feature of kitkat
Beautiful & Immersive
A more polished design, improved performance, and new features.
Just say “Ok Google”
You don’t need to touch the screen to get things done. When on your home screen* or in Google Now, just say “Ok Google” to launch voice search, send a text, get directions or even play a song.
A work of art
While listening to music on your device, or while projecting movies to Chromecast, you’ll see beautiful full-screen album and movie art when your device is locked. You can play, pause, or seek to a specific moment.
Immerse yourself
The book you're reading, the game you're playing, or the movie you're watching — now all of these take center stage with the new immersive mode, which automatically hides everything except what you really want to see. Just swipe the edge of the screen to bring back your status bar and navigation buttons.
Faster multitasking
Android 4.4 takes system performance to an all-time high by optimizing memory and improving your touchscreen so that it responds faster and more accurately than ever before. This means that you can listen to music while browsing the web, or race down the highway with the latest hit game, all without a hitch.
Smart & Simple
Google smarts improve every corner of the Android experience.
The future is calling
The new phone app automatically prioritizes your contacts based on the people you talk to the most. You can also search for nearby places and businesses, your contacts, or people in your Google Apps domain.
A smarter caller ID
Whenever you get a call from a phone number not in your contacts, your phone will look for matches from businesses with a local listing on Google Maps.
All your messages in the same place
Never miss a message, no matter how your friend sends it. With the new Hangouts app, all of your SMS and MMS messages are together in the same app, alongside your other conversations and video calls. And with the new Hangouts, you can even share your location and send animated GIFs.
Emoji everywhere
Sometimes words can’t express how you feel. For that, there’s Emoji, the colorful Japanese characters, now available on Google Keyboard.
Grab & Go
New features help you get things done while you’re on the move.
Print wherever, whenever
Now you can print photos, documents, and web pages from your phone or tablet. You can print to any printer connected to Google Cloud Print, to HP ePrint printers, and to other printers that have apps in the Google Play Store.
Pick a file, any file
From apps like Quickoffice, you can open and save files on Google Drive, other cloud storage services, or your device. And with quick access to recently used files, it's easier than ever to send the file you were just working on.
Your office, anywhere
Create and edit documents, spreadsheets and presentations from your phone or tablet with the newly redesigned Quickoffice
Don't think kit kat will come to Grand or any other phone than the premium flaship...
This is a commercial restriction and not hardware...unfortunately...

Are you sure? Because here in Brazil is the "L" variantion and I don't know the difference betwen i9082 or i9082L. Could be modem, or kernel. I look in the forum and I couldn't get answers if I can really do that"

Hello Guys....
I've have been here since the Grand thread was a single general thread, so I've done and tried it all:
Here are the options for 4.2.2 on the Grand "L"
1. You CAN flash the OFFICIAL 4.2.2 for the 9082 BUT....you will loose 3G connectivity, it will only work on EDGE.
2. You CAN the CM10.1 Build as in my thread it will run the 3G networks fine, BUT...you loose your second SIM slot.
That's it.
Regards,
Paul

Hey, does this work (stable) on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G version w/Rogers?
I currently have Jellybean (4.1.2?) and CM10.
Reported problems by me for my current setup:
-Home button does not work
-Browser wont load and will not launch
-Play store will not work (Error connecting) so i am not sure if my network is working
-Calender constantly crashes
-System UI constantly crashes
-Settings not available through the bottom right time slide up
-Many applications dont work
I am looking for something stable but apparantly, my current set up isnt working out. Any alternatives?

Guys, just don't forget to use the last recovery, version 6.0.2.3. Older versions will lead to problems. It is on the link that OP postes.
I did all the wipes and I have only one real problem here: the launcher animations are very laggy, honeycomb was better than that. Its strange because everything else is very, veeery smooth. It happens with nova and apex launcher too. Anyone else?
Oh, and I like the new interface.

Go into the trebuchet launcher settings and enable wallpaper hack. Lag will disappear. The lag is caused by the way the 4.2 launcher is rendering the wallpaper.

