Pixel Suite 3.0.0

The biggest Pixel Suite release yet. 3.0.0 brings a smarter share menu, a reimagined Pixel Studio, icon packs, call recording, system-wide ad blocking, Do Not Annoy, OTA & Play Store blockers, navigation buttons and much more, shaped across 191 preview builds. It also fixes bugs in Google's own apps, works with more Pixel Launcher versions, and gives the Pixel Suite app a fresh new look.

✨ Highlights

• 📤 Share menu tools: reorder pinned apps and contacts, hide apps and contacts into folders
• 🖼️ Pixel Studio, reimagined: zoom, an all-new text tool, the whole picture after a crop, floating colour menu
• 🎨 Icon packs for Pixel Launcher, in your icon shape
• 📞 Call recording in the Google Phone app, in any country, without the announcement
• 🚫 Ad blocking system-wide, in Chrome and Google News, plus an ad-free Google feed
• 🔕 Do Not Annoy: silence incoming calls while staying connected
• 🛡️ OTA & Store blocker: keep your system and chosen apps on their current versions
• ⌚ Pixel Watch eSIM setup with a QR code, in any country
• 🧭 Navigation buttons beside the gesture bar
• 🍞 Toasts: choose where every toast appears
• 📱 More Pixel Launchers supported, and fixes for bugs in Google's own apps

📤 Share menu (Share menu > Share sheet tools)

• Reorder pinned apps by dragging; extra pinned rows when one is full. Pinned apps aren't listed twice.
• Hide apps into a Hidden apps folder, one by one or several at once with Edit. Tap a hidden app to share to it; long-press to unhide.
• Contacts: reorder pinned contacts, hide contacts into a Hidden contacts folder, or fold the whole contacts row away.
• Long app names stay on one line. Folders and panels follow your surface style and theme.
• Google Photos' share page now uses the share sheet's own colours instead of plain white.

🖼️ Pixel Studio, reimagined

• Zoom: pinch to zoom up to 5x and pan, anywhere in the editor. While zoomed, the pen, highlighter and eraser draw right under your finger, and crop corners stay under it. Save and Share are unaffected.
• All-new text tool: type right on the picture, live, in your chosen font and colour.
  • Only ✓ saves, in the top bar or on the text's frame; ✕ deletes.
  • A saved text keeps a frame: drag to move it, side handles re-wrap the words, corner handles resize it. Two fingers on a text zoom the picture, like anywhere else.
  • A floating fonts and colours menu above the tool bar or keyboard, compact or full width, that you can drag or flick.
  • Typing on a cropped picture shows the cropped part right above the keyboard.
• The whole picture after a crop: other tools keep the picture in place, the cropped part where the box was and the rest softly blurred around it.
• Crop from any tool: grab a crop corner from any page and keep dragging.
• Pen stays inside the crop: after a crop, strokes stay within the cropped area.
• Floating colour menu for the pen and highlighter, in the style of the Doodles menu.
• The tool bar is always there, also while a text or sticker is selected.
• Pen strokes on top of texts, stickers and Doodles' shapes, on screen and when saved.
• Sticker grabbers: resize stickers from their corners, with undo.
• One menu at a time: the pen, colour, text and Doodles menus close each other.
• Doodles: two fingers now zoom and pan the picture; small shapes move without growing. After a crop, new shapes are drawn only inside the cropped part (existing ones can still be moved anywhere).
• Crop only from the four corners, so swiping in from an edge no longer crops by accident.

The new text tool needs Pixel Studio 2.3.001; on other versions, Pixel Studio's own text tool is used.

🎨 Icons

Icon packs (Themes > Choose Icon pack)

• Use any standard icon pack from the Play Store or sideloaded (ADW / Nova / Lawnchair format).
• Covers the home screen, folders, the dock, the app drawer and drawer search.
• Every pack icon is trimmed and cut into the icon shape you chose in Wallpaper & style, with clean, smooth edges in every shape.
• Apps the pack doesn't include keep their own icons, including themed icons. Packs that use Material You colours follow your phone's colours.
• Changes apply live with a smooth crossfade, no launcher restart. Icons are prepared in advance, so scrolling stays smooth.
• Pick one app's icon from any pack: long-press the app > Change icon > Icon pack, with search and the app's matching icons first. Reset icon goes back.

Colorful icons in the app drawer (Stock) (Themes > Change icons)

• An option for a stock-looking drawer: with themed icons on, the app drawer, its suggestions, drawer search and drawer folders keep each app's own colours. The home screen stays themed.

💎 Google apps (Patreon)

Support Pixel Suite on Patreon and sign in inside the app to unlock these. Locked features are clearly marked and stay off until unlocked.

• 📞 Call recording in the Google Phone app: works in any country, automatic or manual, and without the "This call is now being recorded" announcement. A copy of each recording is saved as M4A, named after the contact and time, in Recordings/Calls or a folder you choose.
• 🚫 Ad blocker: blocks ad and tracker domains for every app and browser, even with Private DNS on, using the HaGeZi Multi LIGHT, AdAway and EasyList lists, updated daily.
  • Chrome: ads on web pages are hidden with EasyList's element rules, so no empty boxes or gaps are left. "Allow ads" and "turn off your ad blocker" pop-ups, sticky ad bars and floating video ads are removed too, and the page scrolls normally again.
  • Chrome's new-tab feed: sponsored stories disappear completely as you scroll, and so do the "Is this a good recommendation for you?" prompts.
  • Google News: cleaner articles, without ads.
• 📰 Hide ads in Google feed: sponsored cards in Discover (and the launcher's left page) disappear completely, frame and gap included.

