Android 4.4 Kitkat Impressions Thread

Now that ROMs are being built from the Nexus 5 4.4 source, what are your impressions on the update?
Also, please specify if you're using the OTA update or a Nexus 5 4.4 variant because the performance on both can depend greatly on it.
Anyway, my impressions:
Nexus 5 4.4 AOSP build:
+ The no black bars in the status bar and nav bar when in the homescreen is pretty nice looking
+ Homescreen with the Google Now stuff looks pretty good too
+ The clock doesn't look ugly anymore now that Google got rid of the bolded font
+ I like showing more information about battery drain from apps that use location
+ Bigger focus on Google Now.
+ It looks like more control on Google Now too like adding reminders and easier to modify preferences.
+ Easier and more apparent way to open Google Now and Camera from the lockscreen
+ Easier to choose a default Launcher now that it's in the Settings
- The white font when not in the homescreen (the black bars return) make apps look really plain and bland.
- Moving to neutral colours for other apps like the Keyboard make it looks plain as well
- I'm not really liking the changed Roboto font
- Tougher to add screens and widgets
- Dialer's design is all over the place. It has a new interface but then it looks the same when calling someone. Can't comment on the Yellow Pages thing since I think it's not working on this build.
- The app drawer icons are way too big and since some icons weren't made with such a high resolution, the consistency seems off.
I can't comment on the NFC part because it didn't seem to work on this build.
Anyway, yeah, the bland, grey colours are really bothering me. It looks very soul-less but I think I just need to get used to it.
Flashing another 4.4 rom now and see if that's better

There is an entire thread for discussing 4.4..

Yes, I know but I thought it would be good to have a separate thread for impressions considering that thread started off as a speculation thread. And now that it's out, impressions from users using Kitkat would be beneficial for people looking for information about Kitkat

Am I the only one that is disappointed? The changes are minor. Nothing big.

this is it..i myself didn't have much expectation.. kit-kat wasn't a Major Upgrade..actually (and unfortunately)
from android 4_4.4 there's no big improvement.. i think android 5 will be the real upgrade..

Have you ran it long enough to notice battery life is great compared to 4.3?
Google now integrated into the launcher?
Performance is same as 4.3 and has no optimizations as of yet?
Transitions are very smooth.
Overall this is a great upgrade from 4.3, most people are just not looking at the right parts of the ROM to notice it is greater.

The performance is very good, it benchmark better than stock 4.3 for me. The interaction response doesn't change, but it try to make the transition smoother like with iOS. Overall a very good update, visibly it has more to do with gapps integration. I think it persuade me to stick with the Nexus 4 instead of upgrading right now.
If you don't think there are enough change, stay with 4.3, don't update to 4.4.

Actually it's the other way around, the launcher is integrated into Google Now.

I really wish the lock screen had the transparent nav and status bars too, looks so silly when they disappear without so much as a fade animation when the phone is unlocked

Say.."bombs away nsa".. You get to watch live drone strikes in Afghanistan, don't worry about watching shoeless peasents being killed because there will be reassuring propaganda adverts before and after assuring you that it's helping women and children in Muslim countries.

Comparing 4.4 with 4.3 right now is stupid, we don't even have the updated binaries yet... judge it when its complete, not while it must still be considered a hackjob (and calling it that is not an attempt to diminish the efforts of the people who built the ROM with the older binaries).

my battery life is worse than 4.3 but I'm guessing its because of a poorly built because not all sources have been released yet.

Once you're using an official 4.4 build you'll find the opposite is true. Right now all people are using is a mocked up 4.4 using the 3.4 kernel. After some research many people claim that the 3.4 kernel is the worst power efficient version in recent history...An official 4.4 build uses either 3.8 or 3.10 if I'm not mistaken.

So can we use 4.3 Kernels with these early builds?

You know I see slot of speculation on an update that is not even released yet for this device. No kernel, no binaries, no nothing at all. Yet people complain.

