The Galaxy Note 2 does not have Android 4.4 KitKat support yet. Even the 4.3 builds aren't official as of the time of this posting. You should only install apk files compatible with your version of Android.

This is not true. I'm using the 4.4 keyboard, launcher, email, and hangouts on the stock rooted Verizon rom

I have installed some of the leaked APKs with no problem. I'm currently using the updated keyboard and hangouts with no problems.
OP - what were you trying to install and where did you get the files?
I have used these with no problems. http://www.droid-life.com/2013/10/31/download-new-google-apps-from-the-nexus-5-dump-search-launcher-and-more/

1st file I tried to install was play services and 2nd was velvet. I gave up when neither worked. The velvet file came from brokenmanradio and play services I got from the general forum here

SwiftKey 3 Beta Updated to 3.0.0.190

Download links inside...IMO it's the best on-screen touch keybaord on the market currently. Obviously it's all a matter of taste, but I've used everything and love the predictive typing way too much.

How do you install this? The last beta was just a apk. I unzipped and just a bunch of files.

thats not because of this. its usually from free apps. most roms have ad blocking host files so idk
The weird thing is that I just did a fresh flash of cleanrom DE and this is the only app I installed. I didn't restore from a backup or download any other market apps.

It turns out that the market auto installed my apps for a change. It doesn't look like swiftkey was the problem

now its more of looking and seeing which free app is giving you the ads
You can just download the airpush opt out app and it will stop the ads in the notification bar

If I root my s4 will we get the optical reader back along with other features Verizon removed?

Nope, rooting doesn't add anything except the root access binaries and the SuperSU app that lets you give apps root permissions.
Are there any roms available that restore this feature?

There are quite a few ROMS in the Development Sections - check them out and see. Usually the first post in each topic details what's in the ROM.

Go here on your phone if you don't have Samsung Apps installed and install it
Search CamCard in the Samsung Apps
Install the Galaxy S IV version of CamCard
Profit

Instagram v4.0 Video??

Okay supposedly Instagram with new video feature has been rolling out for most android devices running 4.1+
I have an SGS3 and I haven't even got the update yet Htc Evo's, etc have it. I can't even view any videos from pesky iPhone users!
To anyone that has the 4.0 update, can you upload the apk and mirror it for me? Thanks
I'm interested in this too... It appears my Note II isn't supported?
Yea for whatever reason it doesn't show up for me either. Which makes no sense. SGS3 running 4.2.2
nor is my Note 1... damn it!
Supposedly using the new staged rollout feature.
Hopefully someone can grab the APK soon as iOS already has it.
They are probably going to throw out an update in a few to make it compatible for our phones

Will anyone be modifying this to work (full features) on devices that are not using JellyBean 4.1+?

[APK]Google Camera

Just a headsup to us all:
http://blog.gsmarena.com/official-google-camera-app-android-hits-play-store-new-features/
Unfortunately XZU is not listed as compatible but it works fine actually. So here's Google Camera apk hosted on my mediafire account. Enjoy!

Thanks for the mediafire upload but... I've downloaded it from the Play Store, XZU is compatible. You can download it from the store or from chrome and send it to the device without any problem.

Common issue, some 6833 can't install apps 6802 can and vice versa, edit build prop if there's an app you really want but can't install

Facebook badge notification missing

I remember at some point before some software updates the Facebook app used to be show notifications via the little round badge on the top-right of the app icon. It hasn't been working since I did an update (not sure what version it was). In the app permission info this function is still listed there. Do you guys have the same issue too?

Not sure how this is related to the xzu.... Are you using a stock ROM? If so get rid of the xperia social media bloat and download them manually from the play store.

Brah I think you're the only one who uses that on this site.
Anyways I'm not sure if you can downgrade an update, but what you can do is flash an earlier version of your ROM and then disable/ignore the updates
So knowing what version of Android you're using would help.

Thanks for the suggestion but I wont go as far to flashing/downgrading the rom to get a feature back. I am on the latest 5.1.1 build.