Yup..i've been testing for cm 10 & 10.1 last 2 days from stock ICS. Here what i like:
-cm10 dark theme
-OC enable up to 1.4 GHz
-terminal emulator built in
-no "less use" apps pre-install
-msg experience are great
-bottom left n right notification & task bar (maybe coz i used to in windw environmnt)
What i dont know:
-the user acc is the same as phone profile,right? Its not like as admin & user.
-Call cant be ended in both cm (or it can?... )
-changing homescreen default page number to 2 or 3 only
I dont like the upper bar (in 4.2 i think -cant rmmber- ) coz it makes the screen smaller than usual
Revert back ti stock ICS with A1 kernel for now and waiting/trying to help fixing call end button
Google now is working

A link to the post is alright I assume? http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=2919
I wish there was an "official" place to discuss this unofficial build.
Running it on p4wifi with the bootloader and recovery included in the folder with the rom. Wiped before flashing it and 121212 gapps.
Google Search closes (no notification) if you have updated to the latest from Google Play.
Voice typing force closes if you try to use it and you haven't updated to the latest Google Search from Google Play.
The post says 720p video has visual problems but it never starts to record for me. (I have the mentioned problem with CM10 nightlies.)
Google Talk crashes (no notification) after voice chat connects. (On CM10 it crashes as soon as you initiate it.)
The "3 quick key presses" description of the keyboard problem seems like an oversimplification.
Are the dual notification bars and centered home/switch buttons a 4.2 thing or is that related to a non-tablet build?
Is there a proper place to search for these problems and file them if they aren't listed? I don't mind doing some testing but I'm not sure what logs to provide. Is logcat good enough? What's the easiest way to pull that?

Well Google Now is incomplete without voice so that's the reason I asked if Google Now worked for you. I I too face the issue of no voice. Hope this will be fixed in future updates. Really love this ROM's look and feel.

I am using Jelly Bean 4.1.2 CM 10 | cm-10-20121218-NIGHTLY. Phone dialer app cannot end calls. E-mail app cannot add more than one account.
As for multi user on CM 10.1 (JB 4.2) I do believe it is because multi user originally intended to be used only for tablet (which means no calling). Multi user is not yet available on phone (least for the stock ones). Wait for some hack for it.
Anyone knows a thread where I can follow the nightly updates for CM10 development? I can't find the right 'portal' for it

How to uninstall google search updates??
I updated google search.when i opened ,it crashes after sometime.but voice command working[instead of clicking search bar i clicked mic icon]
Ok, so I got my 4.3 and Sense 5.5 update and, altough there a re a lot of improvements, I'm more pissed off because of some stuff they removed or... ahem... added...
- Why did they remove the lock screens? I know the lock screen widgets are accessible through a right to left swipe in the lock screen, but why remove them altogether? For example, I just want to be able to have a different wallpaper for my lock screen than my home screen...
- Why did they remove the old video highlights themes?I very much welcome the added new settings and permissions for the highlights... Honestly, they're a very big deal. But, for the love of God, why remove the old themes? My favorite (and judging from what I've seen on the internet - youtube, Facebook or HTC Share - "Islandia" is gone... Why?
- Why is the NFC logo pinned in the status bar? Why do I have to see that? I have NFC turned on all the time... :
These are the few things that got me upset about the new Sense 5.5 update. I know that the update has a lot of good new features (and I welcome them all)... But why remove other good features that have been on Sense since I can remember?
Are there other features that have been removed/altered in a bad way?
Please share...
And an UPDATE: I know that they've added a s*it load of new emoticons in the stock SMS app, BUT they made it so that the we cannot see the old ones.
For example, when someone sends me an SMS with an emoticon from HTC One X with Sense 5.0, I just see it as text and they cannot see the new emoticons that I send them... Great thinking HTC (_|_)
Yes. Why the he'll did they removed the medialink hd api?
No more movies on the tv and browsing on the phone at the same time. Really makes the hd medialink useless.
I wonder how long HTC will take to actually understand how things work.
They removed all weather animations in sense 5. And what they provided in that version is now removed in the latest version.
Are they confused?

