Yesterday, Android 4.4 KitKat was release along with the brand new Nexus 5. Since the HTC Droid DNA will not be getting 4.4 for awhile, here is the brand new Google Experience Launcher!

But it works well on the DNA? No problems?

Yeah no problems here. Download those three apps, push them to SYSTEM/APP, change permissions then reboot. You can have as many launchers installed as you like. I'd suggest leaving Nova. Try the New Google, if you don't like it just go into system/apps and delete the 3apps that you pushed to that folder. No biggie.

Google Now Fix

"Long press the home screen, select Settings. Select Voice. Select Language to change the default. Change to another language, I choose English – UK. Hit Home. Do a Google Search. Repeat the first three steps. Change back to English – US." - Derek Ross

Just follow the above instructions and Google now should work properly.

I love this launcher! Yeah... the icons are a little bit too big, but its seamless integration into Google now has sold me.

I fixed the force close issue but voice search doesn't work whatsoever since I downloaded the apks. Anyone else having this problem? Or know how to fix it?

Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app

I guess I should have pointed out I'm on CM10.2, 10/29. I've had it all day have not had a problem yet. But with the icons being so big it makes it seem that oys cheaper looking. Idk.how to explain.

Maybe if we could get the 4.4 icons it would be different. I'm sure a cyan theme is just around the corner anyway.

    You may have to push this file (http://www.mediafire.com/download/0hb7wj2b18lw7jo/libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.zip) to system/lib in order to fix the voice search issue.
