NOTE: Samsung has confirmed the Android Pie update for Galaxy J7 (2017), so you'll get all Pie apps when the update is completed.
This post will no longer be updated since I'm not using this device anymore.
You can still try to update the compatible apps to newer versions if they are available (maybe they could work).
Don't expect incompatible apps to install in the future, unless until the Pie update.
All apps listed are installable as normal apks, without needing root or recovery.
Compatible apps:
Samsung Internet Browser 9.0.01.45 - https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...msung-internet-for-android-9-0-01-45-release/
Some previous versions had a bug and couldn't download anything properly, but it has been fixed in this version

Samsung Experience Home 10.0.00.55 beta - https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...rience-home-touchwiz-home-10-0-00-55-release/
You'll need to clone the app (read notes below), install the cloned app AND SET IT AS THE DEFAULT LAUNCHER (if this is not done it won't work). It may crash sometimes.
Incompatible apps:
Samsung Gallery
Samsung Messages
Samsung Phone
Always On Display
Samsung Game Launcher
Samsung Calendar
Samsung Finder
To clone an app:
You'll need to install App Cloner: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/applisto/app-cloner/
Open App Cloner.
Go to the folder icon on the top left corner.
Click on the round + icon that has appeared on the bottom right corner and select "From a file".
Find the APK you donwloaded and open it. It may take a few minutes.
Once it is open, click the tick (✓) icon and wait a couple of minutes.
Install the app.
This process doesn't mean that you can install anything. If the app is not compatible due to the architecture or Android version required, or the cloned app crashes, you can't make anything to solve it.

Hello all
I have installed Samsung home experience 10.0.00.55
By Appcloner and I made it the default app for my device so far I have not had any problem except that the shortcuts on the home screen (below) are without names. The option to hide the application when you press and hold an application that has not been added.
-Added option (app info) again (not in version Oreo 8.1 and found in Nougat version 7.0)
-The rotation of the home screen works well except that the icons when turning (landscape) are small and inappropriate.
Note: My device is j730f Oreo 8.1

And maybe you cannot select the Samsung Weather widgets, they are only available in the original launcher (cloning an app makes it different for Android).

Side-Loading BlinkFeed shouldn't be too difficult,but,if it were me,I'd look for something else:
BlinkFeed is powered by NewsRepublic,which is owned by CheetahMobile,the owners of the infamous crapware/snoopware CleanMaster.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/0...s-app-empire-buying-news-republic-57-million/
I was a huge fan of BlinkFeed until CheetahMobile stepped into the picture,haven't used it since......
EDIT:
Just a BTW:
Samsung devices also ship w/CheetahMobile crapware,under the name of "Device Maintenance":
http://www.prnewswire.com/news-rele...mobile-security-and-innovation-300043298.html
I'd at minimum get Package Disabler Pro to freeze/disable this crapware,short of full root/ROMs.

Look in your system apps &/or use a good file browser.
If you still can't see it,try one of the Package Disabler apps in the Google Play Store.
Or,if you want to see some screenshots of what I've disabled on my Note 4/Note5/Note 7,do a search of my posts & you'll stumble across the bloat-spyware.

didnt find any screenshots.
i disabled the samsung launcher a long time ago, it bogs down the phone.
blinkfeed launcher is pretty smooth. if i have to i'll give it up, its just really helpful for school/job.
This mod has been created for ROMs that are as close to stock as possible. When I had my S7, it was specifically tested on SuperStock ROM. Please be aware that this mod may not be compatible with ROMs that offer extensive ROM Control (customisation) options.
Important update
I am no longer in possession of my S7 Edge as I have upgraded to an S8. If this mod remains popular then I will do my best to provide updates for it, however they will not be as frequent. I am fully reliant on you guys for testing as I don’t have a rooted device now to even test the install scripts (syntax errors), let alone the app updates. Thanks for your understanding!
ROOT USERS ONLY
If you are not currently rooted and are considering rooting in order to flash this zip, I’d strongly advise against it. You will likely lose more than you will gain (knox 0x1, secure folder broken, s health restrictions etc). If you are rooted, give it a try! Just don't forget to take a backup first as this is a new project and sometimes things are a little unpredictable across different ROMs / bases.
Please make sure to take a full TWRP backup before flashing this mod.
Help me make this better!
All feedback is appreciated. Even if you just want to stop by to say thanks, it'd go a long way
SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT!
Feel free to post a screenshot to show off your latest style with the new additions.

