[2.3+][APP][apk]Google Hangouts - Optimus L3, L5, L7 Themes and Apps

Rest assured Hangouts will be available soon for all Android 2.3+ devices, tablets included!
Hangouts brings one-on-one and group conversations to life with photos, emoji, and video calls for free. Connect with friends across computers, Android and Apple devices. Brought to you by Google.

Yes of course, try it - it'll replace the old gtalk app though

I probably deserve to get flamed for this one but....
Is there an indicator somewhere that tells you if the person you are sending a message to is actively logged in? I used to use the chat feature built into Gmail and it would place a green dot next to the people who were online.

Not really. Some people are saying that the greyed out contacts are the offline ones, but comparing between 'hangouts' on my tablet and gtalk on my phone, that doesn't appear to be accurate.
Pretty annoyed by this app. Talk was perfect, and it was a staple of both the desktop and mobile Google experience. And now they've stripped it of some of its most useful features.
It reeks of yet another effort to push us all onto their ****ty social network.

Yeah I agree with you on that one, everything is moving towards Google+.
Which, in all honesty, wouldn't be so bad. The G+ app is really slick, just not much use for me since most of my friends are using other social media sites.

Thanks!!

Its their new approach they aren't gonna change it. Some kind of watermarks appear based on the level of activity - though i haven't figured out how that works yet

I updated it successfully but just cant sign in it failing over & over again, does it not work on 2.3.6 gingerbread?

^yes it does work on gb for sure but are you on a custom rom?

Ya they did take some actually all useful features from us the online indicator to see whos online away or off there device which is nice so ur not waking people up for a video call or message, Cant merge contacts the same any more or delete them as u could with google talk. It seems like there trying to make it like apples face time which has its own ups and downs but is a lot simpler so i kinda understand linking the phone numbers and stuff but why push this BS feature less app out to all of us with android without having it perfect all this did was set everyone on android back not forward so far

Is there a way to install Hangouts without deleting Gtalk? Or to ban this particular update?

Doesn't work.
Here's the working way: disconnect Talk from Google Play with Titanium Backup. Now it won't update and you won't have to install Hangouts.
Update: no, it doesn't. Everything is back after rebooting.

[App] Not liking the htc one m7 stock messaging app? App solution.

This is my first thread. Don't flame me too hard if I put this in the wrong area or did something else wrong. I just thought I would share something that helped me out a lot....
I really dislike the stock messaging app for the one. The look it's fine and it is quick but I have 2 major issues:
1- no multiple picture sending from stock (garbage imho) gallery. You have to individually send 1at a time.
2- no support for adding pictures via quick pic (my preferred gallery app)
I tried all the popular apps for messaging and paid for some of them before immediately deleting them. They were either too slow, didn't do what I wanted, or were loaded with adds.
My solution was textra. (I have nothing to do with this app)
-It is free.
-No ads.
-simple
-It supports multiple sending of images (although sends 1 at a time).
-You can send via quickpic.
-has fully working emoticons (my wife has an iPhone)
If you install it and have sprint, check the "prefer WiFi" in the mms settings for it to work correctly.
I hope this can help anyone searching for a replacement for the stock app.

You are aware you can send more than one pic at a time with the stock app right. All you need to do is click the paperclip again and it'll give you the option.

when you need to send 4 pictures at a time, pressing the paper clip 4 times and selecting 4 separate pictures takes alot longer than multi-selecting 4 pictures and sending them all at once.

I have sliding messaging pro and when I get a voicemail, I get a text. Seems like sliding uses same server as visual voicemail. so I can't use the sliding messaging app because I won't get voicemail.

Can this be done for Hangouts ?
I mean the SMS part of it.
Amazing job. A bit overpriced but amazing idea anyway. Thinking on take it.
It corrupts history of messages from Whatsapp and I have to restore messages backup every 2 or 3 attempts to test the app.The problem starts when I answer from PC 2 or 3 times.
Anyway, it's a wonderful idea. Go on!!
Edit: It's something strange. It seems that Whatsapp is opened twice!! i have to close Whatsapp app twice to exit

Thats a weird problem you are facing. None of my users or test cases have reported that, I would recommend,
- Restarting your phone
proceed to each next steps only if the problem still persist)
- Uninstall Quick Reply
- Reinstalling Whatsapp (let it settle down)
- Install Quick Reply properly with full initial setup
Let me know if you still face the issue!

