[APP] Google Pixel C Launcher (7.1.2) - Nexus 5 Themes and Apps

GOOGLE PIXEL C LAUNCHER (7.1.2 Update)
Pixel Launcher 7.1.2
This Is Not My Work, Just Passing It Along For Those Interested
Install At Your Own Risk
Android 7.1.2 beta 2 has started rolling out for Pixel and Nexus devices bringing older devices some new features. The Pixel C was the 1st to receive the beta update. The Pixel Launcher features a brand new multitasking interface that makes multi-window management a bit more natural and altogether better looking. Insiders say this is a peek at upcoming features offered with Android O. You can swipe to the right to reveal the Google Now Feed, and swipe up from anywhere on the home screen to pull up the app drawer. You'll also notice that any icon that is compatible with Google's latest design guidelines will be circular to match the circular folder style, and include long-press actions if the developer supports them.
The Recents menu and Multi-Window Management is different. Tapping the Recents button will reveal a large set of tiles that no longer overlap or scroll. You get up to eight mini previews of the most recently used apps, and can tap on them to jump into that app or tap an X to close it. When you long-press an app, you'll now have the option to drag it to the left or right edge to start the multi-window interface. The rest of the available apps then shrink down over to the opposite side to launch in the other half of the screen to complete the look.
* Download Attached File
* Using A File Explorer With Root Access Move The File To System/Apps. (You could also try System/Priv Apps but I followed Google's guide and installed in Sys/Apps) - And Set Permissions To rw-r--r-- (0644 Octal)
* Reboot And Set The New Pixel Launcher As Default. You Shouldn't Need To Remove Existing Launcher.

*Note: The Pixel C is a tablet. A friend with a Nexus 5 says he adjusted DPI after installation & it works well. I haven't tried it yet so I can't comment on it working on the Hammerhead. I Installed it on a tablet to try it and it works/looks great. Try this app at your own risk.

how would we go about changing the dpi for it

adb shell wm density DPI (replace "DPI" with the number such as 480, 320 or any of your choice) & make back up before messing around. You could use cmd from your computer or terminal on your phone. Restart after applying.

[HowTo][7"] Tablet UI (and MORE!) on Stock JB Based (up to 4.1.2 only)

