assistance with pixel launcher - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, had everything working as desired, received notification about the Nexus 6 7.1.1 update, installed it.
Re-rooted, re-added TWRP recovery, and all was back to normal.
Except the Pixel launcher. I forgot which version I was on, but everything worked as it should, swipe right, custom icon shapes, etc. It was previously installed as a system app (via root).
After updating to the 7.1.1 N8I11F build however the swipe right for pixel launcher would not work (expected). So, as I had done in the past I went to re-install Pixel launcher as a system app, however every .apk I tried returns corrupt message and will not install. Also, tried flashing an older package from recovery (TWRP) that would only cause the Pixel launcher to continuously crash. It is almost as if Google has blocked installing the Pixel launcher as a system app (for some odd reason). I am currently using one of the modded pixel launchers and all is working except for the custom icon shapes (I like to use teardrop).
So what I would like to know is if anyone has stock 7.1.1 N8I11F rooted with a Pixel launcher version that is fully working?? If so what version are you using, and how exactly were you able to install it?
TIA

[Q] GB stock launcher on CM7 kang

I am trying to install the GB stock launcher on CM7 but if I install it from recovery using the package found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933517
I am getting boot loop and if I try to install the apk which is removed from within that package, I am getting "Application not installed" message. Does anybody know how to install it?
What is the best way to install the stock launcher? I know that there are some in the market but those does not appear to offer any sort of settings? (eg. change number of home screens etc.)
Install it from Market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ebproductions.android.launcher
That is not the stock launcher, that is a 'modded' stock launcher. I tested it actually and it works much slower and uses more memory compared to the stock launcher. Not to mention, it is crashing... everything started working again after I removed it from my phone. (it makes you wonder, what else might be modified and why it is called 'stock launcher' when it is not).
I removed Launcher2.apk from Bugless Beast (V. GPA19) Android 2.3.7 ROM and it works much better.

[Q] Problem Stock Launcher

heyho. some days ago i flashed a moded xperia home from this forum, it was one of this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535413
well.. i cant explain why, but after the flashing the launcher was gone. i still have my go launcher
to get the launcher back, i installed it via an apk from this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504275
first, it works fine. i installed a xposed module to edit the snap-to-grid size and rebooted my phone, after this i was able to mod it. everything was fine until the next reboot -> my launcher was reseted. not the mods, like the s-t-g size. but all my "custom" widgets and icons were gone and was replaced by the defaults. that happens now after every reboot, no matter what i do.
can anyone help me to find a solution for this problem, without reflashing my XZ1, thats running stock 4.3 deadexd and rooted with recovery?
thx for the help

Nexus launcher

Hi, I've a short query, is the Nexus launcher built-in in the Android 7? I've used Nexus launcher leaked version and it is awesome, liked it a lot.just wondering if it comes with final Android build?
It's been rebranded Pixel launcher and will be exclusive to the new Pixel phones (officially) however I'm sure there will be ways to circumvent this.
I have a TWRP flashable version of it, with the new wallpaper app. You can set different lock and home screen wallpapers.

Anyone else having issues installing. I have tried to install since we recieved the official Android N update with no luck. I tried the nexus launcher as well as the pixel launcher. I even tried different versions of twrp and does the same thing. It says install was successful, but when phone is rebooted, the launcher is not installed

Funny thing, it doesn't seem to be a System/Home option. I flashed mine, and had to choose at reboot, but I don't see if I could change it back (not that I want to).
Edit: Okay, it's not under System/home any more, but in System/Apps, tap the settings gear.
That's what I was thinking as well. But unfortunately it does not even show up there. I am at a lost. Strange part was I had no issues on the developers preview
Also would like to mention, I even flashed the one from the link you provided. It flashes fine in two with no errors, but it does not install.
The update after dp5 is kinda fishy, it seems. Some have problems with the radio. I did a clean flash, then added SuperSu and the Pixel launcher, and it worked for me.
Yes that what i was thinking. I did not really want to root the phone. Which version of the root are you using?
SuperSu 1.78
Just asking out of curiosity. Why that version. I have not used superuser for a while, which is why i am asking. I see SuperrSu is at version 2.78?
Sorry, typo, it's the 2.78.
Just had a chance to flash it.... and it is working. That is pretty strange to say the least.
Is it worth flashing it? Just made a clean install of Stock NPD90 and didn't flash TWRP yet

Not really. It's just a launcher with no extra features. Unless you count the ability to set different wallpapers for the lock screen and the home screen a feature.
But it looks cool, and you get an extra fixed icon on the bottom.

So now advantage regarding the usage of Google Assistant from this launcher?
Nothing more than Google Tap already did.

So the launcher only works after flashing SuperSu? Just installed the Pixel Launcher via twrp but it doesn't show up
That was the only way I was able to get both the pixel and Nexus launcher to work on stock.
Obviously a mistype... V2.78r1 is the latest.

Edit: sorry, I see that I was responding to an old post, but the link may be useful anyway.
I saw in an XDA-TV video that you are supposed to be able to either display the clock or weather on the home screen. Has anyone found a way to switch it? I'm thinking it might only be a feature with the Pixel launcher on the Pixel phones.

Anyone get the new pixel/O launcher yet?

I installed dark eyes lineage ROM. Flashed his Gapps apps low and behold I had the new launcher.
I reinstalled the ROM into my primary slot and now it is gone.

Question [SOLVED] Can't reinstall system launcher on stock ROM

I accidentally uninstalled the system launcher using adb on my Realme 8i with locked bootloader, no root. My gesture navigation bar doesn't work (recent apps manager doesn't work), some of my settings disappeared. It's unusable like that. I haven't rebooted it because I'm afraid it will bootloop or get bricked. Can someone tell me how to fix this issue? I've tried installing the launcher apk from websites but they didn't work. I managed to decompile the firmware and get the launcher apk, but it's odexed. And it also has a .vdex file which I couldn't find anything about. I bought the phone 4 months ago and I use it as a daily driver. I really need help with fixing this.
