Get the stock Android Pie look on any device guide with links (no root required) - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods

Get the stock Android Pie look on any device guide with links (no root required) - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods

Recently I have been on a quest to try to make my phone look similar to the Google Pixel 3XL since I love Samsung hardware and Stock Pixel software. Also this is a Knox and warranty friendly method aswell so no rooting is required. (Screenshots at the bottom of the post)
Here is a guide on how to make probably any phone look like the Pixel 3XL with links and steps.
Apps required:
- Substratum (free)
- Andromeda ($1.99)
- Flux/Flux White ($1.45 each)
- Google Product Sans font (free)
- Clock Tweaks for O (free)
- Google apps to replace the stock ones
- CPL (Customized Pixel Launcher) (free)
- Navigation Gestures by xda (free)
- Pixel Icons ($1.60)
- Pixel wallpapers 18 (free)
*All the links for these can be found under each step*
Step 1 (Launcher):
The launcher is probably the easiest thing to get. I have tried most of the launchers available on the Play Store and this one is just the best out of them all. No problems nor bugs and with a little bit of tweaking you can make it look just like the stock pixel launcher.
CPL: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.whatau.cpl (Free)
Step 2 (Icons):
For the icon pack you have two options. There are free ones that work just fine but the paid one's icons are more accurate to the stock Pixel ones.
I have got a combination of both pre-installed icons and some from the Pixel Icons app.
Pixel Icons: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pixelflow.apps.pixelicons (Paid)
Step 3 (Wallpaper):
Instal the Pixel wallpapers 18 apk for the stock Pixel wallpapers (for me most of these don’t work but some do – app crashes)
Pixel Wallpapers: https://www.xda-developers.com/download-google-pixel-3-live-wallpapers-port/ (Free)
Step 4 (Google Apps):
You can find most Google apps as apks from the link below but one on particular needs a certain apk and that is the Google Camera. Someone has ported it for Exynos variant of the Note and here is the link for it:
Google Camera: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/themes/google-camera-hdr-portrait-t3730325 (Free)
Thanks to: @msohail_7
Step 5 (Theme engine):
To get the almost full Pixel experience on your Android device you need Substratum (and Andromeda in case you are not rooted). The app is pretty simple to use but they have no use without the themes.
Substratum: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.substratum (Free)
Andromeda: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.andromeda (Paid)
Step 5.1 (Theme):
You can choose between Light and Dark with either Flux or Flux white. They include some notes inside the tabs to let you know what and what to not do.
Flux: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flux.substratum.theme (Paid)
Flux White: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flux.white.substratum (Paid)
Step 5.2 (Nav bar):
In the Flux options you have the Google Pixel Pie navbar but as you know on the real one if you swipe up it brings the recent apps menu. To get that feature you have to download Navigation Gestures by xda and make the bar a small transparent pill that only works if you swipe up from it
Navigation Gestures: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xda.nobar (Free/Paid)
Step 5.3 (Font):
With the Substratum app you can also get the new Google Product Sans font and many other more with this simple app (additional info and instructions are found in the link below):
Google Product Sans: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/themes/fonts-wings-samsung-fonts-1200-root-t3710688 (Free)
Step 6 (Clock mod):
Last but not least is the left clock mod. Its at simple as the title says, it moves your clock from the right side of the status bar to the left and it can be accesed from the substratum app.
Left Clock: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/mod-center-left-clock-o-t3614824 (Free)
Thanks to: @AL_IRAQI
Make sure that all the apps are compatible with your device (I have all these on my note 8 so for any other device it might not be different). For any questions or problems I'm more than happy to answer them. These are mostly all the steps I did to receive my look but ofcourse, you can tweak as you wish.
If you found this guide helpful any feedback is much appreciated and if any of these materials are not allowed I am willing to edit the post (I am new to posting here)!

