Just want to start off with our leaked official 4.4.2 24A update may or may not be a final release but why not start having some fun.
With anyone using the new Kitkat stock rom, please post any bugs, issues, New features, changes, etc.
I think I've picked up that the proximity sensor isn't as goofy as it was on JB. What about audio or compatibility issues? Did they fix the Exchange Push Email bug?
Any new features you find? Post em here.

A couple of things I noticed off of the bat is that Knock On works every time after two taps. Isis does not work with root. There are a couple of games in this build: Andrio, deBlob, and a few extra apps that I can't remember right now (trying to keep root during this flash!). Overall it seems way smoother, but with few visual changes as expected. I'll report more findings later.
There is tap and pay now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I like the transition animations are aosp speed now

Yea I hate Verizon for stripping a core feature and try to make everyone pay for it. AOSP WiFi sharing is easier anyway. On the flex rom, the LG version was good too.

Smooth, not a jittery animation yet.. The touch response isn't as hyper-sensitive. My compass direction in maps is accurate after a couple slow spins(always 180 off in 4.2 for me)

Don't know if anyone else posted this yet... But with 4.2.2, the included emoji font that was shown when using a keyboard like SwiftKey was monochrome and hard to read. On kitkat, it's a huge improvement - gorgeous color, and it appears to include more choices. Very nice!
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk
I noticed when you lose a data connection the 3G icon in my case since I was in a rural area the changes to a faded color and the up and down errors below disappear, which is quite different from 4.2.2.
I haven't noticed the GPS thing on 4.4.2 yet, but it affected me on 4.2.2. The odd 180 direction created many weird directions thinking I turned or going the wrong way. I travel a lot so that is a big plus.
There seems to be a lot more bloat in this one. Lots to disable between several amazon, Verizon, and other 3rd party apps. I did see a VMWare remote desktop app in Running apps. I don't like that one bit. I'll have to get Root Explorer to really clean some of those out.

Being new to Verizon, I'm not used to the abundance of bloat. I'm a little nervous about just deleting most of it because I have no clue what it's tied to, what it might break. I am disabling a bunch...but it's ridiculous IMO.
It is a bit much but that's carrier politics for you.
If your unsure what is safe, your best bet is to do exactly what your doing. I've deleted something on 4.2.2 and started getting a popup animation error every time I plugged in USB or headphones.
A "Kit Kat Debloat" thread would probably be a good idea.
GPS is solid on 24A. Much better then being redirected all the time. I just drove 1.5hrs and was never asked to get back on the highway or do a U turn in the middle of a busy intersection.

I think the only thing I noticed so far other than what has been mentioned...the settings button on the notification pulldown has been moved up top as well as the date and time.. Fixed a minor annoyance there. It seems much faster, but still looking through for things that may be different. Also, the GPS icon in quick settings is gone (replaced with location?) and the annoying icon in the statusbar is no longer there.
Edit*** anyone know if there is an issue with Kit Kat and Adaway? Can't get it to work

When using GPS, instead of the ugly old GPS icon, I'm seeing a Google Maps Pin when location is being used. Pretty icon.

I think the thing I've noticed the most is the auto brightness seems more responsive. Also have not had any speaker issues like reported on other devices getting Kit Kat. I have added Viper and Xposed. Time to start deleting some bloat. Mabe start freezing first in Titanium BU.?

You're probably going to get the plug and pop error (when you plug something into the usb port) when you add Xposed...I know I did.
This fix doesn't work anymore, it has to be updated: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549002
Just tried my OTG cable, no pop sound. Maybe a setting in Xposed that I'm not using.

NEVER happens to me so I doubt 4.2.2 will remedy for ya. Maybe look into other avenues to resolve this issue
I don't know what else it could be. Others with different devices hold their connection from the same location while mine drops. Whatever the case, it's getting old. I'm done talking to Sprint about it as the answer of "we are working on the towers right now“ doesn't work for me. If they were truly working on them the guys I work with would have the same problem.

The main reason I want 4.2 is so I can play with non-daily driver ROMs without dealing with the SD card when I go back. Anyone else?

