There are other XDA users that have mods of

This exact launcher with icon lack support.( as well as there's an app in the XDA app section called pixel launcher mods that gives icon pack support) I don't think continuing to ask for it over and over is going to change the devs mind.

You're telling me you really didn't know the reason was bec you had to uninstall the current version first?

Also, you say you will lose everything. What's the big deal? Well you have a choice, you either dont update and keep your setup, or you update, and take the what? 5 minutes it may take to re setup everything.

(Bangs head off wall repeatedly bec of entitlement of some XDA users)

[Android Apps and Games] azakosath:
Try to enable "Force colored Google logo on search bar" and check again. It may looks that it keeps your phone awake and drains battery, but I really doubt it.
[Android Apps and Games] Heex:
Works perfect on Nokia 6, Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] TonyOTC1:
Some things that I noted: Whatever was done to fix crashes on MM fixed the immediate crash on some versions of Lollipop. However, opening the Home Settings using app version 4.0.2 will result in a crash of the launcher on 5.0.x and a redraw of the home screen on 5.1. (The latter being present in 4.0.1)
[Android Apps and Games] mystertom101:
As much as I like the launcher, it is definitely a battery drainer, 3% in 30 minutes
[Android Apps and Games] SnoopDoge:
Why I still have to uninstall the old version?
[Android Apps and Games] Stampyron:
Not for me, it hardly used any battery after about 8 hours since I charged my phone.

Actually, i also feel a little battery drain on Xiaomi Mi A1, about 3% in 20 minutes. I will try the "Force colored Google logo on search bar" as someone said a few replies back. Strangely, on a Mi 4c, it works just fine.
[Android Apps and Games] lusephur:
Efficiency? What are you blathering on about? Security key was lost, package is signed with a new key. It will not be fixed.

Uninstall old and use new.

If you're so concerned about redoing how you have your homescreen set up, use titanium backup.

Back up the launcher, uninstall the launcher. Install new, restore data only of old launcher.

---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

Logcat might be required.

Something is causing a drain, but its not the launcher.

Majority of users do not have this issue. Therefore the onus of proof is on you. And the best way to do that would be to start with a logcat file.

This has been a tough thread to follow, but I don't think I've seen this one and a search didn't yield anything useful.

Lineage 15.1 with Google product sans font installed gives me a broken ":" on the lock screen clock. Same setup on 14.1 worked fine. DPI has no effect.

Edit: not a launcher issue. Fixed by installing this font zip: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74322148&postcount=35

Are the app shortcuts visible to anyone? Because I cannot see shortcuts on long pressing the app icon on any of the apps for this launcher... Whereas on others I see the shortcuts...

Using Mi A1 stock 8.0.0 unrooted
[Android Apps and Games] paphonb:
You need to set it as default launcher to see shortcuts.

[Android Apps and Games] Cizzle4:
[MENTION=6018897]paphonb[/MENTION] great work! What do you think about the possibility to hide the search bar?
[Android Apps and Games] Lurensu:
Try lean launcher.

This is a pixel 2 launcher port and the google search bar is one of its key-feature, I don't understand why you guys keep asking stuff like this.
[Android Apps and Games] Stampyron:
Maybe because they think the search bar is ugly. Hahaha......
[Android Apps and Games] azakosath:
Because a lot of people don't use the Google app, or because it takes to much space, especially on small screens, like in my little coconut (SE wt19i), or because they just don't like to see that bar.

Edit: ... and because it's veeeeeeeeerryyyyyy ugly...... :p

I added one more screenshot of how it looks with qsb.
[Android Apps and Games] Cizzle4:
Man you shouldn't be able to hide app and stuff who are here too, i just ask for that because i like this better instead lean launcher, foto smoothness and stability
[Android Apps and Games] doomalikaw99:
I don't think that's normal :( it's on top in the battery after youtube. I'm using 4.02 on my htc 10 running stock oreo 8.0.

Do you think I should install the version for 8.0 since the current one is ported from 8.1?

Those results are with "force colored google logo" on.
[Android Apps and Games] Lurensu:
I get it and I know that not everybody like the look of it...

But there are so many launchers out there and I don't understand why you use this one if you don't like the look, that's it :)
[Android Apps and Games] DON2003:
really enjoying this great launcher on all my devices, but hope it can include a standard set of icon that match pixel too, no need of custom icon support but just displaying standard set of pixel or oreo icons,

it display ugly lollipop icons for like camera, etc on xiaomi devices,

or is there any fix for it? pls share
[Android Apps and Games] Stampyron:
You can use amir zaidis launcher for icon support

---------- Post added at 11:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 AM ----------

You can try lawnchair, Nova launcher or action launcher.

Use an app called pixel launcher mods with this launcher. (Root needed)

https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/mod-gives-you-custom-icon-packs-more-pixel-launcher-0182179/
[Android Apps and Games] azakosath:
Excuse me, but I didn't ask for alternatives. It's MY choice to use this launcher and this mod for several reasons, I know the alternatives, I used some of them and still I prefer this one. I know that the dev is keeping it as it is and that he only has enabled some hidden features that were already there.

P.S. I do find qsb ugly:p:p and in the wrong place and Google should put an option to hide on the future.
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
I don't think anyone is questioning your choice of what launcher you use, because no one only you has that right to choose.

