Very Material-y. The Explore button is actually useful now. Gives you suggestions based on category and driving limits (eg I tell it I only want to drive 10 minutes in the Lunch catagory).

The new Calendar from apkmirror doesn't update my old Calendar, it just installs alongside it. Weird. Maps and Gmail behaved as expected, I dunno why Calendar doesn't.

Oh well, I'll just wait for the official rollout :sigh:

You know what would be really crucial to Google Maps? When I navigate somewhere, if I could download and cache the entire route to my phone. I had Maps take me on a scenic route through middle of nowhere PA and was without service for well over an hour (go TMobile). At some point, it ran out of map, and none could be downloaded. The route pretty much poo poo itself right there and it had no idea where I was in relation to the map. Luckily I have CoPilot GPS on my phone, but honestly. This thing shouldn't just anticipate that it will download more map as it goes.





I hope so. I keep getting group texts, as recently as Nov 3rd, where I do not get the original text, but then I get the responses to it from separate individuals.

This is impossible, they have the same package name so you can't have both installed. What device? The calendar app you already have installed is probably some OEM-provided thing.

When the Calendar app was first released to the Play store, it was a different package name than the original Google Calendar. He could very well be on an old enough phone/installation.

I have the same thing on my droid maxx.. but that was a long while back when Calendar first started to update (before material etc). I had to go in and disable the Moto OEM calendar, which looked just like the google calendar making it hard to disable the right one. I don't know what moto changed, I didnt notice anything different until the updates.

It's like this on my phone as well, but I was using the calendar app that came on my HTC One, never installed from the app store. At some point, probably a few months ago they were identical though based on what my other devices also had.

Honestly, the only thing I noticed that was different was that the app icon would reflect the current day.

I have a 2013 Moto X and when I was looking to download the new version of Calendar, I downloaded "Google Calendar" from the Play Store. I had "Calendar" with Moto's icon and "Calendar" with Google's icon after that. I manually installed the .apk of the new Calendar and they magically merged. YMMV

Moto G LTE. I'll try to look into it.

e. Sure enough, the "Calendar" on my device's not Google Calendar, but something... absolutely identical, only Moto-branded :raise:
Installed Google Calendar from the store, disabled the other Calendar and updated with the apk, everything's fine.

Yes. Unless you sideload an app that is normally not available to your device.

Interesting fact about this that I just found out today:

If you sideload an app normally not available for your device, and then the app is later updated to include your device, you'll start getting updates for it in the Play Store.

I sideloaded My Disney Experience - WDW onto my Nexus 7, because it wasn't listed as compatible with anything that wasn't a phone. Today, they updated the app to support tablets up to 7", and it showed up as having an update for me.

I installed a whatsapp update today and now everyone can see two ticks on their message to me confirming I read their message and when I did so.


I really do not want this feature at all, and want the freedom to respond to people whenever I want to back. There doesn't seem to be a way to disable it under settings. Anyone know which version should I roll back to to disable this ?

There should be a way to disable this. You have to untick something called "Show last online time" or similar (my system language's not English so I can only guess what it would be called).

Already tried this, but it doesn't seem to do the trick.

Also I can't root the phone as my work's email/calendar app would stop working (much to my disappointment, already tried once).

I believe there is a modded version that does this; Whatsapp+. I don't think it's shady but I may be wrong (or end up being wrong). The other downside is that you'll have to sideload it for every update as it doesn't live in the playstore

I installed the new calendar on my N5 running the 5.0 preview. It did not replace stock calendar. There are two icons in the app drawer. In fact I get two notifications now for events, one with the stock calendar icon and one with the new calendar icon.

New calendar *looks* better, but I have yet to truly test out any features beyond "add/edit event."

That's because the L preview doesn't have the google calendar natively, its the AOSP calendar from before they divorced it into the Play Store.

I love that everyone is replying to me with claims that Google Calendar didn't replace their installed version of Not Google Calendar as if that isn't exactly what I said was happening in the very post that they are quoting.

Android apps are really simple, they have a package name. Same package name = update. Different package name = separate install.

Yup, which is why I left it out and mentioned that I shouldn't have high hopes.

If they can bridge Keep with Inbox/Calendar/Now on both web and phone and get sharing Keep's notes/lists working, that's a hell of a good/polished/modern overlapping app platform that should have been set up right after Google's big privacy policy revision scare.

I haven't gotten the new Calendar apk yet, is the way sharing works on that a good solution that Keep could make use of?
I can't get Inbox or Now reminders to show in either Calendar and it certainly doesn't show them on the web.
