Whilst we wait for our Nexus/Developer builds to get KitKat (I know it won't happen for at least a couple of weeks)... I started having a debate here with a couple of mates on what the 'Next' version (possibly Android 5) will be called!!...

I suggested 'Lollipop', one of my mates said 'Liver' (he's a iClone user!) and another said 'Latte' but I told him it won't be Java based!!

What do you guys think???

I'm presuming so it's only a year old.

Yes.. it does according to Android Central

I hope the update comes out soon, ever since 4.3 my Nexus 10 doesn't seem to feel as smooth when switching between apps... lets hope the lowered requirements speeds things up a bit.

I'm hoping 3rd party launchers will take advantage of the transparent nav bar, so far needing to root for it is a bit annoying.

I reckon they'll take a break from the norm and target butch females with Android Lesbian.

Lollipop or Lamington?

Then perhaps Meringue, Marble Cake, Madeira or Muffin?

Does anyone know how to be able to scroll through the home screens on 4.4 like you could on previous versions, and by that I mean so when you reach your last home screen, if you continue scrolling you would go back to your first home screen?

How can you set a certain home screen as the "main" one which is the go to one when you hit the button instead of it going to #1?

Alarm clock widget seems missing from Widgets by default - just me or anyone else?

Set the language to English US then it will work. Doesn't work with English UK. Long press on the home screen, then settings, then voice.

Never been able to do that on stock!, it's always needed a 3rd party launcher like Apex or Nova!

It's possible that's been included as the Google Launcher is pretty much built into the search app now, so it could be pushed to everything in time.
