Why not making the widget background drawer white??

Also in app drawer, when using the quick slider on the right for quick movement between apps, the slider and the balloon with the letter that appears are not synced.

Also the quick slider on widgets drawer isn't pixel blue in color but that one is synced correct with its letter balloon

Thanks

Im sure you know wiping data of the Google app would prob fix that, at least temporarily, until someone else figures why its happening and fix if.

Of course there's a beta of Google app. You can find apks on APK Mirror or join Beta program in Google Play.

I did join the program and go immediate update, yet I see no changes in search bar so probably some server side switches are also involved.

[Android Apps and Games] TonyOTC1:
This happens to me as well. If the widget overlaps the area normally occupied by the At a Glance it will disappear upon reboot, restart, and turn off. All widgets on the home screen that are placed underneath that space should stay where they are and intact.

Cannot change wallpaper and Randomly disable OK Google on Nexus 6

Thanks for this awesome and updated launcher, I'm really like it. Just a few things happening so far...

- Cannot change the wallpaper, here is the repro: Press & Hold home screen > Wallpaper > then the error message pop up "Apps isn't installed". I can use an alternative way by just going to Settings > Display > Wallpaper & then just select and adjust the image to set as wallpaper - this might be a minor thing to consider to fix.

- Randomly undetected OK Google - this randomly happens. Go to Google app settings and Say "Ok Google" anytime, it is disabled and not allow to enable (try to slide to the right to enable but it is moved back to the left which is disable this function. To fix this, I'm still not sure - probably clear cache, reboot the device etc. I can't find the root cause yet as of now.

The above is the issue experienced me, so it's up to you to take this into consideration to fix or just leave them. I'm good with it and still using this launcher anyway. :)
[Android Apps and Games] NE0HP:
To use the wallpaper function you need to Install Google Wallpaper app from Play Store.
[Android Apps and Games] PisinS:
Great, thanks. It does work now. :)
[Android Apps and Games] salman.ghauri02:
Please update the launcher. The new version from Google has a Google search bar that has text in the middle that reads "Search apps and web..."
[Android Apps and Games] Sheetzie03:
Really? Hmm that's weird, nothing remotely close to that here.

I'm guessing this issue has more to do with your device specifically, rather than thisnlauncher, other wise would be an issue for everyone.

Lastly. Op mentioned he'd be busy with school( think I seen this on his XDA profile), so im assuming that's why we haven't seen any activity lately. But it's not like there's this huge need for an update, this is the Stock Pixel 2 launcher with a few extra goodies, it's working just as the stock launcher from Google is supposed to work. Those of you that want more, this isn't going to be the launcher for you.
[Android Apps and Games] Xarano:
Long pressing Icons doesnt show app specific options, it only shows "app info".

Is this feature not working ? It worked with the stock pixel launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] salman.ghauri02:
I meant that Google has released a new version of the launcher that says "search apps and web...", But this launcher hasn't been updated to match the updated launcher from Google

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 PM ----------

I think that only works on Pixel and Nexus phones
[Android Apps and Games] Xarano:
It worked in the stock pixel launcher on both my S8+ and HTC One M8, both running 7 Nougat. But unfortunately not in this modified launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] pepe100:
No, you are wrong this launcher is not compatible with all Roms for example in my Galaxy S5 TouchWiz is not working it.

[Android Apps and Games] MUELAJE:

[Android Apps and Games] Stampyron:

Edit: It also adds unnecessary clutter on your homepage, so why do you want that?
[Android Apps and Games] salman.ghauri02:
To make it as close to stock as possible. That's the whole purpose of this launcher
[Android Apps and Games] Phil_Smith:
The title says 5.0+, so does the first sentence in the OP... Not such a far away thought that it might work on Marshmallow actually
[Android Apps and Games] etch_kayy:
Have you tried giving notification permissions as mentioned in the OP? But the shortcuts are supported on 7.0.x+ ROMs if I'm not mistaken, so it shouldn't work on MM, but you can still try.
[Android Apps and Games] Xarano:
It already had notification permissions, and I'm not sure where you got MM from, I said before I'm on Nougat.

Does nobody else here use this launcher? Why can't someone test and see if it works for them?
[Android Apps and Games] etch_kayy:
I use it, so does everyone else and yeah they're working fine for me, I didn't do anything special just gave it motivation permissions and set it as my default launcher attaching a screengrab JIC, didn't have any notifications so just showing the shortcuts.
[Android Apps and Games] lakija:
Some apps have that option some don't. Try on YouTube .
[Android Apps and Games] Stampyron:
That's not stock, the original Pixel launcher doesnt have that text.

Anyways, if you really want that, there's no way you can get it. It's a server side switch and whoever gets that text is completely random. So unless you're one of those random people chosen to get that text, there's no way you can get that text

---------- Post added at 12:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 PM ----------

Nothing to do with notifications permissions, that's for the notification dots. You're just suppose to set the launcher to the default launcher on your phone, but you already did that.....

Maybe something with your ROM?

Edit: If it works on the stock Pixel launcher then it should work for this modified Pixel launcher too.....

Maybe try clearing the launcher data?

[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
It does work on X3 6.0 MM devices I have laying around.

It also works on an old 5.1 device I have.

So if its not working on that Samsung S5, it must be an issue specific to that device.

I have a Sony xperia and two Alcatel devices running 6.0.1 and this launcher runs perfectly fine on all of them......

I'm not arguing with the bug report, I'm just stating it does work fine on other 6.0 devices and it does run on a 5.1 device as well.

