My Google Now was always on the left screen. Home in the middle and another on the right. Now I have a Google search on my home screen. Don't need it there.

You don't need it if you don't want it. Just drag it to remove it
Oops, my bad. I just tired to do that and can't

Maybe you were on launcher3 (aosp), and not GEL? were you on a custom ROM?

It would have been either a rom feature or a different launcher. You can't remove the persistent search bar in the GEL launcher.

Why dont you just take one of the many Android launchers and skin it to look like a Nexus launcher? Then it looks exactly how you want it, and its completely stable...

Nice home app! Very smooth. No lags.
It works very well except when I press the top button to see the menu to shut down, the phone freezes and after a while it reboots, not on the initial "Sony Ericsson" screen but in the next animated screen. So, to shut down the phone I need to take the battery out. I don't know if it happens only with my X10...
Other nice feature to consider: Samsung Widgets.

If I install this GEL apk and end up not liking it, it is just a simple matter of uninstalling it or do I have to install the original launcher back?

Just clear defaults. Just like any other launcher. So you'll be good. If you have kitkat, you can do it from here (within settings>home):

I just installed it and did not realize how large all the icons are now. is there a way around this? otherwise I may have to go back to the original kitkat launcher?
what other differences are there?
I do like the google now swipe right though.

The icons come with the launcher. Solution for smaller ones is to use a different launcher.

Grab an icon and drag it to the right, off the edge of the screen. The GE launcher will create a new home screen for you to drop it on. Drag back to the left and it will remove the unused home screen.
After weeks use of this launcher, there is only one annoyance. The launcher keeps adding a page for reasons I'm not sure of and the page indicator is a plus sign instead of a dot. Can't figure out why it keeps doing that. I have to fix it by adding an icon on the screen and taking it out to have it disappear. See Screenshot.

Happens to me on occasion. I actually think it's by design. It's not always there on mine, it's almost like a hint or tip. It's not always there.
That's the best I got...

have you installed new app? it seems to happen from what I've noticed on new app install on the stock launcher also.
if you select the stock launcher and get rid of the app off the home screen it seems to go away
Re up
Can somebody re up? It appears the link in the op goes to an empty folder. Thanks in advance.

Flashable Icon pack Nexus 5

Hi i see many screenshoot that displays different icon to stock icon and i read that all of them use launchers... if i don't want to use launchers is there the possibility to flash icon pack into recovery?:good:

Nope. You need a launcher that supports icon packs.
Xposed has a module that lets you use icon packs with the stock launcher.
Hi,
Yes, as abaaaabbbb63 said the best and easier way is tu use an alternative launcher (Nova, Apex, etc...).
Or another method is to replace manually the icons by yourself..., take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49542935#post49542935. But if you are not confident with these kinds of modifications, I will not recommend it...

Well Apex and Nova are really similar, but I use Apex. I really can't find any differences between them other than animations and other small things like that. Try them. They won't hurt our phone...if anything the animations are sped up so it will seem faster.
