Pixel Launcher Extended Documentation

Header Image

Pixel Launcher Extended is a Magisk module with many cool features compared to original Pixel Launcher by Google.

Features

  • Extra themed icon packs support. Total of 6 icon packs for your favourite apps and games. This feature is currently in beta due to Android 13 restrictions. Android 13 prefers themed icons made by apps and then it looks for themed icons overlay(which we use). TeamFiles icons are very closed to stock themed icons. So, we recommend using them.
  • More grids options, total of 14 grids. You can select these extra grids by going to Wallpaper & style > App grid.
  • Double tap to sleep (LSPosed required).
  • You can choose different icons shapes while installing. Total of 16 icons shapes.
  • Material You At A Glance greetings.
  • Pixel Launcher Mods by KieronQuinn. It has many cool features such as icon pack changer, recent section blur, etc.
  • Add-ons, which can enhance and add more functionality.

Compatibility

This module is expected to work on ROMs which are based on fairly unmodified Android source code.

  • Android 13 AOSP-based ROMs

WARNING: It may not work on some LOS-based ROMs like RiceDroid. If you face any crashes on these ROMs, please look thru the troubleshooting section.

Prerequisites

  • Compatible ROMs (AOSP-based custom ROMs or Google Pixel stock ROM) based on Android 13.
  • Device rooted by Magisk latest stable.
  • LSPosed (optional, if you want to use double tap to sleep feature)

Troubleshooting

If you face any issues while using Pixel Launcher Extended then look into this section first before asking in support group on Telegram.

Weather widget in At A Glance or Select feature in recent tabs not working

Try updating Google App, Google Play Services, Android System Intelligence (ASI), Android System Webview, Google Calendar, Google Lens and all other Google apps from Play Store. We suggest you to use ROMs that have stock Pixel GApps by default. After trying above solution if it still doesn't work or if you are facing random crashes in launcher then download At A Glance Enhancer add-on. It contains Android System Intelligence (which may fix all these issues).

Material You isn't working properly, it's not changing color according to wallpaper

Your ROM may have its own implementation of Material You and that may be interfering with Pixel Launcher Extended.

To fix this issue, please follow these steps:

su -c settings delete secure theme_customization_overlay_packages
  • Grant superuser permissions
  • Reboot your device

Enabled “Hide Clock” from the Pixel Launcher Mods app and now the clock isn't returning

Watch this video for instructions to fix this issue.
