I'm using the stock Samsung keyboard and noticed that the Smileys key option only shows in certain apps. It shows in Google talk but not when typing in the messaging app where the option is quite useful. Is there a way to show the Smileys option in all apps?

(I'm reading Google Now is crashing unless you extract this file and put it in your /system/lib/). There's also a weirder solution posted on the internet: Long press the home screen, select Settings. Select Voice. Select Language to change the default. Change to another language, I choose English – UK. Hit Home. Do a Google Search. Repeat the first three steps. Change back to English – US.
I'd hold off on the OTA to update Search...then again...I don't use it.

My experience...
Copy all files into "/system/app" and set permissions to rw-r-r-.
Android 4.4 Launcher (GoogleHome.apk) (Works great! Butter smooth, nice change in functionality.) Requires Google Now (Velvet.apk) and Google Play Services (PrebuiltGmsCore.apk)
Calendar (v201308021) (Works great!)
Clock (v3.0.0) (Works great!)
Email (v6.0-893803) (I don't use, didn't try.)
Gallery (v1.1.40304) (Works, but force closes when trying to edit a photo.)
Gmail (v4.6.1) (Works great!)
Camera (v2.0.001) (Works great! Limited to 1080p video recording on Snapdragon Note 3's. 4K is not an option.)
Hangouts (v2.0.012) (Works great w/ new SMS messaging capabilities. In that regard, it can replace the stock messaging app. However, MMS's (pic messages to phone numbers) freezes the app, requiring you to clear its cache and data to get it working again. Sending the same picture to a standard Hangout recipient without a phone number, it functions without issues.)
Keep (v2.0.50) (Works great!)
Google Keyboard (v2.0.19003.893803a) (Would not work. Selected it through Android's Input Changer. While the space for the keyboard was reserved (blank white spot), the keyboard itself never displayed.)
Wallpapers (Available in both gallery apps upon copying to device's storage. Redundant, as they were already available to select as wallpapers with the KitKat launcher.)
Initially, Google Search kept crashing, even after trying the languages trick. Using the lib file recommended by @docnok63 worked perfectly. Saying, "Ok Google" from the any of your Homescreens or Google Now activates voice search. All search queries performed were successful and crash free.
(Rename the original to libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so.bak before copying.)
libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so (Tested, confirmed working! ) Copy the file into "/system/lib" and set permissions to rw-r-r-.
(Rename the original to libvideochat_jni.so.bak before copying.)
libvideochat_jni.so (Fixes video chat issues in the Hangout app. Tested, verified working.) Copy the file into "/system/lib" and set permissions to rw-r-r-. Thanks @NeoMagus
Photosphere_Fix.rar (Google Camera Photosphere FC Fix) Extract winrar archive and copy the files into "/system/lib" and set permissions to rw-r-r-.
Ok, so explain this one...
When using the Kit Kat Home Launcher... You can't change the DPI of your system, or you will constantly have the keyboard popup when you hit the home button and it goes back to the home screen..
Why is this?
For anyone having problems with search force closing. The easiest solution:
- go into your PHONE settings, (app drawer > settings. NOT Google launcher settings)
- go to language & input
- change default language to different language (I chose Spanish)
- click home
- in the Google search bar, PRESS THE MIC and do a search USING YOUR VOICE (do not type)
- after search is complete, go home again, and go into settings again (if you chose to change to Spanish, settings got renamed to Config in your app drawer).
- go to language & input
- change default language back to Englis
- "Ok Google" won't show up in the Google search bar, but saying it still works.

Having problems with kit kat launcher won't show up after install when I press home button
Edit it needs 2 other apps for it to work Google search and Google services

The two additional apps can be found by following the OP's first link. They've always been there.
Google search works great for me when searching, but saying ok Google or Google never works when trying from any home screen. Only works when I have Google now already open.

