For anyone else wondering about the changes in 4.4.3, in the mixer_paths.xml

<path name="speaker-mic-aec">
<path name="adc3" />
<ctl name="ADC3 Volume" value="14" />
<ctl name="DEC4 Volume" value="88" />
</path>

has been added and the new values for voice-headset-mic are

<path name="voice-headset-mic">
<path name="adc2" />
<ctl name="ADC2 Volume" value="15" />
<ctl name="DEC5 Volume" value="91" />
</path>

The old values were

<path name="voice-headset-mic">
<path name="adc2" />
<ctl name="ADC2 Volume" value="17" />
<ctl name="DEC5 Volume" value="96" />

Can't say my mic has improved but it may have for others...

i use my kernel tweaker and it said that my minimum freq is on 1.2 Ghz. and the battery life has improve from 4.4.2
[Nexus 5 General] Akr706:
It just says it, which used to happen even in 4.4.2. As i said, use light apps like "CpuTemp" which shows current frequency and you will be able to notice the drop to 300 mhz.

[Nexus 5 General] Gekko2:
Google Engineer Dan Morrill Sheds Some Light On The Nexus OTA Process, Urges You To Never Clear Google Service Framework Data

"Doing this changes the primary ID by which Google knows your device. As far as the servers are concerned, the device was basically factory reset. There are many downstream effects of this, but a big one is that this invalidates the tokens used by any app that uses GCM (which is nearly all the Google apps, and a ton of third-party apps.)

How apps react to GCM IDs changing varies by app. With Play Store you have to log out and log back in, I think Gmail usually handles it transparently eventually but won't get new mail notifications for a while, etc. Some apps you may have to clear data on to recover. All apps will simply stop getting GCM push-messages, until they get a new GCM ID; some do this frequently, others rarely, and some apps use the GCM ID as an ID on their own servers (as it is opaque and basically random), so other things besides push messages may not work.

Nothing bursts into flames, but it makes a ton of nuisances on the device, including some that can look pretty mysterious. Your mileage will vary depending on what apps you use.

All of this can be avoided by just doing an 'adb sideload' if you are impatient."

Xposed yes-can't speak for Franco. Elemental 38 works fine.
[Nexus 5 General] nitr00:
You are correct, this fixed it for me (without loosing userdata/apps/etc):

update to 4.4.3 =>

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-hammerhead-hhz11k.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-hammerhead-m8974a-2.0.50.1.13.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img

[optional] apply/restore root =>

(this next step will wipe data, only needed if not oem unlocked yet)
fastboot oem unlock

fastboot boot CF-Auto-Root-hammerhead-hammerhead-nexus5.img

After the CF-Auto-Root reboot I hold volume-down => recovery-menu => and manually wipe cache

Enjoy
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
I have the same problem and the only reason why I use Nova Launcher. I haven't tried 4.4.3 yet, but afaik this problem is related to Google Launcher or Google search app. Just reset your phone to 4.4.2 with factory image , and try the home button lag, it's not there. But if you install the updates of Google search app and google launcher, the lag comes.

[Nexus 5 General] andQlimax:
It could be normal if you opened the camera...

What you have to check is : don't open the camera anymore and see if the battery usage of the daemon increase without reason.. That was the bug before (which I never had, the daemon does not consume battery in background for me)

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
OTA updates can cause random derps. That's why it's recommended that you factory reset the device after installing the OTA zip. But this isn't true for all.
[Nexus 5 General] jackpollard:
I'm rooted, unlocked, stock rom, custom recovery and xposed. I flashed the 4.4.3 last night and all went fine. I don't know if its me never noticing, but I swear the system fonts look larger and the icons also look larger. I used gravitybox to add another row and gel to shrink up the text on the icons a bit, but I swear the system text, like messages, etc. look larger then I remember. I also changed the droid setting font size to small. Anyone else have this issue?
[Nexus 5 General] GiantSlayer:
ART Runtime?

I cannot seem to enable ART Runtime on 4.4.3....Do I need to uninstall Xposed first?
[Nexus 5 General] abfchasd:
Some bugs are still not fixed.

When clicking back opens some random app from the memory is still present.

This is so frustrating. After waiting about 6 months for this update, it sill hasn't brought us the necessary fixes.
[Nexus 5 General] Akr706:
Yes.
[Nexus 5 General] KingBeike:
Yes...xposed has a protection to avoid bootloop, so it always resets the runtime to dalvik when you try to switch to Art... Thanks to the dev of xposed for that :)
[Nexus 5 General] abfchasd:
YES
[Nexus 5 General] rydako:
Yes - Xposed wont work with ART, and causes an infinite boot loop if it's enabled with ART. Unless you Uninstall xposed, xposed will reset your runtime back to dalvik to avoid this infinite bootloop.
[Nexus 5 General] PetritH:
Yes, xposed is not compatible with ART
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Clicking back means going back to the previous application which is stored in the memory. If you want to go to the homescreen, press the home key (Middle).

Besides that, this derp happens once every few days so it's quite tolerable (at least for me).

