Hello friends, in this tutorial we will talk today about the new Android OS reached version codenamed 4.4 KitKat. As you probably already know, the Android OS is developed by Google for smartphonuri and tablets.
With each version of Android, Google has proposed to open new horizons and introduce software technology to offer users a more enjoyable experience when they want to consume multimedia content or use Google services. In Romania Android is the most used platform for gadgets and many choose it for ease of use and flexibility that has fantastic operating system Android. Using Android you can enjoy an extraordinary experience when you watch videos from YouTube platform, you play games, read ebooks or when you listen to music.
Although Android 4.4 was easily KitKat, it was anuntan with the new Nexus smartphone 5 being the first Android device running 4.4 KitKat.
What's new in Android 4.4 KitKat?
Although there are many interface changes have a valuable improvements in terms of stability of the operating system that is optimized for low resource consumption, faster switching between applications, imbunatatri in terms of graphics. Support has been added for smartphones that will inculde an infrared blaster, this will allow developers to build applications that will allow us to control various other gadgets which can be controlled with a remote control such as Smart TVs. All in improving the interface between unrelated and Bluetooth MAP (Message Access Profile) which allows auto cars equipped with Bluetooth to communicate with your Android device for application developers was introduced Chrome Web View meaning that applications using web content display , will do from now on using Chrome.
Improvements have been made to this touch, meaning that it is much faster and more accurate in Android 4.4 KitKat, and new touch gestures have also been introduced that application developers can use. It's more like "double tap" and "double tap and drag"
Regarding Android OS interface 4.4 KitKat we have icons for the phone application (Phone) Settings (Settings). Mobile application enables us to look up phone numbers belonging to companies, local businesses, even if they are not in the phone book.
If you have an active internet connection on your device when you write the name of a fast food pizza in the search box to the Phone application, this will suggest restaurants near you and with a simple tap on the displayed result will appeal to the pizzeria that.
Everything in the phone application is also used Google Caller ID meaning that if you call a number that you do not have it on your calendar, Google will attempt to identify the caller and display your name or company who is calling. Basically Google will see in a few seconds businesses listed in Google Maps and try to identify the number.
Also related to the interface we will notice that now the icons in Home Screen and Drawer (the drawer with applications) are a bit bigger, the fonts used in the operating system are a little thicker and more pleasing to the eye. Two options have been added to the system settings, "Home Screen" and "Printing". The Home Screen section allows us to easily switch between possible Launchers and Printing allows us to easily print documents. In order to use the Printing section you will need to connect your printer to Google Cloud Print
Other news is that: through Hangouts application can send and SMS messaging is practically unficata in a single application, support for emoticons in Google keyboard, Quickoffice allows managing local files in Google Drive account or other accounts cloud.
Functionality to add widgets to the lock screen disabled fosst but it can be reactivated in Settings (Settings)> Security (Security) by checking the box Enable widgets (enable or activate widgets widgets).
It is curious that in Android 4.4 KitKat returned to the old way of adding widgets to Home Screen as they proceed 2.3 Android Gingerbread, they are no longer found in your draw with alicatii (application drawer). For placing a widget on Home Screen will have to tap and hold a free port and reach the Home Screen icon Widgets.
What is Project Svelte and why is it important?
With each version of Android, Google aims to optimize and improve the operating system. You probably remember Project Butter which was born with the android version Jelly Bean, a project in which Google aimed to optimize the system in terms of graphics performance by optimizing the effects of transitions from one application to another, from one home screen to another trying to give users a "smooth" user experience.
With the launch of Android 4.4 KitKat, Google announce Svelte Project, a project that aims to make the new operating system even weaker devices by reducing the resources that it needs Android can run on weaker devices only 512 MB RAM. Starting from kernel, system, reduced footprint framework that they put on the RAM and have made improvements to how the Android operating system manages, administers or uses RAM.
In conclusion, the new operating system Android interface 4.4 KKitKat is more pleasant, warmer than giving up the blue and black background predominant colors found in many applications. Its interface has become easier and more intuitive and these measures were probably taken as many times publications or competing companies argue that Android as an operating system too complex and too difficult to understand the interface.
I have some days when I use Android 4.4 KitKat and will honestly say that I find it hard to return to a previous version. Once you get used to the new design brighter and warmer 4.4 Android, you will find it difficult to return to an older version that uses the old blue and black color combination.

Adrian, could you give me a link where I can download Android 4.4 for Samsung Galaxy Y?
Do not mean to be rude but I do not think anyone would bother to build a ROM based on Android 4.4 for this model simply because it is old and has very poor specifications.
