[APP][7.0+] Rootless Pixel 2 Launcher with Google Now page working
- Thread starter paphonb
- Start date
Link for what? Just search the thread, people asking for icon packs are all over the thread. About the Google feed, paphonb did mention in the feature list in the op that this app "Enable google now and weather without installing as a system app" and you do need to modify the apk to do that so you can call it modded for that reason.
But in the first place, paphonb already wrote in the FAQ section that "Neither this nor the original Pixel Launcher support icon packs. But if you're rooted, you can use Pixel Launcher Mods to change icons or apply an icon pack." If you're not rooted then too bad but you can always use another launcher.
I'm not posting any links.
If you cannot be bothered to search for the Information you want, that's your problem.
As stated by @Stampyron, @paphonb has explained these things in the thread a number of times.
If you dont believe us or dont want to believe it, that's your problem.
XDA has a perfectly good search function.
I suggest you use it.
If you keep calling me out over stuff thats been posted here for everyones benefit (including yours) and then you say it "Neber happened" I'll just report you to the mods.

Im going to ask politely that the whole "modded" talk cease please. I dont think the dev would appreciate it. Im just going to try asking nicely, Im not here to sway anyones opinion. Im not here to take sides. Honestly, it just not worth it guys. Please remember its not that serious. We are all here to enjoy Android.
Please and thank you.
Please and thank you.
Greetings ??, I am new to this forum thread, but not the launcher (have gotten apks through APK Mirror and GitHub before), and coming from the Ruthless Pixel Launcher with a personal question to pose.
Is anyone unable to get notification dots and or force touch settings for applications implemented or working at all ?? Could have sworn earlier versions of this launcher had this functionality when I used them back in the day, however, I could be mistaken, but I am unsure ?? If I could get this question answered I would greatly appreciate it ☺. Thanks ?.
@paphonb, thanks for the recent updates. Keep up the good work ?.

Notification dots are only working on oreo as stated in FAQ. I don't know what is force touch (sounds something like Apple's 3D touch thingy) but if you meant app shortcuts then you need to make the launcher as default launcher app
Thanks for the information ☺. Darn shame that the dots are for Oreo only now, but in due time my phone (G6) will be updated to that Android version (whenever that may be though ?). Force touch, I believe, was Google's answer to Apple's 3D touch (all I know is the both deal with long pressing an app icon to get more settings and functionality ?). Lastly, I do have the launcher set as the default, but I am still not getting these application shortcuts at all ?. Your thoughts @Stampyron?
UPDATE: I also have all permissions enabled as well.

Thread cleaned. Im not saying this to anyone specific but this thread as a whole. This argument is done. I wont be so kind if I have to deal with this a 3rd time. Im trying to be nice and patient.
seems to be you don't have internet connection. Weather will instantly pops up if you turn your wifi on and location must be turned on even on battery saving, the app will do its job

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.

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.
