There's been no Changelog posted so I guess this update is for those who experienced the "Package file is invalid" error. I'm not 100% sure about that though as I didn't have any problems.

It's the same for all devices? I ask because I have never installed Google Play manually.

Give me the old Google Play Store back!! This thing sucks! It prompts me when I do an "Update All" when I have app updates and if I don't have "allow automatic updating" checked. Talk about annoying! Also, this thing has borked my app updates and any new installs as well. Google really laid a turd with this Play Store update!!

You can install a previous version from my other thread here but I'm guessing it'll auto-update to the newest version anyway. You can try it if you like though

I got it via the auto update anyway, so I'm guessing fighting it at this point is futile.

v4.3.11 is now available for download from the OP

v4.4.21 is now available for download from the OP

v4.4.22 is now available for download from the OP

I'm a couple of days late this time around (as I've been inactive over the last few days) but v4.6.16 is now available for download from the OP

Hey asus why embedding " hot downloads " on asus launchers...located on screen/ preferences.. Are you not already contented of battery drainage?...bloatwares...and you decided to put it on asus launchers..pls remove it! Guys did you saw it? I actually saw it just now..
************************************

Just appeared on my homescreen too adware embedded in stock launcher, that is seriously not cool
---------- Post added at 12:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 PM ----------
I have complained about this and asked for it to be removed on the Zentalk forum suggestions section.

Can you post a screenshot? I don't see any ads.

I also saw this after the most recent launcher app update and removed the icon, but don't see anything in my app drawer.

Not in the app drawer, it's actually embedded in the preferences bit of the launcher settings (brought up by long pressing the homescreen)

Just saw your screenshots, and that's what I saw yesterday after the update. Not very cool, imo. There's no need for that other than to make more money (which is a fine motive, I guess).

now i uninstalled the updates on asus launchers..now the hot downloads gone...nice asus now im back to apex untill they get rid of these hot downloads ads on asus launchers itself...

Wtf....is this shows up on WW version....everyone should 1 star both the launcher and every app that shows up in the play store....and also mass complain to Asus...

Yes, get on Zentalk and get complaining people. ASUS need to know we don't like this crap.

What version is this on? Dont see it on mines

ActionLauncher 3 is the best Lollipop and above launcher anyway. Never used the ASUS one.

Stock launchers are never great, Nova Prime took over 5 minutes I had my ZF2, been good since then. Samsung was the worst for their launcher, sluggish as heck.

It popped up on mine after the update today....I sent it to trash immediately but this is bogus....yes we should all get on Zentalk and complain...

true we have to complain this on zentalk..its too much! adds on the phone we paid for $ 300? wtf!

I saw an Ad the very first time i watched a video on YouTube but since then ive rooted and used adblock so i dont know if its a one time thing or a repetitive thing.

that only appears when you update your asus launcher to latest version

I am on the latest version and don't see it, maybe its because i'm rooted and deleted most bloatware already?

I've updated to the latest version & all I see is "Enable Hot Downloads" which I don't do... so no ads.

It took a while for the icon to eventually show up for me, but it was at a random time returning to home that triggered it after I updated.
There's a growing thread on their ZenTalk forum. Anyone that wants to join stating their dislike of this can find the thread in the Suggestion -> ZenFone section with the title [Launcher] Hot Downloads embedded in Zen UI Launcher.
Unfortunately my XDA account is too new to provide a direct link.

Still Don't Have New Android Messages Material Design?

I still don't have the new updated white look for Android Messages. I still have the one with the blue at top. Anything I can do to get the update?

Not sure if it's out yet, I haven't seen anything about that. I know XDA had a write up on how to enable it but if it was killed from memory it went back to the old way

You can obviously do the APK method but then you won't get updates from Play store for your Android messages App

Is that so? APK Mirror say you will?

I don't think anyone has it enabled and downloading the latest from APK isn't going to help:

No you will still get Playstore updates as long as they are a newer version then the one you sideloaded.

This is available now. You can get it from APK mirror
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/messenger-google-inc/messenger-google-inc-3-5-048-release/

The APK method does work and will get updates - it's the same APK you'd get from the play store.
Once installed, force-close the app and you should have the new interface next time you open it.

Force stopping the app and opening it again worked for me

This is awesome! Now just for Gmail. I can't stand the stupid 5 year old kid crayon colors Google's been using... BUT, what the hell happened to the widget??? Mine disappeared, and there is no widget to select now either... This is NOT okay.

The dark mode option is such a tease. System wide dark mode please!
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

I can assume this is the correct APK for the Pixel 2 XL?
Yeah it's the right one.. Also, if you use messages on the web, it matches!

