[Q] Sense launcher

Currenly using ARHD along with Nova Launcher as I like a bit of desktop customisation and more features.
That being said, I have liked Sense since 5 was released a few years back, I even liked Sense 4 but looking back the UI seemed a bit too cartoonish. Good in the day I guess!!
Curious to know what other folks do when it comes to using Sense 6, are they using the native launcher or going for a thirdy party launcher to get that additional customisation.
Reason I'm using Nova is the option to install icon packs, assign individual icons per app, change grid dimensions, icon sizes etc.
Is any of this possible with the latest Sense launcher by use of mods?
Thanks.

Xposed module Xtended Settings.. With that, u can do ALL of the above to the BlinkFeed launcher and then some. It's basically Xgels for Sense but with way more options ... Give it a go, it honestly makes BlinkFeed just as customizable as Nova, and even more... Theme status bar, softkeys (if u use them) , animations , etc.

It can change icons individually, for example I could set icons for the dock and differents icons on the desktop area? Resize them?
Thanks.

Nope,not currently. As of right now, just different icon packs, not individual icons. However,if u use wizardcut, u can do that on any launcher, including BlinkFeed... Not only that, but u can also layer and mix and match different icons together(for example, u can move 1 icon on top of the background of another icon to create a new icon) or just assign individual icons to individual apps n it sets them on your launcher... Good app on play store... Also ,desktop visualizer does this.

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for bricked devices or other issues.
Pixel Launcher app, Wallpaper Picker and Pixel Launcher Icons from Android 7.1.1
If you already have Pixel Launcher installed in private app folder this will remove it and then place new one. Same for Launcher Picker and Launcher Icons.
Also here is remover script to take it out if you need. Enjoy

Hi!! I Flashed but nothing realy changed....

The icons won't work anyway it's part of the actual pixel phone there framework-res has been edited or there system UI has been modified to make the icons work there's only one rom I recall that actually has full icons support and thats fake Nexus rom for the Nexus 5 because they have modified the system ui and framework-res

This Icons will not change all your icons. This is Pixel launcher icons and just some of the icons will be replaced like calendar and contacts. Nexus 6 dues not need to change UI framework, we have native 7.1 framework.

For the icons to show like the actual pixel phone like playstore logo and phone and camera and others most of the apps on the pixel phones have the circle icons so they have obviously edited there whole framework and system ui that's something we would need to do if we wanted the same circular icons because if you download the pixel launcher icons apk file and take a look inside it there is about 5 images of the circular icons it changes so we need to edit framework and system for the others to show

Easy way to apply icon pack to MIUI stock launcher?

u could just try the inbuilt MIUI theme engine u can apply wallpapers, icon packs or whole themes separately, no root or other mods necessary.

I was not quite specific - i want to apply icon pack download from Google Play, not those from MIUI Theme. When i open a app, there no option to apply icons from phone.

I am using the same MI Max 2 variant, usually the theme engine works just fine for me but it seems in your case you want something more.
Install the theme pack that you want (the one that you mentioned in the thread or any other would do fine as well)
Download and install the "MIUI theme editor" app from play store, from there on pick on any theme (you can import .MTZ files also) hit next. Once there, hit the "Apps Icon" > "Import whole Icon Pack" , you will be able to select/use any icon packs that you have installed. Hit, Back>Next>Finish (will display a pop up saying "do you want to install and use the theme now? hit OK).
Go to themes, you will see the theme you edited, apply the theme and "voilà"
You're welcome

jbmc83, i know can use Nova launcher and add icons by my choice, but like MIUI Launcher and prefer to stay on it.
xinie, all works fine, but some icons won't change - camera, gallery, messages, dialer... Way to solve this? Thanks.

There is also an option to change specific app icons in that theme editor, i can't get it working for some reason but give it a try

I want iconpacks

You can use 3 apps from playstore:
- Huawei themes (a themes gallery)
- Themes for Honor & Huawei (another themes gallery)
- Theme editor (and you can create an .hwt icon pack with any icon pack on the playstore)

can you link theme editor?

I have installed this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=emui.en.com.gpix2
It works with dark mode and it looks enough like stock to make me happy.

Thanks for linking.
The Theme-App automatically closes as soon as it is started on my P30 Pro (EMUI 9.1.0.136).
Any ideas?

[THEME] [MAGISK] Pixel Launcher for Android 11 Stock Rom

Hi Guys! This is a Magisk module I made to replace the stock Quickstep Launcher in our device with Pixel Launcher.
The module includes:
- Pixel Launcher (replaces Quickstep)
- Styles & Wallpapers (to change Accent Colors, Icon Shapes, Icon Packs, Wallpaper, Grid Size etc.)
- Device Personalization Services (for App Suggestions and "Select" Overview Action)
- Pixel Theme (Pixel Blue Accent Color instead of Teal, Amoled Black Dark Mode instead of Dark Gray, Rounded UI Corners)
- Extra Pixel Exclusive Accent Colors, Icon Packs & Fonts
- Removed Wi-Fi Generation Numbers from Wi-Fi Icon
Hope you guys enjoy!
Notes:
- I give credit to @Typhus_ for customize.sh. Hope he doesn't mind.

Don't mind at all.
Cheers!

OP updated: All apks are taken from the last Pixel 5's Android 11 images.

With los 18.1 is perfect! Good job man

OP updated: I've created two separate modules:

Truth be told, i initially created this theme for personal use only. I really love the stock android experience but that teal accent color, ugly dark mode and squarish ui make the device look really dated (in my personal opinion). So the idea of this theme was to add some polishes to our device while still keeping that lightweight android experience. I really like those few touches nokia adds to their phones and i feel like that's what an AOSP build should look like nowadays. I only added the nokia launcher becauce xiaomi didnt gave us a proper fully functional android 11 launcher3. So i won't be making other themes.

When i push the square in navigation bar, with google pixel launcher i don't see anything. With quickstep work normally. It's a shame because the search app drawer bar is cool. But not a big problem. I use the pixel theme, not nokia. Tnx for this mod. Is lite and essential

There may also be some interference with trebuchet launcher. Which los rom are you using?

I solved! I was more simply that i thinked... I have disabled yrebuchet, and cleared data of trebuchet and pixel! Now it's perfect. I'm very happy
Edit:a little issue. With dark theme enable, with the black search bar, the font color remain setted to black. Is better set to with. Cheers

Yeah i noticed it as well. Try force stopping, restarting or clearing the data of pixel launcher.
