Anyone Ported Pixel 2 Launcher for Pixel First gen and nexuses ? - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

everyone fall in love with the pixel 2 new UI as well As its new wallpaper of ocean!
is there any port of both of these mentioned requests >?
help would be appreciated

Am sure modifying the build.prop would yield access to lens in the camera and music id in the Google Assistant. Just like it was with pixel 1st Gen and the Nexus 6P.

Following, can someone confirm this before I reboot and edit my build.prop? If someone has apk too. I really want the music recognition, probably the only thing I'm hyped about from the release.

That's Google lens. I think both of us mean the Pixel 2 launcher, the one where the Google bar is at the bottom.

I imagine the redesign is actually a new update to the Pixel Launcher that'll probably be available through an update through the Play Store. Probably would get to is quicker by pulling from the Pixel 2 system.img. I could be wrong, but it seems to be something they'll bring to the old Pixels too and therefore not accessible through a build.prop edit

Has Google even announced if the old pixel will get the new launcher and AOD? I know the pixel launcher will probably be an update just but you never know.

Just subscride to read an answer ...

I believe #AndroidAuthority or the likes stated that Google said it would come with 8.1

It's not bad the only issue I have is the fact the bottom is really white now kinda annoying more so than the bar imo but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

[APK] Android O DP3 Pixel Launcher + Clock + Camera

I just pulled the Pixel Launcher APK from the O Preview DP3 system.img if anybody wants to use it. I uploaded DP2 a couple days ago just to have DP3 come out a day later. So here is DP3. Notification badges don't work in Nougat, so the only major change is the new look for long-press popup.
Also, the clock app has been recolored. I prefer that so I'm uploading that if anybody wants to use it.
UPDATE: As mentioned, here is the camera app. This version doesn't seem to have any improvements as far as performance. It does have ever include a slightly different shutter button and a new button to switch to video.
Also, my attachments are getting too large, so I'm moving them to AFH
AFH LINK: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=188846
Just install and you're good to go!
Can you pull the camera? Is it worth it?

{Request} Disable SRGB setting

Hello,
Just a request, because I'm sure Google will disable it sooner or later anyway. Is there any developer out there or anyone for that matter that would know a way to enable access to the SRGB screen setting or have an ADB command to enter that would disable it? Please let me know if it's possible and as always thank you in advance

The only option for color changing is this:
I'm pretty sure sRGB is a secure setting, so it can't be changed via adb or any non-root method.

On the Pixel 2 XL? Sure isn't the case on my stock Pixel XL (I stopped rooting once I got the Nexus 6P). The mode to toggle sRGB is right there in the developer settings under "Running Services" on the XL but completely missing in the 2 XL.
Considering how much people are whining about it, they'll obviously release some sort of update to allow people to disable it.
what the hell is wrong with you people
nothing is wrong with the display
i went in a verizon store today and checked out the XL and I dont see why theres such a fake outrage

It's not that something is really "wrong" with the display. It's that Google for whatever unknown reason decided to tune a high end POLED display to sRGB mode which tends to wash out colors.
Coming from a Note 8, the display is noticeably less sharp. Colors are off from a more saturated Samsung panel. Yellows look dark and angled viewing has blue tints.
It's not bad, it's just different, and a lot of people are noticing it. Many from Android media outlets. Apparently Google has acknowledged the display issues and is going to modify it.

Has anyone with the phone tried looking in some of the activities options which typically have many setting hidden but available to launch from? That's the first place I'm going to check when I have the phone. Either use a launcher with activity ability or install an app:

Installed the app and ran it, it only shows a list for itself and Nova. Long press on itself create shortcut doesn't do anything. Settings, home app doesn't show activity launcher. I'm going to take a wild guess and say it's not compatible with Oreo as the last update was 2015.

Yeah you have to switch to all activities from the top pulldown
On 2nd thought, mine crashed on my N6p on Oreo so it may not be compatible. Try installing Nova Launcher. It comes with activity launcher. I believe you just press and hold somewhere on screen and choose activities.

Can you see sRGB in that app somewhere? I cant. I see developer options but none of the things inside it. Don't know enough to set up the advanced one.

Tap activity at the top and scroll to settings. Open it up and start searching. You can launch the activity by hitting the play button. Some of them may crash but some lead to hidden menus that are not otherwise accessible through normal settings. Like Bandmode (be carefull) or phone info.

[Q] Camera symbol in Google Messages

I have a pixel 2 for work and a pixel 2XL for personal use. They are both using the same version of Google's Messages. However, my pixel 2 has the new camera icon next to the + symbol where you would write your text. My pixel 2xl still only has the + symbol next to where you text. Anyone know if it is a setting I need to change or if one phone got a update pushed on Google's side? Picture shows what I am talking about circled in red.

Funny enough I have it on custom roms but on stock it would not trigger.

That's crazy. And you've got the latest version of Messages that's on APK Mirror?

I was thinking I was the only one that still does not have it. Crazy!
I connected to pixel support through settings and the technician had me screen share and went through a lot of things like checking in safe mode, Android build version, app settings and other things. He was not sure why my messages app is not updated properly. He ended up having me send a feedback report and said they would be looking into it.
Well time will tell .
I had it on my stock pixel 2 XL then I lost it when I flashed a rom. When I flashed back a month later to stock I got it back. I tried everything I could think of while I was running a custom rom to get it back with no luck.

I have the camera icon now after a clean flash on stock. Every other month (depending on features, patches, etc.) I make it a priority to do a complete wipe of the device. It's tedious and some may see it as redundant, but in my experience since the days of the G1, it keeps everything running smooth.

scrolling screen shot?

I know the pixel 2's didn't have scroll screen shot, has the pixel 3 got it?

Interesting. Im curious, how does that work? What would be scrolling? How would you send it and how would someone viewing it see it? I feel dumb but Ive never heard of this and Im super intrigued.
By "scrolling", is that just like a long screenshot? I would love that sort of native functionality, I've always had to use an app for it...I'm currently on one from the play store called Screen Master...

Yeah, I think that's what the OP is referring to.
Samsung's (at least the Note series, not positive on others) had it built in, where if you take a screenshot there would be a button that says like "scroll down" or something, and it would scroll a page length down, and you could keep doing it. The result being a long image.
Screen Master seems like a nice app for it.
Wish it was just built into the screenshot capture though

Dude, really? The device isn't even released yet...
It's Android 10. It's going to be the same. It's been the same for the last 5 releases. The question is about the date. And those aren't 2 widgets. It's the stock implementation of the "At a Glance" and the Android clock widget...

You can't get rid of it. Just grab a custom launcher. It's funny how people differ in opinion, I can't go without that bar now at the bottom. Use it to search everything and being right there is so convenient.