The pass is checked on your phone and works within seconds, no restart.

🔕 Do Not Annoy

Silence every incoming call while your phone stays connected. Data, Wi-Fi, outgoing calls and messages keep working.

• On Pixels with Pixel's calling stack (Pixel 10 and later), callers hear that your phone is switched off or unavailable. On other phones, calls are declined.
• Emergency calls always ring.
• Each silenced call shows a notification with a Call back button and a call log entry.
• Quick Settings tile included.
• Pixel Watch with LTE: also turns your watch's own mobile network off and back on, with the Pixel Suite Watch app (separate download).

🛡️ OTA & Store blocker

• OTA blocker: stops system update checks and downloads, and removes Software updates from Settings. Lock factory reset greys out Erase all data while it's on.
• Play Store blocker: chosen apps stay on their current version; the Play Store never updates them. Core Pixel apps are held back unless you choose Unlock OEM apps, and uninstalling or disabling them asks for your fingerprint or PIN.

⌚ Pixel Watch eSIM

eSIM setup with a QR code (Google apps > Pixel watch): the Pixel Watch app offers Scan QR code under Mobile network, even where Google says "No carrier supported". A one-time $10 purchase, yours to keep on your phone; Patreon is not required.

🧭 Navigation buttons (Gestures > Navigation buttons)

A hybrid navigation bar: the gesture pill stays, with a button on each side.

• Choose the left and right buttons: Back, Home, Recent apps or none.
• Hold Home for: Circle to Search, Gemini or nothing.
• Buttons follow the pill's light and dark colour and hide on the lock screen.
• With the keyboard open, the Back arrow turns down to close it.
• Swipes from the pill still go Home and to Recents. Taps are instant, with roomy touch areas.

🍞 Toasts (Pixel Launcher > Toasts)

Choose where every toast message appears: Top (as before), Middle, or Bottom (Stock), where Android puts it. All toasts follow your choice, in your surface style and theme.

⚙️ Miscellaneous

• Refresh rate slider: a 60 / 120 Hz slider under Smooth display in Settings > Display & touch. The screen still drops to its lowest rate when nothing moves.
• Show FPS: a live frame counter at the top right for the app in front.
• Backup & restore (About and support): save your whole setup to one file (every setting, drawer folders and sorting, renamed apps, custom icons and share menu choices) and restore it anytime, even after clearing Pixel Launcher's storage or a factory reset. Patreon sign-in and the eSIM purchase aren't included; they stay tied to your account, and Patreon features only switch back on with an active Patreon pass.
• Allow screenshots of secure screens and Hide accessibility from apps are now built entirely on Pixel Suite's own code, with the same behaviour.

💠 A fresh look

• Pixel Suite app redesign: a new home header, colour-coded sections, search across every setting, panels that fit the screen, soft frosted scrolling edges, and an LSPosed scope guide on each feature page that lists exactly which apps to select.
• Super Dark-Mode, deeper: the app's sheets, dialogs, menus and fields share one pure-black palette, and pills and toasts are white on black.
• Glass rims: Frosted Glass panels, folders, menus, toasts and dialogs get a soft glass edge in light and dark theme, and Super Dark's soft rim in Super Dark-Mode, now also on Settings pop-ups. Blur Off keeps plain panels.
• Soft frosted scrolling edges (Frosted Glass) across the whole Settings app and the screens it opens (Google, Wallpaper & style, Permissions, Digital Wellbeing, Pixel Troubleshooting, Personal Safety), and in the app drawer, where apps fade softly under the search bar as you scroll.
• The app drawer always shows its All apps label under the suggestions.
• Open folders show their name in bold, on the left, and folders in the app drawer lift when you hold them, like apps.
• Remove, Cancel and Uninstall light up with an outline as an app reaches them, one at a time. Several selected apps fly into them together.

📱 More Pixel Launchers supported

Pixel Suite now works across more Pixel Launcher versions, including the newest builds with the redesigned app menu. Every feature is loaded on its own, so if a launcher version changes something one feature relies on, the others keep working.

• Pixel Suite's menu options (Create folder, Change icon, Rename, Lock) show on the new Pixel Launcher menu, and Hide app shortcuts works there too.
• Fixed a Pixel Launcher crash when opening an app's menu on newer launcher builds.
• Fixed dragging apps out of the app list, drawer folders and icon label sizing on newer launcher builds.
• Clear all, folder reordering, locked-app and folder protection, and the home screen's Pixel Suite settings row are adapted to the changes in newer launcher builds.

🐞 Bug fixes

• Pixel Studio: after typing a text and pressing ✓, opening Doodles or another tool could add a copy of the text.
• Double tap to sleep: right after a reboot, typing your PIN could turn the screen off.
• Custom and icon-pack icons: swiping an app away no longer briefly shows the stock icon flying back.
• Custom and icon-pack icons: a closed folder's small icons no longer snap to the themed icons at the end of the closing animation.
• Pixel Launcher: after moving several apps at once, Remove or Cancel could overlap Uninstall on the next drag.

