Once a new device got released, developers start to port its featured apps and make them available to download and install on the other phones so you can get a feeling of the latest goodies. If you are a Samsung fan you can now download the Galaxy Note 8 home launcher and install it on other Samsung devices.
The only requirement to get the Galaxy S8 launcher and its apps is the Android version of your phone. To install the Galaxy Note 8 apps and launcher, your phone should be running on Android 7.0 TouchWiz Nougat and higher.
If you have updated your phone recently you may have got the Nougat update. However, to make sure if it will work, go to Settings > About Phone and check the Android version. If it’s 7.0 or higher you’re good to go and download the Galaxy Note 8 Launcher and Apps as apk files or a single zip file to flash via recovery.
Thanks to AlexisXDA you can now install the Galaxy Note 8 home launcher apk on any Samsung Galaxy device. There are two ways to install it either flashing the file via recovery which will also update the other apps or extract the zip file and install the Galaxy Note 8 launcher apk. If you decide to extract the file you will notice that the developer has ported also the other stock apps of the Galaxy Note 8.
These are ported directly from the system dump of the Note 8 and are its official apps. They aren’t quite different from Galaxy S8. Of course, that are some new features and improvements because this phablet comes with Android 7.1 instead of Android 7.0.
So no matter what Samsung device do you have, as long as it is running on Android Nougat you can download and install the Galaxy Note 8 Launcher and system apps. Below is everything you should do to get them. Just make sure to follow everything carefully.