If you guys appreciate my work and would like to donate, please click the button below. Anything at all is greatly appreciated.

Changelog
V2.2: AQG5 files extracted from firmware and repacked (as opposed to copying from my S8). Updated S7 files to DQFM.
V2.1: Added Bixby although this hasn't been tested. S8 apps and system apps updated to AQG5. S7 AOD, Camera and Settings updated to DQFM. Calculator, Email, S Health, Voice Recorder updated separately through APK Mirror to the latest version available for my S8.
V2.0: Selected S7 & S8 files updated to DQF7/AQF7. Selection of base files including contacts, calculator, calendar etc. updated with newer versions from APKMirror. Phone apks (e.g. SamsungInCallUI) will remain as the base versions as updating them manually seems to cause fcs. SecSettings2 and SamsungCamera6 (S8 icons) updated with versions from the new bases. Also moved these to a specific ‘mods’ folder to prevent errors by myself in future.
V1.9.9: Fixed AOD select boxes. Sorry!
V1.9.8: Updated Device Maintenance, Photo Editor, Messages, Gallery, TouchwizHome. Added Samsung TTS, Voice Assistant. Altered Aroma progress bar. S7/S8 AOD is now a select option with S7 selected by default. Made wiping cache / dalvik cache optional. Spread Aroma options over multiple pages.
V1.9.7: Removed S-Voice rollback as no longer necessary. Re-did Settings and Camera apks. Added options for S8 AOD and S7 AOD (revert purposes), Re-added Smart Select although it only installs now with the S8 AOD selection. Moved fixes section to the start of the upgrade script.
V1.9.6: Added updated S Voice & S Music. Removed Smart Select Edge and Clipboard Edge as they don't currently work without further modifications. These will uninstall as part of the install process Thanks to @EasyAndroidPro for reporting the issue w/ Clipboard Edge.
V1.9.5: Updated Edge Panel, Finder, Messaging, MmsService, MsgCommService, Smart Manager, TouchWiz, Samsung Calendar, Video Editor Lite, Weather, Weather Widget.
V1.9.4: Categorised Aroma to make it a little easier to make selections. Added Slow Motion. Added remaining different qmg/bmp files from SamsungCamera7 to SamsungCamera6 (rather than just icon). Added further S8 media files (ringtones, notifications etc).
V1.9.3: Existing users of V1.9.2 do not need to upgrade. Improved the unlock unit conversion method to improve compatibility and reduce likelyhood of issues cropping up. More details.
V1.9.2: Fixed S Voice. Added S8 Boot/Shutdown animations. 'Fixes' folder deodexed to prevent issues.
V1.91: Fixed install script to remove old contacts folder (SamsungContacts80), Downgrade S Voice, Deodexed Settings and Camera to resolve fcs.

V1.7 - Camera properly fixed (hopefully!!). Added S8 Apps Edge Panel.
V1.6_OTA1: Included cameradata folder, as well as /vendor/lib(+64)/libsecimaging.so libs. Hopefully this should stop fcs by people on other bases.
V1.6: Altered Aroma progress bar. Updated Clock, Contacts, Phone (incallui), Touchwiz. Added Finder v7.
V1.5: Merged 1.4.1 + 1.4.1 OTA 1 and implemented Aroma. Fixed voice recorder in install script and added SmartManager_v5 / SmartManager_v5_DeviceSecurity.
V1.4.1: Added S8 Camera icons (request of @robhug).

