New Google Apps from Nexus 5 Dump

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?

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.

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

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?

Thanks for that tip. It took a couple of tries but TC is working fine with the new search.

Search isn't working on sprint moto x. I keep getting "unfortunately Google search has stopped working"

No option for exchange in the email app means its no use to me, yet.

Can someone grab the stock messaging app from another carrier for us?

Can someone grab the stock messaging app from another carrier for us?
The verizon version doesnt have a spam folder or the ability to schedule messages and its crazy that nobody else has complained about it yet!
Could anyone please port the app from another carrrier for us?

Well on Sprint, the Spam Filter is off by default.
You don't have that option in your Messaging Settings?

Verizon S5's come with Messages+ on them. I had to switch because of annoying UI problems and lacking of desired functionality.

It's been disabled on Verizon. Its a different version of the messaging app without spam filtering or the ability to send scheduled messages. which would be fine if Verizon's Messages+ could schedule sms but it cant. Scheduling was one of my absolute favorite features on my s3 I used it every day since i have a few buddies on overnight shifts that i cant test during the day.

tried replacing the apk and odex and fixing permissions with the appropriate files from the international variant. Files were from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2796268
Everything worked, including scheduling and spam senders but it blocked MMS from going through saying "invalid destination address"
tried again with the apk and odex from ATT variant, same result.
Anyone have any ideas? Doesnt anyone want this feature back? Coming from the Sprint forums to here is such a big change, theres no devs here.

Cant believe nobody else cares about these features? Is this in the wrong section? anyone know how to move this thread to the Q&A section?

I care about the features but I don't have the know how to port the app

haha THANK YOU. its ok you dont know how to do it I was just beginning to think there was no mod community on this forum at all.

honestly progress as far as modding this phone is slower than all my previous phones. Something small like this is going to be a difficult task to find on here. I'm sure eventually it will come up but it's going to take time.
Side note... I ditched stock messaging apps and went with GO SMS PRO. This way any phone I end up in the future will have the same messaging app I'm accustomed to.

anyone get a bearing on this?

Maybe you need to change something in the APN settings?
I've noticed on my phone that unless data is on, I can't send mms.
I switched to Textra which does everything you ask.
I hope some of these ideas help.
These are just some ideas, as you can tell I'm not using the same phone or the same carrier. (I'm using a Verizon HTC DROID DNA on AT&T)

When trying your link I got no page found.

yeah it got deleted cause it wasnt working i think.

Verizon Message+ APP please

Does anyone have the Verizon Message+ APK for whatever version was immediately prior to the current version (5.6.1)? I would like to revert back until they fix the notification problems.
Thanks

I've been trying to look for this version try to out. can you upload the apk? The version prior to this is 5.5.30 http://www.androidapk.ws/app/verizon-messages-apk

Thanks, but if I download from that link, it is actually 5.5.1.
Are you looking for 5.6.1? You can get that from the play store.

Yea. Its not updated from the playstore yet. I guess they are doing it in waves. Not everyone got the update. Im still on 5.5.30

I'll pm you a link with 5.6.1.
Are you able to extract your messages+ 5.5.3 apk before you update it? It's in Device/System/app.

5.6.3 is out. I'm having the same problem. Do you want that apk or can you get that one from the play store?
EDIT: Never mind. It looks like 5.6.3 is what I sent you yesterday.

I am not having any notifications problems like you. Are you getting the text messages but no sound?

I use Vibify to get a vibration notification when I have new messages. It does what "smart alert" is supposed to do on Samsung phones but never works. If I get a new message, phone call, voicemail, etc while I'm away, my phone will vibrate as soon as I touch it (without me having to turn it on) to let me know something new is there. With the new version of message+, it vibrates EVERY time I pick up my phone, new text message or not. It's really, really annoying. Everything else seems to be working fine, although I do prefer the old layout to the new one.

Try light flow app. You can control led, sounds and vibrations. Just set message+ to none or vibrate

I travel a lot and the ability to receive text over WiFi is a big deal for me. Message+ is the only way I've found to do that so far.

Where is the Stock photo Gallery

Just received my Sprint LG V20 today. loving it so far but I don't see a photo gallery, just google photos. Am I missing something ?

Seems like depending on the carrier, some lg apps are missing. Sprint seems to have the most. At&t's model is missing at the least the music app and I'll not sure what else

what gallery app did you download?

Have you tried opening the camera, taking a picture and then clicking on the picture while in the camera to see what app it opens?

I believe that opens a google photo gallery, which I am not a fan of sharing photos with.
If you try texting a photo, it sends a link to the photo as an album uploaded somewhere

Ah ok.
I do want to find a new Gallery app though. This one has minimal editing abilities. On my Note 7 I was able to edit more extensively and I could edit videos within the app too.

I side loaded an lg gallery app. The ones in the play store didn't do it for it me.

Here you guys go. =)

Tried sideloading through adb with a no go, and installing like a normal app is no go for me as well. Thank you for your efforts though.
On adb I get install failed invalid apk package couldn't be installed related missing code.
Maybe once the t-mobile guys break in they could give us the apk.

The apps are blocked. You can't install them at all I've tried. Unless someone makes a modification to the app or device OS sprint users will be sol. I also want the stock music, gallery and email from lg. I got ten bucks towards a pot if any of you would like to start a small bounty.

There is a possibility that all of you have already tried this but... I could do a backup of the apk and post it. Then download it and see whether they work with your variant or not. (i mean, it worth a try, right? Let me know.

One is the music app and the other is the widget i believe. These ones are from T-mobile's variant, Nevertheless, it is worth a try

Let me try another method. And then im going to zip it. it would be less susceptible to get corrupted that way

Here The files zipped
There. If they dont work, then chances are carriers are becoming even more b**chier than they already are.
in the zipped file you will find: Music, music widget, and email app

Alright. I checked all the files on my pc using some tools to check for corruption and they pass the test. Which means that,,,, Your carriers are being b**chy. Perhaps the signatures of the apps are different, that's why it takes it as corrupted files. Then again, im barely starting to learn programming and all that, but i have been digging around on XDA since 2014 LOL. Anyway people, I WISH YOU THE BEST LUCK TO FIND THE WAY TO GET WHAT YOU WANT! :good:

Yes I did all of this day one. I quickly realized that the carriers hands were all up in it. Hopefully there will be a way eventually to get the stock apps.

By the way, have you noticed that no matter how you do the back up of the app, there is always a file with a format (systag)? that never happened to me with samsung galaxy s or notes devices. Then again, that file is only showing the apkpath as if it were presenting the file.

I believe the issue is happening because you can't sideload the apps, maybe placing them in system/app but for that we need root.
I may be wrong..

Ive tried several different ways. Even using an app to restore it.. Its a no go. Maybe because its a tmobile app and they use some kind of special security code that prevents other varients. But kbrn post above might be right... Might need to go in the system/ and require root...

same issue and im on att. kind of funny since this phone is marketed toward the audiophiles. play music does decently though

You'll probably have the same result, but here's 3 music APKs from my rooted T-Mobile V20.

If someone could get the gallery to work I imagine it's possible for the music app as well... I hope.

Want to see this work.. .I loved th LG music player back in the day and dont like play music so much

Can you tell me where in the device the file is stored? I checked system/app but do not see the music app. I do have it installed. I am on Verizon.
