In android Pie the Pixel launcher is quite deeply integrated with the "muktitasking" (you know, when you swipe up to see recent apps, I don't know how to call it) I think, so the only way you have to use it is to install a simplified version, without the recent apps function (there was a post on the XDA frontpage some time ago).
If you really want the Pixel feeling, I suggest you to try the Official PixelExperiemce ROM for our device, it's awesome.

[zip] (o-preview) pixel launcher - not a full pixel mod

This is just a simple zip to bring the Pixel Launcher to the O-Preview. This is not a full Pixel Mod. This is the Pixel Launcher from the Pixel XL O-Preview. This also includes the audio from the Pixel and uses Luthepa1’s Black Edition Pixel Boot Animation.
Generally you need root for this to work. But root for the O-Preview, while possible, is still a WIP. You can use Gladiac's FED-Patcher if you want to use without root, found here: [url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/fix-fed-patcher-v8-forceencrypt-disable-t3234422[/URL].
To revert back to stock just flash the system.img in TWRP. If you want the stock boot.img you can flash that in TWRP too.
As always, make a backup before flashing anything and doing this stuff voids your warranty and what not
UPDATE: So personally I've experienced a weird issue recently. Suddenly I'll find that my swipe left for Google Now doesn't work. Being that the Pixel Launcher is from the O-Preview, it's possible that it's a normal bug. Or it can be an issue with the flash. Not sure yet. But if you experience this, reflashing fixes it right away. No need to reflash the FED-Patcher
Thanks
Sweet , thanks
Works very nice on latest los too :good:
Like the boot sound
Will it flash on pure nexus rom?

I haven't tried it on that, but possibly. This was pulled from the O-Preview and I use it on the O-Preview. Theoretically this should work on previous versions. But as it is only the Pixel Launcher, it'd probably be better to use a full Pixel Mod for 7.1.1 or 7.1.2

It's working perfect on latest lineage os, so it will be good for pn too, I guess.
I thought this was a potential bug at first, but I just read an article that some users are experiencing a new Pixel Launcher lay out that brings back the search bar and removes the weather. I received this a few days ago and thought it was a bug. I reflashed the Pixel Launcher and it returned to normal. Now I know it wasn't a bug. But I wanted to point out that it's possible for us to receive this new layout using this mod. I'm not sure if this applies for anybody not on the O-Preview though
Thanks! Working great with root (SuperSU-v2.79-SR4) on Android O DP1. However, I don't know if anyone else has the bug where the navbar is black in the google now section of the launcher? I've had this 'bug' for awhile on Nougat, but I've just kinda accepted it.

[Module][Magisk][Pixel 2 Launcher][Original- unmodified][Systemless][App]

This magisk module is Pixel 2 launcher installer which installs it systemlessly.
When pixel 2 launcher is installed as user app, swipe right to open google now is not working. Even in some ROMs like pixel phone stock ROM, AEX ROM it can't be installed as user app.
When pixel 2 launcher is installed as system app, it causes issues like removes pixel launcher (in pixel phone & some ROMs' default launcher like AEX).
So this module will neither remove original pixel/pixel like launcher, nor compromise in functionality, it will just replace (or install) pixel 2 launcher systemlessly.
Google now launcher working with this systemlessly replaced pixel 2 launcher (even though it's not modified)
How to..
Flash module using latest magisk manager
Or
Flash using custom recovery like twrp.
Download link:
Download from attachment
Sources: Pixel 2 launcher apk file has been taken from APKMIRROR, and not modified at all.
Note:
All features will work only in oreo based ROMs. Notification dot & icon shape will not work with Nougat based ROMs.
You need to give location permission manually to get weather data as launcher is not asking location permission but by default all permission are set off.
Simple flashable zip & user app of Pixel 2 Launcher are available in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/pixel-2-launcher-t3688186
Enjoy!

Do you have a way to get back the old launcher after flashing this? Because after deleting this module in Magisk there is no launcher at all.

Hmm, ok that's weird then. When I disable the module and delete it in Magisk manager and then reboot I have no launcher at all.
I get a force close message that says "shut down is closed" or something like that. When I look at my apps in settings there's no Pixel launcher, but instead I have a shutdown app. Very weird.

