How I CUSTOMIZE My Google Pixel 9 Pro XL!

[@TechnicallyTee]

One thing I forgot to mention in the video is when you apply the icon pack, it might not look like what I have shown in the video. You must go to the steps below to get them transparent. Nova settings Look and Feel Icon Style Reshape legacy icons off

[@Mark23Martin]

Finally someone to explain how to use something with out having music playing in the background but Nova Launcher is one of the best launchers around!!!

[@kaiheyden]

No issues with the Animations in nur Nova ? They seem all broken on every launcher i try

[@ra1913]

The downside for me is that animations on 3rd party launchers are just broken. Sometimes they open with a nice animation, sometimes theres none at all, pair that with some recent gesture bugs so for me stock launcher is the only option. Great guide for people who want to use Nova tho!

[@kaiheyden]

I agree almost unusable

[@Alexander0189]

Nova is the absolute king. I dont use any android phone without it!

[@iordaniskaravasilis]

Like the fact Tee switched from Samsung 1. No bloatware 2. I consider Apple & Google the home team.

[@HoodScents]

I'm leaving Apple and now looking into some Android ecosystem, I'm really intrested in Samsung and Pixel. It's just amazing what you can do with those phones, customization is really cool. Thanks for a great video!

[@KillzoneDave-z6w]

Thanks Tee, just got the pixel 9 Pro XL after coming from iPhone, hated the google launcher. Followed your instructions and it feels so much better. Thank you

[@forthewolves]

How did you get the icons to be transparent?

[@Phyto-mechanic]

I like Nova, but I cannot leave Microsoft launcher because it has the daily wallpaper feature that other launchers do not have and it's free, for the pixel it's blends well because it can change accent colours based on wallpaper, so my phone looks different each day. Linex is what I'm using, it's a nice icon pack, icons look nice and simple. Thanks for the vid, it's informative

[@kpehe100]

At a glance is the only feature I would buy the Google phone for. I miss it a lot when I use another phone

[@BigDon._jr]

Keep dropping these kinda vids bro !

[@chrisbhoy8855]

I kist installed nova launcher but when i swipe up my phone takes me back to my own pixel launcher how do i default to nova launcher

[@aadamali4655]

For some reason i cannot get my weather app widget to look like what is on his screen. It only shows the current time weather, anyone else had this issue thats been able to get it like what it is in this video? 0:32

[@khalilsstories]

Thank you bro!!

[@KingKpop]

I saw your previous video and immediately took this same style. Nova Launcher is the best! I have the same setup you have.

[@kalvintaylor9842]

Mine is not showing the battery or the signal strength at the top.. any tips?

[@dedrickjackson4681]

Because you made this video i am going to subscribe. Thanks man.

[@Ravi-sf7sh]

how do you transfer existing app, settings etc. from Samsung S24 to PIxel 9 pro

[@GamerLCD]

You kinda addressed this right at the beginning of the video, but I’m guessing this launcher wonk work with my Pixel9 Fold?

[@TechnicallyTee]

Idk because it gets a little weird when it comes to foldables.

[@dammit7045]

How do you chnage the status bar icons.? So for example if your on a wifi 7 network the wifi displays 7 or a 6 for wifi 6

[@evacody1249]

This is why I like Samsung over Pixel. I can do far more without having to use a 3rd party launcher.

[@TrueBangers]

[@danushprashad3577]

can you do a video about the best phone cases available for pixel 9 ?

[@cedricsanon7878]

How do you update nova launcher? And if they are web updates to download over Chrome, are they safe to use?

[@TechnicallyTee]

Nova updates in the Play store.

[@cedricsanon7878]

@@TechnicallyTee thanks man, I had nova way back in the day. Have you noticed any performance hits in using the launcher as opposed to the pixel launcher?

[@dandieleman2715]

Man I've been searching for 20min trying to find the setting to make the icons black like yours....mind sharing how to get to that setting? I'm sure Ive probably skipped right over it but I give up

[@TechnicallyTee]

I meant to show that in the video. Nova settings>Look and Feel>Icon Style>Reshape legacy icons to off.

[@alejandrofarias7943]

Why does nova run so smooth for you I have a pixel 9 pro and it's very janky I paid for the prime , getting out of apps animations choppy even when I set everything to default animations

[@Pomacat]

Been using it myself for 10 or 15 years

[@TechnicallyTee]

Same, can't even tell you when I bought it lol.

[@15stang]

What lights and app do you use in your studio? I really like being able to control lights from my phone

[@mrpinderazdown7067]

How's your experience with the ultra watch and the pixel?

[@TechnicallyTee]

It's been solid. I plan to do a video about the experience. From what I use everything works.

