[Q Beta 3] Q Pixel Module; Pixel Launcher, Google Sans, Pixel UI for Beta 3

[H0lmEd]

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 )

*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:

• Markup app crashing
• Google Sans on "at a glance" widget, Doesn't work on Pixel phones
• Overview selection with Action Services

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

This looks Great.
Can you please provide steps how to apply. My phone is un-root at the moment.

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.

That or use Lawnchair

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 :-|

Do you know of any ways to get lockscreen weather like this

Was thinking it's just a port of overlay?
Thx!

there's a hacky module on reddit that does this on pie that replaces the systemUI.apk that brings that functionality. i dunno if we can do this atm with the new lockscreen clocks and all of that.

Wait so do lawnchair and quickstep work correctly with android Q and the new gestures??

 

[Boal]

Lawnchair no, Quickstep mostly.

I guess this means that we can root Q

Sent from my PH-1 using XDA Labs

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.

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
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.

How did you patch the boot.img? I’m on Q beta 3 and scared of boot looping the phone...I would be really thankful if you could tell me how to root Q beta 3
