Installation Instructions:
  • Download the following file.
  • Unrar the file and you’ll have 3 APKs inside – ‘GoogleHome.apk’, ‘PrebuiltGmsCore.apk’ and ‘Velvet.apk’.
  • Next, transfer all the APKs to your phone.
  • Use a file manager to browse to these APKs from your phone and install them in this order – PrebuiltGmsCore.apk, Velvet.apk and GoogleHome.apk. OR You can also simply copy the files to your root in System/app if rooted.
  • Now, simply select the launcher by pressing the ‘Home’ button and you’re all set.

Google now widget is missing from widgets....
But when i switch back to Touchwiz launcher i can see Google Now widget...

Everything works perfect except google now screen...

As i have read we can instantly access google now by swiping the left edge of the screen but it does not happen in this case
