[Android 8.1] Pixel 2 XL Launcher + Google Feed - Nexus 6P Themes and Apps

Hey guys! Me again... lol
I thought some of you would like to have the latest Launcher from the Pixel 2 XL like me... It works with the latest Android 8.1 that Google just released for our phone. All you need to do is download the apk and move it in /system/app/ and changed the permissions to "RW-R-R" with your favorite root explorer! Once you've done that you will have to reboot your device and you'll be good to go! Everything works flawlessly. Notification dots are working and you can also change the icons shape etc... Anyways, Here's the link:

Guess op might have to post it somewhere else like android file host or mega. Google is saying it's in violation of their terms. They might not like us using it on lower nexus devices.

My bad. I will rehost it in a minute guys!

No it's just the basic Pixel 2 Launcher. I just wanted to get back quickly my Pixel mod on my phone after flashing Android 8.1 this evening. I'll see whenever I have more time. I might look into creating a complete mod with all the new features.

Unlock them by enabling developer options. Go to settings-system-about phone and tap build number a bunch of times until you see developer mode enabled. Now you will see the option in launcher settings to change icon type.

[NMF26F] Pixel XL Package | Nexus 6P Upgrade

Hey mates!
Google finally rolled out the final 7.1.1 build for the 2015 Nexus brothers just a short while back. The build number reads NMF26F. So for the ones who want the complete Pixel XL feel on their Google Nexus 6Ps running NMF26F i.e. the latest final build can either wait for the Pixelize app (on another thread) to show an update and fetch it from there, or get it from here.
WHAT'S WORKING?
- Pixel Launcher
- Round Icons (also Settings icon is now round)
- Stock Pixel Blue Theme
- Pixel navigation bar icons
- Live Data Wallpapers
- Pixel Fingerprint Notification Gestures
- Live Earth Wallpapers (with a small workaround)
- AudioFX from CM14.1
WHOA, BUGS?
Live Earth Wallpapers just need a small workaround for functioning normally. Just proceed as follows,
- Head over to /data/
- Look for WallapersBReel.apk and install it (tap -> install)
- After installation completes, all Live Earth Wallpapers except Your world - Solar System works
WHAT'S NOT WORKING?
- Pixel's navigation bar animation
- Night Mode
I'm sure the above two would be ported by Charles_I very soon!
RECOMMENDED
For future updates and in order to stay tuned with the newest progress, kindly install Pixelize app which can be found in another thread! I've linked you up.

Hello kribensis! I'm really sorry for the late response.
The failed download workaround - use Opera VPN. Yeah the back end is blocked out in some countries. Kindly let me know!
Also this thread isn't update since Pixelize is where the whole thing is.
Anyway Pixelize will undergo a major upgrade to be self sufficient and patch up your device to Pixel with every upgrade without me in between and a huge download everytime. Will keep all of you posted.
Thanks kribensis!

I have no idea. You're more then free to decompile the APK and check for yourself.
EDIT: It's probably due to the app being debuggable, which is used to show Google Feed.

I never got GNL to work. I've cloned and installed it, but it doesn't do anything - so I don't know. But I also haven't dug into what Motorola or Google has done, so I can't say what the issue actually is.

They're all safe to use. You could decompile the APK and see for yourself.

[PIE only] Pixel Stuff [UPDATE]

So hey I have been working on this since Android Pie was released and ported to my device (bacon) and today after so much struggle I finally got success!
So here it is Pixel Launcher for all the roms which doesnt support it. Most of you might be knowing how pixel launcher force closes on Android Pie.
The zip is a flashable zip which can be flashed in any custom recovery. There maybe few bugs or the zips wont work for your device, in that case text me.
You can find the zips in attachment.
Updated apks from Pixel 3
Steps to flash the zip are:
1. Flash your rom+gapps of your choice (clean flash recommended)
2.Flash PixelLauncher-for-all.zip
3. Flash Pixel-build-prop-patch zip
If you encounter anything just drop me a message at https://t.me/Ram_rdb
If you like my work just click on thanks.
Thanks to:
1. Pixel Experience rom for the (P-Hotness) overlay.
2. Thanks to Google for making Pixel Launcher.
3. Thanks to my tester @Ashu7397 for testing the stuffs and banging his head with me.
4. Thanks to everyone who supported me in any way.

Default launcher coming with the ROM and also other launchers apk like lawn chair , cpl etc looks the same. Also, recents is part of pie ROM. Why we need to have a separate zip for this. No point.

I guess you are unaware of what Pixel Launcher is and what features it come with for Android Pie roms. The launcher shipped with roms is QuickStep which lacks most of pixel launcher features. And Lawnchair and Cpl dont support Pie as Recents are not yet available with them.

I understand what you say. Mostly this is useful for person who use on screen button to access recents menu. I use HW buttons, it doesn't make big difference with any ROM. Still I will give a try on your package just to experience the difference. Thanks.

No No. Its not just onscreen and hardware buttons.. you get AI powered shortcuts in recents and app drawer, App Slices (google it), Text selection in recents apps screen, Google Now integration etc.

Question How do I place the back button on the right side?

Hi
I've always used Samsung with back button on right side (which just plain makes sense as a righty).
Is there anything I could do or something to force it to be on the right?
You could choose a different launcher to customize that. I used to use Nova Launcher. I am sure there are a few others that are good.

I didn't know that I could do this from launcher only.
I'm assuming it's from the firmware itself.

If you will upload your SystemUIGoogle.apk I'll make one for your firmware. It's possible the 12.1 one would work but no guarantees.

You are welcome to try this. I don't have this phone but have tested it on s Pixel 4xl so flash at your own risk. For Android 11, 5a. Never did a 5a so because of the punch hole camera, the clock might not be centered. Upload a screenshot if it isn't.
