Google seems to have actually managed to gain a competitive advantage with the new stock launcher: the integration of Google Now including the corresponding voice command "OK Google".
Do you think or are you able to tell if this is something, that developers of other launchers will also be able to do?
Furthermore, so far there isn't a launcher out yet with transparent navbar, or am I wrong? Which launcher would you recommend for the nexus 5 in regards to this? I have always used Apex on my GNex and my Nexus 4 and was very happy. But the transparent nav- and statusbars are just too darn sexy.
Put short, if you are looking for an exact copy of the Google Experience Launcher, you're outta luck. It's impossible for a third party launcher to integrate the Google Now 'left swipe' screen or the voice activated "OK, Google" as both features have closed APIs. The good news is, at least the Nova Launcher dev has said that he's planning to implement the same feature but in a different way. For example, placing an entire Google Now widget on the left screen. It won't be exactly how Google has it, but it will be close enough
As for the transparent UI status bar, I believe all third party launchers will support this feature.

thanks..that was kind of what i thought. I don't really need the swipe or voice activation (allthough they're nice to have)...transparent nav- and statusbars are way more important
any word on when which dev is gonna come up with an update including the new features for kitkat? since i've been using apex for the last 2 years or so i'm not really aware of the differences to the other launchers..

Not sure about Apex, but Nova should be sooner than later. The dev has already implemented the feature, it's just a matter of when he decides to release it.
Action Launcher is what I'm currently using. Very responsive dev, I;m currently running the beta and he's added transparency, white folders and white accents to match the kitkat theme.

Action Launcher Beta has transparency. I don't like the launcher itself though, and it does cost $3.99. Nova creater says he is working on it, but didn't give an ETA for the actual release or beta. You can sign up for either beta through Google+.

the only thing i dont like about stock is that you can't set your home panel.
it's annoying having to put all my icons to the right

100% agree with this "it's annoying having to put all my icons to the right"
I like my screens where they were and now centering is left WTF?
I like the stock launcher. But it isn't possible to hide App icons in the Drawer vor can I do this? I didn't find an Option for this

I will go with stock until nova reveives an update.
I've always used Nova, but I could start using stock launcher (I like the swipe to Google Now) if only there was a way to apply a theme icons as we can do with third party launchers

Stock Launcher great, but ...
I can agree it would be great if the stock laucher had two small addons, than it would be the best launcher for me:
1. Custom Number of Rows and Columns for Home and App Drawer
2. A chance to organize the App Drawer using either "Folders" or "Tabs"
Is it not possible for some devs to achieve this with the experience launcher an make my dream come true to have
a more experience launcher.
Best Regards ... I would also pay for such a launcher ...
I agree. I love the stock launcher but hate the icons, if they update to allow icon packs that would be great and to have more control over the app drawer.

Just a point of info....almost every Android launcher I've downloaded from 1Mobile.com seems to work, to some degree, on the HDX. Particularly promising is VIRE Launcher, which in addition to looking and working like other standard launchers, displays the 4 or 5 wallpapers that it comes with, as well as a clock widget that comes standard with the launcher.
I also noticed that, unlike with the HD, you can set the Android launcher as the default launcher when you press the home button (On the 2012 models, if you did find a working launcher, you could only activate it by an icon, not the home button).
I just tried out the Trebuchet launcher from Hashcode's cm10.1 tate file and it works great on my HDX 8.9" so far. Setting it always as the home button makes it the default launcher also!
Edit: Changing some of the setting is causing Trebuchet to crash.
Using 1 mobile market I download apex,nova,adw,buzz,go,etc
Buzz allows the wallpapers that come with the themes you download for it. However most themes use a lot of widgets which do not work.
Go launcher allows you to change the wallpaper only for the app drawer. Also when I have it in portrait mode the launcher does not work unless I have auto rotate off. Go launcher also works with gowidgets.

That's why I personally recommend Vire, which has 4 or 5 wallpapers built in that you can use, plus two different clock widgets. There's also Espier, which, since it's modeled after iOS, is designed to look good without widgets on the screen.

I know this probably won't make me a lot of friends here, but honestly, I prefer the HDX stock interface to any Android launcher that I might replace it with.
Nova Launcher 2.3b3
I would like to confirm that Nova Launcher 2.3 beta 3 works perfectly on my 8.9 HDX WiFi, replacing stock launcher.
There is a bug though - long tap on anything (i.e. to add/move/remove widget or app) in landscape mode causes screen rotation and nothing else. Switch to portrait, do what you need and turn back to landscape. Other than that - I'm a happy camper with Nova
nova launcher
Yeah i test nova launcher and it s working very well ! Only wallpaper and widget not working ! When you long tape on anything, just block the rotation and all is good! Y ou can also put the old Amazon launcher to use it when y ou want !