Hey @neobuddy89 -- I primarily typed that up to help enable other developers, but it could be fun to post a fastboot-compatible update package. Any tips on a good filehost so I don't slam my personal box?
Also I think I personally will stick with Stock on my personal device, but maybe someone will use this as a jumping-off point for an improved ROM.
It's straight AOSP, but with enough proprietary junk to have things like connectivity, location, play store, gmail etc.

In short, just grab the working tree

According to the Android documentation, source is about 8.5GB, then goes up to 30GB for a single build.

Thanks for this OP. Currently learning how to build from source. I was going to start with pure AOSP, but I got too excited for Paranoid Android 4.0. I set everything up and the build is compiling right now as I type this, but your guide is a lot more informative than the one I used. It would be good to build AOSP just because it's base android, but I really wanted PA haha. Anyways it's really in-depth and I'm sure I'll learn a thing or seven from it. Thanks

Building from source isn't hard, it's mostly following directions. Cherry picking and fixing merge conflicts is where the real fun begins! :beer::beer::beer:

Eager to learn, my friend! Once I get familiar with the build process I plan to learn how to cherry pick commits / fix errors arising from cherry picking said commits. The PA build failed last night, but EvanA told me that would happen. They merged 4.4.1 and updated blobs so the build should work now. I just synced their source again and it is building now. Once I get a few successful builds I'll dive into all that. I really dig threads like this. We had a developer support thread in the gnex forum. I did a lot of reading over there, but hadn't got into building yet. That has to be one of my favorite things about the nexus. Community support. I mean I had a PA team member help teach me how to build their unreleased ROM. Awesome.

What's New in MIUI 7 Based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow

MIUI 7 Based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow is ready for Public. The update will be out in few days. Let’s look at What’s New in this pack.
Marshmallow based MIUI is very smooth. You can see some/most of the users are facing force close issues but if you use right app then force close issue is very less/no more. Display is bright even at lower point. Status bar is immersed with almost every app(which supports the miui framework). Image quality is good. Customized menu with more features.
Source: http://www.miscw.com/whats-new-in-miui-7-based-on-android-6-0-marshmallow-1732.html

There won't be any considerable changes as the company follows on MIUI updates rather than on MM updates. Most of the MM features are available on MIUI 7 under different settings and names.

Yes. You are right. There are no major changes

Is MIUI 7 on MM really on MM?
imgur.com/a/MCn9i
Why do I feel that I'm still on Kitkat?? Is it because its really on Kitkat with tinkered APIs or haven't they used the AOSP base to script the MIUI 7?

First of all, its just my opinion. You can see that if you enable onscreen navbar, what you get are those which we see on ICS-Kitkat versions. Same goes to the button which are not of MIUI style. Also, the notification shade is still accessed by swiping left of quick shade.
But on the other side, the UI of installing apps and some dialogs are of Lollipop style.
Is there any feature exclusive to MM that appeared on the MM build of MIUI 7 ??

No special Android 6 features on the MIUI based on Android 6

I find improvement in standby battery time.

For MM, Doze, App Permissions, Google Now on Tap were the main highlights. Miui already had custom app permissions. It seems they have integrated Google's app permission feature to their own. And miui actually had a similar feature like Doze. But now it works much better, as I can see great battery standby time. For now, it seems Google Now on Tap is the only feature that doesn't work.

Oneplus OOS 3.5-A big failure

As every Oneplus three user know , because android nougat has been released,and because there are some bugs in Oos 3.2.2/3.2.4,Oneplus decided to release Oos 3.5 "community build".
The Oos 3.5 fixes critical bugs such as :
-New and improved animations
-New, beautiful looking Chinese weather provider
-Yellow pages apk for everyone (they forgot to translate it in English)
-Improved dark mode (it is actually a dark grey now instead of black.Maybe dark grey is better for AMOLED screens than black..?)
-new Oneplus apps (dialer,calculator,etc)
-shelf is now transparent(you cannot put a image )
-new icon pack
-The new update follows the Oneplus philosophy
"We will keep it stock Android,we will only add a handful of useful features"
Need I say more ? install the latest Water version 3.5 and be happy !

So happy they fixed all those bugs!!!
Who needs GMail Push anyway...
Luckily they removed safe mode too! Less bloat.

