I just rooted and installed magisk. I love everything about the stock launcher except the icons. I love the icon pack on the play store called MaterialOS, so is there a mod to apply that pack to the stock pixel launcher? I saw some modded pixel launchers in magisk but they are not the same as the pixel 3 launcher. I've searched for info on here but haven't found a solution. Thanks for any help!
Just install lawnchair or nova launcher. they have the exact same features as the pixel launcher (and much more). Plus, they have proper icon support. No magisk modules needed.
Lol so I guess that's a no...
Has nova implemented pie recents yet?

The recents menu is set by the OS, not the launcher. If you have pie, you will have pie recents.

Rounded icon are not provided by pixel launcher but by the system itself. If you want rounded icon on launcher, use Nova launcher and icon pack, but round icon like on pixel, which rounded icons are everywhere, It requires framework modding, for the system to use the rounded icon included in the app. There is a guide how to do it on the general Android apps and games thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...able-pixel-launcher-round-icon-t3536267/page6
If you just use a pixel theme from the theme store them apply it the icons will be round on the pixel launcher.
The most recent update to the S8 and S8+ gave us the option to hide the navigation bar, and all is well until Nova Launcher updated their app just a few hours ago, and now the navbar is back in the desktop and I can't find a way to hide it. Isn't there a way to hide it? Damn Nova, fixing things that aren't broke.
It might not happen. There’s a thread on it on Google+. Long and short of it, the Dev decided to go with the TWiz implementation of having the navbar visible in launcher view.

I tought it was somerhing wrong and did a full reset.Nova had autoinstalled and i Just could not understand what was causing the problem with the navbarkeys on the homescreen. I use KLWP and hate the navbarkeys on the homescreen and applauncher. Glad i could Reed this post. I unninstalled Nova and downloaded Nova 5.2 and turned off autoinstaller.Happy to hide ny navbarkeys again..
It's sad that we don't get to have the option for this. I also just uninstalled Nova and reinstalled 5.2.
Suggest you all vent your frustrations at the developer or it'll be stuck that way for good.
Here's another thread on the Nova update & a reply from the developer. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3629965

Action launcher allows you to hide navbar.

You can use BxActions to set the Bixby Button to toggle Full Screen which will hide the statusbar and navbar or you can set it to hide the statusbar and navbar for only the app you're in.

I know the link says beta but I'm pretty sure the ones not labeled beta on that page are stable releases. I downloaded and installed the one dated Jun 6, 2017 and so far so good. Nova launcher shows up when you press on recents, but that's the only difference from the Play Store version, from what I can tell.

If you guys are searching for a alternative to Nova there is Apex Launcher and Apex Launcher Pro. There you still can hide the nav bar and its comparable to Nova in many ways.

It's a request for Pixel Launcher with pixel icons.
I know that pixel launcher is available to download and install but the main problem is round pixel icons and search bar.
I used many custom roms based on AOSP and LOS but the most needed thing is pixel launcher and its icons and there is no option to choose icon pack in pixel launcher.
When i install pixel launcher on any rom but it show the default icon of individual apps instead of pixel icons.
So if any one can port pixel launcher with pixel icons then it would be a great help.....

Not possibe on stock launcher
Maybe with aosp mods ( you will need lsposed)
I just use Nova launcher 8.0.3 beta with Nova Google companion. It's a heck of a lot easier and it lets you hide the notification bar as well.
I use LawnChair as Launcher. It is imho nicer then the stock one and has more features and you can remove the search bar from home screen
I wish they would allow you to do this instead of a third party launcher - the animations in third party launchers are not great compared to stock.

Not sure what you mean by the "animations" but I use Nova Prime and 3 button navigation, and everything works great. I used gesture navigation for awhile but got tired of it a couple of years ago and went back to button navigation and never looked back.

When you swipe away an app it animates the app going back into the icon in a fluid way. Third party launchers can't do this.
Use Pixel Launcher Mods to hide apps, enable icon packs, and change out the at a glance or searchbar widget. It requires Magisk.
In order to blank either of the widgets you need an empty widget, I prefer The Empty Widget on the Play Store since it has zero permissions and nothing superfluous. You can then use the hide apps function to hide the icon.
In order to modify the QS you will need AOSP Mods which requires Magisk and LSPosed. The Xposed version is the minimum, but if you download the Full version it will come with overlay themes to allow you to remove the navbar, change fonts, theme the QS, and change the system icons style.

Does this method to hide the searchbar widget move the icon drawer down to fill the gap?
Not seen anything on the stock launcher that makes it worth putting up with the limitations. Even when mods are used, it's still clunky and limited (for example, you can't change icons for individual apps).
Nova for me, far better and it does everything the stock launcher does and more. I've always found some people being desperate to stick with stock a bit strange.

With the Pixel Launcher mod you can change icons for individual apps while using the stock Pixel Launcher.
I've used Nova, Lawnchair and Hyperion for years and years but am currently using the stock Pixel Launcher with the Pixel Launcher mod to change icons and a Substratum theme to get rid of the gesture pill. Not desperate, just a personal preference. I guess I would fall into the strange category
Wich substratum theme are you using?
Can you had some screenshots?

No, you are not removing it but rather replacing it with another widget which is just going to be a blank one.

It is a Substratum theme (FSIM-Version1.apk) for this Magisk mod. You can find it via the Telegram link in that Github repo.

I took prefer to do this. Pixel Launcher Mod has something that Lawnchair used to have but no longer does if I'm not mistaken, but the ability to apply multiple icon packs at once pretty much keeps all your icons themed at(I normally have 3-4 applied) all times.
Ok, I checked out the pixel mod again. It offers a lot but still falls well short of making the Pixel launcher an everyday use for me.
For example, you can't get rid of both the top and bottom bars at the same time (not the mods fault, I know). And my main issue with it is that you can't change the grid size so you're stuck with 4 columns and 5 rows which simply isn't enough for me.
So whilst the animations and smoothness are nice, they're not nice enough for me to put up with the stupid limitations Google have put in place.

For what it's worth, the stock Pixel Launcher goes up to 5 x 5.
