The Android One Launcher APK and the Pixel 2 Launcher APK are almost the same. Their differences are in the location of the search bar (which is at the top on Android One and at the bottom on the Pixel 2) and At a Glance widget (which is absent on Android One but present on Pixel 2).
Specifically, the Android One Launcher was designed for Android One phones such as Xiaomi Mi A1 and Moto X4, but if you feel like rocking the launcher on your non-Android One phone, this post provides the direct download link to the launcher.
But before I give you the link, it’s worth giving credit to Amir Zaidi (also known as AmriZ) of Reddit; he was the developer that created the downloadable Android One Launcher APK. The guy created a replica version, which has all the features of the pre-installed version.
Amir’s Android One Launcher supports adaptive icons, has “swipe up to app drawers” functionality, and comes with Google feed – these are some of the prominent features of the original launcher.
How to Download Android One Launcher APK
To download the APK file for the launcher, go to this link. After downloading the file, install on your non-Android One phone and start enjoying the feeling of Android One.
Note that, the launcher wouldn’t install on your phone if you are currently running Pixel Launcher. As I have already stated, the two launchers are almost the same; so you would need to uninstalled (if you can) Pixel Launcher before you can install Android One Launcher.
