Did you install GEL in /system/app ? If so it is likely looking for a library located in the apk but can't find it. You would need to extract the lib*.so file from the apk and put it in /system/lib.

If you are unsure of what i am talking about or how to do this, I can make a flashable zip for you. I would need a link to where you got the apk.

I would love you to do that and it doesn't matter just use any Google.home apk

Well, I grabbed an apk from Android Police and there are no libs included with the apk. Without digging further, the simple thing I thought would work will not. If you really want this launcher, grab a logcat while the launcher crashes and I will have a look. Alternatively, I noticed there are several Kit Kat launchers available on the Play store.

it might be the same error the one SV has, The stock rom is missing a layout element that the launcher needs to run. Good suggestion SuperR a logcat is much needed in this sort of situation, without that its like running through a cornfield at night.

How do I get the logcat

How do I get the logcat

Download alogcat.apk from playstore

How do I get the logcat

Connect phone to pc via usb cable and make sure usb debugging is enabled. Open up a terminal on your pc, cd to your adb directory, enter the following:

adb shell logcat > /sdcard/GEL_logcat.txt

post link to GEL_logcat.txt from your sdcard here. Or you could use pastebin to paste the contents.

edit: it might be slighltly different in windows. maybe "adb.exe shell logcat" instead?

Do you have adb installed on your pc and usb debugging enabled on your device? It won't work if you don't.

Sadly I am not going to be much help with windows adb troubleshooting. You could grab my warp2 cwm & root flasher and use the linux terminal to accomplish what you need, or maybe someone else could chime in on windows support.

I hate to ask you but could maybe you make the flashable? and dev it for me?

There is no flashable to be made since I don't know why it doesn't work yet. The adb command I provided will possibly shed some light on it and only then can we consider making a flashable.
