[APP][ROOT][12+][11/05] Pixel Launcher Mods - Icon Packs & more for STOCK Pixel Launcher

[Quinny899]

Heads up, on Android 13 Beta 1, the overlay may cause a crash loop of the Pixel Launcher if you replace Smartspace with a widget. To fix this (by disabling the feature), use the following ADB command:

adb shell
su
cmd overlay disable com.google.android.apps.nexuslauncher.plmoverlay

I'll fix the bug when I get the time, they've just changed how Smartspace works again.

The lastest version on xda is v2.1, whereas on Github it is 2.0.1. Which one am I supposed to download?

Not sure what's happened there, I'm about to release 2.2 anyway so it doesn't matter anymore.

Version 2.2 now available

- Fixed Widget Replacement crash on Android 13 B1. The method of replacement has now changed slightly and will hopefully be more stable for future updates.
- Fixed icons not applying after grid size changes (you should reboot after changing grid size to allow the icon resize to bed in before opening PLM)
- Fixed themed icons not having a background when applied to the app drawer
- The overlay will now be reset to the stub when resetting, allowing a clean Magisk module uninstall
- Fixed crashes
- Updated Romanian translation, thanks ygorigor

Yeah I know, there's a GitHub issue for it and I know exactly what's causing it - I tested it for 2.2, but not 2.2.1 so of course the one time I didn't check it, it's broken.

If you need it urgently, the module from either 2.2 or 2.0.1/2.1 will work.

I read the FAQ on the git, but I'm also an idiot, so please pardon. How exactly do you install this app? Just downloaded the .apk in my phone's browser and followed the installation prompts. However the app doesn't launch. It starts to then immediately closes and "not responding" dialog. Did I do something wrong? What is the Magisk module and do I need to separately install something else?

I previously used the Zwart black icons pack on previous version of Lineage, and didn't need a separate mod to apply them. After nightly update I'm on A12 now... so to make sure I have things clear and am using the right tools, I can use this Pixel Launcher Mods to change the icons? So this is not in itself a seperate launcher? It just overwrites the hardcoded references to icons as explained in the github?

Running rooted Pixel 3 on latest nightly and magisk v23.

Thank you for any support and apologies for so many questions. I've had way too many bootloops from doing things first and asking questions second!!

If it's failing to start please post a log.

If it's failing to start please post a log.

Thank you for the response. Can you point me to what type of log I should post or how to create it? Much obliged!

Edit: two logcats, one before and one after attempting to run it unsuccessfully a few times. Please let me know if this is what you need or I should be doing something else to assist.

Thank you!

You don't have the Pixel Launcher installed. Granted, it should handle that better, but you need it installed properly to use this app.

Apologies for my confusion. Since I have Pixel, I thought that is all that is needed. So instead, I am on the Lineage default Trebuchet, then? So I just download and install the Pixel Launcher and can use the features of this apk? Again sorry for the dumb questions. Still learning.

Edit: Guess it's a moot point. I installed the latest Pixel Launcher from the Play Store and it would just force close. This app did open and launch but I wasn't able to do anything with it. Bummer. App looks promising!

The Pixel Launcher is built into the system, you will need a Magisk module (a recent one that uses the launcher from 12 or 12.1) to use it.

might just be dumb question but lawnicons or modded lawnicons can't be used as icon packs to bulk replace icons using this app right? I'd have to use that and individually replace each icon? thanks!

Correct, it's done one by one.

hi, great mod but I have an issue:
the app icons revert back to the original during the opening and closing animations. after the animation is done, it changes back to the custom icon.
is this normal?
I am on android 12.1 (pixel 5)

Normal, can't be fixed.
