In this video, I'll be showing you two methods for installing a leaked copy of Google's brand new Nexus Launcher (now called Pixel Launcher). The first method works without root, and the second method uses a custom recovery.
This launcher is rumored to be released with the upcoming Nexus devices, but even though it's supposed to be a Nexus-exclusive home screen app when it's released, you can install it right now on many other devices.
You won't be able to get the integrated Google Now page on your home screen if you use the non-root method, but almost everything else works. With the flashable ZIP method, however, you'll be able to choose from a bunch of new wallpapers in addition to the functional Google Now page.