🛠️ Google & Pixel bugs fixed

Bugs in Google's own apps that Pixel Suite now fixes:

• Pixel Launcher: themed icons had hard, stepped edges with a thin light rim in every icon shape. They're now drawn smooth, like normal icons.
• Pixel Launcher: closing a folder from its second (or later) page with a non-round icon shape (arch, cookie, clover…) blanked the page while the first page's icons trailed outside the folder. Folders now close cleanly from any page, in every shape.
• Pixel Studio: dragging a crop corner made a selected text jump around. It stays still now.
• Pixel Studio: tapping a text or sticker on the crop page threw away your crop. Your crop is kept.
• Pixel Studio: the tool bar disappeared while a text or sticker was selected. It stays.
• Pixel Studio: picking a pen could fold the tool bar down to that one pen. Fixed.
• Pixel Studio: selecting a text or sticker covered the pen strokes drawn before it. Strokes stay visible.

🔒 Privacy

Pixel Suite has no ads, analytics or tracking, and the module itself never connects to the internet. The Pixel Suite app goes online only for:

• checking for Pixel Suite updates on GitHub (you can turn this off);
• downloading the Ad blocker's lists, while the Ad blocker is on;
• Patreon sign-in and pass renewal, if you sign in;
• the eSIM purchase: activation, restore and an occasional licence check, if you buy it.

Doodles, screenshots, photos, call recordings and your share menu choices stay on your phone. Do Not Annoy talks to your watch over a private Bluetooth connection.

Pixel Suite v2.0.8

A polish and bug-fix update for the screenshot editor, launcher folders and recents, including fixes for bugs in Pixel Studio and Pixel Launcher themselves.

✨ New

• Crop blur (Pixel Studio): cropping now blurs the part you're cutting away, live as you drag, instead of just dimming it. Drag back out and it's sharp again.
• Outlined crop corners: the four corner marks have an outline, so they're easy to see on light and dark screenshots, in your theme's colour.
• Undo for drawer folders: removing a drawer folder now shows "Item removed Undo", like the home screen. Undo puts it back with its apps, name, grid, sort and lock.

🎨 Polish

• Pixel Studio, Frosted Glass (light theme): the tool bar, pen size bar, font bar, trash button and Doodles menu now share one frost, and open with their final look, with no shade shift or blink.
• Pixel Studio: Undo stays faded until there's something to undo. Redo is always shown clearly.
• Pixel Studio: tapping another tool (pen, highlighter, eraser, crop, text) closes Doodles at once.
• Pixel Studio: the Doodles menu fades only while your finger is near it.
• Google Photos: the photo editor's "Discard changes?" dialog now follows your style: frosted with Frosted Glass, light on a light phone, black with the soft rim under Super Dark.
• Landscape recents: "App is locked", "Two apps locked", "App remains locked" and "Cannot dismiss locked apps" read the right way up, centred in the blurred strip below the cards.

🐞 Bug fixes

• Recents: the status bar flickered while scrolling past apps last used in landscape (Android 17 turns their cards), and again after long use.
• Recents: memory leak. Pixel Launcher kept a picture of every split-screen card until it restarted.
• Home screen (Frosted Glass): an app dragged onto a folder went behind the folder once it opened, so it couldn't be dropped in.
• An app dragged onto Remove and then off it stayed see-through.
• A locked drawer folder dragged to the home screen came out unlocked.
• Pixel Studio: on a fresh screenshot, Undo looked available and could undo the previous screenshot's doodles.
• Pixel Studio: with Doodles open, dragging a crop corner sometimes drew an arrow instead of cropping.
• Pixel Studio: with a pen open, Doodles drew pen strokes instead of shapes.
• Pixel Studio: the Doodles menu flickered on every drag.
• Pixel Studio: after cropping, the Doodles menu couldn't be dragged back to its place above the tool bar.
• Pixel Studio: every crop change made the Doodles menu vanish and pop back.

🛠️ Google & Pixel bugs fixed

Bugs in Google's own apps that Pixel Suite now fixes:

• Pixel Studio: the top bar (Delete, Undo, Redo, Share, Save) blinked while you dragged the crop corners. It stays put now, and ✓ / X work as usual.
• Pixel Studio: the crop button changed a moment after the editor opened (its highlight and bolder icon came in late). It looks the same from the first frame now (Frosted Glass, light theme).
• Pixel Launcher: after split screen in landscape, Screenshot / Select / Clear all sat lower in portrait recents, then snapped into place. They're in their place from the first frame now.
• Pixel Launcher: Undo after removing a home folder didn't bring the folder back. Now it grows back into its place (with its page, if it was alone there), and a locked folder gets its lock back.

Setup

Update and reboot. Keep the recommended LSPosed scope (with Pixel Studio and Google Photos).
Tested on Pixel 11 Pro, Android 17, Pixel Launcher 17.

Pixel Suite 2.0.7 (build 314)

🐛 Fixes:

• Screenshot previews no longer go blank after the first screenshot with Reduce screenshot delay on.
• The first screenshot after a restart is instant again.
• Turning Reduce screenshot delay off no longer crashes the screenshot service.
• The status bar no longer flashes in recents when the phone is sideways with auto-rotate off.

