And the counter argument to that is to use "Pixel launcher mods" to apply a pixel icon pack.

A choice, suggestion and option has been given to those that want it :good:

I, just like you don't care about icon pack support, but I'm a long term nova user that's moved to this launcher because this launcher is way easier to use than nova and even though it does not have the level of customisations of nova, it doesn't have all the issues on various devices like nova does.

I'll admit, my Nokia does already have "Pixel" icons so I can see users point of view about having that option.

That being said, now I'm using this launcher, I support [MENTION=6018897]paphonb[/MENTION] and respect any decisions he makes, it his app.

He's said he's not adding icon support so let's respect that and move on.

Don't Samsung's have the ability to "theme" system icons to a pixel style or am I mistaken?

Just another suggestion to get away from this icon pack support discussion, which to be honest has had more than enough thread time and space here ;)

Notification dot not working on honor 9 lite
[Android Apps and Games] KNGPN Q w Q:
Please check the OP and whether you have given the launcher all of the permissions it needs (especially notification access!)
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
That's correct, Huawei and honour devices are known not to play nicely with any third party launchers and have built in "Horror" error messages to scare users into not using them, but that's Huawei.

It's a common issue on nova and other launchers too.

Huawei are just bonkers and so is their awful software (speaking as a former Huawei owner)

Can I ask what's the difference between the two version of pixel launcher and pixel 2 launcher ?

This two :

Pixel Launcher Q-4753642.apk (is this from the pixel 3?)

Pixel 2 Launcher moded v5.3.apk
[Android Apps and Games] Ja_som:
There is no Pixel 3, the Q (v6) version is from Android P dev. preview. And v5.x is from Oreo.
[Android Apps and Games] Jiggs82:
Actually the Pixel Q launcher v6. Is from P dp2 and Pixel 2 launcher v5.3 is from P dp1

[Android Apps and Games] KSDJ10:
I have the same issue .any fix?
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
It's not broken.

The app search has just changed to give you a different search UI.

Searching apps still works the same.

It's something Google themselves have changed.

Take a look back several pages it's all explained.

I'm not sure what else you want to hear/read, there is a clear statement from the developer in first post, also it was discussed here so many times with the same result.

Yes, it will be nice to have it, but we will not get it, MAYBE the dev will someday change it, but now you need to accept it or you should use other launcher...

It's Pixel Launcher Q-4753642 coming to Android 7?

O will only be available for 8/9?
[Android Apps and Games] osm0sis:
Might help a bit if that explanation was added to the FAQ answer. People don't seem to realize that as a mod of the official APK it's just hacked smali, or that it's obfuscated so any change is like finding a needle in needle stack.
[Android Apps and Games] mendozaram:
This works for me. Thx
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
That might work but as we just seen, the user was directed to the FAQs.

He confirmed he had read and understood the answer, yet he still posted his request for icon pack support.

He then called [MENTION=6018897]paphonb[/MENTION]s suggestion to use the Pixel launcher mods app "stupid"

So it now seems even though some users do read and understood the FAQs, they feel their request and suggestions for icon pack support are far more important than the developers choice to add or not to add, probably because they asume just like you suggested, its easy to add :eek:

I'm not sure what else any of us including [MENTION=6018897]paphonb[/MENTION] can do in instances like that where users feel the need to completely disregard development FAQs and information and still make a pointless and unnecessary request.
[Android Apps and Games] osm0sis:
I'm sure we can all agree the user's insistence comes from ignorance, I was just narrowing that assertion slightly to suggest it was ignorance of the work required to add a feature to a modified official Google APK. Can't fix stupid but adding what I suggested to the FAQ might help. :p

[Android Apps and Games] Boskoel03:
Nope,8.0 and above,here 8.0 and it's working without issues ;)
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
Thats what I said!

Oreo is android 8.0 AND 8.1, isn't it? Oreo Only? :eek:

I'm also using V6 on 8.0!

The developer states in the FAQs he's only tested V6 on Android 8.1, my comment did not mean that V6 does not work on anything else under 8.1.

Edit

I can confirm V6 doesn't work on any 7.0 or 7.1 devices I've trled.

[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:

Disable at a glance.

Download latest Google app beta.

Use the included at a glance widget in Google app widgets to replace the one in the launcher.

[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
The latest Google app beta version is 8.6.6.21 - The one you have.

Here are the screenshots from my Nokia, note the "at a glance" widget (in Google widgets)

Edit.

Puzzle solved.

Apparently the original at a glance widget and the Google app version is not compatible with Android versions below 6.0 - that's why it's not showing for you. (Information sourced from Reddit)

Note.

