Will they keep the awful and outdated "Menu [Home] Back"? Or will they use "Back [Home] Recent apps"?

hey i just went onto Google music and it's telling me I can try all access. Might as well try it for free in late june so I can actually make good use of it. For the ones outside of USA, does it work for you guys?

So, play music looks awesome, and desktop G+ looks like a mix between the G+ tablet UI and Desktop UI, but vertical. [editline]15th May 2013[/editline] Also, I can't do 10 bucks a month for music. Sorry, Google, I love you, but spotify is just as good and it's free.
I still can't access the Play Music equalizer! Goddamnit Google!
So t is play games? Like is it an app I can download, a desktop thing, or a software system for devs?
It's an API that developers can build games around. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_programming_interface[/URL]
I was waiting for them to announce Google Music in Canada... Though nothing. So fuck them. But then... I installed hangouts. [img]http://puu.sh/2Ucjb.jpg[/img] We don't even get a fucking flag.
Honestly, almost nobody got a flag.

[img]http://puu.sh/2Ucjb.jpg[/img] We don't even get a fucking flag.[/QUOTE] I'm happy that I got Google Music working through a proxy almost a year ago because now you need an American credit card so it wouldn't work anymore. I rarely use Google Music because... -I like my PowerAMP (a lot), I couldn't get that FUSE hack thingy working (unless there's a new one or it could have worked or something) so if PowerAMP had Google Music access, that would be awesome -no equalizer, seriously I can't find it and I've looked everywhere. It's just vanished in thin air for almost a year -I can't buy shit even though I want to -No access to that all access thingy but then again it's rather costly and I probably won't use it. [editline]15th May 2013[/editline] Also wow, didn't notice that. And where is that screenshot from, the web version because I get a nice dark theme on the android app.
I/O wasn't a bust after all, "Just announced moments ago at Google I/O - the updated Bluetooth stack in Android API 18 (available "in a couple months") will include AVRCP 1.3" Woo, using my phone with my car stereo won't suck so bad.
I realized that Hangouts is just all of Google's messaging stuff in one (so Talk, G+ Messenger) and not Voice so no free SMS. It's unified "Google messaging", so no Skype or anything like that. It's just Google.

Fuck having to go over two other buttons for the most used button (back), and fuck a dedicated button for recent apps, I use it almost never and I use my menu button all the time.

If it's on-screen then I wouldn't have to tap and hold anything.

This is wishful thinking, but it would be spectacular if radio files could be pulled off the Nexus S4 to improve signal quality in CyanogenMod and other AOSP roms.
Hurr the GS4 is too expensive the nexus 4 only cost £240 durrr Comparing a device that is a year old and had no mark up that was apparently being sold at less than cost to a new device sold with a mark up

Fuck having to go over two other buttons for the most used button (back), and fuck a dedicated button for recent apps, I use it almost never and I use my menu button all the time.[/QUOTE] Gonna have to completely disagree here, the menu button is utterly useless. I have Galaxy Nexus, which only pops-up a menu button in apps designed for GB that use it (which for me is only the facebook app), otherwise on a phone without a physical menu button it just pops-up in the action bar at the top of the app, which actually gives you visual feedback that the app has settings available rather than the crapshoot you get with a physical menu button. The recent apps button is incredibly useful, since I can switch between active apps in less than a second, having to hold down the home button makes it feel faster to just go back to the homescreen and open it there (Hence the reason you almost never use the functionality, and I use it constantly). The menu button is one of the main reasons why I would never buy an S4 unless I was putting CM10 on it, since you can rebind the buttons.
