Thanks for your support. Please test it more and let me know if there're any issues.
thanks i will test for three days for any bugs on htc one
This is huge
This is the first time I test a launcher and it is so effective and exceeds the best like nova or apex
Thanks
Edit: one hour after, high consumption 100 mb and it will up 180MB and battery drain

It's designed to use any much ram as it's available (i.e. aggressive/persistent mode in other launcher) by keeping things in memory so that things run smoothly. If other apps need memory, the launcher will release the memory for other apps.
Which device do you have? The launcher will use the memory if your device has lots of free memory.
Is there a way to remove the Google search bar from the top of every homepage? I know that's stock kitkat but it's a real waste of space.
In other respects though, this is a very nice launcher.
Edit:
I've worked it out. Under launcher settings-homescreen-search bar I've selected "Invisible" & the search bar not only disappears but the rest of the homescreen expands into the vacant space.
I'm going to see how I get on with Better Launcher as my default launcher for a few days.

Awesome! Please remove elasticity/bounce in home screens and drawer and it's perfect! By far the best kitkat launcher I've seen.

Clean look, awesome theme support. Animations are wicked and customizations from the next level.
Only thing that bothers me is that the homescreen animation lags, no idea why. The app drawer is insanely smooth.
Using it on my Xperia P with Carbon Rom.
Great launcher with lots of customization. There is some lag with the gestures and when you press the menu button while at app drawer, the regular kitkat settings appears behind the apps. Please remove the bounce animation at homescreen and app drawer screens
after one day - it's like hybrid between Google launcher and ADW launcher it's laggy not smooth at all
but 100% themes supports :angel:
i prefer LAUNCHER 3 FROM cm11 :silly:
Awesome start for a beta! Beats the rest out there kitkat wise.

I have nexus 5 so I have enough memory
Yes this is what I have seen and finally memory is controlled
Congratulation for this first launcher to be as fast
But personally I miss them option as :
- backup widget
- drawer icon replaceable by another app in dock
- swip up/down is too long to execute (in nova is perfect)
- white effect of the transition hurts the eyes
- and the battery consumption is too high
So after a couple of days I'm really liking this launcher. It's like an updated version of my old favorite Holo Launcher. I couldn't live without the 1x1 widgets in the dock that Holo & Better Launcher give me. Holo Notifier even works with it.
I've had no issues with it at all. No force closes, no undue battery drain. For the time being it's a keeper.
I do have one request for the next update. Can we have custom tabs in the app drawer please?

Nice launcher. but I have some issues
- It take to long to make a gesture.
- I can't turn off the bounce effect.

The launcher doesn't do anything when it's not visible, it certainly not the source of the battery drain issue.

Is this different from the earlier Blinq launcher??? I saw that the other thread is closed for comments.
Anyway looks promising. Had tried the old one when it was first launched.
Just for information, can you tell me what is the RAM Consumption of this launcher? Looking forward to trying this,
Seems great I installed today it's very nice and great customisation thank you for your work.
I would like to request though if I may for an option to keep the launcher in memory as I'm getting a few redraws and an auto hide option for the dock as it keeps popping back up after leaving the home screen, I'm using swipe up to toggle it. thanks again.

It is the same Blinq launcher but a lot has changed since the initial release. The other thread is closed because the one who was maintaining that thread was unable to do it anymore for some reason, so I took over.
About RAM consumption, it uses pretty low resources, it doesnt take more than 20mb on an average device.

Glad you're liking it.
We'll see what we can do about keeping it in memory. Btw, what device are you using ?
Regarding dock hide option, we're making it better, also we're adding few additional dock options. So this issue will be fixed in next update for sure.
I'm using a HTC m8, and yes i like it a lot it's like gnl with xgels but without the need for xposed I am very grateful for this as I don't use xposed any more and this launcher has most of it anyway.
Thank you again great work.
Do we have to have google now launcher already installed, or can we just install this. Looks very nice

I tried the Launcher yesterday. It is an interesting launcher with great support for gestures. It is very smooth and responsive and It might take a little time to get used to. But for the time being,few missing features turned me off:
1. Custom Icon Sizing (in %)is not supported. I like smaller icons and without it the desktop and drawer seems gaudy.
2. Vertical Scrolling Absent. I prefer it.
3. SMS Badges requires Pro/Premium.
4. Multiple Dock Pages and ability to scale Dock Icons to a different size.
The feature list may be too much but I thought it could give an idea for you to develop.
Thanks for the Launcher. Will be using it sparingly till i get a feel for it.

