Show off your Homescreens
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're disqualified! Custom launcher and icons.
Would like to use the google launcher but that google search bar on home screen drives me mad & I cannot find a way of getting rid of it.
Any ideas?

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.
Keep it fairly simple, using Nova Launcher Prime and Fancy Widgets for the clock/weather.
Just couldn't enjoy the stock Google Launcher.

but since you have a pixel and therefore the squeeze feature, isn't that just as easy to use than clicking on that? Especially with the new assistant being as latency free as it is

Yeah, funny you say that. I didn't even turn that on on my pixel 3xl. And it's off on my 4xl as well. I just can't get into it and I find it easy enough that I just click my google search bar and all my recent items are there to just click and go into. And if I'm searching something differently, I just say hey Google.

It's the EX version that was updated.
Which one are you using ? All I see is one dated from last year.
This was updated today
It's got HW acceleration enabled. By the way, for those that have it, how do you access widgets? Same as stock method ?
Widget by the old way of press and hold on the home screen.

Ah, question answered
The only thing I need it for is the capability to cram more into the same space. Love the freedom to splice the display in more rows, was a little disappointed that even with ICS they still have the 5x4 grid :/
IMO better but it is obviously a personal choice - I like animations and eye candy - some like every thing just stock.
To me, android is about customisation.
I like the ability to landscape the home screen - too bad it lags so much.

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.

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.

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.

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

Have you tried OnePlus gestures? I know it's not what you're asking for but I used a OnePlus 6t extensively and it was a joy to use thanks to the gesture navigation. Once I found out it could be done on the Pixel, I switched and haven't looked back to the OnePlus since.
