Because Google chose not to make it available.

Nexus 5 only

You can install it pretty easy. Download it from Android Police then goto Settings, Home, and pick the new launcher.

Just get a HTC phone

Check out agile lock. Its an exact replica of sense 3.0 with customizable app shortcuts and the new version has the ability to install widgets on the lockscreen.
Edit: here is a thread i started awhile back. Its in the market also. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189534

lol. some parts of sense are really nice. but it's way too bloated. maybe if the devices had more ram..
You can try beautiful widgets to try and replace the HTC clock.

What are your Impressions of 4.2

So I flashed the 4.2 factory image, haven't rooted yet.
I like,
The smaller icons in the dock bar
Slicker graphics / icons
The clock is cool
The notification system, left-side = notifications: right-side = quick settings.
Gmail is much improved.
Multiple user accounts is a good idea.
I dislike,
Chrome is slightly newer than the current version in the Play Store, 18.0.1025465 vs 18.0.1025464, but they made it perform worse Sunspider before 1500ms ~ now 1641 ms. It is also no smoother than before, and still is laggy on sites like The Verge.
I only got to play with mine for a few minutes during lunch but I love it minus the bounce back on the notification/quick settings pull downs. It's just odd and kind of irritating. I kept thinking it was going to close itself.
I really like the new lockscreen. The hour being bold with the minutes regular text is really nice IMO. The placement of the owner info and charging % is also nice. I think widgets are kind of meh but not complaining about anything new lol.
My battery is very bad since the update. Anyone else thinks like me?

Yeah I'm not liking the notification bounce back either.

Overall performance on the home screen and lock screen has been worse for me. I manually updated and wiped dalvik and normal cache before booting...

The new lockscreen should be awesome but it's terrible. Only 4 widgets, what gives? Should be able to use any widget I want! And no more quick access to Google now?

That's up to the app developers to makers widgets that are compatible.

Miracast
What the story with Miracast, guys? Is there a button for it in the notification settings like there is on the Optimus G?
Can't wait to get home and update my N7...

i like it a lot actually...chrome feels smoother and faster for me
Those with bad performance, I did a fresh install and its smoother than ever. I hate the smaller dock icons. Seriously, what gives?

I have to agree that the new notification bounceback behavior is really annoying.

Calendar, clock, gmail, and sound search.
I like how gmail is zoomed out all the way and then you can zoom in. Why not add this feature to the stock email app as well?

Pretty sure you're missing the Sound Search widget, it was previously only available for users in America, more people may be able to access it now but some won't be able to based on where they live.
I'm not liking the new clock, the huge bold hour makes it look lopsided, guess I have some kind of symmetrical ocd!

Req: Sense 5 Dialer for CM10.1 Based ROMs

Think it is possible?
Nope...

You could probably rewrite the entire dialer app before you'd manage to port this app successfully. It ties into tons of Sense services, so you'd basically end up with a Sense ROM by the time you were done.

Google Edition Lockscreen?

Is there anyway to get the Google Edition Lockscreen? Currently running cyanogenmod 10.2
Not sure that would be able to happen since the GE ROM is built on Sense framework.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Isn't the GE lock screen the same as the CM one?
I'm using the GE ROM now and it appears to be the stock aosp lock screen.

It is the same.

I stand corrected. Thought there was some functionality in the lock screen that was sense based.

It's just the AOSP lockscreen...

And you're right, I doubt just pulling the lockscreen apk over would work. The only thing that makes them "the same" is that they're visually the same.

Kitkat ROM question?

I have one of the CM kitkat ROM'S and it has a 4×6 app drawer. Any way to make the icons bigger and 4×5 just like the nexus 5? Thanks.
