Stock Launcher - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

i installed the ruthless pixel launcher (works great no complaints) but it somehow broke my stock launcher - and i cant go back to using my stock launcher
can someone please zip the stock launcher and attach it as it keeps crashing if i freeze the ruthless launcher and wont start.
should be in /system/priv-app/nexuslauncherprebuilt
or system/app

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?

Pixel Launcher Blurry background

Yesterday I installed Pixel Launcher on my OP3.
I'm running Freedom OS 3.5.5, Stock kernel, root & xposed.
Whenever I make a New tab next to my homescreen my homescreen turns blurry, restarting doesn't fix it Unfortunately.

Change your wallpaper
The blurry wallpaper is due to the stock launcher, that blurs the left page to the assistant and the effects remain in the rest of launchers (I was about 1 month to realise of it lol), my solution was to apply the wallpaper from the wallpaper chooser of the app (in my case the nova launcher), hope it helps you to solve the problem!!

Launcher settings

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.

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

Pixel 2 Launcher

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.

[Q] Original Google's Pixel Launcher for S20

Hi,
I used Google's Pixel launcher apk on Android Oreo while I used my S7, no problem.
If I download it now and try to use it, it just force closes. Does anyone know why? I really like the original Pixel launcher.
Disclaimer: I have tried them all; CPL, Nova, Hyperion, Lawnchair v2, etc. I'd like to use Google's one. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Rootless launcher
