I am running this, on my Galaxy A3.
The only mandatory thing for Good Lock seems to be Marshmallow and TouchWiz.

Well I didnt like it because it messes with my already customized status bar and etc. But the app is good for those who are not as picky as me

It takes a while to get used to it.
It's new so probably they are improving it.

Is your device n9005?

Works OK with Aryamod 6.5, but not multilanguage (just English).
Just installed apk, tested, and unninstaled, no problem at all.

YouTube Kids app icon missing in launcher

as im not in one of those YT Kids app supported regions, i installed the app with APK (from apkmirror.com) and enjoyed it for over a year already.. however, today suddenly i realised that the app icon disappeared in my launcher drawer.. it was there a few hours ago and in between the period i didnt reboot the phone, didnt install or update any app, didnt touch any files in my phone..
i checked "/data/app" directory, and there was the "com.google.android.apps.youtube.kids-1" directory with all files intact.. i tried to re-install the apk and it went without any problem.. and there was a new "/data/app/com.google.android.apps.youtube.kids-2" directory created with all files same as the previous installation.. but the app icon just did not appear in the drawer..
i tried to switch to the stock launcher, and the app icon was still missing..
now im out of ideas for what could go wrong.. any suggestion for me?
tia..

Same thing happend to me (Samsung Galaxy Tab A, Stock 7.0), nu luck with previous versions of Youtube Kids either..

Same here. Galaxy S8. What has happened? Maybe recent Google instant app has something to do with it ?

Hi, same issue here on a Lenovo tablet and Galaxy S7, both running android 7.x. App appears to be gone from the app list and only by installing an app uninstaller i am able to remove it. Same problem when trying to install older versions of the YT Kids. I can install but i can't run it or see it in the app list.
On an older device runing kitkat the icon is still there with no problems, so i would guess this may be a new feature on the google services or so. They may now be enforcing regional limitations. Any info on that?

Unfortunately same thing here. Samsung tab A 2016 !

Same hete, but went here https://kids.youtube.com
Clicked to get it then app store opened he app and was able to enable it

it still redirects to play store, and thus app availability is still subject to regions..

I can only confirm the problem ( Galaxy A5 2017 running Nougat)
Seems like a server side or Nougat upgrade issue.
I have exactly same symptoms. app icon is missing, side-loaded app installs but does not register properly so it does not appear in app list, and can be uninstalled only with third party app (e.g. ES File explorer)
Hope there will be a solution to run YT Kids once again in regions where it's not officially supported.

Hopefully someone can make a modded apk version without a region check.

i dont think the check is done in the app itself, probably its done in the framework..
cos i have not updated the app, and suddenly it went from working to disappearance, so i guess something in the underlying google framework changed..

Okay, so maybe someone knows a simular app. I didn't found one yet, after ours of searching and installing
---------- Post added at 08:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 AM ----------
I installed a lot of different versions of yt kids and sometimes he wil open after installation and after a few second he stopps working. But the icon never apears from two weeks ago. The disapearing happend on the same day by my phone, from my wifes phone and my mother in laws phone?

Yeah, sad Google starts to execute regional restrictions more strictly. :crying:
The latest version 2.28.14 have new logo but won't run although it installs almost fine except no icon.
Therefore you should use 3rd party app to uninstall defunct app (e.g. ES File Explorer).
It seems it's gone for good. Check thread below:

Yes. Downgrade your os to MM and down. And will work. On Nougat it's not working.

I have tested in on 3 devices and its working:
S3 mini - android 4.1 stock - YTKIDS working
Tab 3 8" - android 4.2 stock - YTKIDS working
P8 lite - android 6 stock - YTKIDS working
P9 lite 2017 - android 7 stock - YTKIDS not working
So... Must be something with the Nougat that blocks YouTube kids.

thx ic..

It is firmware related. I have TAB S2 for my daughter with Nougat and on previous version of firmware YK works OK - installed from APK mirror, but updated firmware (just new version - still Nougat 7.0) deletes icon from launcher

So, anyone found a solution to this, same here Samsung galaxy Tab A8 2017, and Note 8
it seems it is because of Android N

[App] [Pixel 2 launcher] [Original-unmodified] [flashable] [user app] [Nougat] [Oreo]

Pixel-2-Launcher apk & flashable zip from Google pixel 2 (either ftom Android Oreo 8.0 or Android Oreo 8.1 DP1)
Flashable zip will enable Google now integration & simple apk will not include Google now integration.
How to..
Flash Pixel-2-Launcher zip from TWRP (as system app)
Or install Pixel-2-Launcher apk as user app.
Download:
From attachments
Any of following
Pixel 2 Launcher from Android Oreo 8.0
Pixel 2 Launcher from Android Oreo 8.1 DP1
Note: All features are working only in android oreo based ROMs. I tested all files in Nougat & Oreo based custom ROMs. Some users are reporting that app is crashing in marshmallow based ROMs. You need to give location permission manually to get weather data as launcher is not asking location permission but by default all permission are set off.
Sources: APKMIRROR
How to uninstall?
Flash Pixel-2-launcher-uninstaller (file from attachment) using TWRP or other custom recovery.
Magisk module of original Pixel 2 launcher for systemless installation is available here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-t3689509
Enjoy!

Screenshots from nougat based custom ROM..

Screenshots from oreo based custom ROM..

Is there any way to get notification count/badges working on this launcher ?

It's same as original. Use it only if original version can't be installed. Like in some custom ROMs. So if original version is working, no need to install modified one.

Reflash current ROM or

Thanks for letting me know.
I only asked because the notification dots were working in the Pixel Launcher 7.1.2.
I have a Nokia 8. I guess I will have to wait for Android O update to get this feature back.

I have the original installed on my current ROM (current unofficial DU for Galaxy Nexus). While I don't have the Oreo-style notifications, it's actually cleaner than the original Pixel Launcher. I will likely swap the flashable version to gain Google Now integration - and I definitely like the cleaner approach this launcher takes compared to the launcher from the original Pixel.

Doesn't work on my Galaxy S8+
It keeps crashing at launch :/
But thanks for sharing !

I actually first saw about the launcher on Android Authority and downloaded this few mins ago.. and now using it?

Not working for me sony xperia Z2 6.1mm
I flashed by recovery

Not working neither in my Blackview R6 (Mediatek chip) with Android 6.
When I open the launcher, it crashes.
But the idea it was good, so, ny other option is continue using the older version Pixel Launcher that works good in my device

Thanks Dr. bathman, Flashable zip works fine on Oneplus one Nougat Tugapower 50.

Well the good news is that Oreo official release is being rolled out. People in the AOSP telegram chat have already started requesting Sammy release the Kernel source so FevaX and co can continue development.
Fingers crossed!

I used black asop theme from playstore. I am running the Alexanda 8.0 rom. (That's where the matrix in the pull down comes from. I also used uzamaki nav icons from vivid nav bars

Guys, tried several times to get substratum to work.
I had it before on beta 6. Without andromeda
Now on crap release I can't get it to work.
System ui crash big time. Even so bad I need to full wipe...
On different roms.
Any step by step again?
Ps.... nice theme... with the pixel 2 launcher. What font ?
