The new Android 4.4 KitKat comes with a new launcher called Google Experience Launcher. This new launcher has few UI changes from the earlier version and new features like Google Now, which is an integral part of the launcher. Currently, Android 4.4 KitKat is available only on Nexus 5, but you can implement its launcher on any Android phone running Jelly Bean OS.
The Android 4.4 KitKat Launcher, which is extracted from Nexus 5 works on, phones running Android Jelly Bean 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3, however, Google Now tends to force close on some devices.
