4.3 without Knox?

[ronnienyc]

I have been reading through the Dev threads and I am confused about a couple things.

1. can 4.3 be installed without the Knox boot loader?

2. Has anyone noticed speed/responsiveness improvements?
(I also have the Nexus 5 and it is super snappy, but I am not sure if that is due the the software or just the hardware?)
I have heard that the battery life is improved with 4.3...

3. I believe there is a new radio? Is is better? Stronger signals?

Thanks all.

1. No. Unless you flash a Knox-less custom ROM, but you can't do it with the official one
2. 4.3 greatly improves the performance with many people saying the lag is completely gone
3. They can't add in a radio on the phone as that is not software. They can add support for a new band but your speeds won't increase if you're not in one of the markets that supports said band
Hope that answers your Q's

Thanks for the quick follow up.
As for #1, I was referring to custom. As far as I could tell, there are not even custon ROMs without Knox?!?
#2, that's good to know that the lag is lessened. That drives me insane, and that is why I now also have a Nexus 5. No lag ever.
And for #3, I meant the radio software, not the actual hardware radios. Often new software can make for stronger signals, less dropped calls, etc.

Thanks.

There should be Knox-less ROMs. I think I helped someone find it the other day
Look for one on xda-developers
I still answered your third question lol
