there isnt one. widgets will be like before, a long press on the home screen brings up a menu where you can chose widgets.
I'm excited, I'll be getting it at launch.
It's a very well designed device from the looks of it.
As for the video, I wish he would've shown more of what's new in 4.4.
I know what YouTube, earth, chrome, calendar, the play store and keep look like...
I would've liked to have seen more of the new launcher and how widgets are added, the new way search is handled, etc.

I think this is an earlier build of kitkat, it has the old youtube and the version number says KeyLimePie. The screenshots that were leaked seem to show the more updated version.
Edit - as said in video description

I'm not too happy with this if that is the case. Hangouts has far to many hiccups and slowdowns to be my sole messaging app.

ill be honest with you, i feel the same way about hangouts. ive been replacing hangouts with gtalk until about a month ago, for that exact reason. hangouts did slightly improve, thats why im using it now, but it is not the best app. oddly, it runs quick without issues on my nexus 7, and on my friends note 2. but on the n4, it has issues. hopefully its update will correct that for the n4, and hopefully it runs as perfect on the n5 as it does on my n7.

I am pretty sure that Google has smoothened out the hiccups you speak of. I for one think that the Hangouts and SMS merge is a smart one. I bet users who has never used Hangout will now get familiar with it.

I just hope they give some options to hide groups of people and separate sms chats from hangouts. I don't need everyone from Google+ showing up. Most I don't talk to, but like to follow for news ect.

sadly it looks like this confirms that the battery is not removeable. that blows! thats actually a deal breaker for me i think.
I dont like this phone's design. I love Nexus 4's design .
If nexus 5's battery is 3000 mah, then I can Buy a nexus 5.

This is killing me.
The phone looks so beautiful :angel:
So, I'm confused about the emoji on our phones.
It looks kinda like the emoji I'm used to, but did they re-skin all the icons to a new look?
And if it is emoji, why can't my wife see it on her Galaxy S4? And when I get emoji from my buddy's S4, all I see is a square.
I can send and receive the emojis from the keyboard fine. Are you using the ones where you long press the microphone button and pick the emoji keyboard?

Yup, those are the ones I am using.
Stock keyboard & stock texting app
EDIT:
So, when I send them to people with GoSMS, they can see the emoji. However, I can't see theirs.
Sending emoji to my wife's S4 (which just has the stock texting app) only show up as squares.

The phone sends the Samsung Emoji as MMS Messages thus anyone can see them... it does not covert iPhone Emoji to be visible... however since you are using GoSMS, go in the Play Store and download the GoSMS Emoji plugin and problem solved... you can send and receive real Emoji in GoSMS with it.
Ugh, I have no idea why after all these years no stock Android texting app has native emoji support. So I guess Samsung thought sending little pictures instead of integrating emoji was a good idea?
Idiots.
I used to use GoSMS on my S3, but I have no interest installing it again given all the ads and crap they've added. I guess I'll live with looking at squares when people send them to me.

Has anybody tried handcent? I know it has emoji capabilities. I am in the process of deciding which texting app I want to go with.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
note 3 displays emojis just fine. and can send emojis. its built right in.
handcent works great
Since I have a houseful of women (wife, teenage girls) with Iphones, having Iphone compatible emoji support was a must. Handcent works great! just install the emoji plugin, and all will be great! No Ads, just a great client (especially since they fixed the MMS problem I was having with my Note 3/ATT).

Okay, I switched to that. It didn't change messaged from the past, but I hope that it fixes it going forward. I'll post back after I get some messaged from the next person that sends me some.

Try Chomp SMS. Using it now and everything works great. Make sure you install the emoji plugin and themes plugin too.

I have used handcent in the past. That along with GO and Chomp I'm sure they all 3 work fine. I would like to keep using the stock app because of multi window. Is that silly of me? Am I missing out by not using a 3rd party app? Thanks for all the advice everybody!

If you are rooted you can use the multiwindow manager app and add any of the 3rd party apps to it. I've done it with Chomp before.
I am going to possibly buy a gear I just have a quick question l did some googling but could not find a solid answer. ..I see that with the recent update the gear will show notifications from a third party application like evolve sms. ..or go sms...but the question is can I reply to the messages either via voice or by a side loaded keyboard. ..I do not mind to root the thing I just don't really see a point for me to get one if in order for me to reply to a quick text or email I have to take the phone out of my pocket. .. oh yeah in case it matters I have a note 2 tmo version running DN3

No you cant reply to any third party SMS using voice/keyboard.
If order to reply you must be using the stock SMS app.

you can use tablet talk to pair with your phone and with the keyboard installed you can then reply back to text messages which are relayed to your gear thru tablet talk.

