[Q] Help : Unable to uninstall Hangouts from S4 mini GT-I9195

I recently got this Galaxy S4 Mini GT-I9195. Its shipped with Android 4.2.2
The device is not rooted yet,
When i go to application manager -> Hangouts
i do not see uninstall button. All what I see is, 'Force Stop' & 'Turn Off'
I want to uninstall this annoying app and want to use Google Talk. I do have Gtalk APK with me.
When I try to install it, it says App cant be installed,
Could anyone please guide me through. Many thanks in Advance.

I think you should turn off first can you upload the apk you have to test it on my rooted hangouts free phone

fburgos,
finally i found the way to insert link here. Sorry for my bad
you can download and check .apk from here.
http://code.google.com/p/sawsan-android/downloads/detail?name=GTalk_4.1.2-509230.apk
google still supports Google talk.
I have same on my Galaxy Note which has got it pre-installed.
I am just not opting for the update play store prompts me to do and this is how I can enjoy gtalk
Please help

Firat you can't uninstall hangouts because it's a system app, and turning off dond't let you install talk.
Your apk works fine on my phone.
The only way to uninstall a system app is to have root access

How To Get Whatsapp to Work fully On Nokia X , X+ , XL ( Device Not Supported )

This Is Second Post :3 And I Think This will help alot of People out there,
My Brother just found a way to get rid of "Your Device is not supported Message" For all Nokia Android Devices.
Well Its A Rather Easy Fix and You Dont Need Root for it
Here We Go,
Step 1. Download Normal Whatsapp :3 and Install It, Do you thing and verify your number and stuff! when you finish you should see Device Not Supported Message Popping Out. Exit Whatsapp And Uninstall It.
Step 2. Download Whatsapp+ And Install it , If You dont know How to get whatsapp+ Just use this link -.-
Here​
After You Install It, And You Do your Number Verification and Stuff, You Will Not See "Device Is Not Supported" Message Anymore
PS : If You delete whatsapp+ and try installing the normal whatsapp, the Message will come again Idk why. and if You install whatsapp+ Directly (Before installing normal whatsapp) A Message Will Popout saying That "Your Whatsapp is Modified Bull****" .
This has been tested and Is working On My NokiaXL Please tell me If it works for you too

Thanks a lot for the help. Its working now

Thanks but the new version of Whatsapp not let you verify your number , it's give you the message directly after installing it " your device is not supported"
I think better to use this method here with old version then use Whatsapp+ "if you want" after verifying your number

I am not sure but, I doubt its got anything to do with gapps. You should check the "sync option" under both your device settings and viber settings.

According to Viber, "Some Android devices require that your contacts are synced to your Google account before being able to sync them to Viber". Also, they say its a known issue and they are working on resolving it in future versions. Untill then my friend, you would need gapps.
You can check the Viber Documentation here, http://support.viber.com/customer/portal/articles/1404502-contact-list-sync-issues#.VA1nQvmSwlU
** flashing gapps and adding a google account did resolve the syncing issue.**

*To uninstall system apps, you must use a root file explorer, delete the apk of the application you want to replace in /system/apps, reboot and uninstall through settings the apps

Unable to install any of the app, receive error "parse error - there was a problem while parsing the package" I think this apps are unsupported.....

Thanks. They all are working. Just uninstall old apps before.

I was also trying to use the apps - besides the messenger app (note its not hangouts! - its the new sms application). the other apps don`t work for me. The installer complains that another application is already installed.

To uninstall system apps, you must use a root file explorer, delete the apk file in /system/apps, reboot and uninstall through settings the apps.

also some of these apps require you to be using ART instead of dalvik or the app will crash

Many google apps don't work with microg, it might be the reason, u can create a id and password on xda directly.

Xda one app that you will have a problem with. Easy fix is to go to xda through the browser and change your password. Then go back to xda app. Login with your username and pass. Don't try to click th G icon it won't work now that you are using microg.
What other apps are you using that are giving you a problem?

Its better to add what apps are working which apps are not working in OP, so that people don't report them again.
It would be good if you add that backup and sync zip to OP, as few people like me backup contacts on google.

I haven't listed any because I haven't had any issues with any gapps I use.
Export your contacts to your sim or export your contact file to your cloud storage. You can also download Google contacts from Play Store and APP OP it.
The point of all of this is to reduce wakelock, slim down your ROM and tell Google to mind their business. I didn't add contact sync because it is one of the services that frequently run even when sync is turned off. Ween off Google. Easy is not always right.

Do you mean the back end plugins? Unifiednlp is part of the gsm core for what i read on MicroG. Which plugins did you find worked the best? I've been busy with work to test out which one works the best. Good idea though. Ill put the backends in the zip hopefully tonight.

You got struck because google drive doesn't work on microg, you will have to find another way to restore your data.
