Pixel Launcher Extended is a Magisk module by TeamFiles with many cool features compared to original Pixel Launcher by Google.
- Extra themed icon packs support. Total of 6 icon packs for your favourite apps and games (BETA).
This feature is currently in beta due to Android 13 restrictions
Android 13 prefers themed icons made by apps, it looks through the apps first, only 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. These are available for Phones only. Not available for Tablets.
- Double tap to sleep (LSPosed required).
- You can choose different icons shapes while installing. Total of 17 icons shapes.
- Material You At A Glance greetings with Extended Settings app. Using this app you will be able to do some subtle modifications.
- 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.
- Enable hidden flags & developer options.
These flags can enable some subtle features & bring improvements in launcher. Some of the flags usage with detailed explanation.
- Push Notification Services.
Please note that this feature requires internet to provide you update & support related notifications. We don't take any data or logs from your phone to provide you these notifications.
This module is expected to work on ROMs which are based on fairly unmodified Android source code.
- Android 13 AOSP-based ROMs
- Android 13 QPR AOSP-based ROMs
Ensure your ROM is equipped with the necessary GApps, including Google apps and services. Without them, certain features may not function optimally on vanilla ROM. Make sure to flash proper GApps Package for your rom if you are using vanilla rom.

If you face any issues while using Pixel Launcher Extended then look into this section first before asking in support group on Telegram.
Enable Overview suggestions from pixel launher extended's settings.
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).
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:
- Download Termux
- Open it and type the command given below and press enter
su -c settings delete secure theme_customization_overlay_packages
- Grant superuser permissions
- Don't reboot as after reboot you will have to apply these changes again(blame your rom)
Watch this video for instructions to fix this issue.
Force-stop the app and relaunch.
Turn off Overview suggestions from Pixel Launcher's settings.
Make sure your rom has proper GApps. Also if your rom doesn't have Google App then download it from play store.
Uninstall updates of the Pixel Launcher app and reboot your device.