If thats the case don't worry.. its just Quick Reply opening up the whatsapp after injecting the message. ( I ll add the code to close it automatically in next update)

Same thing here, other than that it works as advertised.
No WhatsApp+ Support?
Just installed it myself and it works like a charm. I don't use WhatsApp though, only stock MMS.
Features that I think could be beneficial:
SMS marked as read when replied to (or notification dismissed).
Conversation history above text sent
Cheers
WhatsApp+ Support
I'm waiting on support or maybe a workaround to use it with WhatsApp+
But I'll glady buy it!
Any plans to do it?

You are making a mistake.. you are still accessing old Whatsapp Notifications.. Please follow the setup steps properly where you disable original Whatsapp Mirroring and reply via Custom Notifications generated by Quick Reply App (the ones seen in Play Store screens), If are still stuck at any point let me know I'll guide you through the entire process!
Amazon store
Can you add this app to the amazon store please?
So I'll buy it
Thanks!
Can you make a plugin for Firefox too?

Another question for the OP: When we have stacked WhatsApp notifications with messages from multiple people/groups, whom does the message go to? To the top-most notification? Does the "Quick Reply" window show the recipient who will receive the WhatsApp message?

Trouble with "Ok Google" Always On

[Original Post]
"Ok Google" works fine for me when the phone is on/unlocked without any training. However, to have it work even when the screen is off or the phone is locked it requires training your voice. For the life of me I can't get it to accept the training. It wants to record you saying "Ok Google" three times and it will move on to the second and third recordings after a previous recording is successful. I can't get it to move past the first recording. It just listens for a while and then times out. Anyone else have this issue? Any thoughts on how to resolve it?
[Update 1]
Clearing Google Search data made voice training quick and easy, but my option to have it always on has disappeared. See my post below. Thoughts?
[Update 2]
I just rebooted the phone and my "always on" option has returned but it wants me to retrain my voice. Now I can't get past the first recording again...
I don't have that issue. Voice training went off without a hitch. Did you go to a quiet place like the instructions said?

Thanks for the response. Yes, I was in a location with no sound.
Since posting the original post I found this thread where someone suggested clearing Google Search app data. I tried it and voice training was quick and easy. However, I don't seem to have the option for this to work with the screen off anymore. I can only do it when the screen is on, locked or unlocked.
Here is what the options used to look like (not my screenie, I just found this image on the web, probably from an N9 or something):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now here is what my screen looks like:
I no longer have the "always on" option. One step forward, one step backward.
@Marcellus1 I see that no one has offered any help here and I can't either. My N6 has the issue that your first picture shows. I am running Validus 5.0.1 alpha 1.0 Rom. I have read that this is an issue with all AOSP ROMs right now but there isn't very much being discussed about it. If you find a solution, please let me know. If I find one I'll definitely post it here.
The odd thing is that my my N5, N7(2013) and N9 all have this feature working flawlessly, all running Lollipop. My N6 is the only device with issues and I have tried 3 different ROMs as well as several different gapps packages to try to solve it to no avail.
you can try this thread, as thats what fixed my ok google everywhere and with screen off and unplugged http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/ok-google-everywhere-aosp-rom-t2963716
btw, im on rastapop.
I appreciate the replies. It seems that the fix is only a 50-50 chance of working AND it requires a custom ROM. I'm on stock, no root, no custom recovery, no anything special. I'll probably switch to a custom ROM at some point, but for now I don't think I'm ready to make the switch. One post mentioned in that thread referenced this other thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57335716&postcount=295
The suggestion is to clear search and play data in order for the changes to survive a reboot, but that you lose the option for always on while not plugged in. That doesn't seem optimal either. Word is Android 5.1 due out in February or so will address "Ok Google" issues, which hopefully means this issue. Maybe I'll just sit tight until 5.1 rolls out before trying factory resets, custom ROMs or the like.
I had a Pressy inserted into my headphone port. Ok Google worked fine on the homescreen with the Pressy inserted, but it would not work with the voice training with the Pressy installed. If i did the voice training without the Pressy, then put the Pressy in, Google Now still worked ok on the homescreen, but not with screen off.
EDIT: I am rooted on stock ROM.

