Can you add the option for icon pack and option to remove the Google search bar in home screen?

I know you want to keep the launcher to minimal

But if you could add any of these it would be great.

[Android Apps and Games] Stampyron:

---------- Post added at 12:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 AM ----------

Changing the APK's package name will break too many things in the launcher. For example, app suggestion, widget, etc.

Excuse me, I would try to change, with apkeditor, the color of the screen part around the Google search bar. I would it more transparent.

Could I know the name of that variable?

Thanks, works perfectly on my infinity hot5 please can you add notification dots? And if possible change icon packs..😁
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
Please Read the FAQS in the OP (First Post) as what you asked is answered there.

1. Notification dots only work on android 8.0+ now.

2. Icon pack support is NOT being added, but if you have root you can use the app Pixel Launcher Mods to change icons.

In mi MI A1 Everyeye time you tap on anteprima icon, with aspect "Round Square", the Launcher crash. It happens only to me?

After that the request app starts but I must rerun the Pixel Launcher.

[Android Apps and Games] public3n3my:
'Rootless' here refer to the ability to use google now feed without pushing the app into the system. This 'rootless' refer to the launcher,, not your system behavior. So this 'rootless' won't give you the ability to alter system setting/file and etc on your phone.

In your case, you already have stock pixel launcher, unless you're root so you can either hide it or uninstall it to replace with this one, there's no other way to for you(maybe there is, but idk). Because the stock and this one share the same package name in order to make the feed work(if im not mistaken).

Hm swipe up can be done. Widget I use Another Widget. What I do miss is the new Google now swiping in the left

Enviado desde mi ONEPLUS A5000 mediante Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] stunned:
It can be done but it is not same as in Pixel launcher. Nova only has swipe up from dock, elsewhere you have to use gesture which is not same as swipe up everywhere, it doesn't follow your finger. Another widget uses wrong date format for my language (as does almost every app, I think it is some library/java date format problem)

---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

Microphone should start assistant/voice search and if your region doesn't support assistant it should launch voice search. Now it launches Now on tap.

Idea of microphone icon is that you can speak to your phone, now you can't.

That's how it works in official Pixel Launcher (well the micrphone comes visible only if you don't have assistant), I suspect this is just a bug with P dev preview version.

If you read the FAQs you would see icon pack support is NOT being added to this launcher but you can use an app called "Pixel launcher Mods" to change icons (If your device is rooted)

Congratulations

You've just become another statistic of posting here without reading the original post or searching the thread..........

(The FAQs are there for a reason - so you don't make a completely unnecessary new post, making yourself look silly then have 30 people telling you off for not reading the OP)
[Android Apps and Games] fegitoli:
About that.

I think people here, and on XDA in general, fail to consider that not everyone who uses XDA is able to root their phones.

Is there any way to get icon pack support WITHOUT root?
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
Not full icon pack support no.

But you can use an app free from PlayStore called "Awesome Icons" it will only change the desktop icons, not the icons in the app draw.

About your comments.

The developer has made a very good point and made his decision about not adding icon pack support to this launcher very clear throughout this thread.

The original pixel launcher doesn't have icon pack support, so why should he add icon pack support to this one?

This launcher is only designed to give you the option to use the launcher and Google feed without root (hence the ROOTLESS title)

Despite that fact, people still insist on requesting icon pack support several times on every single page of this thread, and get angry and upset when they realise it's not happening.

Requesting icon pack support has been a very sore point in this thread.

No one reads the OP or the FAQs, and what you just asked has already been answered hundreds of times in the thread.

Of course I realise not everyone has root.

I don't have root.

I realise nowadays people are far too busy and have much more important things to do in life than read a few pages of this thread and read the developers own comments about never intending to add icon pack support to this launcher.

So please don't accuse anyone of not thinking about users who don't have root, because I don't have a rooted device and I'm in the very same boat as you and many others, but I manage to make do!

Maybe [MENTION=6018897]paphonb[/MENTION] will explain this once again to you as you missed or didn't read his original comments.
[Android Apps and Games] paphonb:

Launcher Crashes on Launch

Hi, I would like to report several crashes I've been having.

Basically, Pixel Launcher was crashing when launching random apps. So I tried clearing the app's data. Then I found that these crashes happen while the icon shapes are set to rounded square. Other icon shapes doesn't seem to crash the launcher. I've tested squircle, square, circle, teardrop, and system default (on apps that frequently crashes the launcher on launch which is in my case Assistant, Twitter, and Twitch).

I've attached a generated bug report. The bug report was taken after launching Assistant. (I've read that it might include sensitive information such as location and app usage, so please don't share it to anyone unless you know what you're doing.)

I would also want to know if the crash occurs on other devices. Thanks in advance.

Pixel Launcher Stopped working

I am using RR Oreo 8.1 on MI A1, on opening phone or chrome Pixel laucher force closes showing "Pixel Launcher Stopped working"
[Android Apps and Games] deepesh_p:
Rendering artefacts

The Google search bar shows these rendering artefacts (jagged lines) on its rounded ends (look at attached screenshots). The weird thing is that this happens only when the app drawer is opened, otherwise the Google search bar on the homepage renders just fine. Have been seeing this since I first tried this launcher (that is since mod 3.1)

The second thing that is new to the latest update (5.3), which wasn't happening before on 3.1, is that the UI freezes when I try to add a widget and stays so until I tap somewhere else on the screen (captured in a screenshot attached below). This means one cannot directly insert the widget straight from the widget drawer and into a desired position on the homepage.

