1) Install Rootless Pixel Bridge.

2) Now requires Rootless Pixel Bridge too. If you have that, enable GPS, make sure weather is enabled in the Google App, refresh the Google Feed and if it still does not work reboot your phone.

I am trying to contact Google's support to get my listing back up with an update that removes the entire auto-install mechanism, but if that does not work out I'll have to republish it under a different package name.
[Android Apps and Games] hall.cool:
Hi Amir, I have tried all your suggestion above but it's still not working. My new added At a Glance widget has weather show but not the default from Rootless Launcher. Feed is not working too. Not sure where the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] IAMAB:
Is it possible to separate out work apps(like the ones generated from Island) in the app drawer? Currently all gets listed in the same app drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] CamoGeko:
You could just use version 3.7? At A Glance and G Feed is working perfectly fine for me here.

What did you mean by separating apps?
[Android Apps and Games] IAMAB:
Like the one in screenshot.

It basically puts all work apps(sandbox/island) under work tab

I'm currently using this launcher. https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-rootless-pixel-2-launcher-google-t3688393
[Android Apps and Games] Guimenez:
How can I added the weather widget like pixel one?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] hall.cool:
geko95gek, thanks for your suggestion. I tried using 3.7 it's working now so should be 3.8 conflict with my phone. Also my Google App need installed as system app.
[Android Apps and Games] dbesoli:
If some one can help.

Yesterday I installed Oreo on my P9 following this guide: https://xdaforums.com/p9/development/rebrand-update-tool-hwota7-p9-eva-t3820849

After install the version 3.8 and the bridge I can't make it work. Enabling google application on left doesnt work and At a Glance only shows the date. I got google working if first I start it from its own icon on launcher. But If I left the phone locked, after several minutes the left swipe stops working and in any case I've seend the at a glance widget working.

I think I'd disabled everything about battery monitoring on both apps: launcer and bridge but still no results. Someone else has faced this problem and solved it with Huawei Oreo?

In the other side, the stock launcher shows the google feed with left swipe, but you know, other launchers sucks if you've worked several weeks with Launcher 3

EDIT

Uninstalling Google App fixed all issues but now, from time to time I loss the swipe to google feed. It works again if I manually opens the app from launcher
[Android Apps and Games] thegrantonstarcause:
Have installed this on a Poco F1 using MIUI 9.6.14. Have noticed two issues:

* When I try to grant notification access to the launcher I get a system settings crash. Other launchers (nova etc.) are able to be granted access.

* Changing the shape of the icons in settings doesn't seem to do anything.

I'm guessing these are all MIUI specific issues so not sure if others using Xiaomi devices have also experienced?

Thanks for the great work on the launcher.

Update: For anyone interested, this works in the latest MIUI 10 beta, still an issue in the stable release though.

thanks for support/updates

:good:
[Android Apps and Games] azaidi:
White list Rootless Pixel Bridge and Google App from Huawei's background app killing, that should keep the feed working.
[Android Apps and Games] azaidi:
Yes, MIUI specific issues, and seeing as it's fixed on MIUI 10 it doesn't make sense to implement a workaround in the code for it now.

-

For those who didn't see it yet, the launcher is back on the Play Store :)
[Android Apps and Games] dbesoli:
I think I've it done yet. But you're right, it seems like device is killing it from time to time. Another thing is, the first time I swype the links aren't working. Is like all the feed were a picture. I can for example, refresh the feed but the links does nothing. If I manually start the google app and go back to launcher and swype to google feed it works then.

Anyway, probably, all is due to the Android 8 version from Huawei
[Android Apps and Games] FrankoHN:
Is dark Google feed available?
[Android Apps and Games] Petert87:
Do you have plans to Port the Pie launcher with gestures? I'm using a Nokia 7 plus, would be nice to have this launcher with gestures.
[Android Apps and Games] andu86:
great news to have you back on the play store!
[Android Apps and Games] Baronik:
can't see the weather - I've turned on the location, reloaded the phone, gave all possible agreements. All version until now haven't got that problem?!?!
[Android Apps and Games] azaidi:
On Android 8 and 9, yes.

Currently impossible without root.

Answered this many times before..

