Well acording to AP it will come to all devices runing android 4.1+, which is very good news.

edit: @up yes, read here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...y-fixes-gel-on-tablets-and-more-apk-download/
[Nexus 4 General] bjacks12:
That article is slightly misleading. You still have to download an .apk for the GEL. It never promises that GEL will come officially to 4.1+. However, it is encouraging.
[Nexus 4 General] rajat_red:
Yup, I already have GEL running seamlessly since the Google Now update this morning. The only things missing are the new app icons and of course, the much-coveted transparency; which the Kitkat update will obviously fix.
[Nexus 4 General] yaatzek:
You're right, didn't read in to it. But maybe it indicates that GEL will be available in gp as a standalone app, that would make sense
[Nexus 4 General] ruzkay:
I don't understand why every android screen (even in KitKat) I see has the app-drawer icon which is a waste of space imo.

Since I got my N4 in january I've always been using the home button as a double for the app drawer. They should make this stock.^^

Trolololed from my iPhone 5S
[Nexus 4 General] Bobbyballbags:
With you there 100%. Apex launcher | tablet UI which removes dock | set home button to open app drawer. I think it is a much less cluttered android experience.
[Nexus 4 General] onetik:
I guess it might confuse the newbies.
[Nexus 4 General] Goku80:
You can also swipe from the left like action launcher had for all your apps
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Does it have the correct widget sizes now?
[Nexus 4 General] mananbond007:
Btw, helps save a lot of time...

[Nexus 4 General] ernestnwanu:
Really like GEL. Got used to it during testing the N5 port. That swipe to the left for relevant info saves that little bit of time. Some say the swipe up from the navbar does the same but I feel with GEL you don't really open an app
[Nexus 4 General] Bobbyballbags:
Using Apex? Is that Root only, I'm stock at the mo.

[Nexus 4 General] rajat_red:
The Power Toggles widget has gone from 4x1 to 3x1 which is annoying. Google Keep widget is fine since it's resizable anyway. I just use these two in addition to the Chronus widget. Any others which are supposed to have gone wonky?
[Nexus 4 General] luisjoseb:
Yes I have correct size

And now look wallpapers, appear phasebean orange. I don't see it after
[Nexus 4 General] masterofmayhem:
On my nexus 7, the widgets are still off in landscape, though not as bad as before.
[Nexus 4 General] hamad138:
Guys I have a question , why does the icons on GEL look pixeled on nexus 4?

Cant we just have hd icons or deevelopers must resize their icon first ?,thanks
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
I think the Twitter one had gone wrong, possibly the Facebook one as well. Stock News/Weather maybe? Can't remember any others off hand.
[Nexus 4 General] PGvossman:
I have to wonder now, since the nav bar and notification bar, is if launchers could also hide them entirely like apps can. I know most can hide the notification bar but I'm really curious about if nav can also be hidden on the homescreen.

And as for GEL, I installed it earlier today and I was done with it in about 10 minutes. It's not all that amazing.
[Nexus 4 General] jadephyre:
Well, what do you expect, it's basically the standard launcher that was in every 4.x version before, just with GoogleNow integration and a transparent app-drawer ;)

I just hope Apex will soon make use of the new API features and go transparent as well, there have not been any updates in a while, and that has me a bit worried.
[Nexus 4 General] prog19:
Now that we know that GEL will work for us (at least for rooted phones) i think the list of N5 exclusive features resumes to the hardware exclusive features right ?

Or there's any other thing i'm missing ?
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Root not required :)
[Nexus 4 General] Adriflipflap:
Guys, I'd like to know what is the version # of Hangouts you have in about section? Play says it's up to date but I did not get the last update I think and I don't have Google search new update either...

