Alternatively, you can install the official Pixel Launcher from here:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/pixel-launcher/
I have it running on my device without root, bear in mind that the Google Now panel will not work
And that you need to enable developer options to use the "Change Icon Shape" feature
:good:

Hi.
I've tried this method a few times and it says "app not installed" after downloading and installing it?
I'm not rooted, anything I need to be changing in settings?
Thanks

It works for me, I installed it on both stock Oreo and Nougat
This is the one I am using, its the latest on the site
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...el-launcher-odr-4023749-android-apk-download/
Although I believe there should be a new one from the official release of O on the Pixel
One thing mentioned in the comments there is that the package name conflicts with the rootless pixel launcher.
So if you have another Pixel or O launcher installed, you need to uninstall it before installing this one

There's also a modded Pixel Launcher with Google now and round icons, but not nearly as much customization as Lawnchair. That's what I'm using. Can find it on Android Police and I think in the apps section on xda

Weather widget isn't working

I've had the latest official Pixel launcher from apkmirror installed on Android M and O, and the weather widget has worked. You'll have to wait for a while for it to appear instead of the date widget. Very rarely it disappears, maybe once in a month, but it will come back soon.

I think it wants device position (GPS) and then it works... I haven't checked for how many days it keeps the weather update.

I'm able to download the pixel launcher right from the play store. On my Zenfone 2 running cm13 I also get high quality unlimited storage for Google photos as well.

I encourage everyone with a Zenfone to root their device cause there's a module for Xposed that enables Google assistant for lollipop. I love using the assistant

If you want your home screen rotation, you must try latest Nova launcher, and sure you can make it looks like Pixel launcher. I'm using Nova launcher prime 5.0 beta 8.

@akaSStalkALEX this posst is for how to enable google assistant not the launcher. And for that also you need to have custom recovery installed and its for androind 7.0+.
Heres apk you can install dont need root just google page on left is not working it needs to be installed as system app to be working.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2L_Wttn2hD-RE5KbDYwOFg5MDg/view?usp=drivesdk
For activate weather goto settings>apps>show system apps from top right menu>find pixel launcher app and grant all permission and it will work.

I granted all the permissions already and its still not working. I am using xperia z2 existenz 5.0 deodexed
after opening the menu the background is white in colour .. that's pretty annoying , will it be possible for me to change it to black , or may be transparent ??
Works like a charm on my Z3 existenz 5.6.5 no problem at all
For peeps who's fail or got issue please give info what ROM, odex / deodex I'm sure it'll help Dev while porting an app
can we get 5 apps on the dock? like the real pixel?

Okay, thank you very much for the clarification, I got it. What do you think will there be any possibility to work it without root in future?
Hey is the shortcuts function included in this version?
It doesn't work for me!
How come it only has 4 icons in dock and not 5. Grid size is also 4x5
I revert back to leaked Launcher3 coz have 5 apps on the dock
simple solution for who want 5 apps on te dock is edit the display density to 280 dpi
unrooted device: adb shell wm density 280
Plz add 4x5 drawer app and hide app options
Everything working fine on my Z5.
Thanks a lot!

Reduce your device's dpi to a lower dpi than the current one.

Pixel Launcher 2 Rom's AOSP

Hi guys
Today i will show you how to have the new launcher from Pixel 2.
This apk is working in Android 7.x .x
You can try in Android 6.x.x
Enjoy ( Install as normal apk )
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz8Gwis2qhfrenhFSDNqUDdWTDA/view?usp=drivesdk
Grand Prime's DPI is too small for the Pixel 2 launcher, so the search bar does not have any margins at the bottom.

Replace it with your default launcher. I think it's Launcher3. Replacing should work because the both of them have same package signature.

This problem is this:
You have the old pixel launcher installed by defect,
You need uninstall it, then install the pixel launcher 2.

The stock launcher that is preinstalled on the ROM. You have to replace it with the Pixel 2 Launcher. I am not sure about RR but on my AEX the stock launcher is Launcher3. Maybe RR is also running Launcher3 as most of the AOSP is bundled with it. So replace it from
/system/app/Launcher3.

Uninstalled old pixel launcher solved the problem

Do you know how to swap the back and the recent on android P? I used the custom nav bar by paphonb but it says it's not supported in the app and does not let me do anything. I even used adb on my computer but they just got reset after reboot.

Probably just not compatible yet. It is a DP after all. Things will likely be worked out as Google gets closer to the final P release.

Any way to get Vertical Recent apps on Pie with 5T?

Thanks. This isn't working for me. I followed the procedure and al it did was remove the ability to view recent apps completely for me. Did you uninstall the OP Launcher before installing the older version OP Launcher? Or did you simply download and install the older OP Launcher without uninstalling the newer version first? Also, I don't appear to have the ability to uninstall OP Launcher.

You should be able to disable the OnePlus launcher with ADB. Give that a try.

You don't really need to uninstall OP Launcher. Just go into the App Info and click on the 3-dot menu in the top-right corner, you'll see the "Uninstall Updates" option.
install an older version from apkmirror on top and you're all set!
