[Q] Talk not hangouts way out on nexus 4! - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i am really pissed with slow hangouts. and want to install good old gtalk. but is there any way to do it? i can downgrade to older roms if needed.i am using kitkat 4.4.2 stock with xposed. pls help.

Slower how? I feel its faster than SMS. Since i have an android and a lot of people i know have iPhones, and unfortunately iMessage is iOS only, i have convinced them to use hangouts with me. You can see when they have read, when they are typing, and it takes a split second to send/receive. It is WAY better than Google Talk was.

Can I add the dialer to tablet?

Hi Everyone,
I want the android native dialer on my Nexus 7 tablet because it supports SIP natively. I don't like other SIP software. Is there any way I can port it to my Nexus 7?
Maybe copy contents of the /etc/systems/permissions/ from a phone to the Nexus 7?
Please let me know if this has been done before or should work.
Thanks,
Why not just use like Text+ or TextFree. You can make calls using wifi.
Why use anything non-native if native application can be used?
Robustness, simplicity, guaranteed updates, no bloat-ware, etc...are some of the many reasons why one wants to use stock software.
I'm sorry, did you just say "no bloat-ware" as a pro for running stock?
I'm confused, because there's all this bloatware stock programming on my Captivate Glide that I can't get rid of unless I root my phone and wipe it.
-Ara
That's why I use a "GOOGLE" Nexus 7 which si very flexible and rooted.
Now, back to the topic, has anyone got the native dialer running on a device that doesn't have it on stock.
Thanks,
Same here.
I am also interested in trying to get the stock dialer onto my Note 8 tablet. Bump?

Beautiful & Immersive
A more polished design, improved performance, and new features.
Just say “Ok Google”
You don’t need to touch the screen to get things done. When on your home screen* or in Google Now, just say “Ok Google” to launch voice search, send a text, get directions or even play a song.
A work of art
While listening to music on your device, or while projecting movies to Chromecast, you’ll see beautiful full-screen album and movie art when your device is locked. You can play, pause, or seek to a specific moment.
Immerse yourself
The book you're reading, the game you're playing, or the movie you're watching — now all of these take center stage with the new immersive mode, which automatically hides everything except what you really want to see. Just swipe the edge of the screen to bring back your status bar and navigation buttons.
Faster multitasking
Android 4.4 takes system performance to an all-time high by optimizing memory and improving your touchscreen so that it responds faster and more accurately than ever before. This means that you can listen to music while browsing the web, or race down the highway with the latest hit game, all without a hitch.
Smart & Simple
Google smarts improve every corner of the Android experience.
The future is calling
The new phone app automatically prioritizes your contacts based on the people you talk to the most. You can also search for nearby places and businesses, your contacts, or people in your Google Apps domain.
A smarter caller ID
Whenever you get a call from a phone number not in your contacts, your phone will look for matches from businesses with a local listing on Google Maps.
All your messages in the same place
Never miss a message, no matter how your friend sends it. With the new Hangouts app, all of your SMS and MMS messages are together in the same app, alongside your other conversations and video calls. And with the new Hangouts, you can even share your location and send animated GIFs.
Emoji everywhere
Sometimes words can’t express how you feel. For that, there’s Emoji, the colorful Japanese characters, now available on Google Keyboard.
Grab & Go
New features help you get things done while you’re on the move.
Print wherever, whenever
Now you can print photos, documents, and web pages from your phone or tablet. You can print to any printer connected to Google Cloud Print, to HP ePrint printers, and to other printers that have apps in the Google Play Store.
Pick a file, any file
From apps like Quickoffice, you can open and save files on Google Drive, other cloud storage services, or your device. And with quick access to recently used files, it's easier than ever to send the file you were just working on.
Your office, anywhere
Create and edit documents, spreadsheets and presentations from your phone or tablet with the newly redesigned Quickoffice
Don't think kit kat will come to Grand or any other phone than the premium flaship...
This is a commercial restriction and not hardware...unfortunately...

Hello Guys....
I've have been here since the Grand thread was a single general thread, so I've done and tried it all:
Here are the options for 4.2.2 on the Grand "L"
1. You CAN flash the OFFICIAL 4.2.2 for the 9082 BUT....you will loose 3G connectivity, it will only work on EDGE.
2. You CAN the CM10.1 Build as in my thread it will run the 3G networks fine, BUT...you loose your second SIM slot.
That's it.
Regards,
Paul

Is there a good alternative for Contacts / Dialer ?

