Tried it on my s4 for a few minutes earlier, I like the fact that swiping left was Google Now, but I couldn't figure out how to add more screens. Then again I wasn't really exploring or anything, got my head in a textbook for the next few hours

Watch the bottom vid for adding screens. After you ditch the textbooks that is!

Yeah I never would've figured that out feature out without some help. It's smart, but they really should have a tutorial for that sorta thing -_-

I'm gonna load it back up later and see if I like it. Really did love how easy it was to get to Google Now instead of tapping my home button twice.

Grabbed this post for ya. Should help:

OK so what I did was backup up a nandroid..

Downloaded the Google play services, Google keep, calender and Google search.
Installed all 3 apk 's. Went into Google search, changed language to anything but English, then back to English and downloaded the update.

All work fine. Google now is ridiculously fast.
You need the Google play services for keep and voice to run.
I'm not interested in the Google home launcher as I use Nova.
Good luck!
