Android 4.4.4 OTA about to start rolling out for Nexus Devices.

It's just a security bug fix.

I wonder should that be in a new thread?

Factory Images already available.


Android 4.4.4 KTU84P OTA Update for Nexus 5, Nexus 10, and Nexus 4 download available


With the intend use of ART in android 5.0, will KitKat be the last android version for the Nexus 7 (2012) as it currently can not be turned on in that device?

It better fcuking not be the last version of android for the 2012 N7 :pac:

I'd assume that it'd be dual runtime just like KK, but with ART the default, rather than Dalvik!

If it is I'm sure CM will continue to support the '12 for a few more years. That's more or less stock Android with a few nice features thrown in to boot. My N4 is CM because of the profile switching according to WI-FI but never saw any need to have anything but stock on my N7. If Google cuts the support then obviously I'd move to CM on the N7 as well.

Absolutely, I used to really like CM, had it on all my androids until I got the N7 2012, then saw no need to move from stock. Then I got the N4 before moving onto the N5, so it's around 2 years since I've used it now :eek:

I've no problem moving the N7 over to CM and it's been 2 full years of support for that tablet from google, so I guess I can't really complain

Found a handy guide to using the Nexus Root Toolkit to flash the factory images. with out wiping.

Handy for anyone who doesn't want to work with command lines.

This is the way to update if the normal OTA method fails for some reason. (usually because of been rooted with stickmount installed)