Install over the current build and reboot.

Pixel Suite 2.0.6

🔒 Privacy & Security

• Lock apps and folders with your fingerprint or phone PIN. Open the app or folder’s long-press menu and choose Lock. Choose Unlock from the same menu to remove its lock.
• Protect locked apps: require authentication before uninstalling, disabling or pausing them, including uninstalling through the Play Store, or removing a locked folder. Cancel a folder’s removal, and it pops back into place.
• Fingerprint prompt: shows the locked app’s own icon and name, with a Pin button to switch to your PIN.
• Private recents previews: protected apps show a blurred preview and can’t be opened in split screen from recents.
• Relock timing: lock apps again as soon as you leave and folders when you close them, or enable Keep unlocked for 1 minute.
• Animated padlocks identify locked apps and folders on the home screen, in the drawer and in Google search. They animate when you lock or unlock.
• Deleting a locked folder or uninstalling a locked app removes its lock, so new folders and reinstalled apps start unlocked.
• A folder lock protects opening the folder. Its apps can still open from elsewhere unless you lock them individually.

Setup: select System Framework, Pixel Launcher and System UI in Pixel Suite’s LSPosed scope, then reboot. Your phone needs a screen lock configured.

🗂️ Recent Apps

• Lock cards in recents: choose Lock from a card’s menu to keep it when swiping or using Clear all. Tap its padlock badge to unlock it.
• Separate split-screen locks: lock either app independently. Clearing the pair removes unlocked apps while keeping locked ones.
• Recents locks survive a reboot. They protect the card from dismissal; Android can still close the app in the background.
• Clear all: locked cards fade back in, each removal gives a light tick, and the action row sits lower to make room for lock badges. Split pairs dim Screenshot and Select instead of hiding them.
• Landscape view: app names stay centered above their cards, and the status bar fades out. It returns when you rotate back or leave recents.
• Always show Clear all and Lock apps in recents now share the Recent Apps settings page.

🖐️ Gestures

• Three-finger screenshot responds faster and triggers more reliably.

⚙️ Miscellaneous

• Reduce screenshot delay: keeps the screenshot service ready after a real screenshot, making later captures appear instantly. The first screenshot after a restart runs at normal speed. Uses a little extra memory while enabled.
• Allow screenshots of secure screens: take screenshots and recordings in apps that normally block them.
• Hide accessibility from apps: choose which apps cannot see your enabled accessibility services. The searchable picker includes user/system filters, and checked apps move to the top immediately.
• Keyboard bar tweak: hide the globe and move the dismiss arrow to the right in the bar beneath your keyboard (Gboard and FUTO Keyboard). Requires gesture navigation and restarts your keyboard when changed.
• Hide Developer Options: regular apps can’t tell Developer options, USB debugging or wireless debugging are on, so apps that refuse to open with them on work normally. Settings and debugging keep working as usual.
• Developer options shortcut: tap the animated gear to open Developer options. The gear works independently of the hiding switch; tapping the rest of the row toggles the option.

Setup: select System Framework for the screenshot, accessibility and Developer options controls. Select your keyboard for the keyboard bar tweak. Reopen apps that were already running after changing Hide Developer Options.

Remove DisableFlagSecure before enabling secure screenshots, and DoNotTryAccessibility before enabling accessibility hiding. Credits are shown under their respective options.

🎨 Improvements

• Custom icon editor: move and zoom your selected image before applying it, with Reset to restore its position and zoom.
• Consistent icon shapes: app icons and folder previews follow your chosen shape, including icons in Google search.
• Themed icons: now color every app in the drawer and the icons you drag together.
• Adaptive folder grids: folders resize to fit their contents. Grid choices appear from 3 apps, with 4×4 available from 10 apps and 5×5 from 17 apps. Your larger grid choice returns as the folder fills.
• Single-app folders: folders can keep one app and still open and close normally.
• Drag to home screen: the pill lights up and gives a light vibration as soon as the icon touches it.
• Split-screen previews: improved how app previews fill their cards after leaving split screen.
• Shortcut menus: long-press menus stay beside the app instead of covering its icon.
• Super Dark inside Pixel Suite: the app now uses matching black backgrounds, cards, menus and dialogs when Super Dark-Mode and the phone’s dark theme are enabled.
• Clearer settings: revised descriptions, improved feature previews and updated setup notes.

🐛 Fixes

• Fixed apps disappearing after moving them between folders and the drawer.
• Fixed outdated folder previews and incorrect drag targets after moving apps.
• Fixed icon reset, thin edges around custom icons and inconsistent icon shapes.
• Fixed themed icons briefly flashing their original colors.
• Fixed app icons flickering in Google search while typing, and apps with the same name now show their own icons.
• Fixed the Item removed / Undo pill appearing in the wrong place, and it now follows Super Dark.
• Fixed a blue-grey flash when opening the Google feed or Google app with Super Dark on, and made Settings search fully black.
• Fixed missing Super Dark styling in uninstall dialogs.

Install over the current official build, then reboot.

• Fixed the first app shrinking away and leaving an empty spot when creating a drawer folder from several held apps.

🚀 Pixel Suite 2.0.4

🎨 New Frosted Glass Slider!

