Editor's Overview

Rootless Pixel Launcher is a launcher application developed by Amir Zaidi, packaged as a single Android APK of version 3.9 weighing in at 1.61 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

  1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
  2. File size is a light 1.61 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
  3. This build is signed by "Amir Zaidi" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
  4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
  5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

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.
