Does anyone know how to enable the bridge for Pixel Launcher to enable 'swipe right for Google feed'?

I am personally not that taken with the Nextbit Robin native launcher, and have decided to go with Nova Launcher instead.
If you want to see the basic cloud functions of the phone and what still works on Nova take a look at the article on my blog here which includes a youtube video walkthrough:

Just so you know, you can pin apps and unpin apps very easily in Nova. While in the stock launcher, you can enable debug settings in the Smart Storage by tapping on the version. Then enable Smart Storage in Launcher. Then when you switch back to Nova, when you want to pin an app, go to the Smart Storage app and select Pin Apps in the menu. Profit.

Thank you for the details. This helps a great deal.
Hi, so my question here is:
I have installed Googles new Pixel Launcher, and I like it a lot, but I don't get any "Notification circles" on my apps, I had the same problem with the last beta, and if I sideload other google "nexus" stuff, like googles phone app etc. the notification indicators on the apps are missing.
So, how can I get them to show, or is it not possible?
Cheers
I take it you don't have Google Now integration on that launcher?
No, there are Google now integration.
I ask because I plan to root my 10 shortly and flash the pixel launcher and I really enjoy the swipe to the right with Google now.
well, they have removed the swipe to the right, now you dubble tap the G logo and it moves you to the Google Now app
Need some help with my Google Pixel XL, specifically with regards to notifications. I can't for the life of me find a way to turn on the red badges for notifications and can't seem to find anything related to it online. The red badges I'm referring to are the little red bubbles in the top right of the app frame showing you how many, for example, emails you received on the app. Not sure if this is not a feature of the Google Pixel XL or I'm just too dumb and can't locate this option . Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance :laugh:
Nexus and Pixel don't have that feature on Stock Firmware so there's obviously no option in the settings for that.
You either have use a - I have no tip cause I don't need those counters - third party app or maybe some xposed module thingy after rooting the device when it is available.
Nova launcher has an option for unread notification count.

Try adding the widget for your mail app to the home screen. The default icon do not have the count badges, but most of the widgets do. I use both NINE and BlueMail and this is the only way I got the badges to work.
Try Nova Launcher Beta, it can be set up exactly the same as stock pixel launcher plus the addition of unread count bubbles. You will need the beta version which can be signed up to within the regular app if you want the swipe up to enter app drawer feature.
I use Nova + Tesla Unread, though displays incorrect counts occasionally.
Well... This ain't iOS lol. Just jk jk. You meant notification badges, as the guys above said you may need another launcher. Still don't know why you would want that. Androids notifications are 1000000000x better than ios anyways.

Hello, I just got my new to me, unrooted refurb 3a XL and have a few questions regarding changes I'd like to make without having to root my device:
- Can I move the clock to the right side?
- When using pixel launcher, can I remove the google search? I disabled Google app & rebooted; but still can't remove it.
- Any way to enable gestures + Nova launcher? It's greyed out when choosing Nova launcher.
Thank you.
The december update (released yesterday) allows you to use gestures with 3rd party launchers. Update your phone.
Thank DriveEuro, that did the trick.
Any way to get the vertical recent apps instead of horizontal? I understand in Android 10 it's baked in the OS and can't be disabled by removing the pixel launcher? Any way around it?
1. So, with the rootless pixel launcher, is there any way to get Google Feed by swiping to the right? I know there's a Rootless Pixel Bridge, but it's not installing correctly.
2. I KNOW i'm stuck in 2008, but I'd like to swap home and recent buttons. Is there a fix for this?
Not sure if One Handed Operation plus will work on non-Samsung phones. If it does it will do just about anything you want it to.
It's on Playstore so it might...
