EDIT: Google Now Launcher is official on Google Play! Unfortunately, you need GPE Moto G to get it. Otherwise you can simply download the .APK, it will still work on standard Moto G. According to XDA you need 4.4.2 to actually get it to work though, but maybe it does work on 4.3? I'm not sure. Here it is!

Hi everybody! This is the Google Experience Launcher from nexus devices and i found an APK that works with our Moto G.
I posted this because i read around the 4.4 ota threads and some people didn't like the regular stock launcher and they wanted the google experience launcher instead.
Well, here it is! :good:
Works on KitKat AND Jellybean! Though i'd use it on KitKat so the experience feels better :good:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...once-you-get-your-kitkat-update-apk-download/
Here is the link! All you need to do is to download it and then just install the APK! Works perfectly on the Moto G.
Also saying "Ok Google" works perfectly.
All credit goes to android police for the APK and Google for the launcher. :good:
An addendum to your post: It will also work on Android 4.3. I used it on my HTC One with CM 10.2 and CM 11 and my Moto G with stock 4.3 and 4.4 and it works perfectly on both versions.

Thanks for uploading this! Interestingly, and sadly, I noticed the dialer doesn't include the KitKat "busines search" feature. This is something I would have used a lot, so I'm sad to see it not included. It's evidently a problem on the MotoX as well, so Motorola must be leaving the feature out of its KitKat builds for whatever reason.
GEL is great, I like how I get to choose how many home screens & choosing widgets/wallpaper the old school way. One thing I do miss is having the perm shortcut to the Google play store visible in the appdrawer

One thing however, how do you switch back to the original launcher if you want to. Short of uninstalling GEL

You have to go into settings>applications then find one of your home screen replacements, scroll down and "clear defaults"

If anyone is interested, the touchless control "hotword" feature does work. I can say "ok google" on home and speak a command. Under Google Settings > Voice, Language must be set as English (US) - English (UK) does not work. The 'Hotword detection' option should be available there.
I habe the problem that the icons are not really sharp when I use the Google experience launcher.
Has anyone the same problem or a solution?

From my understanding that's because it was made for nexus 5 with a bigger screen and better pixel density. Since our screens are smaller, it makes the icons larger and not as sharp.

Anyway to keep the GEL and get the icons smaller and sharper? Kinda ruins it for me .. Although the main reason I wanted this was for the improved dialer.

Confirmed working on Moto G running GEL. As mentioned in the video, only certain themes are compatible. Stark works fine and free theme Black.
There is an article on Forbes.com suggesting GEL will be officially available for all devices at some point in the future:
While the hack to apply GEL to your device is simple, the fact Google keeps updating it to work increasingly smoothly on an ever wider variety of devices indicates it will soon become an official option for all Android handset owners.
Should this happen it will be a key moment for the future of Android. It gives users who want the stock Android experience the option to have it without being forced to buy a Nexus or ‘Google Play Edition’ device yet it should not alienate manufacturers who can still sell their devices with their own skins as differentiators. In fact GEL may even see manufacturers up their game as many third party skins for Android are poorly coded and slow down the user experience. With an option to dump them for a stock Android experience at any moment this tardiness is unlikely to continue for long.

You can't download/install it from Google Play because you don't have a compatible device. It doesn't work on the 10. You'll have to wait for someone to make a modified version, if that's even possible

I downloaded it from dropbox. But couldn't install. The App is available on apkmirror as HTC Smart display 1.00.1003716. I'm not able add the link. Otherwise I would have added the link to the apk file.
I tried installing it. It installs but doesn't appear in the app drawer. Can somebody port the app to HTC U11?

If you're running a U11 this is the wrong section of the forum.
But to answer you question, there's no need to port it to the U11. If on Oreo you can install it from PlayStore. But you won't be able to change any settings, as the submenu in settings will be missing. Further more you'll only have wake up when lifting it up, but no AOD. AOD is implemented kernel-wise into the panel driver and AOD won't work properly with the U11s panel, as it's panel driver doesn't support AOD.

Has anybody figured out a way to change the icons in the Pixel Launcher? I found I can use Awesome Icons to swap them out but it won't let me change the icons in the dock.
I have nothing against Nova Launcher but would prefer to use the stock Launcher.

That's called the dock. I don't quite know what your looking to do though. You said you can use Awesome Icons to swap them out, but can't change them?? You'd likely need an app to allow icon changes. I use Nova launcher to allow various icon packs to be used, but not sure if that's what you want.
