Install Android M's awesome app drawer on any device you please

Among the many improvements in Android M is a revamped app drawer that sorts apps alphabetically, keeps a convenient Favorites list dynamically updated, changes horizontal scrolling to vertical, and looks great in white! There's a very easy way for those who want it to get it, and you don't have to root, or buy a Nexus phone and go through the hoops of installing the Android M Developer preview... though if that's what you want to do, there's nothing stopping you from going medieval with a Nexus and adb prompt!

Still, those who'd rather get the goods the easy and straightforward way only need to install the Google Now launcher, sideload an .apk file, and they'll be good to go. Here, we'll show you all that it takes!

Our new coffee table book, Iconic Phones, is a stunning visual tribute to the legends in the world of phones, featuring exclusive high-resolution photography, stories, quotes and fun trivia. Pre-order now and save 15% with code: PARENA15
