Hey. Got my Nexus 4 running 4.4 yay.! I thought there was supposed to be a new messenger app. I still have the standard Android messenger and it works fine as best I can tell. Could it be because I've got Google + and Hangouts disabled? I had it disabled when I updated. It's really okay with me I wasn't looking forward to the change. I'm just curious why I didn't get the new thing.

Hi, I'm new to the N7 world and I miss my chaton or whatsapp, can anyone recommend a good alternative that works on the N7?
Thank you.
EDIT: I've managed to get chaton installed by extracting the .apk from my s3 and installing it on my N7 !!! And it works a treat!!

I use whatsapp on my N7. Google Talk is a nice alternative I guess.
(I restored whatsapp with titaniummbackup, the appguard way did not work for me anymore)

It's available on the backend, but you've got to actually run apps that support the new features (it's all part of GCM if you want to look it up, replacing C2DM). Even Google's offerings using GCM though (Hangouts, looking at you!) are really...weird about it.
For text messages try Mighty Text. Just install it on both your android phone and the nexus 7

I've found a great app for me. NotiSync. The only negative point is, that this app only uses bluetooth. But its great, that i can configure custom apps
If someone have a similar app but per wifi, pls talk to me

Agree, Mightytext developer's really made my day a lot easier! Getting notified of SMS, MMS & calls that's incoming. Sure lot's of Apps gives the simular functions, but the great thing about MT is that you could have a tab running in your browser and get notified on the computer also, and that you can answer/create msg directly from N7 or webbrowser. Smooth is that it runs on your 3G/4G, so you'll not have to use bluetooth or wifi and flipping it on and off etc. Sure if you wanna use the wifi @ home on your phone, MT will of course use that route. Probably the most beloved product for me, because having long conversation over SMS is just dumb. When you have a keyboard that makes me input data that much faster, but not everyone is thinking like me Glad that's not the case though! hehe..
Best regards,
H.

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:
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/10/31/download-new-google-apps-from-the-nexus-5-dump-search-launcher-and-more/#more-123662
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.
Sent from my XT1060 using xda app-developers app
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
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
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.

So I installed the 4.4 rom on my XT907 and it works great. Fast and super smooth. The only issue so far is that I can not seem to send pictures in a text. I've tried the stock app. handscent and Verizon messaging. None of them seem to be working. Anyone have any insight on how to work a round this?

That's what I was thinking and I know this is very early alpha but to be honest of that is fixed this rom is good enough for a daily driver. I also had a little noise when listening to Pandora One over Bluetooth I haven't had much of a chance to try anything with that this far. However the noise was not there while running the Carbon ROM 4.3 dailies.

There is also no options to change the apn settings. On the 4.4 thread in the general section, someone mentioned that mms works when using the phone w/t-mobile. The rom is also based off of the tmobile moto x. Hopefully someone will figure it out soon.
Ahhhh that makes sense then as I am on Verizon. I'm hoping that someone can get it working. I am very impressed at how well this works so far. Dhacker and the rest really do great work.

in the FWIW department, I don't use stock messaging for sending pics. given that google hangouts has taken over messaging capabilities, I just send pics via hangouts (granted, the other user must have hangouts as well, but since all androids have hangouts and hangouts is available for iPhone, I've just convinced my iPhone friends to get the app).
otherwise, I would normally send pics via e-mail or post them to my picasa web album and send folks a link instead - that way, it won't count against my mobile data.
Stupid question but, where is this Kit kat Thread/ rom?
EDIT: Doh, I found it in General, I was looking in Development. _thanks!
work around for receiving MMS (not sure if sending works) is to download 8sms (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkleft.eightyeightsms.mms&hl=en).
In setting add your phone number and chage MMS port to 80. Dont remember where I read this but it works for receiving MMS

I've been receiving mms thru hangouts the entire time. Sending
Is the issue.
Hey guys. With the new hangouts there are a lot of the features from previous SMS apps missing. Like the quick pop up reply from notification menu and multiple contacts.
I like hangouts and to be honest I'd like to use just one app only. Using Textra and it is awesome but can I uninstall hangouts and just use Textra on its own? What you guys use

I use google voice, barely any improvements, very buggy. But I haven't found anything better for texting thru voice. Also kakaotalk which is very bloated. I want a clean app that has option to send/not send push notifications. Know any?
I'm glad u said Hangouts is mandatory, I hate that. Can't we revert back to an older version and not be forced to use proprietary crap.
Hangouts is NOT mandatory, you can use any texting app you want.

Yea totally not Mandatory I used it for a week or so as my default sms application but then i switched back to the regular that came with the phone.
I use Hangouts. Its functional and full featured. The only annoying thing is that convos with the same person are separated by SMS and IM hangouts.
