Couldn't be less interested...
Nothing to do with the ZL - this should be in the Android General forum.
Beak me off a piece of that KitKat bar yo!
In all seriousness, all we know is a name so far. There are rumors under the key lime pie codename but that's it. We won't be seeing an official ROM from Sony on the ZL until Q4 2014 or even H1 2015. We will be lucky if we have 4.3 officially by the end of the year.
Saying all that. The version numbers aren't very important now that Google has separated most of their services from their OS. In a way that is very good because we get most of the latest features that gets rolled out with the various gapps updates without having to wait for the features to be updated with the ROM.
Since I like to rock it stock, I am looking forward to an official 4.3 release for our phone to have native TRIM support.

I'm pretty unhappy at the idea of a release of an operating system for my phone being free promotion for another company.. particularly one like Nestlé. It's unnecessary and inappropriate, imho.
Ya the promotion is totally unnecessary..
Let's see what this update brings..
And yeah we might only see this next year for our devices.. I wonder if officially though

Google hit a point where there's no more innovation. It used to be every time an Android update hit, massive sweeping changes were implemented that completely changed the experience. Now, we're lucky if it's smoother or better battery life.
I keep hoping they will announce 5.0, but even then I have to wonder exactly what they would have as a feature to make you go "WOW!"

I don't see the problem with the cross promotion. It came out of a Google engineer's genuine enjoyment of the confection that resulted in a friendly promotional deal that benefited both parties without money changing hands. This is a rarity in business.

As for innovation, I don't think we will see anything major for a little while. The core experience had made a huge leap with the introduction of Android 4.0. Google has been introducing small changes that, as a user, I wouldn't have known about if I didn't keep up with tech news. For the most part, technical changes to the OS can really be mostly appreciated by the developers and those of use that care about technical details. Most users are given updates and innovations in the form of updated Google apps and services which Google has been separating from the underlying OS. In the cases where we don't like things that Google provides, we have the great developers here who help us make the most of what we want; the way we want it. ArsTechnica did a pretty good writeup if you want to read it.

It's still business, and Nestle benefits from it greatly. Nestle are a company with a very, very dirty history and if I wanted to support them, I'd buy their products - which I don't. Ever. This deal gives free advertising to them and their products and if I want the latest version of Android, I do not have a choice but to buy into that. If the Google engineer enjoys that confection, he should go out and buy a ton of it with his salary and that should be the end of it having anything to do with Android.

I think the icons for the apps are way too big for our note. I personally think it was better before when we could actually see more apps before scrolling.
Eh... it definitely could show more on one page like it did before. I rarely go through lists of apps except for when setting up my phone after a flash. I did end up turning my phone sideways and then it showed the apps list similar to how it did before

This design is good for the elderly and hard to see people. Kind of like the Big Launcher.
But for me, I would like to see more on one screen.
I prefer the previews version.
Not sure if it's possible but yeah, it would be neat if someone could maybe modify it.
So far I hate the new layout. I liked it better before

+1 many times on the previous version. When turning pages, icons seem way too big.
Someone on Google has an increased visual prescription :silly:
I don't care for it very much. Seems like a more childish version of the store, were as the previous version seemed more mature and had a nicer style to it.
I really hope this isn't what to expect for key lime pie
noted for future reference on my Note 2
I just went through every layout available with hybrid properties in Paranoid Android and I couldn't find one I don't hate.
The best looking one was actually the 360p, the others have even fewer apps per page.
What were they thinking?!

I don't like it. Looks like the play store lost it edge. It's to big, to immature looking, and if it could display all my previous purchases that would be great.
I think the previous purchases are there. Just that the icons are 1000x bigger.
It's horrible for reasons mentioned. I tried it in a early release and quickly switched back to my modded version. Just look for modded versions and find one that doesn't auto update. I imagine they will become more popular soon enough. It was such a bad choice that I hope that dept or designer gets fired. What a sh!theaded move...

Or hit by a bus. It is complete and utter crap. You'd think they'd have learned from seeing Microsoft suffer with Win 8. Don't make massive UI changes that people can't opt out of. Yes I know you can access the desktop in W8, but you need Classic Shell or other stuff to get a proper start menu.

