Towards the end of January, Motorola released their updated Gallery app for the Moto X and other DROIDs on the Play Store with a completely new UI and new features.Since the Moto X itself runs a flavour of Android that is very close to stock, it was just a matter of time before someone ported Motorola’s Gallery to the Nexus 5 and other such popular devices.

Now, XDA senior member, Rohit02, has done all the hard work of porting the Gallery app to the Nexus 5 and has released a flashable ZIP file for it. Motorola’s Gallery app makes use of the new Immersive mode introduced by Google in Android 4.4 KitKat and also includes a few nifty features including a ‘Timeline’ mode for pictures.

Installing the Gallery app is pretty simple, provided you have root access on your Nexus 5 with CWM or TWRP recovery installed. Simply download this flashable ZIP file on your phone and flash it via TWRP or CWM recovery.
