DEFAULT THEMES hack
If you use the stock Android keyboard, which is also available in the Play Store, you can change the look and feel of the keyboard. Google Keyboard has a few themes you can choose, but they're not available in the settings.
Here's a quick way to pick a different theme, assuming your device runs Android 4.0 or later:
1. you first need an application that lets you create shortcuts to app activities. Some apps that let you do that: Nova Launcher and Apex Launcher, probably the best Android launchers. The following instructions assume you've installed Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher, but you can also use simple apps like Activity Getter.
2. long press the homescreen and pick "shortcuts" and then "activities".
3. scroll to the Google Keyboard entry, expand the list of activities and pick "Android keyboard debug settings".
4. you'll create a shortcut for this activity. Tap the new shortcut and you should see this settings page:
5. tap "Keyboard theme" and pick one of the themes: Basic, Basic (High Contrast), Stone (normal), Stone (bold), Gingerbread. IceCreamSandwich is the default theme.
6. use the shortcut you've created to change the theme.
This site lets you build custom launcher apps for sideloaded apps. Its for those who use the default leanback launcher and dont like the sideload launcher.

Its beta.
The built app launches the desired app and then terminate itself, it needs no permissions.
Awesome find

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.

is there a way of having an icon / shortcut for bixby....i have disabled the side button....but i'd like to have an icon somewhere to go in and play with it every now and then.
also this could be useful on a custom rom with bixby where the hardware just doesnt have the button on the side like on the S6 or the S7 that got the android 7 and a ported s8/note8 rom
Yes you can use a app to have a activities shortcut /widget. Nova launcher as the ability to do this built into it.
Also many apps on the Playstore do the same example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.moreshortcuts. Just place shortcut on your home screen and choose your activity ie; Bixby Home .
You can also use gesture apps to do the same thing again Nova Launcher also as this built in.
Hey does anyone have a copy/modified copy of the Moto App Launcher to use icon packs? Although I like Lawnchair, I cannot use it on this new phone because I like having the app drawer on the recent apps screen. Thanks!
I too insist on having a home screen with the app drawer icon. I do not like the "My Home screen is my app drawer" aka (Easy Home) or the "swipe up for apps" method.
The first thing I did with my Moto g7 was search Google for; and then install the "Latest Nova Launcher Pro/Mod apk" which corrected that problem and allows for major customizations, ffor starters, the app drawer option, with scroll direction choices, basic launcher themes and icon packs, fonts and colors and size modifications, search bar options, folder creation with all features listed above just for the folders, app animations and transition's, etc etc etc. If you can think it or want something different then the standard issue there is more then likely a feature to modify it.
I have also had success with Apex Launcher. Just remember when looking to download ANY type of app at all, be sure to search GOOGLE for the "pro/paid/full/premium" and sometimes "mod" versions of the Apps .apk files, Not those ad infested and half the feature locked versions that come from the PlayStore.
