Anyone figured this out yet? Razer Nova says 5.4.8 is latest where as Nova beta is in 5.5.x and adds all the oreo features.. I've tried updating through play and razer Nova itself but they both say up to date with 5.4.8 while still showing 5.5.3 as current version.

Try backing up your current Nova backup, then disabling the factory (Razer) installed version.
See if you can download the latest version from Nova's website or XDA Labs or www.apkmirror.com.
EDIT: Thought the factory installed version of Nova could be disabled,my mistake...........

Just tried it out for myself,the apk from Nova's website won't install over the Razer version, says the package is corrupt.

Yeah that's the problem I'm finding as well. I just want the oreo features, I'm a nova Prime user so got used to certain layout on my old 6p. Hope they make this updatable
I was happy to hear they are using Nova as the default launcher....but I also wondered about updates from the play store...or maybe from Nova directly? I would not be happy if we had to wait on Razer to push an update to the Launcher.
think this is a change that's gonna have to be implemented by razor or root access

i have just taken the plunge and moved over to Nova Launcher Prime as its on sale for 50p (UK)

I just noticed its two different app but not sure what id get for the 50p (uk price) over the version i have shipped on the phone.
Its it as simple as backing up my app setting for nova and then deleting the app before downloading and installing prime and retrieving my backup

you can't delete it without root as it's a system app but the name has been changed so it will update properly now from the app store the version on the phone is the premium version pre licensed

Thanks i downloaded the app and for a period of a few seconds i had both apps, i clicked the prime icon and it then said these features are now available in the old one and then deleted the new icon
My phone apps screen says Nova Launcher and Nova Launcher Prime (2 apps) have i bought something i didnt need and had already as the phone is from Razer or has it unlocked additional settings. hope this isnt going to try and run 2 programs or anything odd
Prime always shows an icon after installing an disappear after you open it. The new version from the play store has replaced the stock version.
thanks for letting me know it just looked odd

A lot of whining and it seemed likely as it was an installable app on 4.3 with no porting required.
And it messes with the app drawer bringing it to 4 icons across instead of 5. Arggg. Back to apex

GEL is still exclusive to Nexus 5 and looks like crap on most other phones and tablets (4 icon rows). Everyone else they got a big Google Now update w/ an option to install an APK copied from another phone.
4 Icon rows looks ok on my N4 i think? Or do you mean in the app draw?
I had GEL accidentally running on 4.3. I flashed an AOSP KitKat ROM and that had it, then reverted to 4.3 and it stayed... Until I wiped cache
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
I guess, so far, I'm the only one here liking (or at least, not minding) the new 4 by 5 layout. It seems a little inconsistent at times because some app icons seem a little low-res, but I'm sure app devs will fix that sooner rather than later. Also, the one tiny annoyance I have with the new launcher, is the missing app drawer Play Store icon on the top right. I really got used to that. Oh well, something's gotta give.

Ok, found one glitch. I'm unable to activate Google Now from the lockscreen with a swipe up. Google Now does open in the background, but I have to manually unlock the phone for it to show.
I actually like the 4 columns of the app drawer vs 5 that was on the previous version much less cluttered

I think that's normal behavior - otherwise someone could open Google Now > Search Google > Open a result in Chrome > Use Chrome to browse to a malicious site, all without having to know your unlock pattern.
Unless you're on the normal unsecure swipe ring unlock in which case yeah I'd consider that a glitch :good:

Loving this launcher now! The only thing that bothered me about the old N5 ported version was the 5 column app drawer - looked so squashed and awkward, now it's perfect I only wish the scrolling were faster, I'm so used to Nova's "faster than light" setting, but I'll get used to it. And I think the fact that they've made the grid responsive to different screen sizes would imply that they will be bringing it to the play store eventually.

Ah. I'm not willing to switch to US English for a feature I'll probably never use, but good to know it's possible anyway.
Does anyone know if the new Google search/Google now allows you to "send hangout" rather than just "send message". Since hangouts is now the default messenger in KitKat, it would only make sense... But I already have a feeling I know the answer before asking

I can't get "ok google" to initiate anything. Language is set to US English, voice search works fine if I click the microphone icon then speak, it just won't do anything if I say "ok google".

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

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.

What method did you use to flash gaps and did you apply the Kindle free wallpaper fix? Also, what launcher are you using and did you use kindle free to install it?
Well i rooted it with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545957 , then i installed supersu, and busybox ,but and old version, this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7574130&postcount=229 because i read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545781&page=3 .
Then i installed kindlefree and stuns wallpaper fix.
Back up with safestraps and restore to rom slot with 4000mb of data , and then flash gapps rom to rom slot.
And when i rebooted .i saw that i was able to select the bubbles lwp that came with the launcher. Now i have fresh leaves as lwp
Also i try to install fb and whatsapp and failed. but installing them before flashing the gapps-rom seems to work.

I decided to go ahead and delete my rom slot and start over.
1. Created 4gb data partition sized rom slot
2. flashed a backup of my stock rom
3. flashed thor-gapps rom
4. wiped cache
Now live wallpaper is working in whatever launcher this is, and I can install adw launcher and the lwp continues to work. However, I can't use widgets with adw launcher even if I install it with kindlefree.
Gmail WAS working, then started force closing probably 10-15 minutes after it was installed. Gmail will only reopen if wifi is turned off. As soon as wifi is back on it will force close.
Puffin browser now works regardless of wifi setting.
Zinio magazine app works

Hey so, first of all I'm sorry this is probably the most stupid question but i've searched high and low for hours and cant find a way or an answer..
Has anyone been able to get full Pixel icons on CM 14.1 with the Pixel launcher? I've been using daleski's build (great work btw) with Pixelfy but the phone icon and play store etc are still from MM. I know I can use Nova launcher obviously but then its the tradeoff of losing swipe to google now. I've tried every other CM 14/14.1 build rooted and unrooted but not found any way to change icons beside CM theme engine which CM 14 and 14.1 don't have or using Nova etc.
Again, sorry for the stupid question but thanks in advance for any help

This system is baked in Touchwiz and many other manufacturer released ROM's.