Enable GPS, make sure weather is enabled in the Google App, refresh the Google Feed and if it still does not work reboot your phone.
[Android Apps and Games] FrankoHN:
Thanks for taking your time and answering, will it be available for Android 7?
[Android Apps and Games] Petert87:
Do you have plans in the near future to support Pixel 3 Launcher on Pie?

I can't use your current laucher with Pixel Bridge on Pie Beta on Nokia 7 Plus. Because of that I rolled back to Oreo, because I prefer your laucher then stock Android One.
[Android Apps and Games] CamoGeko:
Welcome to the worst dev team in Android right now and the worst skin, EMUI.

Possible pixel navbar with animation on this launcher?

I search this nav for non root device but without success.
[Android Apps and Games] DiogoSilva48:
It's possible but you need to change system UI, there's no way to add that to the launcher.

Removed the 4 columns grid on Motorola's OS

[MENTION=3012129]azaidi[/MENTION]

what means "Removed the 4 columns grid on Motorola's OS" ?

i have a stock moto z 7.0 and see no difference here... otherwise it works great, is my daily driver now
[Android Apps and Games] lulu60:
Hello thank you for the launcher, but on honor 5 X i have a 4x 4 grid, how Can i have a 5x5 grid?
[Android Apps and Games] azaidi:
Motorola normally forces a 4x4 grid on every DPI except for the hotseat. This fixed the issue where even on a zoomed-out DPI (small display size setting) it would still use the 4x4 grid with a 5 icon hotseat. Change your display size now if you still see a 4x4 grid.
[Android Apps and Games] FirePsych:
Try:

Settings>Display>Display Size=small
[Android Apps and Games] lulu60:
It's OK for me with middle screen size ?
[Android Apps and Games] TokedUp:
When I open the actual GN app I have to tabs at the bottom, 1 for my feed and 1 for upcoming alerts. When I slide left from the home screen for GN I don't have those tabs on the bottom. Just wondering why it would be different?
[Android Apps and Games] azaidi:
That is not handled by the Launcher, it just requests the Google app to give the Launcher an overlay. The Google app decides not to give the tabbed view to the Launcher, probably because it would look weird when doing a slide from the left.
[Android Apps and Games] TokedUp:
Ok I see. Thank u so much for removing the Google Launcher from the app drawer!
[Android Apps and Games] dhrandy:
Love it on my Samsung S8! Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] DON2003:
so the best version is still 3.7 which doesnt require brdige add on?
[Android Apps and Games] azaidi:
As far as I know the reason it does not work is because of Google, I did not intentionally disable it in the launcher. If Google enables it with an update to the Google App, which I doubt they will do, it should work.

https://github.com/amirzaidi/Launch...id/apps/nexuslauncher/NexusLauncher.java#L300

If you are having issues with the bridge then the answer is yes
[Android Apps and Games] andu86:
After the 3.9 update the app is constantly using GPS.

Does anybody else has this problem ?
[Android Apps and Games] maXDAmn:
nope, just enable battery saving on the location setting to prevent battery draining.
[Android Apps and Games] andu86:
I think I have found the culprit.

It was the pixel bridge v1. I had the first version installed since it's release and now I uninstalled it and installed V2 from apkmirror and now it doesn't access my GPS all the time
[Android Apps and Games] azaidi:
v2 only has some additional code for app search on Oreo, outside of that they're equal. Neither has access to your location. It's probably coincidence.

https://github.com/amirzaidi/aidlbridge
[Android Apps and Games] andu86:
Yes, that was just a coincidence.

It was Uber Driver app.

Sorry for wrong accusations :)
[Android Apps and Games] nissanoo0:
please add the ability to change individual icons

love this launcher
[Android Apps and Games] CamoGeko:
I would have to agree with this, some customization is limited due to the launcher not being able to do this.

