(sorry could not help myself :laugh

What do you mean? I wasn't bragging or putting him down, I just figured he was kind of new because PA is a very popular ROM. I would think he had heard of it, especially using multiple nexus devices.

every f*cking device i get i get screwed over, my first phone Galaxy S plus got dropped about 6months after i bought it a week into release, i then got htc one S that got dropped 12months after release and now the f*cking nexus 10 is being **** on because they have a new device coming out, i thought this kitkat was supposed to be tuned for lesser spec'ed devices ? So far all they have done is made excuses that it runs sh*t on high end hardware. The poor Galaxy Nexus has also been dumped.........what are google playing at!!!!!

Bro same here

I asked my uncle to get nexus 10 over 7,thinking nexus 10 will have amazing development but thanks to crapsungs crap CPU we have one of the sadest development of all nexus devices,And now my Xperia L also has sad development :/

+1 to the poor development of the N10. The reason I got this over an iPad is because of how great I figured the dev for nexus devices were. Its a shame that the N4, N7 , and even the GN (I believe) had 4.4 builds very quickly, and from what I've heard run pretty decently. What sucks for me is that I have a Note II, so development for that sucks also. I don't see how anyone here on XDA owns any type of Samsung devices whether Nexus or not. I know I won't be buying anymore .

I agree that development on the N10 is lackluster but there is some. Currently there are 2 KitKat builds for the Nexus 10 in original development.

I am running a build right now with transparency enabled to see what all the fuss is about.

Ok, they [google] also say that 4.4 is not going to run on gnex. Not true, as it can be seen on gnex dev forums. I think it is crappy google's device related politics to blame...

It actually has something to do with the company that made the chip for it leaving the market or something like that I read something about it

If it is so, than why all the new roms have got a shot on HTC HD2? It's not the supplier, its the developers who are responsible for all the screw-ups...

I'm saying why Google didn't make it official is because ot that. But I'm not sure myself that's just what I saw posted on the forums

Google said that they would not be making a 4.4 update for Galaxy Nexus because it fell outside their 18 month support window.

Most device companies have this policy. Devices older than a certain timeframe are declared "EOL" (end of life) and support and updates cease.

This does not mean 4.4 cannot run on the Gnex, just that Google themselves are not planing to make the update themselves. This might change with the petition, but it also might not...

4.4 has major issues in Gnex. The GPU from Texas Instruments has been abandoned by TI and has no support. As such, even though there are roms out there, they all have serious rendering issues with black squares covering the screen, "snow" when rotating devices and constant reboots from the GPU issues. Hopefully some smart devs can figure it out but that seems like a tough road ahead

Linaro still supports it, so I'm sure they'll figure something out, although, it looks like many of their fixes (such as WiFi) are pulled straight from XDA.

Nexus 10 OTA 4.4

Official Android 4.4 KitKat OTA update to Nexus 10 confirms that Translucent Bars is not there (disabled). Sadly the 4.4.1 update will be the same too. Rooting is required to enable the "TranslucentDecor" on the Nexus 10... Other devices (e.g. Nexus 7) can simply use a custom launcher to enable this feature.

Enjoy the update.

I've got it. 4.4 goodness, but without the translucent bars.

I knew I'd seen someone already post it. Also there's a thread that relates to OTA.

Fortunately it's there: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47428359&postcount=166

Does anyone know where you can edit the code in kitkat to enable transparency? Is it possible to do this through root explorer?

Easy enough to do in source code before building it but I bet it would be difficult to do on device. Once we have some updated binaries I will be running a build with transparency for sure.
