Hello guys!
I really like the Pixel 2 launcher, but I'd love to have a bunch of small features that the rootless version has like:
-swipe down anywhere for notifications
-disable white gradient on bottom of screen
-force coloured Google logo on any wallpaper
I cannot install that launcher as I need to uninstall the stock one and that requires root. Is there any way to get these features, especially the G logo thing?
Thanks in advance!

If it's rootless I would assume it installs as a second launcher that you can enable (settings, apps & notifications, advanced, default apps, home app). I assume "uninstall you old Pixel Launcher first (if you already have one" means if you installed the Pixel launcher while it was not the default one (like installing the Pixel launcher on a Nexus 6P).

If I try to install it it says simply that it did not install. It conflicts with the stock one on the Pixel which cannot be uninstalled or even disabled.
Strange that a rootless launcher requires root. It's probably designed for a non-Pixel phone.

I believe this is the current Pixel Launcher (it's the version installed on my 3XL): https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=pixel+launcher
This is a little bit of an OCD-type inquiry, but in other screenshots and reviews of the Google Pixel 3 XL I don't see this small, upward arrow visible. Do any other owners have it in on their device?
Hi all, so my biggest bug bear with the Honor/Huawei devices is the launcher. In my opinion it looks outdated and a launcher.
I've been having some issues getting any third party launchers on the device but I've now found a modded Pixel launcher that work - link below.
Once you've installed it and before you set as your default launcher, ensure you go into the app permissions within the app and set all of them on. Then set as your see default and bingo, you've got Pixel launcher.
Enjoy, Paul.
On a side note Honor/ Huawei, please update your launcher. It's poor and looks so dated.

Action Launcher is actually a pretty decent replacement. My issue is sliding up to get to the recently used apps on this device.
So now that Google deprecated the Google Launcher, what is my best bet to make my Tab S4 look and behave more like my Pixel 3? I've frozen the Samsung apps by and large and replaced them with the Google ones on the home screen. What is my option for overall behavior? I'm a fan of Samsung hardware, but not any of their interfaces that I've ever used. I may still be bitter from TouchWiz UI.
personally I m using Nova or Shade Launcher (there are other options)

I use Action Launcher - have used it for years on my tablets and my cell phone.

I use Nova Launcher Prime cause I need all the fancy stuff, but for cleaness I would use Lawnchair Launcher. Simple launcher, with yet, a few good features under the hood, including the usefull Sidepanel with Google News Feed.
How did you freeze apps?
Hello!!
I have 4 accounts on my phone, one of them is a Google Apps one. I like the way the default launcher keep my personal apps separeted from my work apps, but it don't have so much personalization options. We can't remove weather or google, or even move it from main screen, for exemple.
I have tried some launchers like Evie and others, but in some cases, my work apps even appears on app drawer!
Can you point me a good launcher wich works with Google Apps profile, like this stock one, with more personalization options?
Thank you!

So I updated to miui 14 and the option to lock apps is not available anymore. In previous versions you would just hold the app down in the recents list and then the options would come up to to lock the app or not.
I have two identical phones and it is the case in both of them.
Ok it seems the option has just gone in Nova Launcher if I revert back to the normal system launcher the options are there!
So a temporary work around until Nova Launcher is updated is to switch to the system launcher and lock apps there and then switch back to to Nova Launcher.
I have now contacted Nova Launcher to see see whether this can be implemented
