I'm looking forward to this too, with some trepidation. My understanding for Kit-kat 4.4 is that on the SD card apps can only write to files and folders that they have created or have taken ownership of. I'm sure Onyx has thought of this but it might affect other apps we install. You'll need apps like Link2SD and FolderMount to make them work properly. I don't think the average user has patience for this.

BTW, I've been using FolderMount for months on my phone and have had not corruption, FWIW.

As far as most of these enhancements go, I have not seen any need to do this. I'm not saying it's not useful, it's just that for a typical user I don't see the need. Except for being a power user I think my use case is typical of most users.
  • I use my T68 primarily as a reader. I think the built in reader apps are pretty good.
  • I want to be able to access some other apps from it though. These include
    • Email
    • Web browser
    • Evernote
    • Olive Tree Bible app
    • Calendar
  • If I wanted to use it much more I would get a tablet or laptop.

I must not be using ezPDF properly. I've never thought much of it. I'll have to take a look at it again, based on your recommendation.

I did install the google keyboard which is a much better keyboard, especially for an eink device.

I liked Lightning browser but like the feature of offline reading of the built in browser.

As far as Lightning Launcher goes, I've already tried and purchased enough launchers. That's a never ending chase and I'm not spending another red cent on another me too app That being said, I am writing my own launcher based on the features I like from some of the other launchers I've used. And I don't expect anybody's reaction to be any different than mine.