Uploading as we speak.
Phone and contacts updated. Places isn't working atm but I'm not sure if that's fed from Bixby or not so may be out of luck. Will have to do more digging.
Just as I finish uploading. Damn it.
V1.2 coming.
Edit: it's live in OP
Does it matter what carrier you're on to flash this? I'm on Sprint and rooted but don't want to jack up my Phone and Contacts apps if incompatible.

Being completely honest mate, I'm not sure... I wouldn't have thought so as I can't imagine carriers would have specific contact and phone APKs on the S8 (although I could be wrong). If anything, you'd just need to make sure you were just using the correct CSC for your carrier. E.g. I have to use a BTU or EVR CSC to get my Wi-Fi calling working, but that's a carrier requirement it would seem (and that applies to the S7 phone app too).
I have only been able to test this on my UK S7E on EE (BTU firmware) and I have yet to receive any feedback good or back as to whether it works properly for people on different devices (e.g. S7, S7E) or different carriers.
If you are willing to give it a try, I'd recommend a full TWRP just in case.. At least if they don't work out for you, you can immediately put your phone straight back to how it was before flashing the zip.
V1.3 Uploading - Rolling back Samsung Video Player to S7 version. Issues with casting. Starting messing with /system/framework/allshare.jar but not worth the time/effort. Newer version lets video player cast but not music player and the opposite is true of the older version.
Edit: V1.3 is live in OP. Apologies for that... didn't foresee the video issue.
Just tried your pack and got network not registered error
Restored my nandroid backup and nothing

Thanks for the feedback and I'm sorry that you had issues. I'll see what I can find out. I've adjusted the instructions to include a full TWRP backup.
What is your CSC? I'd like to try with the same setup as you.
Thanks again
Edit: I just flashed Superman Rom with super kernel and on my device it works, minus the places feature in the phone app.. Otherwise fine. If you could also confirm your phone model and even a logcat if you had time I'd be eternally grateful.
Comes with aroma installer? So we can choose apk that we want only
#Plus the kernel etc etc, will become a cusrom. Let's bro, I'm so glad
It doesn't at the moment mate but that's a fantastic idea.
I'll work on that soon. Have a busy day ahead of me today but I'll look into aroma very soon.
Would you mind testing this version at all for me? Just full backup and restore when done if you like? I'm trying to get an idea of who this is actually working for.. Other than myself lol
---
Edit: V1.4 uploading to remove stock DQD7 Samsung Video Player from zip... just in case anybody is on an older firmware as it could cause fcs.
Please let me know if you have a successful install people and for what device and CSC version. No bragging rights, just want to know if it doesn't work for some of you guys. Can only test myself on my G935F.

I think it's more likely linked to the CSC mate as it works for me when using the latest BTU CSC (see attached), but not for the CSC flashed by the selection utility. Maybe even Kernel related. Will do some experimenting later.

I have put together a test BTU CSC for you. Through some testing, it would seem that the CSCs contained within the CSC Selection Utility do not accommodate for the Place tab within the Phone app.
https://mega.nz/#!ZfRAQZzb!GzvFwwauiiKmo0A_I-GlhokWHuFGCSAJ4EOq3WRui78
Would you mind trying it?
To try it out:
Backup /system in TWRP
Flash zip
Reboot
Check places (tap the location icon whilst it's searching. Speeds it up a bit.)
If you wish to quickly restore your previous CSC:
Wipe /system in TWRP
Restore /system

So great, like you it's not really the s8 features that I love but the new design and icons
Thanks a lot just a question, there is no FC on gallery , like when we download new s8 gallery from apk mirror ?
And a little thing that would be great, but not sure if it's possible, to add the s7 camera, just the stock one but just with the new s8 icon?
Thanks and have a nice day

No there is no fc on the gallery atm as I have yet to include the newer photo editor APKs, so they don't show any updates on the galaxy app store. There were fixes available for the S8 photo editor but as I say, one of the things I've not got to yet. Open to requests as it's hard to think of other things to bring across lol.
Will investigate the icon for the camera

My launcher is a close to AOSP launcher that only changes the necessary code to allow for small extensions and backporting to older Android versions. If you want a more feature packed launcher use Nova, Action or Lawnchair. I focus on simplicity and rock solid stability. If you do not agree with that and would rather have experimental features, you are in the wrong thread.