• New slider under Themes changes the look of supported folders, shortcut menus, toast messages, Google Photos menus and dialogs.

  • Blur Off: turns off blur, including the phone’s window blur. White in light mode, tinted black in dark mode.

  • Stock: keeps Google’s surfaces, while preserving your icon sizes and menu positions.

  • Frosted Glass (Default): blurs the background behind these surfaces with Pixel Suite’s tint.

• Super Dark keeps surfaces black with blur off. While the phone is in dark mode, turn off Super Dark-Mode before changing surface styles. The slider works normally in light mode.

• A looping preview shows each style. Move the slider to try it instantly.

📸 Doodles in Google Photos

⚠️ For Doodles in Google Photos: select Google Photos in Pixel Suite’s LSPosed scope, then restart Photos or reboot. Enable it under Doodles → Google Photos.

• New Doodles tab beside Crop, with shapes, arrows, colors, thickness, fill and delete controls.

• Fully expanded toolbar with scrolling colors and an animated entrance and exit. The menu stays black in light and dark modes.

• Save your drawings, then reopen the photo to move, resize, recolor or delete its shapes. Revert removes saved Doodles.

• Shapes stay aligned while cropping, zooming or rotating. Drag the photo edges to crop with Doodles open.

• Supports Ultra HDR output and its gain map.

🔒 Works completely offline. Doodles runs directly inside Google Photos, on your phone. Your photos stay private—all Doodles processing happens locally.

Pixel Suite adds the Doodles tab inside Google Photos and draws your shapes over the photo while you edit. When you tap Save, Photos’ own editor saves the result. The editable shapes stay in Photos’ private storage so you can adjust them later.

It uses Photos’ existing editor without changing your account, subscription or device identity. Your backup settings stay as they are.

✨ Enhancements

• Doodles: center snapping with guide lines and light vibration feedback. Lines and arrows snap horizontally or vertically when close.

• Google Photos: matching frosted bottom tab bar and search button. The trash/Undo pill sits just above the bar with matching width.

• Toast messages: app messages now appear at the top in compact pills, following your surface style and theme.

• Super Dark-Mode: pure-black Doodles menus with a subtle border, plus matching dark editor controls and dialogs.

⚡ Less background work

• Drawing effects now run only while the screens that need them are open, with fewer repeated calculations and redraws.

🐛 Bug fixes

• App shortcut menus: fixed split backgrounds and menus getting cut off inside drawer folders. Menus now use one matching panel, with fading edges when there’s more to scroll.

• Google Photos messages: fixed the wrong pill colors in Stock and Blur Off. They now follow light and dark mode.

• Dragging an app directly from a drawer folder to the Uninstall button now also removes it from that folder, leaving no leftover icon.

• Shortcut menus inside home-screen folders now blur the folder behind them, within the menu frame.

• Fixed Pixel Studio’s Back, X and Done controls getting stuck after switching tools.

• Fixed Google Photos’ selection and confirmation panels not following Super Dark-Mode.

Install over the current official build and reboot.

Pixel Suite v2.0.3

What's new in 2.0.3:

This update brings a redesigned Doodles menu, more reliable folder interactions, fixes for Pixel Studio and Super Dark, and cleaner settings throughout Pixel Suite.

🏠 Home-screen menu

• Removed the redundant Apps list option—you can already open the app drawer by swiping up.

🌗 App launch

• Fixed the white flash when opening Pixel Suite in dark theme. The launch screen now follows the system's light or dark theme from the start.

✏️ Doodles redesign

• A wider, shorter menu with neatly aligned shapes, colors, Delete and Done controls.
• Tap More shapes or the rainbow icon to expand for more shapes and colors. Tap the arrow on the right to fold it back.
• Drag or flick the menu vertically up or down to reposition it. It stays within the editing area and clear of the navigation bar.
• Selection outlines and handles hide while drawing, moving, resizing or pinching, then return when you release. Smaller handles keep their original touch area.
• Hidden controls no longer catch taps while the menu is folded.

📁 Drawer folders

• The Back gesture from either edge closes the open folder first; the next Back gesture leaves the drawer. Canceling the gesture keeps the folder open.
• Fixed quick taps during opening and closing accidentally launching an app behind the folder.
• Fixed icon, size and label jumps after reordering folder contents. Folder previews update once the folder has settled.

🗂️ Home folders and menus

• Smoother folder closing after moving apps, with the stock spring animations preserved.
• Auto (A–Z) and Custom sorting expand inside the same Sort menu, matching drawer folders.
• More compact Rename, Remove, Sort, Change icon and Add apps prompts, with consistent light, dark and Super Dark styling.

✂️ Pixel Studio

• Fixed, and should be much harder to break after future updates.

🧹 Recents

• Fixed a rare issue where Clear all became disabled after restarting, including when a task had no thumbnail.
• Select and Screenshot keep their normal behavior.

🌑 Super Dark

• Fixed a few places where the dark theme wasn't applying, including supported System UI dialogs and Pixel Launcher's Home settings.
• Made theme handling more efficient by reducing repeated background-color processing.
• Keeps automatic light/dark schedules and restores blur when appropriate.