Also for some reason when I use the Swift Black theme now on v.3.9 I don't get a black Google bar at the bottom, which means it's not being themed correctly. On 3.7 it was black with a white G logo. Probably not a fault of the launcher itself though.
[Android Apps and Games] azaidi:
Might be because I changed the package name to amirz.rootless.nexuslauncher, try to contact the Swift Black dev to notify him about it. I didn't change the styles, so the same code should still work.
[Android Apps and Games] CamoGeko:
Yeah could be, it's fixed in their new version now.
[Android Apps and Games] EJUR:
[MENTION=3012129]azaidi[/MENTION] Thank you very much for your great work. I have a question. In the future update the launcher to the Android 9.0 interface?
[Android Apps and Games] FrankoHN:
Does dark mode have to be enabled? I'm on Oreo 8.0.
[Android Apps and Games] azaidi:
I will probably wait for 9.1 and Pixel 3 and then see what I will do. I'm currently very busy with my second year of University.

The dark feed will automatically show up if the launcher theme is dark on Android 8.0, 8.1 and 9.0. You can manually set the launcher theme to dark or use a dark wallpaper for it.

This happend all the time in all versions of the launcher .

Here is an screenshot of the bug
[Android Apps and Games] CamoGeko:
Ahh good luck with the rest of the year bro, really hoping you get round to updating to the new Pie look soon. I think many people prefer it over the way it looks in Android 8.1

In either case, thanks for all your hard work. This launcher has been working flawlessly for me. Just feel like the design is becoming outdated nowadays with so many ROMs coming out of the box with Pixel experience nowadays.

I have never had that issue, and I've been using this launcher since v3. :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] andu86:
I've had this error since like forever and I'm also using it since version 3
[Android Apps and Games] CamoGeko:
Feel like the problem must be on your end, you're the first person I've seen complain about this.
[Android Apps and Games] azaidi:
This happens to me with the real Pixel Launcher too, and seems to be an Assistant issue
[Android Apps and Games] EErez:
Hey, I would like to thank you for your hard work on this great launcher! I am experiencing a bug where there is a weird rendering glitch at the bottom of the app drawer, the last row of icons is rendered beneath the actual last row in a very glitchy/spastic way. Im running phh android pie in 420 dpi on a mi 8, so it might be a very specific bug, not sure. I recorded a video of it:

Youtube Link

Edit: this appears to be an issuee with the GSI and not the launcher, my apologies.
[Android Apps and Games] Durreau:
I like the launcher, but how hide the google search bar in home? i don´t need it. Im in 7.1.1
[Android Apps and Games] CamoGeko:
You can't hide it.
[Android Apps and Games] :
But would be great + lock desktop Option.
[Android Apps and Games] CamoGeko:
Well this launcher is meant to be as close to stock Pixel as possible so I doubt we will ever see those options.

You could always try a launcher like Evie, it has these features that you want.
[Android Apps and Games] :
I know .. but These two options and it would be perfect. I tried every launcher but this one is the cleanest. I debloated google so the bar shows for nothing. And desktop lock is for my sausage fingers. I think its no bad request
[Android Apps and Games] CamoGeko:
A request is a request but I really doubt its gonna get looked at, if it does then I reckon it will be after the Pixel 3/3XL has been out for a while.

Try the launcher I recommended, Evie is really good!
[Android Apps and Games] maXDAmn:

Thanks!! this launcher is perfect for me!!

[Android Apps and Games] Baronik:
I'm looking forward for new version of Rootles Pixel Launcher, since linked version is arm64 and require Pie (and I have neither of it on my Moto Z Play).
[Android Apps and Games] CamoGeko:
You're not on a 64bit device?

Sounds like you might need an upgrade lol.
[Android Apps and Games] Baronik:
My contract ends in March, so I'll change phone, but I don't have money to do it now, unfortunatelly...
[Android Apps and Games] guzman66:
I have noticed that with the last few updates of certain google apps (photos, news, home) that the circle icon is gone and it is back to just the shape it would be under my stock launcher (7.0 Nougat). I am using azadi’s icon pack and I know it has the circle Google Photos icon in it but it won’t apply it and I can’t override it when I choose preferences for that app
[Android Apps and Games] CamoGeko:
Ah I understand, that's fair enough.

