All the apps seem to be working perfectly with the devices like Nexus 4, Nexus 7, Galaxy S4, HTC One and so on. If any of the apps are not working or causing any issues then don't blame us as they are officially unreleased ones.

Installation of the apps can be done in normal way as the other apps but make sure you have checked "Unknown sources" in Security Settings. Only the installation of home launcher is somewhat tricky, as it requires installation of three apps - Google Home, Google Play Services 4.0 and Google Search.

As the launcher requires Google Search(Google Now), the launcher is exclusive to only devices running Android 4.2 and above.
