I tried the apk but is incompatible. I dont know what requierements it has, maybe you have to be on at least android 6 or something, but it would be cool to have it.
The pixel launcher need api lavel 23+ to run and our lollipop roms have 22 api thats why it is force closing in our devices
But u can have a try of nexus launcher which is the previous version of pixel launcher

Hey,
I have come from an iPod Touch to a kfire to a nexus 7 and now I am using a bit my iTouch again and would like to ask you guys if you know any proper iOS styled launchers or a complete N7 ROM.
List that I tried and think are crap: Eisper Launcher, Turbo Launcher and fake iPhone 5S
I would like a launcher that is scaled properly for tablets and that is atleast slightly appealing to my eyes.
Also, is there a Cydia alternative for Android?
I use Nova launcher which gives a lot of flexibility. While I can't see why anyone would want an iOS theme on there (yes, tastes vary!), I did find several OS theme packs via a Google search. For example:
http://www.idroidspace.com/download-apple-ios-7-theme-for-android/
so there are a lot of third party launchers out there, what do you vote for as the best and why??
i currently use nova launcher but i want to try another launcher for my s5
Opt for launcher x
Latest Nova Launcher beta with Pixel style icon pack.
I like stock Pixel look better than Nexus look.

I am currently using CM 3d launcher. I have grown accustomed to using. I like when someone picks up my phone to try and find stuff it's hard cause they don't know where to look.
I'm using evie it is similar to ASAP launcher, I like the intuitive design compared with other launchers out there

I've tried many.... I keep going back to nova.... easiest and most customization....
Hello everybody,
I have a little question for you guys. Do you know if we can use icon pack without install an extern launcher like Nova ?<
Thanks !
No.
Unfortunately, no..... But, you can't go wrong with Nova launcher. I've had it for 4 or 5 years now, it's become the standard on all my phones from my Galaxy s3, to Galxy S7, to every HTC phone I've owned, to the Nexus 6P, to the Axon 7. Super customizable and light on resources and can kick out any bogged down stock launcher (like Touch-Wiz).
The stock launcher in the A7 isn't bad and is really close to stock....Which Nova can duplicate. I currently have mine set up to mimic the new (Google) Pixel launcher.
What apps from the pixel r u able too use so far ?

Apkmirror has the new Pixel 2 Launcher: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...ixel-launcher-p-4275643-android-apk-download/
According to this article: http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/1...-including-new-pixel-2-features-apk-download/ it works on any device with Android 5.0 or higher.
Edit: I finally found that it has already been posted. I searched before posting this, but apparently I didn't search good enough. Mods feel free to close this thread, and sorry.

I hadn't seen it until your post. Leave it up it really helped. Just installed it and I really like it on my Pixel.
Just installed on my N8. Pretty nice, I might leave it up for a little while. I've always been a Nova launcher guy.

I've not had any issues with it. I'm running stock Oreo on a Pixel XL though.

I installed this on a Nexus 5x and it works just fine. Though it is "stock" android so should be less fussy.
I really hate that the search bar is not removable and neither is the calendar widget. Although it is on 7.1.2 so maybe on Oreo I could change something in settings. I also hate that the screens don't loop around, since I've been using Apex launcher and have used Nova before also.
The tiny icons in the app drawer and the search function is way overdue. Even if I know the name of an app, I'll often miss it from flipping through the ton of app drawer screens too quickly. I can go through the tiny icons visually a whole lot faster.
There are definitely some useful features that I hope others pull into their launchers.
Edit: Doesn't work on my Note 4 on 6.0.1 stock.
Can someone please post and share the latest version of the Pixel Launcher. The one on APKMirror is that of the initial version. Went to my local Best Buy and played around with the Pixel 2 phones there and both had a newer launcher version. I believe it started with 8.1-something.

Here you go. Looks the same so far as I can tell.

Installed it on rooted stock 8.0, pixel XL. Force close. Inconvenient.
So this is apparently a really popular request, but for some reason it's I guess impossible? I only see stuff like Rootless Pixel Launcher and lawn chair and stuff. Why is it different and possible to port a whole pixel ROM and difficult to port just the Launcher?
Honestly I just want the dynamic app suggestions google added in android 11. Anyone know a way to get those without a legit pixel Launcher?

I guess as the launcher isnt just the launcher, it's probably linked to the ROM.
I agree I love that launcher it's rapid and just works. Lacking some options though.
There was a launcher baked into AOSIP which was extremely similar but I've never been able to find it and can't remember the name, lol sorry not much help that but it'll be listed in the AOSIP threads on XDA, might be an easier task than obtaining the pixel launcher.
I've been unable to get one that works myself too.
Not seen any success for this port...
