We all know this .
We are used to being Beta software testers as of Lately..
Maybe i should just wait for 4.4.5 or 4.4.6 or 4.7.9
hummmm

LOL. Dude, it was posted a few hours ago. Its still kind of newsy.
So I just fastbooted the system, boot and userdata images on to my N7 and booted it up. Pretty much EVERY SINGLE GOOGLE APP needed to be updated. WTF? This image was posted a few hours ago and every single app is out of date?

What kernel does it have? Is it updated to 3.4? or still 3.1?

It certainly would! Maybe they'd finally fix that annoying recent apps bug, where the most recent app doesn't show up more often than not lol.

Does towelroot still work?

I didn't have that issue, thought I did get it by flashing the factory image from Skippen's toolkit.

My tablet downloaded the update just via the normal ota way but when I hit restart and install the update just disappeared and my tablet just said it was up to date all of a sudden. Very annoying!

Why do you need Towelroot for a Nexus 7? Just unlock your bootloader and sideload it. No need for an exploit.

I had this issue as well. So Tried installing the ota with twrp. Saw the problem was chrome.apk. I downloaded the full factory image. Extracted chrome.apk and saved it in the system partition
/system/app/
Tried flashing the ota with twrp again and worked this time.

4.4.4 for 16GB wifi out here in Sweden too, Nordic combined.

Mines working fine. No issues as far as I can tell. Battery seems to have taken a hit, then again might need a few cycles.
I didn't even get to see what was new in 4.4.3, lol! I needed to reset to factory due to insufficient space as my son downloads ever free game under the moon and was running Uber slow!
Just did 4.4.3, then 4.4.4 right away.

Up 444 here , but 1.8 MB ??????? UK Wales

you need stock recovery or disable signature verification in CWM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775746
Thanks, after a little digging, I was able to figure our how to disable signature verification in CWM & locate the update .zip file in the /cache folder. I copied the update file into my /sdcard/download folder then rebooted into recovery & flashed the update. All updated now.

Received it yesterday. Booted it one time. Turned debugging on, typed "adb reboot-bootloader" and unlocked the bootloader, flashed CWM. Booted into CWM and flashed AOKP.
My Nexus 4 was shipped with pre-production software.
I think I have to change something before I get the update as well, because I got the AOSP browser or something. I really hope there's nothing else in the way, since I've only rooted and unlocked the bootloader other than that.
Just sideloaded it, pretty cool process.
Just as predicted. December is back in the People app. Nothing else is different, as far as I can tell.
Edit: The Kernel still has the November 8th date stamp, that obviously hasn't been played around with.

The usb host function is not working at all. When you use a usb otg cable to connect something like a keyboard, mouse or android accessory it dose not power or recognize the device like it should. Its still unknown if this is a software or hardware problem.
Nothing here in my neck of the USA. Manual check said I was up to date.

No update here either, stock rooted with TWRP.
Flashing the update posted here gave me a build prop error in recovery and the install was aborted.
I'm too tired to mess with this now.

With CWM recovery you need to download the ota zip file for your N7 (wifi or 3g) which can be installed in CWM recovery. I know it can because that's what I did. Updating lost root and CWM recovery, but I used Wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit to get root and reinstall recovery. I actually installed TWRP recovery and flashed Chainfire's SuperSu 1.43 to complete the root process. Now I'm updated with TWRP recovery and root.
Got mine. Booted into TWRP bit updated. OTA Rootkeeper didn't work. Will need to re-root.

Grouper and Sky Go

This has got me totally demented. I need sky go to keep up with the footie when I'm away from home. I dunno what detection routines sky go uses but it sucks lol.
I've tried unrooting various ROMs using supersu to no avail.
So now I've installed multirom and slimkat 4.4, tried titanium complained about no root. Tried a few other apps with the same result, excellent.
Tried sky go, as usual it teases me, everything is looking good then the dreaded message "sky go is not supported on rooted android device"
So how the f**k can sky go detect it but nothing else can

the only way to get it working is to have it completely stock, any kernel/rom thats not stock will cause the error so if you have the superuser app its still rooted

I suspect they're doing something crazy like checksumming the system partition. That would explain also why even minor OS updates render it unusable for weeks (4.4 support? Dream on..), and it only works on a limited subset of phones.
I reckon it's possible to make one that works on most stuff but any attempt at decompiling/recompiling the APK breaks it as it also internally checks itself to make sure it's not been modified, and I haven't dug far enough to remove that check.

Sprint has announced on their website that starting 4/14/2014 Google will start rolling out Android version 4.4.3 to Nexus 5 devices. It can take up until 4/21/2014 for the roll out to complete and until 4/28/2014 to reach all devices. So within the next 2 weeks we should all be happily enjoying this update. This update includes the Spark update for Sprint and Misc. bug fixes.
Edit** So Sprint pulled down the original post because they said a bug was found by Google. Now we wait...........