I think what's more important here is the devs choice to keep this launcher as close to the original as possible, so unless (or until) Google moves that search bar, or gives an option (like nova and others) to remove it or turn it off, it's going to stay there.

To be fair, the dev did say at the beginning of this thread to keep this as close to the original, and that's what people seem to forget.
[Android Apps and Games] azakosath:
I couldn't agree more, that's the reason I posted a workaround a few pages back, for those who want to use this mod, but they don't like the search bar.
[Android Apps and Games] Sheetzie03:
#1 many others have shown it does not.

[Android Apps and Games] MarwanTamer:
It was 4 days charge I dont let the battery drain to 0 or charge to 100 so for example everyday the launcher takes 2% of battery so for 4 days without charging up to 100% it will show 8% used out of battery since the last full charge so. It was my mistake lol
[Android Apps and Games] Stampyron:
Very confusing?, but never mind.

---------- Post added at 07:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------

The search bar is there because the Pixel 2 XL is tall so they put the search bar below. I suggested lawnchair because it can disable the Google pill, leaving only the dock below

Thanks man! This is really sweet.

I have a OnePlus 5t and tried Google Now, Nova, the stock launcher and now the Pixel launcher.

Love this one, but really need to get used to the search bar above the drawer. I keep pressing search instead of one of my folders. OCD is kicking in hardcore, as I always had the bar at the top.

Also not a huge fan of UI being forced, Apple does that too. Hopefully Google will allow some customization and include an option to move/delete.

Until then I think it's great you're trying to stay as close to the original as possible.

Thanks again! :good:

Hello! ? I can't install the new updating of this Pixel Launcher on my Nexus 6P. Can you help? What to do? "App not installed"
[Android Apps and Games] KasraMC:
To install the new update you will have to uninstall the old one. Uninstalling the old one will remove all the data of the home screen(s).
[Android Apps and Games] Stampyron:
Just for comparison. And what do you mean for OP5T users this is in Android apps and games. Plus, the OnePlus 5T has a snapdragon 835 processor, no reason for it to lag. Maybe because of OnePlus OOS.
[Android Apps and Games] M5devil:
You could be right, that's why I wanted to ask other OP5T users on OOS if they experience the same lag. The lag only happens on the left swipe.
[Android Apps and Games] osm0sis:
Yup it does, but I swear this only started with Open Beta 2 or 3, or some update to the Google App/Beta around that time. So either a different ROM or an older Google App would be worth experimenting with.
[Android Apps and Games] M5devil:
This lag is really annoying the heck out of me. I would go back to Nova launcher, but I don't like the old cards style. Really got used to the new which is only present in Pixel Launcher. Will probably go ahead and test it on 8.1 rom
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
Comments like that make it sound like you are saying nova deliberately gives you an older style Google feed, which Im sure you are in fact not saying and I'm sure nova doesn't do that.

Or does it?:eek:

The only reason nova sometimes gives you the older feed is the Google servers know you are not using a pixel or the pixel launcher when swiping right so they don't give you a pixel feed.

Nova gives me the exact same Google feed as this launcher does (see my screenshots)

It's also a known issue that one plus users have had issues with the Google feed in nova too, complaining of a laggy transition and animation.

I follow nova launcher as much as this one and many one plus users have been complaining to nova in their own community about the Google feed.

If nova one plus users are having the same issue as you sre, that would obviously point to either something Google are doing or have done (latest Google app maybe???) Or have you had an update to Google play services?

It could be something one plus are doing or have done (updating to 8.0 a few weeks ago or updated beta as suggested in an earlier comment???)

I don't know because I'm not a one plus user, I'm just trying to help you.

I hope the info i shared helps you try to get your issue sorted.

Oh, here's the screenshots.

I was Pretty Happy until lasr two days that I notice higher memory usage... Strange but true, no new apps installed and event after rebooted the free membership was under 1gb con my P9 with Nougat... Could be issues with EMUI and it's phone manager... Back to Emui and again 1'5gb as free mem... I am.not obsessed with "free ram (wasted ram) but with the emui's phone administrator and it's task killer... So back to Emui to avoid issues...

I'd say you're spot on, I had been running Google Play Services (Beta) and found to have the same issue, since i left the beta program, uninstalled the updates, Google Play services then updated to the latest stable version and the lag seems to have disappeared, for me anyway. Maybe worth a shot for those experiencing the same issue :)

Just downgraded to the stable versions of Google Play service and Google App to see and it's maybe slightly improved but still a pretty choppy transition unfortunately. So from what I can tell, either an even older version of GPs or GA are needed, or it's Beta 2/3 after all.
[Android Apps and Games] occtec:
Ok, I guess it was just a stab in the dark, seems to have worked for me absolutely no lag at all. I am on official 5.0.3 so no beta and I did factory reset as well, just a thought.

Good luck guys, hope it's sorted soon for all :):good:

Works on S8+ Exynos very well. No bugs. Some nice customization available too. Like Google search bar G logo customization , force round icon or remove, force dark theme or apply automatically when dark wallpaper appears, dark text.

But: Please add a customization option to change(add or remove) font size and font shadows in both homescreen and app drawer, at a glance font shadow. And wheather status not showed always(May be a bug).
[Android Apps and Games] osm0sis:
Ah, could be both maybe - something in open beta 3. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Stampyron:
The dev said no customizations will be added in this launcher as he want the launcher to stick as stock as possible.
