I'm trying to install the Google "Live Earth" (blue marble) wallpaper on my Pixel 2 XL. Every supposed port for the P2XL I've found either won't install or installs but stops running as soon as launched.
Anyone know of an APK for the P2XL that works?

Those live wallpapers don't work on the P2XL. Tried the "Your World, Your Solar System" globe wallpaper, but it just stops the app. Most others I've found won't install at all.

They work fine.
Are you using the stock launcher?

Weird. They all are working fine for me... I switch between a few of them all the time. Google Wallpaper app in the Playstore. Your setup may be bugged. Oh, I use Nova exclusively if that makes a difference?
They are working fine on my Google Pixel 2 XL running Nova Launcher... This should not be a problem. Try reinstalling wallpaper app from playstore...

My date doesn't have the weather. I'm driving myself crazy trying to get the weather widget lol
Mine doesn't when I first boot up then after t mins it's appears ,strange

The weather in the top right corner is part of the update in the pixel launcher. You have to manually search for the pixel launcher in the play store, update it. Then make sure you have weather cards enabled in Google now, pull down in Google now to refresh and that should give you the weather icon/shortcut

On my phone it said Pixel Launcher was not available in my country. Used a PC and went to the Play Store, downloaded Pixel Launcher to my phone from there. Working perfectly.
Just wondering if anyone has tried using Nova, Action, Apex or any other 3rd party launcher and what your results have been.
I'm particularly interested in knowing which, if any, Pixel Launcher features are lost if using Nova (for example), and the workarounds to gain back those features.
Thanks!

I use nova launcher. The new Beta enables the icon shortcut and swipe up to get to your applications.
I use beta for nova as well and no problems to report. It features every feature I need from pixel with great customization.
Nova beta here too... Even has the same weather widget as the pixel launcher

Try LGs UX 5 its very nice
I know Nova launcher doesn't have swipe left for Google Now. Most people don't care, but I actually like it

used nova and action. action better in my opinion right now. pixel experience with all the customization. nova missing left swipe gesture which is good to set to get to google now. Once we have root and can place action in system app, will have better google experience.

Thanks. That adds the temp into the search bar. I misunderstood. Thought it put the pixel weather widget on the home screen.

Yeah, you can make the search bar look like the pixel launcher. Correct. I shouldn't have said widget... Sorry

I have been using the stock pixel launcher but after rooting I decided to go back to nova beta. The latest update was from October 27th. I set up everything yesterday with nova but experienced very high battery drain. I was also using teslaunread with nova which I never used before. Does teslaunread cause severe battery drain or could have it been nova beta? Was wondering if anyone else experienced quick battery drain and/or wakelock that wouldn't let the phone sleep. I have switched back to stock pixel launcher for the time being.
I believe the swipe left for Google now is an API restriction from Google. Not that the feature want included.

Why are some bright wallpapers foggy and cloudy near the search bar at the bottom, it looks washed out and horrible, is this because of Google's launcher?
Yes

Other than using dark wallpapers is there anyway to get rid of it?
Other than that use different launcher

Yeah, just use a different launcher like Nova. That issue is annoying. If you want like the at a glance widget, just use the Chronus app or Another Widget app
Cheers, just seems a bit weird Google would leave it like that in their own launcher.
Yup, with Nova you can make it look exactly like the Pixel Launcher, here's what mine looks like.
I don't like nova

Sure! Not sure how well it will restore for you though, I usually have to re set up "Another Widget" to look like at a glance. If you need help just let me know I'll help you get it looking like you want. Here you go: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1odB-3Sle4zWiabrS-3HBlCWtXo99BSXJ/view?usp=drivesdk
oh.. thank lord for this thread... I was getting upset that I am on receiving end of a new screen issue. Thanks guys.. diff launcher or black wallpapers.. Thanks a lot for bringing my spirit back up.

It's called "Another Widget"
BTW there was a bug with that but if you do change wallpapers a couple times itll work fine. I personally dont like nova because it looks different than pixel. the icons look weird or small or something
I was able to match the look of my pixel launcher with action launcher actually. It has a built-in at a glance widget and if you scale the icons to about 85 percent on action it matches it nearly exact.
Hi i installed swift dark on my pixel 2 XL and after a few app updates the apps started to give crash error. Is this normal?

Also for anyone using swift dark when i receive a notification i can't see app name as colour is too dark. I can see messages on notification shade but not the app name and person sending. Is there a way to pick the text color etc

Yep, it's pretty common. Usually the fix is to delete the overlay, then compile, and apply it again. Then again, other times you just have to wait until the Dev updates the theme. It's really uncanny how Google seems to update an app, so the theme doesn't work, a day or 2 after the theme has been updated! Coincidence or conspiracy!?? ??
So I just got a pixel 2 xl and I've been customizing my home screen to my liking. I'm added a widget to my home screen, but every time I touch it to refresh it, it wants to move it or change it's size. Anyone know how to fix this?
You should you're not long pressing the widget?

Absolutely sure, just the quickest tap will act as a long press and make it want to change its position or resize it.
What widget are you using? Pixel Launcher right?

Yes, just stock Pixel launcher. I'm trying to use my bank widget just to see/update my current balance.
It's probably that app widget in particular. I just added a wdiget with a refresh button and it worked just fine. You have another widget to add and test? If so and it works fine, contact the app developer for your bank app.

it seems like its only a couple widgets that do the same.
Try them with Nova launcher...
You might want to change your "Touch & hold delay" setting. You can find this in the Accessibility section in Settings. It has 3 options; short, medium, long. Maybe changing yours to long may help....
Hope this helps...