That's interesting. I've had a pressy in my headphone jack. When I try training my voice with Pressy inserted, the phone just endlessly listens and eventually times out. When I removed it and tried voice training again I immediately got "something went wrong" and "It's a little too noisy in here. Please find a quieter place and try again". (and I'm in a quiet place).
[EDIT]: As a follow-up, I've uninstalled Pressy and the AutomateIt Pressy plugin. I've cleared my search data, and installed the new Google (search) app (http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/01/07/google-app-hits-version-4-1-now-cards-settings-apk-download/), but still no luck training my voice.

Thanks for your suggestion but it did not work. I saw your suggestion previously and put it off because I didn't want to have to root my device. However, after getting the updated google (search) app today and it still not working, I decided to give it a go. Unlocked the device, rooted it, etc, then copied the files mentioned in your solution to the appropriate locations. Rebooted the device and now my "always on" feature is grayed out and disabled--it says this feature is currently unavailable for this language. The language is set to English (US). I cleared the search app data and was able to train the device immediately, but it was just like my post above where the always on is limited to when the screen is on and unlocked or when charging. Rebooting the phone and/or re-installing the updated google (search) app (because I lost it during the rooting process) takes me back to "this feature is currently unavailable for this language".
[EDIT]: I was looking through that thread some more and saw that some were having some success with flashing the zip by hlxanthus that was a little bit different from the original suggestion. I took my root a step further and installed a custom recovery and then flashed hlxanthus's zip. There is no change.
[EDIT 2]: As a follow-up to the previous edit, after flashing hlxanthus's zip, clearing search data no longer makes a change to enable voice training.

@Marcellus1 I see that no one has offered any help here and I can't either. My N6 has the issue that your first picture shows. I am running Validus 5.0.1 alpha 1.0 Rom. I have read that this is an issue with all AOSP ROMs right now but there isn't very much being discussed about it. If you find a solution, please let me know. If I find one I'll definitely post it here.
The odd thing is that my my N5, N7(2013) and N9 all have this feature working flawlessly, all running Lollipop. My N6 is the only device with issues and I have tried 3 different ROMs as well as several different gapps packages to try to solve it to no avail.

Sledge, I don't know if you ever got your Ok Google working, but I thought I'd post that it's working now for me with the 5.1 update without any tweaks or workarounds.

Thank you very much for the update! I was still having the issue and just forgot about it. I was thinking about trying out the 5.1 update but just haven't gotten around to it.
Me too, does not work with marshmallows, you have found a solution?
works fine on marshmallow over here. i even taught it to listen for ok nexus instead of ok google.
Do you have Now on Tap or Smart Lock enabled? Some people have reported that these cause issues with hot word detection.

Interesting. It must listen for "OK" instead of the whole "OK, Google".

This Feature is Broken Again!!!
I've noticed this is broken on Android N. I often clean install custom ROM and then the latest OpenGApps only to find that when I toggle on OK Google "Always On" the toggle instantly turns itself back off the moment I turn it on. There's some work arounds on the forums and I can usually make it work by Installing and old version of the Google App clearing all data for Google App then training voice model and setting OK Google "Always On" toggle to "On". Then after everything is working I go ahead and update Google App from Play Store and usually it keeps working. Sometimes it breaks again. I'm tired of working around this. I wanna know if it will ever again be possible to use this feature. This has been going on for months. Perhaps they should just remove the feature all together then at least it won't be there broken and useless.

[Q] Google Now not working. Network error. [SOLVED]

Ok
I have a brand new Droid Turbo that is having problems with Google Now. I get no Cards. The Google now screen is blank except for the past 3 searched items.
If I swipe from the left and hit settings/Now Cards the first item is Show card which is off and I can't change it and it has an error messages under it that says "Network error. Check your network connection and try again."
I can browse the internet fine with all apps be it WiFi or Verizon 4G. I have tried to clear data from the Google App, I've uninstalled the latest update, I have done two factor resets. My Nexus 7 gets to this just fine. Any clues?
Thanks.

