Well, you can. But it depends on what you mean by upgrade. Do you mean to the official and latest Samsung skinned version of the OS? Or do you mean upgrade to a stock version of Android, potentially even Kit Kat?

Ugh. I seriously hate HP. I know a lot of people default to the "But it's HP, I know who they are, thus they're good". No, no they're not and their freaking Tech Support is the absolute worst. I was on the line one time for almost 2 hours being transferred from one person to another back to the first one and so on and…

Same here. At work I got them to switch away from HPs to nothing but ASUS, with the occasional Lenovo thrown in. No issues at all since I instituted the "no HP on my freaking watch" policy. Being the IT person for the company has its perks, especially when I can avoid giving any money to HP.

They do it partially based on claims done by people with them.

surespot does similar on Android. Just FYI.

Well, I got some great news for you in that case. You're getting the update starting today according to Android Central.

That's weird. I'll need to test it on someone else's devices and see how it does. The only time Chrome lags for me is on my work desktop and then only cause I'm running a portable version from a USB flash drive.

Am I the only one who has never had an issue with Chrome on Android? I see people say it lags but I've never experienced it myself. Then again I have an N4 now running Kit Kat, so maybe I just chose a great device to use it on. But neither of my N7s (2012 and 2013) have Chrome lag.

Aww. Lol. I have a Nexus 4, so I'm on stock (but rooted) 4.4. : )

You could always revoke the permissions you don't think it needs using App Ops (which is hidden but easy enough to find in stock Android) or something like XPrivacy. I've personally used both randomly for apps that I really wanted on my devices but that were asking for permissions I didn't think they needed.

You win the internets today. Everyone take the rest of the day off.

Yeah, CM is definitely available for your device. Just checked here, you'd definitely want the stable version for sure.

THIS. The cable being used tends to be the biggest issue with flashing stuff to phones. I also always recommend non-stock cables. Anything decent you can get from anyone but the OEM will almost always work and last longer while working.

If you root, be sure to look into the Xposed Framework and XPrivacy. Allows you to do the same thing. Heck, you can just root a stock ROM and install both and you're good to go.

I had for awhile on my Nexus 7 (2012) when it came out. I switched back to stock Android though, because I honestly prefer stock. Although I switched to a de-odexed version, just to be able to customize things to my choosing.

Okay, there's a reason for that. Most of the time Google does staged rollouts. Meaning you're up to date, but you're likely not one of the lucky people who got the actual latest version.

What phone do you have? And with what carrier? Also, rooted, unroofed, stock, custom ROM, etc?

Alright, I can dig that. I have but one request though. Can you at least wait to unleash your plague of locusts until they have released the 4.4 factory image for the Nexus 4? I'd kind of like to get my official stock Kit Kat on before you destroy everything. : )