I agree that the stock interface is very nice. I just wish there was a way to install custom icons. Sideloading apps leads to some low resolution icons on the carousel. Can't wait for this device to get rooted.
I'm curious, I know that most of the Google apps can be side loaded, except for the play store, of course, so would the "Google Experience" launcher, the one from the Nexus 5 work? It's worked so far on all devices on 4.2 and up for me.

There is a tutorial on the internet. I haven't tried it yet, I will be getting my kindle around December, to replace my rooted Nook HD. Is it better than the Nexus 7? I figure that a root method is inevitable, but is there a big performance difference between the S4 pro and the 800?

Yea. The big downside that's not addressed with sideloading is finding and updating apks for apps you've paid for on the Play store. 1 Mobile Market only has free apps. So things like icon packs/themes or apps that have license verification will not work.

I figure that i may be able to extract apps that I bought from the Nook, remove verification with Lucky Patcher, then sideload them. Would that work? I mean, I already bought them, so it's not piracy or warez, but would creating a modded APK without verification from lucky patcher work on a non rooted device?

what he described is default on the new google experience launcher, its from android 4.4. google install google experience launcher, youll find it. you can install the google experience launcher on earlier versions too. on the default launcher before this one, you cant remove screens, unless youre using some kind of mod.
I didn't realize he was talking about the N4. If you have an empty home-screen you want to remove try putting something on it and then delete that item. I had an issue on the N5 where an extra one wouldn't go away for me but doing this resolved the problem.

AFAIK only the N5 got the Google Experience Launcher. All other Nexi are still using the old one.
You can't get rid of the empty screens. Either fill them up, or change launchers to one that supports the removal of screens
Try Nova or Apex launcher, both are pretty popular. Or just wait for 4.4 to come to the nexus 4 with the new GEL.

Does anybody know how i can get Nexus 6's launcher onto the Note 4. I install Google Now launcher and it gives me a 4x4 grid. But all the Nexus 6 vids show a 5x5 grid utilising the resolution properly. Is it some modified Google now launcher? Any input would be greatly appreciated. I'm not here to boast about anything Note or Nexus related. I just like that launcher and am just very curious. Thanks.
Did you long press on the screen and then modified your settings, if i remember correctly you can change it from there, another option its to use a launcher like Nova wich its my favorite, for some weird reason google now launcher drains my battery fast :-/

I know of XposedGEL I was looking thanks stefantumi. I was looking for a method that wouldn't require root though. Honestly I thought Google just made it dependent on the screen resolution really or if anything it's a different apk that could be easily extract-able and honestly I'm kind of surprised nobody else has brought this up yet I guess I'm just picky.
Nova launcher was my first thought too pikul, and I AM running it on a 5x5 grid. I'll try extracting the apk from the factory image of the nexus 6 and see if i can install that.

I had a Moto X Pure and was running a rooted version of the stock ROM..... I installed Layer's manager and the layer of my choice (Dark Stock) and it worked.

First of all, Layers has been deprecated and Substratum has taken it's place. Although it does have legacy support for Layers still. And secondarily, (maybe a silly question, but I'm just going on the way you've worded your question) did you download the theme(s) you want to try from the play store? And then there's also a good chance, even though android now has (some) native support for RRO themeing, that some things like the ui and dialer etc will not themes as the commits are not there from ZTE.

I seen there was a new name with "Layer's" being secondary in some of the descriptions? A lot can change in a month, because I was using "Layer's" just last month on my Moto X Pure and had no idea it was going away.
Yes, I did download the theme I wanted from the PlayStore (Dark Stock).
I may try it again since I've done a few more things to it....And I realize that not everything is "theme-able", mainly looking for just a few things, like the notification cards in the pull down and my settings menu.
But the fact I was still using the Layers Manager was probably the issue. I just installed the Substratum manager and it worked, at least for the notification cards. The settings menu wasn't completely themed, so I un-theme'd it.
This is all I really wanted! My PlayStore is also themed, the rest is left alone.

That's great news. I'm thinking maybe with that, Nova Launcher and TBO theme able apps for Google I may just be able to live with the factory ui for a while until we can get something more aosp once I get mine.

I normally don't do Xposed with a custom ROM, but Xposed is great at modding a stock ROM....So, yes I installed Xposed for just a couple small things (using GravityBox):

3) More music volume steps (30)
I also used emoji switcher and have "Emoji One" emoji's.

Oh man, this is pretty much all I need to get me by until some actual development starts up. That is if we ever get sources or AOSP type ports. Only thing I worry about with ports is full functionality of all the features this phone has and oft times battery life can take a hit due to lack of full optimization. Thank you.

From looking at the Substratum page, it seems like it has two modes -- one with root and one without. Is that accurate? It'd be nice to have themeability while still staying stock.
