This is much smaller update (like 2MB), 4.4.1 was around 50MB.
What changes you could possible witness in a 1,77mb update?
Most probable all changes that now someone could see are coming from previous 4.4.1 update

4.4.2 already!!!
It seems the 4.4.1 build had some major issue with regards to radio fixes Google pushed... 4.4.2 is a quick bug squashing...
No Hurrays sadly...
noticeably faster for me, I use Action Launcher and there were some lags especially when hitting the home key and the sidebar pops up, this is gone now.
also other apps seem smoother now.
am not using ART yet.
After 4.4.2 update it seems more RAM is free
1.42GB free when RAM is cleared....on 4.4 it used to be around 1.3GB free

I loved the Nexus 7 from day one, it was fast, fluid and stock android is always a good thing. But somehow Google managed to make the Nexus 7 look old by providing an update which basically kills project butter. These are my impressions:
http://smartphoneblogging.com/2013/...-for-tablets-what-happened-to-project-butter/
I agree, compared to 4.1.2 on my note 2 the nexus 7 with 4.2.1 lags to much.
Has there been any information about if/when we will get another update?
Mine is still smooth as butter. Stock, running 4.2.1. You guys are doing something wrong.

No I haven't and I won't do it either, because it will only be a temporary solution as with the forever gone app. Newly wiped devices are always faster but only until you install all apps again and use them for some time. Then the lag will start again, at least this is my experience of the past years with all mobile devices that have performance issues.

There's something to what you said. But I think in this case there is something that goes awry with the 4.2.1 update mechanism and leaves something misconfigured.
Do a factory reset
Then configure Currents to not do background sync
Then change WiFi settings to not stay on when the tablet is sleeping

I agree. I've heard lots of issues when upgrading. There is a lot of changes the SD folder structure and relocation of lots of data that could be the culprit.
I can't say if it makes a difference because I reset often between Rom flashes and major updates. My N7 is still super quick. In fact it feels the same/faster then my brand new 4.1.2 N7 (my tester device). I've been on PA for a long time and haven't factory reset in a long while either.

Nope, I'm just picky on what I put on my device. Not a load of music and videos, very minimal amount of apps, stock, Nova Launcher Prime, and do regular manual cache maintenance on it to keep it clean. Never have say, eight apps running at the same time on it, either.

No, im talking about the extreme lags on nexus 7 since 4.2.1. This didn't happen on 4.1... I'm not talking about some general slowdown of the system which is happening when you load it with apps...
Mine came out of the box using android 4.2.1. I seems reasonably smooth but the app drawer suffers random lag unlike store units that run 4.1.2.
Overall on stock rom, it is not even close to lag, just a bit of minor stuttering for me with launcher that's all.
Do factory reset. Fixed all the issues for me. I had all the problems you've been having.
After reset it was back full speed.
Do it.

AW: My Android 4.2.1 Review: What happened to project butter?!
I'll wait for the 4.2.2 update first to see if it fixes anything...
Android always lags. There is no fix.
Is it just me or is anyone else not bothered about upgrading to 4.3 yet? The forum is littered with 4.3 questions/issues:
How do I get 4.3
Why have I not got 4.3 OTA yet
How to I get 4.3 OTA
How to I go back to stock to get 4.3
How do I flash 4.3 image
X app is now crashing on 4.3
I have no in call audio in 4.3
How do I get X on 4.3
Which kernel is best for 4.3
... the list goes on.
There's thread duplication everywhere. It's nice to see a new release but the updates seem quite minor to me, the only update I like is the better battery life. I'm quite happy to stay on 4.2.2 until a stable customisable 4.3 ROM and kernel is available.
Am I the only one in this boat?
I think the main plus of 4.3 has to be the addition of TRIM into android.
This will dramatically increase the longevity of devices.

The persistent notification thing is really annoying me, otherwise I'm enjoying it
One of those things, people don't seem to understand that:
- They ought to just be patient and wait for the OTA if they are running stock. It will come.
- With every new release Android there is period of merging, bug fixing, and, of course waiting. Devs overcome the last issue by releasing half-completed ROMs and gradually add more features back in to it with more releases. Often means that you are upgrading in order to have fewer features.
Personally just going to wait until franco.Kernel has all features merged, PA is all complete, and everything is working properly in official releases (eg. the changes for root access). Less hassle, wipe, reinstall, restore, and go back to a phone that was functioning in the same way as it was before.
Touch driver updates are my huge notice. Screen seems much more responsive to me...... That's it though

The improvement in battery life on 4.3 is pretty good. I used to be at a point where it wasn't a whole lot better than my galaxy nexus (so I just used my galaxy nexus for the removable battery), but now I don't mind using my N4 as my daily driver.

im thinking of switching back to cm10.1.2 and matr1x kernel. right now you gotta either stick with 4.3 stock or 4.3 custom rom and kernel but get used to the little bug here and there. i'd say not worth it for 4.3 now. yes it's a bit smoother and battery life is a bit better, but for me all the hassles are not worth it at thr moment. glad there are a lot of people stick to 4.3 custom roms and kernels so they can test those out and report bugs to the devs, but for me to use this phone as a daily driver, im thinking going back to my stable 4.2.2 setup with greater battery life because of the stable custom kernel and uv.

The change from 4.2.2 to 4.3 does not present any significant changes.
On top of that, we pretty much only have 1 developer that ports these AOSP bases over to our device. So please be patient.

Not visually, 4.3 is mainly sh*tloads of under the hood changes and one of them (if I'm not mistaken) is that the ui has been given higher priority = smoother ui.

Just a question, are you a bit ignorant today? Seems like you don't feel like listening.
It's the stuff behind the ui that makes it smoother, doesn't matter how beautiful the ui is if it lags - right?

This update should fix all kinds of bugs that are obviously present in 9.2.A.0.295
-Volume(not showing and not changing the volume)
-Movies App(Blue Flickering Bug, when Show Recent video is turned on)
-SD Card(Sometimes Walkman and Movies App, can't read any files on SD card)
-100% Charge(Full Charge bug)
-and all the bugs we have or not have encountered, and hopefully they will further improve the software.

I've attached a picture of the new dialer.
1. Dialer
2. Radio awesomeness: Wi-Fi connection established much faster than before. Remember how some networks couldn't be found easily? That's gone as well. When you turn off Wi-fi, cellular data connects in less than 3 seconds.
3. Shutting down takes longer than usual.
If you can't wait for OTA anymore, here is a way to install 4.4.3:
