The folks at XDA-Developers Forum know that Android fans can’t wait any longer to feast on Google’s latest OS release, so XDA user geoworld_200 has extracted the launcher from Android 4.4 and posted it for anyone to download . Stripped from the Nexus 5, the launcher brings the home screen and app drawer from KitKat to devices running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and up. You can even use touchless search from the home screen by saying “Ok, Google Now.” Here’s how to get your device skinned with the brand new KitKat look and feel.

2. Download the 25MB launcher package. It’s a Zip file, so you’ll have to extract the three APKs on your computer and copy them to your device. You can also download the package on your phone and extract the APKs using third-party apps such as Unzip.
