Yup i think he's talking about the official 4.4 OTA, not the custom 4.4..but if its really a hardware limitation why is it available inthe custom kitkats?

I wonder possible to customized it into like the Ironman 3 the Computer Interactive Assistant "Jarvis"... Like, Okay Jarvis, hurray!

Why not? Can use the Open Mic+ app.

yes we can. try use open mic+ apps. I tried change the phase to "okay baby" and it works

lol can try this theme and add the open mic+ apps like the others mention.

But no Jarvis to talk back to you unlike the iOS version.

Can lah by using Tasker to set it up.

Yup I'm talking about the soon to be release KitKat for the other Nexus family. We will not have the swipe to the left from home screen for Google Now and the 'OK Google' function.

But the AOSP have it so I'm wondering why Google decide it to be exclusive for N5.

Although it still rumours. I just read the article somewhere last night.

For the Launcher, it is not really a rumour, here is the article that says it won't be available to other devices for now.

And also, the ok google function is due to hardware, the S800 supports voice commands without affecting battery that much. Probably google is afraid of the battery drain if it were to be implemented to other nexus/GPE devices that do not have this chip?but many complained that nexus 4 is handling it well so not sure the actual reason.

Not sure you guys have heard about this, for those using Android Device Manager, you have to re-activate it again.

you can say ok jarvis instead of ok google. http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1...ok_jarvis_will/

How do I edit this screen
Im using CynanogenMod.and how do I delete that torch app?(comes with the mod)

Introducing Android ART

Another underlying feature of Android Kitkat is a new Android Runtime (ART). Since the dawn of time, Android has been using Dalvik to execute your APK. Your App, which normally in a form of APK, are essentially partial compiled code. Dalvik is responsible into unzipping and using Just-In-Time, compile it and execute it, it does this every time you start an App.

Meet ART, this is a AOT (Ahead-of-Time) compiler. What it will do if you enable this option in Kitkat (developer option), it will recompile your APK into full machine language and keep it that way. Once in full machine language, your code should run at full speed. And without starting additional Dalvik VM overhead, you also freed up some memory.

My personal take on this is that, with today's fast CPU, the gain is probably not as much as in the link above. However I suspect the best benefit is without Dalvik, you could free up some more RAM on low memory device. Don't really know for sure. Will test this out... if I am free.

will going to japan next week, so tempting to sell my n4 and buy a n5 there :|

buy extra one for me

Settings - Interface - Quick Settings panel - Tiles and layout

Press and hold any tile, the ADD tile will change to Delete tile; move the unwanted tile over it (it will change to red).

so still no update to 4.4 n4?

Can help me get N5...pls....

From my experience, even on Dalvik, Kitkat really uses a small amount of ram, IIRC about 300MB without any 3rd party apps running. And after I enabled ART, i see that it apps opens up faster, almost instant. Downside at the moment is some apps just refuse to open using ART, straight away FC...and you are right on the CPU part as I notice no significant increase in synthetic benchmarks. User experience is greatly increased though with the faster app load time.

awesome! first hand experience! thanks for sharing.

Good to hear man

yep that is the known issue right now if u enabled ART. sure the apps run faster with ART but i cant live without whatsapp. lol. so i changed back to dalvik. im using gnome's kk aosp rom along with ak kernel right now. the best and the most stable kk rom out there atleast for me.
