It is just bug fixing, aka the open-SSL bug which was patched. From z1c users there are some z2 apps like the simple launcher and some other apps
Launcher version is 6.2.1.A.0.11
New apps are Pixlr Express, Neoreader, Evernote and TV Sideview

nothing else added it seems, don't expect 4k or even timeshift, I'd only want timeshift but honestly don't care anymore.
I have no idea if 769 or 761 ever hit unbranded Z1 phoness but I am still on 757 and although it is stable, there are bugs which I am not happy about, so I am not expecting this new firmware to hit my phone anytime soon.
btw if the update is only minimal, like the nexus had, why is the firmware version such a big jump? 14.3 to 14.4?

In the change log it states camera performance is improved. I wonder if they mean image quality and or better stability from the camera.
I'm so happy 'cause today
I've found my friends ...

the update is awesome! the phone fly again, like with android 4.3!
Great bug fixed...
1 click root still working, so you all can flash 4k and 120fps videos with no problems (still to resolve is the steady shot in 4k which is not working ATM). |

i checked earlier and PCC only offers me the 757 update 
do i need to update to 757 in order for PCC to show that i need the new one? I am thinking no?

Nothing on my end yet, the camera performance improvements are probably the start up time and stability. |

I don't recomend OTA update.
It always "dirty".
Do a backup of your apps and settings/data using PC Companion and make a clean install of system. (repairing installation on PCC)
This upgrade worth it !
Battery are even better now!
I'm very pleased with this firmware.
Camera starting faster, apps loading faster, the desktop black screen after unlock is gone, phone takes longer to get hot even playing heavy games, the annoying auto constrast are softer now and UI are smoother too. Noticeably smooth on every place.
Are you nervous? |

so backing up on 4.3 means i can't restore on 4.4 via the backup app.. does PCC let you backup/restore from 4.3 to 4.4? I never tried it. but there's no point in backing up if i can't restore it.

@moogoo I have no idea but I feel you should be able, unless you mean going back to 4.3 from 4.4 which I feel would require you to flash the firmware manually.
As for the update, swiping from the bottom now gives 2 options, google now and whats new from sony which was not present before. |

well i guess i'll just give it a try. i just know that when i try to restore using the backup app on the phone, it says the formats are incompatible.
still no new firmware on my PCC.. just the old 757 one. sigh. i wonder how much longer i'll have to wait..
.. so i just looked on sony's USA website and it says the latest firmware available is 14.4.A.0.108. which means i should get it. just have to wait..
