In this post, I'll show you how easily get Android P features on any Android device running Oreo, Nougat, Marshmallow and Lollipop OS.
About Android P
The first developer preview of Android P has just launched and it brings a ton of new features . Android 9.0 has bought a bag of goodies with it, and everyone seems to be excited about it. We discovered a lot of changes in the system after running the preview for about a day. The UI has seen a significant makeover in case of notifications, quick settings, volume slider, and settings. Other features include the new Pixel launcher with shaded-dock, inbuilt screenshot editing software known as ‘Markup’, new animations, and left-aligned clock on the status bar. We are merely scratching the surface right now, you’d probably find a lot more when you actually start using it.That’s why it’s sad to know that most of the Android devices existing in the world right now will never get the Android P update. That said, the customize ability of Android as an operating system allows us to bring most of the Android P features to older devices.
Get Android P Style Look on Any Android Device
1. Install Android P Launcher
First things first, download and install the Android P launcher. Another Android P feature that users seem to be excited about is the new launcher for the Google Pixel devices. While there isn’t any major change, the launcher interface has been tweaked a little. Now the virtual hovering arrow is gone, the page indicator lives inside the dock and the dock has gotten a new translucent overlay. Also, the Google search kafe has now gotten a new microphone icon. If you want all these features, all you need to do is download the Pixel Launcher and install it on your device. Do remember, that you will need to uninstall any previous Pixel launcher mod if it’s present on your device.

The new Android version comes with a major overhaul of the notifications bar, quick settings, and device settings.

4. Get Volume Slider like Android P
One of the changes that Google made with Android P is the volume slider. Previously, a horizontal slider that dropped down from the top of the screen, the new solution is a vertical slider that appears at the edge just like they did to the Power hidangan in Android 8.1 Oreo.
