New NFC capabilities through Host Card Emulation
Android 4.4 introduces new platform support for secure NFC-based transactions through Host Card Emulation (HCE), for payments, loyalty programs, card access, transit passes, and other custom services. With HCE, any app on an Android device can emulate an NFC smart card, letting users tap to initiate transactions with an app of their choice no provisioned secure element (SE) in the device is needed. Apps can also use a new Reader Mode to act as readers for HCE cards and other NFC-based transactions.
Android HCE emulates ISO/IEC 7816 based smart cards that use the contactless ISO/IEC 14443-4 (ISO-DEP) protocol for transmission. These cards are used by many systems today, including the existing EMVCO NFC payment infrastructure. Android uses Application Identifiers (AIDs) as defined in ISO/IEC 7816-4 as the basis for routing transactions to the correct Android applications.
Apps declare the AIDs they support in their manifest files, along with a category identifier that indicates the type of support available (for example, "payments"). In cases where multiple apps support the same AID in the same category, Android displays a dialog that lets the user choose which app to use.
When the user taps to pay at a point-of-sale terminal, the system extracts the preferred AID and routes the transaction to the correct application. The app reads the transaction data and can use any local or network-based services to verify and then complete the transaction.
Android HCE requires an NFC controller to be present in the device. Support for HCE is already widely available on most NFC controllers, which offer dynamic support for both HCE and SE transactions. Android 4.4 devices that support NFC will include Tap & Pay for easy payments using HCE.
Will I be able to find the file for the Nexus 7 before it gets pushed automatically, or do I just wait?
Do you gave to be rooted to use it? How safe is downloaded such a file? Sorry for noob questionshangouts apk is on androidpolice thanks to the n5 factory image

Will Hangouts handle MMS too or only SMS? Will the Nexus 5 really not handle MMS without a third party app?
Playing around with kitkat. Loving it.
That depends on if Samsung decides to put it out for the device. They would never do a stock variation and would reskin and release that.how do i update this on my galaxy tab 2. is it even eligible?
It has yet to start rolling out to the Nexus 4 but should in the next couple of weeks. Usually Google does OTA updates over time.Why does the title say officially released? My Nexus 4 isn't finding an update.
Now, will there be any way to go from my custom ROM on my Sprint HTC One to a rooted 4.4 without losing my data? That would be amazing.
I would love me some updates for my Note2. Guess thats too much to ask. Damn you samsung. I don't want to root my phone!
How do you integrate SMS on to hangouts? Can't seem to find it in settings.
Yeah ver 1.2. It never asked me to switch to sms, doesn't show on my htc one or droid mini.Do you have the latest version? It asked me right when I ran it the first time.

Thanks matenope. it's the same file you'd get off the play store. no harm
You have to manually download the latest apk. It's linked earlier in the thread. Version should read 2.0.012 or so.Yeah ver 1.2. It never asked me to switch to sms, doesn't show on my htc one or droid mini.
v2.0 is the SMS build, I believe. It isn't on the play store yet.Yeah ver 1.2. It never asked me to switch to sms, doesn't show on my htc one or droid mini.
Aw my mistake, it updated earlier thought it came with the SMS updateHangouts with SMS is 2.0.

Apple announces new shit, download it the same day.
How well does the fullscreen mode for games work? That's my most wanted feature.
iOS 7 was released months after it was announced
I presumed it was an OS feature, so any game should. emulators should at the very least.Do you know any games that support it? I'll try it now.