So what problem are you having, can you not install this launcher at all?
[Android Apps and Games] Baronik:
You clearly didn't understood me - I said I can't install linked version for new Pixel 3 launcher that require arm64 and Android 9, since my MZP is 32-bit and will last on official Oreo (won't be officiall Pie for that model). Not the Rootles Pixel Launcher...
[Android Apps and Games] azaidi:
I've been working on some build.gradle scripts together with [MENTION=7049589]deletescape[/MENTION] that let me compile Smali files together with Java files in Android Studio. This means that it is significantly easier to port features from the Pixel Launcher because I don't have to decompile a hundred classes, and instead I can simply add the parts that I want to use. I was experimenting with using .jars but this automation took it to a whole new level.

Furthermore, most of the fixes for older Android versions are already in my local test builds but the customization is still missing. I want to redo my app hiding and icon pack implementation and might make some simplifications to animation handlers, as AOSP has become a big mess in Pie.

3.9 will (probably) be the last Oreo build and the only known serious bug I know it has is that apps with a single character name with accent can cause a crash in app search.

There's an old test build of "Shade" in my Telegram chanbel (which is what I called my Pie WIP launcher internally to separate it from Rootless) and it should already be working on Lollipop and higher, although obviously the development isn't very far on that build, so it's only for those who read want to get a taste of Pie right now. I'll be sharing more details soon when I have made more progress. Uni life is still ongoing and end-term exams are coming in 1.5 weeks..
[Android Apps and Games] MotoGix:
During nighttime the meteo disappears from at a glance widget. In order to get it back, I have to force the Rootless Bridge close. My phone is a Moto X Play with 7.1.1 stock and locked bootloader. I am using the 3.9 version from Play Store.

I leave the phone in a area with low WiFi signal and frequent WiFi-4G switch: could it be the reason for such issue? Otherwise, deep sleep could be another likely reason. I can not imagine nothing else...

Capturing the logcat output is not an easy way, since I don't know when the problem exactly happens. :)

Anyway, a workaround is to use the Google app widget, in place of the launcher one. It seems to work fine.
[Android Apps and Games] andu86:
I don't know much but it seems to be a problem caused by deep sleep. Your phone goes into deep sleep and it closes the location services. When the Google app doesn't know your location it won't display the weather because it didn't know where you are and what weather to display.
[Android Apps and Games] MotoGix:
The "at a glance" widget of the Google app, which I have added on my home screen, shows the right meteo information. This implies that location services survive to deep sleep. Perhaps it is just an issue concerning my device.
[Android Apps and Games] MotoGix:
Once again.

Just for clarifying... :)
[Android Apps and Games] CamoGeko:
That used to happen to me on much older Pixel launcher versions, and other Pixel launchers. Hasn't happened for a while though, I'd wanna say since version 3.6 everything has been fine.

Make sure you have your weather settings correct. Sometimes turning off then turning on Weather Updates can help.

Is there really no Oreo or Pie for your device yet? That sucks. :(
[Android Apps and Games] MotoGix:
Thanks, next time it happens I'll try to turn off/on the weather updates, as you suggested.

Oreo, Pie, what are they? :laugh:

Motorola does not provide additional support for this 3-year old phone and at the moment there are no bug-free Oreo/Pie ROMs. The thing that is holding me back to buy a new device is its great camera: custom ROMs can not guarantee the same performances.

I'm using RPL 3.9 In 6-7 devices 8.1 all... until now,I have no problem or error & I do not change this launcher! (I have nova Pro)

[Android Apps and Games] mlkj5002:
OK but i can uninstall Google lanncher?

For BATTERY drain witch is better?

- Google pixel launcher?

- Rootless

- Quickstep

- Lawnchair v1/v2
[Android Apps and Games] daitalos:
If the Google Launcher is the default launcher on your device, you can't uninstall it ofcourse(in fact it can be done, and replaced etc,but is not recommended)

For me,RPL 3.9 is the best launcher but this is only my opinion....
[Android Apps and Games] mlkj5002:
Rpl best for battery drain?
[Android Apps and Games] daitalos:
....perhaps and for this(absolutely for the Ram memory)...BUT! there are other things you can do about battery drain ...For example : custom kernel or custom rom etc...

Plays an important role & how many applications you use & if you use social apps,how many accounts you have on the device,auto sync, etc...The launcher perhaps plays the last role for battery drain ...

(I think this discussion here is OT) :(
