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.
Ive installed the pixel launcher but it keeps crashing. Is it not compatible with the android one OS? Do i have to remove the launcher3 app to make it work? running 8.1 on stock
Which Pixel Launcher? I use v6 of this modded Pixel Launcher, and I have no issue.

You have to get their companion app to get the google now feed working. Its pretty lightweight and you can use custom icon packs.
Smooth Pixel Launcher?
Hi all,
I've noticed the stock launcher with Nokia 6.1 (2018) has gotten a little jumpy even since just getting the phone in June. I assume because of software updates. Looking to use a Pixel Launcher that runs smoothly on this phone. Any advice?
Use Lawnchair

Hello all....
I just switched to the Pixel 2 XL from being with Motorola Phones for the last 18 years.
It was a welcomed change but a different experience for sure.
Since getting my Pixel I have made the following changes:
Downloaded:
Nove Launcher Prime - Changing the Home Screen, Dock and Drawer
Pixelation Icon Pack - I just wanted a few more options from stock
Motorola Command Center Weather Widget - Well because I like it
Zooper Widgets - To add the date to my home screen
I really like the Pixel Launcher that came with the phone but the Google Search Bar was driving me crazy so that's what lead me to XDA. Looking for workarounds on moving this bar.
I was also looking at possibly downloading the Android P Beta 3 but was not sure if that would be over my head or not.
So for I am really liking this Phone. Really wanted to wait until the Pixel 3 XL came out but had to make a move so hear I am.
Any feedback or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
There is a ton of info on here it just gets crazy trying to jump all over looking for answers.
Thanks for taking a look and have a good day,
Rodney
Welcome to the party. If you are wanting to try Android P, I would start by reading here

Nova launcher will remove the Google search bar it's part of the launcher I use to really like it until Oreo came out then I prefer Google's launcher
This may not be true but I prefer to stay stock in sense of launchers and skins because otherwise I feel it's a little bloaty and feels like the phone slows down a bit more then other apps I own.

Nova ftw. I have never even tried Oreos launcher, so I wouldn't know how it is.

The stock Pixel launcher was really nice just wouldn't let me remove the search bar.
I am really liking Nova it allows you customize every aspect of the phone.

Yeah I love it and you can backup your settings to Google Drive so you never have to worry about setting it up again.

Yep I backed mine up then went back to stock to see which one I preferred. Nova won!!!! :good::good::good:
Since you're new to Nova:

Personally I'm waiting for the little Android P quirks to get fixed but before that, I've been a Nova Launcher user for a several years now. Great stock look and feel yet extras that don't make it a bulky launcher.

Have you found a way to add the flashlight to a gesture?
I never set a Nova gesture to do that. I usually just do the flash light with the lockscreen on, swipe down the quick settings, and tap the flashlight.

Yea that works.... Quick

I like ROMs for that because they usually have hold power to turn on flashlight Wich is my favorite way to turn it on with one hand

Welcome to the party! Obviously there are alternate launchers but if you like the functionality of the pixel launcher try 'LawnChair' it's currently in alpha but from what I've heard it's pretty stable.
https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=lawnchair
XDA is the right place to be if you're looking to customize, There's also 'rootless pixel launcher' if you're looking for similar customization https://www.xda-developers.com/rootless-pixel-launcher-3-4-released-large-tablet-support/

Hello is there chance to change icons without root and third party launcher to do this? I don't want to install Nova etc. Default launcher is good for me. And if you use nova or other launcher than animation isn't smooth. I'm talking about pixel new bottom navigation.

Without root? No, I don't think so. With root yes https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-pixel-launcher-mods-icon-packs-t3732483

Hi guys.
Just got my hands on the note 10plus. What a Machine...
I came from all the previous notes...
I don't know if I'm gonna rooted or not yet.
Is there any way to use icons grid more than 5x6 without rooting?

If you want to keep using the stock launcher you can install from the Galaxy Store the following:
- Good Lock
- Inside Good Lock install Home Up
Using Home Up you can use a grid up to 7x7.
You can also install another launcher such as Nova Launcher that can use a grid up to 12x12.
Really bro?I gonna try it.
By the way....is it normal 4300mha battery only last no even a day?
Mi note 8 lasted longer than note 10....
