I have the flashlight app on my M8 back when it was running 4.4.2.I got 4.4.4 a couple of weeks ago, as well as everyone else it seems. I just checked and there's new updates available for me. So are you still on 4.4.3, or are you saying this is a second 4.4.4 update that just adds the Eye Experience (whatever that is).
We also got the stock file explorer and a flashlight app with the update from a couple weeks ago.

Got the file explorer app after updating to 4.4.3
And the 4.4.4 update was the Eye Experience, with updates basically just in the Camera app.

I am sure glad that my M8 is not tied to any network provider.The OP was talking about the Verizon update, which didn't get the flashlight and file explorer until 4.4.4.