Can't get my head around removing the old themes. I suppose now that there's custom music available you can use the old music easily enough I would imagine but you can't get the old visual effects back. I love Islandia.
Ridiculous decision, I only went to 4.2.2 and got the six new themes in July, three months and they've removed them?!

It's indeed annoying. I "fixed" this issues with changing NFC on and off via notification toggles or EQS. Thats not a perfect solution but it just takes 2 sec to de-/activate...

Custom music is cool but try to upload your video and have all these warning about copyrighted music etc.
The new themes aren't good or aren't there any themes anymore?
Also, did I read that now the duration of the clip is changeable or am I wrong?
The duration of the clip is variabile, but cannot exceed 30 seconds. Maybe on HTC One Max you can make videos longer than 30 seconds.

That's because the old emoticons were just three-character strings that the messaging app interpreted as a smiley. For example (-: turned into . This caused tons of problems if you were trying to send a more technical text message with tons of parentheses and colons. Now, in Sense 5.5, the emoticons are standard Unicode emoji glyphs that are supposed to be universally compatible with every phone supporting the updated unicode standard. For example, in Android 4.3 (and probably 4.2.2) emojis are partially-implemented. The latest iPhones have a full implementation, as does Google Hangouts (one of the reasons to be excited about Hangouts SMS integration IMO), and now Sense 5.5 has a full implementation of emojis.
The reason your old phone cannot see your new emoticons is because it's either not running a recent enough version of Android or HTC's software on the One X simply does not render the emojis right. Some messaging apps also can strip excess unicode information -- older phones are notorious for this. A simple fix would be to use an alternative SMS/MMS app on the One X, one that fully supports emoji input such as Sliding Messaging Pro, or Textra (don't know if Textra supports ALL of the emoji glyphs, but it has some functionality).
One more note, CM10.x's MMS app also has support for this built-in, so it isn't just some fad that little girls and iPhone users are aware of, it is legitimately an evolving communication standard.

Oh yes, I want to disable the lock screen appearing everytime I turn off the screen, so annoying
The removal of old video themes may be a deal breaker for me. I love some of them absolutely.

Islandia was one of the only reasons i bought this phone... **** !
please tell me if you find a way to either downgrade or restore the themes
Also really miss the the ability to disable lockscreens natively. This https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock&hl=en is somewhat of a workaround for those of you in the same boat, doesn't always work perfectly but I haven't found a better solution yet.

Yep, will have to wait for ViperOne team to do their magic. I'm sure they'll have an option to disable the lockscreen whilst retaining pin lock

You are right, I was choosing a song that had 26 seconds in my tests and I wasn't paying attention that I cut that song a few months ago to use it as a ringtone. Now I have chosen a song that was 4 minutes and didn't encounter any restrictions.

These specific apps have never and never will work on non-Samsung ROMs. Samsung wrote them specifically to never work on anything but their own firmware. Plenty of alternatives on Play out there that do the specific jobs better.

Is there any music app that can take advantage of the always on display?

