I know that this forum doesn't see much traffic anymore, but I'll continue to post until I ditch the phone :)

Received the 4.4.3 OTA on Tuesday. I've included a screenshot of the update. It weighs in at 156MB, which is larger than most of the Nexus update, I believe. I'll try to keep a running tally and known bugs, but it's really hard to distinguish between real and placebo effect (IE, camera improvements, UI performance).

Added:
-no known additions

Changed:
-Dialer is more colorful, but not a complete overhaul. You'll feel right at home if you've been using the KitKat dialer.

Removed:
-Picasa uploader (looks like Google has finally taken this away)

Fixed:
-Garbled sound on wake has been fixed

Known Bugs:
-MicroSD still not showing up under Storage Access Framework (SAF)
-Lockscreen Music Widget track not updating

Hi

Sorry to see you leaving, thanks for the updates.

I installed Android 4.4.2 GPE on my device and it went OK.
Now the OTA update for 4.4.3 that was downloaded automatically is failing, and I tried to manually install it and it also failed with the same error. The error is:

Code:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "jgedlte" || getprop("ro.build.device") == "jgedlte"

Error in /cache/(...)

Status 7
Installation aborted.
Any clue on what I may be doing wrong?


installing from ZIP 7c24931a5ecc3103f99de456cda73250f3b3a1b9.USER_I950 5G_XAR_UCML4_to_UCNE3_Update_FWD.zip
in internal folder sdcard0
Device I9505 (International)
using CWM 6.0.4.7 (manual zip selection)

If my current version is a custom GPE rom, then can someone please point me to a GPE rom that works with the update to 4.4.3?

thanks