Tried a lot of launchers but settled on this as this is the most well performing launcher and has all the required features without addition of anything extra that would make it slow. Kudos to the developer.

Only sending this for your information; I'm not really concerned at this time.
Thanks!
Hii,
I recently installed this launcher and its working absolutely fine.
But there is one issue if i long press on an icon and click on edit button the launcher crashes.
2. Can you please add search bar animation i want to say same animation as pixel 2 launcher when you tap on search bar.
Download Lean Launcher from the Google Play Store
If you prefer the debug version, no worries, you can download it from Github, here. Look for "LeanLauncher-1.0.0-5-play-debug.apk"!

Huge thanks for the excellent work of Amir, without his work, I don't think Lean Launcher would have been born.
Full feature list:
Notification dots

Dynamic icons on supported devices

Google Now
- only for debug builds for now

Edit apps

- change icon shapes
- support
Other
- allow home screen rotation
- disable spring animation
- toggle navigation bar transparency
- lock your desktop to prevent accidental changes
- double tap to lock
What has happened since 0.3.0?
First of all, I wanted to create two companion apps, one for At A Glance (this is ready), one for Google Now. Sadly, so far all of my implementations sucked for one reason or another, so I still need time for that. If you can't live without Google Now, I suggest you to use the debug build from Github. If you don't really care, use the Play Store version.
But than, Amir released version 3.2 of Rootless Pixel Launcher, so I changed my mind: rebase Lean to make use of 3.2, and implement a few more requested feature. Look at the changelog, I think it looks nice.
What's next?
I have my eyes on two things:
stabilization, this is the most important. I have now included crash reporting in the builds, so I can monitor if I need to act on something.
proper implementation of Google Now companion app.
TL;DR: Download Lean Launcher from the Google Play Store!
This launcher runs flawlessly on my Pixel 2XL! Just one question - is there a way to turn off at a glance? The option in Lean setting is grey so I cant turn it off. I'm using the debug version 1.0.0-5 from github (the google now page works perfectly btw)
Thanks! I like that icon size can be changed and also the double tap to lock!

This is a mishap from my side, in the next version, you will be able to turn it off!
It seems at a glance weather is not working in the debug version even after installing and launching the companion app...
Running playstore version, everything ok till now. Thnx!
Cheers
Sent from my Google Pixel using XDA Labs
That's weird, it should pick up messages from the Google app sooner or later. Once it only started to work for me after I launched the Google app manually, than launching the companion app one more time. Does that maybe help?
Really loving the 0.3.0 version. I have a request. Is it possible to turn off the scroll bar in the app drawer? Scroll bar is really messing up the immersive experience for me. May an option to toggle in the settings.
Thank you for lean launcher
Awesome launcher smooth! My weather doesn't show, any work around?
Hi,
Your Pixel launcher runs really smooth on my Note 8 (and I've tried others Pixel launcher less smooth for me), great work!
I love the options already present, maybe an option to change per app icon, but maybe not a good idea to clutter your launcher with a ton of options and loose the performance...
I prefer stability and performance instead of having options slowing down the launcher.
keep up the good work and thanks again! :good::good::good:
@Anand durai: I will see about that, not yet sure.
@fullmetal509: For the weather to show, you need to install a companion app, which you can download here. After installing it, launch it once, and then it should start to receive and forward messages from the Google app to Lean Launcher!
@Manson79: actually, per app icon change is planned for the future
the Google Now page not changing dark mode
Google now page looks like old design compared to Rootless Pixel Launcher
I can't install the LeanGlance APK, it just keeps saying the package is corrupt. I am running the debug version and I've tried using older versions but nothing seems to work. I'm using an S8+, if that's significant.