I have wondered about this, too. In fact, it seems to me that Samsung's always on display (AOD) feature is quite severely limited, to the point that I question it has value that exceeds its cost in battery life.
I like my S7 Edge device very much, but I also own a Droid Turbo 2 (basically the same device as the Motorola Moto X Force), and having become accustomed to the exceptionally useful features of its version of an AOD (called Moto Display), I can scarcely believe Samsung's engineers weren't embarrassed to release their flagship's analogous feature, having surely seen their competitor's version.
On the Motorola device, the Moto Display screen only comes on when you look at it or it detects activity in front of the screen.
Unlike Samsung's implementation, Moto Display reacts fully to touch, allowing the following interactions:
* initiate a screen unlock
* view icons of apps that have unseen notifications
* touch an icon to see a preview of the app's notifications
* drag an icon to a notification to initiate an interaction with the notification
It may not seem clear how this works, so here is an example of a frequent use case for me:
We frequently binge-watch various Netflix series on TV via a Chromecast, using my phone as the Netflix controller. When credits roll on an episode, I reach for the device and the Moto Display comes on. One of the icons will be a black and white version of the Netflix icon. I touch the icon, and a Netflix play-control appears at the top of the screen. I drag the Netflix icon to the forward-arrow ("next episode") on the Netflix control. The next episode instantly queues and begins to play on the TV. I move my hand away from the phone and its screen returns to the off state.
This whole process takes about 3 seconds, and is accomplished in a single smooth motion from start to finish. The first time I did it, I instantly appreciated how well thought out this particular user interface design was.
Another way in which the Moto feature excels is that third party app support is pretty much indistinguishable from first party apps, unlike Samsung, where some of the AOD and Edge features are limited to Samsung and affiliate apps.
I really hope Samsung doesn't rest on their laurels here, and continues to improve the Touchwiz AOD experience. They have a long way to go to match their competitor's similar feature, in my opinion.

You guys are expecting to interact with a feature that was solely meant to show the time and notifications... If you want to change music, turn the damn devices on.

I don't think it's unreasonable to hope for a more robust implementation at some point. If people go online and post about what they like and don't like, hopefully it is helpful for manufacturers and developers to gauge the demand for things they may be working on or thinking about developing in the future.
And I'm not at all sure I share your opinion about what Samsung intends as the ultimate boundaries and limitations of their always on display feature. Maybe they just ran out of time and had to settle for something less than they would eventually like to offer.

It's a very logical idea to use ways on for this (with the option to disable it)
Suprised it's not implemented.
Any news?
It could be very useful to change music while driving.
Or is there maybe something like the OPO swiping gestures?

I tried a xposed module and it doesnt worked with spotify, only with the music player.
Also the default musicplayer shows up when playing a song and waking up the phone, not like spotify where u directly see the lockscreen. Is there at least a way to make this possible for spotify?

Try XTouchwiz or Physical Button Music Control.
The first should work in theory if you freeze stock music app, and the second used to allow (it's been a couple months since I used it) to select which app would the "next/prev" action be directed to.

I know it's not the best nor ideal, but since I'm stock I'm currently using Samsung Music player and the latest update offered a new feature when not fully unlocking the device but just waking it up shows a full screen cover art with tags and the option to either Skip tracks and Play/pause, not much but better than unlocking the phone whilst driving lol.

When i was at the Samsung Note 7 Launch in NYC ? they told me the Note 7 international version had this and other cool things but the USA version could not because of infringement reasons. I wonder if anyone figured out how to put it in the USA version and the S7E.
note 7 has that option with samsung music, along with a much usefull AOD so i guess we will eventually get it as well once nougat arrives.
You can control any music player from AOD

Please like the video if you find it helpful:angel:
^^^ You are on Nougat though. Many people aren't, and without Nougat and the updated AOD, you can't control the music player from the AOD screen. It is actually a Grace UI AOD thing, but Grace UI is not on the S7E unless you have Nougat of course. My N7 has Grace UI and it has the much better AOD options you just showed.
Using the device almost a year and never heard of it before. I wonder what else I haven't explored yet

I have noticed this as well. It's not that the phone is generally slow, on the contrary, but the slow scrolling of long pages is annoying.
The DPI is 400 for the Display View Mode Setting Small, 440 for Medium and 480 for Large.
What is worse, in Small the Switch Tabs function in Chrome does not work anymore so you cannot switch or close tabs!
I tried changing the DPI with the adb shell wm density command but this has no effect.
Another annoying thing is that I cannot change fonts easily from Display Settings as I could on older Huawei phones. I have to use a Huawei Theme editor to change a theme every time I want to change fonts. This in itself is not a problem but this App shows multiple(!) ads of Mobile Strike when using it, absolutely annoying!
Overall I do like the M3. Battery life seems noticeably better than my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 2016 and that is the main reason I switched. The narrower size also makes it easier to hold than the Samsung.
I have managed to unlock the bootloader but have not found a working root solution yet.
Got mine too, i like it overall, but what was annoyed about soundquality over headphones.
tested it between onplus2,... oneplus headphones quality are way better.

