Did you pay for this lauchner? No? Then how on earth do you feel so entitled to dev support?? And maybe, just maybe you aren't getting an answer because only some other guys had that problem with current versions, the majority doesn't. So maybe that problem is not directly caused by the launcher? And do you really think someone wants to help you after your passive aggressive drama cry?

I agree with you.
I've been following this thread from the beginning and I've only seen two users complaining about wake locks or battery drain which means its obviously not a launcher issue.
My family (myself, my wife and my three adult kids) are running this launcher on five different devices in my home running android versions 5.1, 6.0, 7.0, 7.1.2 and 8.0 (that's how good we feel this launcher is) and not one device suffers wakelock issues or battery drain.
People also forget the developer is a student and has mentioned previously he is currently busy with college.
He is also working on lawnchair and has said several times here can't answer every comment or complaint made.
I wasn't going to comment on what was posted but I feel the comment made was completely unnecessary and very rude if not disrespectful to the poor developer, which is not something I want to see here.

Guys, I used this launcher with 7.1, it was great. now im using with 8.0 oreo, and my battery is too bad. Its eat my battery.Any solution for this? Thanks
I'm on 8.0 too and it doesn't even appear in the list.
Totally agree with you.
I'm on 8.0 (LOS 15) and I don't see any battery drain or does this launcher appear in the apps using battery.
Could be a widget???
I have mine on Portuguese from Portugal and the days appear just fine, try to change the screen dpi to fit more stuff on the screen.
In my smartphone (Moto Z Play) the only day of the week that the calendar appears normal is precisely the Saturday, the others the month does not appear.

Honestly an almost perfect launcher. I love it so much! Google perfected their launcher, it's incredibly minimalistic, not to mention functional. They even paid close attention to the 18:9 trend by putting the search bar on the bottom (perfect placement for 18:9 screens, period). This APK conversion is almost perfect as well...
If it didn't consume almost 1% per hour on standby time... I have the S8+ and I absolutely loathed switching back to TouchWiz launcher. It's so damn ugly and noisy. Not at all elegant, no'r professional looking. But my idle battery consumption turned from 1.8% per hour to barely just 1%... Now one might say, it's just an additional 0.8%; but doing the math (and actual real world experience), this translate to taking way more than 8% of your battery, assuming you fully charge your phone, go to bed at 10pm, and wake up somewhere around 6am. That's incredibly annoying for someone like me, and I'd be guessing a whole lot of people who care about their battery life. Samsung already pretty horrible at managing idle battery consumption, this certainly won't help.
So I'm back with this fugly TouchWiz launcher... Begrudgingly back, it's so painful to look at. I honestly don't want to even try to switch to Nova Launcher (I've bought the pro version of this btw), or Action Launcher because I'm pretty sure it'd consume even more idle battery.
TL;DR Hate TouchWiz Launcher; Love this, but can't use it due to the (somewhat) massive idle battery consumption. Please fix if possible. Big thank!

I am also facing issue with battery.. Moved back to stock Moto launcher because of battery consumption

No, that's the one single thing I'm missing in this otherwise great launcher.
? Why would you feel offended by a question this simple to answer? It's a community here, not some 'do it on your own' study pressure environment.
But it's just 5 mb app and we can just download it and see it by ourselves! And if you feel that i feel offended then sorry, I don't want to create any fights here

1514The Rootless Pixel 2 launcher for Android 7.0 - 8.1
The Pixel 2 Launcher was released not long ago. But some features only work when installed as a system app so I decided to make this.
Features
- Based on Pixel Launcher P-4623511
- Enable google now and weather without installing as a system app
- Fix blue folders on Xperia devices
- Change accent color to Pixel blue
- Add circle icon shape for Nexus on stock O
- Force circle icons option
- Force colored Google logo option
- Dark theme
- Dark text theme
- Fixed settings buttons visible in app drawer
Here's a little video of it in action.
Install
How to install? Simple. Just download the apk and open it. And don't forget to uninstall you old Pixel Launcher first (if you already have one).
This is only tested on 7.1.1. If this is working on other Android versions please report back.
