Hey guys, I am still on EUI Laucher, but i wana change. Have you tryed Google PIXEL Launcher, there is no official support, but you can downloand apk. ANy tips od experinece?
I am using stock launcher I do not see anything bad with it, personally I do not like the app drawer , however before using stock launcher, I used to use next 3d lsuncher, and google now launcher which was really smooth, I did like it.
The stock launcher is fine but I use Go Launcher mainly to eliminate the live button.
I have tried Pixel Launcher and its nice.
But my preferred Launcher is NOVA because it have many useful customisation and drawer tab support.

Google Pixel launcher
I have been using SquareHome forever now. Before that Lightning Launcher. Both very customisable, SquareHome is Windows 10 style with tiles rather than icons.
I like that a lot - Notifications on the tile, live tiles, great overview, easy on resources.
I am on 21S and currently using the Pixel launcher. I'd prefer to use Nova launcher because it can mimic Pixel launcher and has the added advantage of nougat-like long press functions and you can use a Pixel icon pack to get all round icons. But I find that Nova launcher has issues with the multitasking selection cards on this phone - it won't show a card for the homescreen like it does on other launchers, so you can't close the last open app/page. Anyone else found this? It also has weird scaling compared to other launchers - at 100% all the icons are much too small. To get them at what I'd consider a normal size you need to set them at about 125-130%.

In the ROM section.
Trebuchet or CM standard
I got tons of Android devices and I'd go crazy if each and every one was different. So I not only try to use a stock Cynogenmod launcher but also make sure that applications are in the same place across devices.
I'm even using Trebuchet on my Note 3, which uses a hybrid Note 3/Note 7 TouchWiz ROM somebody put together to offer Marshmallow features on the Note 3, which has long since been abandoned by Samsung.
Not only is Trebuchet available on all devices, it also has the minimal amount of "Google" in it.
I value my privacy far more than Google's "added value". So no "Google now", no Google search on the phone, nano GAPPS. Essentially I just want the Play Store, nothing else from Google.
Too bad they are not satisfied with that...
The best is nova launcher, fast and very recomendable

Hey guys,now i really wanted the transparent google feed on nova launcher and i discovered a wierd way to do it but it's not permanent so hear it is :
1. Install pixel launcher and set it to default launcher
2. Install nova google companion app
3. Open nova launcher from pixel launcher
4. Swipe to left and it appears transparent but as long as you have pixel launcher as default launcher
So is there is a way to get while keeping nova launcher default or what ?
(Btw : I didn't test the above test on any other device so i don't know if it works on other devices)
I've tried almost anything I thought of, unfortunately couldn't get it using Nova as default
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.....

Hello.
I want to find a solution for this latest Nova Launcher.
I am using the latest Nova launcher on Sony Xperia M2 Lolipop 5.1.1.
It's look good and all working well.
I have turned my Sony Xperia into Google Pixel 2 with the latest Nova Launcher Prime.
But unfortunately, the Search Bar in App Drawer is still old unlike Pixel Launcher Exactly.
Are there friends here who can modify the Search Bar in App Drawer Nova Launcher like Pixel Launcher? In order to look more like the real?
Thank's :angel:
I'm coming from a Moto Z. I don't know a lot about launcher styles but I think the way it worked is more or less straight from AOSP -- simple home screens with a toggle for a Google Search bar at the top, fixed app-drawer button in the home row, drawer scrolls vertically with an alphabetical list of all installed apps. Swiping "before" first home screen (so, to the right) shows Google Now.
I can try to get used to the stock launcher (swipe up for app drawer, down for search / calendar) but I'd really like to keep Google Now's article listing. Is there a simple way to do that without other drastic changes? I'm not planning to root, if that matters.
Try Lawnchair or Rootless Pixel Launcher. Simple APK installation and you will get similar experience to Pixel 3's launcher. There is an add-on APK available for the Google Now functionality you want as well.
You can install a theme that enables google now on the stock launcher, I have these two:
Pixel Experience Theme
Pixel Experience Theme Dark
I replaced my Pixel 3 with this phone and am quite happy how well it does so.
I use Nova Launcher Prime and Google Now companion add-on. Unfortunately I can't remember if you need to pay for Nova Launcher Prime to use the add-on. It works great!