You should be able to perform the tablet talk paring on stock gear no root needed. Great things await once u jump on board with null. Once you try null you will never go back. If you want go to null's website and sign up for the chat. Some awesome folks there to help you decide. Just click on fomeys signature.
okay thanks i looked at the site and it looks amazing one more question does an app like tablet talk work with third party sms apps like Textra
Boy Samsung really knows how to advertise very well lol.
Looks like the stock TW messaging app has gotten an overhaul (see the popup at 2:35)?? I don't know though, since i use EvolveSMS. Can't wait.... April 11th!! Although I might wait a month and see if the S5 Prime is real lol. Nonetheless, I can't wait to get this phone and not pay anything myself

That popup at 2:35 is from ChatOn, not from the messaging app. If you look at the top left corner you can see the ChatOn logo quite clearly.

I love the stock messenger app, it has everything I need.
Go sms has pop up too if you prefer that.
Sent from my SM-P600 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
For now, stock app until I find something I like better.
I was using Textra on my S3 but it didn't want to work well with kitkat so I went to hangouts. I think hangouts could be a really good app, but right now its terrible in the way its organized. Contacts are a mess to sort through, and every google account you have has the ability to send messages which makes things very difficult to manage if you end up sending messages from more than one.
I'm not a huge fan of the stock app...kind of ugly, but it works well.
I use Textra and I love it.
Thanks for the info. I will try out those. I liked the stock app but was getting lag using it. It want bad but bad enough to drive me nuts. Lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
I really liked the stock app until I imported all of my old texts from my I7777 and then the lag was unbearable. Nearly a 2 minute wait. Now I'm using Hangouts. Not as many features, but no lag.
Textra
EvovleSMS (this is the one I use)
HelloSMS
I tried all the popular ones...Go SMS, Textra, hello SMS, Hangouts, Evolve, etc. Hated all of them. I ended up sticking with chomp SMS. It's from the same developer that made biteSMS for the jailbroken iPhone, so I'm familiar with it. Plus, you can customize the theme to your liking. It has all the popular features: popups, quick reply/compose, delay sending, scheduled sending, privacy, etc.
Ever since my SGS 2, I always end up back with Textra. Black theme. Light, fast, actively developed and has all the necessary features. It's not overblown and just does it's job well.
I've been using Chomp for a long time and have been very happy with it. I've been trying out the stock messaging app for a few days, compared to past Samsung messaging apps, I'm impressed, but I'll probably be installing Chomp again soon...
Are there any messaging apps or themes for a messaging app that would make it flat? No matter how much I edit Chomp or Textra it just still doesn't look flat.

I use hangouts as my stock mainly because I can directly chat with my Google contacts. I have little reception where I live but still have WiFi so I can message my friends with android over a hangout instead of an SMS. I also very much like the layout and Android Emojis. I never liked textra, chomp, or handcent.

using stock messaging app here , rooted with twrp recovery , I have popup enabled when I get a msg and phone is locked (swipe to unlock set) I click the msg but then the phone lags at the lock screen ,and hangs. anyone else having problems with this ? or know a way to correct it ?
to get out of it I have to swipe to unlock then open up the messaging app it wont let me click the msg I got from the lock screen .
Was using ChompSMS but was getting a bit slow, switched to EvolveSMS but it's still really buggy, using Textra now. Slim, fast, quick reply / compose and not bogged down with tons of settings. Simple theme & emoji setup too. Be sure to download Textra emojis from app store.
since we are discussing the messaging apps, has anyone been getting random message alerts on old messages in the stock app? Phone was sitting on the counter last night charging and I heard it go off. Came out to find an alert for a message from tuesday that had already been read. Had this happen once before as well...alert on a previous read message. Never seen anything like it
From the sound of your needs, it seems like the stock app would suit your needs best. Why not use it? I don't really understand why some people seem to force themselves to use third party apps if the native ones work fine. :what:
