Any news about 4.4 ???

[jhawkkw]

Just forced it to update OTA using the services framework trick. Very much stripped down from the Nexus 5 version of KitKat.

Yeah, it seems that the reason why is because of hardware. The other Nexus devices could probably handle the load it would put on it, but didn't have the hardware necessary for the always listening "OK Google" part. Thus they left the whole thing out. It explains the different build numbers as well (KRT16O on N10 vs KRT16M on N5)

Certainly seems snappier, definitely whilst using Chrome anyway which I'm pleased to see

That's bullshit. I'm running that right now on my N10. Google Home. WOrks fine. Works well on teh Galaxy Victory, too

The OK Google does work? Hmm, interesting to say the least. It could be something else, but that was my hypothesis.

On both devices, no less. One running 4.1.2

If you have any system apps frozen, modified, or uninstalled it usually aborts the install

Thought I'd clarify my eariler post- you aren't BS- the people claiming (and I've seen a few) hardware incompatibilities are

Maybe this could cool the masses:

Even with the services trick I am not getting an OTA update. Guess I'll have to wait a bit.....

 

[tjreishus]

After trying the services thing all day yesterday with no luck, it finally worked today.

Still no love here...............

THe stock images and binaries are out. I expect to have Tempest 4.4 working by the end of the weekend.

 

[tanware]

I would have liked to try the stock image first but this loss of features on Google's supposedly top end device has me a bit ticked............

 

[dibblebill]

Well, I can tell you after my experience with trying to integrate the launcher into the ROM, I will try the Google Experience Launcher on Tempest, but no guarantees it won't wipe your home screen every time I make a new build.

I hope to have my 4.4 ROM booting by the end of the weekend.

Still no love on the OTA here. I still would like to see what the OTA has to offer before I do a ROM.

Here.

Nexus 10 Owners, Your KitKat Update Is Ready - Download And Install Android 4.4 Now (KRT16O)

They have download links.

 

[tanware]

thanks, have the file but I'm getting lazy...........

 

[tanware]

New day here so new post, forgive me as an android newbie but in android if you side load you are just updating rather than a recovery that deletes all data?

 

[dibblebill]

I'm unsure myself, to be honest

 

[tanware]

I am fairly confident about Windows and can maneuver Linux with little issue but since Android is a shell of Linux it can have its own nomenclature. I try to read between the lines of others posting with way more experience here than me but I am not sure if it is just me getting old or what but it seems to get more confusing daily............
