I was on the email list and I didn't get that. Weird. I wonder if it goes out in "spurts" haha
I don't get it. Google wants all devices, including low end ones (512MB RAM) to run KitKat smoothly, and they want those devices to get KitKat, yet they don't want to update their own low end devices to KitKat (I read somewhere that Galaxy Nexus isn't getting it, which makes no sense at all... I suppose that those even weaker, like Nexus S, Nexus One won't get official update either).
Anyway, I'm looking forward to those capable people porting this thing to actual lower end devices and see how it works, and to see if it is going to be that smooth as Google promises...
Is it confirmed that Nexus 7 2012 edition will get 4.4?

Yes. In the other hand, the Galaxy Nexus is officialy dead.
I've got my tablet unlocked and rooted with CWM, will this affect OTA updates or not? I know that with my phone (Xperia Miro) it does but that won't be updated anytime soon.
Anyhow, I've got my hands on a working manifests.xml for Android 4.4 but the sources are incomplete, google is doing something as we speak because the errors changes everything I do repo sync.
I'll see if it syncs fine tomorow, if so, I'll try to build for nakasi so that we can have Android 4.4 as soon as possible

Nexus one wasn't really for cusumer use, more of a dev phone. Just fanboys build up non-sense hype.
Top much competition in the OS market.but google is safe from its rivals because of its service. But because now more companies want to have the similar services. These upcoming OS are a good platform to furnish with those services.

They better not release some motorola X phone 5 months after the Nexus 4. Boy will I be pissed about that if they do!
Really looking forward to KLP (pretty much confirmed to be the name and v5.0) when it comes out in June. Also hopefully I can get a ticket to IO 2013 :fingers-crossed:
Sony us the next manufacturer.. just google it. Klp ll be launched with it
Sent from my Xperia P using xda premium
I heard Sony too, which did put me off the Nexus 4 a bit, Sony > LG in my experiences.
i doubt there will be a new device launched at IO they only just launched and sorted out their supply issues of N10 and N4. i reckon they will give out white versions of the N4 at IO like shown in the leaked photos, and MAYBE the nexus 7 refresh will appear; releasing a new phone now will kill sales of the N4 and it wont happen nexus 5 or w/e it will be will be seen around sept/nov like every previous phone.
How do we know it will be called key lime pie? It seems to me that we're now on beans, so I think they'll call it "kidney bean", and then after that, "lima bean."
Neither kidney or lima beans are desserts.

Latest news shows that the Android 5.0 will be release in October, and it will be the time of X phone release.
Google have the habit of realse the new edition with new nexus ,can the X be the new nexus?
Some medias disclose the Android 5.0 have made many optimize for old phones ,it can be work in the RAM 512.
So do you thing ATRIX HD has the chance to update 5.0?

AHD is made better, bigger, stronger, better screen,(plus takes SD card, and playing games is way better on AHD) and can be found cheaper...[and with otterbox defender it is virtually indestructible for day to day phone use] Maybe a nextel hack would be nice...

It is a good choice,has a low price and a good performance .Especially its hardware,last month ,i take it climb the huashan mountain in China,it fall down from the step,nearly five metres ，but it is not broken ,only my screensaver broken.

Don't think it's anything to freak out about. It's just a leaked ROM which means it most likely already exists for the N4 it just hasn't been leaked. When the GPE phones get an official update before us then we can lose our s***. That won't ever happen though.

Most likely few people outside of Google have the Nexus 4 4.3 version. That is probably why you rarely see leaks with Nexus devices. Probably there are quite a few people outside of Google testing 4.3 on the GE phones. So it makes sense there was a leak. It sounds like 4.3 is going to hit soon anyways.
It will come when it comes. If 4.3 is almost ready for the sgs4 and the one it is probably ready to go for the nexus line as well.
Its not like we are hurting for good ROMs and kernels for this phone and need 4.3 to make are phones usable.

