Using Android KitKat on a Nexus 5 in 2023
This is just an amateur showcase of some old apps on my Nexus 5 running Android 4.4.4 KitKat. I wanted to preserve some of these old games and stuff because I loved KitKat and the Nexus devices and I still really miss the whole 2013-2014 era. I thought the Holo design was super clean and beautiful without being obnoxious and lame like Material You in Android 14. I also loved all these games, even though a lot of them are super obscure now. Perhaps this will bring back some nice nostalgic memories for some people lol. Have a good day :)
Songs: “Safe and Sound” by Capital Cities, “Team” by Lorde, “Get Lucky” by Daft Punk, and “A Sky Full of Stars” by Coldplay.
