So I just installed the latest Hydrogen OS launcher on my 3T (OOS) and I saw that the built-in default search engine is BAIDU (since Hydrogen OS is China's alternative for Oxygen OS and Google is banned there as I understood).
Can somebody help me editing the apk to change it to google search?
I downloaded APK Editor but I couldn't find much about the search engine (since I'm not experienced that much in this kind of stuff)
Is it even possible? It should be right? since that is just configured by some code strings in the apk file.
Why don't just install OnePlus Launcher?

I like simple minimalist launchers. It's the perfect launcher for me.
Besides it's not an issue for me but it would be nice if the search engine would be changeable.

Simple TWRP recovery script that uninstall the following default CM apps (nothing wrong with this apps just personal pref):
1) AudioFX (makes my speaker's volume really low)
2) CMFileManager ( i prefer root explorer)
3) DownloadProviderUi (app that just show download folder)
4) Eleven (default music app)
5) Gello (default browser)
6) Stk (SIM info app)
All apps are safe to remove.
Just install .zip via TWRP recovery and reboot.
Every time i installed a new cm build, i had to manually removed this apps, so i made a automation script.
Hope its useful to somebody else!
I'm trying to make this script interactive, asking the user for confirmation at every app before deleting, but i cant find the documentation to do this. Can someone give me a hint?
thx!
Pogui
EDIT: Added new cleaner script for LineageOS 14.1
this is what I was looking for, cause i'm too lazy to delete them 1 by 1 from system.
but hey dude could you make it as installer too, i means I want to replace stock cm14.1 app with google app with zip.
(e.g replace:
stock calendar with google calendar
stock clock with google clock
stock calculator with google calculator
stock dialer with google dialer
stock contact with google contacts
stock keyboard with google keyboard
remove trebuchet & add pixel launcher
) could you make it dude?

Sure, working on it. I think i can make it interactive too (select which apps to remove/replace). It's there a problem if i use openGapps builds binaries to make this?

Hi, Ive been using this since release. THANKS!
With unofficial Lineage OS builds rolling out, can we expect a version for it?
Id love a version that removes the default launcher as well.
Ive never did any coding myself, but Id like to know how to maintenance a script like that. Is there a decent tutorial normal folks can understand?

So hello guys welcome to the guide to how install google pixel launcher working and tested bug free.
So lets get started,
Required:
1. Any Android 5.0 + device
2. Working internet
3. Rooted ot Non rooted [ works with both device]
So first let us understand what is a pixel launcher. Pixel launcher is a launcher which is used in google pixel devices. Running on android nougat. So if you ever see it its too amazing launcher ever. I have also tested and its bug free. In earlier verison it was only working with android marshmallow device. But now you can use it on android lollipop cheers to google for bringing happiness to lollipop device users. So you can easily enjoy pixel style to your device.
So this process doesn't require root so non root users can use it without worrying about warranty loss or any damage to your device proceed to the installation guide.
So its not a different app normally install it as you do with other app installing but keep unown source ok in your device. Also make sure that install wallpaper app before because if you dont you will get error pixel launcher stopped when you try to change the wallpaper that beacuse wallpaper app is the theme manger of pixel launcher. So if it not installed app will crash while changing wallpaper. Also make sure download latest version from the link. But dont download this version of google pixel launcher named as :
Pixel Launcher O-3743572 (READ NOTES) this version of app is used in android o preview. So this app will not work on lollipop devices so try older than this app.
Credits:
Google ( for making pixel launcher)
Apk miror ( for giving option to download it )
Me ( for explaining how to do it)
Download links :
1. Google pixel launcher:

2. Wallpaper app by Google:

Don't forget to hit thanks if you like this. Thank you.
Pixel icon issue.
But remember all this will make your device look like pixel not everything beacuse you app icons remains the same. So if you want to change them same as pixel you need android 7.1 device it will not work on lollipop or marshmallow device so of you have nougat device then just download this and install it as normal apk. You are done this app is a offical app not a clone or dummy or my own app so if you have any problem you can ask me i will reply it ASAP. Thankyou

Hello!
I got a new Android 8.1 Smartphone.
In my older with Android 4.1.2 I had the App "Appdrawer", which is not available for 8.1
It was an alphabetic scrollable list with the App-names as text of all installed Apps
and I could choose from to start one.
Do you know an App to do this with Android 8.1 ?
(but not a new launcher)
Or is it possible to realize this with tasker?
Thank you for your tips
Erhy

Not a new launcher? Wrong idea, change it if it current using don't answer to your needs. With it's possible, but does your current launcher can create an icon to run a task from tasker? Do easy :switch the launcher
Hi, can someone upload the theme engine, theme store and swipe navigation APK from the Chinese model? That would be great because the International model doesn't have this. Thank you.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid&hl=tr you can use this app for swipe navigation bar and i use C Launcher its better than chinese launcher
No Microsoft launcher is best

Without unlock bootloader u can't add navigation gesture permanently.
Use Fluid NG navigation, simple ADB command with better gestures and customization than even Pie has too offer; without root or unlocked bootloader. And any launcher is better than Quickstep lol.
Substratum themes work great on this phone, if you decide to root. I'm personally using this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brit.swiftblack.layers&hl=en

Can you elaborate on this? Sources, tutorials, etc.? I'm interesting in trying.
Google Play Store search Fluid NG, upon installing it will tell you the ADB command, if you're rooted just Grant and you're gtg....if not then need to do ADB....tap build number 7 times enable USB debugging. I use Niagra launcher from play store too it's in beta but I like the clean Android experience. Also you can install Google Dialer version 31 apk works great except call screening atm.
Why has nobody with the Chinese version done this yet?
Instead of giving Google-like, completely off subject answers...
"My fav launcher is..." something nobody asked.

I put the Theme_Apk.zip file on the following link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MY2rJWLPa-wudzIakrN7eb3EFWj9LNe1/view?usp=sharing
You need to put the folder nubia_Thememanager in the system/priv-app folder and the folder thememanager in the system/media/theme folder. However I flash the global rom and try this but the theme engine does not work. You can try it and tell me what else are needed for the theme to work. I am now back to the CN rom.
anyone successfully port china rom theme into global?
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.
