- Google Pixel Launcher v10
The version 10 of the Pixel Launcher is already available for Google Pixel 3 (XL) and other Pixel devices running Android 10. Although the Pixel 4 Launcher app offers similar features and works almost the same.
However, there’s one new feature, small yet functional that accompanies the leaked launcher app. That is, now you can swipe down from any part of the home screen to pull down the Notification Panel. Which means, you would no more need to reach out to the top edge of the screen to view your notifications. It’s worth noting that there’s no individual option to enable or disable this feature in the launcher app’s settings menu.
Below is a short video by us, demonstrating the new swipe-down feature in action on a Pixel 3 XL running Android 10.
This new feature is already present in some popular third-party launcher apps like Nova Launcher. According to XDA, this feature was available for a brief period in Android 10 Beta but was removed later. Probably because Google wanted to keep it exclusive to the Pixel 4 (at least until the launch).

DOWNLOAD GOOGLE PIXEL 4 LAUNCHER APP:
The latest Google Pixel 4 Launcher app is only compatible with older Pixel devices running Android 10 and have the Pixel Launcher pre-installed on them.
⇒ com.google.android.apps.nexuslauncher_10-701_minAPI29(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
We are quite convinced that someone over at the XDA forums will surely modify it to work on other devices like the Essential Phone, OnePlus 7 (Pro), and OnePlus 6/6T that have been updated to Android 10 already.
- Google Pixel 4 Live Wallpapers (Port)
The official Pixel Wallpapers app that comes built-in on Pixel 4 was also leaked out and it includes some very unique and interesting live wallpapers this time. However, the leaked Pixel Wallpapers 19 APK from the Pixel 4 couldn’t be directly installed on any device. But not to worry, XDA Recognized Developer Pranav Pandey has been able to port all the Google Pixel 4 (XL) Live Wallpapers for ARM 64-bit devices running Android 7.0 Nougat and above. He is the same person who previously ported the live wallpapers from the Pixel 2 and Pixel 3.
The new app includes several unique and interesting live wallpapers:
Googe Pixel 4 Live Wallpapers Port – Doodle Live Wallpaper
Googe Pixel 4 Live Wallpapers Port – Compass Live Wallpaper
Googe Pixel 4 Live Wallpapers Port – Sights from the sun Live Wallpaper
Googe Pixel 4 Live Wallpapers Port – Switzerland in Living Universe section
Doodle: You might might recognize this wallpaper if you have seen the leaked pictures of the Google Pixel 4. According to this specific wallpaper’s description you can “Tap, drag, and fling! This wallpaper is yours to create“. Which means, you can tweak the elements shown on the live wallpaper as you wish. Once you select the wallpaper, you’d see a new “Customise” tab to help you do the same. So, you can now play with your phone’s home screen too!
Compass: This is a second new addition to the “Come Alive” section of the wallpapers app. It lets you pick a specific location, and the compass will point right in that direction to show you the way. Quite playful and functional at the same time, wouldn’t you say?
Sights from the sun: This new wallpaper is the third new addition to the “Come Alive” set. It allows you to see movements of all the planets and their moons in our solar system. Cool, right?
Also, several new locations like Tarout Bay, Saudi Arabia, Mount Pilatus, Switzerland, Uluru, and Australia have also been added to the “Living Universe” section of the wallpapers app.
Something even more interesting about these live wallpapers is that turn into dark colors when the system-wide Dark theme is enabled on your device running Android 10. Technically, the app uses the WallpaperColors API that was introduced back with Android 8.1 Oreo. According to Pranav Pandey, the said API needed to be disabled in order for the Pixel 4 Live Wallpapers port to work on older Android devices.
So, the live wallpapers on any device running Android 9 Pie (excluding Samsung Galaxy devices running Android Pie devices with OneUI) or below will not adapt to the system-wide dark theme. The developer has stated that he will be releasing a separate APK of the port for that. So, keep your hopes up!
DOWNLOAD GOOGLE PIXEL 4 LIVE WALLPAPERS PORT APK:
The provided port is compatible with any device with ARM 64 architecture and running Android 7.0 Nougat and above. Before you install, it is strongly advised that you have removed any previous Pixel Wallpapers port from your device.

Another part of this feature, that makes it even more awesome, is that you can search through the transcription to find specific sections of the recorded audio.
