Bug Fixes for Google Pixel Launcher:

  • Fix crashes caused by backported app shortcuts
    Fix stuttering from back button presses
    Change values-zu string so AOSP build script works again
    Remove empty workspace page after a failed shortcut drag
    Minor cleanup
  • Delay workspace loading after a failed shortcut drag by half a second. This fixes a bug where the app drawer would stay half open when very briefly holding a shortcut.
  • Add open source licenses preference in about settings category
  • Strip empty left page after a settings invoked reload that removes At A Glance
  • Import translations for all theme options
  • Never scroll the home screen when app drawer is visible. This fixes a bug where the top left and top right corner could be used to scroll between pages.

  • Check the correct build version in WallpaperManagerCompat to remove logcat spam

  • Reduce drawer opening stutters by only querying enough intents to fill predictions
  • Change shortcut icon fallback to match the L3GO widgets icon
  • Allow for statically typed drawable name in the round icon attribute. Fixes some crashes and is able to load more round icons on Lollipop/Marshmallow/Nougat.
  • Improve proguard optimization rules by only optimizing constructors. Should slightly improve the performance, but is probably not noticable.
  • Add Cylinder adaptive icon shape to the available icon shape options on Oreo
  • Update Greek and Portuguese translations of Squircle
  • Disable new app drawer Google Search style on Nougat because of layout bugs
  • Disable white circle around icons on Go build
  • Disallow interacting with a widget that is being resized
  • Check both normalized and non-normalized search input for app search. Should fix the problem where some languages could not find any apps using the search function anymore.
  • Automatically hide the Google Search style app drawer search bar when the Google App is disabled
  • Add max_aspect tag for transparent navigation bar on OEM ROMs. Fixes the black navigation bar on LG phones
