Kitkat - Droid Ultra General

Just noticed this
When you click on the android version you get an S? When I was running kitkat on my xt912 it used to be an K maybe S for soak test?

I also got the soak test and also have the "S" instead of the K....

I side loaded it from the update.zip here at XDA so of course my has an S also. Wonder if it is a finished bake or if there will be an updated version that will be pushed out to everyone else and the "official" soak testers leaving those of us that used the soak to update out in the cold.

Totally agree, and in the mean time...THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SOAK.

I wouldn't say that. I had a full system freeze which has never happened before. Had to hold the power button to restart phone.
Normally when that happens it is an app and you can hit home key and go back.
First time on a stock build this has ever happened.

I have had zero issues with the 4.4 update. Easy install, easy root, and it's pretty smooth.

Well, with the exception of the people whose stock phones bricked, there isn't too much wrong. The home key is a pain in the neck. I'm also having higher battery drain since the update. Otherwise, anybody who picked up my phone would have a hard time figuring out if it was running Jellybean or KitKat.

You said easy root. Are you talking about the root path (being rooted and then making it keep through the update)? Or did you have some other root method that worked for you on kitkat? It may be a long shot, and I know it's not known to work, but I've been meaning to try root on 4.4 to see if I get lucky.

I cheated, because I have the Dev Edition, so I just have to flash SuperSU in recovery.

Was just playing with this and got this to come up. Looks like its an easter egg. When you get the S keep tapping until you get the android logo. Then long press it
Maxx'd out Kit Kat

That should help you out, if you haven't seen it already. I may or may not hold off on the OTA because it may help with the Droid X rooting efforts. Chances are I'll get it though :-/
This is my first android phone so I'm just wondering...what's the procedure for an OTA update? Will the Droid X automatically prompt us when it becomes available or is there a manual action required?

automatic, so yes something will prompt you and if you don't click for it yourself in 3 minutes is the time frame i believe, it will automatically just do it. it will restart your phone after it downloads and then install and start up again.
i haven't got the update yet but i have been manually checking all day! i want it bad lol.

HTC EVO Shift Release - 2.76.651.5 (3.92MB) OTA

I just got this 2.76.651.5 update OTA and so far it seems to have fixed the Sense UI reloading issue from the last OTA update. Here to hoping it's finally fixed.
Will there be any issues when this comes to achieving root? The last ota i got totally screwed me. Can anyone confirm whether or not this will inpead root ability?

I guess it depends on what all was changed, but i have always "thought" any ota closed a exploit, but this one hasnt been found by any dev for them to need to close it, so thats up in the air

I screwed myself by accepting the last OTA update. I'm certainly not accepting this one until know for sure it won't screw me further.
I'm personally not going to take that update atm. Still not happy with my current phone situation anyway... Had an Epic 4G but my fiancee wanted to upgrade from her dated Samsung Moment. So i looked around on Craigs and bought a Shift 4G. She didn't want the shift though, because she got so attached to her game-gripper on the Moment. So I gave her my Epic and took the Shift. Too bad it already had 2.3.3 on it =/
I'm just waiting on a new root exploit and I'm afraid to update anything on this sucker until then lol
I would never accept any OTA update. If root is ever discovered again and it requires the update you can always get it...can't really go back once you have it. On the other hand development for this phone is really slow and I believe root will only be found if it happens to be the same exploit as the newer phones so you may be without it for quite awhile and if the sms/mms issue affects you then you may want to take it. I know it is tempting but think about how it feels not having root just because you wanted the newest update.

So for anyone taking this ota, we need a favor before you flash it, atleast hook up to your pc find the update and throw it on dropbox,multiupload,megaupload,mediafire, somewhere so a dev can get their hands on it

+1 Be careful. If anything, just see if you can DL it without loading to phone. That way we can take a look at it.

Works on locked bootloaders. Flashed fine on my phone. Was trying out a way to keep root, but failed. So I figured I'd just go all the way and update the boot loader too since it won't let me flash back. No regrets. Don't use root for much anyway. If Jcase releases an exploit; since I saw on his twitter he has root; I'll probably will re-root. For now happy with my Kitkat.

It feels fast, but that could be a placebo effect. Will know as time passes. Have notice 1 issue so far. The multitask button acts funny sometimes from the home screen. The screen will flicker whenever you press it from the home screen and sometimes you have to press it twice. Don't know if this is intentional, but whenever you flick away all, but one app the multitasker closes.

Damn it, now I wish I didn't just root recently and get comfortable with all my mods... Now I don't want to lose them. If only this released a week ago, I would have flashed this already... Ah, first world android problems /facepalm

Interesting what Moto did with the camera. Now there is a green box with a circle around it that you drag to where you want to focus and set exposure. See images:

The lock screen itself didn't have an issue, the active display screen does. Still working to remedy that.

This may be a dumb question, but when flashing the Moto X faux kernel on the stock 4.4 rom, I had to Uninstall the active display app and reinstall it from the market to make it work. Is it possible that's all you need?

No luck. Uninstalling then reinstalling from the market has actually made active display "inactive" lol. Oh well...like the port otherwise. Seems like significant battery life improvement over 4.4 stock and the 4.4.2 port. Nice job.
