you should be fine with the latest radio.

if yiu have the latest twrp that's good or you could just do the adb method or sideload it. depends on what you like. and yeah xposed and gravitybox is compatible with 4.4/4.4.1. good as aily driver aside from some apps not yet compatible with kitkat

Oh and no battery improvements for playing music like the nexus 5 http://developer.android.com/about/versions/kitkat.html#44-screen-recording
[Nexus 4 General] raze599:
It seems the "OK Google" voice command is only available on the Nexus 5, Google say its due to hardware constraints. I can see how this is the case because the Snapdragon 800 processor in the N5 has that extra low energy core used for this "always listening" functionality and the nexus 4 does not, therefore there will be a hit on battery life if they ported the feature as is to the nexus 4.

However, would it be possible for somebody to design a ROM where this feature can be turned on and off by the user? Rather like using the app Open Mic+. That way there wouldn't be complaints about battery life.

Someone must have to have gotten the OTA link, but I just flashed the .zip
[Nexus 4 General] olyloh6696:
Is it still possible to get the OTA update whilst being on ART? (Everything else stock)
[Nexus 4 General] RealiZms:
I was wondering the same. I just went back to dalvik to make sure. But still no ota. DC metro area.:p
[Nexus 4 General] RealSlimShadyMC:
Your runtime won't matter.
[Nexus 4 General] Ibrahim.Rahman:
You will get the OTA when it is pushed to your device. Google sends them randomly regardless of location or whether you are on dalvik or art.

[Nexus 4 General] raghav29:
Happens with me too. Maybe a bug with kit Kat
[Nexus 4 General] Ibrahim.Rahman:
I said they MIGHT create problems. Thing is, if you get stuck, you would have no idea what happened and what to do. While flashing manually at least you would know what the problem is and you could share it on xda. For this reason you will find that almost every guide on xda discourages the use of toolkits.
[Nexus 4 General] killman2659:
And to add on to this, if you are into flashing things, wouldn't you want to know what you are doing? With a toolkit you don't really know what is going on, all you do is click a button. I personally would rather learn the process instead of relying on a toolkit.
[Nexus 4 General] Ibrahim.Rahman:
Exactly!
[Nexus 4 General] RealSlimShadyMC:
When I said I used the toolkit, I used the toolkit to launch ADB. I still entered the commands.
[Nexus 4 General] sid.8491:
update 4.4.1 solved the dialer issue. :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
I agree. For example this new "foolproof" CyanogenMod installer is evil. It allows all sorts of newbies to try it without knowing what they're doing. I've seen all sorts of people complaining their phone is now bootlooping and whatnot after trying to install CM. Or they don't like it and want to return to stock, but have no idea how to do it, because there is no universal 1-click installer for it. This is the reason why I do most of the things old school, to learn and to be able to analyze step by step if something goes haywire.

To sum it up, 1-click Installers= Eventual doom

The problem is that when i try to switch to ART the phone just reboot and then the multirom screen appear for 5 sec and then i'm back to system using dalvik...

This happens each time i try to switch to ART it just simply reboots to dalvik without switching.. Is it because of Multirom? Any solution?

Are you guys manually installing or is this OTA wifi your getting. I have not got my 4.4.1 in my phone's update. Has it happened for Nexus 4 yet?
[Nexus 4 General] RealiZms:
I'm pretty sure most of us have side loaded the OTA using ADB. After an update is announced I'll wait for a day tops. After that I can't stand waiting anymore. Usually I get it first. But this time was my first time using ADB to side load it. Worked great! Getting the button press sequence can take a few tries but no worries works great

[Nexus 4 General] Green-Bot:

i switched to ART...Device getting lil bit hot is normal but as you are saying itys getting too hot, its not normal. Check by brwosing settings=>apps=>running services Try to see how much ram is utilized and which app/service is taking how much space etc.

Individual usage habits can also play a role.

Finally, try switching to ART after upgrading to 4.4.2 There might have been some improvements for ART. Hope your issue gets sorted out :) ...!!

Huh, that's interesting. After installing 4.4 over 4.3 yesterday (no factory reset), I ran

Real Racing 3

, and it automatically set up higher graphics quality, sharper textures (or just longer draw distance), higher level of shadows and reflections, probably other tweaks, incl. smaller sharper text. But now that I installed 4.4.2, graphics automatically restored to where it was on 4.3.

The game drops frames either way, so I'd prefer the better graphics. But how do I do so? Strange really...
