Change Icons in Pixel Launcher? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Has anybody figured out a way to change the icons in the Pixel Launcher? I found I can use Awesome Icons to swap them out but it won't let me change the icons in the dock.
I have nothing against Nova Launcher but would prefer to use the stock Launcher.
Thanks

That's called the dock. I don't quite know what your looking to do though. You said you can use Awesome Icons to swap them out, but can't change them?? You'd likely need an app to allow icon changes. I use Nova launcher to allow various icon packs to be used, but not sure if that's what you want.

Thanks for the info. Updated op. Not sure why I couldn't remember dock (not enough coffee). My issue is that I can change all the icons except the ones in the dock. I will probably end up using Nova but would like to find a way to do this in Pixel Launcher.

I used to use this app to do what your suggesting.....https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jy.iconchanger.ad
Don't know if it'll work, but worth a try I reckon

This works great. Saw it somewhere else but no download link so I assumed it wasn't any good anymore. Can't get it to do packs but works great individually. Very happy with this. Thanks so much (later).

Thanks guys!

This is the exact issue I've been trying to solve. Did anyone ever find a non-rooted option for switching the apps in the dock drawer?
Just got my Pixel 2 XL yesterday. Will eventually root but wanted to try to see how far I could get on stock.

read the decription guys, it clearly states the launcher mis aligned not by much, there fixed versions but they domt seem to work.for me , theres a link to them on the op, =
edit. yo can replace the launcher if it bothers you.
I cannot for the life of me find in the OP where it states that the dock is misaligned, it only says for the lockscreen.

The launcher for this rom is sweet. I did get some fc's when I removed the picture and video widget from the homescreen. I simply cleared the launcher data and its all fine. Besides that everything works perfectly.

[DEAD PROJECT]Kangasoreass Mod

Eugene's gb launcher. Keep it clean. Add overscroll and CRT off and work from there. Maybe check out screens for trigger on the vibrant dev forum. Its amazing.

What is going in here.
ADW launcher EX!
Samsung Galaxy S II
Launcher Pro but I wouldn't run one called kangasoreass, ballzalloverme, crotchlickitycumshot or any other such nonsense.
I'm glad you were able to add go launcher ex in your poll. I have the paid version of ADW & LP, yet the GLex has me set as default (it's free and I would pay for it any day).
Btw, do you want me to post link to that port idea I had earlier?

I agree with both your comments.
.....
I've tried TW, Go Launcher, and Launcher Pro, and I prefer Launcher Pro the most. Before I vote however, I read an off handed comment somewhere about TW being optimized to use the hardware, while the others lack this because they're launchers for the generic android community. Is there anything to that? I haven't really made back and forth comparisons to try to see a difference myself, so I'm hoping to be lazy and have someone else tell me the answer

This is a super awesome idea!!!!!!
All i want is the k spec battery you had on your 3.2 version. the blue circular battery but maybe a green one to keep it asop looking.
The lockscreen options would be a good add.
I use adw ex but any launcher is good.
Thats all i can think of right now.

I have SPB Shell (biggest problem I have with it is that there is no transition effects sliding between homescreens - 2D, everything else is cool) and I agree, people don't want to pay $15.
Also my launcher of choice: Go Launcher Ex
Theme choice (specifically the dialer) below links would be REALLY COOL!

[THEME] - Cool Buzz Launcher

Just recently got my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and was bored with the ui. I went on Googles very own PlayStore and did a search on launchers. I then came across a launcher called Buzz Launcher. Took me some time to put this together. Once you get the hang of it all is easy.
Take a look let me know what you think!

All you have to do is download the Buzz Launcher from the PlayStore!
If you want to sport the theme i created you can, once you download the launcher go to the category that says 'New".
Then you will see my theme there! let me know how all turns out.

Hey,
Once you download the launcher and set up an account, you will see a variety of templates to choose from. Once you have made your decision on which you would like, you can change certain things about the layout and make it look how you want it to look.
*Be sure to download "Buzz Custom Widget". this will allow you to set headings and etc. very important!

[APP]SmartCut

Hi guys!
So i created a application called SmartCut.
Paid:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=erayz.com.smartcut
Free:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=erayz.com.smartcut.free
What it does is ones you activate it, it will place a trigger on your screen and with it you can easy access any placed apps from one of the five (paid, three if free version) positions.
Easy and clean design and alot of customisation for the trigger.
I would love if you had a look
This app looks amazing! And ideal for the s6 edge. Does it replace the favourites that's on the edge as standard?

its working for me,nice app i think it just has to be a little more smoother like the edge people widget
whats the diff between the free and pro
nice work.. it works for me.. I don't like the vibration when you slide it out but other than that its good..
I'm still waiting for a Dev to give us edge on launcher like the note edge.. sucks that we can only slide it out or use it when the screen is off. would love to remove status bar and have it on the edge but that's wishful thinking lol

Great idea I was looking for an app that utilizes the s6 edge. I was wondering if you would be implimenting a blur effect once it's open similar to the people's edge on the s6, support for icon packs, and also support folders as well.
Thanks again.

I logged into my xda-developers account that I hadn't in three years just to comment on this. This is awesome, and is going to make me love this device, rather than use it occasionally.
I, too, would love to see it start on boot. Is there a way to automatically or manually kill the Amazon launcher process?
