Hello guys,
i installed the leaked Pixel Launcher apk with the wallpaper package and granted all the permissions in the app settings.
But when i apply the launcher, it only shows 3 apps on the homescreen and not even one app in the appdrawer...
I'm using my Galaxy S7 on the latest update.
Can anyone help me?
here is a screenshot
Its a leak, what means not everything is fine/well programmed
i think its about the implementation of integrating other manufactures' apps. Its till a leak. nothing you can do about (imo)

Hey guys,
I'm trying out a few launchers (Launcher Pro in this case) and I was wondering.. Ultimately if you go for a new launcher, you'll always have the stock launcher installed as well.
What happens with the widgets that are on the launcher that's currently not being used ? Do they still update and take their toll on the system ? Or should you remove all the widgets from all the launchers that are currently not in use ? This is a bit of a pain as you have to set it all up again if you wake up one day feeling like switching launchers.
Thanks for any hints
hmmm
never heard of thet
For example, some widgets are programmed to only do the background updates if the widget "has been installed". By this it means, deployed in a launcher. Now if it's on the launcher that is not currently in used, it may still be doing the updates. Dunno...

yes...stupid behaviour..how to get around this? found anything?
As far as i can tell, they are not updating if the launcher isn't the one being used.
Interesting avenue of thought though. You could use a task manager to see if the idle Launcher or Widget app were doing any work, if you want to check for yourself.
well in the meanwhile I resorted to the stock launcher and removed all others so I never got to dig into it too much. But I might just for the sake of curiosity! Battery Monitor Widget writes a history file. It's easy to download it, place it in a launcher, and start using the other launcher without the battery widget. Then after a while check the history file and see if it's been updated lately...
However from an API point of view I'm a complete n00b so I don't know if the Android platform is stopping widgets on unused launchers or if the widgets have to contain code themselves to query if they are in the active launcher and if so... run. This would mean that some widgets might behave as expected and others not..
Hi!
On KK roms I've been using app "Tile icon Maker" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tileiconmaker), where I had more than 20 widgets placed on nova Launcher homescreen... and it looked beautiful.
then I installed CrDroid 5.02, I can make the same look, but after some time Nova Launcher starts to report errors that widgets stopped working. So I had to delete the widgets/tiles and deinstall the app. It looks like some kind of memory problem?
The app itself is no longer supported.
Does anyone know of a similar app?
I don't want to migrate to some of the available W7 launchers, because Nova is the best.
hi ,
I have packaged two launchers in my source code. Launcher 2 and nova launcher.
I want only Launcher to be default and i change the launcher setting through my app when device is fully booted.
However home selection for the launcher shows up everytime.
Not sure how to fix this?
ResolveActivity.java is the one which shows option to launch.
Can you help me?

We hate warez mate, it's a disrespect towards the work of developers.
Broadcasted from Zeta Reticuli
Maybe instead of trying to cheat the developer, you pay them if you find it's what you want... Cracks and other Warez/pirate activities are forbidden here regardless of what you've heard.
If you don't want to pay, look for alternatives, Google turns up no shortage of options like iLauncher, Blaze, Launcher for 7 & Plus, or how to configure Nova/Action and other mainstream browsers so they don't have an app drawer.
You could pay for it then have two hours to see if you like it and return if you don't. That's probably what I like most about Google Play vs iOS App Store.
EDIT: I would also like to echo what's been said here. Don't do warez, not only is it unfair to devs but it is also potentially dangerous to your device if you download a "cracked" APK that was actually loaded with malware. So even for that reason alone, don't do it.

What bout zenUI? you can use it with/with out app drawer.:victory:
Try ASAP launcher, ap15 launcher and Edge launcher if you wanna reach your apps quickly
I couldn't adjust with the RROreo's default Trebuchet launcher and coming from MIUI, it was hard to settle with any other fancy launchers.
Tried every launchers available in the internet, that was similar to MIUI stock launcher. The MIUI Launcher suggested above is the close one in replicating the stock MIUI. However, I'd strongly advice against it, as it has some serious bugs. It duplicates app icons randomly, and you only uninstall the apps, can't remove the duplicate icons. It gets worse when system apps icons are duplicated.
I'd suggest this.
1. Install Nova and make it the default launcher(free version will do),
2. Create shortcuts of all apps on the home screen,
3. Enable 'Add icon to Home screen' in Playstore settings. (If you're in Oreo or can't see this settings in Playstore, Go to Nova Settings> Desktop and you'll see this option at the bottom of the list.)
4. Now hold the app drawer icon to remove.
I prefer to drag it to home screen and place it in a location or folder that is usually overlooked. I do this because, without the app drawer icon, uninstalling apps (especially when installed from APKs) would be a hassle, since it’s just a shortcut we are seeing in the Nova Homescreen. Adding the app drawer to the home screen (I know this is against the original goal in a sense, but this is very much different from having the app drawer in the dock), helps in uninstalling apps in ease.
Necrobumping because this thread comes up if you look up "Android launcher with no drawer".
After years of struggle, someone had finally made a good launcher with no drawer. Enter Lawndesk, a fork of Lawnchair without the app drawer. It supports modem functions of stock Android launcher, namely adaptive icons.

Hi all,
I finally managed to make some mods for OneUI launcher.
1) changed the app drawer to 6x8 or 6x9...but this is not available as a option to switch, it is hard coded, either use 6x8 or 6x9
2) disabled the adaptive icon (white icon around some app icons).
Since each device has a different version of the OneUI launcher, it may be better for me to share a guide with those interested....
I will try to post a guide shortly here in this thread....
Posting few screenshots...
I have removed the options of changing the grid options from the launcher.
Notice the app drawer having 6x9
Noticed that it seems to break few stock icons when using themes but this is happening because of cloning of app using appcloner. This is applicable only for those on non-rooted phone wherein you need to use appcloner to install a 2nd instance of the OneUi launcher
Update 1: I was able to customize it to 2 grids 6x8 and 6x9 and it is available as option in home and grid settings and works just fine

I can try for sure...but it may not be easy without device since every mod requires testing...
you could also use home up that is included with GoodLock

That's exactly what i want to use but it's not running on my launcher. It's updated. I guess i need a newer phone for that. Not happening.
Thanks for the quick reply.
