Droid Life is posting the new google apps that came from a nexus 5 which is, as you know, running android 4.4 . I can confirm the new google launcher works after installing google search and google play. Im pretty sure most others should work fine on the X. Post if working or if not!:good:

So I have installed all of the leaked apps. The only one that did not work is the clock. I've cleared the data on the app but it didn't make a difference. In in the Verizon Moto X. Only other problem is email app is missing the exchange option for me.
Anyone else try these? Any workaround for the clock?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk 4
You need to be rooted and uninstall the clock app and reinstall the leaked apk from what I've read. Android police had a write up on it.

I'm rooted, followed the directions, still couldn't get it to work. No biggie...the clock isn't all that different.
Wish we had the dialer!
Can you install the new launcher without being rooted? Or is that required for all of these leaked apps? Looked like it just said side load them...
I had trouble sending mms with the new hangouts. I'm stock non rooted newest ota

I installed everything without root. An article I saw said to install the playstore, then search, then the launcher.

Yes, you can install new launcher without being rooted. No, you can not install that new clock without root.
Basically you can install everything but clock

wierd does the new email not do exchange?
dont install the new google now if you like your voice activation i get crashes all the time now
Thanks Derek ross for the solution
Long press the home screen, select Settings. Select Voice. Select Language to change the default. Change to another language, I choose English – UK. Hit Home. Do a Google Search. Repeat the first three steps. Change back to English – US.
also update your language pack in the settings as well.
Is the new dialer included in any of these yet?

No option for exchange in the email app means its no use to me, yet.
That sucks that the new launcher broke Ok google now stuff. I havent had a chance to install it the correct way as per that post but thanks.

What do I need to enable to stop the 4.2 update constantly asking me to upgrade now or later? Usually you can just have the option to skip it no?
I know my phone won't ask unless I search under software updates.
This one pops up on the constant and happy with 4.1.2. Not feeling the terrible reviews on 4.2 so just want to skip it for now or till a more stable one comes out.
appreciate any help.

[INFO] Stop OTA update nagging
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
The suggestions in the reply above are the best but they all require a rooted Nexus. Until you root your tablet try on Google Services Framework in Settings - Apps - All column:
1. Disable Notifications - fewer update reminders.
2. Clear Data - forgets an update is ready but may just re-download one.
3. Disable GSF - stops reminders but breaks Google Play Store and others.
I use number 3 as JB 4.1.2 works perfectly.
I have got similar prob but I am on 4.2. hoping this will work.

You can long press the notification and go to app info and uncheck the show notification box as well.

Well I don't think it does use stock dialer at all. Stock dialer uses verizons ish. Groove has its own operations and google voice to call and text just uses voice. I'm pretty sure u can take out the dialer and just use groove and voice

Also thought I should share my nifty sms app I have been using.
It's called ninja sms and I got it for 1$ at the play store and I love it. Should check it out of you text quite a bit and don't want to continuously change between apps. It allows the sms to come up on the screen. Kind of like multi boxing on the s3
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
My lcuid 2 has that ability where the text will pop up and allow me to respond, delete or view without leaving the app. It is a super awesome feature.
Yeah I wish my dna had it stock but ninja sms is good for me.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Does ninja have a character count? My pop-up has a character limit, if I go into the native messaging app I can type as much as I want and it will break it into multiple messages, the pop up only allows for a single message response. I haven't decided if I like that or not. I guess it really depends on I can use that to tweet.
When I text I can send more than 120 characters and on my screen it only sends as one message. You could try it out and always refund if you don't like it.

Yeah just took a look at it and sent a large message and it sent as one huge message and didn't split into different messages. You can view a text that is more than 160 characters as long as it was sent as one big message. I don't believe it has a limit. As far as I can tell it doesn't split it up.

So I really like the way ubuntu looks. Since my dna is locked and I have no access to unlock or root the phone via software method all I can do is jtag, however I'm not going to do that so I can't flash anything. Since I love the way ubuntu looks I decided to theme my phone after it using a launcher and a ton of custom widgets. Here is what I came up with.

I guess some of you noticed that google just updated Google Talk to replace it with Hangouts. A nice WhatsApp Clone with some beautiful features. I guess cross platform chat (Phone <> PC) is the most interesting part.
If you are an owner of an One which has Google Talk preinstalled as bloatware there is no chance to update this via Google Play unless HTC delivers an update. Too bad we're not able to uninstall bloatware / preinstalled stuff on non rooted devices...
But if you open the Play Store via browser on your computer to instruct it to install Hangouts on your phone, it will overwrite the Google Talk and you're able to use the new Hangouts app

That's what I did myself I wondered why it wouldn't update
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium HD app
I really wish they integrated it with sms/mms app like Facebook Messaging can do... or just made it like iMessage. But I'm happy for the upgrade.
It might not be showing up for folks because it is probably still replicating across the Play servers.
UI Layour is quite nice, hope it gets popular, but i really wanted that it could send sms , like imessage , or sms atleast so i can use that app for all.

I just got the phone today , it wouldnt let me install from Play store on the phone , it just gives me an option to open.
i went to play store on my pc and was able to install it from there on my phone and it replaced my talk app and it seems to work fine.
I opened a thread like this, Hangouts, with how to install and other stuff.
I saw this thread after.
Sorry
What I did was uninstall Google talk with titanium backup and then just install hangouts from the store later

Already Installed Issue on Hangout..
Hi, i am from India and I am having an issue about installation of Hangout, The same issue occurs to my colleague also.
In Google Play it says already installed and no update option displayed but when i open it is the same GTalk UI and same icon.
Not able to update from Google Play ( WEB / Android Device). i am using Stock LG NEXUS 4.
HI i have install google wallet yesterday and its working fine.
1. Download the apk file and just install normal.
2. before launching the app go to google wallet settings and change your home address to a random US Address (You don't need to change everything just the city and the Zipcode and select US as the country .
3. launch the app after the setting it works fine.
4. then you can setup tap& pay .
5. go back to google setting and change your original address.
Download Link
http://www.filedropper.com/comgoogleandroidappswalletnfc_1
it works fine .
Thank you very much.
Have you actually successfully paid for anything yet?
would love to see if this is actually possible.
anybody know WHY google wallet isn't officially available (tap and pay form, not online) outside of the US??
There's no point. All of your payments will simply be declined.
are there any tap and pay apps that work in the uk??

Not working on my nexus 5. After download it says cannot open file.
I had this installed and running in Canada for a while now. IO used it the other day for the first time at McDonalds and the payment was declined. The error I got was about it not supporting international transactions.
After I flashed a stock rom it appeared on my aussie n5. Noticed it while I was going through my apps on titanium backup and it was frozen. Just unfrozen it and it opens and all but since I'm outside us, it's useless.

Hangouts replaced GTalk, you could search for an older .apk however it'd bug you to update it all the time, and probably isn't supported anymore.
To be honest, hangouts is pretty decent once you get used to it.
Actually i tried it a lot on my ONE, but i the more i tired, more i hate it ...
I got apk files for gtalk... But most of them are not working....
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Google probably killed all support for GTalk now, you;ll have to adapt to Hangouts, or alternatively find a new app with Voice support. WhatsApp can support voice, but not for calling :/ - There's always Skype! not sure if LiNE support Voice though(?)

Yeah no more support after 4.2, won't work unless you can hack the app etc but even then, the services revert to Hangouts since GTalk ceases to exist now. - You have to cut your losses I'm afraid man
