Running in four steps.

You need an Xposed framework already set up. After that it takes about as long as a launcher restart.

Xposed framework
Installed and active
Android
12 or newer recommended
Root
Required

  1. Install the APK

    Grab it from the latest GitHub release.

  2. Grant root access

    Allow it when the app asks.

  3. Enable the module

    Switch it on in your Xposed manager.

  4. Force close your launcher

    It comes back with the module loaded. Open the app and start changing things.

Questions, answered.

Something else? Ask in the Telegram group or open an issue.

Do I need root?

Yes. Xposed frameworks like LSPosed need root to run, and the app needs root access as well.

Is it only for Pixel phones?

No. It works with the launcher, not the phone. Any device running Pixel Launcher (com.google.android.apps.nexuslauncher) or Launcher3 (com.android.launcher3) is supported. Launchers with other package names are not.

Which Android versions work?

Android 12 or newer is required.

Do changes need a launcher restart?

Many settings apply right away. The rest take effect once the launcher restarts, which the app can do for you.

How can I help?

Translate the app on Crowdin, report bugs or request features on GitHub, or buy the developer a coffee.
