Swipe is gone. Google Keyboard is free on the Play Store and has Swype feature built in.

That's why I like SwiftKey.

That's dumb. But thank you

I guess Google is trying to get us closer to stock Android. I liked the swype setting on my stock keyboard better than Google keyboard but so far it's working pretty good and it's close to swype. Google calls it Gesture Typing.

And why did they take the dev options off

I think if you tap Build Number multiple times in Settings > About Phone, that will turn Developer Options back on. It did for me.

I don't like the new Text or Email apps - I'd uninstall this update right now if I could - just my opinion.


ETA - Is there a way to rollback to older version OS?

Most likely not. That hasn't gone well on the x or other phones that got the 4.4.2 update. It usually updates the bootloader.
