That probably won't happen, Google wants to run everything using Chrome and chrome extensions.
[QUOTE=Nalty;44980273]why on earth have you replaced the recent apps button with a menu button you god damn traitor to the holo way of life[/QUOTE]
because the menu button is more practical?
recent apps doesn't deserve its own button imo
[QUOTE=LordCrypto;44979575]so apparently new ios+mac os will allow you to actually sms from your computer and take calls on your computer using your phone as a relay
google ball is in your court[/QUOTE]
I use DeskSMS (from CWM team) which allows me to send sms from my phone over the internet, not a local broadcast.
I don't use hangouts for my SMS handler, that and DSMS has a handy api for me to play with.

Then I guess I won't be using Google products as much as I used to.
Unless someone creates a sort of [url=https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/XULRunner]XULRunner[/url]-alike for Chrome extensions.

People need to learn how to defer to their designers, who clearly know more than them.
"I want lots of spinny widgets and a whatnot that beeps!"
That'll be annoying.
"No it's what I want make it or you're fired!"
also, 4.4.3 is rolling out to nexus owners!
too bad i'm not stock, so i will have to wait for devs to make a 4.4.3 rom to flash, still i'm excited!
Last two days phone has been running out of battery fucking fast. Typically I come home with 70% battery left after work but now I have about 5% battery left and the culprit is [I]apparently[/I] Gmail however I have my suspicions on Xposed or ViPER.

which really is fucking bullshit because using google services on desktop sucks
an im client shouldn't use fucking half a gig of ram

They have native apps for stuff like Google drive and Google music manager so they can make a standalone Hangouts thing

I might do the same this September.... But for an iPhone 5S or 6 whenever the new one comes out..
i don't use my phones enough to justify that. i just want something that i can tether to my macbook and i found a neat plan for unlimited internet, so i'm happy with the 5c. i think it looks really nice too

i was going to go with the Moto G before, but WWDC 2014's keynote yesterday really swayed me. all of those 10.10 integrations!
just rooted and 4.4.3d my n5, and backed up using helium
so apparently you're not supposed to just copy the helium backup folder off your phone because then it breaks the metadata and it doesn't actually work for a batch restore
how exactly are you supposed to prepare for wiping your phone then unless you buy helium premium

[QUOTE=Nalty;44980228]i kinda want an iphone[/QUOTE]
I don't think I'd give up my android phone for an iPhone. I recently went from the HTC One to the HTC One M8 and it's perfect in pretty much every way which for me is a "finally" with android. I love it to bits and use it all the time.
However I am pretty convinced that if I get a new tablet, it'll be an iPad. I find Android tablets really lackluster in comparison, and none of them seem to feel as good as an iPad does (especially in the 10inch screen size front). Closest I've found is the Sony tablets. Plus Apples announcements yesterday make it pretty convincing for development as well which is neat.
It'll all come down to what google say at io really, they really need to step up tablet support to be as good as the iPad (although I imagine manufacturers play just a big part of that)
i figure this is the best place to ask, how are 3's network speeds in the uk? and is the all you can eat plan really what it says on the box? :x
Reporting my Portal experience.
Had no MOGA to play the game, used an onscreen emulator.
Game runs nice most of the time but, daamn, those portals lags a lot if they are close to eachother.
Game runs will all textures and a nice FPS most of the time (still didnt test HL2)
To run it, you need an downloaded APK of the games, GLTools and a rooted device, incase you dont own a controller, use an on-screen one.
Install GLTools with the Texture(DE)Compresser plugin
Open and select Portal (Or HL2)
Then use those configs (Configs for Galaxy Note 3 - Snapdragon 800
Optimize GLSL shaders
Use fake gpu info
Template: tegra 4
Simple mapbuffer emulation
Software VBO emulation
Use packed stencil buffer
Configs for Nexus 4 (Snapdragon 600)
activate function Optimize GLSL shaders
Use fake gpu info
Template: tegra 4
Simple mapbuffer emulation
Software VBO emulation
Use packed stencil buffer
Decode sRGB
Fix FBO Attachment sizes
Result should be this:

Had no issue with 3, download speeds are pretty much the same as every other network although they've been slow to roll out 4G but that's mostly fixed/being fixed this year. Also been on unlimited internet with them for 4 years now, not once hit a cap or anything and some months I've used GB's of transfer.
thanks, 3 it is then. i was looking at o2 but their data prices are a ripoff

I got a rooted 4.4.2 Galaxy Note 3... tried installing GLTools with the second plugin thing but after I click install and reboot it still looks the same. Still asks me to pick a plugin to install...?

Then for some reason it didnt install it, try installing via Recovery and see if it changes.
Also, i just tested HL2, Z-Fighting errors, some models are dark, fps is lower, but its playable.

My friend has download like 70gb in a month on this all you can eat, so i think it's safe to say there's no limit
awesome, any other 'unlimited' network i've used was utter bollocks.
It does actually have a limit of 1TB. So I doubt you'll be hitting that in a month on a phone..
Y'all be mad, it's all about GiffGaff.
both 3 and giffgaff have no unlimited tethering plans. :/
at least, as far as i'm aware.
