I hate that feeling when you JUST finish updating your Nexus 5 phone to Android 4.4.3 and literally two minutes later an update to 4.4.4 gets released! UGH! Still waiting for LTE for Nexus 7.

Well people, the OTA doesn't look like it affected very much. I usually just flash whatever image from the factory image that I need because of the changes I make in the system but I just now decided for grins to flash the OTA and see if I would get any errors and I was pleasantly surprised to not see the "unexpected contents error." It happens, rarely, but it does happen. Running ElementalX kernel, busybox installed, modified calculator app in system/app, 4.4 sounds in system/media/audio/ui, modified mixer_paths.xml in system/etc, Z2 bionic and dalvik, running xposed and the OTA flashed with no errors! Woop Woop! Did have to flash the supersu zip in recovery. All good!

I don't understand why Deb is being left out either. Maybe we'll just jump into the new android version when it's announced at Google I/O. :confused:

Somehow I don't expect that'll be what happens.

Considering there had to be a 4.4.2_r2 for deb before, I suspect that whatever inspired that (which was Verizon compatibility) is the holdup now.

Can some one grab the OTA file name, URL, or the OTA itself and upload it?

Well, 4.4.4 does put us 2 releases behind now.

I can imagine a *good* developer working out a DRY unified patch (verizon & others) for 4.4.3 and 4.4.4. But, along comes management and says either (a) verizon does not accept, or (b) others like att/t-mobile/etc do not accept. A drama ensues and we have big delays.

Anyway, "4.4.2 really?" is the perfect question to *pound* on google during IO. lol

There's a theory going around that it's Verizon that is to blame for the delay, but maybe it's not the reason

    Wow guys, calm down. Remember when they announced the N7 LTE? They had to stop selling it and then it took Verizon like 6 months to approve it before Google started selling it again. Verizon has to put the updates through their dumbass approval process too, which takes weeks. Hopefully Google did what Moto did and stopped the 4.4.3 update and just resubmitted a 4.4.2 directly to 4.4.4 update. Like others have said too, it's just a small security fix, it doesn't have any special features or anything.

    That would be fine.

    If I were a Verizon customer.

    I'm NOT a Verizon customer, and Verizon can bend over and take it up the PR chute for all I care.

    Saying it's Verizon's fault is hardly a "Guys calm down" type of thing. There are reasons many of us are not Verizon customers and this kind of carp is one of those reasons.
