The Google Pixel launcher comes preloaded on Google's flagship devices, and it's a favorite launcher of many. While it boasts fewer features than the likes of Nova Launcher, it's simplistic and supports features such as "At a Glance" and the Google feed panel. Amir Zaidi figured out how to port these features to other devices - and without needing root. He reverse engineered the Google Pixel Launcher and ported over features to Launcher3, the stock AOSP launcher. Version 3.6 of the Rootless Pixel Launcher is here, and it boasts theme selection, notch support, and lots of bug fixes.
