[sharkie405]

Apkmirror has the new Pixel 2 Launcher: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...ixel-launcher-p-4275643-android-apk-download/

According to this article: http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/1...-including-new-pixel-2-features-apk-download/ it works on any device with Android 5.0 or higher.

Edit: I finally found that it has already been posted. I searched before posting this, but apparently I didn't search good enough. Mods feel free to close this thread, and sorry.

I hadn't seen it until your post. Leave it up it really helped. Just installed it and I really like it on my Pixel.

Just installed on my N8. Pretty nice, I might leave it up for a little while. I've always been a Nova launcher guy.

I've not had any issues with it. I'm running stock Oreo on a Pixel XL though.

I installed this on a Nexus 5x and it works just fine. Though it is "stock" android so should be less fussy.

I really hate that the search bar is not removable and neither is the calendar widget. Although it is on 7.1.2 so maybe on Oreo I could change something in settings. I also hate that the screens don't loop around, since I've been using Apex launcher and have used Nova before also.

The tiny icons in the app drawer and the search function is way overdue. Even if I know the name of an app, I'll often miss it from flipping through the ton of app drawer screens too quickly. I can go through the tiny icons visually a whole lot faster.

There are definitely some useful features that I hope others pull into their launchers.


Edit: Doesn't work on my Note 4 on 6.0.1 stock.

Can someone please post and share the latest version of the Pixel Launcher. The one on APKMirror is that of the initial version. Went to my local Best Buy and played around with the Pixel 2 phones there and both had a newer launcher version. I believe it started with 8.1-something.

Here you go. Looks the same so far as I can tell.

Installed it on rooted stock 8.0, pixel XL. Force close. Inconvenient.