Since Samsung will not tell you for sure that an update to Android 4.4 aft from Google or so, it maintains and provides updates to the latest Android version only Nexus devices (Nexus 4, 5 Nexus, Nexus and Nexus 7 10. Nexus One, Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus will not receive the update to Android 4.4 cycle that topped 18 months, during which Google is committed to providing updates for a device from the Nexus range)
Basically you are at hand enthusiasts and others on XDA developers or other forums. If anyone dares to build a build based on Android 4.4 remains to be seen! There are currently no custom ROMs based on Android Samsung Galaxy Y 4.4's moving too soon. Do some research and you XDA Developers forum and who knows, maybe in the next few weeks will persuade a developer to build something for the owners of Galaxy Y
The capture software with which you monitored the android interface works very very jerky on Android 4.4 KitKat, it has a huge and very delayed lag, which on Jelly Bean doesn't look like that ...., you have to find another capture method or maybe another more stable ROM: D
Hi Adrian. Is there any possibility to follow your tutorials on android tablet? I require flash player.

All about phones ....
how to update the operating system Android tablet HD EvoTab Evolio?
How to install the S2 Galaxy or another Android device clean the operating system from Google, which is why vrreau mean, to install it without root, so in short I want to put Android on the Galaxy s4.2 4.3 2 or without doing root without CyanogenMod, no nothing, just like the Google Nexus or 4 5. I want to try to see the differences between Android just with TouchWiz. How to do this, not to spoil tel. the kernels with root not know where I want to flash with Odin uiesc a pure android or 4.2 4.3.
From what I can tell you're very confused. Every operating system comes with a kernel without him operating the system unworkable. Sure, you can separate plashe another kernel build if you like but most sites (custom ROMs) come bundled as a whole and will include system image, bootloader image, image recovery, kernel and everything.
Android Open Source Project (AOSP) code and provide everything needed to optimize, customize and create an Android ROM or a custom operating system.
Often those who build a ROM from AOSP source (again, AOSP source is not an operating system ready in place) they choose to include in their different features and make changes either in the interface or system kernel.
Rarely happens that developers build of an android AOSP clean ROM with no additional functions or without additions, changes in the kernel. Often the kernel changes must be made or else necessarily result in AOSP ROM will not work on devices for which it is built.
So if you choose to see what it looks like the pure Android on Nexus comes, will be for some and for others IMOS possible.
For example, some developers on XDA Developers forum have built an AOSP ROM based on Android Samsung Galaxy S4.3 2 (as well as other smartphones S3) and luckily were not added extra stuff, at least that's what they say on site: http://goo.gl/UlFhCN
Unfortunately we do not offer flash ROM via Odin uibil but through ClockworkMod Recovery
Now, if you root your device or flash a custom recovery uiesti (ClockworkMod Recovery) will be end of the world! Any smartphone can be brought to the factory state if you make a backup before. I can do any smartphone unroot (you can get rid of root, you can remove the root) and i can delete custom recovery image by simply restoring backup (assuming you made one)
To root your smartphone is not a bad thing! It gives you more control over the system, you can control more, you can change, you can use applications that require root (and they are very numerous)
Tell us know how you installed android 4.4 if all boast both your phone
I do not brag about it. He used to mention in video tutorials or sites coomponente different hardware devices that we use for it is important for more technical people concerning our tutorials or want to use the same or similar hardware devices.
If you do not mention what smartphone I used it I had read as a Nexus 5 already on hand or whatever would be asked many comments that I installed Android smartphone 4.4
Grow up!
hello, do you know the nexus 7 2012 occur when a software update? Your guess the fish was made official about this watered.
Not even mentioned in the tutorial that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus no longer receives updates from Google, I even explained why.
Google does not know when releasing updates for devices in range. They just come when they will be available, you will definitely get.
Good presentation but call to advertise Nexus. Nexus up Nexus down .... and what's the advice for the many of us who already have pretty powerful phones? Should we buy a Nexus? Introduce yourself to Android 4.4 ... and what if? Most are in the hands of incompetents who do not give a damn about customers. Instead of updating the old systems where they can, they make other better phones, so money matters. The rest is that it's free, that it's the coolest right now, that Nexus seems to be God leaves me cold. Return with your feet on the ground. Make tutorials to help others with something. Good luck!
I did not require anyone anything! All I did was to introduce the operating system and the benefits of a smartphone Nexus range. Who would they buy, who does very well!
I do not think I said in tutorial buy your Nexus. To you it sounds like a commercial. He can not say anything because the man is automatically advertised. And even complains would be someone put a knife to your throat to buy Nexus?
Do not be so tense!