Nice!
Just tried this on my OnePlus 3 and I can confirm that it works amazingly fast! Thanks for all the hard work. Cheers!

cursor bug
large cursor when typing to search apps in app drawer. on miui8
I am having issues installing this on a Nexus 6P with the latest Android O developer preview installed. Installation progress bar freezes at about the 90% mark and the installation fails. Has anyone been able to successfully install this on a device running the O developer preview?

Ended up wiping and starting fresh with the O developer preview. After doing so, Launcher3 installed without issue. Is there any way to get the Pixel icons working with this? I downloaded the Pixel icons for 7.1.2 from apk mirror, but it doesn't seem to have taken. Thanks.
Working great on LG Aristo, Suggestion: icon pack support.
Please either add pixel icons or icon pack support. Would make this the best launcher ever!!!
Its like dream come true for me... using it on my Galaxy S8... But I have two requests and an issue:
1. could your please support pixel exclusive automatic round icons for supported apps... it is possible as Action Launcher 3 has this feature with Round Icon Option on non rooted phone.
2. Is it possible to overwrite app closing animation like stock android (slide down). this feature is available in Nova Launcher through "Reveal App Animation". I don't like the default zoom out closing app animation of my Galaxy S8.
3. Check the screenshot: the Navigation bar color is muted .. not white .. gray color.. this is related to Poor Samsung design... Nova launcher has fixed the issue... But each and every other 3rd party launcher has same problem.. kindly look into the matter..! Thanks..

Thank you.... Much appreciated work...
Thanks for share.. keep the good work continues..
Thank you for ur work but thanks even more for making a thread here on XDA!
Fix status bar
https://github.com/amirzaidi/Launcher3/releases/tag/Pixel-v1.3
- Possibly fixed Samsung's Secure Folder and MIUI from causing crashes
- Updated the requested Google Now overlay version from v0 to v5, like the O Pixel Launcher
- (EXTREMELY EXPERIMENTAL) added an entire library of obfuscated code to get the app shortcut row working
- Added a toggle for the app shortcuts, so you can disable them if they do not work properly
- Force the Pixel colours throughout the app, including the widgets and preferences
There is also a version without the entire app suggestions library in it, if it causes any problems you should try that one.
Anyway to get round icons without needing to change systemui or have root access ?
:good: Lawnchair is amazing!!! Thank you very much!

Google crashes? Oh man, that's a new thing I've never heard before. Only way I can get that to happen is in an emulator with a broken Google app variant. Is your G App up to date?
Hey, thanks a lot for your launcher, looks dope !
Just to let you know it has been featured on the biggest French - Android website today, so your Github might receive a bit more traffic
On a side note : I've tried it on my Galaxy S8, and I was not able to get the weather to show, irregardless of the number of time I've pulled down the cards to refresh google feed.
Do you happen to have an idea on how I could fix it ?
Also on a side-side note, would you implement icon support into it ? As with samsung ROMs we have the ugly looking icons instead of rounded/pixel ones.
After i updated my phone to android 9 game launcher doesnt work as good as before
When i would use the built in recorder feature and swiped down to see notifications and stuff iit would get captured
But after pie they are being showed as if this was just a cheap screen recorder from play store
I know that the app has been updated a couple of times but it doesnt appear on galaxy apps and when i try to install the latest version from apkmirror it keeps saying app not installed
How can i install the latest version?
Android 10 Launcher for Android 9.0+
Google has made an interesting change on Pie release: moving the recents app screen, along with the (was new) swipe up gesture to the stock launcher. Following that change, the Lawnchair team has released the QuickSwitch Magisk Module which allows you to change the "stock" launcher to a supported one that you prefer.
So let's get to the point. A week ago Google has released Android 10 along with its new, improved gesture navigation. It's much better than the gestures on Android Pie. Today, I'm happy to announce that you can get the new gesture navigation on Android Pie too with this port and the QuickSwitch Magisk Module.
Features
Video preview
- Clean stock Launcher3 base
- Android Q gesture navigation
- Swipe down for notification drawer
- Dark theme
- Google Feed (dark theme now included), YAY!
- Simple icon packs support (no dynamic icons/icon masking)
Installation
1. Install the QuickSwitch Magisk Module
2. Download and install the Launcher APK
3. Open the QuickSwitch app, select the launcher and reboot
4. Set it as the default launcher
5. Open home settings, select "Developer options" and then enable gestures in there
Download
Unified build