✨ Cleaner Pixel Suite settings

• Shorter descriptions across feature pages, focused on what each option does and how to use it.
• Kept animated previews, essential setup instructions, reset guidance and the system font-settings location.
• The in-app changelog shows the latest update, with a link to the full release history on GitHub.

Install over the current official version and reboot. No uninstall is needed.

Pixel Suite v2.0.2

This update brings Super Dark-Mode, better drawer-folder movement, and the folder/menu fixes from the latest rounds of testing. Thanks to everyone who helped test it.

🌑 Super Dark-Mode

• New Themes section: Find Super Dark-Mode under Themes in Pixel Suite. It starts disabled.
• Black backgrounds: Supported Settings, notification shade, quick settings, lock-screen PIN/pattern backgrounds, launcher, Google search and Gboard surfaces use black or near-black colors. Cards remain distinct from the background; apps with their own palettes can look different.
• Follows your theme: Switching to light mode restores the normal light theme. Switching back to dark reapplies Super Dark, including with a dark-theme schedule.
• Solid folder menus: Folder panels, their three-dot menus and app shortcut menus share the same near-black tone under Super Dark. With blur disabled, menu backgrounds are opaque so text and icons behind them do not show through. App shortcut menus also follow Super Dark when other launcher customizations are off.
• Applies after reboot: The saved setting is available early in System UI startup. Targeted lock-screen color hooks apply without restarting System UI or sending you back to the lock screen.
• Window-level blur is disabled while Super Dark is active in dark mode. It is restored in light mode or when the option is disabled, provided Pixel Suite was the feature that disabled it. This reduces blur work; no measured battery-saving percentage is claimed.

🗂️ Better drawer-folder movement

• Drag a folder among the folder rows and nearby folders slide aside to show its new position.
• Moving down among regular apps restores the previous positions; folders remain together in their own rows.
• Fixed folders jumping or shaking after a drop, duplicate refreshes and stale folder positions.
• Carrying a drawer folder onto the home screen shows Cancel instead of Remove until it is placed.

✨ Folder menus and drag polish

• Sort in a held folder menu folds open Auto (A–Z) and Custom, with matching icons and animation. Auto asks for confirmation; Custom keeps your own ordering.
• Menus fit their longest labels and give text and check marks room, including with larger system fonts.
• Opening the three-dot menu no longer lifts the folder and causes a stutter when it closes.
• Remove, Cancel and Uninstall fade in after a drag begins so they do not appear cut off.

🔄 Restart when you’re ready

A small Restart shortcut appears after relevant Pixel Launcher or Files settings change. Tap it to restart the affected app, or hold it to dismiss.

Feature demonstrations have also been refined: clearer two-finger gestures, selecting several apps and moving them home, separate folder creation/sorting examples, and grid changes that start after the selection tap. Previews pause between loops and stop when hidden or when you leave the app.

📥 Update and setup

Install PixelSuite-v2.0.2.apk over your current official build, keep the recommended LSPosed scopes, and reboot. No uninstall is needed.

For Super Dark-Mode, select System UI, Pixel Launcher, Google, Gboard and Settings in Pixel Suite’s LSPosed scope. Keep the existing scopes for the other features you use. Open Pixel Suite after updating to save the startup setting if you already had Super Dark enabled in a preview.

Pixel Suite v2.0.1

This update brings together the recent folder and drag improvements, a cleaner recording sheet, and fixes across the launcher. Thanks to everyone who helped test the builds along the way.

✌️ Move several apps together

• Build a stack: Hold and drag an app, then tap others with a second finger. A counter shows your selection; drop the group onto the home screen or into a folder.
• Navigate while dragging: Swipe with a second finger to change home or folder pages, or scroll the drawer. Touch again to stop the drawer’s momentum.
• Remove shortcuts together: Drop several home-screen shortcuts on Remove without uninstalling their apps.
• Selections inside folders stay within the source folder, and the drawer behind an open folder stays still.

🗂️ Better folder controls

• Live reordering: In Custom mode, drawer-folder apps make room under your finger and selected apps land together, including across pages.
• Sort your way: Choose Auto (A–Z) or Custom from the three-dot menu. Switching to alphabetical sorting asks for confirmation. Home folders also have Rename and Sort in their long-press menu.
• Take apps out: A Remove target beside Add to home screen returns selected apps from a drawer folder to the drawer without uninstalling them.
• Folder frames fit their contents, with smoother page changes, exits and removal transitions. Removing a folder returns its apps to the alphabetical drawer.
• Choose 3×3, 4×4 or 5×5 inside each folder; redundant default-grid settings have been removed. Home and drawer folder choices remain separate.

🎥 A cleaner screen-recording prompt

The optional Screen recording sheet control places X and Start beneath the recording options and removes the long warning row and unused space. Recording still starts only when you press Start. Turn it off to restore the stock prompt; supported System UI versions are required.

✨ Launcher fixes and polish

• Reset icon reliably restores the original icon, including after changing icon shapes.
• Home-screen long press keeps the menu near your finger instead of jumping far down, while preserving its stock look and animation.
• Taller shortcut menus fit their actions inside the panel, including Rename and Bubble, while respecting the Add to home screen target.
• Custom icons follow the shape selected in Wallpaper & style. Live name and icon updates continue to work across home, drawer and both searches.
• Fixed invisible apps after dragging, duplicate drag images, stuck or flashing folders, and a crash when moving several apps out of a home folder.
• Reduced unnecessary redraws and removed temporary diagnostics.

