I found this a bit amusing. I have a Verison Moto G (8GB, model XT1028) used primarily as a toy for my 4 year old son. Got it for $50. I also have the unlocked GSM edition Moto X XT1053. The Verizon Moto G updated to 4.4.4 today, while my Moto X is on 4.4.3.
As I've stated before, I understand why this is. But, I can still be amused by it

Nothing for the XT1052...this is getting boring when carrier devices are getting updated before a non carrier unlocked phone.
Is your bootloader unlocked?
@Mykalmunlight :
EDIT: upon reviewing your posts, it appears you HAVE unlocked your BL through the china middleman. This is why you still have root.
Without this information, your post is confusing. Others who are not unlocked may read it and assume they can continue to root with PIE or TowelPieRoot once on 4.4.4.
Just to clear it up for everyone: UNLESS YOUR BL IS UNLOCKED, YOU ---WILL--- permanently LOSE root if you update to 4.4.4. You will lose root FOREVER. (unless some new exploit comes along which is unlikely, at best)

Is there anyone that is not part of the official soak test that could chime in on experience so far. And I don't mean battery life because that's subjective and its too early to tell anyways.
But more like touchless / active notf. Ect that either working better/worse or the same.

Not part of soak. I downloaded and installed the OTA ZIP posted in this thread.
I have a Dev Ed, boot loader unlocked, and rooted. I flashed stock recovery back, I had renamed a few APK files (backup assist related) and I had to name them back, then installed the OTA zip.
Went well, so far so good, but I only flashed this morning, so not long enough to know if its better or worse

Not part of SOAK, Verizon Moto X Dev Edition, rooted, Xposed, TWRP recovery, Titanium Backup frozen apps.
Disabled Xposed, Flashed stock Recovery, installed the OTA.zip posted in this thread. After boot, re-enabled Xposed and the modules I used.
Just installed this morning, not much to report at this time. Moto Alert is included (there is an update in the Play Store), looks like Cloud Print has been updated as the Play Store no longer shows an update available.
Does anyone have a link to the stock recovery image, without having to download the whole 600 meg firmware package? Im just looking for stock recovery for 4.4.2.
Thanks.
Thanks.
I sideloaded the update on my Verizon Moto X and the first thing I noticed is Android OS is using much fewer cpu cycles and I have gotten a big increase in battery life so far. Running ART and on WiFi I've used 21% of my battery in the last 4hrs and 45min. Prior to this update with Dalvik (I couldn't use ART because I had a severe battery drain) I would get about 1hr per 10% of standard usage. Overall things are greatly improved and I'm loving this update.
So finally you will stay on ART or Dalvik?
What's the difference in performance between the two in the last update (4.4.4)?
Sent from my XT1052 using XDA Free mobile app
Remember: You can't used Xposed with ART.
Some people don't realize it, but if you install Xposed it automatically switches you back to Dalvik. Many still think they are on ART.
You can thank the Xposed DEV for this. If it didn't automatically switch you back to Dalvik, you would be in a boot-loop.....
If you don't use Xposed, don't worry about this.
Can I apply this one on xt1058 with bootloader locked?!
Its change my modem frequencies, verizon is GSM LTE or CDMA?!
thanks

Gotcha. Yeah, it wasn't in the app drawer. Had to manually update it via the Play store.

As for people saying 4.4.4 causes really terrible battery drain on the Moto X, I'm going to have to disagree. Here's my day after I updated to 4.4.4 and switched to ART (again).
I do have Google Location Reporting disabled and the phone set to Device Only location with Wifi kept on only when plugged in.
My GSam average from Feb 12 includes 4.4 and 4.4.2. In other words, don't put poorly developed apps on your phone.44Members,
