hey guyz, did anyone noticed lag while opening google feed page in pixel launcher? i felt lag everytime i swipe right on the pixel launcher to go to the google page. can anyone fix it?
it wasnt in oreo but yup noticed it when i switched to the beta builds
It lags in every ROM I have tried
I have the same problem on beta 5
lag on all Beta Versions
Yes ! It was still manageable and didn't catch my attention with the previous beta versions but with OB5, it's way too laggy.
No problem, cr droid, flash kernel, ruthless pixel launcher (magisk module)
YEs I have the same Lag also, trying to install rootless pixel launcher and I have that terrible Lag, only in beta version. Could you try uninstalling one plus launcher app, if that helps ???

This lag is specific to OOS and not android. The lag doesn't exist on AOSP 8.1 roms.
Any news about a fix ?

Yes, that's the saddest thing.. I was waiting for a stable release ??
So I shouldnt update to 8.1 then
I have the same issue.. Now I'm forced to use OnePlus' launcher instead od Nova (pro), because it doesnt work as it should after update to Oxygen 5.1.
Same here.... Is it the same after a clean install?
I contacted One Plus support, they told me to hard reset... but it's not fixing anything! Can anyone try too ?
Same problem even after Factory reset...

Anyone know of any development work being done along the lines of PhoenixOS or RemixOS for Pixel C?
I would love to have more of a "laptop" style UI on my Pixel C.
I have seen Leena Launcher, and though that is going in the right direction, it isn't nearly as nice as the launchers on PhoenixOS or RemixOS. It also didn't seem very stable.

remix os in fully available - go to google and have a search of "remix os for Pixel C" and you will find it
Download the app "Sentio Desktop" from the google play store. The team behind it are ex google engineers, who designed the UI for their own hardware android Laptop, but the app runs on any android device and looks quite nice on the Pixel C
thinking of buying the realme x but im not fond of the development history of realme devices they barely get any roms. maybe since this is snapdragon and not mediatek, things will be different. what do you all think?
I've had for about 2 weeks, and I am not regretting it.
My last phone was the 1+3 and I've had it since launch, the realme X is about the same performance with double the battery life and a good camera and great big screen for an affordable price.
it's worth a buy.
realme is something like OnePlus.
it's a subband of OPPO , not so independent like OnePlus.
In fact I'm not satisfied with the colorOS , too much change to Android pie .
I'm also 2w in and I love it. Coming from Samsung s8+ and it sure is much better in every way. In my opinion ofc ?

I miss skydragon OS on my 1+3, but nova launcher and google apps quench my thirst for now.
I also ordered the phone last night(and ofc the White one other wise whats the reason of buying it.
And regarding Development I hope this atleast gets Development as R3pro, which is quite decent.
Tho I talked with one of the Dev, and he be getting a Realme X, so ???.
I have used this for three month and no problems. So ye, worth i guess
Using it for well over a month now, changed the look of it (copied Dave2d's OnePlus 7 Pro setup) using Nova Launcher (Chinese rom so had to use adb to change default launcher) and third party icons, looks and feels way better than stock ColorOS, other than that ColorOS isn't too bad in terms of aesthetics, as far as the hardware goes got no complains whatsoever, Gcam works fine so camera is top notch, the screen is great, charging is great (also battery performance), it's totally bang for buck imo, no regrets.

Hi,
You have managed to change the standard launcher? You may provide some informaiton on how you have done it? I tried the standard methods but everything was grayed out or not even there. Also tried rooting the device but some security software safed me from this intention! Even my attempt from pc.
For other people: color OS is probably a good choice if you like a apple like OS. Except some restriction in customisation everything is fine. (It´s running now a week without any bug or problem) Play store is not preinstalled but with a quick search and apk installation you can download every app from play store except google now launcher it´s not supported on the device...
Actually I was planning to buy the redmi K20 pro, but after looking at the price of it changed my mind and ordered the Realme X.
As far now this is the best smartphone under 20k. There are no much difference between the Redmi K20 and Realme X.

I installed Nova launcher, then disabled the default launcher using adb commands, forcing the phone to use Nova as it's default (yes you don't have the option do it in settings, apparently Chinese ROMs don't allow changing launcher for safety(?) reasons) . But keep in mind that after using this method to change the launcher, the swipe gestures from both sides won't work, you won't be able to go to home using swipe up, so I had to move to swipe-up gestures, which is the swipe alternative of having virtual keys, you can use virtual keys as well. other than this everthing works perfectly.
I used this thread to disable the default launcher: Click here
** Make sure you have a launcher installed before disabling the default launcher, if you mess up you can always reset and start again, try not to disable things you aren't sure of as it can mess up the phone (learned from experience) **
I bought it for my sister in law before i sent it to nigeria. I can attest to the quality of the phone. the only thing that may piss u off if u are coming from stock android is that color os has so many animations (there are so many that there is a setting not in dev settings, where u can reduce animations. to me this reduction does nothing) that slow down how the phone seems to operate. Trust me its a fast phone but with all the animations it looks slow. Also if u buy the china version u would have to deal with some chinese text but u can uninstall a lot of everything that u dont want and install google play from apkpure and just move on with life. It was surprisingly a lot easier and palatable to deal with as a chinese rom than a Redmi Note 7 chinese version i had bought. The Redmi didnt play well with sideloading google services so i had to unlock the bootloader and load an Xiaomi.eu rom while the Realme is so accepting of a sideload that it looks native.

