Hello there!
I started a project based on @azaidi's Rootless Pixel Launcher. I have cherry picked some features from various developers and added few of mine to create a fully working and customisable launcher. This launcher also includes the new P style dock by Google (as seen in the Android P DP1 Launcher).

Magisk Module
- This is for people who either use pixel launcher with custom recovery or use a custom ROM with a launcher3 with pixel launcher package name. EDIT: It's not needed as the package name has been changed and it doesn't conflict anymore!

Huge thanks to @Skittles9823 for the module!