I have the same exact issue too. Only it happens with certain apps too. Reddit sync pro is the worst/slowest app with the most lag. I made a thread on XDA a bit ago about the poor wireless/wifi performance,

Seems like many brands of routers paired with the Droid Turbo are acting up. Some report turning off IPV6 worked for them. It doesn't for me. I don't think it's a router issue as HTC and Apple devices work perfectly over wifi.
Hopefully Motorola gets the message...

You have completely misunderstood my problem.
I'm not having any lag nor are there any REAL network issues. My Google Now is blank. It doesn't show ANY cards. The error message says I have a network problem but I can use the phone just fine. Something is screwed up on Google Now. This has nothing to do with routers or anything of that nature.

Well, it just sounds mighty similar to what I and many others are experiencing.
Try it with wifi off and see if it does the same thing. For me, using verizons radio/data app grab data snappy like it should be. Wifi is my turbos issue.
Generally the turbo needs 2-3 tries of refreshing in in the play store, reddit sync, chrome and so on before loading images. For instance, the play store will show app tiles but take forever to load the icon. The wifi lag/poor responsiveness is intermittent happening around 50% the time an app needs data via wifi. Considering you just got your phone it might creep up on more apps as you use your phone. Just throwing it out there.
I also have the app Trend. Different apps show different errors and Trend will say "No data connection found" when my phone is acting shi**y over wifi. Refreshing it a couple of times generally restores data.
Had this issue just two days ago after refomatting my device and may have declined a google location setting. I posted my fix over in the Google help forums and this is what worked for me two days ago and its still working
Another thing to try that worked for me is> Google settings in the app drawer>Account History>Turn off Web&App Activity/Device Information/Voice & Audio Activity/ Youtube search History/ Youtube watch History/Google location History> wait five minutes and turn it all back on.
I tried this after i didnt know if it was my device or my account. so I deleted my google account from the phone and installed my wifes account and found "google now" worked perfect, so I knew it was in my account settings which was a relief. Thats how I found whats above worked for me. Maybe if the above doesnt work for you do as i did and install another persons google account on the phone see if the "google now "works then if it does then you know its your account, and try the above that worked for me.

Thanks,
I tried a second fake google account and it brought the Google Now wizard right up. So it is some kind of authentication issue or file corruption either in the phone or at google. Though my Nexus 7 works just fine so I doubt it is an issue with the account on google's end. I'll try your recipe and see if that clears it.
Let us know if it works.

Good!!!
I searched all of the internets for a solution and didnt find anything. One time I did a voice google "remind me" and instead of saying this "is not avalible on this device" it said " enable web & app activity" so thats how I came up with the solution. Maybe you didnt have to do all that deleting the history, but I did and thats what worked. Glad it worked for you and a couple of others on the google help forum. Makes me feel like a big wig! LOL.. Thanks for the "thanks"

Yep there is no way to really know if that was a necessary step or it was swatting flies with nuclear weapons. But it got the job done and now I can finally enjoy my new phone. Accidentally washed my Moto X so this has been totally frustrating until now.
the above solution is the only thing that worked for me... htc one m8

Thank you so much. It makes a lot of sense now.
I had this same problem when I purchased this phone coming from Moto X with 5.0.
Solved this by excluding the cards preferences in google settings.
After excluding this preferences, google now started working.

You can maybe search for a tutorial to mod the framework.
New build is up but sim don't work... again.
So if you are using 0330 don't even download.
Btw where is the chat room
I see. No problem. Good luck !
It's 3 hours now, that it dissapeared... :'(
The second fix .sh script from the RIL thread is also working?
Sorry for the inconvenience! The chatroom disappeared lol. I'll find another which will be hopefully more reliable than the previous one.

Wouldn't it be wiser to open a chat on some service that:
1. has a mobile app (so we can access it from phone too)
2. allows us to send links?
For example Google Hangouts or something like that.

The problem with mobile apps is the fact that you need to make an account, not many people like that. Second thing is, when flashing, having an app on the phone is pretty useless. Third problem is with things like hangouts, your personal profile is exposed and I'm sure not many people would like that ._.
Anyways, I have a surprise in store for you guys and the dev :3, will put up the link when it is done.
