Try installing the new Google+

I'm running the new g+ already, that's why I asked.
Now that I look, I don't think that new version has been released yet.

[Q] Android L

Hi guys i have a galaxy s2 i9100 and wanted to ask that since i run on 4.4.4 with c-rom, android l has changed the design of playstore, google play apps such as play books and games, gmail and many others. but i wanted to ask that will google update those apps for 4.4.4 users with android l like design because thats what i heard, as google looks new in android l they might change the design, i mean the design has been the same since 4.0 ice cream sandwich and just changing the design of apps in android l is weird but what do you think will they update google apps with new android l animations for everyone lower than L?

In time Google will update the core Google apps but keep in mind that Google stated the Android L preview is just a preview and the design and UI of the apps are subject to change before the final release. The apps will be updated for devices below Android L but the updates UI won't arrive likely until the final release of Android L.

[Q] Stock Android on my Samsung Tablet?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 LTE Edition, and I was wondering if I can install stock Android on it without loosing S-pen Driver support. Also I'm not getting the KitKat Update because I'm currently living in Greece, even though I'm using the GUI in English, so that kinda annoys me. Anyway, I hope there's a solution.:good:

Cyanogenmod is about as close as you are going to get to stock Android for it. S Pen works, but you won't have any built-in S-Note or handwriting keyboard type stuff. You will need 3rd party app replacements. As far as the update, it's pretty common for them not to get auto-updates if you are in a different region and they haven't pushed out the OTA there. It's best to update via the computer anyway as it creates less issues generally.

On cyanogen mods website they state only the original Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, not 2014 edition are supported. Also, can't I use the Samsung S-pen apps if I port them over to CM? And lastly - how can I update via the computer. THx

No. They're usually tied to the TouchWiz framework and it's hard to nearly impossible to get many Samsung apps working properly on non TouchWiz roms.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ Search for P605 and download the one you want for the region the tablet is original from or if you have a rom picked out and they suggest a different base to have installed first, use that one. Instructions will be the same either way. You can follow the guide here:
http://www.howtoroot.mobi/2014/06/flash-p605xxucne2-android-442-kit-kat.html
Or any of the other 1000s of guides for how to update via Odin on here, any other Android phone/tablet forum, YouTube, etc.

Anyone Try on S4? -- Tile (tileappp.com) Android App Now Available

The android app for Tile (thetileapp.com) is ready but doesn't officially support the Galaxy S4 (thetileapp.com/android). Their android page does say that as long as your device is running 4.4 or higher and has Bluetooth 4.0 it will probably work.
Has anyone tried it on their S4?
yes
yup, got mine today. works on s4

DNS changing?

Any help would be great
I just got a nexus 9 after having a nexus 10 plus using a few other tablets
I can use an app called WiFi settings to change my country for Netflix on my nexus 10 stock unrooted 5.1.1
I can not find away to do the same with the nexus 9 I'm guessing it's an android 6.0 thing?
Does anyone know if it's possible to do?
I didn't want to root as I won't be able to run one other app I want to use if I do
Thanks
