Thread updated with Latest version of Android O Launcher

Great work again, @@[email protected]
Looks like my antivirus loves to detect every apk file as a virus, it's here again
You ported this launcher not for tablets, right?
Look at the screenshot. The icons are really small and so is the home screen. I would better prefer Nova Launcher

6 icons in dock?
What's your screen size?
And if you are rooted then you can easily make backup and then remove Google now launcher .
If something went wrong just restore the backup it.

Hey like can someone port it for tablets.

How do I change grid view to list view for apps?

Hello everyone,
since Saturday I got a new Xperia Z5 after using my beloved Galaxy S2 for 4 (or 5?) years.
Honestly, I didn't want a new phone, but it was just too slow and finally didn't function any more.
So now I am personalizing my new Phone, but am really disturbed by the app menu.
Apps on different pages, where I have to scroll and look for an app? What is this? 2010?
I am so used to the list view on TouchWiz and Cyanogenmod.
How do I get that onto my Xperia Z5 Phone?
Here are some screenshots for clarification. (sorry I can't post links yet)
I have this: googledrive.com/host/0B71qahVEwjt5X1RPY2pSVmdPWmc/gridview
(currently using Google Now Launcher, which is at least closer to what I want)
I want this: androidbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/CM13-app-drawer.png
Or what would even be better, but I guess not possible, this: cdn.cultofandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/applistview.jpg
I hope you know what I mean and can help me.
BR,
Rastla
quite easy to do with another launcher. You can do it with nova launcher how you want it.
And wth!? Nothing easier than a Sony ui menu. Almost complete stock Android. You should even have a quick search bar on top, you can move your apps in the app draw where you want them to be etc.
It's all a little more overviewed compared to Samsung, that's one reason I love sony's ui so much

stock sony ui doesn't have a search bar at top (only the google now launcher).
its just that old grid view i know from early android days. i would even go so far, to compare it to windows 98.
it's impractical and definitively not good overviewed imho.
what can be more practical than a simple A-Z list?

Which Launcher do you use with Google Pixel?

Which Launcher do you use with Google Pixel?
Nova launcher (Prime) for me. Love the customisation options.
Nova Prime
Nova prime
Nova Prime. I think I can say that everyone recommends that so far.
Apex ?
Was on Apex since the GS2 days but switched to Nova prime cause Apex was show with the 7.0 OS updates. Glad I made the move and haven't looked back
Stock
I am loving Google's Pixel launcher. I've been a Nova user for YEARS but I haven't missed it yet. Nice job, Google!
Nova Prime
Smart launcher Pro and Action Launcher.
Pixel launcher for me. I'm trying to just use installed apps as much as possible. I just wish that Google would add app drawer folders and how to hide apps too. I dont really want to root any more so if anyone knows if the pixel launcher can be amended to add these features please let me know.

If you install another launcher (like nova) you can copy every single feature of the stock launcher and you don't need root. I did this when I bought Pixel.

Can't swipe from the left to get Google Now page. Nova doesn't support left or right swipe.
Also a lot of things you may want such as folders in the app drawer are only available in the paid (Prime) version of Nova

Google Pixel Launcher - Google Now with no root, works with Knox (Secure Folder)

Yesterday, AmirZ posted a Rootless Pixel Launcher on Reddit that manages to bring the full Pixel Launcher experience with Google Now tab to all phones without root required.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/6gn8f9/rootless_pixel_launcher_port/
Like all other ports of the Pixel Launcher, it did not work on Knox (Secure Folder) enabled phones: App crashed, app drawer was blank. However, the source code was available as Android Studio project and I could debug the code ... and managed to add two lines that made it work on my S8.
You got no idea how happy I am right now.
I'm sure AmirZ will add the two lines to the project together with other bug fixes within the next few days. If you don't wanna wait, try my version, available at
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1wrGoe5e9-EWlF5SVUzMDFoOHM
Update: AmirZ added this fix in version 1.3. Head over to Reddit to download the apk / sources.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/6gn8f9/rootless_pixel_launcher_port/
Make sure you uninstall this and any other Pixel launchers before installing the Launcher3.
Awesome ! was looking for this for so long ! Thank you !
If you can do it, I have two requests.
1. Could you change the accents to pixel blue ? (The slider on the right when you open app drawer)
2. Can the background on the app launcher be changed to dark / black ? I think that just works and looks better on the S8
The color was already changed in the version 1.2 on Reddit (but does not include the Knox compatibility yet). I'd hope that 1.3 does include my bug fix.
Someone really need to keep this updated, implement Android O sources, etc. This will not be me though since I have no clue what powerful magic AmirZ used to get the pixel launcher / google now working in non root. I'm terribly unqualified to do any real development on that ^^

Yes. I'm fairly certain this all is based on AmirZ's hack and we will see many more launchers adding the Now pane.
I'd bet so. Good stuff either way!

The latest git versions by AmirZ do work with Knox. You need to make sure to remove all previously installed Pixel launchers (select another launcher as standard before uninstalling all of them) and then install
https://github.com/amirzaidi/Launcher3/releases/tag/Pixel-v1.4
If it force closes in launch, just delete all cache and app data for Launcher3 from the settings. It should work. My Knox fix was implemented in version 1.3.

Awesome appreciate the update! I don't think i tried the latest thanks
thanks for that, it runs very smooth and no issues. the only thing I'd like is to be able to make the icons a bit smaller. Is that possible at all?
Dude this is awesome thank you!
There is a bug (or feature) that prevents proper AMOLED power savings on the top of the launcher. You will notice that while applying any background which is black up top (which AMOLED should turn off) there is still active pixels (in a dark room you can see this as a thin bar on top of the screen - kind of like light bleed). I have notified AmirZ of the issue and hopefully he can fix it.
if this launcher can accept icon packs then it would be perfect, so I can theme over the stock touchwiz icons!

OP6 + Android P + Nova = no new recent app manmagement

Just installed the new P release and after switching to Nova launcher notice that the new recent management feature is not there. Odd. Is there a way to add the new style to Nova or do we have to wait for developer to do so?

Do not disable the OOS launcher
I tried that but then it shows both recents app managers....
So, freezing the OP launcher brings back the previous Oreo style recent apps view... trying... it does [emoji2]
Not sure what the fascination with Nova is. Lawnchair, Action Launcher & the OnePlus launcher are all as good or better if you're looking for an AOSP feel.
Personally I just use the OnePlus launcher, and sometimes Lawnchair.
Well, that's why there are many launchers... one uses the one with the features one wants and needs.. Nova does a great job for me.

The customisation in Nova Launcher, gestures, swipe etc is not fully present in the other launchers you mention, and as for ASOP "feel" you can make Nove look however you like.

op6 beta 6 new gesture aminations

New gesture aminations its feels phone is slow like syrup. I hope it can be turned off soon
Even worse if you use rootless luncher
Works quite well for me. The animation is just as fast, its just different, some people will like it, some wont. But personally, i think, with a little tweaking in further updates, the animation will look very good. They're trying to mimics the iphone app closing animation i think.
No prob here... Using stock launcher really smooth animations... updated from stable...
I'm fine with the animations except the super slow (maybe twice as slow?) home gesture animation... Any idea how to disable or change it? I know I can turn off animations under accessibility options... But I just want the home swipe to be immediate not change everything else.

You could also freeze the OnePlus Launcher if your using a different one. That will give you the Oreo recents.

This worked before the new gesture is implemented. Now if you freeze the OP Launcher, the Oreo recents will only show when you use navigation bar. The gesture will do nothing when you try to swipe "home"..