🔔 Updates inside Pixel Suite

• An Updates page adds automatic checks, Check now, notification controls and Download and install.
• An update appears only after a newer stable release is published on both GitHub and Xposed, with matching APK name, size and SHA-256 hash. Drafts, previews and local builds do not trigger notices.
• Downloads stay inside the app and show percentage progress. Pixel Suite verifies the APK and release signature, then opens Android’s installation confirmation—no browser or manual file picker.
• Checks are periodic, scheduled by Android, rather than instant push notifications. Notification permission is needed for alerts; Android may also ask you to allow installs from Pixel Suite. Installation still requires your confirmation.

🎨 Settings and previews

• Clearer feature descriptions and matching animated demonstrations for the new recording, sorting and drag controls.
• Previews pause between loops and stop when hidden or when you leave the app. System animation preferences and battery-saving behavior remain respected.
• Popups match the settings page colors in light and dark modes. The header has equal-sized Telegram, Patreon and Coffee actions, with Your Pixel. Your Way. beneath the title.
• The in-app changelog shows only the latest update under What’s new:, with a link to the full release history on GitHub.

📥 Install

Install PixelSuite-v2.0.1.apk over the current official build, keep the recommended LSPosed scope selected, then reboot. No uninstall is needed.

Tested on a Pixel 11 Pro. It should also work on other Pixel devices. Feedback is welcome. Testing has used Android 17, LSPosed API 102 and Pixel Launcher 17. Individual features depend on the installed system and app versions.

Pixel Suite v2.0.0

🏠 Open Pixel Suite from your home screen

Touch and hold an empty area of the home screen, then tap Pixel Suite settings. Your controls are one long press away.

After 45 preview updates, v2.0.0 brings the launcher work, screenshot tools and redesigned settings together. Thanks to everyone who tested, reported problems and helped refine the small details.

🎨 A redesigned settings app

• Everything in one place: Buttons, Gestures, Pixel Launcher and Files have their own sections. Each feature has a separate control, icon and explanation.
• Light and dark themes: Cleaner spacing and consistent menus follow your system theme.
• Animated demonstrations: See how a feature works before using it. Animations pause between loops and stop when you leave.
• In-app changelog: Read release notes without opening a browser.

📱 Launcher and app drawer

• 📁 Drawer folders: Create folders inside the drawer, rename them, add apps, sort their contents or remove them. Released apps return to an alphabetically sorted drawer.
• 🔲 Separate folder grids: Pick 3×3, 4×4 or 5×5 independently for home-screen and drawer folders, with refined icon spacing and transitions.
• ↗️ Drag to home: Move apps within the drawer, then drag to Add to home screen when you want to place one on the home screen.
• ✏️ Rename apps instantly: Names update across home, folders, drawer and both app searches without a manual refresh. Restore the original name at any time.
• 🖼️ Change icons: Choose an image through Photos or Files. It follows the launcher's icon shape and updates across the same places. A reset control restores the original.
• 🔤 Icon label size: Five optional text sizes let you fit more of an app name without resizing its icon. Disabled by default.
• 🧩 Hide app shortcuts: Hide app-provided drawer actions while keeping basic launcher and Pixel Suite options.
• 🧹 Clear all in recents: Moves from the stock far-left location to an always-visible position alongside Select and Screenshot.
• ✨ Folder and menu polish: Refined opening/closing transitions, dropdown placement and local frosted backgrounds. Blur stays inside the panel frame.

📸 New screenshot editing tools

• ✂️ Free crop: Make tighter screenshot crops in supported Pixel Studio versions, with easier-to-grab edges for narrow selections.
• 🎨 Doodles: Add arrows, lines, rectangles, circles, triangles, stars and speech bubbles. Adjust color, thickness and fill, then move or resize your shapes.
• ↩️ Undo and Redo: Use the editor's controls for Doodles on supported versions. Shapes are included when you save or share the screenshot.

👆 Buttons and gestures

Your existing shortcuts remain available with individual controls in Pixel Suite:

• 🔦 Power-button flashlight: Double-press power to toggle the torch.
• 📷 Volume-down camera: Double-press volume down on the always-on display to open the camera, with media and call safeguards.
• 🖐️ Three-finger screenshots: Swipe down with three fingers to capture the screen.
• 🌙 Double-tap to sleep: Lock the phone from empty home-screen space, with configurable lock-screen behavior too.
• ☀️ Tap to wake: Choose single- or double-tap wake and adjust lock-screen interactions in one place.

🗂️ Files, newest first

Newest-first sorting now covers Files by Google and supported Android file pickers. Folders stay above files, and files sort from newest to oldest. Turn the option off to restore the apps' normal sorting.

📥 Update and setup

Install PixelSuite-v2.0.0.apk over the previous version and reboot. No uninstall is needed when updating with the same release signature.

Check LSPosed → Pixel Suite → Scope. Include Google for home-screen search changes and Pixel Studio for screenshot tools. All controls now live in the Pixel Suite app.

Tested on a Pixel 11 Pro. It should also work on other Pixel devices. Feedback is welcome. Testing has used Android 17 and LSPosed API 102; other Pixel models have not yet been confirmed. Pixel Studio tools target 2.3.001 (192285). Compatibility depends on your system and app versions. Wake reliability and battery use depend on device state and movement; no measured overnight percentage is available.

