How are people liking the latest version of Android 4.3???

 

For me, it seems that my Gnex( Galaxy Nexus) and my N7 (Nexus 7) are a bit more snappier which is nice.

 

 

a lot of it is under the hood improvements, but they have made a real difference to my devices which is great.

 

your thoughts????

had no idea about the trim on android. did it really make a lot of difference? (i know on ssd they do, i was so happy that my old corsair x32 had a firmware update that gave it trim) but i didnt figure on phones and tablets. what were the other changes made? (other than the camera)

Does feel snappier. Before the update, I noticed visible lagging while switching home screens. Less so now.

Even if Android 4.2.2 on my S4 was pretty fast, the half second delay for example when unlocking the phone or startinmg the camera app drove me crazy. Android 4.3 runs much faster, until devs start to code more heavy usage programs... oh, the spiral of computing platforms... :(

Feels faster on my N4 and the touch sensitivity has got a lot better and the colors look nicer. The only problem is im getting random reboots sometimes and wifi is a little worse so i may flash back to 4.2.2

 

My N7 feels a lot slower but that may be because i had it OCed to 1.6GHz and it was so smooth like that im waiting for a new kernel for 4.3 for that.

 

4.3 was a little hit and miss on the N4 seeing as a lot of people of having all sorts of issues.

For the N7 pretty good got rid of the master key issue.

Biggest differences has been with the Nexus 7, almost like it's had new hardware, my Nexus 4 I haven't noticed a difference.
