Should be smoother and the Magazine UI. Kitkat was designed to work on lower spec devices than Jelly Bean. There are man many more differences. If you check Wikipedia, they do a good job of listing the changes.

My note 3 with kitkat is definitively smoother responsive and the battery is much better even without the ART runtime.

Now THIS is news worth waking up to. I just got my 10.1 last week, and was impatiently waiting for M-UX. I loved using it at CES.

Excellent. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for someone to grab the file we can use in Odin

KitKat on my Nexus 5 FLIES.

I will get mine tomorrow. Should I root my first, then update? Or just directly update.

jherring002 · Feb 18, 2014

Got my note 10.1 2014 a couple of weeks ago and love our. Hopefully I can get kit Kat on it soon. I'm itching to get kitkat on one of my devices. And being that my att s4 had is with att, I doubt I will get that soon.

Thanks. In that case, if I root the tablet now, can I get the Kitkat update when it is available? I am really a new comer to these things.

rushless · Feb 18, 2014

Not sure if you need to bother rooting, since the device rocks already IMO. I use Nova UI, so even better for me.

My understanding is if you root, you will break OTA and can not download future Samsung Android Updates.

When rooted you can download winamp exposed and under system hacks you can click system status to official. It will make the tab think it isn't rooted. Then u can still get ota. You will have to root again after downloading but that doesn't take long

You will need to flash the New Firmware+ new bootloader via Odin from a PC. But you will be able to run KitKat in your device

I don't think the OTA will actually install though. I think just re-enables the ability to check for them. I could be wrong, but that was my understanding of it.
I'm used to the Nexus world where none of this **** matters, lol