I wouldn't count on it, the Galaxy Nexus was the sister phone of the S2 and we didn't really get a touchwiz port (or at least a fully functional one, we got a few VANILLA based touchwiz Roms which were just AOSP that looked like touchwiz), and likewise for the Nexus 4, no LG ROM (again there was probably a really small dev project that ended up with a really bad port).
Anyway, point is, when you don't see an LG G2 ROM for the Nexus 5 I wouldn't throw the finger at Google or at XDA or at the developers.

Optimus G port for nexus 4 was ****. In alfa stage since beginning. Then no development at all. So I doubt there will be any functional G2 port for N5.

That being said I understand the amount of ROMs that a phone has is good...but why on Earth would we want to go back to anything like Sense, Touch wiz UX, or whatever LG calls their Android skin?
I thought owning a Nexus to go AOSP was part of the freedom. Anyways...if you do like the look of any ROM, there's tons of themes on XDA and the Market that mimic the exact look of other skinned Android distros.

I wouldn't count on it, the Galaxy Nexus was the sister phone of the S2 and we didn't really get a touchwiz port (or at least a fully functional one, we got a few VANILLA based touchwiz Roms which were just AOSP that looked like touchwiz), and likewise for the Nexus 4, no LG ROM (again there was probably a really small dev project that ended up with a really bad port).

The S2 was Exynos and the GNEX was OMAP. They shared nothing.

Anyways...if you do like the look of any ROM, there's tons of themes on XDA and the Market that mimic the exact look of other skinned Android distros.

I think you missed some of the point of the OP. Getting the N5 to look like a LG G2 isn't the problem, they want some or all of the functionality of the G2. Yes some may think that the UI is crappy, and they are entitled to their opinion. But then they're those of us who who do not share that same sentiment. I have both phones and while I like them both for the uniqueness, I use the G2 as my daily driver because of its functionality.

Good God no.
I understand that Android is about having choice, but at least pick the RIGHT choice. LG's bloated, uglier-than-Touchwiz skin will never be the right choice.

One of the S2 variants was OMAP.

Oh I remember that one. Samsung brought it out cause they couldn't keep up with their Exynos production and cheaped out with the OMAP and started shipping the 9100G to India first.

Hopefully it fixes the horrendous camera speed.
christianpost is full of click bait articles that have no basis in reality. They literally have daily stories going back a few months saying the nexus 10 (2013 edition) has been confirmed for release on a specific date (which changes every time it passes).
not saying 4.4.1 is not coming definitively, just saying that news source is worthless.

Agreed. christianpost and ibtimes are the two biggest google news spammers I've seen. I wish google news had a way to filter out specific sites. Again, 4.4.1 might be coming (and probably is). But I usually disregard both of the above sites as well as any other news site that quotes one of them as sources.
if there was an update coming, we'd see it on a more major site like android central, android police, droid life or even engadget... not to mention any posts from anyone in the know on G+
just my thoughts.
While I do agree with you all there is one thing that makes me think this is true. LLabTooFeR is very accurate when it comes to releases and if he stated it was coming to the HTC One soon then the nexus would get it first. He is a very reputable and accurate informer when it comes to updates.

4.4.1 will likely be released in the future. "Soon" might be a few mibutes, hours, days, weeks, or months.

Agreed, Football is generally right on when it comes to timing of releases for HTC devices. Did he say when 4.4.1 was coming or did he just say soon?
It doesn't take a genius to know 4.4.1 is going to be released for the N5 at some point. Nothing any news site so far has posted has any real inside info as to the date. So we will just have to wait and see.
LLabTooFeR
Is the man now behind the leaks. I was in the HTC One threads for months and he was the first at it. Football has semi retired from that.. I see LLabTooFeR putting them up now.

For users rooted and unlocked. But if on stock ROM. And haven't changed system around at all...we should be able to download and flash in twrp..

I really hope this update fixes the slow camera and hopefully brings more fixes.
Hopefully iB4STiD will update his rom for the new update because that is my favorite rom so far.
Camera and speaker
New camera app and loud speaker volume fix would make the Nexus 5 complete. :fingers-crossed:
