If you have a newer Nexus device, or the Google Edition Galaxy S4 or HTC One, then you won’t have to wait too long for the Android 4.4 KitKat update. But it’s safe to say everyone else is in for a lengthy wait. If you’re already feeling impatient and you want a bite of that KitKat early, then you may be interested to hear you can download and install the new launcher now.

Google released its KitKat factory images for the Nexus 5 shortly after the handset was announced on Thursday, and developers got straight to work tearing them apart. Thanks to their efforts, you can now enjoy the Android 4.4 launcher and all of its improvements on older Android-powered smartphones.

Here are the links you’ll need for the downloads:

• Android 4.4 Launcher
• Google Now
• Google Play Services

Download and install these three packages onto your Android smartphone and you’ll have the Android 4.4 launcher and a number of its latest features without having to wait for the update itself. Enjoy!
