It's been explained like 10 times already in this thread:
Programs compiled against Qt 4 cannot and will not use Qt 5 libraries.
They are not binary compatible. Actually they are not even completely source compatible.
Yes, Qt 5 is an improvement over Qt 4. Yes, Qt 5 can be installed along Qt 4.

But no, there isn't a single program on a freshly flashed N9 that uses Qt5: you would need to change the sources of the UI and main apps, and then recompile them for you phone to use Qt5.
