[APP][ROOT][12+][13/07] Pixel Launcher Mods - Icon Packs & more for STOCK Pixel Launcher

[Quinny899]

Pixel Launcher Mods is a root app for Android 12+ that enables you to add a number of features to the stock Pixel Launcher, without needing Xposed.

• Custom icons, including icon packs, adaptive icon packs and Lawnicons
• Custom themed icons, add themed icons to apps that don't yet have them officially
  • Generate themed icons from supported normal icons
• Replace Search Box with a widget of your choice
• Hide At a Glance (space will remain unusable)
• Hide apps from the app drawer
• Resize widgets beyond their original bounds, down to 1x1 or up to the maximum size of your grid
• Hide the status bar clock while the Pixel Launcher is visible, for ultimate minimalism
• Disable Wallpaper Status Bar Scrim
• Disable Wallpaper Region-based Widget Colours

Please read the FAQ before installing or making issues / asking questions

How It Works​

Interested in how Pixel Launcher Mods works? You can read all about it here

Old versions, which can only be used on older versions of Android than 12, can be found here

More Themed Icons (Android 12)
On Android 12, you can only change apps' themed icons to icons already in the Pixel Launcher. You can add more icons to the launcher using Magisk modules that provide an overlay, such as this one.

Can't seem to reproduce that, at least trying other icon packs (yours is paid, so I can't test it with that exact config) on the launcher and it works fine

From the FAQ:

Q: Can you implement X feature?
A: Probably not. This app works off modifying the already available files - not the app itself. Whilst there are some mods you can make by editing the Shared Preferences (such as enabling/disabling the Google search bar in the app drawer, changing the top row of apps in the drawer and enabling the "bounce" animation), they get reset every time the launcher loads, so are useless. I can't implement icon hiding, grid size changes, overlapping widgets, or any of your other favourite custom launcher features - use a proper custom launcher for that

I tried this icon pack with Rootless Pixel Launcher and it doesn't work. Setting individual icons works fine, though.

Oneplus 5, stock 5.0.1 OOS, Magisk.

How do I revert my icons back to stock??

Currently you have to do it one by one in the app, or clear the data of both Pixel Launcher and this app (will reset your homescreen layout too). I plan to add a "reset all" option for the next update though

Dang! That sucks.

Additionally, there are a lot of bugs with applying icon packs. Example: I applied an icon pack, but not all of the icons were skinned. Example #2: I tried applying a different icon pack and it just didn't work. So, yeah.

Thanks!

This is probably down to the way the app works. It uses a highly experimental method of running Java code as root, so it's buggy. You may have to apply the icon pack a couple of times for it to work.

In terms of it not applying to all icons, which ones aren't skinned? Are they adaptive icons? If so, you need to either apply them manually or enable the option to apply to adaptive icons in the app's settings. This is disabled by default because 1.) adaptive icons are usually fairly well themed already, unless you're going for a totally different style and 2.) when their icons are changed, you get a glitched overlay when they're long pressed
