Greeting Guys!!!
This Tutorial is to tell you How To Install Android 4.4 KitKat Launcher On Any Jelly Bean Device !!!
It’s worth noting that Google Experience Launcher may not work on all phones, and you may face force close issues. In my own testing, the launcher didn’t face any problem whatsoever on the international variant of Galaxy NOTE II, but your mileage may vary depending on your device. I advise that you create a backup before proceeding. Best of Luck :good:
Requirements
A phone running Android 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 Jelly Bean
This archive => http://d-h.st/oHj .It contains:
1. PreBuiltGmsCore.apk (Google Play Services 4.0)
2. Velvet.apk (Google Search)
3. GoogleHome.apk (Launcher)

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Procedure
1. Again, to be on the safe side I recommend that you create a backup first to avoid any issues.
2. Next up, download the ZIP fie provided in the link above and extract its contents to an easily accessible location. You can download the file to your PC and transfer them to your device, or you can download it straight to your Android device and extract the archive using any file extraction app.
3. Now, install all three files available in that folder one by one by simply tapping on them..
4. Once done, simply press Home and select the new Launcher as default.
Note: If you face Google Search Force Close issue, just long-press the home screen in the new launcher, select Settings and then tap Voice. Select Language to change the default. You can change to any another language and then again back to your own language by following the same procedure.

I had been looking for a sexy black GB keyboard for a while, finally found one and thought I'd share. This works on my Droid Incredible running MIUI, but I imagine it works for other HDPI devices.
THIS IS NOT MY WORK, ALL CREDIT GOES TO JAN-WILLEM3. THIS IS THE KEYBOARD FROM HIS JW MIUI ROM FOUND HERE
Requirements: Root Explorer
Instructions:
1. If you're using the stock "android keyboard", switch to any other input method (swype, swiftkey, smart keyboard, etc), as this is what we'll be replacing.
2. Check your system/app folder to see if you already have a LatinIME.apk. If so, move it to you SD card (in case you want to revert or it doesn't work). NOTE!: Make sure you have another keyboard installed and selected besides the "android keyboard", as this is what you're removing and replacing. This is just to have available while installing the new "android keyboard".
3. Move the new LatinIME.apk to system/app.
4. Set permissions. Permissions should look like everything else in system/app: rw-r--r--
5. Reboot.
6. Long press any text field, select "input method", and choose "android keyboard".
7. Enjoy the sexy new black GB keyboard!
Download: HERE
Thanks again to Jan-Willem3!
Lovely keyboard, many thanks.
Doesn't work. Constantly FCing.
Edit: the lib_...so file is missing, that's why it doesn't work.
f.
Edit 2: Added the lib file, but it seems this kb is for mdpi devices: very small and the colors are green+orange highlights and a black keyboard.
Forelli, what device are you using? This keyboard is originally for an HD2 rom, and I believe that's an HDPI device.
The keyboard is black with blue highlights, and green separators (these things | ) in the word suggestion bar right above the keyboard buttons.
Dont forget to give credit to this orginal creator
I only adjusted it for WVGA devices some small things in the colours and updated it to latest android source with extra languaes.
Gregtard the orginal creator of the keyboard.

Download Android Market 3.3.12 here
If normal installation didn't work out well for you, use the method below.
Procedure to install via Root Explorer Method
1. Download the apk file from the above link to your sd card.
2. Now using Root explorer, go to /system/app
3. Mount the system to r/w.
4. Now search for Vending.apk & rename it to Vending.apk1
5. Copy the file you just downloded to /system/app & rename it to Vending.apk
6. Now press & hold the app and select Permissions
7. Select only the options given below. Now REBOOT & enjoy.....
The new market is incredibly slow compared to old market on my IncS CM7. quickly reverted back to old market. doesn't seem worth it just yet.
The new, and old, Market is very fast with this App.
Im using "Google DNS".
I can't see my own apps anymore in this market
Why in the new versions, the Market doesn't remember what I installed previously !?? It would be great if there was a way to remember what I installed and redownload it after a Full WIPE for example.... Why did they took away that option from us ?!
I find the new Market v3.3.11 is faster than the old one. As what Enes_81 and Me4oKyX mentioned, the installed apps in the phone is not being seen. I think that is the only part missing in the layout but it is still accessible when you press Menu button.
Market updated
what's the lateste version?
hmm i can't revert to the old market after flashing this one..
i just updated to a pervious version , trying yours right now , thanks

