(Hot) Download link for android 4.4 apps: includes camera, launcher, google now etc

Apps from latest google android version 4.4.
Includes camera, google now, launcher, hangout
and many more
MOD Edit: Links removed
pls click thanks button :good:

Just tried all these, the launcher, Google now, and Hangouts work.
Touchless control still works with the new version of Now.
Hangouts seems a little slow to send SMS, but that might be my specific conversation list, as they are all huge amounts of messages. Emoji are present in Hangouts and send fine.
Launcher runs incredibly smooth and flawlessly.
I don't see a difference between the stock gallery app on my moto x and the new one. Camera works, but the buttons are stretched off the screen and selecting photosphere crashes the app.

OK, now use Google now. Force close.

Camera controls not visible properly. Google now works but when i try to search anything it will force close. Hangouts is slow. Launcher works great

Change to a different language, do a search, then change back

Ok this fixed the issue
Google Search Force Close fix:
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

Great Google now fix.
Question: has anyone figured out how to add more screens to the launcher? I'm at a loss. The intro screen makes it seem like you can.

Try to add another widget or icon, when you do move it to the right edge of the screen, another page will then appear.

Updated and Google Now and most of my apps won't work. I think its an issue with Play services.

MMS Works fine, however take note if youre connected to WIFI, and someone sends you a mms, oryou try to send a mms to someone in hangsouts they will fail UNTIL you disconnect from wifi

I don't use WiFi. Maybe its a VZW limitation. I saw someone else on Verizon say that MMS wasn't working.

Probably not, it was designed specifically for the Nexus 5 so something like that makes sense to be off. Why would you want to replace your Moto X camera with the N5 one anyway? you would lose specific Moto X features.

Google Android 4.4 apk's

http://goo.gl/Rwk5FO
http://goo.gl/Zfz7mb
(note: velvet.apk is google search, latinimegoogle.apk is keyboard)
These are all taken from the following two URLs:
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/10/3...om-the-nexus-5-dump-search-launcher-and-more/
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...4-4-with-gmail-style-ui-and-a-slide-out-menu/
All of them work for me on CM10.2 11/1 nightly except
-- to get exchange email working disable the old *exchange* under apps before seeing up the new email app.
-- Photosphere also crashes if you try to use it, and my camera FC'd after taking a picture. The new Gallery works great though.
-- Deskclock will not install
-- Voice search (using Google Now) will crash before it brings up a response unless you >> Hold down on homescreen, select settings, select Voice, change the voice (to English - UK for example). (update - better fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46994076#post46994076)
To get Google Home working
To install the new launcher (Google Home), you’ll have to install 3 different apps – Google Play Services 4.0, Google Search, and the Google Home .apk. (Cheers to Phandroid for figuring that out.)

The desk clock works if you disable the current one and then you load the new one as a system app
Edit: it crashes when you set an alarm though

I am not able to the the "Ok Google" to work either. I can go into Google Now and click on the mic and say what I want and that works. Any suggestions?
Update: Got it working now with the OP fix link.
One question though is I thought you would be able to say, "OK Google" from home screen and it will start to do a search. Do I need the 4.4 home screen for this to work?

Most of the big ROM teams are working on 4.4 base now, CM, Slim, probably Paranoid Android etc. It shouldn't be long.

I looked on someone's stock gs3 and they have an app called photos, actually Google photos when you open it but it looks way different than g+photos. I tried to get the app from playstore but it doesn't show up.

So if i have the one from last week that was force closing and i already updated today from Google Play, am i updated to the version that doesn't force close? Or should i uninstall the 4 apks from the last week and just install from Google Play?

Yeah, I've been using Open Mic +. It's pretty good and no need to use a different launcher. You can also customize it instead of saying "Ok Google." I just changed my activation word to "Google" and it automatically opens up Google Search and listens to what you want to say. Pretty convenient. You can turn it off and on. Just google it. I believe it's also in the play store.

Very minimal if any drain. I'm actually using the 2.4 version. 3.5 is the latest, and I'm not sure how good that one is, but I've had no issues with mine. Also, people complaining about slow start up time isn't true. The 3-5 seconds it takes is only when you first start the app. After that, every time you say your hotword, it opens up quite fast and ready to listen. That's for 2.4 at least. I'm sure 3.5 has to be better.

[Q] AT&T Messaging app

AT&T Messaging app in play store says it is not compatible with LG G3
I used to have this app in LG G which i replaced recently to G3.
I am ok with the stock messaging app, but it doesn't have a widget that would show me the unread messages count on home screen.
Any recommendation on how to install AT&T messaging app on the G3 or any other equivalent app with widget support?
Thanks

Do you still have your old phone? If so you can upload the apk to Dropbox and download it from there. Or save the apk to an SD card, etc. Also try a search for the apk online and try sideloading it. If you use Nova launcher you can install tesla unread plug in and it will show the modification count badge directly on the icon.
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.

Thank you, I will try it

[Q] aosp messaging app

I got tired of confusion and sensless updates of hangouts. I have Nexus 5 stock with Xposed rooted. All I need is the old sms aosp app that would allow me to send/receive sms/mms and have the option to make text bigger because I have eye problems with small fonts. I installed this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.slvn.mms&hl=en from google play but it does not have the option to make text bigger.
Where can I find the apk or the app itself?
thanks a lot.

You can pull it from any AOSP ROM.
