Launcher3: Icon and App Notification Issue in POCO F1

[isaumya]

Hi,
Today I received POCO F1 by Xiaomi device and the first thing I did was installing this launcher in the phone. But After installing the latest version I found a couple of issues.

1. When I go to the launcher settings and click on app notification where it takes me to a different page to enable notification access to the launcher. Every time I try to enable it, the Settings app got crashed. I've already reported the debug details to Xiaomi.
2. The icons always show in square more, even if I go in the launcher settings and select circle as the option. Rest thing was working fine. So, I had to uninstall it and use the default phone launcher.

Also, the launcher is no longer in the Google Play Store. Not sure why.

1. Click on the text in the list instead of the toggle and it should work, this is a miui bug
2. This is a miui bug aswell, only square icon shape works there because they broke the standard apis.

@deletescape Thanks for letting me know. Nay idea when miui is going to fix that standard API?

1) MIUI bug
2) MIUI bug, might be able to figure out a workaround later

Launcher was suspended because of the automatic installation of the bridge. I'm currently awaiting a response from Google's support.

@amirzaidi has anyone reported this but to MIUI team?

I've sent them a report when the app crashed. Thanks for info, FINALLY I can use the launcher properly :-)

For the icons I can recommend the "Pixel Icon Pack" - looks quite pretty in combination with a dark theme and the Rootless Pixel Launcher.

@vogtmh Did you able to use round icons and notification dots?

[vogtmh]

Yes, sure. The icon packs provides round icons and have round notification dots as well.

[isaumya]

@vogtmh No, I mean trying to enable the notification dots from the settings didn't your settings app got crashed?

[vogtmh]

Just click on the text instead of the slider and everything should be fine :-)

@vogtmh are you talking about this icon pack: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.themezilla.pixelui ?

[vogtmh]