- View attachment Q_Launcher3-v1.2-debug.apk
For Android Pie

For Android 10
- View attachment Q_Launcher3-10-v1.1-debug.apk
- View attachment Q_Launcher3-10-debug.apk
Notes:
- This launcher requires the QuickSwitch Magisk Module to function properly. It should work as a normal launcher alone but that's untested.
- Unfortunately, the back gesture is a part os SystemUI and can't be achieved in this port, but you can use apps such as Fluid NG to replicate it.

Please press thanks if you like this.
Thank you, really nice!
It's not working for me. I've done all the steps. The name of the launcher linked here is "Quickstep" in my default apps settings. And choosing that makes it so I can't even close any app, it just reopens the app immediately. (like there is no home screen).
And I guess you don't mean the lawnchair settings? I thought that at first but there is no gestures option in the developer settings in lawnchair (latest beta).
Working great in Havoc 2.8 This should be your new grand project. I'm using lawnchair 2 and that's awesome.
Works flawlessly on my Xperia Z3 Carbon 7.0 Pie.
It would be nice with a dark background option.
Nice work, mate.
Would be great if you add this in lawnchair

In addition to being selected in QuickSwitch, this launcher needs to be set as the default home app as well for the gestures to work.

That’s being worked on. Will come later in a few months.
Is quickswitch currently working on stock Android 10 rooted? And would following the steps and installing your debug launcher for Q still allow new Android 10 gestures to work?

Although untested, it should work as this launcher is the same one that stock Android 10 provides with only a few changes. Just make sure you download the one for Android 10 and it should be fine.

Awesome, there is no need to uninstall the original pixel launcher correct? And also great work!! You have done fantastic work over the years, the modded community wouldn't be the same without you!

Does the Pixel launcher from Android 10 come with new gesture animations, and are you planning to port it?
Also, for the people who have been using this launcher, what is your method of replicating Android 10's Navigation bar? I've tried Fluid NG and the Home button doesn't seem to work when Navigation bar is hidden. I'm on Xperia X running Lineage OS 16 (9.0).

Yeah, as I said, when I choose it as my launcher, it doesn't work at all. The phone behaves like there's no homescreen. When I try to exit settings, or any app at all, it just reopens that app immediately. It closes the app, shows an empty wallpaper and then opens the app within 1/10 of a second.
The download link says error 410

try download with pc instead
No dark theme ?
I got the boot script failed error in on QuickSwitch Android 10
This is so good. The animations are smooth and work as intended.
I'd be great if google now page can be added to the left.
And also, the bottom google search bar is also missing. Hope that gets added too!
Overall first impressions, a fantastic port!!
Can this work on unrooted device

Unrooted devices have no means to change Android's quickstep provider, which means you are stuck with default recents provider and navigation gestures.
Which, you know, defeats the purpose.
When I try to select is as the quickstep provider on OOS OB1 Q then I get an error message "Error: Boot script failled"
