Why my Kit Kat does not look like S5 - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I installed the rooted 4.4.2 KitKat via the thread here on the forum and when it was all said and done it looks the same as 4.3.....was the update supposed to change the UI any. My wife's S5 looks way different than my S4A. Just curious.
Thanks

The UI you see on the S5 is specific to the S5, it runs touchwiz 6.0 while the active runs 5.0, if you want to change ui visit this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2679753

This is confirmed working on the i537 AT&T leaked 4.3? Screenshots if you have please, just curious. I'm still on 4.2.2 stock w/ SafeStrap installed. Didn't really look into getting 4.3 leaked since only root methods supposedly had malware. :fingers-crossed:
Screens hots are borked in the leak but trust me in have already flashed a lock screen mod and can confirm it worked

Sweet deal, I'll check it out when I get a little free time off from work. I won't be able to get any OTA/Official updates from AT&T for my i537 anyways since I switched to Tmo last year. Locked BL sucks!

Look at my list of previous devices. All have been modded mainly with info from XDA. I have been my own guinea pig plenty of times, I assure you.
I'm not saying you cant...I discovered this worked for our device by going out on a limb a trying it. If I could get the ota I would have already tried.

If I could get the ota I would have tried by now if it worked on the leaked 4.3 it would lead me to believe it would work on official.

[Q] difference between 2 kitkat version.

Hi everyone, I am a user of this forum, I would want to ask ccouple questions about the new version of the android 4.4.2 and hope somebody could help me out,thanks!
Q1:What is the different between the modelN900AUCUCMLG and the offical Att model which just released?
Q2: If I did updated theN900AUCUCMLG model before,how could I change it from this to the Att offical version?
Thank you very much,I appreciate it.thanks
MLG is the leak.
The official is more refined, less bugs, etc.
There are methods detailed in the NC2 discussion thread.

Please go to the official kitkat discussion thread located in the general section. I suggest you start reading on page 10.
There is a ton of information you will need to know.
