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!!

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!

Lightning Launcher
Description and features
Lose the fat, keep the muscle. Be warned, Lightning Launcher is on steroïds.
Lightning Launcher: Lose the fat, keep the muscle. Be warned, this launcher is on steroïds.
Tips, please read this first:
Use "LLW App Widget" if you want to add Android widgets.
This app is started through the HOME key and not from your app drawer since LL is itself a launcher. If you cannot select it through the HOME key then you need to clear the defaults for your current launcher.
for any question or suggestion, do not hesitate to ask: [email protected]
This application has been designed to minimize memory usage and be fast: the more memory you have for your applications, the faster they will run. In other words Lightning Launcher has been built from the ground to preserve your phone's resources and keep it smooth.
In spite of its ridiculously small size (less than 60kb!), Lightning Launcher is packed with a fair amount of features and brings to Android a very unique concept: the home screen can be seen as a giant surface on which you are free to put icons, shortcuts or widgets exactly where YOU WANT, and not limited to a 4x4 grid. Pinch to zoom in or out the desktop, use the home key to switch between a full scale view or the normal size, or double tap on empty space as in the web browser to immediately see all your icons. And everything stay functional whatever the zoom level is: widgets are alive, icons can be clicked, and so on.
Lightning Launcher drops rarely used features and focuses on useful ones but comes nevertheless with numerous customization options. Icons and widgets can be moved, scaled and even rotated freely. Each object can be configured independently, you can change the font, the label, the icon and much more !
The package is extremely small, only a few kilobytes. What it means is that the Android system do not need to load several megabytes to run this app. Lightning Launcher starts faster and run in perfect harmony with your other apps.
For people kindly asking why the CALL_PHONE permission is needed (notice that this the only one needed by LL!): this is needed for direct call shortcuts, and this permission is included in all major launchers, including Go and Pro.
For other people not asking why and putting stupid one star comments: go away, you have just lost a unique chance to try something new and better, have a good day.

FTL Launcher Pro
Description and features
Make no mistake, this is the fastest launcher you'll ever run. Small, light, configurable. The Gingerbread launcher as it should have been. No useless stuff, no compromises. Performance and usability are the driving forces here.
On version 3.0 Pro users have a all new game to play now: The Pro version can use existing ADW, GoLauncher and LauncherPro Icon and Dock themes, giving FTL and unprecedented array of possible theming. You can even mix Dock and Icon themes from different launchers. Google Play is yours for the take.
And of course you still have the other extras: configurable homsecreen grid from 4x4 to 6x6, resizeable widgets, and, never seen in any launcher: control over core Android window animation speed.
Important: FTL supports all resolutions and ICS, but only 800x480, 854x480, 960x540 and 480x320 devices have 3D drawer enabled! Also ICS has no 3D drawer because it does not contain the "old" opengl interface. But as it is natively accelerated anyway, 2D drawer should be very fast.
Features:
Theming support: The Pro version can use existing ADW, GoLauncher and LauncherPro Icon and Dock themes, giving FTL and unprecedented array of possible theming.
Tweaked for extreme speed and smoothness
Fully accelerated 3D Waterfall app drawer
Option to use "normal" 2D app drawer
Configurable support for resizeable widgets: only when adding them to the homescreen, you cannot edit them later.
Configurable Homescreen grid: From 4 to 6 rows, and 4 to 6 columns
Configurable number of homescreens: from 1 to 9 with configurable default homescreen
Choice between 3 and 5 icon Dock
Configurable Dock icons size
Configurable "swipe down" and "swipe down" independently to any of the following:
Includes anim speed: precise control over core Android windows/transition animation speed
Configurable Support for launcher auto-rotation
Configurable Infinite looping of homescreens
Configurable support for scrollable widgets
Configurable bounce effect on homescreen transitions
Configurable wallpaper scrolling
Configurable transition speed of homescreens

Plus i still can not believe how many launchers are out there
New Lockscreen (with a twist) added to post 3. Video included to give you guys better explanation of what i am talking about.
Hope you guys like the twist in that lockscreen and hit the thanks as well if you want.
This has gone straight to my subscribed threads
Great thread and I hope it keeps getting updated as such. Good work
P.S. You should add Holo Launcher and Regina Launcher on here.
I was using Regina for quite a while before and it's a solid launcher but not as much customization as I'd like. And I'm currently using Holo but have only just started using it, so I haven't covered all aspects of it yet, but it does look and feel great

[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.

Get the stock Android Pie look on any device guide with links (no root required)

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)!

[February 7, 2022] Pixel Tweaks for Pixel 4 with Color Picker

Badseed Customs Presents
Pixel Tweaks
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!

2. Install Substratum Lite from Play Store.
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.

Feeling generous, send me a beer!
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.

:good: thanks!!
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.

Awesome video instructions! Very clear and concise. Worked like a champ. Thanks!
Would it be possible to remove the top widget "at a glance" ?
