Today, amirzaidi, a developer on Github has pushed out yet another mod for the Pixel 2 Launcher. The launcher that is based on Pixel 2’s Android 8.1 update brings a few extra features. With the updated launcher, people can now use custom icon packs, app shortcuts when long pressing on an app icon, complete Google Now feed, plus a whole lot more. The launcher works on devices running versions of Android newer than Lollipop. However, depending on which version of Andoid you are on, you will have access to certain features that are may not appear if you are on older versions. Visit the developer’s Reddit page for a more comprehensive list of features of the launcher available across the various supported Android versions.
How to install.
This is a rootless mod so you don’t need to have a rooted device to install. It is an apk file so you have to sideload it as you can’t exactly find it on the Play Store. It is pretty straight foward though. Simply download the apk file from the developer’s Github and click on the downloaded file to install. You may have to allow Unknown Souces in settings to get it to install. Image Courtesy of AndroidCentral.