Yup... Same reason why I'm stickin with my Win7/Linux setup for a couple of more years. I was kinda excited initially but got turned off the more and more they released hints and sneak peaks for 8. I haveven considered a iMac. I helped purchase and setup one for my in-laws. Yup they're old and technologically inept lol! I wanted to sandbox them without worrying about too many viruses. Last model winxp they had (too cheap to run decent antivirus) drove me insane. My dad (graphics artist) has been preaching the praises of apple for years (way before iPod was a twinkle in Steve Job's brain) and has one also. I have to admit it is pretty nice for some things but is still too limited IMHO. Thinking about EVER owning an Apple product makes me cringe no offense cause some of em are great products just too hipster and limited in capacity.
Back to Playstore (still think the name change was stupid)... Maybe they could make it have different file views like file explore r or multiple views based on DPI a compromise next UI overhaul. I wonder sometimes if Google is making poor choices the more mature Android gets. Over simplifying things just because of the fact that a few critics claim Android is too complicated isn't a great thing. Sometimes things get more confusing and lose fuctionality in the process of simplification. Thank goodness this just a isolated case with playstore and maybe a couple of things for now. It could be way worse. Android is still the greatest mobile player around but they better continue to listen to the little guy and developers especially on the eve of Ubuntu Mobile which could take a piece of the pie.
im very happy with it they removed the dumb ass page after installing / updating apps :good:
The store seems to be going downhill ever since they renamed it from Google Market to Play Store.
it doesnt bother me. It looks much better inverted though. . I wish Google would bring back the purchased tab

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
My story begins when I took a visit to a t-mobile store and purchased my first smart phone: a my touch 3g slide. I learned a lot from that tank of a device. I think I spent 8 hours or more reading xda before I finally gained root access.
I love android for way too many reasons than I can list here. But my top reasons include:
Not being locked down to what some corporation says I will enjoy.
Having a sense of community on XDA with like-minded individuals.
Having the freedom to truly make my device mine.
Getting a new hobby which I'm constantly intellectually simulated and challenged.
Being able to perform tasks that usually could only be performed on my computer on the go.
To say that Android has changed my life for the better would be an understatement. Not only has it made my communications easier, is made a lot of my daily tasks either automated, faster or streamlined.
I can't think of any mobile platform that can currently accomplish everything android can. At least not so effortlessly. Many have made the claim but anyone who does their research knows that the claims are false.
I love android because it let's me make my phone the way I want it.

^^^Isn't that breaking the rules of the contest? LoL
Why do I love android?
I love android because of the freedom it offers. Its not limited to one phone, released by one company, released once a year. Android hasn't really changed the way I look for a smart phone, but XDA sure has.
How I came to Android and how it has positively impacted my day to day routine?
Well, like many others, I was an apple fanboy at one time and I had that one friend that had to rub in my face how much better his android phone was than my iPhone 2g (my favorite iPhone of them all...seriously). I got tired of my friend showing of his android phone (the original droid with the keyboard) so I traded my iPhone 2g for a Mytouch 3g with the 3.5mm headphone jack. Oh my god, I fell in love with android, being able to add widgets to the home screen blew my mind. Ever since I've had nothing but android devices (I played with an iPhone here and there, couldn't resist). Android has not positively impacted my life in any way, shape or form. It made me discover XDA and then I became a flash-aholic (may need a 12-step program lol). To be serious, android has positively impacted my life, it made me realize how much more I can do and allows me to do with a phone.
Android Superior?
Yes and no. Without the Devs and helpful members here on XDA, I think I would be on the borderline of switching back to an iPhone. The main reason I like iphones is because of the battery life and the stability of the OS. Without XDA, we would be stuck with whatever Google and the OEM gives us, which is fine for average user who just texts, uses internet, play games and make calls as well as download a home screen replacement and a few widgets, but most of us here on XDA are here for a reason. In some ways Android is superior to other OS's, but in other ways the other OS's are superior.
Hello,
Has anybody seen the announcement ?
http://www.android.com/kitkat/
The next version of Android 4.4 shall be named KitKat, and it has already its own statue in front of Android building !

