Google Now Launcher on Motorola Moto G!

Google Nexus 5

Nexus 5 has always been an Android geek's dream. At the time of launch, we saw that the home screen of the Nexus 5 was a bit different. But it's unique as no other device got that home screen. Few weeks back, Google launched an app called "Google Now Launcher" but it disappointed us as it supported only Nexus & Google Play Edition devices.

This post can also be used for Moto E and Moto X devices.

Features:

Enlarged icons.
Semi-transparent app drawer background.(Android 4.4+).
Voice command.- just say "OK Google" at the home screen and it responds.
Intuitive widget & wallpaper picker.
