Most Important Notes

  • Try this on some Pixel Gapps Roms to make sure every feature works perfectly. On Vanilla Roms all the features may not work even if you flash the gapps. If some features don't work on Vanilla/’Not Good GApps Build Rom’ then you can check Troubleshooting No. 2 Below.
  • Before flashing the launcher module update all Google related apps from play store. It will make all the launcher's features work perfectly.
  • If you are using the previous version of my mod then you can directly flash the newer version without removing the previous version. After flashing turn off & on themed icons once to get new icons.
  • If you are using the QuickSwitch Module then remove it first. It conflicts with pixel launcher mod.
  • Google made some internal changes recently & due to that Latest Stable Version is crashing while interacting with some widgets, on May 2022 and below security patch. Use this mod launcher on june 2022 or above security patch for best experience.
  • Always keep the Bootloop Saver Module in the magisk. It will save you from bootloop if some module is causing a bootloop issue. Click Here To Download.


Variants Details

There are 4 different variants available. You will be able to choose the desired variant while flashing in magisk. There is a codename for each variant. Each variant has their pros & cons. So, make sure you read everything about them before asking in the discussion group.

  • Taweret It consists of Themed Icons Packs, Smoothness Tweaks, Pixel Launcher MODS App  & Subtle changes in search results. It doesn’t have Extra Grids. This is the smoothest launcher variant among all the variants. If you ever faced icon size or padding related bugs in other variants then this variant is for you.
  • Horus It consists of all the mod features mentioned in Features List except Double Tap To Sleep. everything will work perfectly on this.
  • Khonsu It consists of all the mod features mentioned in Features List with Seamless Double Tap To Sleep. On this variant double tap to sleep feature will work as soon as you enable it from settings. However, This Seamless Dt2s feature doesn't work on every rom & on some roms when you double tap then launcher crashes. Why did it crash for you? Because some roms have their own signature key and this variant is using aosp signature & dt2s require the same signature in rom. That's the reason it works perfectly in unofficial EvoX & EvoX Official Unsigned Build but it crashes in EvoX Signed Build.
  • Ammit If the above mentioned Khonsu Variant's Double Tap To Sleep isn't working for you then use this variant.  It consists of all the mod features mentioned in the Features List with Double Tap To Sleep. On this variant double tap to sleep feature will work when you enable it from accessibility settings.


Cons Of Double Tap To Sleep Variant

Cons On Android 12

  • The lens icon on google search bar(Homescreen) won't work. Weather widget in 'At a Glance' widget (below calendar/date) won't launch google weather app. Weather details & all the features of "At A glance" will work without any issue.


Cons On Android 12L

  • Weather widget in 'At a Glance' widget (below calendar/date) won't launch google weather app. Weather details & all the features of "At A glance" will work without any issue. Lens icon will work perfectly.


Installation

  • Remove any other launcher, keep only default launcher that came with rom
  • Download Launcher
  • Flash Pixel Launcher Mod in magisk & select desired variant while flashing using volume keys. Select desired themed icons pack & icons shape after choosing variant. While installing you can select other tweaks too. Make sure you read everything while installing. Note: You will have to manually scroll the page in magisk while flashing. It’s magisk related bug. I can’t do anything from my end.
  • Reboot Device
  • Set Default Home to Pixel Launcher


Uninstallation

  • Simply remove the module from magisk & it will bring back your stock launcher.


Uninstallation Related Troubleshooting

After removing from magisk & rebooting, you will get the original stock launcher back which came with rom. However, In some rare cases you don’t get the original launcher. So, Do this. Use any root explorer(MixPlorer Recommended). Go to /data/system/package_cache/(random folder with alphabets & numerals). Delete this random folder & reboot device. You will get the stock launcher back.


Troubleshooting

  1. If you are facing flickering issue on Homescreen then go to Settings>Apps>Default Apps>Home App and select Pixel Launcher again.
  2. Weather Widget on "At A Glance" or "Select Feature" of Pixel Launcher is not working? Then try updating Google App, Google Play Services, Android System Intelligence (ASI), Android System Webview, Google Calendar, Google Lens and all other Google apps from PlayStore. If your roms doesn't have these apps then install them from play store or apkmirror. I will suggest you to use those roms that have pixel gapps by default.
  3. Still “Weather Widget”, “Select Feature” or Other Pixel Launcher Features like “Universal Search'' aren't working? or you are facing launcher crash issue then Download Add-On No. 1 From Here. It contains Android System Intelligence(Which will fix all these issues).
  4. Not getting Android 12L Style Wallpaper Preview? Set some random wallpaper first then you will get the new wallpaper preview.
  5. If your rom has their own implementation of Monet/"Material You" for example Crdroid Rom and it's interfering with Pixel Launcher's Monet & Material You isn't working properly due to it and it's not changing color according to wallpaper. Then follow this:
    a. Download Latest Termux From Here. Open it & Type:  su and give it root access.
    b. Now Type: settings delete secure theme_customization_overlay_packages & press enter. After finishing this process, reboot the device once. It should fix the issue. Thanks to @kdrag0n & @xenxynon for this solution. Tested on Crdroid 8.3 by @NOUREHAB79.
  6. If you don't see any new features after flashing successfully then probably you might have installed & updated Pixel Launcher via APK in the past. Go to Settings>Apps>See All Apps and open the 3 dot menu, click Show system. Search Pixel Launcher & uninstall updates of it from the 3 dot menu.
  7. You enabled “Hide Clock” from the Pixel Launcher Mods app? And now the clock isn't returning after disabling it. Follow the instructions given in this video.
  8. Pixel Launcher keeps restarting or DT2S accessibility settings keeps disabling(Ammit Variant) then it’s due to Pixel Launcher Mods App. Do this, Open Pixel Launcher Mods App. Go to More > Seamless Restart & Choose “Disabled”.
  9. If Pixel Launcher Mods app is running in background and taking lots of ram or pixel launcher is lagging then open Pixel Launcher Mods app. Go to More > Seamless Restart & Choose "Disabled".
  10. If you don't see Newer Themed Icons we added recently then go to Launcher's Wallpaper & Style Settings & turn off Themed Icons. Go back to Homescreen and now turn on Themed Icons again. This will delete old icon's cache and will fix all themed icons related issues.