I must say that the new official JB from Samsung is a great rom, really snappy and beautiful, but my enjoyment of it has been hampered (until now!) with the silly "phablet" interface and its ridiculous placement of buttons, etc. The flashable mods kicking around on the forum do not work for me on this build, and have their own caveats anyway...
So... A new way:
First let me say that this method is a little tedious but the final results are well worth it IMO.
*If you want the quickest, easiest TabletUI on rooted stock then see this post*
Secondly, I will not be responsible for any damage to your device. The modifications work for me. You use them at your own risk.
Ok. Now what you'll all want to see! Here are several thousand words worth of pictures:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So how did I do this you ask? Well my friends come along and I'll explain.
First my device info: P3113 running stock 4.1.1 from here, rooted with CF-Auto-root and running official CWM 6.0.2.3.
**This should work for anyone with a P31XX tablet running a rom with a stock samsung JB kernel. (Probably won't have good results with a rom that has been heavily graphically modified already.)See confirmations below.**
Prerequisites:
Your device Must be rooted and have busybox. (Edit: Having a backup launcher installed before you start is a good idea in case TouchWiz craps out temporarily)
1> We are going to install the Xposed Framework. Follow these instructions completely(steps 1-6) and if you want check out the original thread here and don't forget to thank these guys as all the credit goes to them!
Don't be afraid that this was originally for the GSII it works perfectly on my Tab 2.
2> Now that you have the Xposed framework all set up run Xposed App Settings and navigate to Touchwiz Home, select it and in the next window enable the toggle in the top right to allow modification of its properties. Now set the DPI to 160, leave the other options, click save, then yes.
3> Follow the process in 2> to set Google Play Store to 160 DPI. (This is important. We are going to change the system DPI and this will kinda break Play Store otherwise!)
4> Using your method of choice edit your build.prop. Modify this entry and only this entry:
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=160
to read:
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=133
5> Now reboot your device (I also wiped cache/dalvik but I don't think its necessary).
I don't think you should have any of the issues i did with Touchwiz. But if you do have it FC repeatedly you can do like I did: used Search gesture from home screen (swipe up from buttons back/home/etc) searched for Nova Launcher and installed via Play Store, opened, tapped "Just Once" when asked about default launcher. Then killed Touchwiz App, wiped its cache/data and rebooted then set Touchwiz as default again.​6> Disable the Quick launch softkey by Settings/Display/Quick launch. This is to avoid graphical overlap in portrait mode, but it is purely cosmetic and you can keep quick launch active if you prefer. (If you want to instead remove the mini app launcher arrow check out this post. Thanks ketut.kumajaya!) Also you may want to set large font by Settings/Display/Font Size.
7> Go through your apps 1 by 1 to see if they look alright with the 133 DPI or if you need to revert to the default 160. Follow the procedure in step 2> for each app you wish to change. For some system apps (Settings for example) you will need to reboot for the changes to take effect.
8> Enjoy your tablet again! And you can even have some fun playing around with app-specific DPI settings. You may find, like I did, that you prefer almost all of your apps in the 133 DPI mode, ie Gmail, Youtube, Contacts, Calendar, Maps, Browser, Settings.
Some additional info:
As an added bonus with Xposed App Settings you can now control the screen DPI and size for almost any application independently of the system/OS. This means that in some cases you can use an app in either tablet or phone mode and use the different resources for each! Have fun playing around with applications and get them tweaked to your preference!
If you want to you can adjust the DPI for System UI. This can get you larger system buttons and notifications/shade. However the width of the nav bar does not scale with the buttons so there are graphical inconsistencies.
Don't adjust any settings for Android System with Xposed as this will lead to System UI FC's (which are a pain in the ass!)
I have only tested this on Stock P3113UECLK7 but my gut tells me that this procedure should work on all 7" Tab 2's running stock. You will just have to be brave like I was and try it out for yourself!
Update: working on P3100 as well(thanks sozofriend1234!)
Update: working on P3110! Thanks haller!
Update: working (and looking sweet!) on kwbr espresso 3110! Thanks artoner974!
Update: Working with KK-Boot Custom Boot Image! Big thanks to karaern for being brave and trying this! (I was too chicken myself, but I am running it now and it is Awesome! Thanks ketut.kumajaya for KK!)
FYI, I set the following additional apps to 160 DPI:
Camera (necessary, I think)
Polaris Office (highly recommended)
Peel Smart Remote (highly recommended)
Internet (put it back because quick control was just too small)
MiniTaskcloserService (fixes transparent line through popup task closer!)
Photo Editor (Had an FC while editing that went away after I set it bak to 160)
Probably some other system apps need to be changed but I have a lot of them frozen or uninstalled.
Update: Using Xposed App Settings, set System UI to 134 DPI and reboot, to make your notification shade (popup) look like it should...
...again! (notice the filled bar for screen brightness, "indicator lights" under power control toggles)
Update: Check this post to see how to get back ALL the filled slider bars!(ie: volume popup indicator)
The only graphical irregularities I see are the mini apps dock being funny looking/cut in landscape and small mini app launcher arrow. (*if you use the filled slider fixes here)
Check out my 170 Dpi TouchWiz! I think it fills the screen nicely at this scale.
Get the Split or Floating keyboard from the Tab2 10.1! Check this post!
Update: Now that you have Xposed Framework running on your device there are other modules besides Xposed App Settings that you have at your disposal. Check them out right here. I am currently using the Alternate App Picker from here. It replaces the popup that asks about default apps which in JB requires you to tap "Just Once" every time with the one from ICS that just has the "Default" tick box! Install any modules like with Xposed App Settings, ie: Install apk, then enable it in Xposed Framework Installer and reboot. :highfive:
Edit: Changed the recommended dpi setting for build.prop from 130 to 133. This is the highest you can set it and keep the tablet ui and,to me, it just seems like everything looks good at this setpoint. Updated Screens with 133 dpi.
I did this and now Touchwiz now force closes, I have the 3113. Any suggestions?

