Isn't that trademarked by Nestlé? I wonder how much cash has traded hands.

I'm excited to see that name... Plus their statue looks perfect. I'm pretty sure Google will pay for licensing if it's the ceo's favorite candy. Android associated with kit kat makes me want to buy one now.. Just wish they would of kept 5.0 instead of 4.4.

My main concern is that they usually only make significant UI changes with major numerical version updates. Since it's 4.4 and not 5.0, my thought is that there will be probably a few new features within more or less the same UI. That's not a problem, per se, but in my opinion the current Android UI is getting a little stale and could really use a refresh (especially the launcher). That's mainly what I'm hoping for in the next version of Android. I suppose we only have a couple months until we find out for sure though.

My thoughts as well, though I will say that they do have a good thing going right now. Plus, Jelly Bean was a significant improvement over ICS.
PS. Where are all the KitKat ROM's?

The overall theme basically hasn't changed since ICS. That's why I was hoping for version 5 and a refreshed UI. Jelly Bean is nice looking, but it's getting a little stale. We don't want the exact same look version after version like iOS

Not sure if anyone answered this, but they both agreed that they wouldn't pay each other anything. KitKats become advertised subconsciously and Android gets a simple catchy name.

I personally like the way android's interface is right now. Besides there are many options with custom romming and custom launchers that allows you to customize it so much that a "major upgrade" isn't necessary. Just my opinion though.

When are they gonna release the freaking thing?

OH REALLY?
Please send me a link to a Sprint GS4 4.3 leak or ROM. The international and other GSM carriers have a leak which has been ported to the Sprint gs4, but this isnt from sprint. So how do you expect to have a 4.4 KitKat Official update to the Sprint GS4 in the next month or so if we don't even have 4.3 yet. It at least another 1 month before we get 4.3 official update. then another 2-3 months for 4.4 update. Which puts it in the Jan/Feb range. So do not tell me I am ignorant and stupid.
And you should really read the rules. Here is the specific one I am referring to, just in case you forgot it.

I talk to my phone all the time, it's much easier. I use to only when searching for things but now that I have Google Now I use it much more. Most of the time if I am around somebody they ask me what kind of phone I have. I mean I wouldn't use it at a funeral and I don't go to church or Walmart and usually never the mall, I try to avoid mass social situations unless there is a DJ/producer I want to hear.

THIS THIS THIS! A battery is not a feature of the OS, and while making the OS more battery efficient is always good.. I want to see some advancement in the state of batteries, the phone has improved so much in the past few years it's crazy, the battery needs to catch up. I'm talking at least 3 day+ battery no matter the use in all devices.

What happened to all these great Roms we were supposed to get?

Just curious where all these Roms for our Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 are?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
We have lots of them ..which "great one " are you waiting for :what:
Seems like many of the DEVs have left Sprint for Verizon and/or decided they like their Note2's better.A lot of the rest all seem to be obsessed with AOSP/AOKP/CM Roms despite the fact that it removes most of the functionality that makes this phone great.
Unfortunately the blind hatred of TouchWiz for no good reason is hurting this phone.
Learn to build your own rom.

Ya on all the aosp the cameras are not even close to the stock one"unless there is a stock camera apk .".I see your point.. really haven't looked at it like that..that being said I would still never go back .pacman with faux =:beer::beer:
There are as many good roms for the Sprint version as there are for the others. Also, you guys should feel lucky that that Sprint has felt charitable enough to not lock this device down like Verizon and AT&T have as devs are indeed leaving those versions even as we speak.....

I don't even think I have seen a single Dev from either the epic touch community or gs3 go from sprint to Verizon.I've seen ATT and T-Mobile. Anyways we have many great devs in our community. And you can't expect every single one that you like to get the same phone as you. Since we don't all have upgrades at the same time. Some may have used it on a gs3 and now can't upgrade until gs5 or simply don't have the money to upgrade. We are all regular people. My guess is that by black Friday time we will have many more devs come over. This happened with the gs3. The number of Roms jumped a lot from what I remember since some people were able to get the gs3 for a penny with an upgrade.
And since when is there a blind hatred for touch wiz. Over the past two years I have seen more people prefer Touchwiz Roms over AOSP based. Easy comparison, check the number of posts and views of all aosp based Roms to that of touchwiz. And tell me which one has more. This goes for the sprint gs3 as well. From my view Touchwiz is the most stable and fully functional ROM for Samsung phones.

We have solid roms. Also take note this phone is still fairly new. Another thing to remember is that many people use stock rooted since this phone provides a rock solid experience. We got official cm support pretty much at launch the s2 never was like that
Too bad Calkulin went to another carrier.

I think they'll pull through. They were first out of the gate (besides google, but come on) with 4.3, and sprint approved the update in just a few days. I think there's a real, solid chance that they will get it done in time, if not a little before (though that seems unlikely).

Yes, Sprint will have this update within 90 days. If HTC is making such a hard push to improve their updating then it will happen. . . what makes it even more plausible is that they state they are unsure as to when Max will be getting it basically stating HTC One is coming first so no multiple device support right out of the gate for HTC.

Android 4.4 KitKat running on Nexus 4 + Benchmarks

This is the new Android 4.4 AOSP ROM, which was just recently published by PA, running on Nexus 4.
In the video I go through the new stuff that's been added to Android, including the new "Ok Google" feature.
I also ran benchmarks and the results were better than I expected!
Antutu benchmark score: 16867 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_8_I6xHiOk)
Quadrant benchmark score: 5042 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aQbUfnrwU4)
The scores will improve once Google released the official ROM with all the binaries and what not.
Here's the original ROM thread:

TToivanen is right, the battery stays intact as it only listens for the keyword while on the home screen.
Results should increase when actual 4.4 binaries/drivers+kernel is released with factory images.

Agreed. I bought an N5 and part of it was because I couldn't wait for Kit Kat to get on my N4. I don't understand why Google doesn't start sending updates to the Nexii all ready.

Also I was looking for like a side by side comparison type thing...and how they compare to stock.

It happens. A major difference between some of them is the Base it's created from. Every dev brings his/her own flavor. Most of them are debloated, which is what mostly separates them from Stock. Some are themed more than others. The only way I can think of to view the Feature sets side-by-side is to view them on a pc in separate windows. Just see what appeals to you, read up, look at screenshots and try a couple out. It's really the best way.

It happens. A major difference between some of them is the Base it's created from. Every dev brings his/her own flavor. Most of them are debloated, which is what mostly separates them from Stock. Some are themed more than others. The only way I can think of to view the Feature sets side-by-side is to view them on a pc in separate windows. Just see what appeals to you, read up, look at screenshots and try a couple out. It's really the best way.

Gotcha thanks...wish there was a better measuring stick...and Im not looking for people to say this sucks or that sucks or what not...
Right. Everyone has their own opinion of what a ROM should be. That's why I just recommend fishing around until you find a ROM or developer that's more in line with your personal tastes. I've found that I'm a KNOXRAID guy. Some people prefer XNote. To each, his own.

I always use the views on a thread as an unofficial clue where to start when I got this phone, landed on knoxraid and havent looked back.