Pixel Suite v1.1.3

Improved double-tap wake that adapts to how the phone is resting, with better handling of soft taps, pickup and missed attempts.

What changed

• Better wake detection in your hand or on your lap. The held/still check also recognizes a phone resting on your thigh. While held, the touchscreen stays touch-active on the always-on display so both taps can be real touches.
• Bounded held-touch periods. Held mode runs for up to 90 seconds per stretch, with a regular four-minute budget per lock. After a missed tap, a short recovery can re-arm touch while the phone is held.
• Low-power behavior when resting still. On a desk or nightstand, the always-on display returns to low-power mode and motion readings help detect the second tap. An extra tap within three seconds is a backup if a quick double tap misses.
• Softer second taps are detected more readily on a still phone.
• Pickup and charging fixes. Better handling of taps just after pickup and small shifts while charging.
• Lockscreen interaction fix. Delayed touch events are handled to prevent a double tap from opening lockscreen customization unexpectedly.

Why this approach is better

Touch detection is used where motion-based detection is less dependable, such as a held phone or one resting on a lap. When the phone is still, the display can return to low-power operation instead of keeping the touchscreen touch-active throughout standby.

Movement, very soft taps and a vibrating car mount can still affect detection. The held-mode budget also limits how long touch stays active; this is not a guarantee that every double tap will register in every position.

Testing and battery

Tested on my Pixel 11 Pro with Android 17 and LSPosed API 102. It is working well in my testing so far, and I have not noticed additional battery drain. No measured overnight percentage is available; this is not a claim of zero power use. Other devices remain untested.

Install / update

Install PixelSuite-v1.1.3.apk over the previous public release, then reboot. No uninstall is needed when updating with the same signing key.

Pixel Suite v1.1.1

Tap or Double tap to wake is now one setting. Everything lives in Settings › System › Gestures › Tap or Double Tap to check phone.

What's new

• Master toggle "Tap or Double tap to wake" with all options on one page: tap to wake, double tap to wake, double tap on the lock screen to sleep, and lock screen shortcuts.
• Lock screen shortcuts toggle (off by default):
  • Off: tapping the clock, alarm, weather or other lock screen cards no longer launches apps, and tapping them no longer vibrates.
  • On: stock behavior, including the stock vibration.
  • The clock still expands as normal.
• "Tap or Double Tap to check phone" now sits above "Double tap to sleep" in the Gestures list.

Fixes

• Alarm and weather cards no longer launch apps after a double tap and unlock.
• Double tap no longer gets disarmed by cancelled swipes or by long-pressing into Customize lock screen.
• Stray vibrations on the lock screen after waking, swiping back or tapping repeatedly are gone.
• Unlock haptics are unaffected.

Install

LSPosed → Modules → enable Pixel Suite → scope System Framework → reboot.
Android 17 (Pixel 11 Pro tested).

Pixel Suite v1.1.2

What's new

• Tap or Double tap to wake is now one setting. Double tap the lock screen to sleep is part of it, and with Double tap to wake one double tap now works on the always-on display too (the separate "One double tap on Always On Display" switch is gone). Keeping the touchscreen awake there uses a little extra battery while the always-on display is showing (none while charging), and it pauses itself in a pocket, with Battery Saver on, or when the battery is low.
• New lock screen choice in Settings → System → Gestures → Tap or Double Tap to check phone, replacing the old "Lock screen shortcuts" switch:
  • Modded behavior (recommended): the alarm, weather and date under the clock act like empty space and lock screen taps don't vibrate, so a double tap to sleep never opens anything by mistake.
  • Stock behavior: the lock screen stays as Google made it, with tappable cards and tap vibrations. A double tap that lands on a card can open it instead of turning the screen off.
• Fixed: unlocking with your fingerprint right after locking could pull the notification shade down.
• Fixed: a double tap to wake right after locking could be missed while the lock screen was still coming up.
• Lighter on battery: the lock screen touch listener now only runs while the lock screen can show (before, it saw every touch all day), the three-finger screenshot listener only runs while that feature is on, the flashlight shares Pixel Suite's background thread instead of keeping its own, and internal lookups and Files sorting are cached.
• Fixed: in the module's settings screen, a switch flipped while the screen was reloading could jump back.

Install / update

Install the APK over the previous version (no uninstall needed) and reboot. Tested on a Pixel 11 Pro running Android 17 with LSPosed (API 102).

What's new

• New: "Tap or Double Tap to check phone". The Settings > System > Gestures page now offers two options, Tap to wake and Double tap to wake. Turning one on turns the other off.
• New: "Double tap lock screen to sleep". Double tap anywhere on the lock screen to turn the screen off. It never triggers while the PIN pad is open.
• Both options can also be toggled in the Pixel Suite app.

Install

Install then reboot.

Notes

• The Settings page rename only matches the English text.
• This feature relies on private Android framework names, so a future Android update may break it.

First release.

• Always-visible "Clear all" in recents
• Double-press power button for flashlight
• Three-finger swipe down for screenshot
• Double-tap empty home screen to lock
• Files by Google folders sorted newest-first
