I'm using nova as well. What bugs me is that, if you don't use the stock launcher, you lose the transparency on the status bar and navbar.

In nova there is an built in option to do that.

Indeed this option is working for Z as you mentioned but it doesn't work in Z1 and ZU.

Heres a screen shot of my xperia z1 came Tuesday just gone, I prefer bold and clean look

I normally spend a lot of time on my lockscreen and always use Nova Prime, but this time I decided to dedicate my lockscreen to my 2 day yr old son
After receiving both my Z1 and my son on the same day it seemed natural.

Nova Launcher on Android 4.4 KitKat?

Hello Geeks!
I'm sure a lot of you have Nova Launcher on your N4s, and if you're like me; you can't wait to get your hands on 4.4 KitKat.
Does anybody out there know if TeslaCoil will have to release a newer version of Nova optimized for 4.4 or will it already be compatible as soon as 4.4 gets rolled out to our devices? I'd rather wait for it to be optimized rather than get 4.4 and be Nova-less for a week or 2.
In addition: my friend Tony just ordered the Nexus 5. will Nova Launcher be compatible with his device right out of the box?
Anybody with info please lemme know. I'm fine with putting 4.4 off for a few weeks until I know FOR SURE that I can have Nova Launcher on top of the new tasty OS.

I don't know the answer however, one thing that sucks for Nova Launcher is that the Google Experience launcher is not open source. That means Nova can't keep that stock launcher look on 4.4.

Nova is based on the AOSP launcher so I don't think that will be helpful. There is still a AOSP launcher in the KitKat code but I don't know if they are maintaining it anymore.

Uhhh because the stock launcher is extremely uncustomizable? Nova can be very simple and look almost exactly like a stock launcher, but the amount of options it has are immense. I'm currently using the Google experience launcher and I really miss nova. Sticking with it for now though.

More customization than stock launcher like the static google search in <4.3, # of rows/columns, icon packs, etc.
Nova is based off AOSP Launcher anyways. So you're practically getting the stock launcher + added goodies. Of course this will be different with 4.4 in terms of the Google Now but I'm sure Nova will implement that someway.

Plus you can add gestures. Like if I swipe up on the phone icon I have it set up to direct dial my gf. Or a swipe up on home page opens app drawer. And you can backup your setup so if you flash Roms you can have your home screen set back up in seconds

I think it will be a little more difficult for custom launchers on 4.4 because of the integration of the launcher and Google now.
I don't see how they could integrate Google now into the left swipe or the "ok Google"command working from all home screens. This link shows my reasoning.

Actually that's one of the reasons why I use custom launchers: To get rid of Google Search, Google Now, and "always on" voice commands.
I don't need these anyway and as a bonus get longer battery life (by completely disabling Google Search).

I would happily use the 4.4 launcher if you could remove the persistent search bar, which does nothing but get in the way. Its seems utterly pointless given that you can open search a number of other ways almost instantly.

I just found myself wondering what has kept me from buying full Apex already.

I hoping Apex will update soon because the stock icons are huge. My N5 feels like a jitterbug. but the transparent nav and status are so awesome i can live with the huge icons for now.

What features does Nova lack that Apex has?
The only feature I've noticed that is exclusive to Apex is the ability to make the search bar look like the tablet version. I emailed the Nova developer about this like nine months ago, and he said he may decide to add it in the future, but he obviously didn't.
Other than that, I haven't noticed anything exclusive to Apex.

Last time I checked it couldn't remove app labels in the app drawer and still had wide margins on the bottom of the home screens that couldn't be reduced/removed when the dock is absent. Apex does both of those.

Apex functions I need
Infinite scroll
Scrollable app bar
Gesture launch
KitKat has redundant access to google now / search. Swipe left, swipe up from home icon, say google now on any page. Why do we need all 3?
Also I dont want to have google now 1st screen to left. I like to have mail, calendar productivity full screen widgets to left then have music, news, reading widget apps to the right. My preference is no icons on screen above the app bar. Full screen widgets look great on such a nice screen. Simplicity please

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.

The GPE would more than likely have some motorola apps removed and possibly a bootloader that doesn't have to be unlocked by requesting a key from Motorola

If it came out 2 weeks earlier, I would have purchased GP edition for sure.
But unfortunately (or rather not) got US GSM version from Motorola.

Just bought one and its on its way. Question, does the GPE have the transparant bar on the lockscreen / homescreen like the Moto version? Or is it black like the rest of the GPE devices? The homescreen doesnt concerne me since I plan to use the Google Experience launcher but that black bar on the lockscreen.... yuck :/

It will not be transparent unless you use a 3rd party launcher like Nova Launcher. The launcher3 that GPE devices use don't use transparency.

some of the replies doesn't have a clue what you are asking since they haven't used a Nexus 5. I don't know for sure since I don't have a Moto G Google edition. I think if it doesn't come with a Google launcher like the Nexus 5 it's safe to assume the lockscreen will also have a black bar. Though the point of Google edition is you can unlock the bootloader and easy install custom roms so if stock don't have it you can flash a framework mod with transparent lockscreen. If you aren't planning to root then I don't think it's necessary to get the Google play edition imo.

You don't need to root to get a transparency in the launcher. You just need a launcher that supports transparency like Nova Launcher. Also, the lock screen should have a transparent status bars by default.

Are you rooted? Do YOU want stock launcher with transparency, and stock wallpapers? Own a GPe? Replace the file in system/priv-app with this https://www.dropbox.com/s/xco9j32o19eidqx/launcher2.apk made this for Nexus 4 but I figured it'll work on anything

Or just use the Launcher2 from Moto's 4.4 update which has transparency.

Ill have to see when it arrives, my question is because when my nexus 4 got kitkat update, the laucher had black bars as well as lockscreen which was expected, I changed to Google Launcher and the homescreen was transparent as promised but It did not affect lockscreen when it came to that and I wondered if it was the same thing here.
Ill find out Monday thanks all who helped

One thing that bothers me is that in the GPE it is written that FM radio not included.
Is this SW related or is this missing in the HW.
If it's hardware the this is a different version and Rom.
If it's software then how can this work. Loading a clean rom from the Europe versions?
Can somebody test this?
