Nexus Launcher is now Pixel Launcher and you can download it now!

We recently heard a strong rumor that Google will be ditching their Nexus branding with this year’s line of pure-as-you-can-get Android devices in favor of Pixel, so it’s no surprise to learn that the Nexus Launcher will be getting a new name as well. This popular and newly rebranded launcher is also now available for your own perusal, thanks to ROM developer LlabTooFeR.

On the surface, there doesn’t appear to be anything particularly different about Pixel Launcher. As far as we can tell, the only thing that’s been changed is the name and version number. Oh yeah, and the Calendar icon is dynamic, meaning that it accurately depicts which day of the month it is without accessing the app. If you’re looking for any sleek new features or UI redesigns, you won’t find any of that here. It’s literally the most recent version of the Nexus Launcher with a new name.