[@MathersMahmood]

I use Beeline. Like the neon icons better and has tonnes of icons.

[@TechnicallyTee]

Yeah I've heard of that also. So many great options out there.

[@JR007x]

Amazing and making us iPhone users look bad! Fire setup! PS, I wish LineX existing for the iPhone.

[@Ash-gx8ho]

Very clean looking home screen !

Thanks as always Jeff and hope you're well.

[@sforsyth01]

What are you going to do when Nova is sunsetted because there is no one left to work on it?

[@MichaelOblitey]

What case are you using for your phone bro?

[@TechnicallyTee]

I'm using the Thinbourne. I wanted a thin case because I love the way this case feels.

[@JulieHowell-r6y]

Can I easily transfer nova settings to another phone

[@edkennedy1053]

Gestures work ok with nova on a pixel?

[@chrisgutierrez4030]

I downloaded this icon pack and the icons look nothing like yours.

[@carlygriffis3808]

Can you customize the chats for text besides the bubbles?

[@sawdizzle]

Whats tbr comparisons with fold and pixel?

[@andrew_tntfit]

The app animations are a bit whack they go super fast when closing and you can see app goes to centre then back to where the icon is not smooth at all

[@The20ali20]

"They always update it" - the parent company "Branch" fired everyone but one person so if anything there would be some maintenance for near future but the actual future of this launcher is unknown as of now.

[@snaredrummer0123]

The dev they who is still around is the original developer who started Nova Launcher. He says layoff should not effect the launcher

[@d.j.wallace61]

I would love for Google to step up there stock launcher so we don't have to use any third-party launcher.

[@kemistrypops]

Great video and how's the gesture navigation when using nova? Also which case are you using for the pixel. Please give us some pixel accessories videos too

[@manusharma5059]

How did you get the weather displayed on the home screen. I have on other phone, not a pixel 9 pro xl. I saw on yours. Yes, I use paid Nova Launcher prime.

[@MeLrOsE429]

Sorry if this is answered in the video I am just starting the video and posting the question first 😬....how is this launcher on battery life? Thanks in advance.

[@TechnicallyTee]

Doesnt show any type of battery drain at all. Never had an issue with that.

[@sglatitude]

Let’s go 🎉

[@TechnicallyTee]

💪🏽💪🏽

[@BIGTANKGUNREViews]

I found out that Nova didn't work good on my ZF6 the hard way smh

[@angelcerda1111]

Line x is not neon like that! The icons are actually white with colored lines.

[@TechnicallyTee]

It's a setting that you can change that makes it transparent.

[@besper13]

Not pixel related but have you seen that new nomad apple watch band? Rocky Point looks amazing!!

[@TechnicallyTee]

Looks very good and I will have mine this week. Can't wait to check them out because they do look very good.

[@ryansavage1410]

My man's said "I dont like that they force you to have the weather at a glance on the home page" then puts the weather widget on his home page. Come on Man!

#1 Don't ever get a pixel if your going to use a Launcher.

[@TechnicallyTee]

Nothing wrong with running a launcher.

[@Vsw1zzy]

You do what you do with your phone

[@davidmorrison5186]

It's your phone lol but I get what he is saying. Lol People grab the pixel for the basic set up. Nova is great for customization though 😊

[@Bill-p2v]

I fully understand what you mean by this comment. None of the pixels prior to the pixel 9 ran smoothly with Nova launcher. I can 100% back that up. The pixel 9 Pro XL is a different beast. I think the 16 gig of RAM helped out

[@davidmorrison5186]

@@Bill-p2v yeah I stopped using launchers back with OnePlus phones. I have stayed away from them on the pixel 7 going forward

[@braskabani8011]

nova launcher always on day 1

[@KEWZ_365]

Bro the point of a pixel is to not have a launcher fail my guy

[@unonice]

Nope .. I'm not using any launchers .. But everyone is different .. That's the beauty and joy of Android, especially Stock Android Devices , you can customize, use custom launchers , root it , ECT .. Can't do this stuff with Apple products, they are locked down and limited to particular if any customizations 👎🏾

Go back on the video it's literally non stop comments. Good try though.

[@dawn3715]

Well I'd rather my phone look like trash than my brain being trash .

[@fms2754]

Which Nova setting allows you to remove the stock weather widget?

[@TechnicallyTee]

The launcher does. There isn't a widget. When you apply nova, you will have a clean canvas to start out with.

LineX is about $1

You download the icon pack and open up the app and it's right there looking at you, button says apply big and in the middle...bum.

Pixel I think is the worst in terms of being able to customize your phone without 3rd party apps. IOS is more customizable 😂