That's probably the only practical reason.
tommason1968,
I know exactly what you are talking about! I had a thread complaining about the same thing. Took my phone into the Sprint store and it failed "once" a test and they gave me a new phone and the exact same thing happens to my current phone. Can't go down the street (or even sometimes sitting still) and I lose data connection. Listen to streaming radio on Tune-In and it cuts out constantly. Used the Scout (Telenav) GPS and always got "There is no cell phone coverage / Now there is cell phone coverage" during a trip to Wisconsin and Mississippi this month.
Heard the excuse that the towers are being upgraded and that is the reason service is so poor. Almost tempted to say well put that in writing so that I can go to another wireless company without an ETF.
Came from the HTC LTE and never had so many drop outs. Yes, there were marginal spots that I would lose service, but in the past I have made it to Wisconsin and back without dropping service once not to mention 50 - 100 times, so like you think it is directly related to the phone. When you take the phone into the Sprint store, they are like well nothing what we can do, or well that is a lot of work and doubt we will find something. It is tempted to reactive my old HTC LTE and see how it does because I know where the marginal areas are at and the areas that are not marginal that I still lose connectivity on a constant basis with my HTC One.
Just wonder if like the first I-phone made of solid shell, that the metal casing isn't affecting how well the phone does in the terms of the ability to connect and stay connected to the cell towers.
For me, it's gotta be the way ZOE clips will be captured as a single video file instead of 20+ images. Each time I take a ZOE clip all those 20 pics get backed up on my G+ cloud.

And the charging speed. And the quick toggles. And hopefully the focus on the camera. And the OS efficiency.
I've managed to get rid of all the lag by turning off all animations. I just need better battery life. Everything else has been promised.
I just want the added features of 4.2.2. I want quick toggles, lock screen widgets, etc. And the added battery percentage and what not.

4.3
Who cares about 4.2? 4.3 began rolling out to the Google Experience/Play HTC Ones a few days back which has a functional IR blaster! That, with CM's new camera and this phone is going to be pretty awesome, pretty quickly.

I'm with explicit. I like the aosp toggles much much more along with HTC's version of the battery percent. Also, the update will come with lockscreen widgets. They already have the implemented in the Intl version.
I for one am pretty stoked about this update. It will include everything that I like in aosp plus it will have IR.

That the EQS included with Viper looks hideous to some of us?
Just ribbing you, but seriously-- I cannot stand how it looks in the slightest. Native quick toggles are also one less app needed to replicate functionality, which is nice if you're trying to keep things slim.

Yeah. I think that the EQS are stupid looking too. Just wanted to make sure it was known that most of these features already exist in some form. I love the Holo style EQS, though. In the meantime, I'm using Floating toucher. Its pretty cool.
I'm more excited about the camera improvements. The number of pictures out of focus is too damn high!
I expect that it will be the only update released for this phone.

I'd be willing to guess the 4.2.2 delay is a Sprint issue more than an HTC one.
I personally am not even excited about the 4.2.2 update anymore, due to how long it's taken and now that 4.3 is out.

I'm not excited about either one. I have a Nexus 7 with 4.3 on it and it doesn't look/feel much different from when I used CM on my LTE. There just isn't anything to really worry about other than the kernel.
So I've had my Moto X for about a week now, and I just rooted with JCase's new RockMyMoto. Then I used MotoXposed to hide the ATT label and fix the wifi gap, but suddenly I realized the close all button doesnt appear when I open my recents menu. I honestly don't know if I just never noticed till now, or if I broke something.
Wait... Is that a custom ROM feature? Where the recent apps button becomes three horizontal lines like the clear all in the notification drawer? I've been on PA since I bought my GNex so I don't remember. The Moto X is so smooth I've never tried till now.

i was surprised when i noticed that button wasnt on the moto x; i could have sworn that was a default android feature. i got it back on my phone using the gravity box module on the xposed framework (its under "miscellaneous tweaks")
Does gravitybox work with MotoXposed? I only rooted to get rid of the ATT label and the WiFi gap an couldn't think of anything else I wanted to do. That's how slick this phone is! I'll live without it cause they extra RAM and horsepower don't make it necessary like my GNex and Kitkat has improved memory management when we get our "very soon" update

