Hey guys,

Pixel launcher seems to be constantly crashing after flashing the 7.1.1 ota with twrp. When I flash the 'pixel stuff v1.1' (that installs pixel launcher and navbar via twrp) I get a constant system UI error.. So I had to restore my nandroid backup. Also, installing apk files doesn't seem to work anymore. I get an error saying that there was a problem parsing the package? I tried multiple apks.. So, does anyone else has this?

The problem is the SystemUI apk... It is from 7.0 not from 7.1.1, this is the reason why it crashes.
Yeah I've noticed it just before reading this post, thanks anyway! Installing apk files work when I do it via root explorer, it just doesn't work when I try to installl them by going to downloads.. Oh well.

I've got the pixel launcher working now (made the app a system app using titanium backup. It kept hanging on processing, but after rebooting it seemed it worked). If anyone's able to get their hands on the new pixel launcher apk (with the weather info on the home screen), feel free to share it with us! :D

Are you talking about non pixel phones???
If yes flash the pixel launcher again.....
Install backup script....to survive ota...

Here's the link to latest pixel launcher and its backup script....
