Android 4.4 Kit Kat


Today was an exciting day in the world of Android. Google unveiled its new Android version alongside the Nexus 5 – Android 4.4 KitKat – and in what follows we’re going to tell you everything you need to know about it.


Download new Hangouts, Google Launcher and the Nexus 5 wallpaper
Ron Amadeo began pulling things out of the Nexus 5. These include various APKs, wallpapers, etc and has posted them to the public for everyone to view, download, and install. If you’re having trouble keeping up, here’s what’s been extracted so far.
(P/S: if google+ download link doesn't work due to busy traffic, search alternate download link at comment section in Ron Amadeo page instead)

On top of all the goodies listed above, Phandroid managed to get the launcher extracted and uploaded. To use, you must download all three APKs they have listed. You may run into an error where the Voice Search will force close. Solution is here to help you (root required).
  • Head to this XDA post.
  • Download the libgoogle_recognizer_ini_I.zip
  • Once downloaded, extract the file.
  • Move the file to /system/lib
  • Voice Search will Force Close one more time. When it’s done, it should work flawlessly.
