Hi all,
Can't seem to get the 'app shortcut' feature (long press on icon for shortcuts) of Android N working in my app launcher even though my device is upgraded to the latest Android.
Anyone worked out why this is?
Thanks.
Feature was introduced in 7.1
As far as I know we only received 7.0
Ah that explains that then. Thank you!
You can install Nova launcher and have this feature.
This launcher imitates the pixel launcher with all the features + double tap to screen off
Cheers, will check it out
Hey guys i found this tutorial by mistake
You can get the old recents design by uninstalling oneplus launcher if you don't use it,,,,,
You can use titanium backup or debloater module in magisk
Enjoy the old recents design:good:

Hi!
Personally I really like new design of recents. It really designed to for faster multi tasking.. cu the old one just terrible(maybe just for me)
But i have another question, why new recents design is related to the launcher? So what that means? i will need to use OP launcher to have it or Pixels launcher? So if I will want to use a Nova launcher i will be stucked with an old design of recents? Then we will need to use mods to get it?.. Its kind of bull****.. because NEW android software features relies on ****ty launcher.. why it is not integrated in main software? Im just wondering if it will stay like this?..
Because an old recents is integrated into software..
Same goes for pixel phones... You need to use pixel launcher to get new design..
Maybe i dont know something...

I hope this will change with the final release..
I just rooted and installed magisk. I love everything about the stock launcher except the icons. I love the icon pack on the play store called MaterialOS, so is there a mod to apply that pack to the stock pixel launcher? I saw some modded pixel launchers in magisk but they are not the same as the pixel 3 launcher. I've searched for info on here but haven't found a solution. Thanks for any help!
Just install lawnchair or nova launcher. they have the exact same features as the pixel launcher (and much more). Plus, they have proper icon support. No magisk modules needed.
Lol so I guess that's a no...
Has nova implemented pie recents yet?

The recents menu is set by the OS, not the launcher. If you have pie, you will have pie recents.

Long press home
Icon pack
Do you guys manage somehow to remove search bar from the home screen with Pixel launcher and add % display in QS? I checked the mods in pixel 6 pro thread, but don't know if they will work on A13/7 pro.

Hello. I got the phone today. And that's the first thing that bothered me. But as far as I could find the information, it is not possible to remove it.

Not possibe on stock launcher
Maybe with aosp mods ( you will need lsposed)
I just use Nova launcher 8.0.3 beta with Nova Google companion. It's a heck of a lot easier and it lets you hide the notification bar as well.
I use LawnChair as Launcher. It is imho nicer then the stock one and has more features and you can remove the search bar from home screen
I wish they would allow you to do this instead of a third party launcher - the animations in third party launchers are not great compared to stock.

Not sure what you mean by the "animations" but I use Nova Prime and 3 button navigation, and everything works great. I used gesture navigation for awhile but got tired of it a couple of years ago and went back to button navigation and never looked back.

When you swipe away an app it animates the app going back into the icon in a fluid way. Third party launchers can't do this.
Use Pixel Launcher Mods to hide apps, enable icon packs, and change out the at a glance or searchbar widget. It requires Magisk.
In order to blank either of the widgets you need an empty widget, I prefer The Empty Widget on the Play Store since it has zero permissions and nothing superfluous. You can then use the hide apps function to hide the icon.
In order to modify the QS you will need AOSP Mods which requires Magisk and LSPosed. The Xposed version is the minimum, but if you download the Full version it will come with overlay themes to allow you to remove the navbar, change fonts, theme the QS, and change the system icons style.

Does this method to hide the searchbar widget move the icon drawer down to fill the gap?
Not seen anything on the stock launcher that makes it worth putting up with the limitations. Even when mods are used, it's still clunky and limited (for example, you can't change icons for individual apps).
Nova for me, far better and it does everything the stock launcher does and more. I've always found some people being desperate to stick with stock a bit strange.

With the Pixel Launcher mod you can change icons for individual apps while using the stock Pixel Launcher.
I've used Nova, Lawnchair and Hyperion for years and years but am currently using the stock Pixel Launcher with the Pixel Launcher mod to change icons and a Substratum theme to get rid of the gesture pill. Not desperate, just a personal preference. I guess I would fall into the strange category
Wich substratum theme are you using?
Can you had some screenshots?
Thx

No, you are not removing it but rather replacing it with another widget which is just going to be a blank one.

It is a Substratum theme (FSIM-Version1.apk) for this Magisk mod. You can find it via the Telegram link in that Github repo.
Ahh ok...but needs root
A happy Nova user here, what you want is what you get

I took prefer to do this. Pixel Launcher Mod has something that Lawnchair used to have but no longer does if I'm not mistaken, but the ability to apply multiple icon packs at once pretty much keeps all your icons themed at(I normally have 3-4 applied) all times.
Ok, I checked out the pixel mod again. It offers a lot but still falls well short of making the Pixel launcher an everyday use for me.
For example, you can't get rid of both the top and bottom bars at the same time (not the mods fault, I know). And my main issue with it is that you can't change the grid size so you're stuck with 4 columns and 5 rows which simply isn't enough for me.
So whilst the animations and smoothness are nice, they're not nice enough for me to put up with the stupid limitations Google have put in place.

For what it's worth, the stock Pixel Launcher goes up to 5 x 5.
I was using FNG with NovaLauncher on 14.0.3 and could use gestures with no problem, now after updating to 14.0.4 I cannot change to gestures as it asks to revert to the default launcher, which I don´t want to use, I prefer Nova by far.
Any options to hide the NAV buttons?
Thanks
