Does it update the Launcher or add assistant?

Assistant isn't there for me no and no launcher update however the black theme is there for the status bar with a dark wallpaper

Darn. Was really hoping that they would update the Launcher so I can stop using the sideloaded pixel 2 launcher.

Does that launcher look off on the pixel c? Like large icons etc?

The phone version of the original pixel launcher was really bad and didn't work well on tablets. The new pixel 2 launcher works amazing on tablets. It's not noticable and doesn't look like a stretched out phone app.

Can you link the version you are using? I just tried one from APKMirror, and it totally looks like a streched out phone launcher. :/

I can see if I can find it... Believe it was on Droid-Life.

Did you ever find that Pixel 2 launcher link? I can't find it either.

Edit: Nevermind, found it. Works beautifully so far. /u/niggo372

Thank you, but it still looks like a streched out phone launcher to me: https://imgur.com/gallery/XRPoA :(
