I am using that right now. It doesn't pull previous messages already present. Only the ones you create after the widget is installed. Still in beta most likely.

You could try backing up your texts, wiping them, installing Widget, then restoring?

It's a limitation in the app because Google hasn't released an api so it works off notifications.

All of the Google apps use it if I'm remembering correctly, and the battery widget app seems to use it as well. Other than that, I haven't noticed anything else...

Does anyone know if this is confirmed? I got the OTA update via clearing the Google framework trick. After upgrading to 4.1 I have found that I don't get expandable notifications with emails that I receive on Gmail.
Edit: Nevermind. I got the expanded preview to work by dragging 2 fingers over the email notification.
Tunein Radio has it.

[Q] SMS & Call Log

I've upgraded from Nexus 4 to the Nexus 5 and need help exporting the call log & SMS history from my old device on 4.3 so that everything shows up in 4.4 on the Nexus 5. Any help would be appreciated

Try using this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idea.backup.smscontacts&hl=ro
Titanium backup will back them up to XML. Then you can import them on your new phone. Works like a charm.

ok, I was thinking of just using Carbon by Koush, but was concerned as I'm not sure about the location changes for the data as the phone app has been significantly changed and the messaging app is no more

[Q] Facebook photo upload does not work

I'm trying to upload pictures on facebook but am running into an issue saying "facebook upload failed". It doesnt give any indication of what the issue is, however uploading through the website from chrome works fine. Attached are screenshots of the issue. The issue happens instantaneously as soon as i hit "post"
I've tried uploading from the gallery by hitting "share" and also from the photos app as well as straight from the facebook app. I am running on ART, and while I haven't tested it on dalvik, my friend with a nexus 4 on 4.4 kitkat on ART is uploading facebook photos just fine on the latest version of the facebook app.
Before anyone suggests it, I've tried:
-reinstalling the facebook app
-clearing data/cache from the facebook app
-re-adding my account
-tried uploading pictures from camera, pictures downloaded from the internet, and screenshots
-restoring the whole system (tried it before and after unlocking bootloader which wiped out everything)
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
I am having the EXACT same issue on my Moto X, stock, running 4.4 on ART. It's maddening.
I've done everything you've done and more. I've tried the beta and the alpha apks and nothing. This is driving me nuts, but I'm glad I'm not alone. Will be subscribing to this thread and will update if I find a fix.

Having the same issue with a different Facebook app called tinfoil. So maybe it's KitKat related?

Mine worked fine on ART for days. I'm going to switch back and see what's up now. If it works, I bet it goes bad after a couple days again. I actually sent a bug report to FB. We'll see of they follow up.

Seems that the Newest Facebook App update (4.0.0.3.3) has broken the ability to upload photos while on ART Runtime. I switched back to Dalvik to confirm and was able to upload photos. I am going back to version 3.9 (if i can find the apk) where photo uploads still work while on ART

Make sure you disable auto-update first
They will update it the second you push the apk.

[Q] SMS AOSP App?

So... I just got the Nexus 5 a couple of days ago. I love the phone.
But... I really do not like Hangouts. I use WhatsApp, and sometimes SMS. But I do not like Hangouts for SMS. Is there a way to install the SMS app from the Nexus 4? Like a AOSP version? If so... where can I find the app?
Thanks.
I use 8sms. It looks like the AOSP SMS app but adds a couple nice features, like the option for a popup when you receive a SMS. I set it as default messaging app and it works perfectly.

I built Mms.apk from aosp 4.4.2 today because I don't want to use Hangouts. I don't have carrier service so I'm not sure it will even work properly. If someone could test it that would be very cool. And maybe you'll get the app you're looking for.

Here's the MMS.apk from Purity Rom, it has more options like full timestamps and quick reply.
I think 8Sms is a better idea than using the messaging app compiled from source, because 8sms is the same thing, but constant bug fixes that are released through Google Play...which I find better.
works in nexus 5 kk 4.4.4

it doesn't text wrap or run smoothly like it used to, and has massive errors at the top of the screen when using full screen mode.
it's forced into a different mode because of kitkat's forced chromium mode.. it's a real pale shade of what it was pre kitkat
It's a bit jumpy animation wise. But I'm not bothered as its a quarter of the size on ART of Chrome

Thanks for the best version of the ASOP browser I've run yet! All the other ones had problems of one sort or another, some minor, some major, including the one that comes with an installer and is available in the play store. Your freshly compiled version is working great on my N5 and my N10 (both running stock, rooted 4.2.2), and I'll check tonight to see if it also runs on my Galaxy Nexus (which is a desk clock & remote control these days, but is still running JB, not KK).
It's the fastest version I've tried, syncs bookmarks perfectly, keeps my history as it should, doesn't require me to delete/rename the "BrowserProviderProxy" files, allows me to change the default user agent (which is REALLY necessary on the N10), and just works.
:highfive:
One tiny thing you might want to "fix" if you compile it again, is the missing "Find On Page..." menu item. It's the item located between the "Share Page" menu item and the "Request desktop site" menu item. Apparently the "Find On Page..." menu item resource is actually not located in the Browser.apk, and once resided somewhere else in the System of older versions of Android. At some point (maybe when Chrome became the default Nexus browser and Google stopped including the standard Browser), this resource was removed from the System, but was never added to the ASOP Browser, and so in recent versions of Android a "random" string shows up in the menu instead of "Find On Page...". On my N5 and N10 it's "System", but I think it depends on what Android version is running. Totally cosmetic; the menu item does what it's supposed to, regardless of what it says.
bradputt: Yes, just push them to /system/app/
I did
adb devices
adb remount
adb push Browser.apk /system/etc/
adb push BookMarkSync.apk /system/etc/
the adb reboot
still no browser, so I push them to system/app with root exp and set permissions, reboot. Now the browser show up, but when I open it, it say automatic Google signin then just close. Try to reopen it...it just close.
Install the one I linked from the play store. Then update with these ones by just installing normally and it overwrite/updates it
