[Q] Android 4.4 KitKat? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys,
after the release of the nexus 5 and the announcement of android 4.4 kitkat, it seemed that the focus is to bring the new os to as many devises as possible, and the say it will work well on phones with as little as 500mb of ram.
if this is so, do you think that a 4.4 rom for our dear old desire world be better than say any 4.x roms?
anyways, this is my first post so sorry if its wrong in any way

I believe that the community version 4.4 Kit Kat will follow in short time. It is last chance for my desire to wake up.

This is good news. That means that Android 4.4 isn't that different from Android 4.3. We will probably see a build for the Desire as well.

hopefull

I have also got the launcher app and a few others from the nexus 5 system dump. I'm still on VJ jb 4.2.2 v6.3. And it works quite well. I might try to build a 4.4 ROM for our beloved desires , but its still gonna be a long way off as 4.3 is still in its alpha/beta stage.
Anyways I'm looking forward to bring a new lesh of life to our dyi g desire.

[Q] rom update

are all developers working on getting android 4.2 on the s3 i747?
just wondering
thanks
Take a look at the Android Original Development Forum for this device. Task650 has released an AOKP 4.2 based ROM with minor bugs and CM has released official 10.1 which is 4.2.1. These builds are only 5 days old and contain some minor bugs.

Yes, which is why there are overall less updates being rolled out. The 2 mentioned above are the only 2 at the moment that actually work. There's 2 more I believe, but they're there so that people can help with it's development. They're not fit for every day use. Task's 4.2 is pretty neat, but it's missing a lot of the old aokp features and has (as stated) some minor, but very noticeable bugs. Personally, I'm waiting for the 4.2 release of paranoidkangdroid. And if you want something very stable and nearly bug free. Wait another week or two, maybe three.

At the moment, there's no 4.2
The only 4.2 option is CM 10.1 right now. I doubt we will see 4.2 officially until some time after the S IV is released with 4.2
Try one of the cm based builds. I've been on the slimbean Rom for about a week and its absolutely fantastic. Great interface tweaks and great battery life. I haven't had any issues with it at all. Faux kernel is what I've been running with.

I think you'll only need to wait for another couple months. With the S4 being launched today, you'll likely see the code released as an update for the older devices.
The only real question is if the premium suite will be included and if so, will it include some of the new S4 features?

CM10.1 is not the only 4.2.2 ROM. You forgot AOKP, Slim Bean, LiquidSmooth...

[Q] Android Kit Kat 4.4 for HTC Desire?

As Android Kit Kat 4.4 is released, is some one building or plan to build custom ROM for HTC Desire (Bravo)?
Have searched everywhere but no luck as yet.
Look in the Dev Section , there is thread by nikez his 4.3 Android , in there u can see picture that nikez is working on K3 and on KitKat

It's a shame there's no 4.4 for old devices... Google complains there's big fragmentation in Android versions but at the same time it does not even update system for their Nexus One phone which could easily handle A4...

If the companies would make Android 4.0+ for old devices , few people would buy the new ones .. well maybe not few but less .. and if course , it cost them money to develop the Android 4.0+ on these devices .. All they want is money so .. no hope for official updates.

Fragmentation comes from morons who try to completely rewrite the framework and are too lazy or slow to update it with the core android ie touchwiz...sounds like a dirty priests chat room name anyway.

Does anyone have a link to where I could download the rom?
Thanks
You can always find the latest nightly here.
Just have a look at this section. There are several 4.4 ROM's. I'm using the Evervolv Rom with the nightly from 17.12.2013 and it works like a charm. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766550)

Android KitKat Release date

Hello,
I saw on developers forum Android KitKat , I installed it and it was not like on picture of google.
So i am wandering When will be official Android 4.4 ?
TNX
Our phone won't get the official update. Google has dropped support for the GNEX
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Lol, wait couple months you might get a stable unofficial version of kitkat, gnex is old an outdated now so best upgrading to nexus 5 if you want any chance of software updates from now on.
[email protected]!!!!!! its so sucks
thank you ;'D

Man, it doesn't take much effort to make GNex look exactly like the screenshot from Nexus 5. Flash any of those 4.4 unofficial ROMs out there and a proper gapps, and all that's left is your patience to set it up properly. Aside from the lockscreen transparency, everything looks identical to a Nexus 5, I can say.

That's out of discussion... Appearance like a Nexus 5 is the focus.

Is 4.3 on the G pad?

Sorry if this an obvious question, but I'd really like to know if I'd have to root/unlock it to flash some more recent Android version.
Speaking of which, how difficult is it to flash/unroot?
At least put an effort into researching.

No there are no roms for this tablet at this time.

Lmao post with no answer.. put some effort its just 2-3 keys "no" then "yes" WOOT!
No man not yet. They do have plans to.
It's true that the answer is a simple no. But I had to learn the hard way when I first jumped into this site a few years ago that people do not like to be asked questions that are easy to answer. You don't even have to look on this website. Simply look at the spec sheet on LG's website and you will see that it comes with 4.2 .2. There is already a rootkit out for the device but no roms at this time. I honestly don't think you need a newer version at this time. 4.2 .2 jelly bean does everything you need in my opinion. Otherwise get a Nexus device. I have a Nexus 4 running Kit Kat Paranoid Android and Franco kernel and I couldn't be happier. But when it comes to my tablet I just wanted for basic consumption and a stock Android is perfectly fine. Just my opinion.

What is it that you are going to gain from updating to 4.3? The bigger number? There is a lot more that can be improved in the ROM than going to 4.3

would like Android 4.3 or later to enable opengl es 3.0 support for games. Hopefully lg comes out with an update soon.
i would like to see cyanogen mod 11 or pac rom much more than official updates of LG
