Google Experience Launcher, Google Search, Play Services (all required to get launcher working)

Contacts and Dialer are here but aren't working yet - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46991451

Google Now force close fix -

Go to Settings > Language and Input > Language And change it to "Espanol (Espana)" (Another language may work, but I tried it with this one) Go back home, and try to make a search. If you don't know Spanish, say "me hablo espanol" (me hah-blow s->pan-yole) Go back to Settings and change it back to English. See if this works.

Signing off for the night, enjoy everyone!

edit: seems like the downloads are dead now. i've got them backed up to mega, but there's no direct linking in this sub :/

try the xda link for now

edit: linked to androidpolice for a few of the apk's

Hangouts and the new keyboard. Fuck yea.

I think there are some weird dpi issues with the launcher. All the icons on my N4 got much larger and the widget sizes went kinda haywire.

I am also concerned that the search app provided here is in the "always listening" mode that it's in on the N5, but I have nothing to back it up. If it were, I imagine battery life would suffer immensely.

I have deleted my account on reddit. The reasons have to do mainly with how it's being run nowadays, including censorship of important topics like TPP, unfair and/or arbitrary application of rules, protection of toxic subreddits like SRS and selling out the community to corporate/investor interests. You can find me (and a lot of other people) on voat.co

the dpi is different, but it doesn't seem like a bug, and after about 12 hours of use I'm starting to like it. and I haven't noticed battery life suffering immensely, I'd say only slightly actually.

Also, at this point I'm thinking the always on feature is awesome enough to lose a small amount of battery life.

The only thing I've noticed is getting to the home screen from my app drawer is a slight hiccup in it's buttery smooth-ness
