The Pixel launcher, formerly known as the nexus launcher, was leaked today and it's apparently going to be used on the future "pixel" devices that will replace the nexus line.
My question is, will it be coming to the only Pixel device we have at the moment running android, the Pixel C?
the launcher .apk was put on mega for download if you want to try it.
You can download it for Pixel/Pixel XL from Google Play.
I am running the same OS 7.1, enrolled in the Beta Program but you still can not officially install Pixel Launcher on the Pixel C.
Wonder why not.

Hi, my pixel 2 xl has version 948 instead of 940: what about you?
940, also the XL.
11.9.49 (948-...)
Mine os 948 also (2XL).
My P2XL is on 940...also from Verizon -- aside from locked bootloader, are these getting slower updates?
EDIT: I forgot - I've opted into Beta's from the Play Store...and this is what they've delivered to me. When I check the play store, my only option is to Deactivate... Wondering my 948 isn't available yet, even in Beta?
Anyone know of any development work being done along the lines of PhoenixOS or RemixOS for Pixel C?
I would love to have more of a "laptop" style UI on my Pixel C.
I have seen Leena Launcher, and though that is going in the right direction, it isn't nearly as nice as the launchers on PhoenixOS or RemixOS. It also didn't seem very stable.

remix os in fully available - go to google and have a search of "remix os for Pixel C" and you will find it
Download the app "Sentio Desktop" from the google play store. The team behind it are ex google engineers, who designed the UI for their own hardware android Laptop, but the app runs on any android device and looks quite nice on the Pixel C

Install moto app launcher update first and install pixel launcher. Work fine for me.
Hi. I am a hardcore Samsung galaxy s series fan. Was using only S series all the time. Moto one power is my first other brand mobile just bought it for battery and Android one. Now my problem is I am missing so many features of Samsung One UI. Infact I'm a big fan of samsung's user interface. Can anyone port the S9 or S10 UI to Moto one power? It ll b a very good experience I feel. Thanks in advance.

All my AR stickers from early Pixels are gone. Didn't Google delete that whole concept before the Pixel 4?

You are correct, I didn't know that.
Google won't support Playground and AR Stickers on newer Pixel phones
Google Playground and its AR Stickers won't be happening on the Pixel 4a or future Pixels. The features will still get support on current models, though.
www.androidauthority.com
First of all, both my pixel 2 xl and pixel 4 xl can use stickers normally.I searched a lot of posts. Since the pixel 5, stickers have been cancelled.But from the entry of the sticker that can be displayed by installing a third-party Google camera, although you can’t click it, it can be concluded that Google should cancel the sticker entry in the latest version of the camera. So I think there may be a certain version of third-party Google Camera that supports stickers. We can look for it together. Or is there a master who can make a module that can be directly activated in the native camera?I really hope to use stickers on pixel 6! ! !
Go to the Xda Pixel 4a Themes & Apps forum, there I have posted my modded APK file of a FULLY WORKING Playground for all Pixel devices...

Gotcha. I own a 4A, and was disappointed at the fact that Google discontinued Playground for the 4a, & all future pixels, so I created a clone of the APK file, removed some permissions out of the manifest, and got it fully working on the 4a (other than accessing it from the camera app, you have to actually manually create a shortcut to the modded Playground and add it to the homescreen), I'll see if I can do some more tinkering..

First of all, thank you very much for your hard work and dedication! I finally opened the playground on Pixel 6 Pro! Thank you so much! I followed your method and created a shortcut on the pixel launcher using the shortcut creater. I also entered the playground through this shortcut. After entering, he will pop up some permission prompts, I allow them all. After testing, short press to take a photo after adding a sticker works well, but long press to take a video will cause a crash. I don't know why, please help me!
My Phone is pixel 6 Pro based on Android 12.
Maybe I didn't search hard enough, but anyone know if it's possible to install the OnePlus launcher on the Pixel 6 Pro? I successfully installed, but it refused to load, even one install that was reported to work on any Android phone. I'm using ProtonAOSP with gapps.
I bought a Pixel 6 Pro out of love for its superior night camera which is fabulous for catching northern lights here in Alaska, but I absolutely love the OxygenOS launcher on my OnePlus 8 Pro. It's a weird request, I know.
All I have to say is,"why?"
Coming from One+ and Samsung..... All users flash roms to come to a Pixel UI and you want a OP launcher on a Pixel? I'm stumped
I'd recommend Nova7 as it's a better fit for phones than OP launcher.
If it's a tinkering matter I totally understand,but, OP on Pixel?
You can also try lawnchair launcher 12. I was missing a few things after moving from 1+ 8 pro to P6 but lawnchair did the trick for me. Basically a pixel launcher with some more customization.

Which features exactly are you looking for?
There are several available launchers on a Pixel, I can't think of any feature set that OP has that is not available, since you can customize about anything, including icons and how animations/gestures work.
As others have said. What's the point?
Anyway, installing the APK will not be sufficient as the OnePlus launcher also relies on a number of native libraries.
You will need figure out exactly which libraries and make them available in /system/lib(64) via a Magisk module.
Too much hassle for what ...
Specifically, I really like this one touch close all apps button. It's a good visual decluttering for me versus memory issue. If I feel overwhelmed by everything I have open, tap the one button and it all feels clean again.

I'll give it a look.
Closing the apps in that way is not recommended and actually worsens battery use. Doesn't do anything for memory use either really as the phone has plenty and manages it well enough. This is why it has been gotten rid of in later versions of Android.

And if you're rooted with lawn chair just use quick switch in magisk and you'll have all you need.

Eh, I charge it enough. It really is more of a psychological visual decluttering for me. I know, it's really best to let Android manage your open apps.
If you scroll all the way to the left you get a clear all

I remember using this on my pixel 2xl. Hasn't been updated in a minute though but it will do the job
One thing i like most about One plus launcher is to hide apps with fingerprint.
Left swipe to reveal but with fingerprint.
Is there any launcher which has this feature?
Check out Ruthless Launcher
Google Play Link
It has a clear all button on the left most page of the app switcher.
Also has app locker function with fingerprint unlock.
Dev is really responsive on Telegram and the app receives frequent updates.
It's customisable - app icons support, grid options etc, loads of features including At-A-Glance and Google Feed etc. Been using it for a few years now.
