I turned my non-Pixel Android into a Pixel clone to unlock these exclusive features
Any phone can reach Pixel perfection
An Android enthusiast modified their non-Pixel device to resemble a Pixel phone and unlock exclusive features. Google's Pixel series offers unique functionalities like Floating Window multitasking and AI-driven text input. This motivated the user to replicate the Pixel interface on their Infinix GT 50 Pro. They achieved a convincing makeover by customizing the home screen and installing a modified version of the Gboard app called PixelBoard.
This unofficial Gboard mod brings AI-powered features like Rambler text input to non-Pixel Android devices without requiring root access. Users can enable Rambler by making PixelBoard the default input method in settings. They also explored alternative launchers, such as Lawnchair, which provides a Pixel Launcher experience with additional customization options.
Lawnchair 15 Beta 3 allows users to customize icons, double-tap to sleep, and access a Google feed. The article emphasizes the importance of sideloading trusted apps and disabling Play Protect for a smoother installation process.