The same thing happened to me the first time I booted but I had not set the DPI for TouchWiz to 160 with Xposed App Settings. Make sure that you set the DPI value to 160 for touchwiz (once you have another launcher temporarily installed) then wipe cache/data for TouchWiz, reboot and then activate Touchwiz again.

I guess I didn't look to see if the setting was there before the dpi change. But it was definitely there after I had the tablet UI running. Do you have the extra (4th) button on the nav bar all the time? I don't know what to tell you if the screenshot button is there but not the option to set it. You could maybe try to set the dpi of the Settings apk to 160dpi with Xposed App Settings, reboot and see if it shows up then.
Edit: The option is not there until you have tablet ui active.
Clearing the data from touchwiz worked, thanks!

Hi,
I have 3100 on stock 4.1.1 but I could not install the zip file in step 1 using CWM. 1st the sig verification failed and after that warning the installation aborted. Disabled the sig verification as well but the installation aborts as soon as it starts. :crying::crying::crying:
Any help would be much appreciated. :good:
Got it working by installing the APK attachment from original thread. Thanks a ton.
Can you please help me with the dpi settings for the phone app please. As I made the settings for phone to be 160 dpi but it still shows a bit compressed.

I am glad that you got it working! :good: Unfortunately My device does not have calling/wireless so I do not have a visible phone app to expiriment on. Possibly setting the dpi to 160 and set the screen resolution (with the drop down list next to dpi in Xposed App Settings) to 600x1024? Sorry but other than that I think you will just have to expiriment yourself. Good luck :fingers-crossed:.
PS Good to know that this will work on devices other than p3113. Thanks for diving in and trying it out!
The Xposed Framework is a very powerfull mod with add on modules available allowing you to control many facets of your device. Check out the updated first post to learn more, including how to get the ICS style default app picker screen and never tap "Just Once" again!!
Updated screen shots to reflect 133 screen density.

I hadn't noticed before but you are right; the volume indicator popup doesn't have the filled bar like it should! I will look into this... but don't hold your breath because I bet that is part of systemui...:fingers-crossed:
Good job thanks

