A cow that can play notebook & phone Senior Member 2,248 posts Joined: Sep 2010	now... here is something that totally make sense! Android 4.4 (kitkat) will have a new launcher... Google Experience... and you can download this in Google Play... even for device other than Nexus! So, HTC and Samsung friends wanna try butter smooth Nexus / Google experience... ya! just download this google launcher from Google Play! KitKat's motto is "to make an amazing Android experience available for everybody." Make sense right? http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/10/12/ru...g-to-see-in-it/ This post has been edited by cowithgun: Oct 13 2013, 08:20 PM

WRONG! starting 4.3, your "su" binary cannot have sticky root access... byebye root. many things start falling apart... and it's the OS fault? come on! </rant>

Is that good to upgrade to that version? By the way, how are you backup your app + data before upgrading? Things that visible to user: - Bluetooth Smart Ready - OpenGL ES 3.0 - Dial pad - Autocomplete - New camera UI ... Read more here: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry62740872 Worth to upgrade. If you are upgrading from stock ROM/kernel, using Over the Air (OTA), no need to backup anything. Just chose to upgrade.

A cow that can play notebook & phone Senior Member 2,248 posts Joined: Sep 2010	QUOTE(NightFelix @ Oct 24 2013, 11:56 AM) I havent figure out the ChromeCast, so how exactly the ChromeCast works? Something like our Nexus 4 feature the Wireless Display? - think of ChromeCast as a small portable VCD player with Wifi capability! - connect ChromeCast into your TV HDMI input. - use your phone, download ChromeCast app from Google Play - use the App to configure your ChromeCast (set up the Wifi in ChromeCast) Now, use your phone to play any YouTube, netflix video, you have option to "cast" it into the TV. What your phone will do is to send the ChromeCast "link" (via your local wifi) to stream the video from Internet. ChromeCast will stream it and display it in your TV. You can still use your phone to control the playback, like to pause it, etc. No Wireless Display, etc. Low tech. Fun. This post has been edited by cowithgun: Oct 24 2013, 12:07 PM
