How to change the square icon on Anroid 8.0 Oreo for Nexus devices

Although Nexus devices are the first devices on the list (after Pixel) get an Android Oreo update, but its fun soon dissipates by the fact that some Pixel features are not for Nexus. Many people feel uncomfortable about this but can do nothing other than find a solution to restore those features. One of the most interesting things about Nexus users with this latest update is that they are still stuck in square icons. Because the Pixel launcher application is only for Pixel devices, there is no way to get gorgeous circle icons.

Fortunately, you can install a custom APK file of Pixel launcher to get most of its features like circle icons, notification dots and all other kinds of tools.
