Pixel Launcher & Round Icons - Nexus 6 Themes and Apps

I recently installed the pixel launcher apk from apkmirror. I also decided to install the Pixel launcher icons. Although the installation was successful, yet I don't see any changes in the icons. I cleared the data of my pixel launcher still no round icons (just the stock ones that come with the launcher itself).
What could be the problem?

This should be posted in the Q&A thread instead. It's not that simple since it wasn't intended to be installed on the Nexus 6. You'll need to do some modifications. Try searching, here's a link I found for the issue. GL

samsung had removed that feature from the stock touchwiz launcher.. Only way to get it back is by using 3rd party launcher, like nova launcher..
Okay or edit the APK files?
If i know where i must search in the APK i can do this Change again.....

Thanks, i will contact the DEV how he make this changes @oluwaponmile
Did you ever figure this out? Trying to do the same thing.
Yes, oluwaponmile have made / give me a TW Launcher with infinite scrolling homescreen is working. I have the permission this launcher to integrate in my Stocky MOD (http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/development/mod-v1-0-stockymods-t3254588/) . Then everyone can flash it easy over the Custom Recovery. It coming soon (I think on the weekend)!

Uniform icon shape for all apps

Latest android 5.1.1 update for galaxy s6 has brought new uniform icon shape for all the samsung stock apps. It is nice but the problem is that other apps downloaded from the goole play store won't have the same icon shape and have its own icon shape that does not fit into the stock apps icons. If there is anyway to make all the apps (stock apps and 3rd party apps) to have the new icon shape present in the note 5 or latest 5.1.1, kindly post it here. I think that many users prefer having uniform icon shape.
With or without rooting. Thank you!

I agree...For now, the easy way is to install another launcher ( Nova prime or another ) with an icone pack ( many choice on Playstore )...

Yeah it's what I'm doing right now, downloading icon packs. I installed WizIconer. It needs root. It can apply theme pack installed without having to install a 3rd party launcher, just the stock TW launcher.

You can try a custom Rom like WanamLite or another who accept Xposed framework and then install a module ( I mean Unicon ) and it will be working. Look at this thread

More easy...Download "Icon Changer Free" from Playstore, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jy.iconchanger.ad&hl=fr , download an icon pack and you can apply the one you want on your home screen.
No root, free app, just a little time because you need to change the icons one by one...enjoy...
can't you apply a theme ? I use the material theme

Pixel C Launcher + Wallpaper Picker

Hey All
Wondering if anyone has had any luck with Wallpaper picker from the new Pixel Launcher ZIP located here:
http://llabtoofer.com/2016/09/12/pixel-launcher/
I've installed it on my 6P along with the picker but the picker just crashes whenever i try and change my wallpaper.
Cheers
I'm using the launcher and the picker and have no crashes.
I'm not using from the zip file I have the apks
how do we change the color of the app drawer??

Thanks for that! But still doesn't work I even tried the old Nexus launcher which came before Pixel Launcher and that doesn't even work! But again did work on my P9!
Maybe try a factory reset?

Cheers but if it came to that I'd just leave it. Spent all day setting this thing up haha. Was hoping there was something simple I was missing...shouldn't need a factory reset anyway as the phone is brand new and I only got it this morning
I want to like the pixel launcher but you can't make folders in the app drawer and you can't hide apps either. I'm not rooted and I don't want to root so until Google think to implement these features I'll be giving the pixel launcher a miss...
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app
Put launcher in /system/priv-app/NexusLauncherPrebuilt/NexusLauncherPrebuilt.apk, picker to /system/app/WallpaperPickerGooglePrebuilt/WallpaperPickerGooglePrebuilt.apk, set the correct permissions to folder and apk and restart.

Ya guess you would not need a reset
wow. Thank you for the APKs. Both work great on Android 7 , Stock and Lock Bootloader.
Well this is odd! I'm already on Nougat (official latest build) as I say but this morning I got a small 40MB update stating that it fixed bugs. I installed it, I then installed the Pixel Launcher and Wallpaper Picker and this time they both worked fine!

I'm also using Nova, works perfectly.
Anyway do this:
Install Google Now Launcher
Tap home button and it will ask to set default launcher.
If incase it doesn't then goto default launcher app setting and clear defaults.
Then tap the Home button again.
Is any one using Snapchat in Moto E4 plus? Coz I am having lag in Snapchat.
Why google now launcher when you have the pixel launcher..
Ok , i found a solution similar to your problem . Open Google app Info and clear data and cache and force stop , again open launcher info and do the same reboot and all should be good you will be able to Replace the stock Launcher from that to google Now Launcher

How to apply 3rd party themes?

My main frustration with Miui is not being able to theme it myself, I don't like any of those themes in the store.
I applied for designer in their website but my theme has been waiting to be approved by them for like 3 months now.
I've tried several workarounds, like the force close method (Doesn't works for me I'm on Miui 12.0.6 Btw) and the theme editor from playstore (Works but reverts to stock after a while).
EU roms have a fix for this but there's no EU roms for this device, screw MediaTek.
I have root access via magisk and the unofficial twrp as recovery, is there anything I can do to install a theme permanently?

I just looked it up, only works for Miui 11 and is paid.
Also, even though it is restricted, I prefer Miui theme engine, it is very customizable and system wide. That's the main reason I haven't switched to Lineage Os, I've heard custom app icons only apply to launcher in Lineage Os (No custom icon in recents or settings apps tab)
Did you download the Swift Installer? Because it will support every phone after you install it will cost some money but you can download apk
MIUI themes are in MTZ format, You can either import them in theme store, or apply them through an app named "Theme editor for MIUI".
Keep in mind since there's no proper support for third party themes, they get reseted after some time and the phone returns back to stock theme.
So for now either you enjoy your theme for a few hours and it resets, or try to get it on the MIUI Theme store.
