Anyone notice anything taken out in T-Mobile 4.4 update on their Galaxy S4?

Just wondering if anything was taken out with this update? Any issues?

Not anything I've noticed so far. Been running smoother than my previous update.

Google Now Launcher. I hope this is only a short term problem because GNL is essential to making Kitkat a wonderful experience.

The Google now launcher isn't coming with an update for any phones especially Samsung phones. Google released it to the play store for Google play edition phones and nexus devices. Officially those are the only ways to get it. With a bit of hackery you can get it to run on any phone though.

The hide app feature is missing.

Well, that is sad to hear. Please tell us what is involved in installing the GNL on our phones. If the phone needs to be rooted I think I will pass.

If anyone with T-Mobile is interested in having the Google Now Experience you can download KitKat Launcher from the Playstore.
