Android "four point four" (aka KitKat) is what most HTC One users are still eagerly waiting for. The "senseless" version is already available to download via Over The Air (OTA) update on the HTC One Google Play Edition.
If you havent received the update yet, or you dont have a Google Play Edition variant of the HTC One, you can still have a taste of the fresh Google goody. Just navigate to my HTC One Google Play Edition thread on the xda-developers forum and download Android Revolution HD based on Android 4.4 KitKat for the HTC One.
What weve already learned so far is that youll probably need an S-OFF device in order to properly boot KitKat custom ROM. Its a weird issue we still investigate and we hope to come up with some more convenient solution soon!
Also some good news for HTC Sense fans - Android 4.4 with HTC Sense 5.5 on board will be available very soon! Dont be upset its still Sense 5.5 instead of Sense 6.0. New update will bring a lot of bugs fixes and all the goodies Android 4.4 comes with. Stay tuned!

To create Custom InfoWindow for Google Maps Android API v2:
- Make your Activity implements GoogleMap.InfoWindowAdapter.
- Override getInfoWindow(Marker marker) and getInfoContents(Marker marker).
The API will first call getInfoWindow(Marker) and if null is returned, it will then call getInfoContents(Marker). If this also returns null, then the default info window will be used. The first of these (getInfoWindow()) allows you to provide a view that will be used for the entire info window. The second of these (getInfoContents()) allows you to just customize the contents of the window but still keep the default info window frame and background.
- setInfoWindowAdapter(this).
Modify MapsActivity.java from last example "Make GoogleMaps marker draggabe and detect moving marker".
public class MapsActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback, GoogleMap.OnMapClickListener, GoogleMap.OnMapLongClickListener, GoogleMap.OnMarkerDragListener, GoogleMap.InfoWindowAdapter {
private GoogleMap mMap;
@Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps); // Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified when the map is ready to be used. SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager() .findFragmentById(R.id.map); mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
}
/** * Manipulates the map once available. * This callback is triggered when the map is ready to be used. * This is where we can add markers or lines, add listeners or move the camera. In this case, * we just add a marker near Sydney, Australia. * If Google Play services is not installed on the device, the user will be prompted to install * it inside the SupportMapFragment. This method will only be triggered once the user has * installed Google Play services and returned to the app. */ @Override public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) { mMap = googleMap; mMap.setOnMapClickListener(this); mMap.setOnMapLongClickListener(this); mMap.setOnMarkerDragListener(this); mMap.setInfoWindowAdapter(this); }