This comment is Just for educational purposes - especially for any users of Lollipop that might expect and want the usual features that higher android versions have.

Also some users might want to know why things that should work don't work.

It's NOT a problem..

Google are continuously testing new styles and UIs for the feed.

This new feed UI was confirmed back in April, here's a link to one of the announcements.

https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...design-large-topic-bubbles-lots-wasted-space/

If you really don't like it / want it then just downgrade your Google app.

Edit

Not everyone will see this or get it, just luck where you are and when Google sends these new things, it's really a test to get feedback and user reaction.

No weather info displayed on home screen widgets. Due to package name conflicting, I installed pixel variant build 17, any idea?
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
I'm on version 6 build 17.

Confirmation of weather working.

Have you gone into the Google feed to check if weather is displayed there?

If it's not turned on in the feed settings to display the weather it won't display on the widget either!

A workaround would be -

Go into launcher settings.

Disable "At a glance" widget.

Download latest Google app beta (version 8.6.6.21)

Use the "At a glance" widget included in the Google app widgets.

NB

Works for those who complain date or weather doesn't work in the launcher widget.
[Android Apps and Games] zhw007:
Thanks. This is my Google app setting, how to configure weather like yours?
[Android Apps and Games] Tennixta:
Why sometime the google now page doesn't show?
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
Swipe to the Google feed.

Look for the weather.

Press the three dots on the side of the weather to turn on the weather on your widget

Pretty self explanatory and also ensure location permission is enabled for the launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] zhw007:
Finally, I managed to get weather back on my home screen with your guidance. Thank u very much!

Proof that replies to an issue here are not "Toxic" "rude" or "entitled" and are genuinely appreciated.

One more issue: The force round icons seem to have no effect on my Lenovo K8. Whether the setting's on or off, some apps remain circle and others square...

[Again, I saw about it in the FAQ, but that issue isn't present with Nova Launcher, only with this one, so..]

---------- Post added at 14:44 ---------- Previous post was at 14:12 ----------

I think it is only for apps which support adaptive icons, where you can choose the shape, but for apps which does not support adaptive icons stays default. Nova has a option to "reshape" those icons, but Pixel Launcher can't do it.

Working ok with honor 8. The only problem is that it forces 5 row icons on homescreen and in app drawer and it looks just too cluttered. I saw that on Pixel 2 (5" full HD) it uses 5 row too but it doesn't look cluttered, maybe because of dpi? One more thing i noticed is that weather and next calendar event are not showing for me even though i turned everything on and granted all possible permissions (including Google now and weather related things). Maybe it's because of my country (croatia).

[Android Apps and Games] danieldeng2:
Hello, thanks for your hard work. Do you mind changing the fast scroll bar on v6 to blue please instead of the default teal? many thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] counterfeit187:
You should probably just try to find a way to theme it with substratum.

I don't think most devs appreciate or listen to unsolicited feature requests.
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
The fast scroll bar is already pixel blue on Version 6, look at my screenshot, from a Nokia 3, android 8.0, version 6 build 17 of this launcher.

I think you mean to ask if devices that dont already have that pixel blue scroll bar can be changed to have it, because many devices don't have a teal scroll bar and teal is certainly not default colour on any device I have, they are all pixel blue.
[Android Apps and Games] TomChu:
Hi, Paphonb, I have a question.

Is possible to allow users changing display color by Pixel launcher?

I did not want to harm s.o. in here...sorry

But general talk IS about customisation...

I own a Pixel 2, and because of the smaller screen size i would lile to use as much as i can for my favourite apps and widgets. So dectivating at least one of these two fixed widgets was my first idea, and the only reason i switched to another launcher...

Buts thanks anyway...and sorry for not realizing "disable at a glance" removes upper widget...

Devs in here always do a great job for the whole android community!
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
You can disable the "At a glance" widget (the information at the top of the screen) from the launcher settings under the "Customisation" menu.

It is NOT possible to remove or deactivate the search bar.

Even though talk might be about Customisation, the developer had made it quite clear no such customisation is being considered or offered on this launcher, and has requested users stop requesting such customiseation.

This launcher is staying as close to the original pixel launcher as possible.

That's mentioned hundreds of times throughout the thread by [MENTION=6018897]paphonb[/MENTION] himself and can be confirmed by just reading a few pages of the thread.

These requests are made daily.

I still do not understand why you would make a post here when one of the things you are asking for is already in the launcher settings.

I'm not being mean but did you check the settings to see if what you asked for was there?

I don't think you did.:eek:
