Hope they do it soon, but having it on my N7 sort of quenches the thirst for a while.

Got the new Google Now (search) update. This shit is seriously getting to information overload territory. There's no reason for it to pick up every single search and website I go to.
I searched for one rap album on Google and now I keep getting articles about rap artists. If I set the topic to no more updates, it gets permanently placed into the "everything else" section of Google Now. Fuck.
I'm going to have to disable all this frequent website and research topics shit before my Google Now settings get filled with 100s of websites I have no interest getting updates from.

... just swipe it away and it goes away?
That's crazy talk.
Go with odexed, De odexed is not working all that well with kitkat.

Any screenshots of how it interacts with TouchWiz devices? Does the launcher hide the stock status bar?

It doesn't go away. It just dismisses that single story and comes back when there are updates. Besides why would I do that when I can just disable it altogether. I get more garbage than useful info from the website updates and research topic cards.
Now this Vancouver clubbing website is going to be stuck in my Google Now settings forever.
Thank you. Finally fixed the problems.
when i swipe away my search results, they never come back

Nope. Its still in the system app and uses a lot of the android framework so won't be installable on other devices.
Downloaded this and the GEL. Those big icons are off putting.
Odexing is the process of extracting the class file and making it execute-ready for Dalvik, which speeds up app launching.
If you don't plan on doing any fancy themes or modding, get the odexed version.

GEL is pretty butt on my gs3

Not as deep as he thinks
Why do you say that? I'm using it right now and it's working just fine. In fact that's what I came to post about in this thread. Haven't noticed any issues at all so far.

It's pretty hitchy for me so far, not sure if I can take it. However, I'll give it a fair shake and try it out for a couple of days. Aviate is boring me.

I noticed that when I installed it first. I was using Nova prior to this one, so I made the Google launcher the default one, restarted my phone and haven't had any issues. Try restarting it to see if you notice a difference because I did!

What I like about GEL most is that it doesnt try and stretch smaller resolution wallpapers (and make them look low-res and zoomed in in the process) but rather crops them iOS style, without scrolling.
Except it does that to the icons.
I can't have horizontal pages i. My app drawer either. Icon size and app drawer style are deal breakers for me when it comes to GEL. Back to Nova for me.

Most apps have hi res icons so it's not that bad. I had so many wallpapers that looked good when downloaded, but simply looked bad when applied, because of the scaling on the stock launcher.
But yeah, it is a bit hard to get used to. Looks iOS-ed.

People who say there are no benefits of a 1080P mobile screen are off their rockers. The Nexus 5 screen is much sharper than the 4's 720P screen. And that's with the washed out factory color calibrations.

I talked to some people about it and they seemed unbothered by it. It's not really the kind of thing that affects anyone who is tech-savvy, I think, as they will probably want to go for a flagship anyway.
But yeah, it's a huge deal. Will be recommending it solidly to anyone who asks about cheap phones.
People don't give a shit about non-flagships meant for "dirty poors"
...I say fuck those people. I hope it does disrupt the market like the OG Nexus 7 did. I would love to see more competition and focus on the lower to mid range market for phones.

Nokia was eating their lunch with the Lumia 520 and 521, but the Moto G is going kick that guy down the cliff. It's just a fantastic phone for the price.
They won't be selling it in the eastern/northern europe, so that's a problem.

They'll sell it in Europe, but they won't launch it everywhere on the same day.
"Motorola is launching the Moto G in Brazil and parts of Europe today, with availability expected in the coming weeks for the rest of Latin America, Europe, and Canada. "
That should be enough to kill the 520.
With Google's recent design overhaul and changes, I welcome my new smartphone overlord.
It absolutely looks a lot better than it used to do, but I'm irked by the iOS 7 design.
The current list of countries they plan to sell it in:

Isn't this how it used to be (except without the bar being black)? I vastly prefer that style to their more recent navigation bar efforts.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I don't disagree. Plus it allows native 1080p playback without and scaling.
I'm just not sure if we need more than this right now though. I was a proponent of the jump from 720p to 1080p. I'm just not sure if we need 4k on phones quite yet despite that being on the near future roadmap.

I hope that battery tech is the next big thing.
Unfortunately it won't be, it's just not as marketable as 4k screens or 50mp ultrapixel cameras.... Or coloured plastic.