Ya. I know what the back key does. If I launch from launcher, after pressing the back key it should go to the launcher. But instead it opens and closes some random app
[Nexus 5 General] ts1506:
Flashed around 7-8 hours ago.

Observations

1. New dialer

2. Camera focuses faster

3. Video no longer dark

4. Switching between apps seem slightly faster

Also, maybe cause I use Light Flow. I didn't see the LED issue

I dirty flashed from 4.4.2 modded using vomer's zip

MX Player has a nasty little habit of hardcoding compatible versions in their app. Give them a few days and I'm sure they'll update the app. This happened on the last few updates as well and is a pain...

[Nexus 5 General] gsmyth:
Have this exact same issue on my Nexus 7 Wifi 2012, which maybe isn't so big but pretty annoying. So looks like it wont be fixed for it either..

I thought for a while it was because I was using Nova Launcher but this proves its OS related.

[Nexus 5 General] Sensamic:
IMPORTANT!!!

Does 4.4.3 fix the annoying video recording audio bug???
[Nexus 5 General] fusion123:
As per the feedback by few users on earlier pages in this thread, the hissing sound in video recording is still there. With regards to the dark video in low light, there is contrasting opinion. Some say it's still the same while 1-2 feel it's been improved.

Hey, that's actually useful for some. For example, I'm using whatsapp and want to copying something from Keep app, I open keep, copy the stuff, press the back button and m at whatsapp, without the need to use the recent button. That is not a bug dude.

[Nexus 5 General] Sensamic:
Oh, that's too bad.

If they haven't fixed it by now I doubt they ever will. It shouldn't take this long to fix it.

I guess it's a hardware issue after all: poor microphones.
[Nexus 5 General] hotpotatos:
Worked with Stock ROM rooted + Franco Kernel + Xposed + TWRP Recovery

I did like this, everything seems to work (led notification also). I had Xposed so I uninstalled the framework before the flashing and reinstalled it after and it works!

I didn't had to reinstall SuperSU (Step 11)! :)

EDIT : The screen-off animation has gone, it simply goes black and not like an "old TV" anymore. Anyone else?

EDIT 2 : I rebooted and CRT animation came back. :)

I've been on PA for a very long time, but let me say this: this rom flies! So smooth, great lte, it's fast, new dialer. Great!
[Nexus 5 General] abfchasd:
Ya. What I am saying the bug is, is that when you open some app from launcher and then you press the back button instead of going to the launcher, it opens and closes some random app from the memory
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
can you make a screen record of it if possible?
[Nexus 5 General] XNeo2001:
That is probably a bug whatever app you opened from the launcher; it doesn't properly manage its back stack.

This was my exact method too and i have xposed/gravitybox installed and notifications only work with LED Manager app installed though...
[Nexus 5 General] zacharyb5386:
I just want to know if anyone has gotten a boost in signal reception. After I sideloaded 4.4.3 last night, I was mostly checking for data drops, which I did have a few, but I blamed that on being in my house. I was getting mostly a 3G connection. But the speeds seemed a little faster to me. This morning, I could barely browse on my wifi, so I decided to reboot my phone. After reboot, I have been getting 2 bars to full LTE signal everywhere in my house. And holy sh*t it feels as though I am on WiFi. I am with Sprint, and this makes me so happy. :victory:

Has anyone else gotten same results, especially those with Sprint?
[Nexus 5 General] tullnd:
You likely are benefitting from Spark. Look it up. Google likely enabled band 41 of LTE on the device.

Theoretically, this was for a speed increase. However, it's entirely possible that previously, you didn't get good connectivity to the existing LTE bands Sprint was using in your area, but maybe on band 41, you are able to get a stronger signal, so perhaps that's why you are seeing LTE connectivity indoors now. While it wasn't really designed to improve coverage, that can be a side effect for situations where the previous frequencies just didn't penetrate as well as the frequency used in band 41.
[Nexus 5 General] alex_herrero:
I'm getting the nasty error while flashing system on a Mac (already tried with other USB port):

Any suggestions besides factory reset? I prefer keeping my data intact.
[Nexus 5 General] yodeiu:
How do you flash the recovery image without losing my media, like music and such, I flashed everything besides userdata.img, but nothing is working, I get force closes for Google Play Store, Gallery, Camera and other apps and it also says my internal storage is empty, I thought flashing userdata.img erased your media files.
[Nexus 5 General] flex360:
can any one share how to check if im on baseband 41?
[Nexus 5 General] Akr706:
Updated

For those, who want to know noticeable changes.

Pros/Cons for updating to 4.4.3

Pros:

* New Dialer Interface.

* Noticeable Camera Improvements (Faster focus).

* WiFi drop issue seems to be sorted out.

* Some users getting better LTE network strength.

* Smoother than earlier, faster app switching.

* Some users noticed little bit of improvements in battery life.

Cons:

* LED Notifications not working for missed calls and messages by default (works if you use apps like "Light Flow").

* Data Drops still there (as reported by a user).

* Some users saying "mm-qcamera-daemon" issue is still there and consuming battery.

