I was litterally opening this thread to see if there was any word on OTA and up popped the notification "System update downloaded"! See you on the other side

Its not available for mine as yet.

My Nexus is rooted, would that make a difference?

My nexus is rooted and I still got the update yesterday so it shouldn't make a difference.

Got my update Friday, manually checked for an update.... None available. Then cleared Google framework and rechecked boom 4.3 feels nice and snappy! Still puts my S4 to shame on everyday use, love this phone.

Got the update last night. Seems faster/smoother for most activities.

Only drawback is that the Google-Talk app is removed and replaced with the dreadful Hangouts app. I knew it was coming, but it's still disappointing that the older version is gone for good.

I still haven't got it for some reason, on either my Galaxy Nexus or Nex 10

Got it on my Galaxy Nexus yesterday afternoon and on the Nexus 7 last night but I haven't noticed any difference on either of them.

My GN is getting quite laggy lately, especially when using Chrome. I have seen that it significantly improves performance if you turn off sync on chrome, but I like the features this gives so I guess it's part and parcel. Looking forward to upgrading to the next Nexus phone when it comes out though, hopefully it'll be priced similarly to the N4. Still happy with my GN though, although will be happy to get a better screen resolution when I do upgrade. Nice backup to have though just in case.

Do you find a massive delay when opening links from the Facebook app in Chrome browser?

I'd say from the time I click the link to a page (text and static images) loading takes about 15 seconds on 100 meg broadband!

Not a facebook user, sorry!

Got my update a couple of hours ago. Definitely seems to be a bit smoother and quicker. Other than that not much other difference noticeable in terms of everyday use

Can anyone confirm if they can use Auto Awesome in the google photos app? i cant seem to use the movie feature to make an Auto-Awesome of my clips.

I just downloaded and installed the Google Experience Launcher from the Nexus 5 with full "OK Google" integration and it works flawlessly!

Just make sure your google search app is up to date and download and install the launcher here install and job done.

The Gnex is still my backup phone but its flawless changing from my Nexus 5 to the Gnex, feels like im losing little or no features now.

Is GEL any use? Was going to try it on N10, current stock launcher would be very similar to what was on the GN.
Does it show up as a regular app I can uninstall if I don't like it?

Yeah its just like any other app it can be uninstalled or even just swap back to the original in a few sec. I use it on my N5 all the time and found myself missing it on the nexus when i swapped over. I fined it useful, it does change your icons slightly too.
