Hi all,i try to run modded pixel launcher or nova launcher to replace the stock poco launcher on miui 10 beta. The custom are run fine but the icon are super ugly and old school, it doesn't follow the icon in previous poco launcher.i go into theme app and apply new themes but nothing has change on custom launcher. i believe miui 9.6 will face the same problem too.
anyone can tell how to solve this?

There's no solution for this use third party icons from playstore to replace them. I've seen this problem in every redmi series it looks like miui icons are limited to system launcher only.
Use a miui icon pack in Nova Launcher and enable resizing icons to match material guidelines, you should be fine.
I faced the same issue...I installed "Lawnchair" launcher,..and yeah the icons look ugly as hell..
I installed "Polycon" app..now its better

Go to app drawer
Long press on app
Select edit from the popup menu
Tap in the app icon
Select Polycon
Choose your icon
Hello!
Just before Christmas my Mate 10 Pro received the EMUI 9 update. I enjoy using gestures on my phone,but they don't work with 3rd party launchers.
When I swipe up to go home the recent apps menu appears for a couple of seconds and after that it goes home.
Tried using the stock launcher but is feels so outdated and boring.
Is there a way to make gestures work with 3rd party launchers?
I use Nova Launcher Prime and Gesture Control Pro for as many gesture points I want. I also use Macrodroid to create macros that my gestures can call. All these work on unrooted phones. Of course, device actions that need root cannot be called.
With Nova Launcher, one can even create actions for each icon swipe, and enlarge icons for these old eyes.

I'm doing the same. Both apps works great!
Is there any cc9 launcher apk files for mi a3?
Nova launcher pro, everytime on every phone ? Swipe up gesture to turn screen off, swipe down to show notifications. Widgets can overlap and resize freely. Has app drawer. I am not aware of other launcher with these (and many more) features.

You lose pie/Android 10 recents with Nova though.
For Android 9 I use Hyperion launcher
For Android 10 I use paphonb quickstep port (or lawnchair v2 early Android 10 release which is pretty buggy but usable)

I wasn't even aware that recent menu has changed with Pie. Just tried it and to be honest, I prefer the Nova recent menu. But maybe I'll give a chance to and try some other launcher with system recent menu support.

You will also need quickswitch magisk module to enable the recents view on custom launchers that support it

I have also nova pro. it really has cool features but i m looking for a launcher which without app drawer.
Stock launcher is good enough for me i like it, i use to use pixel launcher in my old phone, i already have pixel launcher in mi a3 so no need for 3rd party launcher

Nova settings -> app drawer -> gestures -> swipe to open/close. You can remove app drawer icon then. It's pretty close to the stock launcher behavior. Or, Nova settings -> home screen -> new apps -> add icons to home screen. Then you don't need to use app drawer at all, all new app icons will be on your home screen after installation (you will need to add existing apps manually though).
Nova since 4ever.
Swipe up for drawer, drawer have one page and everything in folders, double tap to turn off, swipe down for notifications , counter clockwise for settings.

Still like I said above you will lose the Android 9/10 recents view on launchers that don't support it. Nova being one of them
I'm a huge fan of Nova. It's the best launcher for Android ever made. But recently I've switched to Hyperion. It's really awesome. I really like the blur effect a lot. Immersive mode, gestures, screen lock-everything is there. It's the second best launcher imo.
I'll probably switch back to Nova eventually.
Another launcher I really like is Lean launcher. Super lightweight, super snappy launcher with not many customization options. Has Google feed & screen lock with double tap though. Allows you to hide apps & change the icon for individual apps.

Just wondering, what's so good on stock recent apps menu? I use it only to switch between apps. The omnipresent Google search bar irritates me, can it be disabled?

Just how fluid it is being able to open the app drawer from the recents menu by just swiping up on the dock and the way it fits with the gestures of Android 10 now aswel it's just way better in my opinion. But it is completely up to the person and what they prefer themselves. I can't tell you it's the best coz each to their own.
Also thats pixel launcher that has Google search. Aosp quickstep launcher does not have Google search in dock

I see, thanks for the explanation. So you basically like features which I prefer not to be present. Nova launcher with "old" recent menu seems to be the better choice for me. Anyway, going to try Hyperion, it sounds nice I'll give a chance to the quickswitch Magisk module too, maybe it'll grow on me.
Mine is Niagara, best simplistic launcher, best one handed launcher ive ever used.

I suppose you mean recen apps, because recent in general is the same.
+1 for Niagara and Lines icon pack.

Ya and the way you can access the app drawer by simply swiping up on the dock. It just all fits seamlessly with the new gestures
Is there any way we can enable Android 10's gestures on a custom launcher?
I'm using lawnchair right now and I don't want to switch to the default Quickstep launcher.
I tried Action launcher as it supports them but couldn't make it work.
After installing any other launcher system reports the launcher doesn't support the gestures!
Please help me out here!
Thanks.
i think nope.
the apps itself need to update and support the android 10 gestures. im using nova launcher prime and it did not support the gestures.
need to use quicksteo for a while i think.
If you use quickswitch magisk module and lawnchair q pre alpha you will have gesture support. Lawnchair q pre alpha is available from there telegram release channel and quickswitch can be found in the magisk repo
Take a look at Fluid Navigation Gestures.
Is there any way to get Android 10 gestural navigation on miui 12 ? Because of the poco launcher the gestures are missing and the animations are crappy. So if somehow we replace poco launcher with miui launcher, will that work ? Or any other launcher?
Install this in magisk, and you can see the option in gestures.
Dont forget to update to the latest System Launcher. After flashing the module.