So... I can get the volume bar to light up by increasing the dpi of Android System... but doing this breaks System UI so you have no buttons or notification area. Sorry, I don't see a fix coming for that.
See down a couple posts!
But! You can get the filled slider back for screen brightness in the notification shade by setting System UI to 134 dpi with xposed app settings!:laugh: going to add this to first post
I like TouchWiz. But it always bothered me how much of the screen it wasted, left completely blank except for wallpaper.
Well I decided to take that space back! (Some of it anyway!!) :silly:
Say Hello to TouchWiz @ 170 DPI:
If you want this then use the method in the first post to set TouchWiz Home to DPI: 170 with Xposed App Settings. Preempt Touchwiz's FC by using the link to settings for TouchWiz in the top corner of Xposed App Settings to clear data and Force Stop TouchWiz Home. (after saving your changes in Xposed of course)
Also, if you update Xposed Installer and Xposed App Settings you can set the font scale on a per app basis! In the pictures above TouchWiz is set to 120%.
Anyone Feel Like Sliders??
Scratch that last about not being able to get this
back!
To get back your volume pop filled slider you must do this:
1. Using newest version (0.2 now) of Xposed Application Settings; Set System UI to 134 DPI and set Screen (dp,px): to 800x1280 and Save. (you can tick xlarge res also, not sure if it makes a dif. and not necessary)
2. Use Xposed A.S. to set Android System to 134 DPI and Save. (xlarge res optional again)
3. Reboot. (With the option to wipe cache/dalvik)
Just be prepared for the regular TouchWiz nonsense, but I think I avoided it!
Now the "cost" of this change is that the Mini App Laucher Dock ends up looking like this in landscape:
Weird spacing and shifted right and cut of 3/4's of the way across the screen.
Plus the Mini App Launcher arrow that resides on the nav bar shrinks
I actually see this as a positive though!
Also as a result of setting System UI to 800x1280 you will get the following improved appearances (in addition to the vol slider):
Improved Portrait Mini App Launcher appearance;
and Improved Notification Shade appearance (larger text/better icons);
Now, for my next trick... Every Other Filled Slider I could find!
There are a couple in Settings. First Settings/Sound/Volume:
and Second, Settings/Display/Brightness:
To get these back you need to use Xposed A.S. to set Settings DPI to 134, Save and reboot(/kill settings)!*
And, Last but definitely not least Task Manager has a filled slider in the RAM manager tab:
(and 2 other ones in the Storage tab, not pictured, that this fixes too!)
To see these bars again use our best friend Xposed App Settings to set Task manager to 134 DPI and Save. Done.*
*As a side note you could set Settings and/or Task manager anywhere from 134 to 160 DPI, if you prefer the larger "stock" appearance, and still have the filled slider bar.
Enjoy! :victory:

[Q] paranoid android feb 19 mako -> resize launcher issue?

Hi,
im using paranoid android build 19th feb with matr1x kernel on the nexus 4.
So far so good. Thanks to the developers.
I noticed something strange when I resize the "Launcher"
using the following settings
Size: 220p | Layout/UI: 360
I got a densely populated app drawer.
but the desktop is still limited to 5 icons width.
Not sure how can i maximise the usable screen as its only 6 apps wide.
Its strange that the app drawer scales nicely but the desktop is not scaled automatically.
The other thing I noticed is that when I run @ the following settings
Size: 220p | Layout/UI: 720p
The taskbar is correct but the area of the desktop overflows (doesnt display all icons as its outside the screen) until i put it lower.. eg.. below 190.
As the layout is controlled by the screen boundary, should the scaler function first check if the usable area is out of the physical boundary & accordingly limit the size so that it doesn't go out of the screen?
Hey man,
first of all I can see you are new here, but on the first page of the Q&A section is a thread called: ParanoidAndroid Help Thread and FAQ
which you can find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1969377.
It would probably be a better idea to post the question there, instead of creating a new one.
To answer your question, if you want to change the number of apps visible on the homes screen or in app drawer, you need to change it in launcher settings. I'm not sure if the stock PA launcher has this ability, so I would recommend trying Apex or Nova launcher, where I know for 100% it is possible.
Playing with DPIs and Layout UI doesn't always give you what you want, so try different combinations of those 2 to find a perfect one for you. For example i have my Hybrid properties set for 270 DPI and Phablet UI (600p) for workspace and Global apps Phone (360p) for both sys anduser apps. Other apps will be set automatically, but you can change your launcher settings by going to Hybrid Properties - Apps - Nova Launcher (on my nexus). I have it set for 270DPI and 360p and all looks great. You cen set you desktop grid in nova to 12/12 so you will have maaaany icons there Have fun with the best rom for Necus 4

