Hello guys, huge thanks to everyone for testing and helping me on this project. Project has officially been discontinued
Android is one of the largest Operating System and Community out there, so many devices are first hand launched with new versions of Android. But it's not just about the Operating System. It's also about the applications selection.
There is a wide range of applications available in the Play Store but companies don't stick to one Operating System, they distribute their app according to their stats too. So all OS's get it.
But it's unfair to see how some Operating Systems (aka iOS) gets an improved version of Instagram which suits the UI. But Android is stuck with the ugly and revolting layout which doesn't fit in with the new OS layout.
I couldn't be bothered waiting so I decided to take the step myself, with minor coding and image skills I produced a first version. I then began learning more about coding and image editing and now I present to you the all new and improved version of Instagram.
Please take the time to read all the information, there isn't many but please read it, I'm actually tired of people posting and or asking about bugs which have been mentioned and have been solved. It would help me save time.

TYPES OF VERSIONS
KK Version What is this version? This version has the new KitKat layouts, and is specifically made for devices running the latest Android platform, which in this case is Android 4.4.2. Works on devices with Jelly Bean +
NL Version This is the alternate option, if you have a device that isn't on KitKat, you have to use this version. Also if the KitKat version doesn't work for you then this is your alternate option.
NL is recommended for users with Jelly Bean (If not working on JB) and lower. Or for users experiencing force closes upon start up.
Version 0.6 and above supports all Armv6 devices, as this was built for new devices only. Check credits for the user that gave me a chance to install a new library that allowed this to work on ArmV6 phones, no more camera compatibility errors.

Firstly, if you have Instagram alreayd installed, please uninstall it. Once uninstalled, download any Instagram version you want from this thread, and install it as any normal .apk. Once installed, open it and enjoy!
- Video bug = You will not be able to post videos because of crash, however I have fixed the crash bug but now the videos won't load in the editor resulting in the same outcome. I am looking into this.
- Tagging a user bug = When tagging a user before posting a picture. The screen slightly moves up "around 1-10dip" up. Its still functional but its a layout glitch.
- Tumblr bug = When using the Tumblr share option. The window background goes blue and doesn't match the colour scheme.
- The Tagging and Tumblr bug do not ruin your experience. However the video issue is present in all stable builds.
