Hello all,
Maybe you don't like the original MIUI launcher and want to use a different(better) one? Than the Google Pixel Launcher is one the better ones you can use. But Google only tries to be installed on there own hardware/software or smartphones from Android 7 or more!!
(If you install it normaly or throughout the ''Playstore'' it will not be installed or a lot of features won't work. So there is a easy way to fix this problem.)
I have used this methods of a member(SuperKneus) on a nother forum and all the credits go to him for this easy solution, and used this now on more smartphones and it works like a charm!
---------- TUTORIAL ----------
Here is a quik tutorial how to install Google Pixel Launcher and having most of features working.
Requested:
1. Download the .apk file of the Google Pixel Launcher, see link below!

4. Reboot your smartphone!
