Updated to the 7.1.1 beta today. Are the round icons only appear on Pixel phones. Every article I've read said that was a feature in the beta. I am completely stock and my Icons aren't round. Am I missing something? Love the new camera update and the app shortcuts.
It's pixel launcher's privilege.. I think I saw an apk at Apkmirror yesterday about icons and pixel launcher too.
These should do the job.
I installed latest Pixel launcher apk and latest round icons app
So far the only round icon with white background I'm seeing is the calendar.
Now, regarding pixel launcher...I don't know how to make the swipe option work.

I do say that the best launcher with customization is Ofcourse Nova launcher.
Nova launcher beta version is now Google companion supported. It will soon roll out for Stable Nova version.

5-beautiful Setup
Some screenshots here with some themes.
Actually System Launcher takes more RAM than nova, both are good in their own features.
MIUI launcher also has live icons for Clock, Calendar and Weather app. Almost all the launchers have live Calendar option now but if I remember correctly, MIUI v6, v7 or maybe both also had seconds display along with hour and minute hands on the clock app icon. That looks pretty if you ask me
I've used Nova launcher before. It's nice. Lots of customization. However. I am using the default MIUI launcher now and I honestly don't miss Nova.
System Launcher
I am more stock admirer so nova hands down... I actually have only one page in nova and launching most apps with appdialer. I use launcher page mainly for some informational widgets and shortcuts
Nova all the way, light and well performing
Nova its customizable, you can turn off / Block screen with Double Tap. Also support 3rd party beauty icons. The bad Thing is some widgets like clock do not work properly.
MIUI stock its very good and support a lot of beautiful themes. Pretty widget and Wallpapers but you can put apps icons by alphabetic order.
smart launcher is way better than both of them, i really dont understand why it isnt more popular
No way default launcher of mi can beat nova...ecen stock Android launcher is better than mi home launcher...After buying a mi phone the first thing I did was to install Nova launcher.
And for the second choise use Buzz launcher
System launcher

I use this Lock widget in MIUI launcher on every screen, quite handy if you ask me.

pls share the link of the themes u have applied ?
I liked Nova Launcher but i like simplicity of Evie Launcher. It has double tap lock and supports different icon packs available on playstore. Give it a try. One more thing is its Free and Ad Free. Enjoy.
I like Nova launcher for the fact you can edit truncated app names, and scroll the dock plus other things. The ONE thing MIUI launcher has in its favor is the Quick Function Widget has a toggle that will turn Mobile data on and off directly without going thru the settings. Thats a big plus for me, but you cant edit app names, or scroll the dock Its a real shame that you cant directly toggle mobile data on and off with nova or power toggle, like you can do with Native MIUI launcher
Hey guys, is there a way to change the oneplus launcher to look like the pixel launcher? I mean with the search bar down the icons?.
We re on 8.1 and still looks pretty much the same since nougat.
Yes, ruthless pixel launcher or rootless pixel launcher. Google it
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.
Is there any way to change icon pack in stock Pixel launcher without installing any other Pixel launcher mod etc.

There is no option in default pixel launcher. But there are many other pixel launchers like Customized Pixel Launcher (CPL) available on Playstore. One of the best pixel based launcher with plethora of customzation options.
