Google Launcher For Android 4.4 (KitKat) on Note 3

I have just installed Google Launcher of Android 4.4 (KitKat) on Galaxy Note 3. It really works great and I like the Google Now integration.
Only thing is that on 5.7 inch screen, icons look little big...here is the initial impression:

How is the kit kat camera apk? Does it work on the note 3

Sorry but what's the point in this if you kill the pen totally in system? Or all the pen functions work?

All pen functions still work with the 4.4 Google Experience Launcher.

Well if you want everything to look better and you're rooted, install xposed and the app settings module and change the Google search app dpi to 420(that's the one I found to work the nicest with space) and the font scale to 120 and voila

Is this an app from play store? How did you get it? And root needed?
Thanks

No root needed. You're just downloading two apks. It's very simple. You get the upgraded search and the new Google Experience Launcher which is fun to play with. As indicated above you do lose the nice transparent status bar.

Thanks for post. FWIW i was able to pull the frameworkres.apk from that rom and everything with that works and compliments Raiderman's themed apk's. Haven't had much luck with any of the other apk's as of yet (guessing there are a lot of sprint specific files that won't work with att- phone, contacts, and email all don't work- along with settings and system ui) I will try a few others and report back if they work. Thanks again - really needed a blue framework!!!

i'm on mj5. just used a root explorer, changed permissions and pushed to system/framework folder and rebooted. I'm not sure if this caused issues with some of my xposed modules so i'm gonna start fresh and try to troubleshoot. I'll let you know if i find out anything (namely the wanam's xposed module's advance reboot menu when pushing recovery causes massive force closes!!)

I can't activate Art

Hi.
My N5, 10 days old, is rooted and with bootloader. I'm using NOVA launcher.
I activated developer mode.
If I try to change to Art I have to confirm a message of library change and reboot. So I do it, N5 reboot, I go back to developers adjust and I see that I continue on Dalvik. I tryed it sometimes but never starts with Art.
Any solution? What happens with my Nexus?
Thanks

Using Xposed Framework?, either stick with dalvik or uninstall Xposed as they don`t play well

Have you ever downloaded Xposed? And didn't uninstall it the correct way? Maybe you still have the framework installed without uninstalling it, and just deleted the app...

i guess all those people using art while rooted are just clueless then

My bad, I thought art wasn't compatible with root!!! So having xposed framework without having any modules won't let ART switch on? How weird!

yea, xposed breaks art. it used to just not boot, but they now made it so it doesnt switch to art. all root does is give you permission to mess with system files or use root apps.

Hi,
Go into Xposed Framework, Framework-> Uninstall (it will restore the original file "app_process") then reboot.
If it's not enough uninstall Xposed Framework and modules from Settings/Apps.

[MOD] 4x5 TouchWiz Launcher

This will make the launcher home screen 4 (wide) x 5 (high)
It will also make the app drawer 4 (wide) x 6 (high)
Only tested on Verizon GS5 (SM-G900V)
Flash using safestrap.
I'm new to modding so let me know if there's anything that needs to be changed or doesn't work right.
ENJOY!
Don't be shy with that Thanks button!
EDIT: Forgot to mention, make sure busybox is installed before flashing. It uses it to mount /system during the flash process.

I'm going to guess no but I'm not sure. The stock recovery probably requires a certain signature.

I was thinking about doing it if someone asked but after seeing how tedious the process is I'm not so sure.

I'm very used to "home" being in the middle, and not at the left end, of the home screens, so I'd really like to try this. But in the event I decided I didn't like it, how would I go back to the stock settings? Is there an "un-install" for this?
Edit - I just realized, having made a nandroid of the stock ROM with Safestrap, I could just restore that to get back to the factory setup on the home screens if I wanted to, right?

Well first of all this has nothing to do with where the home screen is, it just changes the grid size.
As for restoring, just make a backup of /system/priv-app/TouchWizHome.apk and if you want to go back just restore that file through safestrap.

This is just awesome, I was wondering if it is possible to make the icons a little bit bigger, and also wondering if we could have the Google search bar in every screen, like the Google launcher.
Thanks for the nice mod! !!

Thanks for clarifying that, but I immediately saw the first point above for myself. I made the mistake of assuming your modification would bring about every aspect of the picture you showed (in which your main homescreen is centered). Since that was the main reason I was looking at this modification, I decided to switch to Nova Launcher to get that feature. But thanks for the mod, and for answering my questions.

anybody know if this would work and is even needed on Alliance rom ?
If not needed.. how would I enable in Alliance ?

[MOD] [WIP] DBooster for Sprint Note 4 (Beta 4.1 - 1/31)

DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for you and decisions thereafter, and so on (you all know this), I'm not responsible, etc. This is BETA testing for the DBooster for Sprint Note 4 (may or may not work right yet). ALWAYS MAKE BACKUP before anything.
POWER TO THE USER, UNLEASH THE PHONE FROM CARRIER BONDS
Hello all, thread is and will be the DBooster for Sprint variant once up and running, so I'm making a thread once out of beta and ready for flashing. I will allow any and all to beta test (in a non-flashable file, ONLY EXPERIENCED SHOULD ATTEMPT... for now) I will continue to develop for this as I receive feedback from testers and (hopefully) have this finished within few days.​
Directions for Quicktile DBooster:
1. Open up SQLite Editor
2. Select the Apps tab -> scroll down to Settings Storage and select
3. Click settings.db
4. Click system
5. Click search icon on top right (easiest method to filter) or scroll through db (harder way)
6. Type "notification" in the Filter Value field and press ok
7. Tap "notification_panel_active_app_list" -> select pencil icon on top to edit
8. In Value field, all enabled toggles are listed. Now, add the word "NetworkBooster" (no spaces or quotation marks) to end of list (make sure to have NO SPACES between entries and semicolons separating each entry)
----> ex. Wifi;MobileData;WifiHotspot;Sound; ....
9. Once you add "NetworkBooster", click save button.
10. Close SQLite editor and reboot/profit
Changelog:

Don't quote me exact on this since I don't have phone (was asked to do this). I believe you paste jar in system/ by itself (not final location but will save from possible random reboot, important step). Navigate to system/framework folder, .bak file the sprint services.jar/odex (if there). Then go cut/paste Mod services from /system/ to framework/ folder (DO NOT DELETE sprint services in case obviously). Add quicktile for easier access to turn on (in OP). Reboot and see.

Ok its there how do i add a tile

Some ROMs may have it, I'm not sure. I'm posting for sprint stock Rom and variants of it if not included basically since I was asked by a member with note 4 for this favor. I'll continue working on it to make it better if users report issues.

I noticed i already have NetworkBooster in the app panel active but this is as far as it gets. Nothing happens when i try a large file.
