android-4.4-kitkat


With Nexus 5 and Android 4.4 KitKat right around the corner, we are dying for the release of them both to enhance the Android experience.


There has been a crazy amount of Nexus 5 leaks, and we have a good idea of the amazing phone we are getting. With the Nexus 5 we get some monster specs at a great price, and most Nexus fans are just drooling at the thought of it. We also have had a gigantic amount of ridiculous and some pretty spot on (from what we think we know) predictions of Android 4.4 KitKat update.


I've heard everything from a dedicated Google now home screen page, a stock launcher on the Google Play Store, removal of gallery, removal of SMS and sure fire things like more layered payment support and printer support also. As you can see in the leak Google Play render we can already see small changes in stock Android, and things that look to become available in the "Google Experience" launcher.


Camera and Phone icons are different, a different app drawer icon, the space surrounding the onscreen soft keys are now transparent, folders color change, and white status icons on top.


This is just some quick hand notes, and I am sure there are more leaks and big ideas I have missed.