Use the Chinese language of the Huawei page to get the unlock code because the Captcha function on the English page does not work. Use the English and Chinese pages next to each other so you know which button to press.
Instead of the adb command you can also use the SRK tool.

Problems w. Chrome & YouTube, Call feature not so good
I can confirm the open/switch tabs button in the preinstalled Chrome does not work at all. If I reset the whole tablet it sometimes works, but as soon as I sign-in into one of my Google accounts in chrome the tabs are dead. This is annoying, as soon as you open a new tab there's no way you can get to the old tabs…
AND: The Youtube app crashes as soon as I load the subscriptions tab. Can anybody else confirm? This is annoying too.
AND: The call feature was the main reason I bought this. BUT: You can make calls with it (even GSM and 3g), BUT: It does NOT have a dedicated speaker for your ear. It uses one of the (great!) standard media playing speakers on the side. So everybody around you (even on the quietest setting) can hear what the other person on the call is saying. So you must use a headset…
Any ideas on getting root or solving Chrome/YouTube?
By the way: I just did a small review of the M3 and put it up on YouTube:

I can't confirm that. Using Chrome and YouTube without any problems.
I got mine a couple days after the release date in a huawei pro shop in China. It came with Chinese ROM so none of the Google stuff is pre installed. I got my Google play store from their own app store and everything else from play store after that. YouTube and chrome works fine. The overall speed is a bit slower that expected. What bugs me is the wifi connection, seems to be quite slow and unstable. Lte wise seems to be OK overall. Battery life and general speed are way better that my tab s2 8.0 tho. What Roms are you guys running?

I have the B003 ROM, Android 6.0.
I can concur that the speed and battery life are better than on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0.
I just dug out my 2 years old z3 tablet compact since game streaming with moonlight on the m3 is totally unbearable. The z3 did a better job on streaming,general performance wise, I'm surprised how little the difference is between these two tablets since there's a two years gap. The m3 got a much newer processor as well as an extra gb of ram, I think the 2k screen is the one to blame, although I did turn it down to 1080 in settings. Battery life, m3 wins hands down.

I can confirm all of you the long battery life comparing to Tab S2.
to be honest, I don't have the same feeling about this tablet.
I've a good experience with smoothly and general speed but of course depends of what you are looking for, in my case, for work is perfect due to:
1. Phone/MTM function
2. SD Card slot
3. Battery Life
4. Screen inch resolution
5. Light and slim for portability
for gaming I'm going to wait the root if it's possible and why not, I guess and hope in a custom rom that I think it will solve all lags that other users got because from hw specs, it's really good to run all we want to have on this tab.

I've tried the 400dpi setting and can confirm that chrome tab and YouTube issue exist in the Chinese rom as well. Got the latest OTA today and it didn't fix the issue.
Not sure about Europe lte but I guess it will work, there is a option to turn on screen buttons on and off in my ROM, not sure about if it's for Chinese rom only or not.
Solved! Chrome Tab Switching and YouTube Subscriptions work again.
Solution: I had the "view mode" (Settings/Display) set to "small", so I can use as much screen estate as possible. Sadly this makes Chrome and YouTube unusable. Switched this view mode to medium and everything works (after a forced reboot by the settings app).
Strange:
I can not set the dpi via ADB. Via ADB i always get 480 dpi, no matter what setting I have set in view mode. And I can not change this dpi setting, it always stays on 480 dpi. I have the feeling the adb shell command doesn't work or is ignored. This is a bit sad, because I was hoping for the widgets and fonts and interface being as small as possible. But it's still a great device and I am happy.
Now Root is missing. Any ideas?