I currently own a ATT S4, it's rooted with Wanam Xposed Framework, Nova launcher, Stock Nexus messaging app, etc... And I must admit I really like this phone a lot, after having an Nexus 4, and Galaxy Nexus before that. The battery life on this S4 is freaking amazing, easily 50% better than my Nexus 4. I get 5h -5.5h On Screen time every day, and I really like the 1080p screen, very beautiful. And this phone is plenty fast for me, no lag with Nova set to "Faster than Light"
TouchWiz is pretty much hidden away with all the other .apk's I have installed. But the one thing I HATE on TW is specifically the Dialer and Contacts. Swiping to make a phone call is ****ing stupid, and not being able to swipe from the contacts to the phone dialer is another mistake.
And pressing the Phone app, or the Contacts app, are the only two apps, that have a slight pause or delay, not really lag, just a pause till it opens up. No other app does that, everything else opens up in a blink of an eye.
But other than that, I do like TW, and the other cool features it has, and I use. But would love to find a stock Nexus Dialer and Contact .apk, but not sure those would ever work on a TW phone ? And I can't flash any zips, due to being on MF3 firmware I can only do .apk's with Root Explorer. Is there something similar to the stock Nexus dialer/contacts on the Play Store ? And something that is not laggy or worse than even the stock TW ? Some of the Play Store might look like a stock Nexus app, but are actually slower, and worse.
I found this app on the Play Store, and it seems very much like a stock nexus dialer, pretty quick, and light
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dexetra.dialer&hl=en
Checked my Greenify settings, this 'dialapp' is running big time in the background, with lots of wake times. Looks I need to delete it now. Dang, can't I just install the stock Nexus dialer from an older 4.2.2 build, and delete the Samsung TW dialer ?
ExDialler is good too.

I tried both apps, Dialerapp and ExDialer, and they were good, but still have TouchWiz running behind them, when pressing to hang up, it shows the TW interface there, or some other areas still show TW. I thought these apps would erase and get rid of TW 100%, guess not.
I suppose I could try to delete all Samsung Phone / Dialer .apk in /system with Root Explorer ? Would love to be able to push a 4.2.2 based CM10.1 phone.apk, but I think that might screw things up ?
I also tried a lot of Dialers some time ago, while I was still on S2. I settled for RocketDial. This app does everything and is incredibly fast. Costs money, but it's worth it in my opinion.
dialer + , has kinda stock android look
Yes, whatever third party dialer you install, the TW will stay there, as it's in the core of the TW framework. I don't think there's a way to completely uninstall it, rather you shouldn't.

Keyboard Lag (Emoji)

Hey guys,
I´m a proud owner of the G3 since today.
As for right now, everything seems to work pretty good I guess.
The only thing that really bothers me, I get a pretty tough lag when scrolling through LG´s emoji.
I also had this, when I tried the Keyboard on my S3 but tbh I thought, that the S3 might be just too weak or something.
Kinda disappointed that the final result stays the same
/e:
Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv8VPkJhvy8
same issue here !!!!
If you check the list of mods, there is a way you can replace the LG emoji with iOS ones. It eliminated all lag for me!
I find the LG keyboard to be ultra laggy. Some times it misses letters, other times its just unresponsive. I swapped out to the Android L keyboard and zero lag or any other issues. Best thing I've done to this phone so far
I´m still kinda afraid of rooting the phone. Since I got no PC here, I won´t be able to restore the "un-root" mode, just in case :/
Kinda disappointing, since I actually was looking forward to that keyboard..
Think I should give the Android L keyboard a try.
/e: works flawless, wow!
Emoji help
I am able to send emojis just fine but when people send them to me they just show up as symbols.
Ex. If I receive a smiling emoji from someone it shows up as "X=^" instead of the actual emoji. Any suggestions on what to do ?

HOW TO remove heads up on paranoid kitkat 4.4??

hi,
I bought this phone from one week and there was already the paranoid ROM based on android 4.4.
The Rom works very well no lags etc. just the camera quality seems not too good (a lot of noise).
Anyway my problem is the "heads up notifications" like in lollipop... i get this kind of notification on whatsapp, calls, and specially every time that i launch the keyboard.. i hate this notifications! :crying:
There is a way for delete these notifications?
Thanks
