Alright, so since I had an HTC One M8 lying around after upgrading to this bad boy I decided to go ahead and change the RUU on the M8 to the GPE edition and load the new Lollipop 5.0.1 and fell in love with the new launcher. The animations are beautiful along with the design changes, so here it is. I have went through and tested everything on here to make sure it looks and acts just like it does on the GPE edition. Of course you won't have Google Now to the far left (which also got a nice little UI overhaul in lollipop) but, that's what the long press on the home button is for. For best settings you will need the prime, but this will still look pretty dead on without it. Steps are simple:
-Download the file below
-Using root explorer, (or whatever file browser you prefer) place the file in /storage/data/com.teslacoilsw.launcher/backup
-Open Nova
-Long press open spot -> settings -> backup and import -> restore or manage backups -> lollipop replica -> yes
-Enjoy having Lollipop home screen
Comment with any questions you may have!

The Google now launcher does not have the animations, the correct grid sizes in the app drawer, or the same looks as this does. But, if you want a 3x4 grid that looks like the DPI is extremely too high, be my guest.
No need to get ugly. I didn't realize that the GNL didn't meet your needs. It doesn't look near as good on this phone as Nova, but it does have the great google now integration.

Nova is awesome. I just switched from Apex Pro, and I'm so glad I spent the $4 to get Nova. So much smoother and faster animations. I've got the Google now widget on one of my home screens. Not as seamless as the GNL, but it gets the job done.

Is there a specific reason why I can't see ADW Launcher in the Market?

Should be able to, I have it installed from the market.

The search engine for the market is not that great. Try reformatting the way you type ADW launcher, or just search launcher and look through the list. At one time I think it was "ADW.Launcher" but I am not positive.
Its there if you just type adw in the search but there's so many friggen themes for it that its kinda hidden next to the bottom of the list. Great launcher...

Fix the way the launcher is set up in the market search. It needs a new tag to differentiate it from themes. Whatever, I was just trying to help you help yourself.

This should work. It's actually named "ADW.Launcher" in market.
I have found it, installed it, but selected the default launcher, and now i cant get back to ADW no matter what i try. I have uninstalled and installed, and when i go to "manage applications", the only option it gives me is to uninstall. All the other options are greyed out. Any suggestions?

Thanks. Anderwebs told me the same thing.
market>apps>productivity>top free>scroll down a bit and it's there, searching causes more of a headache when looking for this app, although as much as i love adw my G2 lagged a lot when i was using it so i went back to stock launcher2
so yes this sounds like a familiar story for me, i was bored so i decided to make a galaxy S theme,
its 10/30 fresh froyo with a galaxy S theme from the hero forum, and somebody over in the wildfire forum was nice enough to resize touchwiz 3 for 240x320. since its build off fresh froyo everything that works usually works here. and it looks cool, only thing i was unable to get to work was the boot animation.
ALSO THIS IS ALL LANGUAGES (but Not Odex'd)
i might at some point make an english and spanish version of this an odex it but we will see how it goes

When moving icons and folder on a screen you cant just put them anywhere you want its locked to a grid so is there a way to be able to put folders and icons anywhere you want on the screen?

If you want your folder/app stick to the point where u left your finger and not in the 4*4 grid - so you want it to stick at the exact position - well you can't. Don't know even why would you like to do that? You could mess with your shortcuts easily
Hope fully this will give everyone a better idea of what I am on about.
This first image shows the amount of space available on the screen

It would be nice to have total control but unfortunately we don't. I used to have launchers plus on my desire and it is probably the kind of thing you are looking for. Instead of a 4x4 grid you can change it to many others. For instance a 5x6 which would nearly double the amount of icons you could have on screen. You could also resize widgets which was handy. And if I remember correctly you could even have more quick launch icons at the bottom. Very nice app.

It's a pretty decent launcher even though on touchwiz most widgets don't work.
Plus been in communication with the Dev since he first posted videos of his launcher, he said there would be public beta but just posted this paid beta.
He already said he would be looking into the widgets issue.
Let's see.

The bad thing about this launcher is the long list to scroll down if you have lots of apps.

Not really. Just click on the begiining letter of the app you want and it takes you there. The app is too minimal in features is my problem.
If the action bar and covers were added to something such as nova it would be the perfect launcher. IMO
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
I'm pretty well pleased with the Action launcher. Smooth and all the widgets I've installed worked well with no discrepencies at all. I think it is worth a try. I hope he follows with updates.
I really like the concept but features need to be added to make it a competitor.
It REALLY needs to expand the edges. If it would fix that I could see myself using it all the time. But as I use things like android pro widgets and wizz widgets, it just ruins it:
All that wasted space
However, I assume as he updates it more options will appear .

Hello,
Has anyone tried the Android 4.4 KitKat Launcher released for Nexus 5 on their Note 8.0?
"To install the new launcher (Google Home), you’ll have to install 3 different apps – Google Play Services 4.0, Google Search, and the Google Home .apk. "
If so, is it working ok? how's the performance with the new launcher?
Thanks for your help :good:
I'm currently using the launcher as my daily driver, and aside from a couple bugs (app drawer seems crowded, and the keyboard pops up randomly upon returning to home), it runs rather well. I'm enjoying this psuedo-Kitkat UI!

Wrong section..sorry..
The launcher runs fine. and looks ok,
I have gotten too used to touchwiz to like anything else,
however, this can also be used as an app i.e hitting back button does not close it.In that way it provides most of its functionality on demand and serves good for hands-free operation when needed, though s-voice did that kinda similar too.
App Drawer does not have any menus or settings so nothing much to write home about there, other than it's obviously different.
I have it set up minimally for reading stuff only (news and books) and here are screen shots.
