Download the new Google Nexus launcher APK here

That didn't take long. The new Google Nexus launcher APK is now available for download. I've installed it and it's the real deal, complete with the new slide-up app drawer and Google 'button' for quick search and access to Google Now.

Simply enable Unknown Sources in your Security settings, install the APK, hit home and choose Nexus Launcher. When you long press there's a settings menu that includes a 'Show Google app when swiping left' option as well as options for screen rotation and app suggestions at the top of the app drawer.

There's a new widget picker too but the rumored Calendar shortcut when tapping the date up top isn't working for me. Others have noted force closes when trying to select a new wallpaper, but flashing the zip via TWRP seems to fix that problem.

The APK comes courtesy of Antonio Luciano on Google+. If you don't want to install a non-Google Play app, you can always use the Nova Launcher approach we shared earlier for a very similar experience. Make sure to grab the 2016 Nexus wallpapers too.

Do you like the new Nexus Launcher? Better or worse than the current approach?