Multi Window Tutorial

A while ago someone posted a thread about Remix OS which really made me think how good that would be. Unfortunately as we can see development for this device is next to 0 so i decided make this guide for anyone who might want to have a similar experience on a stock rooted rom with xposed.
***I DID NOT MAKE ANY OF THESE APPS, I JUST ZIPPED THOSE THAT I USE AND MADE THIS TUTORIAL SO THOSE THAT WANT THIS DONT NEED TO SEARCH EVERYWHERE TO FIND THEM***
***The xhalomultiwindow beta app was found near the end of the xhalomultiwindow thread and the sidebar is from another thread on XDA and all credits for the apps go to their creators***
Firstly ... there are bugs like sometimes something will force close or some apps might freak out a bit when being resized in the floating mode and not scale properly but it works in my opinion well enough for every day use.
With this tutorial i assume that you have xposed installed and running. If you dont, just do a fast google search for *xposed for lollipop 64 bit* or something similar and you will find it on XDA.
1. Download the zip in this post and extract with 7zip
2. Install the Xhalofloatingwindow-beta apk
3. Activate module in Xposed installer and reboot
4. Install the sidebar apk
5. Run the Toggle MultiWindowSidebar app from your app drawer(this should make a arrow in a white semi circle show up on the right side of the screen-the sidebar)
6. Run the MultiWindowSidebar app from the app drawer and enable start on boot and keep service in background. Here you also add in the apps you want to have and choose how they open if you drag them or tap them from the sidebar. I have it set in Drag Launch Mode to XhaloFloatingWIndow Portrait (landscape has weird scaling) and in Tap Launch Mode to Default which will open the app like normal android would
7. Open xHaloFloatingWindow from the app drawer and in the Popup WIndow menu set the Popup Dim to 0% (it is a matter of personal taste but i like it more this way with no dimming)
8. On the next page (swipe right to movable and resizeable) enable the switch and here you can play around a bit with the settings and set them as you like
9. Do a reboot just for good measure, it probably isnt needed but i did it anyway.
10. Have fun and dont try to kill me if something freaks out because you made the window 1x1cm
Another app that works nicely with this but is totally standalone is OGyoutube, while you can use normal youtube with this the OG app also allows playing in background downloading and playing with the screen off so i would highly recommend it.
Thanks for sharing! I'll play round with this
Another screenshot of Hill Climb Racing running in one window, Adblock Browser in another window while Moonlight streaming runs in the background at 1080p 60fps (the stream keeps working with apps over it but you might need to disable App Pausing in XhaloFloatingWindow app)

[GUIDE]Pixel appearance on MIUI(Google Assistant, Multi-window Apps and more..)

MUST READ
First of all I am mentioning the device conditions upon which this guide was worked on. So make sure you have these too for avoiding any unnecessary conflicts.
Unlocked Bootloader for device
MIUI 7.1.12 Global Beta(Android 7.0)
Root Access and preferably SuperSU 2.79SR3
Just the three mentioned above, no mods, no tweaks
Play Store links to all the apps mentioned is present below
MULTI-WINDOWED APPS
Enable Developer options
Tick 'Force activities to be resizable'
Reboot
Install 'Taskbar' from Play Store
Open and allow permission to draw over screen
Goto Recents Tab and allow usage access to Taskbar
Change update rate to '6' and Max. recent apps to '13'
Enable FreeForm Mode and leave rest to default
Now, Clear everything from recents and start multitasking.
You can only open non-MIUI apps in windowed mode. They can be resized and opened in fullscreen.
Note - MIUI Browser works but you need to clear it after every session i.e you cannot minimize and continue your last session. Chrome works fine though
That's it.
GOOGLE ASSISTANT ON VOICE
Install 'Get Assistant' app from Play Store
Open, Grant root access and other permissions
Tap on 'Get Assistant' and select Legacy mode
Once installed, clear Google app cache and search data
Exit and reboot
Say 'OK Google'
Done
EXTRAS
For the Pixel Pill widget use the app of the same name from Play Store.
Get the Pixel themed Play Store and GBoard using Substratum Engine and Pixel UI Theme. Other things don't work as you already know.
So that was all, guys. Hope it successfully works out for you too. Feels amazing to see these things work on MIUI. Lastly, you may add the Pixel Earth Live wallpaper to complete the package.