there are a few "issues" that have come up but they may not necessarily be major (depends on the user). i've noticed conflicts in settings that are in both modules, and since i didn't know which is prioritized over the other i probably spent more time than i should have tinkering/experimenting with both to see their cause and effects. with that said, i did manage to get both working together with everything done to my likings..
but like you said, this is the first android phone where i didnt want/need to do too many changes and im *extremely* happy i dont have to go the custom rom route as with all my previous phones
Just wanted to share an unofficial build of AOKP for our TF701T's I did for myself.
Special thanks to Team AOKP for their wonderful rom!
Disclaimer: You flash it, you break it, you fix it. I will be update the builds weekly or so as new features are added into AOKP regularly.
Flash the same as any other rom. Use current Banks Gapps.
Known issue: I have enabled the glcomposer in the build.prop because the overall smoothness and battery life is greatly improved. However, because ASUS hasn't updated past 4.3, there may be occasional graphical glitches. You can disable the glcomposer by removing the one line in build.prop containing glcomposer in it BUT do try as it is first and see the difference for yourself. I have been using it for a couple weeks now and the graphical glitches are very small and barely noticeable.
Examples of where to see smoothness include: Scrolling homescreens. Swiping pages in App Drawer. Swiping pages in the widget drawer. Swiping away notifications while on homescreen. Swiping down notifications and quicktiles while on homescreen. Swiping to Google Now page in GEL launcher.

Excellent work. Very fast. No graphical glitches so far that i can see. Lets of options.:good:
It's great to see another ROM option for the tf701t! I just tried this out. The graphics really are quite smooth, and I love all of the customization options. Alas, as with cyanogenmod and cromi, Bluetooth functionality is severely diminished -- a mouse barely moves the cursor at all and a keyboard has severe typelag making it unusable. Any idea what's going on thereand how to fix it? I'm happy to be a guinea pig.
Awesome, glad to see other people trying this out!

Not a mouse, but I had another bluetooth keyboard, so I paired it up and gave it a try. Worked perfectly fine with no typelag :/ The one that doesn't work is a combo keyboard/touchpad. I don't think xda will let me link to a product on amazon, but it's a "tp cromeer" branded case with builtin bluetooth keyboard/touuchpad. Made for the N8000, but it fits the tf701t quite nicely.
Any idea why just this one device wouldn't work?

I actually have a mini combo keyboard touchpad I can try tonight.
My guess is going to be some sort of silly device incompatibility though...
I dont have any problems with this inexpensive bluetooth keyboard.
I do find though. I dont know if its possibly the kernel or android itself or if too many apps are running in the background. Input in general and reponsiveness is lost completely until reboot. It starts to lag all input I think. Like touch sensitivity etc. I wonder if anyone else has found this on to be the case on this device. Not sure if there is some app thatll restore it by killing processes possibly. Another thing I notice is that Android is running tonnes of threads. Compared to the few that run on linux. 600+ on android. Less then 100 threads on Linux usually depending on the distro. This rom right now has 900+ threads showing in htop. But it is still smooth as butter. Maybe thats not a big deal then.

It happens on all roms, but it would be a very subtle thing. I dont see it really as a problem. Just something that requires a reboot.

Yes -- I know exactly what you're talking about I think.
On any ROM I've tried, it happens. A fresh reboot always clears things up, but after running a few apps (and / or putting the tablet to sleep overnight perhaps?) the whole system lags a bit. General stuff, like switching programs and running apps like Tapatalk and Engadget (for example). I'm forced to kill apps manually, and that sometimes does the trick.
One thing I tried out yesterday that seems to be helping -- give this a shot too: in your developer settings, you'll see that you can restrict how many background processes are running. Currently, I have background processes limited to just 2 at a time (and also "strict mode" enabled)... and I have to say, I'm noticing a difference! Might take some more testing to see what the pros and cons of this are, but if it just means that I don't have background processes piling up on me, this might be a workaround?
Aside from that, has anyone tried Greenify with good results?

Honestly guys, I don't see this issue using this AOKP rom...I've left it for a few days no reboot, and I don't see any slowdowns/lag.
On a brighter note, I have a new build ready to be uploaded tonight.
I messed up some merges for battery/charging and was struggling to sort it out the last couple days.
All good now.
New build will be up later tonight.

Hey all! I just wanted to report my discoveries today. I have had a T-Mobile flat S6 for a little over a month now. My father has a S4 that I gave him awhile back, but wanted to get something new. I decided to give him my S6, and get an AT&T S6 Edge for myself. I'm' pretty used to being able to fully modify every aspect of my phones, because I normally only buy phones with unlocked bootloaders. I've done quite a bit of research, and experimentation, and found that even though we are pretty limited in our choices, we can indeed get something like the Alliance Framework to work, which adds a lot of functionality. What I did was install the XtreStoLite ROM from the main S6 Edge section using FlashFire. When it flashes, it will take you to an aroma installer. Could just be my phone, but the phone went totally crazy. Started flashing like crazy, but you could make out the aroma options. I was able to check the options I wanted, and flash. The install worked! After going through and setting things up, I then flashed the secondary package that you can install with the XtreStoLite ROM. Same thing happened where the phone would flash like an old tv that couldn't find signal. I was able to check all the modifications, including the built in Alliance Framework. It flashed fine, but got stuck trying to reboot. I manually rebooted, and after a few minutes, the phone came back on like normal. I checked everything, and the Alliance modifications are fully functioning. I just thought I'd share with you all, in case anyone is mod happy like I am. The link to the ROM is below:

