[Q] worth going to 4.4.2? on .136 now

tommo123 · Mar 31, 2014

wondering if it's worth the time to update. i've had a look but seems that the roms aren't quite there yet in terms of stability/battery life/ issues/ ease of flashing.

If you really want KK, go ahead. It's working fine, but there are a couple of minor annoyances, like micro lag here and there. Or you can wait for the next update which I guess will pop up soon enough.

Just download an earlier version and flash it in Flashtool.

That's because Google removed sd write permissions in kit kat.

Go for it. It's awesome now after the .757 update.

One thing though; if you notice that your battery is draining quickly and your ZU is getting hot, pull out your SD card and see if that helps. If yes, you probably have one or several corrupt files on your SD card, so a format and a hunt for the guilty file will be necessary.

Ah thanks.

any suggestions for a rom? not looking for aosp really, was just messing around as it only needed a twrp install

I have been enjoying Omnirom for about a week now and it works really well.

Just downgraded to 4.3 and it is muuuuch smoother.

tommo123 · Apr 17, 2014

want to try googles new camera and afaik it needs 4.4 min

jaime4272 · Apr 17, 2014

Temptation for 4.4 I presume. This new features/apps requiring new OS to run. Sucks I'm still on 4.2.2

confirm.
4.3 is better

Sadman Khan · Apr 18, 2014

I'd say it's not worth it. There's no point sacrificing performance. Though standby battery on kit kat is better but in overall 4.3 is much much better. I just downgraded some time ago

So what are saying is that 4.3 is much much better then 4.2.2. In what way. Please explain thanks

Sadman Khan · Apr 19, 2014

4.3 is better than 4.4.2. It's faster, smoother and has less bugs. Also there are no sdcard restrictions. Performance on 4.3 is much much better
