With the release of smartphones Pixel and Pixel XL, Google made it clear that it intends to compete with other manufacturers. To attract users, the search giant solved exclusive software functions, such as unlimited storage of photos and videos in the Google Photos service. Another such exclusive was the new launcher Pixel Launcher, which replaced the shell Google Start. Officially it is available only on "pixels", but by the forces of third-party developers, the launcher has long been ported to other devices. True, all functions could be used only by owners of the hand-held devices. Now this limitation was circumvented.

The developer under the nickname AmirZ from the site Reddit created a version of Pixel Launcher, where they work completely all the functions on any Android-device without root. Previously, in order to work the weather widget, there was an animation of the search widget, the list of installed applications was opened with a snip up from anywhere on the screen, and right-clicking on the main screen opened Google Now required superuser rights. With a modified APK file, this restriction is removed.