Best launchers
Wondering who decided which of these are the best??? I personally enjoy Nova Prime

@The Moment using action launcher and I think this is really the best one I ever used!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Go Dev Team = Just no. Smart Launcher is the best thing I've come across for replacements.
Sent from my LGMS769 using Tapatalk

[Workaround]Get Rid of Ugly Navbar in Nexus 5 Running MIUI

Hey there guys...
So today I will be giving a small guide to get rid of ugly navbar in Nexus 5 running miui.
Lets Begin
Requirements :
1)Nexus 5 running MIUI.
2)Xposed Installed(All likns will be provided in the bottom of the thread).
3)I will be listing a couple of paid apps so you if you want to use them you may need credit card or you can use whatever method you want to buy those apps.
4)A bit of patience.
Lets Start.....
I will be dividing this guide into two parts
1)Using stock MIUI launcher
2)Using 3rd party launcher.
Using Stock MIUI Launcher
We all know N5 have that kitkat navbar which looks ugly on MIUI.So to get rid of that first flash Lollipop navbar(link is at the bottom).
After Flashing it your navbar will be same as we see in lillipop but is not transparent(actually it is transparent but MIUI launcher makes it black).
So if you are a user like me who love setting dark wallpapers then you should'n have much problem with it becauser when you set a dark wallpaper navbar color and wallpapers colour matches and it looks perfect as you can see in Screenshot 1.
But if you don't like dark wallpapers then it looks preety damn ugly even if you flash lollipop navbar.So to get rid of that install Gravitybox xposed module.
After activating it go to Navigation bar settings and enable navbar(You have to do this if you want to customize it).After enabling it reboot your device.Again go to gravitybox>navbar settings and enable custom key colors and set key color to black so navbar willl look like a black strip on the screen which feels like it is bottom of the phone and not navbar.Now you can set whichever wallpaepr you want.You can see it in Screenshot 2.
Using 3rd Party Launcher
First download force translucent xposed module and activate it.After activating it set translucent navbar to all apps in app settings.
Then download MIUI launcher from play store(I think its just heavily modded nova launcher but it looks a lot like MIUI).
Download MIUI icon pack(this is paid app)
Set MIUI (Downloaded from gplay) as your default launcher and apply icon pack.There you go you have MIUI launcher with transparent navbar.

HOW TO USE
Go to settings--apps-- default apps--homescreen--change to new one

UPDATE 3/12/2018- LATEST One UI launcher APK attached-Experience Launcher has got updated to ONE UI launcher now- works ONLY WITH APP CLONER
APP CLONER REQUIRED FOR INSTALLING THE LATEST ONE UI HOME APK PROVIDED BY ME

Then click the tick sign, it will clone and then install it.

APP CLONER basically clones the app so that apps which are compatible with your system but can't be installed, work fine.

**SHORTCUT-- FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO INSTALL MORE THAN 3-4 APKS **
Install the 5 files from links- launcher, theme file, goodlock ,substratum with left clock- that will be enough for giving the ONE UI look(you will get the EXACT look given in first post screenshots, leaving aside the native Samsung pie apps)
You can even leave the substratum and left clock if you don't need left clock- that will reduce it to JUST 3 APKS to install
The other weather, dialer etc are pie apps and you don't necessarily need them- just that if you need entirely pie apps running on your Oreo Device with the pie experience.*
This will take very few minutes and done!- you have the one ui look!
Finally, if you liked the new look, don't forget to put a thumbs up for this post

I did the same thing a couple of weeks ago, but i just cant manage to get the rounded notifications on the status bar drawer like yours. mine just scramble with some ****ty background colour, especially when i have a white app behind it.

Try uninstalling the themes and reinstalling
Faced the same problem and did it ,got resolved.

New One UI browser apk

Install as normal apk

Notes One UI APK
www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-elect...otes-3-0-00-69-android-apk-download/download/

The alternative is to use The theme v3 day, then use Swift installer, change apps to black amoled, and the rest of the tweaks in Swift installer too- like use material theme and even transparency of the pull down notif.

Will try that. ?
Never tried the swift installer

Didn't use one handed mode yet

The browser also has modes to hide status bar which actually helps us use the entire screen for browsing?

Yes. It's just that the whole idea of one uinis to move important elements to he button. And I don't know but I think the address bar is very important and almost out of reach even for my big hands.

I can't get notifications on this launcher

3. Uninstall previous versions of the editor, disable Pixel Tweaks overlays in substratum, and reboot.
4. Install Pixel Tweaks.*
*When installing the editor you might get a message stating that Play Protect does not recognize this app's developer, that is because I signed the app with my private keys and I am not registered through the Play Store.
How to build your custom Pixel Launcher Theme
01. Open Substratum Lite and select Tweaks.

