hey what's up everybody this is dawn and to diminish show you how to install the
Google now launcher on pretty much
any Android device. Now it was released in the Play Store not too long ago as you
can see right here but unfortunately it's only
compatible with Nexus devices and Google Play edition devices
and if you don't have a compatible device you get the spending the whole
message up here at the top but
there are two different methods to install the Google now launch on your
device and method one doesn't work for you then met the two should definitely
work for you and as you can see
I have the full on Google now launcher on my device and you can even do this
okay Google but keep in mind method 11 only work if you're running Android 4.4
Kit Kat so otherwise you might have to check out method to buy
right now I am on an article on Droid Life dot com
and at the bottom of this article there's actually a link that will allow
you to download the Google launcher AP K
and you can go ahead and install it that way like I said this doesn't work try
out method to coming up here
in a little bit during the video here but I will include a link to this
article for this
ABK and also try to leave be merely down below
cuz this website that its hosted on: is kinda shady and others all kinda pop ups
in
download banners and are the real dalla banners but you want to get to that
little tiny download link in the middle
and if you can manage to do that correctly and get you the a PK
for the Google now launcher then great and you had a little pop up down at the
bottom
go ahead and cap on okay to download the launcher
and then continue on an install it but keep in mind you may have to enable
unknown sources to be able to do that but once it's installed
you can go ahead and hit home button and set it up as your default launcher if
you'd like
now this method does not work for you there's a good chance that method to
will work out for you and that was the case for me with my galaxy s4
I could not get this launcher installed but there is another method here and as
you can see we have the galaxy s4 pulled up and I also do have an article from
fone arena and I'll be sure to link that down below any description but
you can see here we had the standard TouchWiz launcher which not many people
are a fan out so
go ahead and pull up that phone Arena article using the link download in the
description
and at the bottom that you'll find a Google and now a PK
now the requirements for this are that you had the Google search
ABK installed from the Play Store and completely up today and
you can read through that here in the article but makes you download the
Google Search app from the Play Store
and then you can go ahead and download that Google now launcher AP Kate at
slimmed down here at the bottom and I'll be sure to link these down below
any description so be sure to check out the description for all the links that
you need for either these methods
so as you can see here I already had the launcher pulled up to the install screen
and it's just gonna ask if you wanna install the application you may have to
enable
unknown sources though but it will prompt you to do so if needed
and it is installing now now once the launcher is installed we can go ahead
and tap on
opener just press the home button either one works and it will bring you to the
Google now launcher so we are all set up here just go ahead and accept the terms
and then you have this brief tutorial
if you care to you can read everything in there you can
but after that we are presented with a fully functional Google now launcher we
have defeated the TouchWiz monster yes
that is the goal here why least for me but I'm curious to know which method
work for you and which device were you able to accomplish this on be sure to
let me know down in the comment section below
