    KitKat for SGS4 rollout started

    Got 4.4.2 OTA for my Galaxy S4 yesterday.

    Installed fine, no major changes to speak of, but generally feels more responsive.

    I found that when I updated my Moto G to 4.4.2 it felt a little more sluggish but I activated the ART runtime in the developer options and now it feels a lot more smooth.

    Note 2's have now got the KitKat update - also confirm handset is more sluggish. Often freezing for some time.

    Is the Google Now home screen part of KitKat or is it exclusive to Nexus 5?
