Pixel Launcher Editor

Greetings
This is a combination of a Magisk module and Substratum Theme. I originally did this as means to give custom options to people who enjoy the Pixel Launcher and was planning to release on the Play Store. Since it required a modified Pixel Launcher via Magisk, I decided to release it to the public via XDA.

The Magisk module is needed in order for the options in the Substratum theme to install and function properly!

The Goods!
Removed drag handle from home screen by default
Changes folder background color by default
Option to change grid layout in home screen and app drawer
Option to remove search bar (along with page indicator) from home and app drawer
Option to remove homescreen and app drawer text
Option to change app drawer background
Option to change folder background
Option to change folder border color
Option to change icon size
Option to change home screen text color
Option to change app drawer text color
Option to change folder text color

Compatibility
Pixel 4 & Pixel 4XL

Changelog
Pixel Launcher Helper v10.5

-Fixed At a Glance Widget not working
-Please look at instructions to see how to update
-Huge thanks to @Tulsadiver for the VR Theme

You must build the theme 3 times in order to have this theme working as intended

1. You must select a grid layout in Option 1

-must be the same option on all three builds

2. Do not install Android System, it does absolutely nothing

-don't build at all

3. Select a color option in Option 2 if applicable

-only needs to be built once

4. If removing searchbar, Option 3 must match Option 1 (ex 6x7 in both options)

-must be the same on all three builds

5. Option 4, 5, & 6 must have matching #'s (ex 1DrawerText Blue, 1Drawer BlackTrans & 1Dock10)

-on first build use options starting with 1 (a drawer color option has to be built or other options will not work!)
-on second build use options starting with 2
-on third build use options starting with 3

6. Repeat steps 1-6 two more times
7. Reboot
8. In Substratum, go to manage, select the three overlays for pixel launcher and enable them
9. Reboot

Here is a video of me building the theme with substratum lite.

Command Center v2.1 is attached as well, it can also be themed with my editor.

I keep getting Pixel Launcher FC's after first step (installing the helper). What am I doing wrong here?

Are you using any other mods or substratum themes?

No, I'm completely stock, rooted, only have busybox, Audio Modification Library, and Audio Compatibility Mod installed. Viper4Android is installed as well as its own separate apk.

Edit: Well, maybe this is because I don't have Substratum engine even installed. Sorry, I'm a noob when it comes to this stuff. This is the first time I have actually been OK with a stock experience. I usually like ROMs will tons of customization features. Never really needed to "theme" anything until now.

Edit 2: No, still force closing Pixel Launcher loop. :\

Could you get a logcat for me. I just downloaded and flashed the helper to double check that it was working. Also, are you on build QD1A.190821.011.C4?

Edit...The helper is not dependent on substratum. So that is not the issue.

I was just asking because that's the base I used for the helper.

Edit

A logcat would be best to try to figure out the FC. You can also try clearing Pixel Launcher cache and/or data to see if that fixes it.

I know what's causing the error. For some reason it doesn't like the gesture navigation. It won't FC using 3 button navigation. I'll see what I can do to fix it.

I never imagined it would FC using gesture nav. I usually switch to 3 button nav and hide the nav bar and use fluid gestures as a navigation replacement. I'll work on this today to see if I can fix it.

Edit

I added a bug section in the OP.
