Unlimited customization is Android’s forte, and that usually starts with the way our devices look and feel on the surface. Launcher apps are special tools that make this possible, changing the way our home screens look and feel and tweaking the behavior of the app drawer.
Give your Android the Pixel experience it deserves!
From Google and Samsung to OnePlus and Xiaomi, all the leading smartphone manufacturers have their own ROMs and stock launcher apps. While almost all of them have their share of goodies, most “elitists” and enthusiasts are usually looking for a near-stock Android experience. And using a launcher app, with almost no additional bulk, is as close to stock Android as you can get without flashing a custom ROM.
When it comes to stock Android, nothing beats the original Pixel launcher. Unfortunately, Google itself hasn’t listed the launcher on the Play Store, so you’ll have to look for third-party options. You can find a bunch of cool launchers in this segment — Lean Launcher, Lawnchair 2, Action Launcher — but none of them can match the Rootless Launcher.
Formerly known as Rootless Pixel Launcher, the app brings you a leaner and meaner version of the famous Pixel Launcher. Of course, all the basic features are included and the seamless transition effects can easily rival the official Pixel Launcher. In this section, we will take a look at the Rootless Launcher app and tell you how to get it working on your non-Google Pixel device.
