I just enrolled and 30 seconds later checked for the update and it is downloading now! Wow that was fast!

Sweet, I was waiting for the OTA.

Not much has changed other than the nav buttons "dim". Really hope they make the nav bar transparent and allow to auto hide in ALL apps.

They enabled hd calling. Before the speaker s/speaker phone sounded HORRIBLE and now it's good.

Navigation bar vanished... Please help!

I installed an app called Full screen and it worked pretty well until I disabled it. At that point, my navigation bar did not come back and it's stayed hidden since. I've rebooted a few times and reinstalled the app but nothing's making the navigation bar appear.
I'm desperate not to have to wipe the tablet and start again so can anyone please suggest anything?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
Download GMD gesture control (adds in multitouch pinching gestures like on the iPad) and enjoy the fact that you no longer have that screen wasting bar across your screen. The navigation bar was the first thing I removed when I got this tablet.
Seriously?
I'm always grateful for any help offered but that's like a doctor telling you to chop your arm off after you go to him with tennis elbow.

Dirty flash your ROM and it should be fixed.

Thank you.
I'm not really sure what that is but can I restore it with a factory reset?

If you mean flashing back to stock: yes that should work.
If you mean clicking factory reset in recovery mode: probably not

Weird SystemUI coding Need help please

Was android coded whilst looking at it upside down? I'm currently trying to make a mod for the statusbar for CM10.2 where I'm moving the signal, and wifi icons to the left side. However.. I noticed that the battery icon says this
"<TextView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Battery" android:gravity="left|center""
Correct me if im wrong, but wouldnt Gravity "Left | Center" mean its to the left, or in the center?
Im very confused.
I assume it means that either means be on the left but move to the center if there is an other icon in its way or it will be on the left but on CyanogenMod there is an option to move it to the middle so it will move it to the center.

go to settings, inputlanguage, choose hebrew
now you know why 4.3 has millions of lines of code.

It's not the millions of lines of code, Im talking about why does it say the clock is on the left side, or the center, when it is ONLY on the right side. Nowhere in CM is an option for centered clock. It's a bit odd.

Andy, I don't see an option in CM for a centered clock, nor does the clock get moved.
However I did finally just change it to only center, and it didn't move.
Most i got from it was a clean boot up, little bit of a flashing screen that cleared up within 5 seconds, and nothing has changed.

Then I guess that was some feature of a rom I used to have on my old phone which is currently hard bricked.

Looked absolutely everywhere, Some roms have it but CM trys to stay as stock as possible, while just enhancing the stock feeling. Like being able to add more tiles to the Quick Tiles. But thats about it.

The thing is that all that code is for translation because Hebrew uses different type of characters so it needs to be matched up with the English characters.

thats what i said. why do you think 4.3 had thousands of lines of code. they must have refactured the entire UI system for that one.
i once tried to reverse the navbar, heck, it wasn't easy - but this is just insane, they even flip fragments.
it makesfor a cool trick to play on clueless nexus users though

Yes, I'm on 4.4 stock. And I get the translucent bars on the home screen but not on the lock screen.
But as far as i can tell this is normal and you can't do anything about it aside from replacing the framework.
So this would be the only thing different software wise ,as I said in the opening post?

Yes your missing o, e, i, n and g. There must be a problem with your spellchecker. Try SwiftKey. Its much better than stock.

And you're missing an apostrophe and an "e" people in glass houses...
But to answer the OP's question, we're missing HDR+, low power music playback, and... yeah I'm struggling to think of any other software differences. Even the 2 differences I mentioned are hardware dependant. And to think I was considering "upgrading".

hardware difference = software difference....multiple features are exclusive, therefore there's a difference

I tried turning it off and on a bunch of times, and now it still does the same flickering, but now when I touch the screen, it says "day dream have stopped responding". Before it would just exit daydream mode. Now it crashes

So apparently holding down the recent apps button opens the menu feature in apps. So now that I have that function my Chase app has the ability to deposit checks again.

Request centre clock

Is it possible to get centre clock for android N it's the only thing I miss Lol
That's the only thing I'd like to change also. I saw a thread here and it looks like it's pretty simple change. That thread provides flashable zips. But with the stock recovery I don't think I can use them. More research required.
