Are there any roms which have the feature introduced in the nexus 5 where one of the homescreens is google now?
Just install gel launcher.

Does anyone know of an MIUI v4 or v5 lock screen style mod that will flash on the Nexus 4? I'm running AOKP at present however as I'm new to the N4 phone, I am probably going to play with a few roms before settling on a daily driver.
I quite like the glow effect of the MIUI lock screen when unlocking.
I don't want to install any apk from the market as these just sit over the top and are nothing but trouble.
Thanks.
You can install MiHome launcher from play store

I haven't tried any Roms yet but apparently Google has decided to make the GEL a nexus 5 exclusive. So I'm assuming we'll be getting the aosp launcher. Is it any different or is it the same old boring launcher 2? I actually kind of like the GEL just from playing around with it on my rooted n7

They launcher did update in AOSP (Launcher3 now) it looks identical to the GEL minus google now integrated into the left-most screen.
Also the GEL can be installed by just using the APK, no need to have root.
Awesome then I'm not to worried about GEL. If aosp is updated this means the new look will most likely be coming to third party launchers too which is better IMO then getting gel

Install Nova Beta.
Exactly the same only thing is that the bars are transparant.

Yeah, I thought it was a stupid move on Google's part to exclude this feature from the Nexus 4 as well as others.
If you are running Android 4.4 KitKat on your Nexus 4 go to this website, follow instructions. It should be pretty straight forward

Those launchers (including nexus 5 launcher) make header and footer transparent only on home screen and applications list screen. Black bars are most annoying when you're reading messages or documents, surfing internet, etc.. I really don't care about home screen. Is there any better way to get rid of this?
No, and that's how it is on the Nexus 5 as well.
Hi guys,
I had the Nexus 4 with Android 4.3 and when someone extracted some apps from Nexus 5 I installed them, also the new launcher.
After I got my OTA update from Google to android 4.4 I had two launchers on my phone.
Finally I got my Nexus 5 and I put Google factory image on my nexus 4.
Is it right that android 4.4 for nexus 4 doesn't have the same launcher as nexus 5 (Home screen is still the screen in the middle, not the almost left, empty screens are still shown...)?

nope not the same launcher...you need to install it manually if you want it...if you root your phone and install a rom then with gapps you alrready get it but if you are not rooted then just either sideload it or just install like a normal apk
Ok, thanks

Hi me and my dad have the same phones. The nexus 6p, and some of application icons such as the camera app are different. Even though they are the same version of the app and android 7.1.2. Any reasons why?
Do either of you use a custom launcher with icon packs?
