'On Thursday, Nokia introduced the Android powered Z launcher. By writing out letters on the screen instead of typing on a keyboard, you get a list of apps and contacts that is dependent on where you are and what you are doing. On the top of the launcher is a clock and calendar and the usual Android dock is at bottom. In between is the list of apps, contacts and websites that appear after you draw a letter on the screen, using your finger. Brook Eaton, the lead product manager of Nokia's emerging platforms group, said that the company saw a problem that people were having keeping organized, as more and more apps are downloaded and installed by device users. Instead of putting these apps in folders, Nokia decided to use the home screen for better organization.

Working beautifully on my GS4 despite being rooted, very fast and simple. Some say its not allowing them to use it due to Root.

they must have closed downloads for this, following the instructions doesn't take you to a working download link... * +

The website is a bit weird, it took me numerous tries to at 1st get to the download page, once there the download button was not clickable, I tried over and over again at 1st with the S4's built-in browser, then with Chrome and eventually with Dolphin, which made it clickable, then I had to click numerous times and eventually it began to download, but the downloads are limited, so if the Download doesn't show no matter what you try then I guess they've reached the limit. * +

Btw, I used this launcher for about 2hours and got over it, nice concept, but it just felt so limited, it doesn't have multiple homescreens, just 1, you can't customise the 5 shortcuts at the bottom, and it doesn't allow widget customisation. It got a bit annoying for me, went back to my TW launcher that I am so used to. Z Launcher will have its crowd though, especially for those who love gestures and don't use more than 10 apps and Contacts a day. * +
