Since its release, the Google Now Launcher has only officially worked with Nexus and Google Play Edition devices. It’s not difficult to sideload the app to work on many other devices, but if you wanted it through the Play Store, you had to own one of Google’s “compatible” devices. With the latest update to the launcher, though, it seems like Google is opening up the application to many more devices.
While the Play Store listing doesn’t say it supports any new models, it has reportedly been showing up for several new devices, including devices like the HTC One M8, LG’s G3, the Verizon variant of the Galaxy S 5, and several others. It’s hard to tell if this is a glitch on Google’s end since it seems pretty intermittent, but there’s a solid chance the launcher will finally be available to wide selection of devices instead of just a handful.
While we wait for any new information, hit the link below to see if you can download the app on your device. It’s not working on my AT&T Galaxy S 5, but maybe some of you will have better luck.