You guys may have already done this, but not knowing how experienced you are, I'll ask anyway...
Are you using Android 4.4 Launcher (GoogleHome.apk) specifically with Google Now (Velvet.apk) and Google Play Services (PrebuiltGmsCore.apk) to ensure everything functions properly? I also manually copied each file into "/system/app" and set the permissions to rw-r-r-.
Did you copy libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so into "/system/lib" and set permissions to rw-r-r-?
Note: The newest Google Play Services or Google Search (Google Now "Velvet.apk") updated from the market under JellyBean did not work properly for me. This is even after I copied the updated files from "/data/app", renamed them to their correct titles, and moved them into "/system/app". I had to use the KitKat specific files from the links provided above.
"Ok Google", only works with "English (US)" language for me. I tried "English (Canada)" as well as "English (UK)", and each time the mic in the search bar was hollow. It's not until I switch back to English (US) that the mic becomes solid. Also, while navigating to "Settings/Voice", I noticed that "Hotword detection" is only available by choosing English (US), which is the main setting that allows the app and device to listen for the phrase.

Nice write up. I got the new keyboard to work with both my N3 and my girl's S4 (although,oddly, there's less emojis on her S4 for some reason). Make sure after you install the .apk that you enable it in Settings\Languages and Input (it will be unchecked by default.) It appears as Google Keyboard - English (US).

It's built for another device with a different version of Android. Don't EXPECT everything to work flawlessly. You can look over this thread for troubleshooting help.
Has anyone flashed the new email?
Looking for some feed back on it maybe screenshots.

i dont think thats possible ...bcoz its compatible only with aosp roms
I dont know a way to remove it and use the stock dialer but you can download SwipeDialer if you want and use it instead of the samsung dialer to have the stock look.
I did the same coz the samsung dialer and contacts are slow.
I don't think there's a way to disable to set a default dialer that isn't the default Samsung dialer.
But, what you can do is go into the dialer options and have it REJECT ALL CALLS. Then, when a call comes in, you won't have all these different dialers popping up.
The default dialer and contacts apps by Samsung are terrible.
What's more terrible is that you can't even give it a rating or feedback since it's not on the store. In addition, you cannot install the Google Dialer.
Peace All...
Is there a way or mod to change the chat bubble colors of Samsung's Messages from that God awful green? I heard of Hex Installer, but you have to take on the whole entire theme. I just want to change chat bubble colors ---> and I do NOT want to use a 3red party text messaging app.
Any one know of anything that might be able to do this??

Bump, I would also like to know.
Use MOOD
Far superior to Samsung Messages and that damned Google Message app that used to be good
Try it out, you can customize bubbles, text, backgrounds (per thread!) and much more.

That app (which you didnt name) might be "far superior" than Samsung's Messages, but I have no desire to switch to it, I would prefer to keep using Samsung Messages.
But Thanks anyway

How about naming that app??
It's Mood (or mood messenger). I've used Textra, Google message, and many others. I think this is the most customizable
Anyone know a caller / Messaging combo app that supports dual sim, so it can remember the default sim for each contact.
Also the samsung messaging app, if i copy a text, then i get another window to copy the txt again which is annoying

I get what your saying about the copy. The key is using the s pen. Hold down the button and then select. Only three small dialog box will pop up.

A small update for anyone who cares....
I've moved on to another SMS app called Pulse. It allows texting both on your phone and desktop simultaneously so you can text at work and on the road.. saves my thumbs tbh. Mood is still a little more customizable but pulse is still pretty damned customizable as well and the multi platform access is a current winner for me.
I know no one asked, just thought I'd share.
Cheers, XDA!
Hi there
As the title suggests I want to change the Default storage location when I'm adding a new contact.
By mistake I chose Phone and now want to change it to my email Id but couldn't find an option in settings.
Appreciate your time.
Hi.
Try "contacts optimizer" app. It allows you to do such a thing. With the free version you can only change one contact at a time. The paid version allows to do bulk changes.
Best.

Contacts ---> Settings ---> Manage contacts ---> Default storage location
Was looking for the setting in Phone app previously.
Opened app drawer and searched for App : Contacts and there was the option.
Thank you.
