Android 4.4.3 AOSP sources already. First move updates – Antyweb

When the whole world admires (or the contrary) novelties presented at yesterday’s WWDC by Apple in the repository AOSP Android 4.4.3 appeared. Move also begun updates – mainly the Nexus line of devices. What to expect from the new version?

Android 4.4.3 rather it was not billed as systemic revolution, and so it is difficult to expect any major changes in the system. Google focused instead on bug fixes, improvements and details, which could frustrate the previous releases. Great emphasis is also given to improve the performance of the Nexus series devices. As you might imagine it is those holders will be able to enjoy the new version of the first. On the other hand, it is expected that major manufacturers will attack this update and quickly deliver it to their users.

New Android already visited the AOSP repository, which means that it will soon become part of popular modification: CyanogenMod or paranoid . At the same time appeared binaries and images for Nexusów 4, 5, 7, and 10 general, so everyone interested can update it manually and enjoy your new system without the need to wait for the OTA.

Neither the official list of changes in this release is not published. It is known that slightly changed here dialer application, which changed the color of individual elements. Here you can see a trend that was chosen during client update Google+. Therefore erected on the very bright colors and stressed them blue beams at the bottom and top of the screen.

There were earlier speculations that version 4.4.3 will be a big blow to the environment modders. Google is no intention to block the writing on the system partition, which will improve the security of the whole platform. Consequently, even applications with root privileges will not be able to modify the shell interface and modify the data gathered here. It would be a small tragedy for the entire XDA forum. For now, we are therefore safe, but probably this bliss will not last too long …

What improved? Great emphasis was placed on communication modules, so WiFi and Bluetooth. Mild improvements were also USB debugging function and the mechanism of energy management. The good news is also fixes the camera driver, what exactly will mainly affect the holders Nexusów. Also eliminated some errors with: Manager MMS, Email Client / Exchange, Calendar, Contacts / Dialer, DSP, IPv6 and VPN. Most probably not see with the naked eye. The system should, however, work at least minimally stable and reliable.

Unfortunately the update is difficult to conclude what we see during the upcoming event Google I / O. Rather, it will not the next version of Android.