It's our goal with Android KitKat to make an amazing Android experience available for everybody.

So basically they say: We want to make sure Android has an amazing experience on all devices.
AKA: Performance optimization, less RAM usage by system, faster app loading. At least, that's what I guess
so, what are the odds of the Gnex getting this? even with the possible performance optimization.
Does the fact Google didn't jump a full version number bode well for us nexus folk?

if I get this correctly, Google is working on something that would be available for all, or at least for the majority of devices? How can this possibly take place? Is Google trying to establish one version of its own OS for all, same as the iOS goes for all iphones, and then evolve that? Maybe with some small code changes for different type of phones? Kinda confusing statement but I guess its good news. Boy, I can see how the upcoming update will put XDA forums on fire. And definately this is going live by the end of this year.
PS: Judging by the name Google must have paid a great amount of money as using a name/brand of chocolate that popular is a great deal.
Android 4.4 should use Google's 4.8 toolchain! :good:
where is the OTA ?!?
That's the next question for the next days
And mad props for google in breaking the main news of the day.

apparently, google went to nestle (or who ever makes KitKats) and they reached a "no money changed hands" deal in 24 hours.
its a good deal for both IMO.
google would have to pay for the kitKat name, KitKat gets free advertising, everyone is happy with no money.
I think google just wanted the name, and it happened to work out that KitKat was OK with that and happy for the advertising.
i would personally never buy a KitKat, but now that i have a chance to win something android, i am going to be buying up the stores
I wouldn't put much stock into the "available to everybody" phrase on the KitKat Android page.
The closest we've had is the slow trickle of apps being unpaired from the system core and launched on Google Play instead.
That's assuming we're even talking about software, that line is so vague it could mean anything (and possibly nothing, just marketing talk due to the 1 billion device activations).
for me what matters is "an amazing Android experience", I think something about a better user interface probably
in my opinion it's still not sure if we get it or not
Ps: on the bottom of the page it says: "Sign up to learn more when we launch the release", so it's not going to launch soon..1-2 months?
Pps: http://kitkat.com/ website is down, too much visits probably, they are having a break

Thanks!
It's on the way.
You can be sure, that at least omni and cm team are working on it.

Sweet.
Really sad theres no news of official lollipop yet
Its really sad to see that oppo has such a good phone but the software development is far behind every one here. Flagships like s5 or htc one m8 are already on their way of getting official lollipop while these guys are still stuck with 4.4.4 betas.
Dirty unicorns are too I'm pretty sure.
And while Oppo isn't the quickest with their own software, they are the only manufacturer actively encouraging custom ROMs, actually helping us with rooting and lend a helping hand when accidentally bricking our phones instead like others that either don't care at all (best case) or laughingly flip us the bird and telling us the warranty is now void forever.
That's worth more to me. (and residing in Sweden usually means waiting months longer for updates than the rest of the world)
Custom ROMs have always been more fun than stock anyway. Android shouldn't be about being the best device out of the box, it should be like LEGOs, turning it into whatever you want it to be. Making it the best device for YOU

Yeah, and they ARE trying to improve their process for stock firmwares too. The problem is - they're obviously understaffed and having trouble hiring people with experience to fix this. (Since they have no physical presence in the West, and that makes it hard to hire Western developers as many aren't willing to relocate.)
From my end, I'm just happy it's being worked on. I have nothing but good things at this point to say about OPPO. Cool company.

Very true, and they are the first Chinese smartphone manufacturer to really make a break for the international market. I'm sure there is quite a bit of hurdles that needs to be dealt with along the way.
In this day and age though, it would be fairly easy to arrange for some type of remote consulting work not requiring relocation.
I could think of a few developers on the spot that would be a tremendous gain for Oppo... *looking hintingly on Entropy512*

Part of the issue is, many of the people qualified to help Oppo here already HAVE jobs and might not want to leave them. Or if they want to leave them, the circumstances have to be right. For example, I really can't consider leaving my job unless it's a long-term thing. After the Cyngn N1 fiasco, I can understand Oppo being extremely cautious regarding making long-term commitments to be dependent on outside partners.
CyanogenMod is currently working on it. I must say it works pretty well considering it hasn't even made it to nightlies yet. It should be great once nightlies and milestones start rolling out.

