[Q] Help : Unable to uninstall Hangouts from S4 mini GT-I9195 - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently got this Galaxy S4 Mini GT-I9195. Its shipped with Android 4.2.2
The device is not rooted yet,
When i go to application manager -> Hangouts
i do not see uninstall button. All what I see is, 'Force Stop' & 'Turn Off'
I want to uninstall this annoying app and want to use Google Talk. I do have Gtalk APK with me.
When I try to install it, it says App cant be installed,
Could anyone please guide me through. Many thanks in Advance.

I think you should turn off first can you upload the apk you have to test it on my rooted hangouts free phone

http://code.google.com/p/sawsan-android/downloads/detail?name=GTalk_4.1.2-509230.apk
google still supports Google talk.
I have same on my Galaxy Note which has got it pre-installed.
I am just not opting for the update play store prompts me to do and this is how I can enjoy gtalk
Please help

Firat you can't uninstall hangouts because it's a system app, and turning off dond't let you install talk.
Your apk works fine on my phone.
The only way to uninstall a system app is to have root access

Google wallet on any rom 4.0.3 and higher, and any country!

Hey guys just wanted to share with you the simplest way to get Google wallet working on the Verizon galaxy nexus and presumably other devices with NFC but i cant test that. This should also work in other countries but again i cant test that. If someone could test this theory out for me that would be great!

Google wallet: Pulled the apk right from Mmuzzys latest 4.2 AOSP rom View attachment Wallet-From-Muzzy.zip Not sure if it actually works cuz i havnt had time to test it. (extract and install apk)

Latest one from Nexus 4 View attachment Wallet.apk.zip (Thanks Chewybang and jyeley5)
You should be able to get it from the store after you fake your settings!
Market enabler available here http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/
Steps:
1. Make sure you have root
2. Make sure you have the Google Wallet APK
3. Make sure you have market enabler downloaded and installed
4. Open market enabler and go to the middle tab where it says "Settings List" Then select "[us] T-Mobile (T-Mobile)" tap and hold on it. A box will appear and choose "Fake this provider now"
5. Go open google wallet and set it up!
If you want to restore your settings go to the "actual" tab and click "restore settings" This does not really need to be done because they will restore to stock on boot.
In my testing you do not have to set the settings on boot, because GWallet only checks your carrier settings once.
If you have any problems please report.
I take no credit for this, i simply found the app and figured out how to use it. Please donate to this Dev and help him out!
UPDATE 11/14/2012
This thread is not finished, i am going to add for info, pictures, tutorials, APKs etc but i currently have a full arm cast which makes typing and using the computer VERY hard.
Thanks
Sorry for the bad looking thread. I am kinda new to this thread/tutorial thing.
google wallet works fine on mine without doing all that, i just sideloaded it and set it up, the only "warning" i get is that my phone is rooted and wallet suggests to not have that lol
i followed your directions to the T and it didnt work for me. gnex running aokp jb milestone
update.. im wrong, it does work im seeing that warning sign of that im rooted but it does work...
thank for the heads on this!

So the app simply wont open? Or does it open and give you the google wallet does not work with your carrier or in your country error?

What version of android are you running?

[Signed] S-Voice to S2 ODEXED

Hey Ppl
Ported S-voice App from S2 Plus (newest S-Voice version)
Fully work on S2 Stock Odexed
Instruction:
First Download the s-voice-s2+-signed.zip
Extract and install FIRST S-Voice-setup.zip (CWM)
After installing, you will not see the icons yet.
Now you install the s-voice_android_phone.apk
And voila, now you have S-Voice on your S2.
Known bugs:
Wakeup Commands does not work [FC](I think this is a S2 problem and not S-voice bugs)
"An unexpected server error occurred" on logical question, is a error from Samsung server.

Can u make it for Deodexed Stock 4.1.2 ??
installed and works but the functions are very limited.
You can only ask to do simple stuff like setting an alarm, messaging and etc.
When asked logical questions (i.e who is the president of US, or how old is someone, etc , etc) it just says there's a server error.
Well thank god we have google now
then I restore my phone and then I just install your APK and everything is ok, of course I uninstall voice commands with titanium backup before

I found the problem. My sister has the S3 mini with S-Voice as stock, and says the same "An unexpected server error occurred", so i think this is a server problem from samsung´s server.
Thanks for the porting.. but i have a problem... everytimes i reboot my phone i have to re-install apk otherwise it doesn't work (it says "Server error, retry", while after i re install the apk it works perfectly).. Could fix this problem? thanks again..
Works with deodexed roms?
Edit: tested and works

I solved myself here the procedure for who has my issue:
1. install via CWM the zip file
2. delete with a root file manager the original SVoice.apk on system/app (mount R/W before)
3. copy the apk in system/app and apply the authorization rw--r--r
4. done
​
i think the issue is a free space in system folder
s voice setup is 80 mb

Hi folks,
I have try to install lots of versions of whatsapp for my wifes nokia xl but non work. I had one that worked but then it said it not supported any more and stoped working.

Thanks.

lastest official whatsapp from playstore works just fine. it just showed device not supported when u open it directly, but if u create a shortcut or widget of any whatsapp contact or group on homescreen then u can open and use it from there. or open it from fastlane history.
I will give it a try. Thanks.

there seems to be some issue with build.prop for which the official updated whatsapp and fb app does not work.
I found that Baidu cloud rom beta 49, both whatsapp and fb works out of the box, no mod required.
however, stock rom and all other custom rom does not support the official apps.
the problem seems to be within the given part of build.prop file
HTML:
# begin build properties
# autogenerated by buildinfo.sh
.....
.....
# end build properties
If we replace this whole part with a build.probp of a rom which already supports ( Eg: Baidu Beta 49 build.prop) whatsapp and fb...it seems to be working.
Hit thanks if I helped you

Updated versions of Whatsapp show an error message when opened directly. But Whatsapp is still accessible in Nokia X range devices. You may use any of these possible solutions.
1. You may open Whatsapp by accessing fastlane history like mdfzhi directed. This will open the conversations directly.
2. Whatsapp+ works just fine if you follow the below steps.
-> Install Whatsapp
-> Open it through fastlane history and send some whatsapp messages to friends
-> And it is better if u make a message backup
-> Uninstall Whatsapp
-> Install Whatsapp+
3. Changing the build.prop file might fix the problem but it might lead to unwanted issues later. Inorder to change the build.prop you would have to root your phone, which voids warranty. If you are willing to take the risk, it is better advised that you install a custom rom rather than trying to just change the build.prop file.
Considering your problem, I would recommend using the 2nd method by installing whatsapp plus. This might solve your problem.
Solved

Thanks. They all are working. Just uninstall old apps before.
I was also trying to use the apps - besides the messenger app (note its not hangouts! - its the new sms application). the other apps don`t work for me. The installer complains that another application is already installed.

also some of these apps require you to be using ART instead of dalvik or the app will crash

[Q] App question

Hi.
First of all I want to thank everyone for their effort.
I just installed Android Kitkat 4.4 on my Samsung Wave 2 phone from this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2800014 , and I was wondering if it is possible to get a couple of apps installed or even Google Play itself since it's missing from the OS or I don't know how to enable it?
Thanks in advance and sorry if I posted in the wrong section.

Just install google apps, it makes phone laggy but add playstore.
All infos are in OP.
Other method is to install apk manually with adb or a file explorer.
