So if i have the one from last week that was force closing and i already updated today from Google Play, am i updated to the version that doesn't force close? Or should i uninstall the 4 apks from the last week and just install from Google Play?
pretty useless if we have a launcher other than kitkat

Yea I found that out with my nexus 10 with Nova launcher and stock 4.3 launcher . I was hoping it will allow the open search voice prompt as the google bar is on both launchers . Sucks .

Yeah, I've been using Open Mic +. It's pretty good and no need to use a different launcher. You can also customize it instead of saying "Ok Google." I just changed my activation word to "Google" and it automatically opens up Google Search and listens to what you want to say. Pretty convenient. You can turn it off and on. Just google it. I believe it's also in the play store.

Very minimal if any drain. I'm actually using the 2.4 version. 3.5 is the latest, and I'm not sure how good that one is, but I've had no issues with mine. Also, people complaining about slow start up time isn't true. The 3-5 seconds it takes is only when you first start the app. After that, every time you say your hotword, it opens up quite fast and ready to listen. That's for 2.4 at least. I'm sure 3.5 has to be better.

Apps from latest google android version 4.4.
Includes camera, google now, launcher, hangout
and many more
MOD Edit: Links removed
pls click thanks button :good:
Just tried all these, the launcher, Google now, and Hangouts work.
Touchless control still works with the new version of Now.
Hangouts seems a little slow to send SMS, but that might be my specific conversation list, as they are all huge amounts of messages. Emoji are present in Hangouts and send fine.
Launcher runs incredibly smooth and flawlessly.
I don't see a difference between the stock gallery app on my moto x and the new one. Camera works, but the buttons are stretched off the screen and selecting photosphere crashes the app.
OK, now use Google now. Force close.

Change to a different language, do a search, then change back
Ok this fixed the issue
Google Search Force Close 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

Try to add another widget or icon, when you do move it to the right edge of the screen, another page will then appear.

MMS Works fine, however take note if youre connected to WIFI, and someone sends you a mms, oryou try to send a mms to someone in hangsouts they will fail UNTIL you disconnect from wifi

Probably not, it was designed specifically for the Nexus 5 so something like that makes sense to be off. Why would you want to replace your Moto X camera with the N5 one anyway? you would lose specific Moto X features.

-- Deskclock will not install

To get Google Home working
To install the new launcher (Google Home), you’ll have to install 3 different apps – Google Play Services 4.0, Google Search, and the Google Home .apk. (Cheers to Phandroid for figuring that out.)

So in the latest update, you will get "ok google" while in the google search app.
With this launcher, it gets even better, you install it, and you can use "ok google" right from the home screen.
To make it work, just install the latest google search from play store, then download and install this apk:

awesome, thanks!
Thanks for this! Came from the GNex and missed this launcher from the Kit Kat ROMs. Loved being able to voice activate Google Now from the home screen and swiping to access Google Now. Only thing that doesn't work it with this launcher is Knock Knock to turn the screen off (Knock On works). I created a workaround with Tasker where if I shake the phone left or right, it turns off the screen. Almost like having Kit Kat
very good, thank you
There are some apps that will give you the knock off feel if you want it.

I found a pretty good workaround for that. If you have G2 exposed installed (requires exposed framework, needs root) you can map the 'long press' for any button to lock screen. Just holding whichever button is easiest to reach to lock works nicely. I wish the google experience launcher would support gestures, as we can always download the free 'screen off and lock' app and map a gesture to that too like I do in Nova launcher.
Both this KK Home launcher and Nova can utilize the "Knock Off" feature by simply double-tapping a blank area on the notification bar. This is the default behavior and no setup is required to invoke.
Thanks for making this available, OP!

Thanks! Did not know that. I can use that with the phone laying down. Unfortunately, my hands aren't big enough to reach the notification bar during one handed operation, so the Tasker workaround works better for me in that situation.

I haven't rooted yet. Maybe I'll try it if I do, but haven't really had the urge to do so. Came from a GNex where I crack flashed constantly, but ended up using a stock ROM when I discovered Tasker.

Anyone else getting a high mediaserver wakelock with this launcher? I'm assuming it's because of the always listening Google Now on the homescreens. Mediaserver was using at least 15% of the battery on this launcher. Switched to Nova and mediaserver is down to 1%.

Don't think it's gonna happen.
KK Launcher is the only launcher I have seen to incorporate Google Now in any way. It launches Google Now when you scroll all the way to the left, but that's it.

As long as you keep the stock setting of swiping up on the home key to access Google Now, you're really only talking about a second or two to access the "Ok Google" feature.
Additionally, if you'd like to have the mic aware and listening constantly, I'd suggest the XDA link below. This way, you can have that feature available regardless of which launcher you're running.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2404613
From what I read, it's only the stock launcher that can have the active listening.
Only reason I read about this was because I googled why it stopped once I installed Nova Launcher.

It doesn't get rid of the ring but you can set to launch nothing.
