    What an ugly icon…and why would they remove the animation when sending a message? gg im reverting back to the old version because it actually uses material design.

  • snoop doge

    dammit.. a circular icon.. what is this? iOS?

    • I can’t think of any iOS apps with round icons.

      • snoop doge

        im saying iOS cause apparently Google is going to make their icons in a circular shape or rounded edges, not like the current ones, each app has different icon shape, like the play music the icon is play button but in Pixels phones its been put in a rounded edge box like iOS

      me too

      • Are either of you trying to install the arm64 version on a phone without an arm64 chip?

        • Tv

          Are the people encountering issues using either CM13 or OpenGApps? I’m encountering the same issue on an ARM64 device. At first, I thought that is was either a problem with the downloads or with APKMirror. However, I did some additional testing and I get the same parsing error with older downloads that previously installed successfully.

            Just give “Package installer” “Storage” permissions in “App permissions”. I guess OpenGApps didn’t set the permissions correctly…

            Brilliant, that fixed it. Thanks very much.

      Can you install any apk? I’m getting this error with all apks on my Nexus 5X on 7.1.1

    Still can’t delete more than one sms at a time in a conversation.

    Would be a nice replacement for Textra if it had a dark theme. That bright white is just blinding!
