Updated: 7th November 2013
Nexus 5 has been a sensation in the markets due to its new catchy and responsive UI.
Nexus 5 has a great demand in the markets and it should be too for such a phone with such good features and specs.
All Android admirers would like to possess one but for those who can't and want the Nexus 5 interface on their devices and enjoy it so here are some simple steps to follow to  get the Nexus 5 interface on any of your android phone may it be a small device or a high ranged model the Nexus 5 launcher supports all devices.


Features introduced:
1. Google Home (Nexus 5 Launcher)
2.Velvet (Google Search)

Limitations :

1. Hangouts is now your native messaging app so some devices may not support it or it may take time for registration so the alternative messaging app I suggest would be Chomp SMS(Free Play Store Link)

OR

Go to Google folder select contacts and go the the contact and select message and your native messaging app.
(FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE ONLY IF HANGOUTS DOES'NT  RESPOND)


2. The Nexus lockscreen isnt out yet so you would be guided to your stock lockscreen for the same.
