Not sure what all the acronyms mean,
but it sounds like I am just going to stick with my factory specs LG G2.

What is this Simple Launcher? I don't see it in the Play Store.
My stock weather widget is in full color on 24A... Weird, sure its not just cloudy there? That is very monochrome in appearance.Only just took the plunge,unrooted unbranded,so far seems a lot smoother,time will tell.
One thing though dont know what the fashion for black and white is all about ,battery looked better as green ,and the stock weather widget is monochrome also seems a step back
I would have to disagree with you on almost every point you made here... As a long time Android user (since Eclair, maybe earlier, hard to remember), I find 4.4.2 of Android to be one of the most stable and usable versions of Android yet, most of the issues are app specific (like the Skype issue you mentioned, which is an APP issue, not a Android issue) and not truly an OS issue. And BTW, I use Skype on a few different KitKat 4.4.2 devices and have never seen this issue. To be honest, JellyBean was one of the more bug-ridden Android versions I have used across multiple devices, although the implementation of it in the G2 is excellent, the KitKat implementation is just as good in my opinion and cleared up the handful of issues I had on JB, such as garbled audio on BT headset (Plantronics Voyager Legend).My VZW G2 updated to 4.4.2 this morning. I wasn't given a choice to stay on Jelly Bean, or I would have. The most I could do was to delay the update by a few hours.
4.4.2 has a relatively poor reputation, as being one of Google's infamous beta-quality releases. There are a lot of bugs in 4.4.2, and Google has released 4.4.3 to fix many of those bugs. I'd sure like to see a 4.4.3 update for my VZW G2, but I'm not holding my breath. In the meantime, I'm sure not installing Skype, which can trigger one of the nastiest of the bugs in 4.4.2: rapid battery drain from the camera module.
ukzen, the thing with white is that KitKat generally has gotten rid of backgrounds for its icons and such. The white symbols and text are thought to be more generally readable on most backgrounds.