I be honest it slowly feels like some themed out chinese ROMS like LeEco or something.
I wanted them to fix the camera too.

A better thing to do, SCRAP 3.5, just forget about it. Focus on Nougat, follow the existing design philosophy. Sure, update the stock OnePlus apps, but keeps the overall UI AOSP-like just like 3.2.4.
After this, work on themes as well. I'm so torn between stock OOS 3.2.4 (pocket mode. stability + better camera), or CM (more customization + themes).

And add to that the badly written translations, it strikes me as really odd that they seem to be almost ditching OOS 3.2.x and instead rehashing H2O OS instead.
I hope they keep both branches open with pretty much identical features across both and give users the choice of which one they want to flash.
The only thing I like so far from 3.5.0 is the weather app (which does not work on 3.2.4) and the shelf.

I'm pretty sure that you understand the difference between a beta Rom and a stable Rom. Oxygen 3.5 is in beta. It's normal to face many bugs.
So.. why complaining?
Moreover..if you don't like the "new stlyle".. just flash a Custom Rom and be happy.
It's should be the reason you bought OP3 : Savage Modding.

I think people are complaining more down to the fact this is quite a departure from 3.2.4 in look and feel as well as some chinese applications in the beta, bad translations and it's a also a port of H2O OS and not a continuation of OOS 3.2.4.
Stock applications are slowly been replaced and where will it end?
True I agree with you that it's a beta and things can change dramatically between now and the final release but like others I am concerned with the path OnePlus are possibly taking and OOS will just become yet another themed OS with poor applications in place of the google counterparts.
I am hoping with the first OTA they will look at all the feedback and bug reports and put back in the stock apps, go back to the stock android look and concentrate on fixing bugs not adding a ton more features.
If the codebase of H2O/OOS is the same I don't care what it's based on as long as the stock look which I love carries on.
And lastly some people don't want to unlock and flash different roms they have come to OnePlus because it's stock by default without all the crap associated with carrier bloatware or value added apps on a Samsung or LG.

i actually like the file manager and the gallery now in 3.5.
better than the one in 3.2.x
just flashed it last night though..

Yep, can confirm, now dark mode has the black background back

Can someone confirm me whether the dpi issue Is fixed or not?

Dont want to sound rude, but is there a point for one plus updating the 3.5.x builds?Rather than updating MM i think they should work on Android N .

This is a community build, not final or the like. They can't have two teams working on a ROM?

Had a quick look at the survey and spotted this... please tell me they are not thinking about adding more crap into their OS?
Have you installed Clean Master? *
If so, which feature do you use the most?
Clean Junk
App Lock, protect your privacy
Battery saver, hibernate apps
Antivirus
Phone Boost
Notification Management
Uninstall, backup and move your apps
I don't use it
I really do not like where this is going.

Honestly? I don't think so. Waste of money.
If they're working on a MM build, i suppose it will take veeeery long time before we can see something based on Android 7.

I know but... Only if you don't mind pictures quality....

given the direction OOS is heading (w/ the community builds) I'd prefer to stay on CM, just hoping OP drops the OOS camera blobs like Carl Pei said they would so we can have equal quality photography on custom ROMs soon
sad since OOS 3.2.4 is pretty amazing as is.

They already have two teams working on ROMs. One for OOS and the other for H2OS. This is probably done by the H2OS team. If you don't like it, don't use it and stick with 3.2.4 since this is just a community build.

At some point though they will deprecate 3.2.x and 3.5.x will take over with all of the (possible) value added software we love like cleaner master!.
Very thankful we have a fantastic dev community here who will strip out whatever crap OP put in.

There's no indication that they'll do that. But...you always have the option to install another ROM instead. OR as you said, strip **** out you don't want. But take into account that they're a Chinese company, with a vast majority of their user base probably is in China, so they want to cater that user base. I don't mind the visual aspects of 3.5, but you're right that more bloat is bad.

PSA if anyone hasn't already tried, installing a Substratum theme causes the phone to get stuck at 1+ logo upon reboot

Hi!, you can open File Manager in TWRP and delete Substratum's APK and reboot phone
