Installed AOSP Build

I Installed AOSP Build in my N4 and here's what I've observed:

1. Hotword (OK google) works in the homescreen.

2. HDR is available in N4 but in KitKat site, they've mentioned a HDR+ mode which will be available only in N5. That could be because it uses the Optical Image Stabilization.

3. AOSP does not have the new launcher. Had to install the new launcher separately.

4. I don't know how is the wallpaper preview in N5 but here when selecting the wallpaper I can touch on the pic, which will hide the selector and I can see the wallpaper, status bar and navigation bar alone. The wallpaper can even be scrolled horizontally.

5. Lockscreen widgets seems to be missing, except for the camera. Just came to know that the option is available in security settings.

6. Installing latest google keyboard apk and enabling it in settings made the 'back' softkey stop working. As soon as I disabled the Google Keyboard, it started working again. Weird!

For lockscreen widgets, go to Settings > Security

When a facory images will be released? It should be quickier than OTA ('in a few weeks').

Nobody knows, people should stop asking that. I'm patiently waiting for it myself, don't want to spoil it with half-assed AOSP attempts :P

I may be too late but install the English language pack. In settings language/input.
[Nexus 4 General] Indiwiz:
According to one of the comments, that line if code has been there since 1.6. But even if it hasn't, there looks like there's gonna be an option to disable it.
[Nexus 4 General] Aashrey99:
Let it release for all the Nexus devices. Maybe it's that way on the site because the nexus 5 is the ONLY device that has 4.4 as of today. Stuff like 'OK Google' is a feature of the launcher apk, not the OS itself. I'm using the launcher from 4.4 and it hotword detection works just fine.

In any case everyone on this thread needs to chill out. Speculation will only frustrate everyone.
[Nexus 4 General] wbaw:
Looks like they're keeping more features proprietary & releasing less aosp source with every new Android release. Not good news. Can really start to see why Jean-Baptiste Quéru quit now.

Anyone else notice that chrome (and anything that uses its engine) now has the one finger zoom like Google maps! Or am I dumb and this isn't new?

good read but a little biased imo. gotta understand where google's coming from. can't really say anyone didn't see this coming though..
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
Does the N5 have the DSP from the Moto X that powers always listening mode? It so, then that could be a reason for the feature being exclusive, the battery drain would be massive without those components.

Of course this is pure speculation since I haven't tested OK Google for an extended period to compare battery performance.

It's pretty bad now that there's the launcher, browser & keyboard all closed source with AOSP stuck on old versions.

Anyone elve seeing any lag? Driving me crazy lol
[Nexus 4 General] haelmchen:
Sent from your Galaxy Nexus? Maybe it is lagging because this is a Nexus 4 thread.

Else this is a very very early release. If it's lagging. wait for a stable release.
[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
What this basically means is that Google are stripping AOSP down to its bones. Very interesting read indeed and shows perfectly that Google, despite seemingly being this friendly company, in its core is still a corporation like any other prioritizing survival and growth of its products over anything else. Which is understandable of course, because this is what competition based economy endorses - to cripple, or better yet, not to have any competition.

Btw, I do prefer the AOSP browser over Chrome. It's a shame it's been abandoned because this was the first browser since 4.1 I didn't feel the need to replace. Fast, minimalistic, introduced quick controls that probably laid the ground for the popular PIE in custom roms (if I'm not mistaken). Chrome... the short time I used it, wasn't nearly as impressed.

I do hope they don't scrap AOSP altogether, because it's better to have the skeleton than nothing at all.
[Nexus 4 General] ROFLkopter:
The Nexus 5 port is running sweet for me. No lag, force closes or anything. Only been running a few hours so far though, but it's so far, so good. Buttery smooth, responsive and I don't know if it's just me thinking it, but the colors seem to have improved over 4.3. They don't look as washed out as before.

Everything works as it should and Google Voice Search is greatly improved, picking up almost everything I say, whereas before it made quite a lot of mistakes and saying "OK Google" works great.

Overall, so far I'm really impressed. Looking forward to the official N4 factory images.

I'm amazed by KitKat so far. This isn't even an official build and it's smoother than 4.3 for me once I tweaked it a bit. I was contemplating picking up an N5, but this is surely fast enough for me.

Can't wait to see what the official build does.
[Nexus 4 General] Goku80:
normally id flash it within a heartbeat..but i kinda changed my stance lately over rooting now....do not get me wrong i will still flash the hell out of my phone...but for now i am really happy with stock....waiting patiently either for OTA or the factory images...do not want to do flash anything no matter how great they are i rather do the official way this time round
[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
Yeah, this is like a personality test - the strong wait for the official channels :p
[Nexus 4 General] forever_lol:
I really like this port and KK. I wasn't a huge enthusiast when I saw screenshots leaks, but I totally changed my mind after playing around with it. Port seems very stable even though it's not as smooth as my 4.3 daily driver at this stage (I gotta admit swiping between homescreens and opening animations are choppy here and there). On the other hand I believe stable version (factory images) will be smoother than 4.3.
[Nexus 4 General] Goku80:
like i said..not to fussed about how long it will take to get the update...normally id flash back since nothing has been released yet but apps like Sky Go i need to be unrooted to be able to use it..plus am getting better battery life on stock than any other kernel rom combo out there:D

Soon 4.4 will be in our grasp and I'll get to enjoy my 60hrs of music playback according to Google.

Yes, I will listen to 60hrs and no more, no less. Even as I drive into the sun I will be tuned out, for as long as thine counter and battery enable thy soul, for this vessel will thrive off the tunes of the heavens. Be damned the days for restraintment by walls, begone the days of listening to the incessant audible individuals.

