Hangout is code-styled to iOS 7 fashion (pretty much in order to keep in align with their Google+ app which is already using iOS 7 SDK).
Those non-iOS 6-look controls are not presented by the app per se. UIAlertView is in SpringBoard.app (it blocks power button and home button) and the cut/copy/paste bubble is probably in backboardd.

Since I was assuming Hangouts was surely submitted linked against the iOS 7 SDK, I wanted to know if they just did the work or there was a nice easy way to get the better-looking iOS 6 keyboard.
