Android 4.3, JellyBean Update Rolls Out for Nexus 7 LTE and LG G2
The Android 4.3, JellyBean update is now available for the Nexus 7 LTE and LG G2 in the form of a new ROM.
The CyanogenMod team announced the release of two new builds for the devices earlier this week.
Various users of LG's device have complained about the pre-installed software and will now have the opportunity to run a cleaner ROM with CM 10.2 which is based on a pure form of Android 4.3. The team also released this build for the Verizon G2, but pulled it back due to some unexpected issues. Another roll out should be coming soon.

The Nexus 7 LTE also has access to this CM 10.2 nightly build that brings a slew of improvements to the device such as Bluetooth LE support and OpenGL ES 3.0 support. Users should secure their correct Google Apps package before installing the ROM.
The Android 4.4, KitKat release date might have recently been hinted at by Google.
The company posted up an image on its KitKat Google+ and Facebook pages that showed the Bugdroid dancing. They also wrote the following comment with it which read "Everybody dance now! #AndroidKITKAT."
Android Community attempted to decipher the meaning behind the post and came up with something interesting regarding the software's release date. The company made a reference to a song released on Oct. 18 1990. The record is 4 minutes and 4 seconds long, which matches up to the 4.4 in the KitKat name.
The publication also concluded that Oct. 18 might be the actual date for its release considering all the consistencies within the post. Google has been known for dropping Easter Eggs such as this one in the past.
Other rumors point to Android 4.4, KitKat featuring a default SMS app.
Google advised SMS app developers to prepare their apps for the arrival of the software so users will be able to switch to the company's own "default SMS app."
