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.

On third party launchers its bugged as hell. Phone feels cheap and laggy
Is there a way to have the old ones? These are longer and more similar to the iOS ones, what a useless change...

It's not a system thing? Anyway I'm using nova so it shouldn't affect it, or it does anyway...?

Oh it does, if you install OnePlus launcher 2.5 you will get oreo recents... If you uninstall completely OnePlus launcher you will lose your multitasking screen lol
When i was on ob5 i installed the new OnePlus launcher and i got the new gesture, so yes, it may work
I use nova and it's bugged as hell, OnePlus made a mistake if they trying to force us to use their launcher

Problem solved changing "animation time" in développer options. I've set it to 0.5, but you can put it off too.
(I'm French so I'm not sure if "animation time" is the exact terms

I just hope Nova somehow implements proper animations for this. Or maybe someone will make a Magisk mod or something.

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"..

I tried searching for this and didn't find it, and I'm really curious about it.
Is it possible for the swipe left to google now (which looks incredibly smooth in the KitKat videos) to be implemented into launchers such as nova and apex? Or is that going to be a stock launcher only thing?
Just to clarify, I'm asking if a future version of Nova/apex will be able to copycat this design, not just implement another gesture that opens the google now app. The beauty of these launchers now is that they appear very similar to aosp, but they have many more features. Will that no longer be possible after this change?
Nova (paid) already has gestures that you can set to launch any app. There are 9 gestures although swipe left isn't one of them - not that it matters

Right, I guess that is one option, but it is more jarring to switch to a totally different app than the swipe gesture that it looks like KItKat has. That seem so fluid, almost like it's just another home screen.

From what I was reading, I believe that in 4.4 it actually IS another screen. I mean it's not just that the app is hidden in the background and uncovered by a gesture, it is an option to have google now to take up a page in the layout.

Nova right now cant do anything like the google launcher for kk. When you swipe right there is an actual google now home page.

It sure is first you've got too activate Google now its in the Google search settings somewhere

i really hope that nova will implement this and all the other cool stuff from the new kk launcher... something like a more customizable stock launcher
The google launcher is basically an extension of the Google search app. Kind of like Facebook home. I doubt nova will be able to integrate this unless the build it themselves into nova. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013...e-kitkats-primary-interface-is-google-search/

I suppose an app like GMD gestures could help you achieve the same effect

I think it would be cool if you can swipe left to any app of your choice, even if the app has to go on pause.

Remove what? The launcher? You can just install Apex launcher and use that instead if you wanted. If you really wanted to remove it you will need to uninstall it through titanium backup, but I wouldn't recommend that.

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

Left swipe. Enough said.
Can't live without the pixel launcher no more, and the speed it adds to the p20 pro is superb.
Have been through pretty much every launcher and this adds to a better user experience.
The version i'm using is P-4623511 -modded-5.2.0

Let me know if you want the titanium restore file.

use 5.3 versiom, it works smooth till now, do you feel any improvements in battery life?
Any tips and tricks you recommend for this launcher?
New launcher now in OP
New features:
Theming
Gestures
Optimisations

I'd say use swap torpedo to eliminate system lag in general.

You have to manually give all permissions before opening for the fist time.

The link in the op works on non rooted handsets (it did on mine anyway!)
Be sure to give the app all available permissions BEFORE you run it for the first time or it will crash.

How are you guys getting this to work? I installed Launcher3-aosp-optimized.apk then updated the permissions but I can't run it. I would have expected to just press the home button and it would ask which launcher I want to use but that doesn't happen.

In the settings app search for 'Default Apps' then select Launcher3 from the 'Launcher' option.

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.
I like the stock OnePlus launcher but looking for suggestions for other launchers. I'm not crazy about the OnePlus Shelf and miss my Google feed on the side (though other suggestions are ok too).
install pixel launcher if you want the google feed on the left back
You can also installed Nova launcher with Nova companion to get the Google feed on the side.
Hyperion Launcher seems to work well
Lawnchair V2, basically a port of the pixel launcher with a ton of features.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/deletescape/lawnchair/
Nova launcher with google companion!
Nova, it's the only option. It does and had everything.
Nova Prime...
ADW. I switched to this from Nova years ago and will never go back.
Nova FTW
Nova is and has been the best for years...just get it and support it with Nova prime.
If you want simplicity and awesome performance, get the previously mentioned Lawnchair v2 from APK Mirror. If you want features, you can't beat Nova. I switch between them often.
I love Action Launcher too, my only issue is that it lost some of its uniqueness as it's matured but it has some cool features. I also really respect the dev.
I am using CPL (custom pixel launcher). Nova launcher > Eevie > then this and stuck with it, pretty happy with the minimalist look. Has enough things to tweak I still haven't tried everything