Do you have any other Pixel Launcher variant installed? If yes, you will have to uninstall that first, since the companion app has to have the same package name in order for it to be able to receive and forward messages from the Google app!
Love the app
Would love the ability to change the app drawer to transparent an grid sizes
the playstore version is really smooth
Have you considered making a toggle to have a transparent dock, preferably rounded edges just liket the Android P launcher ?
Feature request: to be able to move the dock search bar up to the top of the home screen like in pic attached but obviously with the actual Google search bar, I'm just using a widget from playstore.
Thanks for this launcher I'm using it as my daily driver ?

A perfect compromise between the too simple stock Android launcher and the too "complicated" Nova launcher !

Been using this since yesterday and I must say it is damn well smooth added with flux white substratum theme it's looking sweet! hope you can add Android P like dock and other P launcher features in the future. Keep it up! good work and thank you

You can set the dock to transparent: Settings > Look & Feel > Hotseat background > Transparent. However, I think you mean translucent, like the P preview launcher is. That is planned, but for now, I'm waiting for Google dropping the latest launcher sources.

P features are planned for later, first Google will have to drop the latest sources for it. After that, I'll most likely rebase to it, and the launcher will have the latest look & feel.
This is just a quick how to: With apps and everything already out there created by you fabulous developers...i just put them together to get a Developer Preview 2 Experience on nearly any phone.
Ive got a Nexus 6P and set out to get the new animations and new app switcher and Nav Bar icons.
Like most i have installed the Newest DP2 Launcher But i wanted the home buttons on the bottom to change. which i was able to compile after some work.
So for a complete setup get these:
- Rootless DP2 Launcher with Icon Support Get Q-4753642.apk - [url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-rootless-pixel-2-launcher-google-t3688393[/URL]
- Android P-Ify via Xposed...needs Xposed installed therefore Root
This will Give you P Animations, P App Switcher, P Rounded Notifications = Amazing!! - [url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xposed-android-p-ify-features-t3764556[/URL]
- App Called SoftKeyz - $1.99 Root - BACK UP YOUR OWN ICONS INSIDE APP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING - [url]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.janis605.softkeyz&hl=en_US[/URL]
Take Attached Home Icon and Upload inside app with out cropping...im not smart enough to get the icon get stretched long enough but its close.
Check out my Screen Shots. PS App Will Default to Tiny Default Icons when Background is White ...just the way it is i guess.
-- I ended up loading a blank app switcher icon for it to get that DP2 effect.
Enjoy if i missed anything i will promptly fix!!
Orrrr we can now snag the XDA Gestures app which pretty much nails what I was looking for. You Can customize the size of the pill and get your basic features.
Maybe I should edit the post to just recommend to grab those?
Apparently I'm alone in wanting this super nerdy Dev Preview feature lol.

Wow, I just did the same thing you did. But I wish I would've seen your post first lol ?*
One tip is that I grabbed a root app called 'Pixel Launcher Mods' from XDA Labs, it essentially adds icon pack support to the Pixel Launcher (something I knew I'd miss from Nova), and was able to load in icons from 'Dark Pixel Icon Pack'.
I'm messing around with Pi substratum theme, but thinking of ditching it all together (it didn't add much and is currently kinda buggy).
Only things I'm missing now are Nova's app launch gestures on app icons, and the double tap on home screen to sleep gesture..
To sum it up:
-XDA's 'Navigation Gesture' app
-'Android P-ify' Xposed module
-Rootless modded dp2 Pixel Launcher
-'Pixel Launcher Mods' app
Thanks for making your post, and let me know if you have questions about my setup @TheYetti1
Ohh sweet man. I'll look into the mods for icon support cuz that's probably the only thing left that could tweak my fun.
Everything else for me runs pretty smooth. The pify is great cuz it gets me the recents switcher. The dark theme and rounded everything is pretty minor but appealing.
I'll look for the pixel mods thing thanks!!
Booo I can't seem to get pixel mods to work. I've got the pixel launcher with mods that gives me a choice of a few generic icon changes just built into the settings. Wonder if that's causing me issues?
