Has anyone tried installing Google Now Launcher? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

I know it works for the S4.
If not i'm going to go with Nova Launcher again and one of these really beautiful icon packs: http://www.kovdev.com/apps/
Also the best live wallpaper around ported from the Z2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50846913&postcount=26
Please try the combination I shared, it's worked great with my HTC One X and now after a few days of trying out TouchWiz I am most surely switching to Google Launcher or my previous set up.
UPDATE WITH WORKING VERSION FOR S5:

I tried to yesterday because I don't like the "magazine" thing and it's not currently compatible with the S5 so I could not install it.

Thanks for trying. Let's keep an eye out!

It wont be available on the play store because the Google Now Launcher only shows up on Nexus and GPE devices on the play store, you will have to DL the apk from another site and side load it.

Are u sure the one you have installed is the one Google makes? I went to the store and downloaded an app that I was certain it was Google Launcher Now. Then I realized it wasn't.

You have to install it outside play store. I have it working on my phone. I still prefer nova though
Just Google and you'll find the apk for the Google experience laucher

Do you get the Play store updates for the Launcher regularly especially because of side loading done on the S5

[APP] New leaked Music Player v3.0.336

Works MUCH better than the previous version. I'm getting no force closes or weird behavior anymore. The UI is also cleaned up quite a bit.
I removed the previous version and pushed it to /system/app/
New link:

Wow, solid upgrade from the previous version. I only miss the ability to delete files. We're never satisfied, are we?
Could you post the apk?
I'm getting a 403 when clicking the link

Same here, can't down load from those links anymore.
OP updated with fresh link.
I also have the camera (which kinda works) and the Gallery/Clock (which don't work at all).
works great! thanks!

Has anyone gotten the music app to sync with their Google account?

Looks great; unable to synch, but I now at least have the repeat/shuffle options I used to have, and the UI has been refreshed nicely.

When you install you get 2 music apps.

Anyone tried uninstalling it yet? I guess it leaves no trace? Just got worried as it said "upgrading this system app" when I was installing it! Want to make sure I can get back to stock if needs be
It just updates the original music app. If you want to get rid of it you can go into manage apps and uninstall the update just like all the other system apps.
Thanks just wanted to check before I try it

4.0.1 is waaaayyy more slicker & smoother. it runs alot faster and dosent seem to be as laggy/buggy as the current market version
I still have major problems with album art getting mixed up easily. I am very meticulous about tagging my collection and it's never wrong over other methods of browsing my collection like media monkey or multiple dlna clients. Only when I copy mp3 to my phone. Hope they fixed that.

Amazon App Store

Hey guys! LOVING this phone!!! Just got one question. Has anyone had trouble getting the amazon App Store to work? I download it and it just goes to a black screen with amazon apps at the top? Anyone else have this?

This version I have confirmed works fine - thanks for the link, I need my swiftkey asap can't take the stock keyboard anymore
If someone could post when Amazon updates the app store so it doesn't nag you to update all the time that would be great. You can't disable it or your amazon installed apps quit working already tried.

I have the same problem. Downloaded mine from the Amazon website. I contacted them and the guy said he will put in a "ticket" for the problem since he was unable to figure it out or fix with all the usual tactics. Says he will get back to me on Tuesday. Until them, I plan to use that link and go download and instal an older version cause I really need my Swiftkey and a few other apps to be on my One ASAP!
I did the same thing. The amazon app keeps prompting for a critical update.. Will it work or have the same bug as the "current" that displayed a blank screen.
I finally found it in the Play Store and it works. Find and dl an app called Amazon Free App Notifier (something like that) sign up and you have to dl the App Store from there. Then you can uninstall the Notifier app.

I submitted a ticket yesterday, and Amazon replied it was a known issue and they were working on a fix. Also, apparently the new 1.29 patch released in Europe solves the problem as well.
I just updated and the new app store is like the one on my Kindle fire hd.

I can't get any of the various versions to work. I have a feeling that, in my case, it's related to the Viper 1.03 ROM I installed today. The Amazon appstore was working fine yesterday.... As of now, it almost seems like I'm only seeing the middle of the app - there's no way for me to get to the settings, e.g. to get to "my apps." Frankly, I wish I had the hard button back for menu. Anyway, I suppose it's worth the tradeoff to have the Viper ROM, but still....

Newest version of Amazon app store working fine for me on viper 1.03.
Did you try wolfpack kernel? It gives logo to menu button mod.

OMG, <facepalm> -- you made me realize that the problem is that I turned on the "press and hold for menu" back button behavior in viper, which then hides the menu icon. Duh! Well, the good news for me is that I hadn't noticed the whole logo2menu hack before, so I installed wolfpack anyway. Thanks!

Anyone tried to use the Google enhanced launcher? From N5?

I have a nexus 5, and love the newer KK launcher. I have my tf701 ordered and shipped but not delivered yet. Just wondering if anybody tried using the launcher?
http://nexus7.wonderhowto.com/how-t...erience-launcher-your-nexus-7-tablet-0149714/
Looks like it works with other tablets and phones too. It adds a Google now screen if you swipe all the way to the left and makes the bottom bar through. I don't it would hurt anything seeing as it is just an APK. Shouldn't need root or anything like that.

I thought it needed KitKat to work?
I think it will work on anything with jelly bean or newer. I'm not a hundred percent sure though. When I get my tablet in I will install it and give it a try.
Here's another thread about it.

I think a lot of it had to do with the Google Play services that were provided now. If you update completely Google now Google Voice, I think the google it. Launcher installed with just one apk.

I'm still on version 0.9.6.886092 because i can't update the google now launcher, probably because the TF701 doesn't has 4.4 yet. But it works fine =)
Edit: I've tried it again and now I'm running the latest version of the Google now launcher.