Soooo, I changed my wallpaper, and now the new look is gone. Seriously. I've force closed, cleared cache, rebooted, nothing will bring it back. What. The. Eff... Maybe it wasn't turned on correctly on the server side with this update? Anyone else have this problem? I really miss it, but I went back one version and have my widget back. Not sure which I want more...

I installed the apk from apkmirror, forced closed and it was there, for 2 days..... It has since reverted back to the old layout with no dark mode option. Anyone else?

Same here as well. The new material design simply disappeared and reverted back to the previous layout

Google App (Beta) ... Weather Disappearing

Are their any Pixel 3XL owners who are on the Google Beta Program? My weather information continues to disappear in the "At A Glance" section. If you've experienced this are there any workarounds aside from unenrolling from the Beta program?

my understanding was this was a server-side issue last time it occurred....but I could be wrong.....I am in beta program and yes have lost weather as of yesterday afternoon. When this happened last month it was all Home devices but my other ones are showing weather still...

If you uninstall the update the weather will come back. If you reinstall the beta update it will work again only for a short time and then will disappear again.

Yeah. On a different, yet related note, I noticed that when in the current Google beta program, long pressing my Pixel Buds and asking for the time or what the weather's going to be like didn't illicit a response, yet asking to play the next track or tell me what's on my agenda would work just fine. When I unenrolled from the program and used the regular Google app everything worked fine. Weird, huh?? I wanted to stay in the beta program so I could use and listen to the Google Podcasts app on my wireless Android Auto Pioneer Nex4400 Unit. I can't do that on the regular Google app

I was on Beta of Google app and my weather disappeared 2 days ago. Funny, I was just searching about this very subject. I had to uninstall the beta version and install standard version then weather showed right away. You can always put the weather app on your homescreen but it takes up more space.

Left the beta today because of this. I want my weather to be there for easy access on the main screen. If and when they fix it, then maybe I'll come back to the beta. Not that they care...lol.

i just added a shortcut on the homescreen until it magically comes back good enuf for me.

Really? "Not that they care". It's beta for a reason. Some stuff isn't going to work correctly. If they didn't care they wouldn't release beta's. It's how Google figures out what if any adverse effects any changes they made have in the real world.

I meant that not that they care if I'm on the beta or not. I'm a software developer myself, I know what "beta" means. I just don't like missing options I use daily.

I believe the new beta that just came out today, v9.0.3.21 solves the weather problem.

nope still broken here after getting the latest beta....

Yep same here with the latest beta

I'm using Lawnchair launcher and the weather is working as it should.

Updated to latest beta, still no weather
Delete cache, uninstall, reboot and re-install latest beta. end up still no beta, guess i have to leave beta program?

Yeah, that's what I did. I joined again after hearing there was a new update, but it seems like it did not fix according to those here. Mine is still showing weather, but the bug usually causes it to leave after some time. Guess we'll see. If it goes away again, I'll leave the beta again I guess. I like being a member of the beta and getting the new features first, but I do like having the weather there as well.
Edit: Nope. Weather went away again. Oh well, leave the beta again...

11 minutes ago, updated to the latest beta version 9.0.4.21 and still no fix in sight. did a cache clear and reboot

Update 9.0.4.21 bring weather back. Just updated, no clearing of cache or something

Ok, i am correcting myself
I did a cache clear, uninstall update and reboot my phone. Finally updated to the latest beta 9.0.4.21 and the weather is back.
Edit:
The weather wont update, so i found a solution in reddit
Swipe right to get to the Google screen, then tapping the 3 dots > settings > discover > reset discover preferences.
Hope that helps

Question Favorites Flashing when opening Phone App

Since the latest update, when I open the phone app for the first time (or after it shuts down from timeout), a few of my favorites seem to "flash". If this doesn't make sense, I'll try to post attach a video later tonight. Can anyone tell me why this is and how to disable it?
Instructions to reproduce: Click favorites on phone app so it is first to display on reopening. Force close phone app. Open phone app.

So, after playing with this more, I found out that this only happens when I'm signed in to my Duo account. The contacts that flash don't seem to coincide with those who have Duo access, especially since one of the accounts that flash is a landline only account.
So far, I haven't been able to find a fix or a way to disable this. It is super annoying when I'm used to just opening the phone app and clicking on a favorite, only to have it fail because the favorite flashed and didn't capture the touch input.

I agree this is due to Duo....havent looked into it, but yeah its a bit annoying IMHO too!

Seems to be solved in the latest update of the dialer app (I received it this morning): 76.0.431816759
