I guess mines don't have the UX 5.0 yet ;-;

How do I know if I have this UI?

If you want app drawer back, download LG Home 4.0 theme from the SmartWorld app.
Fyi

Yeah so after getting Nova setup and going, I feel like an idiot that I just did not go install the UX 4.0 Theme. Now it looks like it should with the UX 4.0 theme, having my app drawer back .

I did the exact same thing with nova and then seeing this thread and downloading 4.0

I can't find any updates on this. I got 4.0 but LG released that video and everything about 5.0 and no one has it. Assuming an ota will come out sooner or later.

We got like 4.9, which rounds up to 5, unless you have something different. There are features missing when compared to LGs official 5.0 video.
What do you see in your home screen selector? Can you add the app tray back.

yea you have to download 4.0 or you only have 5.0 or google now by default I think. Who likes 5.0 anyways *eeek* I got 4.0 right away and life is again good.

OK I saw the video, I don't have the option to choose a launcher with app drawer like they show

Launcher dont have setting menu, it's ugly and slow.
Zero customization.
I would guess it's not the final launcher just the app taken from somewhere. Also I think if tgere is a setting menu you'll only have it with 4.4
If u think launcher is too big i changed it via dpi 210/220 so it will have 4x5 grid and kinda small search bar. And i made this my default since i get below 300mb on carbon rather than trebuchet on 345mb. Its lighter than touchwiz though u might as well give it a try. Sorry quote is broken on xda app for me
Sent from my GT-i8160 using xda app-developers app
Yes i also changed DPI but icons are still big..probably we will see this launcher on store one day
Btw how did u get clock to work? It didnt showed up on mine :x

I have this launcher and I love it, but I dislike the dependence that google has created between the launcher amd google now. I think they want to control us more than what they have just done.

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
Nova > stock launcher

When I get mine I'll probably try the same. Only thing is icons... That's all I really want to change.

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).
Running Nova launcher Prime here without problems
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
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.

If you say "Ok Google" while on the home screen, does it launch the voice search like it does on the stock kitkat launcher ?

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.

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

Okay But I haven't seen any usable png on the official dialer and contacts of Android L. :3 Even digits.png
I would like to have this one too.
It looks amazing! It's when you select from contacts who you call, it doesn't open a new activity, rather it makes that circle animation and transforms into the incallUI. It' look great but is it possible to port it somehow to kitkat?
any news on this?
