This magisk module was quickly thrown together for the Android Q Beta 3 to port the Pixel Launcher and other apps to the essential. Most taken from the Pixel system images. Hoping this quick module will inspire someone to improve (@Banks :cool:)

*Requires root and Magisk, only tested on PH-1 Q Beta 3*

Current Features:
  • Pixel Launcher (causes QuickStep to crash)
  • Action Services
  • Google Sans on Lock Screen
  • Blue Pixel Accent
  • Rounded Pixel UI
  • Sounds
  • Markup

Screens:

To Do:

Troubleshoot: Delete /data/resource-cache and /data/system/overlays.xml and reinstall module
Ensure all apps have correct permissions

Any idea why the suggested apps below the search bar in the launcher might not show up?

Edit: nvm, I reinstalled it and disabled the QuickSwitch module and now it's all good.

Does quickswitch work correctly on Q? I disabled it before updating for fear of bootloops
It doesn't cause bootloops but it also doesn't work properly, or at least I don't know how to use it properly. Eg app suggestions don't work for some reason.

I really just want the Pixel Launcher, not the Pixel style. Could you tell me what I have to remove from the zip to accomplish this? I tried doing it on my own but I don't think I know what I'm doing and I keep getting severe force closes :(

Just create a new magisk module with the /system/product/priv-app/nexuslauncher folder. Add in Matchmaker for app suggestions

Then use QuickStep to change recents provider to pixel launcher.
Thanks, I almost have it. But the app suggestions are again not showing up. Do you maybe know what I need to consider to have them back?

edit: I've tried reverse engineering your module and it seems like app suggestions require /system/product/overlay/PixelConfigOverlayCommon.apk to function, which also changes some parts of the UI. I'm not too happy about this but I've also reached the end of my knowledge :-|

I guess this means that we can root Q
Yeah magisk can (I'm using canary personally, don't remember if beta and stable can yet). The easiest way to do it is to patch the fastboot boot.img and flash it to your active boot partition, at least in my opinion. I don't think twrp on our device works with Q yet.

Yeah 19.1 is working fine here for me. Which I believe is the latest stable.

I'm using beta (which I think is currently the same as stable, because it's the same version number), and I flashed it with TWRP. It works fine.

Pixel Essentials Q 3.9 zip

-First Q module from me
-Everything works
@op if you want module removed from thread just let me know. Just. Contributing. ?
Thank you for getting this out and sharing it with the XDA community, I was almost about to leave Q and go back to a custom ROM :D
I do have an issue with action services FC when selecting text and with a memory leak which means the phone gets slowly unusable and have to reboot about 1-2 a day.
Is this issue known or do you need more info from my side?

It's known. Trying to figure out a fix. Hopefully it's just an Android Q beta or Actions Services bug.
