Android 4.3 Support for Applications

Today after a reboot I noticed a little issue with app support for not-supported-by-the-developer-anymore like XDA Developers official app and tTorrent pro unfortunately.
It looks like that it is to do with the new classes which is not supported by the ClassLoader somehow.
What applications do you have which force close or in this case unsupported since you have updated to Android 4.3?

I had DroidWall completely stop working (when enabled, the internet basically broke for everything). I switched to Android Firewall by jtschohl, which works fine.

Google disallowed it on purpose for security purposes.

I had problems with MX Player, but fortunately there is a working beta version on its official page, and Asfalt 7, witch forces close and I didn't find any workaround yet.

I have problem with floating touch app, now doesn't disappear from notification center

I updated while running Null_16 all apps and Null working fine no loss of anything (Rooted stock Note 3)

I got the update through Samsung app store this morning. Don't see any difference. However, I did notice that two version previous fixed S-voice on the Note 2. The last update made s-voice worse and now with this most recent one, S-voice is again improved. Maybe its a bug fix? idk.

I've updated but... am i wrong or in "old" versions of Gear Manager we had Gmail notifications as primary and not under other notifications? I'm not sure...

Only an additional app in the utility called Sogou Voice Assistant, which is only usable if you are chinese ... However, that does mean it would be possible to perhaps integrate other voice assistants including Google Now at some point.
Other than that it might be more of a bug fix. I wish we could get a changelog though.

What I observed in the last update is the gmail notification rollup all pending mails when a new one arrive instead of showing last one only.

Took the update and now my gear running null 15 will not connect to my Note 3.

GMail Notifications
After the update I am able to receive notification for only one gmail account. I have multiple gmail accounts setup and was able to receive notifications for all the accounts before the update. Is there any solution to this?

getting a notice/error
I just put nullgear_16 on the gear this morning, i had a hard time getting gear manager installed. I ended up using the earliest version i could find 1.2.131013. the watch paired and everything was good. then i installed 1.5120903 over top of it. I got the message that it needed to update with samsung apps. which i didn't have installed. so i found an old apk, installed it, updated it to the newest version. installed Gear Manager 1.5.121601 and now I get a notice that says:
Unable to connect to the Gear.
Connecting to the Gear is not supported by your mobile device, or your software needs to be updated.
Check that your mobile device is able to connect to the Gear, then update your mobile device software.
I'm on 4.3 eclipse, I don't know what it could be complaining about.
Updated to an MK2 rom (Eclipse) Works perfectly except for weather settings aren't available on the watch or Gear Manager.

Yeah this gear manager update is also broken. I was missing notifications from gmail again. It was nice for a bit and then stopped. I liked that I separated the subject line but would not notify on the 2nd email if I didn't clear the notification on my phone like atn did.
I really wish they would fix this foreclosed app issue when connecting to wifi on the note 3

The annoying change on this update is that once I get one email through Gmail, it sometimes will renotify me as soon as a new email comes in. So I could have it go off 5+ times from prior email notifications. Hopefully it's a bug.
Update also made me do a restore of my Gear and I'm running stock. It's a mess.
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app

I wish there was a way to undo the update and go back to the previous gear manager version. Does anyone know how I can get back the USA gear manager version right before this new update this evening. I want the one that came out by samsung two weeks ago.
Also, my speakerphone is horrible with this update. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem
Like someone said this is a total mess!!!

I noticed you had changed kernels. I did that and got all of the problems you listed. Trust me, its not L its whatever kernel you're using or even user error. Even greenify works now, but most root apps require a permissive kernel...sounds like you don't have one possibly, if you are rooted there's an SELinux policy changer app that will at the click of a button, modify the kernel between enforced and permissive. I use code blue, FK didn't work for me. Also not sure this thread will be open much longer. All the best.
Try posting this in general in the Lollipop thread.

Yea I don't have those problems either. I have had the keyboard predictions not come up some times though. I have also had the play music app bug which is really annoying me because I just bought some Bluetooth headphones and its ruining the hands free experience.

In recents/overview, after clearing all apps sometimes apps pop up if you tap the recents button again like Phone, Android System etc. Anyone else having this issue?

I'm having almost all those same problems as OP...I have it with FK. KitKat was way better and buttery smooth, no issues really. The one thing I really like about 5.0 is the lockscreen notifications..long overdue feature. Missing feature though: control time of music from lock screen.

No offence mate, but calling this thread "all you need to know" is wrong.
I disagree with everything you said, having used heavily since about an hour after the image was posted by Google.
To suggest that your opinion is all people need to know is just plain wrong.
90% of root apps? Nonsense. Every root app I need works.
Crashes in chrome? None here. Same with all the gapps.
Most apps don't work proper? Really?
Launcher lags? Nope. And that word is thrown about all the time with no explanation or quantification.
You should at the least change the title of the thread.