[Nexus 4 General] Lt.Win:
Even my Hangouts refuses to update. Shows up to date, but I don't have v2.0. It sucks not to have it. How do I make out the difference in G search?
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
It's a staged roll out, it's just not your turn yet. If it bothers you, update them manually... blogs always have the .apk handy
[Nexus 4 General] Adriflipflap:
Thanks mate :)

I'll be patient then. I thought I had problems with my play store account

[Nexus 4 General] rasengan82:
I don't get what's the issue of delayed factory images. If you need to flash back to 4.4 because you mess up flashing ROM, just flash 4.3 and then apply the 4.4 OTA...
[Nexus 4 General] ernestnwanu:
There will be a link in no time once they start pushing it. Blogs like Androidpolice are usually on top of these things.
[Nexus 4 General] RealSlimShadyMC:
New Google Search APK has the launcher built in!
[Nexus 4 General] BungleMX:
Where can I get stock recovery?
[Nexus 4 General] m_harsh:
U need to return to stock 4.3 by any of the various toolkits available...

U need to have stock rom stock recovery.... Unlocked bootloader will do..

In my opinion no need to go back to stock as flushable zip files will be available in few hours after the ota hits... N one more thing ota takes time to come Diff countries...

[Nexus 4 General] TToivanen:
No, you need to unlock the bootloader in order to flash images.
[Nexus 4 General] krvoZD:
so I'm not the only one :D
[Nexus 4 General] lowtje:
With few weeks I think they mean the OTA, which always takes longer to process. After the 4.3 announcement it took weeks for some people to get the OTA while the images where posted a couple of hours later.
[Nexus 4 General] Orry520:
Noob question.. How do i flash the image when it's out? I am currently on cm 10.2. I know it's it's through fastboot, but I have no idea what to do in fastboot

Google: " Galaxy Nexus, which first launched two years ago, falls outside of the 18-month update window when Google and others traditionally update devices".

So N4 wont be receiving Android 5.0
[Nexus 4 General] 4NDR345:
Great N5 is released...but another wait for 4.4
[Nexus 4 General] moonwalker1:
Dude, 4.4 isnt even out and you mind about 5.0?

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 4 mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 4 General] 3dawg:
Wow, am I the only one who thinks it's pretty ****ed up that the GNex isn't getting 4.4 from Google? One of 4.4's main features is how optimised it is for entry level devices with 512mb RAM. The GNex has 1GB and is plenty powerful enough to run 4.3, so why no 4.4? I don't even own one (I have a Nexus 4) but it doesn't bode well that Google simply refuses to update a device simply because it's past the 18 month window that it was released - completely ignoring that it would handle it even better than it handled 4.3.
[Nexus 4 General] SmXtrem:
So new kitKat link ;)

http://www.android.com/versions/kit-kat-4-4/

Have Funn
[Nexus 4 General] Caner092:
So Nexus 6 will mean the end of updates for our Nexus 4? They say 4.4 is optimized for 512mb phones but they don't update their own 1gb ram phone. Google logic.
[Nexus 4 General] Ümit:

In fact it's not even the same icon that was featured in the leaks. And IMO it's fine. :D

[Nexus 4 General] jadephyre:
Oh, that's good :)

So I guess my assumption was correct, so far Google only enables it on Qualcomm-powered devices (N4, N7 2013, N5).

Building it from source might a different story, who knows.

Radio looks to be the same from what I can tell from the ZIP, not sure about the Bootloader though

Finally, can we all please stop asking about the GEL already though? It is not included and will probably never officially get released for this device. All you need to do is install the APK file and its as easy as that. Going to flash the image now :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] G-Forces:
What I've noticed:

- Launcher is 100% identical to the 4.3 launcher. No transparant bars. GEL launcher APK works fine though.

- Hangouts by default in the dock, the statusbar contains a request to enable SMS in Hangouts. Default Messaging app is still installed.

- NO transparent bars on the lock screen, Nexus 5 does have this.

The transparent bar is up to the app and in this case is the Launcher. You need to find the Google Experience Launcher apk and install that (it's on Android Police so look there)

Okay, after flashing the full factory image, I can't copy my previously saved files to my phone anymore, even something as small as a friggin' wallpaper (500kb) comes to a grinding halt. No idea what the hell is wrong, but this problem is new, it worked flawlessly while I was using CM 10.2.

I can't seem to find a solution to this problem and if there is none, then I might as well just flash back to CM, this is unacceptable.
