Pixel Launcher Now Available for Download

You know how we told you this morning that the Nexus Launcher had been renamed to Pixel Launcher? You can now download it, sideload, and get a taste of Pixel before the phones are officially announced.

Below, you’ll find a .zip file that includes both the Pixel Launcher (v7.1-3231428) and the wallpaper picker, along with individual files for each in case you don’t want to deal with a .zip.

As a warning and reminder, we are not the providers of these files and cannot assure you that they are safe. These come from @Llabtoofer. Proceed at your own risk. 

Zip Link: Pixel Launcher (.zip)

Individual Files: Pixel Launcher 7.1-3231428 (.apk) | Wallpaper Picker (.apk)

UPDATE: For those curious, this new Pixel Launcher .apk does indeed install over the top of the Nexus Launcher. So yes, the Nexus Launcher has been renamed to “Pixel Launcher.”

UPDATE 2: The calendar icon is now dynamic, which means it changes each day. Yay!

UPDATE 3: Quick first look video.
