MUST READ
First of all I am mentioning the device conditions upon which this guide was worked on. So make sure you have these too for avoiding any unnecessary conflicts.
Unlocked Bootloader for device
MIUI 7.1.12 Global Beta(Android 7.0)
Root Access and preferably SuperSU 2.79SR3
Just the three mentioned above, no mods, no tweaks
Play Store links to all the apps mentioned is present below
MULTI-WINDOWED APPS
Enable Developer options
Tick 'Force activities to be resizable'
Reboot
Install 'Taskbar' from Play Store
Open and allow permission to draw over screen
Goto Recents Tab and allow usage access to Taskbar
Change update rate to '6' and Max. recent apps to '13'
Enable FreeForm Mode and leave rest to default
Now, Clear everything from recents and start multitasking.
You can only open non-MIUI apps in windowed mode. They can be resized and opened in fullscreen.
Note - MIUI Browser works but you need to clear it after every session i.e you cannot minimize and continue your last session. Chrome works fine though
That's it.
GOOGLE ASSISTANT ON VOICE
Install 'Get Assistant' app from Play Store
Open, Grant root access and other permissions
Tap on 'Get Assistant' and select Legacy mode
Once installed, clear Google app cache and search data
Exit and reboot
Say 'OK Google'
Done
EXTRAS
For the Pixel Pill widget use the app of the same name from Play Store.
Get the Pixel themed Play Store and GBoard using Substratum Engine and Pixel UI Theme. Other things don't work as you already know.
So that was all, guys. Hope it successfully works out for you too. Feels amazing to see these things work on MIUI. Lastly, you may add the Pixel Earth Live wallpaper to complete the package.

Sorry, was in a bit of hurry while posting. Thanks for reminding And uploaded... plenty of them
And please avoid quoting the OP, I never miss the replies.
GOOGLE PIXEL C LAUNCHER (7.1.2 Update)
Pixel Launcher 7.1.2
This Is Not My Work, Just Passing It Along For Those Interested
Install At Your Own Risk
Android 7.1.2 beta 2 has started rolling out for Pixel and Nexus devices bringing older devices some new features. The Pixel C was the 1st to receive the beta update. The Pixel Launcher features a brand new multitasking interface that makes multi-window management a bit more natural and altogether better looking. Insiders say this is a peek at upcoming features offered with Android O. You can swipe to the right to reveal the Google Now Feed, and swipe up from anywhere on the home screen to pull up the app drawer. You'll also notice that any icon that is compatible with Google's latest design guidelines will be circular to match the circular folder style, and include long-press actions if the developer supports them.
The Recents menu and Multi-Window Management is different. Tapping the Recents button will reveal a large set of tiles that no longer overlap or scroll. You get up to eight mini previews of the most recently used apps, and can tap on them to jump into that app or tap an X to close it. When you long-press an app, you'll now have the option to drag it to the left or right edge to start the multi-window interface. The rest of the available apps then shrink down over to the opposite side to launch in the other half of the screen to complete the look.
* Download Attached File
* Using A File Explorer With Root Access Move The File To System/Apps. (You could also try System/Priv Apps but I followed Google's guide and installed in Sys/Apps) - And Set Permissions To rw-r--r-- (0644 Octal)
* Reboot And Set The New Pixel Launcher As Default. You Shouldn't Need To Remove Existing Launcher.
*** DOWNLOAD ***
Updated Pixel Launcher Icons (7.1.2) : *** DOWNLOAD ***
*Note: The Pixel C is a tablet. A friend with a Nexus 5 says he adjusted DPI after installation & it works well. I haven't tried it yet so I can't comment on it working on the Hammerhead. I Installed it on a tablet to try it and it works/looks great. Try this app at your own risk.
how would we go about changing the dpi for it

adb shell wm density DPI (replace "DPI" with the number such as 480, 320 or any of your choice) & make back up before messing around. You could use cmd from your computer or terminal on your phone. Restart after applying.

VoLTE WORKS 4pda people tested it
Hmm.. Pretty interesting . Looks like have to test it . will test tomorrow
Looks really nice. as soon as it get downloaded .. wil test it .. thanks bruh?
did a lot of work here. bootanimation was not easy to port. But overall it is beautiful and works great.
I don't recommend to use Live Beach wallpaper because our device can't handle it properly. Maybe needs a better port or it just missing something. Tested that on various devices like samsung galaxy a3 or a5 both 2017 and on a5 it works better faster. Huawei p10 lite not work great.

i think no serious bugs. Only visual things somethere can be addressed like somethere text is black not white. But it needs more people to test it and find these bugs. So for now i'm happy with results
Apart from the dark fonts on dark background, the ROM is very nice and smooth... Magisk works great, Quasar-Atmox audio mod with viperfx is compatible..
Only one thing, I dont know if it is an issue, the battery was fully drained from 80% to 20% in about an hour, when I was restoring my apps and configuring the phone..
I'm charging it now and see how it goes..
I'll report back with battery backup tomorrow...
Boot animation is not right showed.
Tried on HTC desire eye Android 6.0.1

I think hardcoded bootanimation doesn't work on lower than 7.1 or 7.0 version of Android
i will add some attention warning for users lower than 7.0 to don't try this bootanimation to flash.
thanks for information.

writing just to inform you. AFter installation turn off location, BOTH SIM card internet and WIFI + BLUETOOTH SCANNING - they are all culprit of that. Or check what's draining a battery from sys settings

yes firmware is included to support more users that's why i mentioned that on first post.
Just try to flash, if something will not work then i recommend you to update to the latest MIUI 9 global developer version.
Hi,
When taking a screenshot, if you try to edit the image, it defaults to photos app, unlike Pixel which has some mark up tools. Is it a Pixel exclusive, or Essential did not implement it?
Thanks
I'm considering replacing Xperia 1 gen I with pixel 4 xl or perhaps some other pixel line device, but I have some concerns:
can I set the old school buttons layout, back button on the right and task button on the left?
does flashlight on power button shortcut work?
can I set the theme to 100% black, not some dark gray nonsense?
does it support making screenshots by gestures? - making screen shots via notification bar often does not work, crashes the app you wanna shot etc so it usually sucks...
I'm aware US market devices can't be rooted and custom roms can't be installed, but EU or Japanese devices should be safe?
Quite honestly missing any of the listed above features would be an utter deal breaker for me
