To start off I take no credit for the ROM or Google Now Launcher. I'm simply sharing what I've done to get "OK Google" working on the SHOSTOCK XXUNFA5 ROM .
I'm on AT&T SGH-I337 GS4 with MDL boot loader. I'm rooted with TWRP installed. Like most of us I wanted to try out the SHOSTOCK ROM to see what changes had been made from 4.3. But I also love the Google Now Home launcher for the "OK Google" shortcut to search or voice commands for safer/easier texting and use while driving.
So like I said I installed the great SHOSTOCK XXUANF5 ROM. I used John's aroma theme installer for KitKat TW ROMs to give me the blue / darker look. Along with xposed installer with several different mods within it to customize to my liking. And then copy n pasted the Google Now Home Launcher from my ext SD card to "system/app". Then changed permissions to "rw-r--r--" I did all this with ROM TOOLBOX PRO. From the play market.

You can also find John's aroma TW KitKat themer in the apk's and theme's section here on XDA.
I'm not responsible for what you do to your phone or for any of the apks or ROM or themes/ mods I mentioned above. Just sharing something I haven't seen anyone mention yet and that makes my phone a little more useful to me.
Enjoy. Don't thank me or this post. Thank the themer and the DEV of SHOSTOCK.

OK if you are having issues resizing the wallpaper in the gallery that came with the new ICS leak then I've got a fix for you. I tried changing the code of the gallary3d apk in both ucle2 ics and 2.3.5 gingerbread with no success. So I found a gallary apk file on the net for android stripped the code made some minor tweaks installed and bam I could resize wallpaper again. OK let me give you some info you need to know...
First you will need the apk file from the link below. And you may want to download apex launcher from the market and here is why...
1. Using Apex launcher you have the ability to resize wallper and wallpaper scrolls again as you flip thru home screens. Apex launcher is a free download from the Google play store.
2. With stock touchwiz launcher that came on the phone after you install the apk file below you will have the ability to resize wallpaper only the scrolling wallpaper as you flip thru home screens still does not work in touchwiz and since I don't use touchwiz I'm not gonna try to make it cause touchwiz sucks anyway.
3. With go launcher, tw launcher, MX home and other launchers on the play store I have no idea. Untested on launchers other than those listed above. So try if you want and report if it works on other launchers if you want.
I have tested this on my skyrocket and it is working. Also tested it on my wife's Samsung INFUSE 4G running gingerbread and it fixed her wallpaper resizing issue to. Also fixes wallpaper scroll on the Infuse using touchwiz and go launchers but that was on the Infuse only. WALLPAPER SCROLL DOES NOT WORK USING TOUCHWIZ ON THE SKYROCKET WALLPAPER RESIZE ONLY UNLESS YOU USE APEX LAUNCHER. Just wanted to say that again so I don't get 1000 messages saying my wallpaper still won't scroll using stock launcher.
Now one more thing if you install the apk below like normal just open and install and you still have a problem resizing wallpaper then try this... you must be rooted and have an app installed that lets you get to the root folders. I use rom tool box lite free from Google play but you can use whatever root file explorer you choose. Open up root explorer find the apk you downloaded below and copy it. Then navigate to the system/app folder and paste it there. Use rom manager also free from Google play to fix permissions reboot and it should work. But try the regular install method first. As I said this is working for me on both the new ics leak on my skyrocket and on gingerbread on the Samsung infuse...
Thanks to xcraxydx for providing a couple of apks that I needed....
Download APK here.....

I'm using Apex Launcher, not rooted, and ran this apk and wallpaper is still not sizable. Is this for rooted users only?
Edit: Just saw in the last paragraph must be rooted. Play on players.

Hi, while searching apps on google play store I found this miui home for gingerbread roms..So i am sharing the link of google play. It is free.
Google Play Link:-https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.miui.mihome2&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5taXVpLm1paG9tZTIiXQ..
I have made transparent status bar for miui home. One is stock system-ui.apk and other system-ui.apk is having 14 toggle mod. Rename it as SystemUI.apk and move to /system/app with permission rw-r--r--.
This transparent statusbar also work with go launcher and holo launcher. U can check for other launcher by your own.
There was a thread related to MiHome started by TheFrankenstain but it was related to ics only so i am posting for GB.
a newbie question,
I must be rooted .. right?
&
do I need to deodex or wtever it is called my phone 1st?
or just set permission & replace the SystemUI.apk ..
yeah, i know .. newbie~
u must be rooted and deodexed,too.
by the way the last screenshot must be from an ics device, due to launcher.

Just have to download the zip and with root explorer or a file manager you can go in and just install each apk file you want, might have to push manually and fix permissions then reboot.

I do have a one click root solution now (Kingo) so I imagine there will be some Dev's who will start popping up. I would love to bring it to our phone but I would have no idea where to even begin and I know little to nothing about dev'ing.
let me know if you guys can use this installer, if not you can download it and use a file explorer and extract the files and push them manually to the correct folders.

updated and add couple apps
Updated with new apps and also some S5 Apps
For all those Touchwiz fans out there, here I present the Samsung Galaxy S5 launcher, ported from a clone HDC S5 ROM made by Sixis Developer Team . I have only tested it on my Stock ROM, and it works without problems. I will also provide some other apps which I ported from the S5 ROM.
No need to flash anything. Only Root access is required in order to install the S5 Launcher.
How to install:
1. Download the SecLauncher2.apk from this link: https://db.tt/ULAxtzvM
2. Copy the SecLauncher2.apk to the /system/app folder using Root Explorer or any other file manager that supports root access
(If you are doing this on any Samsung device, you will probably be asked to confirm the file replacement. In that case, I would suggest you to backup the old SecLauncher2.apk with Titanium backup)
3. Change permissions to rw-r-r
4. Reboot phone.
Note: After reboot, you will probably be asked to select the Default launcher. Select Touchwiz Home and choose one of the two options. And there you go, your S5 Launcher is ready to go.
I have tested this Launcher on my MTK6589 device running on JB 4.2.2. It should work on any device. Please report any problem after installing the Launcher.

I'm very sorry to hear that. I guess its not working on Android M. Did you push it to the right directory? I think Android 6.0 does not use the same directory for launchers as the Jelly Bean. You can also try this launcher ported by dgrules. It worked for me, together with the widget, but I removed it cause you cannot apply static wallpaper, only scrollable:

It is because I themed my phone to look like S5 Kitkat. You can see that statsubar is different and all the icons are white, just like on Kitkat. If you want to theme the Statusbar, just install the xposed module called HK Theme manager, and download the S5 theme for Cyanogen mod. I can provide the link if you dont manage to google it.

I followed the steps exactly as described. Will try that one later. Thanks
You are welcome. One more advice: with root explorer open /system folder and look for a folder named priv-apps. I think that's where Android 6.0 stores the launcher. S5 launcher has to be placed in the same folder with your stock launcher.
I have a cubot x17 mt6735. I want to install it but it doesnt start i put it in priv apps and apps where the stock browser launcher3 was. Both not starting. What can i do.
