Rootless Pixel Launcher

Launcher3 with Pixel Launcher features
Pixel Launcher is a close to AOSP launcher that only changes the
necessary code to allow for small extensions and backporting to older
Android versions. If you want a more feature packed launcher use Nova,
Action or Lawnchair. Pixel Launcher is focused on simplicity and rock
solid stability.

Features include:

* Search bar at the bottom
* Wallpaper based theme selection
* Regular Icon Packs
* Adaptive Icon Packs, such as my Google Icons
* Icon Shape selection on Android 8.0

For Pixel users, there's also a
Magisk version.