The latest OTA is version 11.2.8.8.LE15AA, I think that one in the screenshot is the full version download preceding the latest OTA updates, but IDK for sure lol
Edit - my default kernel was built on Jul 8 2021, and android security date/level is 7/1/21 ... HTH
I read about OnePlus getting new people to make a team to work on Open Beta for 9/9Pro.
I like that!
New team is not something to like. It might be good but also be a disaster. Questions should be asked like WHY????? are they getting a new team? What happened to all the revenue they made and how are they using it? Who is controlling the company, One Plus or the Chinese government? Why the delay to begin with. I realized DP1 was developers preview and not beta but why not allow Google updates for DP 2 and three. Who cares that Oxygen was not on it yet. Now that stability been reached with Beta, let's us Early Adopters adopt. I refuse to buy a Google Pixel love my one plus but was so excited that it allowed BL to be unlocked but I feel let down by OP. Perhaps my expectations were unrealistic to begin with

This update is from June. (end of the month)
There's an update (11.2.8.8) from July. (end of month)
So, following this logic, this week OnePlus might release a new one.

I'd be more worried if the US government was running it like apple with the new back door.

Lol US government and Chinese as well because even though apple says they are all American blah blah but they are manufactured in China as well. Just all marketing etc

I also think not only priorities of people's lives but also Android itself and the huge slowdown of phone evolution. Actual since smartphone sales slowed companies like apple and Google created smart watches to help increase revenues. They first used the old nostalgic movies like knight rider or James bond to sell them even though Smart watches cannot do anything close to what the movies portrayed. You can make flippable phones but you won't see hologram s coming out of your phone. I know we love to always think of our technology being limitless but that dam law of physics keeps getting in the way. So now they will start with AR glasses with WebView capabilities. And when that fails, which it will because who wants a HUD I'm their line of sight. In 30 years we will events have implants and chips that will help the brain and technology link. Isn't it Neurolink that exists now. That technology is decades away. Because again we do not know how the body/brain will react and now I'm having flashback from the movie Black Mirror.

Ain't no updates that can save this POS.
the support update page is only updated from time to time, it does not repesent the actual stage of the software.
At this point 11.2.8.8 is up 2 date. OnePlus updates bi-monthly.

There's closed beta testing so maybe devs are focusing to it. Sad to see no fix for Gmail notification bug...

I think the gmail app just sux. I've experienced the late notifications across quite a few devices personally.
Oxygen sucks because of google. The more google on it the more bad Oxygen will be.
Also the King of Bloatware, samsung already gets Androis 12.
And OnePlus release 9R or something...
They are starting the ultimate consolidation of Oxygen OS into Color OS. How is OnePlus going to manage all these phones? Do they even have enough staff to manage all these phones?
Unfortunately they only update bi-monthly.
I saw a user suggest on their official forums basically say "hey guys, how about monthly updates like your competition?" in a friendly way, and a mod basically said **** off and closed the thread. I wasn't impressed.
This was my first OnePlus device, maybe my last.
That 12 Beta debacle was ridiculous.
After having the 7, 8, & 9 Pro, I will be leaving the building as well!
Is this a joke? About month last update and now ppl are think this is over. How do u even can survive this life?
I like how people actually think theres a decent alternative to oneplus these days. At least not in the US. Maybe google if the pixel 6 is actually premium/flagship this time. Otherwise theres no other brand with an unlockable bootloader, which is how they get away with so much bloat. Personally im fine of oneplus becomes a little more like the others as long as the hardware is premium and the bootloader is unlockable.
9 Pro is my first and last phone from OP if they can't get they BS sorted out. The phone has horrible battery life, scrolling issues, and it doesn't get better with next updates. Also, wtf is that BS with the bi-monthly update scheudle? A device like this should be fixed ASAP, the users are experiencing problems and neet to wait, the hell is that policy? Would they wait 2 months to release an update if someone would find a security bug too? So stupid. Get your **** together OnePlus.
