So here the good news for thoes who are waiting for android 4.4 updates for their phones. It will be an easy couple of months before OEMs begin seeding this to their flagship handsets and God knows how long before it trickles even further down. The good folks over at XDA Developers have already ported the KitKat launcher from Nexus 5 and is now available in an easy to install APK file.
Warning: While there is little to no risk in damaging your phone during this process, proceed at your own risk as we are not responsible for any issues that may occur with your device.
By using this about my opinion you can enjoy the new 4.4 KitKat launcher , So here the toturial
Once downloaded, unzip the file and you’ll have 3 APKs inside – ‘GoogleHome.apk’, ‘PrebuiltGmsCore.apk’ and ‘Velvet.apk’.
Copy all these apk in the root of your phone .
Use a file manager to install these apk files
After successfully installed these apk
Restart your phone (optional)
Now, simply select the launcher by pressing the ‘Home’ button and you’re all set.
In case you’re unable to install this, simply go to Apps and uninstall the updates to ‘Google Play Services’. Now try installing the APK and it should install just fine. After this, you can proceed to install the other APKs. You’ll probably have to enable Google Now after this as it wasn’t enabled by default when we tried it. To do this, simply search for anything in using the search bar on the home screen, then scroll down and go to settings to enable Google Now. If you’re facing any issues or have any queries, feel free to voice them below. You can also go to the XDA thread for answers.
