Android 4.4 launcher could include Google Experience ... - The Android Free

If the dates are rumored are true, there is very little for Android 4.4 and the Nexus 5 , but in the meantime do not stop rumors and supposed leaks and new features of Android KitKat appear with dropper. This time, from AndroidPolice suggest that the new version could bring a new launcher called Google Experience and perhaps reach Google Play to be able to install it on other devices, such as has happened so far with other applications such as Calendar or Google keyboard, but first things first.

These two words have been found in various system logs filtered. As shown in the screenshot below, it is a confirmation popup to create a widget on a desk and asks if you give him access to Google Experience , the assumption launcher. In addition, log files filtered by MYCE found many references to a package called com.google.android.gel and whose files are located on Route / system / app / GoogleHome . apk. If you look, the acronym GEL may correspond perfectly to Google Experience Launcher.

course, all this is speculation , since there is nothing official yet, but knowing these new rumors the first thing that comes to mind is that Google could separate launcher Google Experience to offer through Google Play and everyone can access it and install it for a Pure Android experience, without the need Android 4.4. And actually this may be what happens, because there are clues.

Specifically, the package stock Android 4.3 launcher is named com.android.launcher , whereas the seepage of 4.4 is com.google.android.gel . Now, if we look at any Google at Play see that all begin with “com.google.android” . And there’s more, since reviewing the Google Apps system is separated to go to Play, and Calendar, the keyboard, Gmail, etc.. all changed the package name “com. android “to” com.google.android “.

does the Dialer , in MYCE records, it looks like the package has changed com.android.dialer to com.google . android.dialer . In addition there is also a new package for the House called com.google.android.GoogleCamera , which until now was part of the package of the Gallery. As we see, places to speculate, may see all these separate applications of the system and put into Google Play available to any user. Maybe is this what Google refers to the phrase
“Android experience avaiable for everybody” KitKat ad.

AP

collaborator, Liam Spradin, digitally recreated how could this launcher. The following images make us have an idea of ??its look and new functions by combining information sources with that has already been filtered before.

Among the features of this launcher Google Experience, repeated are not official , we find that the notifications and menu bars would now be transparent but only when we are on the desktop. When opening the applications would classic black. The search button and Google Now would be integrated with the launcher , including an option to add quick reminders.

number of desktops would 5 to infinite. The right desk would always be empty, so suffice it drag any item to create a new one. The space of folders also increase, from about 16 shortcuts that now allow infinite, having to scroll to browse them.

As seen

leaks TuttoAndroid in the menu to create Widgets from the Drawer disappear, having to resort to long press on the desktop to add Widgets application. There would also be some design changes icons in the lockscreen and many more details that come in the final version.

This information is being formed by rumors , although in AP say that the source is trusted, but there could be many changes, both as functions of element names to date the presentation that will hopefully be soon.
