Oher sources claim that it comes with 4.4.0 and will get update to 4.4.1 (with 50 or 100GB Google Drive offer) straight after activation!

Why do you need, proof? Its probably friend of the friends friend, who was in the taxi and spoke to driver who gave a ride to the guy who's friend works in google.

One again please post your "information" on the main N5 thread.
Awaiting proof from you side...

Thank you for sharing this information. Honestly we do care and are very greatful for it, its just we needed that little bit more info on the source, as you may have seen its very easy for people to just claim they know things and post them publically and with tensions running so high as we are very happy about the device I feel many of us jumped to conclusions.

Yea, there have been many rumours about the release in the past which makes us difficult to believe on any1

Take a chill pill, please.
My suggestion, dont use safe terms like:

"If people don't like it i would suggest don't reply"
It sounds very fishy and not very convincing

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:

It's not Ok google now, is just the old Google command but now from the launcher. I tought that Nexus 4 was received the ok google now from moto x

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.

Thanks for sharing. It seems to be very similar to stock 4.3 performance-wise.

Nexus owners don't like waiting... In fact many bought a nexus so they wouldn't have to wait on an update. Now Google is making us wait. Kinda BS. Pretty annoying.
I personally am refusing to use some broken 4.4 ROM. Stock 4.3 till the ota is pushed.

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.

+1. I found the floating windows thing intriguing but the overall user experience of Halo just frustrated me for the most part. I'm not sure I'd use multi-window much on my Nexus 5 but my Nexus 7 is crying out for a well-designed, stable answer to it.

Yeah its not like the notification bar is ever far away anyway.
I do use multiwindow on my "5". Mainly when I want to copy and paste from one thing to another (XDA perhaps?)

good.
HALO was terrible. too much of a gimmick. very little functional improvement

I was a fan of halo loved it in full screen games etc ..
Hopefully they have something up their sleeves .. I got a feeling they do

I tried to get into Halo once. Didnt find it useful because, like someone else said, the notification drawer wasnt far away. It was useful if you had the statusbar hidden but thats it. And I don't like the statusbar hidden. Hopefully whatever they come up with next will be better.

You should get used to play with this new UI but I would not say it's awful.
BTW Tapatalk has now access to your position and accounts (I saw these requests through Xprivacy).

Subscribed didn't show any forums
You couldn't tell what was read and unread
You couldn't mark forums as read.
When you finally got to the forum you subscribe to and went to a topic, going back takes you right out of the forum.
In my opinion definitely awful is the best description
