Pixel Launcher w/ swipe-right feature [no root]

You can now install a modded Pixel Launcher with swipe-right (Google Now-feed) feature on Moto G5 - no root access necessary!
App shortcuts won't work, tho (only Android 7.1.x).
Important: uninstall original Pixel Launcher first (if installed as user-app apk)! Download
Enjoy!

You mean Launcher3 is greyed out? You don't have to uninstall Launcher3, only Pixel Launcher IF installed as user app apk.

MIUI 10 - swipe up - enable Google-search instead of MIUI-search?

Since every aosp Rom (last was Pixel Experience) gets laggy after some time, I decided to go to miui again, since I never had lag problems with miui.
My GF's RN4 was faster than my RN5 running PE 9.0 so I said it's time for a change.
On miui I only hated the notification lag (or no notification at all) and the, for example reply in statusbar not working like in aosp.
So, since they changed it in miui 10.3 (maybe even before?), I was quite happy with almost everything.
What I am missing is the "swipe up" to Google search, or swipe right from home screen to Google search.
I managed to deactivate the App-Vault (swipe right from home) but I dont know, how to set Google search instead of that miui search at "swipe up from home screen".
Is there a chance to do it?
Or set Google search to "swipe right from home screen"?
I haven't found an option to change the swipe gestures.
I still miss some other stuff from aosp Roms, since they are all "Google based" but miui is miui and I guess you can't have everything.
I'm on Xiaomi.eu 10.3 MIUI, Magisk installed.
Thanks!
EDIT:
With Google search I meant the Google assistant / Google Now too. I mean, it's standard feature with aosp Roms so I guess you know what I mean.. The Google search with some news underneath the search bar.

Goggle feed is impossible to put in miui launcher

Aargh, too bad.
And is there a chance to disable that search or set anything else at that place?
That "feature" is just not necessary for me.

Actually you can enable swipe up to google search back. You just need to clear default of the mi browser in setting > installed apps > browser > clear default. You may notice that the browser doesn't have any default. Just tap on it and the swipe up gesture will open google search again.
How i notice this? Cause everytime there is mi browser update. The swipe up gesture revert back to that xiaomi browser.

Sadly not working for me.. Maybe you don't use the same version?
Also, another question.
If I flash global beta, am I going to get Google search?
If so, what are the benefits (if any) of global beta Rom if you compare it to Xiaomi.eu?
I think, Xiaomi.eu Roms are bit more optimized and debloated or?

Global beta is more stable than the stable channel (which i use currently - build 10.0.6). While there isn't any big difference between xiaomi.eu and global beta since they use the same build except for ads (which can be disable by unistalling msa apps with adb debloater). And yes, you get all google apps in global beta
Btw, can you clear default for google apps and google chrome to see if it working?

Nope, still not working.
Well I guess I have to live with it. It's not that big problem, since I can start the Google feed with the widget.
It would be good though, if you could disable the miui-search but if you have no idea how to do it, then it's alright..
thanks though!

Hey, I had the same problem and solved it! (sorry for digging up an 8 months old thread)
Get xiaomi debloater and uninstall Browser and Search (com.android.search), and voilá. At least it did work for me, on Mi 9, Xiaomi.EU rom.

actually You can enable swipe up google search if you r a root user..
you have to follow some step
step 1: reinstall the rom
step 2: root
step 3: immediately install lucky patcher
step 4: uninstall the system app browser
done!!
google swip up gesture will enable for forever until you reflash the rom.
if you follow step 3 and 4 now without reflash rom the swipe up gesture will show app not installed..
I done this before I am using swipe up google...

You can do it without root, usb debugging adb allows you to uninstall system app without root, and please do not mention L* P* here, it's against the rule to mention that app on xda.

I just wanted to let other users know that this still works on MIUI 12 ! (Mi 9 Lite)
Thanks for the hint! I tried to uninstall Mi Browser via ADB (as I did before), but that didn't work this time. Your post saved my day!

MIUI system Launcher Alfa

I try to install MIUI system Launcher alfa, that I also have on Redmi note 7, and I can not install it.
I want to have swipe up to app drawer like Poco or Nova Launcher have..
Is anyone using this option and how to setup or install MIUI system Launcher alfa to have swipe up to app drawer..?

Won't happen on Chinese ROM. Try Poco Launcher, that will work.

Question Is there a fix for gestures when using a custom launcher?

So I tried using Nova Launcher and then disabling gestures but they don't work at all anymore. Every time I reboot my phone again, the home/back buttons come back again. Any fixes for that?

I use nova launcher and the gestures work perfectly, so only the gestures in the nova launcher. If you want to use native gestures, you must use the poco launcher.

In order to provide gestures properly the app needs to have privileged permissions. This means it needs to be a system app. A custom ROM (on a different phone) had an app called quick switch which changed the chosen launcher to a system app and then rebooting.
In short: try to use root and an app to make nova launcher a system app

I will try that and report back. I don't think it will fix the problem with rebooting+ home buttons appear again but at least making it usable without a third party app (using Fluid Navigation Gestures)

I found a way. For anybody wondering, here are two links with a tutorial on how to do it:
MIUI 12.0 - MIUI 12.0/12.1/12.2/12.5 STABLE RELEASE
Hi, can someone tell why my mi9t pro give me "up to date" when yesterday realised a new 12.5? And is it save if i download manually and install directly from "choose update package" to move from 12.0.6.0 QFKCNXM to 12.5.4.0 RFKCNXM? Hello =>...
xiaomi.eu
MIUI 12.0 - MIUI 12.0/12.1/12.2/12.5 STABLE RELEASE
Thank you... If the only way to make an App 'System' is to create a specific Magisk module ... I honestly don't know if I'm capable of it !! :-\ I made the Magisk module for you => MiRadio-v1.1-Magisk.zip ;) EDIT: Update to v1.1 -> Added "com.miui.fmservice" app
xiaomi.eu
Maybe this can get stickied for people to have it idk.

Question Oxygen OS 13 Custom Launchers

Hello everyone,
As you should already know Oneplus released the stable update of A13 for Oneplus 9/9 Pro, as some of you i installed on my 9 Pro and everything works ok.
But i wanted to install custom launcher so i can have more customizations, i was able to but all Google Apps including Play Store stoped working, does anyone have a clue why is that?
Also i would like a launcher with recents support, i also tried quickswitch but for now lawnchair is not compatible with a13.
Thank you for all your answers.
By the way i installed Systemless Pixel Launcher from Team Files, i will leave the link bellow if someone is interested:
Systemless Pixel Launcher Original - Modified

Yes that does work but i wanted something with recents support.

I'm looking for the same thing, it's agonizing not being able to choose the apps grid from the drawer, and I also don't understand why Lawnchair didn't add support even if it's experimental to android 13

Doesn´t work with quickswitch!
You can install it but the recents are very glittery and no smooth as it should!

without quickswitch the launcher is poorly integrated into the system, it is preferable to use the stock launcher than a launcher that is blinking because it is conflicting

thanks! Just tried it out but seems like lawnchair crashes when tried to swipe up from nav bar (have an OP11) and opening app animation are really stuttery. I might have to wait till things are a bit more polished before hopping back on this.
