So, I used the Galaxy S8 for a couple hours and really liked the swipe down gesture to get into app drawer. I was wondering if there is any way I can get that feature in my Pixel 2 XL?

Maybe using a custom launcher like Nova
I used to use Nova but now I prefer Pixel launcher.
Fooview if you are not rooted, potentially on any screen but only on the sides. When you slide transparent icon.
Xposed edge if you have root.

Does the OnePlus launcher support gestures like Nova? Swiping up to open the app drawer is something I've had for years so I'd hate to give it up in order to use the OP launcher features I enjoy.
I'd love to be able to do this too, did you figure out how to achieve this? Perhaps tasker?
I like the new launcher in Pixel but i dont like that it cant be made transparent instead of the big bar going across the bottom of the screen, is there any way to get rid of this?
Not that I know of...maybe once it is modded by someone.

Agreed I usually use nova but liked it a lot. The swipe up I have been using for a while. But I agree the big bar is awful. You loose the app shortcut long press if you use nova

I have been using Nova for a while now. Their last update included many android 7.0+ features. Look into it.
I have always used nova on phones like samsung and htc but i like the google launcher and want to stick with it, the bar is just to big, i would love to see a mod to see it removed or at leat toned down a lot !
Hey there,
I just got my new pixel 2 xl and i was wondering if there is any way of locking the phone via double taping the home screen . i know its present on nova launcher but i really like the pixel 2 launcher and i dont want to install xposed . Any modded pixel launchers which provide the same functionality?
Btw i am rooted with magisk on android P.
Thanks

If you're rooted you may want to try out edge sense plus and add a shortcut for turning off the phone.
Probably the next million dollar question.
New horizontal app switcher makes me feel I'm using my old S7 edge 'cause its soooo sloooow (and also not always accurate).
It's been found that freezing pixel launcher turns back to vertical app switcher but hey ... I like pixel launcher.
Let's elaborate here on how to achieve this.

Any update on this using Pixel Launcher?
I've always used Nova for the tabs/sorting in the app drawer but since pie has been released, I switched back to the pixel launcher because gestures just aren't the same using Nova.
I'm still missing that app drawer customization of Nova though.
Does anyone know of a process (custom ROM/root/module) that will allow the best of both worlds? Or a module that will permit the pie gestures to work with Nova? Ideally with the dock in overview.
I haven't rooted or flashed anything on a phone in several years so I'm not sure what's possible.
Thanks.
