Had a similar problem. Solution for me was to transfer folders and files not in one big bulk, but one by one. You might also want to try reconnecting your phone, if you haven't done so already.

But I must say, it's been a long time since stock and I'd already forgotten what an ugly bastard it was :D Overweight icons everywhere! But in some way it actually looks gorgeous. I used to keep my icons and text so small, having everything bigger is a welcome change.

Flash latest SuperSU. Done.
[Nexus 4 General] oliverredfox:
Installed KitKat this afternoon and started getting complaints from friends that I was sending duped/delayed text messages via Google Voice app. Was about to roll back to 4.3 when I finally found a support thread that multiple people are having issues with this (including messages sent via the web interface). So if anyone notices a GV issue, it's just a coincidence that it happened at the same time we got our new images.
[Nexus 4 General] defffizz:
So, what about the lockscreen transparency? Can't be achieved?

Nexus 4, stock 4.4
[Nexus 4 General] Zehlek:
Anyone receive ota yet?

It will most likely be a day or 2 before those start being pushed.

Well, after a lot of mucking around with the damn thing, it suddenly transferred all my files without a hitch... no idea what I did that made it work, I just hope I don't have to do it again :laugh:

Has anybody managed to grab a screen recording? I don't remember if it was exclusive to N5 or not. When I try to "adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/example.mp4" it tells me

ERROR: unable to create video/avc codec instance
[Nexus 4 General] opssemnik:
is just me, or 4.4 seems more laggy then 4.3? im getting some little lags mostly in recentes apps, app drawer,maps and chrome, didnt tried with art enabled yet.
[Nexus 4 General] wahid536:
I would have to agree with you on that as well. 4.4 Roms seems way more laggy then the 4.3 Roms probably because some 4.4 Roms are ports
[Nexus 4 General] prog19:
Guys, when applications are running full screen if we swype from top screen a semi transparent bar appears. We always have that? I like it!
[Nexus 4 General] opssemnik:
^i felt that on custom too, but im experiencing that now on oficial firmware (im saying this, because i saw lot of people saying that the lag was due to binaries, but now even stock does these littles lags O_O).
[Nexus 4 General] zelendel:
Your not restoring any system data are you? Could be anything you restore could cause issues

[Nexus 4 General] opssemnik:
nope i was trying to modify the .tot of LGOG to make it work n4, when i saw the thread on xda i redone all partitions of n4, flashed back stock.i will try with custom kernel.
[Nexus 4 General] gmouraf:
Anyway to get n5 lockscreen on N4?

Or a n5 launcher with small icons and a 5x5 transparent appdrawer?

a big thanks =)

[Nexus 4 General] islandboy_2000:
Google are really that lazy that they included the same crappy stock wallpapers from JB lol. Smh
[Nexus 4 General] Vazduh:
Yep. I must admit that after years of experiencing with android this is actually the first time when I can say that my nexus 4 is ios like smooth and silky overall. Quite impressed. Hats off Google for another great release.

Stock, unrooted, ART enabled.
[Nexus 4 General] zelendel:
Think that's bad. There are hundreds of unused images left over in the frameworks that have not been used since GB

Quora won't work if you switch to ART from DALVIK

Also,the touch control is'n working on any kernels,expecting the latest to come out and fix the android 4.4 problem.
[Nexus 4 General] jadephyre:
I just sent an email to the support adress for Whatsapp, asking if they will update their program to work with ART soon, will report back with what ever they throw my way :)
[Nexus 4 General] zelendel:
This has already been answered. Until art is out of beta they will not support it.

Wayne Tech Nexus
[Nexus 4 General] jadephyre:
Alright, I had no idea about that, and I was not going to bother using the search function because it's bloody hard to find anything on this forum due to its sheer size o_O
[Nexus 4 General] Zeebz:
Loving it so far. Only issue I have is how they tweaked setting a Gallery image as the Wallpaper. All it is is the image and the top says "Set wallpaper" but there is no cropping bars or anything to get an idea of how it'll look on the phone like there was on 4.3. So that is kind of annoying, other than that it's great. The new Hangouts SMS is pretty awesome, too.
[Nexus 4 General] monkeypaws:
Art is experimental and that's it. Mod Edit: That's all that needs to be said.
[Nexus 4 General] ayusharad:
can anyone confirm if the transparent navigation and status bar is by default enabled in the nexus 4 factory image, i'm not bothered about the GEL anyway??:confused::silly:
[Nexus 4 General] puncha1580:
Yes, ART is experimental, but how is that;s IT!!! We got a nexus, and that supposed to be a developer phone, right??? So, if we guys don't EXPERIMENT, and report bugs!!! Who will...