The process is simple.....But there are a few requirements that you need to do before hand.
1. Unlock your Bootloader
2. Patch your Boot.img using Magisk
3. Install Twrp. If compatible with your device. In my case I used "Geiti94" Twrp he provided (TWRP_A30_A305F_V3_ASH1.tar) this worked for me even though I've got a A305GN and was flashed using Odin.
4. Download GSI rom of your choice just make sure you download the right version for your phone otherwise you'll face endless bootloops. *****You can use "Treble Info.apk" ***** to find out what your phone system supports as there are 4 types
5. Boot into Twrp, Tap on Wipe then Advanced Wipe then select "Dalvik/Art Cache" System" Data" leave everything else as it is. Then swipe to Wipe.
6. Then go back to Twrps main screen and tap on Install and navigate to where you put the GSI file by Selecting Storage then Install Image this will show only GSI image files. Then select your GSI file then select which Partition to flash to.....Which is SYSTEM.... DONE.
Screenshots
My system is a Arm64 compatible with a SystemAB GSI

I haven't experienced any sort of errors/bugs yet. Everything I use on a daily basis works, but if there are any errors/bugs they have yet to show themselves.
You have to understand that there are going to be errors/bugs in any custom firmware you flash to your phone, that's just the way it is nothing's 100% besides Stock.
I installed AOSP, it was easy. I am from Latin America and I had no problems placing the TWRP or loading the ROM, and the phone works much faster and the battery, it seems to last much longer

What AOSP GSI image did you go with? Was it already Rooted with SU?
Have you manage to resize your screen to allow your icons at the top of your screen to fiit
If you by any chance have "Phh Treble Settings" in your "Settings" then your good to go.
Yes, it is already rooted. I did it with the last one published in AOSP, published 4 days ago I think, download the version with gapps, you ride it with TWRP (it's in img) and that's it

Hi, I'm from Latin America too. My cell phone model is the SM-A305GU and I would also like to install AOSP but I don't have enough knowledge and I don't want my cell phone to be like an unusable brick. Could you guide me to get this?

I'm not the OP but when I tried Lineage Phh-Treble, there was an option about diameter of round corners in "Phh Treble Settings"->"Misc settings" and I set that to 20 and then the problem was fixed.

I have found that not all the Android 10 gsi I've used have this feature, Pixel Experience Q 28102019 being one of them.
so I've flashed this zip via TWRP to regain this ability. I know it doesn't work on all of them but its worth a try for those of you out there willing to give it a go.
I have successfully flashed the aosp 10 gsi (latest one) seems to be working really good.
The transitions seems to be little bit lagging with the stock launcher, and using other launcher totally removes the way task changer works. Which launcher are you guys using?
Can you make us tuturial please:fingers-crossed:

New Google assistant 2.0

Good morning, i'm on the pixel experience rom on my mi 9, and i have enabled the Google assistant 2.0 by making Google thinking that i have a pixel 4 XL (by modifying the build.prop file). But it doesn't have any ui. Someone know how to get the transparent ui please? Thank you in advance
Bro how u do that? And i hope u fix the ui for google assistant

Hi, if your phone is rooted and you have an aosp rom (like pixel experience), you can install a root file explorer, like root explorer. Then go to /system/build.prop and change cepheus by flame in device, name and product, Mi 9 by Pixel 4 XL in model, and Xiaomi by Google in brand and manufacturer. Then save and reboot. After that, clean the data of the Google app, then try to trigger the google assistant. You should see a download screen, then the google assistant 2.0 will be enabled.

To enable continue conversation, you only need to go to the google app > settings > Google assistant, and in the assistant tab, you will find the continue conversation category, where you can enable it for your phone. I hope that this will help you. Have a great day sir.

Yeah, i think that the ui is somewhere in the pixel 4 rom, but i can't see anything in an android dump of this phone.
Yesteday i have spoke with argraur, a developer that has enabled the next gen google assistant in his rom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/development/rom-google-pixelrom-v3-0sep-mi-8-t3843356.
He told me how he did, but sadly it didn't worked on the mi 9. I have tested his method on the derpfest rom and on the phhusson's gsi. So for the moment, i don't know what to do, except waiting that google release it for more phones.

Yeah, you must follow the steps described here: https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixe..._enable_new_google_assistant_for_older_pixel/.
Then, from a google flame dump: https://github.com/AndroidDumps/goo...-user-10-QQ1D.200205.002-6084393-release-keys,
take in the product directory priv-app/systemuiGoogle, usr/srec/, etc/sysconfig and push it in the same directories on the mi 9. Then reboot your phone and clear the google app data if needed. Then you should have the next gen assistant. If it's not the case, make sure you have only supported languages checked in the google assistant languages settings. So good luck, and i hope that someone will succeed to enable it with the new ui.