Hey guys! I'm new in this XDA Developers forum (And my first message too... ;) )And I have a question for you guys:

As far as I have read on the Internet, the new nexus 5 will have some exclusive features of Android 4.4 Kitkat, but while I was reading the post on the Android site, I found this text:

So I'm wondering if you guys know if the Nexus 4 will get those transparent/translucent system and navigation bars like it's shown in the Nexus 5 photos with the OTA Update.

I really would like to know it, 'cause I'd love to have that feature in my phone...

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
I'm fairly sure it will. The asterisk sentence mentions wallpaper preview, at least that's what I got out of it.
[Nexus 4 General] craigbailey1986:
Well with the port and the aosp built rom it has it. So I assume it will have it too....

Is it just me or the battery on aosp 4.4 by Francisco Franco is really amazing!?

2 hours, 37 mins screen on time and 33% battery left

This is the most I have managed to get on stock!
[Nexus 4 General] sub1287:
Yikes that's not that good. Avg nexus battery life should be around 3.5 - 4.5 on any setup and can go as high as 7.5-8 under the right circumstances.

from my Kit Kat/Trinity v4a[n⁴]
[Nexus 4 General] darkrai:
That's because my usage is really heavy

Spent 2.5 hours on chrome and Google+

½ hour on dead trigger 2 with ultra high graphics (few framedrops, still amazing graphics)

And just started playing nds on drastic right now

I could go higher with any 4.3 ROM with custom kernel, but on stock, battery always sucked!

If my score actually is pretty low for the tasks I have done, I'm selling my nexus4 and buying a nexus5 :D

Did anyone check if now the toggles present in Quick settings can be used all the same?

For ex, the wifi can be started/stopped by hard pressing. The 3g one was only a shortcut so it couldn't do that.
[Nexus 4 General] Lt.Win:
Yup, its all the same. I can hold WiFi to switch it on or off. Mobile network however is only a shortcut.
[Nexus 4 General] eksasol:
Sorry, but you're exaggerating. While I do get good battery life with my N4, some people do more than just have the screen turned on with all data and signal turned off and running lowest brightness. It is universally agreed that the N4 don't have great battery life. Its true that the battery life seems to improve with KitKat.
[Nexus 4 General] meangreenie:
Kitkats faulty mpdecion, because of wrong binaries, where touch boost min cpu doesn't work will improve battery life some.. At the expense of smoothness.

For everyone who wants to make their icons in the app drawer smaller, reduce LCD density to 300 from 320 in the build prop!

Magic! :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] cyberon:
I don't mind them being big, what bothers me is the blurriness, any way to improve that maintaining the size?
[Nexus 4 General] darkrai:
I see a little more sharpness on 270dpi

Much sharper than the one on 320

However, it makes my phone look like a phablet! (Which I like)

So, I love it!
[Nexus 4 General] cyberon:
But that method reduces the size, all i wanted was to increase sharpness.

I hope this is a issue whit the launcher being from N5, with the N4 720p screen having blurry icons is a major "no no" to me. :(
[Nexus 4 General] jadephyre:
Yeah, right, you try building a new kernel with old binaries from 4.3 that performs significantly better than kernels that were made for 4.3.

As long as the new binaries are not out, it is next to useless trying to make a new custom kernel.
[Nexus 4 General] RealSlimShadyMC:
Is there any modifications I can do to the new launcher to correct the icon grid?? Smaller icons or a 4x5 grid please
[Nexus 4 General] mefistos:
you can only change DPI in build.prop ...
[Nexus 4 General] RealSlimShadyMC:
Okay :( that's bad, I don't want to affect anything else apart from the app grid :P guess I'll wait until Google release an official then :D
[Nexus 4 General] mefistos:
I dont think you will be able to change the grid... maybe when the original 4.4 is released due to changed resolution it will end up with 4x5 grid... you can always use another launcher:D
[Nexus 4 General] RealSlimShadyMC:
That's true but I love the new launcher; the hotword recognition is really useful for me, I love the UI but the app grid is just there like a ginger kid in a black family

[Nexus 4 General] galaxyfitankit:
agreed bro after google announced that galaxy nexus wont be getting updated to kitkat i seriosly doubt the fate of nexus 4...they declared 18 months window period of update..and later on saying that tiomap company no more making chips ...what the hell its google who decides the hardware of nexus and its there responsibilty to choose the company properly next year they'll say snapdragon not giving us driver details of s4 pro chip or lg says they want there share of sandwich...so we not giving update to nexus...
[Nexus 4 General] Goku80:
no no no you getting things wrong. not to fussed about not getting updates after 18 months....that is part of the parcel..well not really should be minimum 2 years but whatever but what is annoying that we do not have instant updates as say the iphone...when apple says the will release and update you get it there and then..when android well we know the mess now...nexus devices should get updated from the get go....i do not want to root my device no more...stock is more than good enough but why we are not getting the updates is beyond me why wait for a few weeks:mad:

agreed bro this is my first nexus device ...i bought it just to get instant and latest update was tired of rooting n flashing stuff...wanted peace...hope we get ota in 1 or 2 days:))))
[Nexus 4 General] masterofmayhem:
My guess would be Tuesday. If you remember, ICS hit the nexus s the day after the gnex was physically available. Since some of the N5 orders went out with 2 day shipping, that puts the phone out in the wild on Monday. So the rest of the Nexis line gets it on Tuesday.
[Nexus 4 General] galaxyfitankit:
could be...they seriosly dont want people tasting kitkat before nexus 5 guys would recieve there devics...agreed

Yeah, but it doesn't make us less frustrated :) I know that Google isn't non profit organisation, but this situation looks like: hey you want new android fast? Then buy yourself a new nexus... or wait nobody knows how long. I'm not expecting Google to release it the same day as n5, let them have some income, but it would be nice for all other nexus users if they stated some real date for us. That is in my opinion not fair what's happening, that's all.