As far as app support on the same goes, app developers like whatsapp and TiBu have a choice of not updating coz' of ART....

But that does not mean reporting stops!!!!

Seriously, people are a lot SMARTER these days!!!

---------- Post added at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

You can use Nova beta to enable the same!!!
[Nexus 4 General] ayusharad:

[Nexus 4 General] monkeypaws:
My point wasn't to bash ppl using it. Its those that have no clue that art is experimental. They want it to work and have no idea why it doesn't work , specially with whatsapp. Common. Out of all the useful apps, whatsap?
[Nexus 4 General] Sturdy_99:
Sad.

:crying: navigation bar and status bar are not transparent on factory images of nexus 4....Why is google doing this.?..its transparent for nexus 5..
[Nexus 4 General] sachindpai1:
My data connection is really really slow after flashing KitKat update.....but I noticed a good performance from my WiFi

---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 PM ----------

Use GEL launcher
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
They've always done that. Sounds too.
[Nexus 4 General] sss_ddk:
What i don't like so far

-App permissions no longer works. App Ops activity is no longer there. A step back if you want my opinion.

-No more status bar indicator (blue color previously) if we are/aren't connected to google services (mainly hangouts).This used to be very helpful.

-No more arrows inside of the data/wifi connexion status icon. So you can' really tell if something is actually transmitting/receiving unless you go to quicksettings (google says it's working as intended!)
[Nexus 4 General] sachindpai1:
Anyone experiencing slow data speeds
[Nexus 4 General] pitchdarkice:
for those that tried to do the manual method using the factory images and got stuck with the animated balls looping. i tried to go back to 4.3 but i got stuck on the google logo.

in a last whim, i re-installed the twrp recovery and tried to do a backup of my data folder in case folks may find a resolution later. anyways in my attempts to try and do a backup i noticed that twrp had issues trying to mount the cache folder. so i used twrp to format a cache folder and viola, it works now.

i recall erasing the cache folder like i normally do on my gnex. so that was the problem for me.
[Nexus 4 General] RealSlimShadyMC:
Yeah actually
[Nexus 4 General] badboy47:
lol i find this hilarious. i dont think it affects the overall experience.
[Nexus 4 General] Goku80:
it is fine i manually updated the launcher with google search and everything is fine now..got the transparent navbar and statusbar and everything is the way it should be..

quick question though...does anyone use Action Launcher and is it going to be similar to the Google Launcher
[Nexus 4 General] Mercado_Negro:
Not here, same speed as usual in my case.
[Nexus 4 General] snak3ater:
Re Locking & unlocking of bootloader solved this issue for me..
[Nexus 4 General] pitchdarkice:
doesn't locking and unlocking cause the data partition and everything else to be wiped?
[Nexus 4 General] Goku80:
no
[Nexus 4 General] meangreenie:
You sure? Because it always use to.
[Nexus 4 General] olipheus:
Is there any way to enable GEL in the factory image, or am I forced to a third party homescreen app to use it?
[Nexus 4 General] Goku80:
locking and unlocking should not wipe anything...now if you are flashing something to your device that is different...

fastboot OEM lock

and then fastboot unlock or something like that

that is what you doing you are not flashing anything

[Nexus 4 General] Vlad Paul:
Hi! What about battery life, increased or decreased? Screenshot please. Thank you!
[Nexus 4 General] will_chrome:
Just finish updating to 4.4. is it me failed updating or what. this KitKat is different from nexus 5. aside from there's no GEL. I also can't use Google now from homescreen. wallpapers still using 3.4. wrong code for radio.img (radio file name still 84 though when I flash it, it turns out 97).

I don't know what happen with Google. is it their market strategy (because if nexus 4 had the same kitkat as nexus 5, then people will tend to buy nexus 4 over nexus 5).

If this the final build for 4.4 then I just to accept it then. LoL
[Nexus 4 General] snak3ater:
Lol..I checked the settings to make sure if i flashed KK & not JB..Launcher is same as in JB..I had to manually install GEL..
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Now from the homescreen is part of GEL so no surprise there. Wallpapers are the same because they're what shipped with the device and Google don't change that (same with sounds), never have done... for instance the Nexus S got the cool Microbes LWP, the GB update for the Nexus One didn't bring it.
[Nexus 4 General] will_chrome:
well in my case, I surf the net to find screenshot of nexus 4 on KitKat, just to make sure LoL where can I find GEL apps? i browse in goole play but no luck. is it the same with that comes from nexus 5 or developer made it.?

