I can't get the new hangouts app installed in my galaxy s4. It says it is already installed, but when I press open, it opens the old talk app. Any thoughts?
We need the new Google play services for it to work.

If u already have google music installed on your phone just go to play market and update the app. The new hangout apk is above with all the other apks if needed!!
I had to install hangouts from my pc

The new hangout sucks!!! Big time!
I need to know the online status of my friend before I send them a message, I do not want to message ppl while they are in the middle of something.
Also, after install Hangout, Google Play Services seem to be a HUGE battery drain!!!

There is a green under their photo that tells you they are online. Also their photos are bolder than people who are offline.

No, there isn't. Not in the Android app at least. The green underline is visible only in the browser version.
To me Hangout is a HUGE step back compared from Talk.
I can't get no notifications at all...

Hey
As someone else mentioned, which is the method i used as well, use your Desktop and go to the google play store, find hangouts and it will let you install, choose your S4 from the devices list, and bam, force-update over Gtalk. You're welcome.
P.S. I suggest you install from the Play Store. Also, notifications work entirely fine for me.
Does anybody know how to delete pictures stored on the gallery from when u send a pic in hangouts it automatically saves them, kinda of annoying. Thanks

The method I used is if you're rooted just uninstall Google Talk w/ Titanium Backup, go into the Play Store and download/install Hangouts.
Just an alternative method from what's been stated.

How can I install original google contacts and sms application? I extract these apps from CM9 zip, but I can't install them.
You mean you want to install cm9 apps in stock rom???????
If so it can't be done just like that because the cm9 apps require the cm9 framework.

Then you can extract the contacts apk and make it work in any device, and put it here for free. Will check here if you upload it. Thanks

you get the legal issues, right?
That user is not allowed to sell googles work as his/her own and therefore it should be removed from the market imho. Thanks.
In need of some advice from someone much smarter than me:
I am trying to figure out a solution for the small contact photos with Google contacts. I'm aware that there is an app to modify this, however it is paid and might eventually be updated by Google.
I know that if using TMobile contacts, the photos arent downscaled.
I am running Juggs 5.0 and tried to install the app from Play Store, but it says "Incompatible with device".
Any suggestions?

Did you change your screen density by chance?
Most of the "Incompadible with device" issues are because people lower the dpi from stock 240 to something lower.
Not sure why anyone would use that junk. Google sync completely removed the need for T-Mobile sync. Not even sure why they put it on there. That's why most custom roms take it out.

Hey,
I wouldn't have upgraded to 4.3 if I knew it was going to replace GTalk with this hangouts garbage. How can I get it back? This this is useless and I can't even see who is online. Most garbage product to come out of Google in recent memory.

You can't. Hangouts replaces Talk. Google retired Talk.
It is not really garbage though. It is very similar to Talk and has a couple more functions (groups, photos) if you use Google+ as well.
Agreed, it's garbage. Will not upgrade until it's removed. Can't set status, can't sort by availability. Utter fail.
Agreed, Hangouts is total crap, i want to remove it as well.
If you're rooted you can uninstall Hangouts with Titanium Backup then install a GTalk apk you can get it by searching or push it into system /app

Some are installable without root, play around and see which, they get installed as an update.
But for the messaging app, you do not need root

It works like any messaging apk. You can set it as your default, but it does not delete or override anything without your permission

Yes these apps all work and they are awesome . There is already a thread here with this stuff in it though gmail 5.0 is the title. I guess we can have 2 threads LOL
Don't like the wasted space. Samsungs is much nicer plus the swipe and motion functions. The archive option is great though.
How do you feel about the random colors assigned to each thread? Lol nice touch, but it would be nice to assign a color to a contact. We shall see!
