Obvious thanks to the original link.

Awesome, thanks! Runs nicely on my S4 using 4.3. New launcher is pretty slick actually!

Yeah the launcher is really nice, I just can't cope without having folders in the app drawer though

All very welcome, I've just got round to stealing my N4 back & installing Kitkat. Really nice experience at the moment!

God forbid a company releases an app for a specific phone and it doesn't work on every phone ever made.

At least give them the chance to develop it for your device.

Set voice search to US not UK?

thecremeegg · 1 Nov 2013 at 17:02

Really want the dialler and contacts apk, anyone seen them?

thecremeegg · 1 Nov 2013 at 18:32

Oh and the new voice search is amazing!

Via Google Now?
It's faster!

james.miller · 1 Nov 2013 at 19:41

Yea definately, and gets better results

I don't like the new launcher but I never liked a any stock launcher anyway though. Hangouts now supports animated gifs too.

Nexus Media Importer - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.homeysoft.nexususb.importer&hl=en_GB

I have it running on my un-rooted nexus 7 and it does exactly what it says on the tin

Excellent! I had been looking for it but often if an app isn't available in Channel Islands it isn't even displayed in the store.

I'm in Croatia at the moment so have been buying apps like there's no tomorrow! Shame those apps that give a workaround to be able to use the app store don't work on unrooted devices

What video player do you guys recommend for watching films on the nexus 7?
I'm using the stock Google Play Movies at the moment but it's annoying me that when I browse personal videos none of my files show the names...

mrk · 2 Nov 2013 at 19:08

BSPlayer is my favourite but MX supports the ac3 codec so movies and TV shows will play properly so that gets my vote for the moment.

What's a good podcast manager? Something that can download the episodes automatically when they are available, and then delete them once I've listened to them. Don't really need anything else, and preferably a free option, but if I'd need to pay a little then that's not the end of the world.

Thanks!