So its not an issue effecting "every" 6.0 device.

Come on now!! I specifically linked this article to give u proof that it's just a server side testing by google. Read the article b4 posting it as a proof of exactly the opposite!

Smh
[Android Apps and Games] Stampyron:
The article clearly states that Google was testing that text:"This time Google is testing a small change to the Pixel Launcher"

And the article also says that whoever gets that text is random: "so there doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason to which phones are part of the server-side test"

So what I said about whoever gets that text is random is completely true. Even if you want to get that text, there's no button or some sort of switch in the launcher. The switch is with Google, and only Google can on or off that switch

Absolutely awesome app. nice work. Works flawlessly on my BlackBerry KEYᵒⁿᵉ

I would love an option to remove the google search bar on the bottom of homescreen. Anyway thats coming to the customizations page?

[Android Apps and Games] DavePKR:

[Android Apps and Games] Stampyron:
Ahem.......
[Android Apps and Games] fdgd1998:
So how do you explain that? The screenshot don't lie.
[Android Apps and Games] Sheetzie03:
No it doesnt Iv seen post after post with screen shots showing it doesn't
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
There's been many many posts about this launcher either using too much battery OR too much ram.

In most cases, the people complaining about battery drain fail to tell us they are runing multiple widgets on their desktop (that show the launcher using far more battery) or they have a built in device optimization app/centre that warns them their ram or battery usage is excessive.

All I can tell you is I went out and installed this launcher on five separate devices using Android versions from 5.1 all the way to 8.1.

Not one device showed a battery drain of over 3%

Now can YOU explain THAT?

But if you are someone that looks at battery usage your device is displaying when it's widely known to be the most unreliable way of gauging a devices battery usage then there is not much more I can say to explain this to you.

Edit

If you want me to post screenshots of those devices and their pixel 2 launcher battery usage it's no issue to do so.........
[Android Apps and Games] Jiggs82:
Hey just curious can this app be installed in a non rooted phone?
[Android Apps and Games] a8ksh4:

[Android Apps and Games] fdgd1998:
First of all, thanks for your response and say sorry to you if my message have annoyed you.

I don't run any widgets or have any built in optimization app. Just I have seen weird that excessive battery usage.
[Android Apps and Games] Micjmiu:
How do I go about increasing the DPI. I cannot find that option through the developer setting.

Buttery smoothness when in use. Much better than the original Pixel launcher.

Thanks for the quick response.
[Android Apps and Games] Stampyron:
That depends on your ROM, sometimes it's in display, sometimes it's in customizations.
[Android Apps and Games] schrickz:
settings - display

or

settings - accessibility
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
Your post didn't annoy me, but there are some devices that do show excessive battery drain using this launcher - but the dev did look at this much much earlier in the thread and dismissed these reports down to something amiss with the ROM, the version of android or like in some Samsung and huawei devices, a optimisation was causing this launcher to show excessive battery usage, when in fact it uses no more that any other launcher.

I did have this with version 1.7 of this launcher and it was very quickly knocked down as a bug with the custom rom I used on one device.

But I can only be honest with you and others reading this, myself, wife and kids all run this on various devices and I know many others do with no issues or excessive battery usage.

Then we get a post like yours and everyone gets upset, angry and say this launcher is bad.

Its not, but I do suggest further investigation rather than just post here this launcher drains battery, because if it did, this thread would be hundreds of pages long with bug reports of battery drain, and its not.

so why don't you do some comparison with nova and other launchers, setting each as default and trying for a day or two then reporting your findings?

I'm my own experience, lawn chair launcher used much more battery than nova, and Nova used more battery than the pixel 2 launcher.

Pixel 2 launcher, launcher 3 and ASAP launcher used the least battery than any of the more popular launchers.

Someone will now post back and say I'm wrong and something else is better.

The point being made is all devices are different, and what works great for me may not work for you and vice versa, and I'm not sure what can be fine about that.

Hope that helps.
[Android Apps and Games] fdgd1998:
In fact, all is going well now. I don't know what was the problem before.

I am using that in my HTC 10 with stock oreo.

And yes, lawn chair uses too much battery, the reason I have unistalled it.
[Android Apps and Games] Sheetzie03:
Well you are clearly in the minority here. Sucks for sure, but it's definitely something more related to you and your specific phone, rather than this launcher, other wise you'd see every one with the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] osm0sis:
Interestingly even using this mod on my OP5T the Google Feed pane only displays in the new semi-translucent style once the Pixel Launcher APK is added to the system partition. Before I did so it would be the old style with the large weather and swipable cards.

Probably no way to fix that since it's up to the Google App and Play Services detecting it being in system on their side, but I thought it was worth noting.

(I added it via a quick and dirty Magisk module, and the issue was reproducible by toggling to disable the system APK and rebooting.)
[Android Apps and Games] mcduffie2010:
Are you using Google beta. If so that's the problem
[Android Apps and Games] osm0sis:
Ahh absolutely. Good to know! Must screw up the A/B testing group I'm in or something. But yeah, once it's in system I'm golden again, so :silly:

[Android Apps and Games] ImAbhishek_47:
I'm using this launcher with Nitrogen OS based on Oreo 8.1, I am loving this launcher. Would like to know if there is any way to actually manually turn on dark mode in 8.1. Currently the launcher defaults to change the theme dynamically which is fine, except when I'm using live wallpapers in which case it remains light themed even when the live wallpaper is black.
[Android Apps and Games] mdfarazb2:
