Additionally, you must enable <strong>Allow installation of apps from unknown sources<\/strong> in your device settings. And, it's wise to<strong> create a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/full-android-backup\/\">backup<\/a><\/strong> of your device as a precaution.<\/p>\n<h2>Installation Steps<\/h2>\n<p>To equip your device with the Google Experience Launcher, you'll need to download three crucial .APK files:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>PreBuiltGmsCore.apk<\/strong> \u2013 Update 4.0 for Google Play Services.<\/li>\n<li><strong>GoogleHome.apk<\/strong> \u2013 The launcher itself, bundled in a .zip file <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/chromecast.en.uptodown.com\/android\">available here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>The <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/androidfilehost.com\/?fid=23212708291677093\">Google Search apk update<\/a>, essential for full functionality.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Note: The .zip also contains <strong>velvet.apk<\/strong>, which is no longer necessary due to the updated Google Search link provided.<\/p>\n<p>After downloading the .APKs to your desktop, transfer them to your phone via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/push-content-android-pushbullet\/\">PushBullet<\/a> or a direct USB connection. Use your phone's file manager to locate the files.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/google-experience-launcher-for-android\/google-experience-launcher-files.jpg\" alt=\"Display of APK Files Required for Installation\" height=\"300\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p>Install the files individually, in any order, ensuring all three are fully installed. Hit your phone's Home Button to switch to the Google Launcher and begin your enhanced Android experience.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/google-experience-launcher-for-android\/google-experience-launcher-first-run.jpg\" alt=\"Google Launcher Welcome Screen\" height=\"417\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p>Remember, the Google Experience Launcher won't provide transparent navigation bars without Android 4.4. Additionally, previous issues with Google Search crashes from <strong>velvet.apk<\/strong> are resolved with the updated Google Search APK linked here.<\/p>\n<h2>Customizing Home Screen Panels<\/h2>\n<p>The Google Experience Launcher introduces a fresh approach to managing home screen panels and widgets, allowing for unlimited panel additions. However, the process to <strong>add home screen panels<\/strong> deviates from the norm found in many custom launchers.<\/p>\n<p>To add a panel, start in the <strong>app drawer<\/strong>. <strong>Press and hold an app icon<\/strong> and then drag it to the extreme right of your screens. A new panel will be automatically created for the icon. Removing a panel is just as straightforward: clear it of all widgets and icons. Remember, new panels can only be added to the right as the leftmost panel is reserved for <strong>Google Now<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/google-experience-launcher-for-android\/google-experience-launcher-new-panel.jpg\" alt=\"Process of Adding a New Panel to the Home Screen\" height=\"417\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<h2>Integrating Widgets<\/h2>\n<p>Widget integration within the Google Experience Launcher also diverges from conventional methods, lacking a dedicated Widgets section in the app drawer.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, press and hold on an empty space within a home screen panel and select <strong>Widgets<\/strong> from the menu that appears. You can then select and position widgets as desired, even using them to create additional home screen panels.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/google-experience-launcher-for-android\/google-experience-launcher-widgets.jpg\" alt=\"Steps for Adding Widgets to the Home Screen\" height=\"417\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p>While the Google Experience Launcher may not feature the extensive customization options of launchers like Nova, its streamlined and efficient interface is sure to attract users seeking simplicity and effectiveness. <strong>Try it out and share your thoughts in the comments below.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Note: This post was first published on the Nov 14, 2013.
