Clearly, you need to wait for apps to be updated to KitKat before you can use certain apps. That's been the case for years now with new Android versions.

Do anyone have problem with XDA Premium on stock ICS 4.0.3?

This XDA Premium apps is getting into my nerve. It keeps on quiting the apps every time i press BACK soft-button while inside thread. I email the dev team twice n no response at all. Feels like donate rather than bought premium apps. I understand that ICS may cause apps incompatibility but this whole poor support is beyond my limit. Is it only me that facing this problem?
Note: i try to install the free version and getting the same behaviour.

They released yesterday a compatible version.
May i know what is the latest version? I didn't get any apps update.

[Q] tapatalk/xda premium app issues

Is there a thread for these two apps? Ever since they released the new UI for these 2 apps I've had nothing but force close issues on startup. It never fails. It will open and look fine but as soon as I open a thread or start to scroll down it force closes. But the strange part is I can reopen the app immediately and it works fine. It does not matter which device I use. For awhile I thought it was because I was rooted but now I have an HTC one still haven't rooted or modified it in any way and still having the exact same issue. I have been reporting this crash since the day the update came out. I'm losing more and more respect with tapatalk with each update.
If this will not be fixed any time soon what are your opinions on a good alternative app?

[Q] Has anyone tried any of the leaked Nexus 5 apps?

Wondering if anyone tried any of these on AOSP 4.3.1 roms on the s3 yet? if so are they running right?
I've been using Hangouts for about an hour. Its working fine so far with texts, I haven't sent MMS yet.
I'm fairly certain I installed the newest Google keyboard but I can't tell since everything looks the same as when I last used Google keyboard a couple months back.

ok so far I have tried and got working:
Google Play Services (Install first for some of the new apps to work)
Hangouts (MMS does work, only with data connection on)
Keep,
Google Search (but it took away my dark slim theme)
Gmail would not install. Kept saying app not installed.
Still wondering if the Camera and Gallery apps are worth trying. I can't afford to have my camera messed up right now. Taking a ton of Halloween pics.
Play Service, Search and Hangouts working on TW 4.1.2.
The cool part about the camera is it doesn't replace your camera. You can try it and uninstall if it doesn't work.

I would have rushed to install the new Hangouts app if it had supported Google Voice but since it doesn't I'm not in a rush. I'll just wait for the eventual updates through Play. Based on the 'warnings' to app developers who do VOIP etc with Google Voice I suspect that come next Spring we'll finally see Google Voice / Hangouts integration.
The app I really wanted to work was search. The current play store version is garbage. Constantly searching without results. I now use my browser exclusively. The N5 search app force closes when I press any key. Any ideas? I'm on Hyperdrive 16 with faux kernel.

MMS don't work to well on hangouts v2, I tried last night and it would send sometimes. It did take a long time to deliver when it did send.

I tried the MMS and it worked quite well. Still won't use hangout unless for video chats. Still curious about the camera and gallery. Any improvements?

If I may ask, what rom are you on? I know people had issues with Google now/search on Hyperdrive 16, as did I, but I fixed it with TiBu.

Nevermind. I ended up getting it to work. If anyone else has the issue, read the first couple comments in the OP article. Many people had it. Seems to be a language pack issue.

I've had a pretty solid day using Hangouts as my primary sms app. I've been moving too much at work to tell, but do you guys feel like Hangouts isn't vibrating or giving the notification ringtone at all? Again, just curious cuz I've heard rumblings before that Hangouts notifications aren't 100% reliable on AOSP.

Running the new launcher. Looks cool, logo's are bigger.
I followed these.
Swype to left and it's Google now. I don't see the point of a lot of screens, really digging the new layout.

Is anyone able to get the camera app to save the pictures to the sd card instead of internal memory. That is dumb if they don't let you change that.

Solved- Issues with Facebook messenger on Kit Kat?

Question: I'm rooted in Kit Kat, first OTA forced update. Facebook messenger isn't showing notifications. I saw one other person in the store complaining about it being a Kit Kat issue, but it occurred recently. Anyone else having similar issues? Done the whole nine yards- uninstalled after clearing cache and data, etc. Even did a full sweep and fixed permissions. Thoughts?

[Q] Get rid of stock voice dialer!!!!!!

I've been searching the internet off and on for a month or so, and haven't found any solutions: How to get rid of the Google voice dialer that launches when the general Bluetooth button is pushed, or replace it with Google now. You CAN'T just freeze it because it IS NOT an app, so please don't suggest it. I'm running c-rom v7.0 (android 4.4.3) I don't see ANY reason Google still is using the voice dialer, not Google now that can do so much more, I'm willing to try almost anything as I'm finding this increasingly irritating. Remember, it is NOT an app so I can't freeze it or uninstall it. The Bluetooth device is not important as I've seen the same problem for all kinds of Bluetooth's, I'm talking about the general call button found on almost all bluetooth's and some earbuds/headphones.
