You don’t have to wait for the KitKat update to get the new Google Experience Launcher. Savvy hackers managed to get hold of APKs needed to make your existing device sport the fancy new launcher. The three files needed are:
- PreBuiltGmsCore (Google Play Services 4.0)
- Velvet (Google Search)
- GoogleHome (Google Launcher)
After they are downloaded and installed, you’ll have to do one more thing. Long press the home screen, select Settings -> Voice -> Language and change it to something else (like English – UK). Hit Home and do a Google Search. Now get back to your default language and you’re good to go. It’s a 5-minute task that will make your current phone act like Nexus 5. Well worth the time, I would say…