UPDATE: there is an alternative app that let you change the color mode, but you need root.
If you're interested, this is the xda thread, and the dev is @emandt. This is the only way I've found of having a not saturated color mode if you don't have a touchwiz rom, like Cyanogenmod.
works for me on G920f rom Touchwiz

1 - Join this community
Manual download - Version 1.1.6
Download link: http://www.emandt.net/Android/ColorModeChanger/Testing/ColorModeChanger_1106.apk
Version 1.1.6:
- Fixed Interface issues on Tablets
- Fixed FC on UI opening on Tablets
Limitations ONLY during BETA period:
1) Each time you launch the App it checks for License. If internet connection is not available, the App will not run.
2) For cause n.1 the option "Start at boot" will not work because internet connection is not ready during boot (but it will work when released outside the Beta period)
3) Only MANUAL update available
4) If you have more than one Google Account registered on your device, please contact me because I have to manually add the others to the Licensed list.
- Install on External SDCard is not supported
- Only English Language available
Instructions and development choises:
To avoid creating a permanent running Background Service/Process AND a separated Interface (for changing Settings) I preferred to use an "all-in-one" App which requires this steps:
- first launch the App doesn't show anything (it just set the default/last_saved configuration)
- if launched AGAIN within 30 seconds it will open Settings Interface
- next launches follow the same behaviour as before
This behaviour is intended to work with "Start at boot" options to avoid Interface launching after a Boot is completed.
PS: Open the Interface (the second launch within 30 secs from the first one) may take few seconds while reading informations of your screen.
Instructions for download and activate it:
1) Visit this link and accept to be a Beta Tester: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.emandt.colormodechanger (this link will allows your Google Account to get a valid License)
2) PLEASE DON'T DOWNLOAD the App from Play Store because a payment is required even if in Beta (Google is crazy charging Testers for this), but manually download it with the link above
Please report bugs providing Device Name and Android Version or I cannot help you so much.

About:
This windows application will have you connect your Android device to your windows pc and allow you to show or hide android apps. Root is not required to do this. All of these commands can be done manually as well. This application allows you to do so with just a few clicks! Clear out your app drawer by hiding apps you do not use!
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for what you do with this application, you are using it at your own risk and you assume all liabilities.
Version:
1.0 – Initial Release
Needed:
Windows PC (at least Windows 7 +)
Android Device with drivers installed
USB cable for device to pc
Directions:
1. Connect your device to your pc
a. Ensure appropriate drivers are already installed
2. Open the WinADB.exe application and then click the “Connect Device and Click Here to Start” button.
3. From there, you should notice device information populate in the application.
a. The “Show/Hide Apps” and “Reboot” options will become active.
4. To show/hide apps, click the “Show ALL” button and give it a few moments to populate the list.
a. This will not remove apps, it will only hide them from your app drawer!
b. Once the list loads, you can then select (one app at a time) an app by clicking it.
c. To hide it, click the “HIDE” button.
d. If you need to show the app again later, you may need to click on the “Show Uninstalled” button to see it again. You can then select the app from that list and click the “SHOW” button to see it again.
Depending on your version of Android and the device you have, not all features may work or work as intended. Please keep this in mind. I have tested this application directly with an ATT Samsung Galaxy S5 (rooted) and an ATT Asus MemoPad 7 LTE (not rooted) and has worked for both with no issues. All feedback is welcome!
