[Q] What's up with Kit Kat? KLP? - General Questions and Answers

Hello XDA,
I am still very confused about google's aleged new release of android 4.4, 5?
Earlier this year, I thought that common knowledge was google would release a huge update named Key Lime Pie, version 5.0. Now we know it's android Kit Kat (........), and according to some pics and videos, it is version 4.4? Why would google not make it 5.0? Are they planning something new for android 5? It looks like (according to these leaked pics) that they are going for a very new UI, which I think would constitute a new version of android.
Here are the pics I was referring to:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(see the 4.4 android version)
I don't know if those pics are fake, they very well could be.
Thanks for the help!

What do you mean by this?

i was also under the impression that it was to be version 5.0
not sure where 4.4 came from
could you provide a link of where u got these images?

im sure kit kat is just a preview of what's to come like jellybean 4.1 to 4.2 and 4.3, it gives the community a better way to develop more options..

I think we feed into the version numbers a little to much... I believe following the nicknames is a better indicator that something is going to be different about the next update, or at least a bigger change... When we get to 5.0, there might be a big UI change...

Does anyone know if Google plans to correct this?

Don't know, but I can confirm that I have experienced this issue...
All Android devices have this problem, the question is whether Google is working.

Sigh
The GNote is the Android device with worst latency issues in the system itself ive used at release. So to pick the GNote with the firsts builds against the iPhone 4 is one of the few ways to make the iPhone win.
The KAA and KL3 builds dont have this issue (not for me atleast) and are newer builds than what was shipped with the phone at the release.
Done the same thing with my GNote and recorded with the piano app. And i got faster response than the iPhone 4 using the KL3 software on the GNote.
android vs ios on windows mobile forum................ ok.......................
@Alejandrissimo
thank you, I reported the error.
@robertsydbrink
Hello, I do not believe in what you say, the latency problem is inherents in Android. I am also in KKA. How can you defend this? By doing so you encourage the immobility of Google. You can make a video of what you say ?
Go to stores to compare some Android tablets against the iPad 2. The latency is very marked.

[Concept] Android 5 - Jelly Bean w/ Chrome OS

Hey guys!
Just wanted to share some pictures of Android 5.0 (Jelly Bean) with you.
I found these @ androidadvices.com
Looks pretty similar to ICS but very good in my opinion
How about you?

Looks good,
I like the task manger located in status bar.
Sent from my GT-I9000 (ICS AOPK #25 - Semaphore 0.9.1) using xda premium
look similar to ICS, it seems have virtual keys instead of the real ones
Isn't that just a concept (by a user), as the picture says?
DO NOT post SPAM and MISLEAD us
Cant you see that this is a concept Jelly Bean which is written below, i can make a theme like it and announce that its a Jelly beam images. No offense to you man
lol yeah, sorry for this mistake. Just overread this. Sure it's a concept but it might look like this. Let's hope, 'cause this looks great
well they've said taht the new Android will have even more simplified interface and even better UX, so you can forget that the design stays the same
i'm afraid Android might fall in the unbalance of quality/quantity with so many fast succeeding releases. let's hope they know what they're doing
cheers,
Z.
I really like it, looking forward to it
Looks awesome, looking foward for it. If it would happen of course.
That looks pretty awful.
Sent from my SGH-I897
I want it to come out now
Hope they get it fast on S3

Similar if not same battery and WiFi icons, maybe Google previews their next version of Android in a earlier version Chrome OS!!
Probably not, but still I found it interesting. Didn't include the font on KitKat because I've changed it on mine.

That's interesting - neat observation. Icons are all kind of blending in on devices now and looking so similar, surprised you noticed a similarity.

10 points to Droid Life for this one. I didn't even notice this. But in the screenshots for Google Now which shows off how to stay updated with the 2014 FIFA World Cup – Google may have teased Android 5.0. I know what you’re thinking, everything looks exactly as it does now, and that’s true. But look at the time. It says 5:00. Now in the past, Google has used 4:00 for ICS, 4:10 for Android 4.1, 4:20 for Android 4.2, 4:30 for Android 4.3 and 4:40 for Android 4.4. So, 5:00 seems like it would be Android 5.0, right?
This wouldn't be the first time that Google has done something like this. They updated an app in the Play Store prior to the Android 4.2 release which had 4:20 as the time. So this could be Google getting us hyped up for the Google I/O developers conference in about two weeks, or it could just be Google trolling us, which has also happened before. With Google I/O in just a few weeks, it is possible for us to get a new version of Android, but I don’t think anyone is thinking Android 5.0, I think we are looking at Android 4.5, as the bigger releases usually come in the fall these days. Maybe it’s time we start getting our Android 5.0 wishlist together, or perhaps its too early?

I gues this will be another 4.4.4
I think so too. Lollipop has a long way to come. But even though, lollipop doesn't support Xposed also i read somewhere that memory leaks are present in it so in a way it's not fully stable. I hope it is just another 4.4.4

Yes, it's expected to be another KitKat, according to XperiaBlog: http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/02/03/minor-xperia-m2-dual-update-certified-18-3-1-b-1-8/
For me, the current version of KitKat is stable. Wonder what bugs they have selected to fix. I encounter only one problem and that's not working of navbar while any video is playing in fullscreen.
There are certified updates for D2303/6 as well, I suspect as much that D2305 has it too. Well, just wait.
Me using 4.4.4 KitKat is kinda slow in certain points, which is weird. But, hope this update fix some bugs D:
It is slow after some time
to now what changes in new kernel in this update just translate this post http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=577504&view=findpost&p=37796957