06. Under Android System select FolderTrim to set your desired folder trim color. If nothing is selected, stock colors will be used.

Cool thanks for sharing.
When I change my icons with Pixel Launcher Mods the screen refreshes often and pulls up the last used app, which makes it very cumbersome to use my phone. So I disable "apply icons when app updates" which causes some icons to remain stock unless I force apply.....
Do you have this same issue. I like your icon pack, but if 2 of my home screen icons are stock it ruins everything for me.

Yes same issue, I set battery to not optimize the app and after a while it settles in. It still happens, just not as often as it did.

I just want to say thank you for doing this! Is it possible to have a 7x8 grid at all? That's what I use for my Lawnchair launcher, but I find the Pixel launcher is way less buggy and more smooth.

I've installed all the apks and the module. But when I click on either the command center app or the pixel launcher editor app it opens it like I went into the settings and clicked on apps; it doesn't actually launch the app it opens the app settings. Anyone else getting this or know why?

Command center is a widget so apply via widget menu (long press home). The editor is accessible via subtrantum. I recommend substratum lite. Look at instructions in post 2 for installing the overlays. Neither of the apps have a UI, so that's why it goes to app settings

Ok. I guess I'm just missing something. When I open the pixel launcher editor and make all the changes nothing sticks. I back out and go back in and everything is back to default. The instructions say to build the theme 3 times. I'm not sure how to do that. For someone who has never dealt with substratum before the instructions are kind of vague.

Would it be possible to remove the top widget "at a glance" ?

Looking for Android 12 Support? Click Here
Greetings
This is a combination of a Magisk module and Substratum Theme. I originally did this as means to give custom options to people who enjoy the Pixel Launcher and was planning to release on the Play Store. Since it required a modified Pixel Launcher via Magisk, I decided to release it to the public via XDA.
The Magisk module is needed in order for the options in the Substratum theme to install and function properly!

Q & A
Q: Will this mod work on other Pixel Devices?
A: Each Pixel device starting with Pixel 2 has its own thread. Please check in the corresponding device forums.
Q: There is no thread in the Pixel 3a or Pixel 3aXL forums, where can I find the mod for this device?
A: The mod is exactly the same as the one for the Pixel 3(XL), go there for download.
Q: There is no thread on the Pixel 4a or Pixel 4a 5g forums, is this compatible with those devices?
A: Unknown, I have no way of testing on those two devices. If you would like to become a tester send me a private message. You must know how to use ADB and willing to suffer force closures.
Q: When will this mod be compatible with the Pixel 4a and/or Pixel 4a 5g?
A: I need someone on the latest firmware for those devices to send me the Pixel Launcher apk. It is located in /system/system_ext/priv-app/NexusLauncherRelease/. Once this file is sent to me I will be able to make this mod compatible with those devices.

ayyy nice work!!

Nice work bro :good: great features!

Thank you for this. I just came from the Pixel 4, and was using your editor!

Just updated to Nov. OTA...no update to mod required.

It works on the Pixel launcher and the framework. I have not been able to make it work on SystemUI. So your milage will vary with other sub themes, but for what this mod uses it works 100%

Works great on my Pixel 5, thanks for the app!

Great Work!
Finally one can easily customize pixel launcher now! Thanks a lot!
And a dumb feature request from me, can you add dynamic icon masking like on Lawnchair V2 and Hyperion to Pixel Launcher?
Don't mind me if what I am asking is impossible. I don't know how launcher3 or things work .

There is an app for that already but currently broken on Pixel 5 (worked on p2-4 even on android 11). I already let the dev of that app know. Hopefully he will update it. If he does I'll link to his thread.

Looks like custom icons are working again. Check post above or 2nd post for link.

I've noticed an oddball issue after applying a theme. The overlay theme I created is for a 5x6 grid with the Google Search removed. Once that gets applied and I reboot, I'm not able to add correctly sized widgets. When I go to add a widget (weather, google search, color note, etc) it adds a row to the widget size. For example, the (normally) 5x1 google search widget gets listed as 5x2, and takes up 2 rows on the home screen after adding it, and it can't be resized to only be a height of one row.

The app that is linked two posts above yours has the ability to resize widgets! That's what I use.

Some screenshots of the resize widget part

that worked, thanks!

Some things are brewing! Will simplify the install process and it includes a color picker!
