Will be mainly bugfixes like the camera app and battery life i guess and maybe a few new features.

I'm not sure " sooner than I think" , it's been a while since an update

Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie NOT Appearing on Google I/O

Just recently, all the tech sites are saying, Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie will not be released at Google I/O in May, but instead just Android 4.3;
http://www.aegindia.org/2013/04/android-key-lime-pie-not-appearing-on-google-io/2122449.html
According reliable information, the release of Android Key Lime Pie is postponed by another two to four months. The delay will give sometime for the manufacturers to provide Android 4.2.2 update for their devices.
A lot of sites, saying behind the scenes that Samsung will be very upset with Google to see Android 5.0 released, just a month after they just brought out their flagship new phone the Galaxy S4, running Android 4.2. Samsung does not want to be trumped just a few weeks later, making their brand new S4 outdated with 4.2, if 5.0 comes out shortly afterwards.
And rumors saying Google would rather release Android 5.0 on a brand new Nexus phone at the same time. So going to the typical Fall release, we will see a Nexus-Five phone running Android 5.0, competing at the same time, directly against the iPhone 5S.
Now who will be the manufacture of the Nexus-Five ? Most point to LG again, or possibly Sony this time. But "5" will be the magic number; Android 5.0, Nexus 5, and 5" screen.

Curious what 4.3 will add to Jellybean ? Just minor tweaks and bug fixes ?
Will "Babel" be the main new feature ? Which I think is combining all Google Messaging to one main app ? Maybe Project Battery, giving even better battery life on stock Android ?
This is upsetting lol .. Also I will be pissed if a new nexus comes out already

a new nexus phone will be out toward the end of the year, klp will be released with it.
I'm so done with jellybean

Kinda dumb that Google would delay it just because Samsung would throw a fit.

Totally agree. I could not see an all new version Android 5.0 still being released on the current Nexus 4. I would think Google would want to release a brand new fully new version, on a brand new phone at the same time.
I expect Android 4.3 next month, released on the Nexus 4, and the only new "Nexus" device coming out at Google I/O will be the new revised Nexus 7 tablet.
And then in the Fall we will get the Nexus-Five phone, running Android 5.0.
I've only had my nexus 4 for 2 months!! Rawr

The Galaxy Nexus came with ICS(first device to have it). It also got updated to JB 4.1 as soon as it was released (June 2012 ?). So why is everyone making a fuss about the N4 getting 2 major Android releases (4.2 and possibly 5.0). In fact 4.2 was not even a Major update over 4.1.
I really hope Google brings out KLP in I/O!

Agreed. I highly doubt they would postpone their software because Samsung is having a fit .However I would see it would make since to do Nexus 5 with key lime pie. I think key lime pie is going to be a almost entirely different os most likely mirroring their new google play/search style. Just my opinion though.
So the rumor that Google would reveal Key Lime Pie at their developer conference has been dispelled by... more rumors. This is a fun game.

Nexus 7 (2012, 2013) And Nexus 10 4.4 OTA starting

Okay, so this happened: Android Police: Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 OTA
Hopefully it won't take long for us now
Yay! I have my Nexus 4 rooted and have the bootloader unlocked running stock ROM 4.3 (JWR66Y) with TWRP recovery flashed and LTE enabler flashed. What is the easiest way for me to update to 4.4? (either through OTA or flashing the 4.4 ROM/update)
We are the next hour by tomorrow nexus 4 gets kitkat

OTA Updates won't do you no good, even if you receive a notification with rooted stock, it'll most likely fail.
Either flash back to bone stock (no root, no custom recovery) and hope you get it soon, or wait until someone gets the N4 OTA, rips out the new binaries and compiles a new ROM with them from scratch, which you then can flash via CWM/TWRP.
Personally, I choose the latter. Also, do read the article in the link, it explicitly states that only the N7 and N10 have their OTA's rolling out so far, the time specified for our device is still "soon".

I have a penchant to explain things in long-winded posts, it's a failing, I know
Google clearly said it, "Screw you Nexus 4."
Plus Google is always following the same Apple model. Wtf would they keep Google Experience launcher and Transparency limited to NEXUS 5? See the picture. Nexus 7 running 4.4 OTA doesn't have GEL or transparency. SERIOUSLY GOOGLE?

for me 4.4 will be the 1st stock that will not use, GEL is one of the best features from 4.4(looks like from N5) so the 4.4 update will be just to get custom 4.4 roms less glitched / more optimized
Tomorrow is November 13. Didn't I hear there was a Google Search update coming on November 13th. Since GEL is pretty much powered by Google Search, I am guessing GEL can get on devices tomorrow. Just a guess. If it is true, I win a cookie.

That actually makes sense, maybe the reason google didn't put it in the factory images for other nexus devices is because they're going to roll it out through the play store, as the google search update

That's interesting, maybe it already is the 4.4.1 Update.
I miss JBQ.. The OTA is being pushed to those devices, yet there are no factory images for those devices.. Such a backwards rollout.. These things are supposed to go hand in hand.

Rumored update halfway real

Remember the rumor saying that there would be a Google Now and Camera update today? Well I was skeptical but it looks like the Google Now did get an update and its pretty spot on with the rumors. New cards and it talks back to you!
Sadly, no sign of this supposed camera fix just yet

Google + auto-updated on my Nexus 7 (2012) and Nexus 5 yesterday (it's a 27MB download - available via Play Store now) - it described photo enhancements, etc.
SU updated - running on the rooted Nexus 5 stock rom.
Now, KitKat rolling out OTA to Nexus 7 (WiFi model only - 2012 and 2013's) and Nexus 10's - yay, woo hooo !
Yes, Google Search has received an update.

How long will the 2012 Nexus 7 be supported?

How long do you think before Google drops support for it and we get no more updates?
Even if they do drop support for it that's what places like this are for. I'm still rocking a 5 year old phone. Granted it might not be as fancy as the newer models out there. With custom ROMs produced by the fine people of this site it's still up to date as far as what OS it can run.
i think probably soon. htc one X with tegra 3 has dropped support saying nividia did not provide the driver. I reckon for the next update, google will probably say the same thing. Just like how they stop updating galaxy nexus with the same reason
They want you to buy newer models so updates will stop on any device.

There will still be custom ROM's that you can flash and it'll be compatible for years to come.
I've no intention of getting another tablet for a while yet I may get a chrome book next but I primarily use my Nexus 7, best thing I ever bought.

Agreed....best thing I ever bought. Totally worth the money and when it comes to support.....I'm still using a 2011 HTC rezound running kit kat thanks to the developers on here. Our nexus 7 (2012) will get updates thanks to developers for quite a while still.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
As you know Kitkat is not compatible with Galaxy Nexus, a 2011 device...
I still think that new version of Android will be compatible with Nexus 2012 (I have one so I hope so too), but probably that was the last officialy version released for this device.
It could change if they sell a new Nexus 7 this year. If they do so... I think that they will drop Nexus 2012 support this year...
The official GNex was dropped not because of the device itself (KK runs fine on my gf's GNex), but because the SoC's manufacturer (Texas Instruments) closed its SoC division and so they stopped updating the drivers and Google wants updated drivers in every new releases.

As an owner of a previous Tegra device (g2x) I'm pretty aware of the vendor's level of support: None. Basically, once Google is done with it, nVidia will be done as well. So I wouldn't count on upgrades going on forever like we're used to with Qualcomm devices. Still, I'm getting one cheap as a backup for my N7 2013 LTE (which is in the process of getting a new screen leaving me tablet-less for now... ugh)...
Nexus devices usually get support for 18 months. So it will most likely kit kat is the last update for nexus 7 2012.
