Pixel Launcher is easily one of the most sought after apps each year from the Pixel smartphones. This is despite the fact that Google barely makes any changes in an entire year. It’s a simple and very basic launcher which is its appeal to some. For someone like me, I prefer features that something like Nova Launcher provides. However, I also like the system integration provided by Pixel Launcher. For instance, the new overview screen on the Pixel 4 Launcher APK provides text and image selection features.
This feature was first launched with Android 9.0 last year, but Google had restricted it to Pixel 2 and newer devices. But the thing with restricted software features is they can be ported to other devices. So that is exactly what XDA Senior Member remewer did. As long as you’re running a rooted Android 10, you can get Pixel Launcher with overview text and image selection on your device. Here’s how.