True......
Maybe I didn't search hard enough, but anyone know if it's possible to install the OnePlus launcher on the Pixel 6 Pro? I successfully installed, but it refused to load, even one install that was reported to work on any Android phone. I'm using ProtonAOSP with gapps.
I bought a Pixel 6 Pro out of love for its superior night camera which is fabulous for catching northern lights here in Alaska, but I absolutely love the OxygenOS launcher on my OnePlus 8 Pro. It's a weird request, I know.
All I have to say is,"why?"
Coming from One+ and Samsung..... All users flash roms to come to a Pixel UI and you want a OP launcher on a Pixel? I'm stumped
I'd recommend Nova7 as it's a better fit for phones than OP launcher.
If it's a tinkering matter I totally understand,but, OP on Pixel?
You can also try lawnchair launcher 12. I was missing a few things after moving from 1+ 8 pro to P6 but lawnchair did the trick for me. Basically a pixel launcher with some more customization.

Which features exactly are you looking for?
There are several available launchers on a Pixel, I can't think of any feature set that OP has that is not available, since you can customize about anything, including icons and how animations/gestures work.
As others have said. What's the point?
Anyway, installing the APK will not be sufficient as the OnePlus launcher also relies on a number of native libraries.
You will need figure out exactly which libraries and make them available in /system/lib(64) via a Magisk module.
Too much hassle for what ...
Specifically, I really like this one touch close all apps button. It's a good visual decluttering for me versus memory issue. If I feel overwhelmed by everything I have open, tap the one button and it all feels clean again.

I'll give it a look.
Closing the apps in that way is not recommended and actually worsens battery use. Doesn't do anything for memory use either really as the phone has plenty and manages it well enough. This is why it has been gotten rid of in later versions of Android.

Eh, I charge it enough. It really is more of a psychological visual decluttering for me. I know, it's really best to let Android manage your open apps.

I remember using this on my pixel 2xl. Hasn't been updated in a minute though but it will do the job
One thing i like most about One plus launcher is to hide apps with fingerprint.
Left swipe to reveal but with fingerprint.
Is there any launcher which has this feature?
Check out Ruthless Launcher
Google Play Link
It has a clear all button on the left most page of the app switcher.
Also has app locker function with fingerprint unlock.
Dev is really responsive on Telegram and the app receives frequent updates.
It's customisable - app icons support, grid options etc, loads of features including At-A-Glance and Google Feed etc. Been using it for a few years now.
Hi,
I use two devices on a daily basis: Pixel 6 pro and 7 pro. One more test and the other as a daily driver.
I wonder what launchers you use. Pixel launcher seems to me a bit limited when it comes to functionality and appearance. I tried the pixel launcher mod, but it seems to be moderately stable and still doesn't give you the option to set any grid size. The app drawer is sprawled out enormously, the gaps between apps are large, and everything is narrow and weird.
I'm just used to using the nova launcher and lawnchair. Since 2014 I was using nexus 6 and pixel devices later.
Now in (almost) 2023 both nova launcher and lawnchair seem to be out of date even in current test builds: nova launcher 8 beta and lawnchair 12.1 dev (quickstep doesn't work anyway).
So a question for power users who like customization to the limit. How are you doing with the current pixel launcher monopoly? what do you use?
It sounds like you're looking for a customizable and stable launcher for your Pixel 6 Pro and 7 Pro devices. While I don't have personal experience with either of these devices, I can recommend some popular launcher options that you may want to consider.
One option is the Action Launcher, which offers a variety of customization options and features a "Quickstep" interface that allows for easy switching between apps. Another option is the Microsoft Launcher, which allows for deep customization and integrates with Microsoft services like OneDrive and Your Phone.
If you want to stick with a launcher that's developed by Google, you may want to try the Google Discover Launcher. This launcher allows for some customization and integrates with Google services like the Google Assistant and Discover feed.
Ultimately, the best launcher for you will depend on your personal preferences and needs. I recommend trying out a few different options to see which one works best for you.

I would say hardly a monopoly, but the pixel launcher is so limited it's infuriating. Which is why I use Nova Launcher (current beta) despite, in your opinion, it being out of date.

Nova...works...whats the problem here?
General comment, becuase i see this "but this software/app is out of date" thing far too often on here...
I dunno why some people think stuff is "out of date" because of the date since last build
Mostly millennials and gen-zer's...want a new version of something every 6 months because they think evil CrApple release schedules should apply to literally everything....*head shake*...we really have devolved as a species
People of my age consider things out of date when they stop working......but then we're not the worst (and most spoiled) generation ever made...
Stop creating issues that dont exist, use Nova, it works fine....

For the most part, I use the launcher included with the system.
When I do change, I use Nova or Lawnchair.

phew. That's a bit of a far-reaching conclusion. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the Nova launcher because it's great to use. But consider the animation quality when changing running applications, expanding the application drawer or, for example, the lack of themed icons. Lawnchair has gone a step further and is more modern. I've been using Nova Launcher Prime for almost 10 years, but while using Pixel Launcher for a while, I had the impression "oh, that's how it should work, very nice". Also, I think you misjudged me a bit. In 3 months I will be 33 years old, so I am far from the generational groups you mentioned and their approach to stimuli and novelties.

I also got Nova Prime and used it quite a bit in different roms and devices.
Switched to Lawnchair version 12.1.0 Alpha 4 and will never switch back. This launcher helps with so many things; one of them was a magisk module I used about a year ago.

I'm on a lawnchair right now. it's really great and basically comparable to pixel launcher. It is a pity that the android 13 magisk module does not work. I use the dev version of the launcher. Do you see any advantage of the alpha version over the dev version?

Yes, this one is exactly what I'm in using now in my Pixel 6 pro and it's really working well.
Pixel Launcher Extended looks very promising.
I stand by Microsoft launcher. I've got an ms 365 personal and business subscription. The backup feature is useful. I use windows 11 so it syncs my notes from to-do etc.
Its not everyone's cup of tea but it's the best launcher I've used personally
