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

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.

Yep, but it is there don't worry. It launches when you start Google Talk
For me Talk was completely replaced after I started the remote Installation.

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

I just logged into google play on my PC and installed it on my phone and talk was replaced by hangouts. I am stock not rooted.
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.
Now that root is achieved, many will freeze or remove stock VZW apps. Are there any resources on which apps are safe to freeze? This may have been asked elsewhere, but this is likely to be a recurring question and a thread in Q&A could be useful. Any information would be appreciated.

That is interesting information, but I don't believe that article specifies what is safe to remove (just what the consider removing). Also, the ATT framework may not behave exactly as the VZW might, which is my specific question.
Edit: consider using titanium backup and freeze as an alternative to uninstalling entirely. Should give you the option to restore if needed.

Just use boot browesr or something similar and go to /system/app and rename the bloat. Change myverizon.apk to myverizon.bak for example. That way it it cause issues you can just change it back.

There should be a list somewhere of all this pre-loaded bull**** so you can remove it without missing any.
Without root you can't install WA+.
Disabling WA ist maybe possible, but anyhow, you can't install WA+!
It's so unbelievable from Samsung.
I've written Samsung and complained about this. Also on Facebook. Public is always more effective. Maybe if more complaints come, possibly something happens
Facebook App ist also a System App and can't removed, or no old version can't be used.

Not sure what would actually be effective. People have complained about pre-installed apps on Android for, what, five years now? It's never done any good, and the hundreds of millions of additional Android users since back then clearly haven't made the complaints any more effective, either. The option of rooting is there, for people who want to completely have them removed from storage. Otherwise, disabling the apps gets rid of the icons and takes care of any performance hit. The actual size they take up is less than one half of 1% of device storage, so they're really not a big deal. It's just the psychological effect of knowing they're there. I've just learned to ignore it.
After coming from the Nexus 5 with its lack of expandable storage, I learned pretty quick that a couple megs for a stock app make a poor target for blame when I'm angry because I've got nowhere to put a 500+mb game I bought.
-Edit: On the other hand, when a preinstalled app makes it impossible to install another version of the same app from the store, it might go further to train yourself to treat that sort of thing like a bug. Report it to their technical support and act incredulous that they'd let such broken behavior into a production release. ;P
I just uograded from a Huawei Mate 7 and it had the option to protect individual apps via fingerprint. Is there any way to lock app with fingerprints on the nexus 6p. Like a app in google play. I know there are some aps for galaxy devices but I haven't seen anything that will work on the nexus?

There is an app called fingersecurity that should work. Would be nice if marshmallow had a native lock app.
This app only works for samsung devices apparently. Hopefully something comes out soon. I have some people in my life that love to change my facebook status....

Yes, that is obvious. However, like many people, I sometimes show someone something on my phone so I give it to them.
If FS won't work just use applock until a fingerprint app comes out. That's what I did before FS.

In this case I would think that app pinning would work. You can set it so that it requires a password/finger print to disable. Pin the app you want to show somebody, and they will only be able to access that specific app until you disable pinning with your fingerprint.
I've been looking for an individual app locker using Nexus Imprint too. FingerSecure is Samsung only atm. Hopefully developers will soon begin utilizing the fingerprint apis in Marshmallow.

Thanks that's a good app but its not exactly what I'm looking for. Keepsafe is a single app that only stores pictures and videos with a password. I'm looking for an app that can fingerprint protect (instead of just password protect) other apps on the 6P. (Layer over another app). A good example is AppLocker or BioProtect on a jailbroken IOS device, or the fingerprint app locking software Hauwei includes on their flagship phones or even some of the few fingerprint Applockers out there for newer Samsung devices like the s5+ and note 4+.

Thank you so much man!!! I love this app. Works flawlessly so far. This is exactly what we've all been waiting for on the 6P. Thank you so much!! Huge props to the developers for this awesome app!
Please note, however, that MaxLock requires you to root your phone, install a custom recovery and side-load the Xposed framework. It isn't able to utilize fingerprint unlocking on the stock Nexus 6P.

It is enabled by default. All you need to do is enable a pin/pattern lock the settings. Then when you try to unlock an app with the pin/pattern you previously set you will be able to use Imprint to unlock the app. The Imprint icon automatically appears. In the pictures below the Imprint Icon automatically appears next to the zero when I have the pin lock option set. Hope this helps.
Anyone found a version of myknox that works on the S8? I can do secure folders, and I see that knox is installed, but I can't create a myknox workspace... Boo...

That is an MDM (Mobile Device Management). It is for enterprises not for consumers.

Correct. MyKnox was knox for regular users to enjoy the secure secondary workspace using the knox security platform. Secure folder is just the next version of myknox, incorporating all the suggestions they received to make it less complicated, a bit faster, and more seamless for regular users. Most users were not using the full launcher setup in myknox, but the folder mode. There is no difference in the encrypted volume afaik. If you like the older two phones style, you can just sideload myknox. Not sure if it still works, but on the S7 you could install both, and have a total of 3 environments.
Try this,

First install Knox.apk, next install KnoxManager.apk

It's not a 30 trial.
The user version is free.
The enterprise version is what costs. Knox allows companies to even do things like DEP (Apple term) for all their devices to force device management on them. You can even push custom Samsung made firmware on KME enabled devices. Quite powerful stuff. Knox takes advantage of the hardware encryption on the device and encrypts all data at rest, in memory and in CPU. It's quite powerful.
Oh, and any MDM (mobile device management) system that pushes commands on the device, uses Knox APIs for most of the features. There are only a few basic Google APIs used for MDM. Rest are customized by Samsung - they are one of the very few, if not the only OEM that puts a TON of effort into adding APIs for MDMs to add new features.
