Unlike the Nexus phones, which Google shipped with "stock" Android&nbsp;(AOSP), the Pixel UI that came with the first generation Pixel phones were slightly modified compared to "stock" Android. Currently, Pixel UI and its home launcher are available on Pixel family devices only. (However, third-party modifications allow non-Pixel smartphones to install the Pixel Launcher with Google Now feed integration).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-rootless-pixel-2-launcher-google-t3688393|work=paphonb – XDA-Developers|title=Rootless Pixel 2 Launcher with Google Now page working|date=October 13, 2017 |access-date=2018-01-16}}</ref>

During the launch of Android 4.x "Ice Cream Sandwich", Google had started to replace some of the stock Android apps with Google apps, including the stock Android music apps with Google Play Music, and Android browser with Google Chrome.
