How to Install the New Google Home Launcher on Most Android Devices

I. Before You Begin

1. Allow your phone to install non-market apps by going to Settings > Security and tap ON Unknown Sources (may vary where this setting is but it’s somewhere in your Settings).

 

II. Download the Required Apps

1. Head to this current procedure on your phone (if you are on a Desktop right now) and click the download link for the new PrebuiltGMSCore apk (Google Play Services),  the Velvet apk (Google Now), the Google Home apk, and save them all to your device.

2. Once they all downloaded, pull down the notification bar and tap the download complete confirmation on the PreBuiltGMSCore apk file.

3. Click Install then click Done (not Open).

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the other two apk files (install Google Home last) that should still be in your notification shade until all three are installed.

5. Open Google Home after it installs by clicking Open at the bottom right and choose “Launcher” and hit Always when prompted to set it as your default launcher.

6.Enjoy! (You can always uninstall these by going to Settings > Application manager  > Uninstall each one from there).