Lastly, I also noticed in the latest launcher (5.3) that notification dots are now either white or black (based on your theme) which are not as visible as the colourful notification dots from the previous versions. See last attached screenshot, it's very difficult to discern the notification dot. Is this something Google is doing in Android P or is it a bug in this launcher?

I'm using Mi A1 on stock and rootless Android 8.0, with March security patch. Sorry, I don't know how to get a logcat, but I hope I've been able to describe the problem and recreate it to capture in screenshots for some of you to help out. Look forward to your responses.

Thanks,

Deepesh
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
This isn't happening on 8.0 devices I have, although to be fair there's been several reports from Mi A1 owners already mentioning issues with widgets and the Google search bar previous to your post.

All I can suggest is going back through the past pages and seeing the reports yourself, as the issue seems to be unique to that device.

Some users of other devices are saying widgets disappear on reboot, not the issue you describe.

I'm using this launcher on a Nokia 6 on Android 8.1 and my wife has a Nokia 3 on Android 8.0 with none of the issues you describe.

While I'm not dissmissing or discounting your report, I am informing you that the same issues you report have already been reported on that same device.

Edit

I notice this device doesn't seem to play well with ANY third party launchers.

The Mi A1 is being complained about in not only this thread, the Amzir pixel launcher thread, the Android P pixel launcher thread, the lean launcher thread AND the Nova thread......

Just an observation and may go some way to explaining the issue.

Make of that what you will..... :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] Stampyron:
[MENTION=5667889]deepesh_p[/MENTION] [MENTION=7682183]bubba1601[/MENTION] Maybe it's a dpi problem
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
I follow several of the "big" launcher communities (including Nova) and that Mi A1 device is always being complained about in every thread I've read recently.

Not that I'm saying it's a bad device, I'm saying it's strange so many users are reporting so many similar issues in so many Android launcher threads and communities.

One of the Nova guys told a user to avoid Xiaomi devices like the plague because they are cheap and badly programmed!

(I'm not saying they are BTW)

I agree there is something amiss there with the A1 but whether is a dpi issue or just bad software I cant say .........

I assume the last thing any Mi A1 owner wants to hear is it has an inherent instability using any third party launchers other than its own default pixel style launcher..... I don't know :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] Stampyron:
Well I'm currently using a redmi 5 plus and there aren't any lines. My smallest DPI is 360 so maybe changing the DPI could help. Perhaps the stock rom on the Mi A1 has very weird DPI by default:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Helby:

How to remove the search box?
[Android Apps and Games] deepesh_p:
[MENTION=7682183]bubba1601[/MENTION] Thanks both of you for those insights. Yes, it's true, the default DPI is at 423dpi on the Mi A1 and taking it to the nearest natural DPIs I've heard (480) didn't change a thing.

That said, as much as I love this phone, I do agree that it's not programmed the best. For example, its more powerful Snapdragon 625 stutters with live wallpapers, a phenomenon that even my old Moto G Turbo (Merlin) doesn't exhibit. And don't even get me started on the network issues they fix and screw-up again between their monthly security patches.

One would only hope that a software, supposed to be coming from Google, wouldn't be marred with the issues of regular Xiaomi devices. It does feel like an underutilized and half-assed effort on a rather potent hardware.

P.S. Yes, forgot to mention the widget disappearing. Happens with a few third-party apps (like Another widget) and not with some (like power toggles).

Edit: Just changed my DPI to 450 (it auto-shifts to 449 for some reason) and it worked (check screenshot)

Widgets are still a problem though.
[Android Apps and Games] :
For me all user widgets disappears. Google calendar widget, contacts widget, they all do. As long as it's not a system widget, they'll disappear on mine. LG V30+ on Oreo.
[Android Apps and Games] Stampyron:
When I change to 480 DPI, the search bar in the app drawer is just like what you said. But when I changed back to 360 the search bar is normal again:confused::confused:
[Android Apps and Games] deepesh_p:
Try 450 (in my case it automatically turns to 449). It worked. See the screenshot I shared on my previous post. 360 makes the UI look too big on the A1 atleast.
[Android Apps and Games] Stampyron:
Yeah setting the DPI to 450 changed automatically to 449 and the search bar is fixed too, but the search bar and all the icons are too small now:silly:
[Android Apps and Games] deepesh_p:
Tried 425? I just did and it fixed both the issues. No more rendering artefacts and no need to trade icon/font size too. Gosh, can't believe so one had to fix stock OS on their own as well.
[Android Apps and Games] shadowfreak99:
Hi , there is some crashes when I drag WhatsApp widget to homepage , it crashes ...... I downloaded version 5.30
[Android Apps and Games] Stampyron:
370 works best for me, maybe because I'm used to using 360:silly:
[Android Apps and Games] deepesh_p:
Whatever floats your boat mate. Lower DPIs end up cropping app text, so I try to find a balance in DPI that solves the rendering issues and also keeps app icons and text legible without being too big.

Hopefully, the Android 8.1 update scheduled with the April security patch for the Mi A1 brings in fixes for these nuisances. Just a few days away I guess!