Will update if i find any other.
[Nexus 5 General] david279:
Engineering screen or the app signal check.
[Nexus 5 General] dbolot1:
All data and apps remain intact...I have TWRP as well, nothing different needed.
[Nexus 5 General] deakelem:
open dialer #*#*33284*#*# an then select lte engineering, youll see band
[Nexus 5 General] gcng:
My 2 cents;

I'm on T-Mobile and i have also experience better signal in places where it was formerly lacking.

Phone feels snappier and battery thus far, is draining at a decent rate of 2% per hour with moderate use.

Cf Autoroot did its job. I only use GravityBox module on xposed to tweak a couple of things (gravitybox was updated almost instantly to work with 4.4.3).

Franco posted that as soon as sources are up for kernel he'll update.
[Nexus 5 General] david279:
The new radio also enabled band 26 on Sprint.
[Nexus 5 General] deakelem:
ive been using radio .15 on sprint using bands 26 and 41 for a while now but i can say that this radio finally switches between the two a bit better. I used to have to airplane mode it while i knew i was near a 41 tower but now i dont. The modem isnt perfect but is much better than the .23 3g to lte hand off is still a bit dimwitted but again better than the .23 modem.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Anyone know what libs were changed for the camera improvements? Want to see if they would work on a 4.4.2 ROM :/
[Nexus 5 General] Oscarandco:
Question: If i upgrade in 4.4.3 can i donwgrade after in 4.4.2 ?
[Nexus 5 General] NaterTots:
The camera app is on the play store and was being updated the past few weeks. So I'd say yes.
[Nexus 5 General] dbolot1:
Were you able to flash boot and radio? Do you have system.img in your and/fastboot folder?
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
I don't have any issues with LED light, it's blinking as it should on notifications. Though i don't use any apps for LED color customizations.

I also don't have the qcamera-daemon bug, i took a lot of shots since the update, i guess it should've appeared by now.

Any judgement on battery life at this point is unrealistic.

Wifi drops seem to be fixed. As for reception signal, looking at the bars, there is no change, but i'll do some more precise tests (numerical) later. My phone used to lose signal frequently on 4.4.2, so that's something i'll be keeping an eye on for sure.
[Nexus 5 General] gtg465x:
I'm not convinced the mm-qcamera-daemon bug isn't fixed. I've only seen two people report that it's not and I'm not sure they fully understand what the issue was. It's normal for mm-qcamera-daemon to show up in battery stats if you've been using the camera. What is not normal is if it keeps using more and more battery even after closing and not using any more camera apps.
[Nexus 5 General] KPunks:
No LED Notification issues here, everything displays just as normal for me. mm-qcamera-daemon should show up, especially if you are using the camera a lot. Data drop outs no issues here at home, however I haven't tested this yet when traveling where I would have this issue more often.
[Nexus 5 General] thesebastian:
- I don't know if its already posted. But another good thing i saw is that in "immersive mode" you can change the volume level without disabling the Immersive mode.

- regarding the Notification LED I don't see changes comparing to 4.4.2.

->Missed GSM calls just like in 4.4.2 not showing the light.

-> SMS (using Hangouts) are showing the light.

I guess I'm the only one that still uses Bluetooth lol.

Bluetooth seems to be performing much better. I use my car's built-in Blu-Logic in my Camry and I'm not getting the occasional audio stutter on calls anymore.

Also, Bluetooth seems to be going inactive when it should. Before, the Bluetooth icon would stay active (white instead of grey) hours after leaving my car. This tended to be only a problem when I'd leave an area where I'd be using two different Bluetooth devices simultaneously, for example using the Blu Logic in my car for phone audio and a Kinivo BTC450 for media audio.

[Nexus 5 General] [XIX]Secutor:
Nope, it's working good for me (it seems way faster than before, actually)
[Nexus 5 General] dbolot1:
Not sure if you have some sort of mac thing, but try this method:
[Nexus 5 General] pinoymutt:
Workaround is to use a third party LED management app - e.g. Light Flow, Light Manager, or GravityBox (paid).
[Nexus 5 General] Akr706:
Will move it to Pros later. And many users have posted here that the battery consumption is less for them now.

Well both of these can be confirmed after using 4.4.3 for a day or two.

[Nexus 5 General] pikachukaki:
For those you will not want theirs sdcard to be wiped use this guide

NOTE: Bootloader should be unlocked for this method to work. Root not required.

1) Download the factory image relevant to your Nexus from the below page.
2) Unzip the .tgz file and keep it under, say C:/
3) Edit the "flash-all.bat" and remove the "-w" parameter from "fastboot -w update image-takju-jwr66v.zip"
4) Delete "userdata.img" from "image-******-*******.zip".
5) Copy fastboot.exe file into the “******-*******” directory.
6) Reboot and keep the phone in fastboot mode. [ a) Turn on USB Debugging b) Turn off your Phone c) Hold down Volume UP + Volume Down + Power buttons ]
7) Issue the command "flash-all.bat".
8) Wait for the process to finish, and then the Galaxy Nexus will reboot upgraded with stock Android 4.4.x
9) Cheers and enjoy !!!