I see, thanks for the info. hoopefully there will be an oficial GEL that we can download later on.
[Nexus 4 General] G-Forces:
Did anyone notice that after the Google Search update, the app drawer in GEL is 4 apps wide instead of 5 apps? Looks like they are optimising behind the scenes for other resolutions and a possible Play Store release?
[Nexus 4 General] snak3ater:
Install this Apk...

Launcher
[Nexus 4 General] hanifh:
the question is, how many of you after flashing, smugly sat there with a grin and said "Ok Google" ? :D:D:D
[Nexus 4 General] will_chrome:
thanks mate

well tell you the truth just once or twice. just to test it Rofl
[Nexus 4 General] snak3ater:
There was no such thing as 'say "ok Google" ' written in the search bar on top.so it was more than enough to understand that saying ok google won't do any good:p
[Nexus 4 General] moon-unit:
Hi All,

For the record I thought I'd just say that I love it, white icons in the notification bar are great - always disliked the blue, new dialler app is beautiful and so much smoother than the old one which sucked, I have no interest in GEL - personally I think it's worse that what we have, call quality seems to be so much better, boot animation rocks, most of that annoying blue is gone from the system and the clock app is much better without the bold highlights and logical layout.

I have no bugs that i've seen yet. game on - thanks Google.
[Nexus 4 General] Sturdy_99:
ya but that looks cool..
[Nexus 4 General] sebr:
Just moved to 4.4 KK by tweaking the flash-all.bat and removed userdata.img

So far everything runs smooth but I noticed a strong decrease in cell signal strength. Anyone else experienced this and knows a fix?
[Nexus 4 General] AlderCass:
+1

Also I can't wait til more apps start taking advantage of the new API to customise the status/notification bar colours
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
You must have dreamed up that API.

The options are black or translucent. Nothing about changing colours.
[Nexus 4 General] AlderCass:
Dang, yep I must have misinterpreted something I read. I remember it being compared to PA Colors, that must have given me the wrong idea. But yeah still can't wait til more apps make use of translucent then, sorry :p
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Actually I know what you were thinking of, it was a hoax leak on a Nexus 4 a while ago :)
[Nexus 4 General] AlderCass:
Aha yes it's coming back to me now that you mention it. Pity, it could have been really cool, but then again it could have been horribly misused by some app designers so translucent with gradient is definitely the best approach.
[Nexus 4 General] Furlong's Left Foot:
What launcher is everyone using with 4.4?

I'm stuck between Nova beta (with translucent bars and beautiful custom icons but no Google Now left swept) and GEL (with beautiful Google Now left swipe but with a complete lack of any form of home screen customisation).

I would dearly love a hybrid of both options!
[Nexus 4 General] AlderCass:
Same. Living with GEL at the moment, the only thing I miss from Nova is app tabs and the ability to hide apps since currently I have icons in my drawer for a bunch of background services (last.fm scrobbler and such) that I configure once and never open again, I really don't need their icons cluttering up my app drawer, so I'm hoping maybe custom ROMs will be able to mod the GEL with such features.
[Nexus 4 General] G-Forces:
What about DSP, is there any way to test if the chip is activated on Nexus 4?
[Nexus 4 General] God_:
is sad dont have transparency :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] Vlad Paul:
Nobody analized battery life on kitkat?
[Nexus 4 General] hanifh:
errm. perhaps because its been less than 24hrs since installation which doesnt give one any battery testing benchmark yet? :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] psythefirst:
Google search uses 30% of battery on average every day. Google Now is on. That's too much for me, because I used to delete google search when I flash a new ROM. Is this battery usage normal?
[Nexus 4 General] eckbauer:
One more time look here.:)

http://novalauncher.com/beta/
[Nexus 4 General] :
Am I correct is saying the the transparency is solely based on the launcher (ie Nova or GEL) and not 4.4?
[Nexus 4 General] AlderCass:
It's a 4.4 feature so far being utilised by GEL and Nova

You have to enable Google Now on the default launcher before you can use it on GEL. :good:

[Nexus 4 General] Zeebz:
Agreed. I was disappointed at first we weren't getting the GEL. I downloaded the GEL APK and installed it on 4.3 and used it for a bit and was not too fond of it, so in the end I'm glad we weren't forced to switch to the GEL. The old launcher is great as-is.

Ahh, yeah we switched roles it seems haha. My signal sucked on 4.3, it'd drop all the time from 4 bars to 0, and in my room it was horrible. On 4.4 it's been excellent.
