Android 4.4 Images Surface

Android is getting major UI tweaks in its next version.

Starting with the lock screen, we can see a transparent status bar up top with white icons. There is a camera icon in the corner, that can be dragged to open the camera.
We can also notice the transparent nav bar at the bottom, new App Drawer icon, and an ugly Phone icon. The black background of the App Drawer is also gone.
One thing to notice here: there is no SMS app, so if the leaks are to be believed, SMS will be integrated into Hangouts app.
The current Location access screen will simply be called Location. On this screen the checkboxes labeled GPS Satellites and Wi-Fi & mobile network location have been removed and are replaced with more simplified options that replicate the same functionality: High accuracy, battery saving, and device sensors.

That launcher is ugly (like TW) but I can't wait to get my hands on 4.4

Seems legit, but that phone icon...

Can't wait for 15 October

Dafuq? Nearly as ugly as the google play music icon
Nevertheless, I don't need that much leaked images. One image to flash would be enough

Sweet. Hopefully Tuesday will be a release date.

From those pictures the most interesting thing for me is the "recent location requests" list. All the rest is just minor UI changes.

Damn the app drawer is transparent...

Looks cool

How is that a major ui change? Based on those few screenshots above It looks like holo got some tweaks.

Thought the title meant FACTORY images. Bummer.

Switching runtime between Dalvik and ART

I read about the inclusion of the new ART runtime in 4.4, so I went into my Nexus 5 and enabled the setting. First reboot is supposed to take longer as the apps are prepared.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Unfortunately, my Nexus 5 did not recover from this and was stuck in a boot loop. Logcat showed a bunch of mm-camera errors.
I don't know how to switch the runtime back to dalvik. I can see the phone is loading libart.so, and if I could switch back to livdvm.so it might recover.
If anyone knows how to do this, it might be helpful to others.
I'm just going to restore the factory image to get the phone back.

This probably belongs in q&a?

I was wondering about that. I doubt many people will find this setting without explicitly looking for it. It's under developer options, so I thought it was more of a developer topic.

That's the post I read originally. I asked about it in the comments there too. Looks like I was the only one with that problem. I had some weird FCs on the camera this morning, and I'm stock (well, rooted), so I wonder what's different about mine that made it not work.

After flashing the system.img I was able to boot and ART was enabled. Whatsapp was FC on me too. I went back to Dalvik.

I am using ART and everything is working properly and is super snappy. I am really excited for this to be fully integrated and optimized :good:.

Guys, if you're interested in ART but are avoiding it because of Whatsapp, please send them an email at [email protected] asking them to fix it.
The more emails they get, the more incentive to fix it!

Ti backup FC's for me too, but switching to ART bumped my quadrant scores by nearly 5k
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I flicked the switch to ART and was amazed at the speed improvements. I have only come across one app that would crash (asphalt 8). I am leaving it on, and if developers want me to buy their games, they better expect to support ART.

Would it be wise to uninstall everything and re-install the programs with ART. Or does it do that for you?

I switched to ART a couple of hours ago. Didn't need to reinstall anything.

ART does it all for you.
When you enable it will shut down your phone, then when you restart it will compile all the apps as it boots, this can take a few minutes and is battery intensive so make sure your phone has a good charge before you make the switch.

Kitkat T-Mobile update dialer bug

Hey guys, I've been experiencing a glitch with the 4.4 update when pulling up the keyboard. I thought it might be a leftovers from the previous version causing problems but I've done a factory reset and still there. I've got the problem on my developers edition as well my T-Mobile 16gb.
Here's the situation. From home screen, I tap on the phone icon and obviously get this.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then, if I tap the keypad icon I get this white bar at the bottom..
I have to hit the back key and tap the keypad again to get here..
From this point the keypad key will work normally but I'll have to repeat this process if I swipe close the dialer in the recent apps list.
This happens on both my regular T-Mobile and developers edition. I've done multiple factory resets and the glitch is always there.
Please chime in and let me know if I'm doing something that's causing it or if there's a solution I can try. Thanks!

The weird thing is I tried to recreate the problem on my dad's phone (Dev. Edition) and his phone goes straight to the dialer with keypad open (I.e. the third screen shot). He's using next launcher so I don't know if that's the difference

if you are using next launcher dialer shortcut the glitch is not there but if you are using stock dialer glitch is there,

I think its a kitkat issue. I had the same problem on my nexus 5

I was i n the soak test for the Sprint upgrade and had that issue. I can't remember when but I switched over to ART and booted into stock recovery and wiped the cache. Then noticed when I opened the dialer that that issue went away, has never returned.

It's not the camera though. It's a camera wakelock. Only way to get rid of it is to reboot.

Google can't do enough to get rid of these damn wakelocks. Can't wait for this update. Also the camera focus fix should be great. Hopefully they do SOMETHING to fix the damn wlan_rx wake lock that just zaps 5-10% of my battery every day for no reason.

Just a question if I may. When the update is released I'm guessing we will all need to reroot and unlock our bootloaders again? At reroot. As I am running stock rooted with elementalx kernel, would there be any risks if/when I update? Sorry the nexus is different then my old Xperia Play.

Your device stays unlocked. You will need to root again. You may need the stock kernel to update. No problem if the build is rooted for updating.

Xposed N-Ify Bring some N features to Marshmallow

First of all i did not create or develop N-ify. I just thought it was really cool to share.
With Xposed you can bring the Settings 2nd line info and the double tap to switch recent apps so far.
He is looking to bring the new Doze features and a few others to 6.0
