So I tried using the Google Experience Launcher (usually referred to as Google Home) on my Desire X (stock 4.1.1) but every time I tap the Launcher icon I only get an 'Unfortunately, Google Search has stopped' error message. I do have the newest Google Search version installed. Did anyone get the launcher to work on a DX?

Nova Launcher beta has kitkat icons too and transparant bars, I personally use/like that one
May be it doesn't work on Android 4.1 with sense coz it works on Android 4.2 sense. For example HTC One:

Hey all, I am havin an issue with installing "google car home". I had CM on a HTC sapphire and it would show up in the market now it doesn't. I assume thats because google isn't releasing car home for P500 over market. I have tried installing the app and launcher apks from sdcard as "user apps" and also bundling them into "system apps" on a resigned ROM to no avail. Whats up with that.
Most recently packaged with void-base as system app. The launcher icon appears on install in the app drawer, when it is hit the indicator icon appears in notification bar however the car home UI does not appear. Is this a problem with the ROM, or maybe launcher pro, or the way I am installing it? It came packaged with the stock Tmo and worked.
Some questions I have to trouble shoot this: where are the "user apps" stored? I am not running a2sd. what is the name of the stock home app so I can switch from Launcher pro?
Thnaks
Hi, I came on here looking for the same answer, I've started using the navigation app and I'd like to install Google Car Home. It says it's non compatible, can anyone help?
Thanks.
Try installing the one below.

To get any of the Atrix HD widgets working, you need to use the Atrix Hd launcher.
Here is the Zip File with the Atrix HD Launcher and 3 Widgets (Favorites, Weather, and the Circles Clock)
Just install the Apk files. Circles currently only works with the MAHD launcher.

Haven't tried it yet so dont know if it works, but if so go give credit to OP. Hint, click on blue text that says "originally posted by" to be taken to the OP.
Edit: works on my kindle fire! Doesn't install on my atrix however. Parsing error on each one.
it replies parsing error probably because of your OS version. at least ICS is required.

Makes sense! Duh me. Im on cm7. Thanx
Works on Jelly Bean (4.1.1)
Launcher works but constantly crashes with Circle Widgets on screen.
Sent from my Jellybean Atrix 4G
I installed this on my Hd2 running jellybean and it installs fine but the Circles clock app which I wanted it for wont show up. I get "unfortunately, the process com. motorola.homescreen has stopped"
Download "Rings Digital Weather Clock" from Google Play. Its just the widget, not the whole launcher. It also looks like you dont need to have ics or later since it said it was compatible with all my devices.
Not nearly the same but still gives a nice look.
I wanted to install and use the Google Now Launcher in my Moto E... But the fact is, After I set it all up, I have noticed 2 things:
a) It takes up a huge amount of RAM
b) The transition from the app drawer to the Home Screen is really, really choppy (laggy)
My question is : Is this a problem with my device or some problem related to the launcher itself?
(I have also used the Nova, Aviate and Apex Launchers before... But they have all been smooth like the stock Launcher)

Install Link2SD app and move some apps to the SDCARD to free up space, then install the google launcher now, I did it and ran well, to make this you need rooted.
Google Search version 4.0 doesn't have this issue, as the transition from home screen to app drawer and vice versa is smooth. But the only catch is that, as Google Search version 4.0 is only released with Lollipop, installing it in 4.4 unrooted ROMs would make your OK Google search hotword not working anymore. So have to disable OK Google hotword or it keeps crashing. If you don't mind that, then its a prefect launcher.
More info: http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...p-developer-preview-apk-downloadinstructions/
ya those transitions are really laggy..but those will be fixed in lollipop.!
BUT WHERE IS THAT UPDATE MANNN..!!AM FRUSTRATED NOW
I am downloading Google Search v4... along with the L Launcher...
But the catch is, my phone is not rooted...
So I'll try and disable "Ok Google" and find out.
Thanks everyone
I am using google now launcher w/o OK google and average 450 mb free ram.No lags.
I realize this has been a topic that's been talked about a lot, especially since the LG G5 was release in April, so I apologize in advance. But I couldn't find anything that relates to my problem. This is one thing that continues to blow my mind - I don't have any option for Home and app drawer in my settings.
I've been reading article after article about the LG Smartworld app where you can download the older 4.0 Home and app drawer, however it seems performance is sub-par with it and is buggy on the G5. Also, articles state that LG finally released the UX 5.0 Home and app drawer, so why would I settle for the older version? Here's where this doesn't make sense to me, because it seems like this issue has been solved and done with - but I still don't have this option. There is no "App Updates" selection in Settings > About > Software Update. There is no "Update Center" option in About, which leads me to believe this update is for unbranded, non carrier versions of the G5. I have received one update since I bought the phone and that was just a security patch update; further checking Software Update tells me I'm up to date. I cannot for the life of me understand why I cannot find any information about this. Is AT&T blocking this update or something? AT&T blocked updates for me with my Nexus 6 and I had to perform a factory reset with my SIM removed, set up the phone via WiFi, and instantly received the update. Will I have to do something similar in order to get the UX 5.0 Home and app drawer? This is so frustrating, any insight will be greatly appreciated.
Yeah, I also have no "update center" option on my AT&T device. I run nova launcher but still had 4.0 Home and app Drawer just to have the option. After an update that was said to include UX 5.0 I removed 4.0 only to find there was no 5.0 or app drawer. Like you I look and look baut can not find anyway to obtain UX 5.0 with app drawer. I've re-installed 4.0 and continue to use Nova as it my preferred launcher anyway.
But I would like to know how I can obtain UX5.0 if anyone knows or can share the APK.
Did you figure out anything about the app drawer on AT&T?
I have sprint, but not 5.0 app drawer. My app drawer is 4.80..you could download lg world and look around
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/lgele...elease/smartworld-5-1-2-android-apk-download/
UX 5.0 is the entire SystemUi not a launcher. The stock launcher pre-installed is part of UX 5.0 so if you want the app drawer back you will have to install the LG Smart World app and search for LG Home 4.0 install it and you will get you app drawer back or you can install a 3rd party launcher from the play store which is what I did I never use the stock launcher all because of limited features. I use Action Launcher which is the best launcher I have found so far. You can go here

Hello,
Recently I have find out that my phone is deleting all of my shortcuts on my home screen after Android updates... So for example every Chrome shortcut link icon on home screen or contact shortcut gets deleted / is missing after Android Update of my phone. Does any of you guys have an idea what could be going on? Thank you in advance.

Are you using the stock launcher? This happened with the MS launcher for a while.

No, I was asking if you are using the default 1+ launcher, which apparently you are.
I was referring to alternative launchers (home screen) such as Lawnchair, MS, Nova, and others.
looking at the play store reviews ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.oneplus.launcherlooking ) it seems you aren't the only one with issues.
try a different launcher

Thank you for your answer. The link does not work for me... Which launcher do you recommend?
Nova has a huge fan base and is well liked
I haven't used Lawnchair for a while, but it used to be very pixel like
I've been using the MS launcher for several years because I like how it handles the app drawer and home buttons.
Try various ones. If you don't like it just go to settings/default apps, change the Home app back to OnePlus then delete the one you didn't like and try another.
Okay I have recieved an update because phone is not mine, but the owner of the phone already tried changing the launcher to google now launcher. It did not fix an issue. And just to add something to the post the shortcuts are missing after every reboot of the phone and not after updates it was my bad at the first post.
Sorry, of it is happening with the Google launcher and the OnePlus launcher after each reboot try asking in the OnePlus community