Thanks for this find! Now I wonder if any other aroma roms work,lol
No signal issues or FC's? Or any major issues at all

No issues! I've been using it all day. Talked on the phone through bluetooth and the built in speaker. Was able to call out and receive calls. Made plenty of texts. Played quite a bit of youtube and netflix. I was also able to install the cocktail mod. Phone feels super snappy also. No lag whatsoever.
If anyone has any questions, I'd be glad to help! :good:

Be careful. Many 925A users, like myself are having GPS issues. Dev is supposed to be fixing I would hold off on XtreStoLite for now

I can confirm the GPS issues. Had it all setup and I liked how good the rom was but without the GPS it's useless. So back to stock.

I received this update today and, as promised, Wi-Fi calling and YouTube Live Video Broadcasting are both now available. I've tested both and they work on my S6 Edge.
The App Edge menu is also now included, and works as well.
UHQA audio enhancements are supposedly in there too, but I have no compatible equipment to test that.

Yeah, I saw that there was some new notification feature in Samsung's messaging app, but since I use Verizon's Message+ it slipped my mind to mention it.
And before I get grief about using Verizon's app, I would just add that it is kind of nice having my SMS messages sync'ed across my desktops, tablets and phone - and not that I have anything against the Samsung native app.
I actually liked the app too but just didn't trust Verizon

I hear you, but I figure I've already sold my entire genome to Google and Verizon so it's too late to close that gate any longer.
Now they add the app edge. Too bad I've been using glove box for a while now.

Anyone else "Unable to activate WiFi Calling at this time"?
Rebooted, waited till morning, still no dice. Can't imagine why. Have good WiFi, good cell coverage. Advanced calling is enabled.

I'd call Verizon on that one, mine activated just fine.
Make sure your wifi is off while trying to activate it. Mine said that at first, I cut wifi off and then it worked perfectly fine.

Just noticed that, after this update, the "smart network switch" setting is gone.
Not sure if that means it is now always on, or if it is always off - but I know which ever way it is, it won't be able to be set the other way any more.
EDIT: Restarted my phone today, and the smart network switch is now visible in the WiFi advanced options list. I was probably wrong about it being gone in the first place, but I would swear it wasn't there when I wrote the original post.

Still no joy. I'll give VZW a call tomorrow, but IMO it's not worth a factory reset if that's what it comes down to.

Anyone else finding that battery drain is a feature of this update? (I've only updated...advanced calling off )

Anyone know if this OTA update kills FoxFi?

Do you or does anyone know if this OTA update affects FoxFi Wifi Tetther? And How is Battery Drain? Someone said that Battery Drain is worse with this update? Any help is appreciated... Thanks...

The stock earbuds enable UHQA. I'm sure at this point in my life I have some level of hearing loss but I don't notice a difference with it enabled.

Right. I should have been more specific about not having any way to test the UHQA Bluetooth capabilities. On a related note, I'm thinking of trying out Samsung's noise-cancelling Level headphones. I kind of like the control interface, that allows for track previous/next selection and volume adjustment by swiping the ear-cup
I am just downloading it now. Thanks for the heads up.
With those features. I almost don't even care I don't have root.
Just wish there was better selection in the Samsung theme store for free.
I mean the selection we have on the forums here is awesome.
As far as the sound quality goes. Make sure you tune the frequencies using sound alive as well. It makes a big difference on a per user basis.
Foxfi is working without any problems. Battery life feels the same. Wifi calling working as intended.
Is anyone else noticing with this update and the previous one that there are times where the phone seemingly bogs down but then acts fine a few moments later? Feeling like I should do a factory reset, I know the phone can get wonky after updates and it's always recommended to do that, but want to get feedback first if I'm the only one experiencing this?
wtf!!!, this update completely erased everything from my phone, its as if I did a factory reset. Good thing I have most of the things backed up on the cloud....but still....the hassle....
I guess I was due for a factory reset -_-