(GUIDE) Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini Value Edition Customizations - AOSP Nougat Style

Hello Everyone!
In the present year. I see that the development of roms for this terminal is too low, we only have 2 Cyanogenmod roms that continue today in bootloop, despite the efforts of some contributors in this forum. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...om-s-iii-mini-value-edition-gt-i8200-t3432885
Not to mention that there are other roms that are only modifications to the system, based on Samsung's own touchwiz, in that version, jellybean, which as we know, is not compatible with many applications of Google play today. Therefore, I have spent some time developing modifications that can improve the appearance of the user interface of this terminal, based on the Stock System, so as not to have to resort to the "roms" that would deviate a bit in performance..
Compatibility:
GT-I8200N/L/Q
Requirements:
TWRP or Philz Touch Recovery
Root
REMEMBER TO DO A BACKUP OF YOUR SYSTEM IF SOMETHING WENT WRONG ON THE INSTALLATION
First, install this deodexed rom, because we need a lot of free space in the system partition. You can find the zip file here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-mini/general/rom-deodex-rom-goldenvess-3gxx-t2990545
Remember to say thanks to the developer
Next, install Baroni kernel with odin, that is alocated in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-mini/general/kernel-baroni-kernel-alpha-t2976241
Next, just start the system with normality, complete the setup wizard, here we start
We need the following apps for this
Solid Explorer (I reccomend this app, but you can use any other Root Explorer)
Link2SD
Wait at least 10 minutes after the startup for the Google Play Services Update
In Solid Explorer (or any other) go to this path: /system/ and replace the build.prop with the file below, and restart. (After startup, a Android Update Notification shows, this happens because the build.prop makes Google Play Services think that we have a Pixel 3 XL, don´t install the update, or you want that the Earth explode? xD) This is useful for add compatibility for some Google apps that we have to install for the Google AOSP Style. Like Chrome, Earth, Messenger, Photos, Keep, etc.
Next, in Solid Explorer, go to /system/app/ folder, and delete the next packages (Avoid to delete the Touchwiz home, because we need it after):
All font packages
All Samsung Packages (except phone and contacts)
Bloatware apps

Now, with Link2SD integrate all installed apps in the /system partition.
Next, fully shutdown your phone for 5-10 minutes (I´m sure that the phone is to 2000ºC after all of that modifications xD)
Start your phone and install Xposed Installer (Don´t worry, you can install Xposed like an AOSP phone, because this touchwiz variant doesn´t have much differences)
Before restarting after installation, download the following Modules:
Gravitybox (JB)
Wanam Xposed (Jellybean)
Monster UI
DroidTint
Remember to activate this modules after rebooting for save time, this process is too long, but, looks nice after all
After reboot, go to Gravitybox, in the status bar settings, go down and activate "Use lollipop signal icons", and up, in the status bar colors section, activate the "colored icons" option, and configure the icon color to white (#ffffff), next, in the start page, go to transparency settings and set all to 100%.
In Monster UI, set the primary and secondary colors to pure google blue (ff0076ff). In the framework settings, do the same with switchers, checkboxes, progressbar and seekbar. And finally, in SystemUI TW settings, disable status bar icons; extended status bar, and recent panel (optional).
Finally, in Wanam Xposed, go to notification panel settings, and set the clock size to small, the default position is right, but if you want, you can set it to the left for a better look. And this is the good part, the notification panel personalization, really, it looks really nice
Go to theme settings
Set the header background color to dark gray (ff292929)
Use the same color for: Notification Background, Title Bar Background, Clear Button Background, Bar Color, Background Color and Tile Background Color
Use the white color (e5ffffff) for: Title Bar Text Color and Icon Color
Enable: Hide no notifications title bar, divider line and handle divider line.
Remember that in DroidTint you just disable the darker tint and that´s all.
Restart and enjoy you brand new system
Optional:
Copy the boot and shut animations from Pixel in /system/media/ that are located in the same link below.
