Lean Launcher is the Rootless Pixel Launcher With Some Customizations

With the Pixel ii/XL last year, Google not but updated the hardware inside the phones but also fabricated quite a few changes to the famous Pixel Launcher, including but not limited to a bottom-placed search bar and that really awesome 'At a Glance' characteristic.

Obviously, third-political party launchers rapidly caught upwards and updated their own launchers to include features from the new Pixel Launcher, simply and then most of them are paid (my personal favorite is Nova Launcher. I take Nova Prime and information technology's worth information technology, just everyone likes complimentary stuff). That's where the Rootless Pixel Launcher came in, bringing the fruit from Google'southward proverbial garden and hanging it low plenty for the Android community to all become a gustation.

And so what's Lean Launcher all nearly? Technically speaking, it's a fork of Rootless Pixel Launcher, which means that information technology's basically the Rootless Pixel Launcher, with some changes:

Option to hide 'At a Glance' widget
Choice to hide bottom search bar
Option to hide search bar in app drawer
Choice to disable the spring upshot in app drawer
Option to lock desktop and forbid adventitious changes
Option to forcefulness dark or light theme
Hide apps in app drawer

I've tried the launcher and it works perfectly fine. It brings the Pixel 2 wait most people love, forth with handy customizations (and Notification Dots, besides) so you can custom-fit it to your needs. All of this without root, and without anything more than simply installing an APK on your phone. Information technology'southward incredibly easy, and it works incredibly well.

Withal, I'chiliad withal sticking with Nova Launcher Prime because information technology just offers a lot more than in the way of customization, and brings regular characteristic updates, something that Lean Launcher currently seems to lack. Possibly the programmer starts more than active evolution if there'due south a bigger need for the launcher, but in that location is no word on the same.

In its current grade, Lean Launcher is pretty adept to exist used equally a dedicated home app on your phone, and so if you like the Pixel 2 look, and want some boosted customization, become ahead and requite it a shot. You can download the launcher APK from GitHub.
