DO u feel a bit laggy comparing to nexus 5? I felt so. Press on the running application button sometimes took a split sec longer. Navigate thru the ui sometimes jerk a bit.

It is very laggy compared to HTC m8. Maybe I need to disable Xperia launcher and quick apps.

It is, it's in settings, accounts-google, search, and top row is Google now but disabled by default. Could be conflicts causing lag?
Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
Google Now definitely came with my Z2 phone and tablet.
No lagg whatsoever, extremely fast.
It was disabled by default but as soon as you use google search (swipe up to right from home), it asks if you want to turn it on.
The Google now launchervis a home launcher. As in like the nexus 5 homescreen. Or nova launcher etc.

So on my home screen I've used the app power toggles a little bit in my setup. Though recently, when redoing my home screen today I've noticed that the music controls have not been working. I did just update my phone to 4.3 so I'm not sure if that's the reason why. Anyone else have issues?

What version of Android are you running? Stock 4.2.2 or 4.3? Or a custom rom?
Looks like it is grayed out on my side (back, Pause/Play and forwards).

If you are using a third party launcher, it could be causing the issues.

Negative. As I am using Apex launcher pro and PT is working absolutely fine. Prior to that i was using stock launcher and it was working great on that too.
OP check the version you are using and report back.

Thing is though, prior I was using Power Toggles (and the music buttons) with Nova Launcher Prime previously and there wasn't issue.
Closest thing I've been able to find from Googling around is this: http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-4/300241-power-control-widget-bug-4-3-a.html
Seems like it's an issue with Nova possibly when you update to 4.3 and use power toggles. Not sure if that's the case but the only thing I've found so far.
I have seen some posts on other forums where Nova is causing issues with widgets in general.

You can go to the Play Store page for Nova and weed thru the reviews, picking out the ones that mention 4.3, and you will see what I mean.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
whilst I like the slimer note 3 it has meant you can only have a row of 4 icons whereas previously you could have 5 - is there a way of making the icons smaller and thus have more icons per page?
Use a launcher and you can have as many as you like and yeah before u ask you still keep all the SPen functionality

In a number of launchers you can associate gestures with actions.
In Nova Launcher for example, you could associate "swipe up" to invoke the "My Magazine" app.

I'm personally using Nova Launcher, in the settings for the launcher there is a section to add your own gestures. I've just added "Swipe up to launch My Magazine" to the list.

I haven't seen anyone really mention this if someone had I apologize. In flashing and modding my Note 3i have discovered that KitKat 4.4 is a popular topic. We now have some of the apps to flash to our devices and now we have the actual stock Android launcher from KitKat 4.4!!!!!! The Google Experience Launcher is amazing by far the best stock launcher ever and one of the smoothest I have ever used also. I have been using it for a day and after set up I am currently using it as my daily. The only thing I really don't like is that you are unable to change the icons on the home screen and there are no native gestures implemented but no big deal. Now they have implemented some major changes the app drawer now contains only your apps, widgets have their own section, you can arrange and add more home screens. Google Now is actually completely incorporated into the launcher itself and the search bar is constantly listening for you to say Ok Google to start a search using voice commands through Google Now. There are 3 apk's you will have to install to make this work they are totally dependant upon each other so if one is missing it will not open or work. I will post a link for you so you can download and give it a try for yourself I hope you guys enjoy and remember I did not create this or have anything to do with it I am just sharing it. If you brick your device it's not my fault ...

I have installed all three apps but I Dont have the always listening feature working. Is there a certain order that they have to be installed in? Any other special dependencies that need to be met? I've done the process of searching and changing laguages but not always listening working. The search works but I have to hit the button and it doesn't say "Say OK Google" to search. Any ideas?
If everything is installed and you have the launcher working just say Google or Ok Google while on the homescreen there is no special order to install the apps

It goes automatically to Google Launcher with no Touchwiz option. A little tinkering reveals you have to clear the defaults for Google Search.

Works great with the Google Search 3.1 update which has fixed a lot of the bugs on non Nexus 5 devices, a few bugs remain though; when in landscape if you press & hold an app from the app drawer to uninstall there's no visible options like on previous launchers e.g. "App info" & "Uninstall", on further inspection if you drag it to the top left somewhere it'll go Blue & take you to "App info", on portrait everything is as normal, those same options appear etc. so I'd say bugs still need ironing out but it's still very usable.
Also in landscape the X is missing when removing apps from the home screen but again if you drag to the very edge (top left) it'll go Red & delete app shortcuts etc.

Well the Launcher installed fine on my tab 3 8.0 but I didn't have OK google on the home screen and after I changed languages I lost it on google search page as well... Velvet wouldn't install... I already have the newest google search and play services though so I thought all I would need is the Launcher? What am I doing wrong...

Welcome . Were you able to install this launcher ? If so , then how did you find it? I think that you also must be facing the status bar problem that it's not transparent . But don't worry . You can modify the status bar like I have done by using Xposed Framework , Wanam Xposed , Gravity Box . I have attached the screenshot in this post with transparent status bar .
P.S. - Although I know how to enable the "OK Google" , I have not enabled the "OK Google" command .
Please hit thanks If I helped you . It cost's you nothing .

I have just one Question:
Why using KitKat Launcher since TW Launcher is just awesome ?
Note: If you're looking for a 3rd party app, just install "Nova or ADW"
You may also search for "KitKat Launcher" in PlayStore unless you want the Stock one from Nexus 7 (2013)

Magazine UX is probably the Flipboard engine, modified to launch a couple of Samsung Apps.
At least it will look and behave Flipboard-like, which can get annoying soon.

When it was announced M-UX was a replacement UI, was set as the default home page, came with three pages of M-UX content installed out-of-the-box, and had a ton of live widgets and the ability to add a tile (shortcut) to launch any installed app.
From the Verge in January...
The new tablets feature Samsung's new home screen layout called Magazine UX. The layout offers tiles of apps and information that users can customize and configure. Three preset pages are offered by default, though users can customize up to five pages with apps and news widgets. The whole system feels very similar to the LiveTile system in Windows 8.1 and is a bit more approachable for new users than the typical home screen. Ironically, the power users that Samsung is targeting with the Pro tablets will likely find the Magazine UX too constricting and limiting.​Since then it's been renamed from "M-UX" to "Content Home," reduced to a single home page that's no longer the default (standard TW is), half the widgets shown at MWC are gone, and so are the tile app shortcuts. My guess is that it's been neutered as part of the cooperation agreement signed between Google and Samsung. Samsung Hub which was a content competitor to Google Play is also now gone on the Pro's.
To your point, what's left pretty much is a more flexible version of My Magazine that allows you to choose and re-arrange what news and social content is displayed on the page. Based on what it's ended up being I won't be upset if our update doesn't include it.
