The launcher in Android 4.4 KitKat has underwent a
major overhaul and introduces an unlimited number of
home screens, new and bigger icons, and more visual
changes. If you want to give it a try, the APK is already
available online and can be installed on devices
running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean or later.
When I recently wrote about the Nexus 5, I mentioned
there wasn’t much to see in the latest Android version
unveiled last week. But as my colleague has pointed
out in his own post, the OS actually has a lot to offer.
That, in part, has to do with the Android 4.4 KitKat
launcher. Simply follow the steps below and see it for
yourself.
1. Enable installation from unknown sources. This
option is usually found in Settings > Security >
Device Administration.
2. Download the APK files (contained in a ZIP file),
extract them on your computer, and move them to
your device.
3. Install the files in this order: (1)
PrebuiltGmsCore.apk, (2) Velvet.apk, (3)
GoogleHome.apk
4. Press the home button and select the launcher.
With the launcher installed, you can now enjoy a
spanking new interface that provides an intuitive
access to your wallpaper, widgets, and settings. That
and there’s more features left to explore.
So that the Android 4.4 KitKat launcher will work
seamlessly on your device, you will also need to install
the latest version of Google Now and Google Play
Services.
