I have used Kit Kat for a month now and have tested Retail and O2 versions and therefore there shouldn't be any problems with a wrong flash and in both versions i have experienced micro stuttering everywhere ranging from Notification bar to going through home screens, I haven't experienced this with jelly bean as it runs more stable. I haven't noticed a difference in Network connection and drops or anything as i never experienced in Kit Kat too. Like i said it runs a bit more stable so I would flash back Jelly bean and wait for 4.4.3 or 4.5 as it should be more Stable.

You are so right! I want to go back to 4.3! Motorola made you to install the update and this is so annoying! I hope 4.4.3 will change the perfomance a bit or else the other way is to return to 4.3

Yep, i unlocked my boot loader and tried the kitkat versions but nothing helps so i have returned to jelly bean and i am so much happier! I also quickly rooted and uninstalled the "Motorola OTA" so that i dont get pushed the update and then i unrooted the device and flashed normal boot logo so everything seems normal! The only place you can check is my bootloader which has Code 3 or something so i am techincally totally stock right now! On top of that i uninstalled all the random google apps such as google + so my phone feels a tad bit snappier!

Why are you using Android in first place if you're so picky?
So random.....

Why so mad brah?!?Simple, logical questions drive you out of your creep?
Forget it, really none of my business or anyone else's as it seems....
That isn't a logical question as everyone has their own taste. Im picky which is why i use an android, i can un install all the bloat ware apps that come with the device and i can modify to however i want the phone to be like which is what I can't do with IOS and WP8. I have owned all three and have ended up selling IOS and WP8 as customisation is limited. Sorry if I came across rude as i had an exam today so I was a bit lol.

I went back to 4.3 too, for some reasons:
1) Display is more saturated
2) Performance is better, 18000+ in Antutu (I´ll try performance governor later) against 17300 in 4.4.2
3) No pink tint in photos when using led flash
4) No exposure bug in front facing camera
5) Real world performance is way better, there´s no annoying loading while opening apps like settings, play music, gallery, many oher apps open faster
6) Signal strenght is milles better
Mine is XT 1032 Retail Brazil

Also with 4.4.2 i had a problem with front facing camera where there would be these weird imperfections in the viewfinder but in the actual images it isnt there e.g. Flickering

How are you technically totally stock? Are you one of those peeps that says like, literally and quote unquote all the time? Bootloader unlocked is bootloader unlocked and not stock.

how did you guys go back to 4.3 from kitkat?
i updated my phone as soon as i got it so i dont know what the performance is like on jb on this phone.
im willing to try it if its as easy as flashing a zip or something so i can restore my nandroid backup afterwards

Perfectly right! I want to go back to 4.3 but i find the procedure difficult! And i think that it is risky...

I followed this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
Be careful to delete the correct lines (it´s not difficult), dont double click flashall.bat ( press shift, right click in a empty space ,choose open command window ,type flashall.bat /eu and press enter)

I did this procedure because my download was in a .tar.gz format. Maybe .xml.zip is even easier
Remember to backup everything you need, because your sd card will be erased
Everything went fine for me
