For the first time in a long time, Google announced a new version of Android, but didn't release it for Nexus devices right away. Those of you with a Nexus 4, Nexus 7 (old and new), and a Nexus 10 will have to wait a few weeks until Google pushes it out.

If you find yourself needing a Kit Kat fix right away, then look no further than Paranoid Android. They have posted early Android 4.4 ROMs for the Nexus 4, the 2012 WiFi Nexus 7, and the 2013 WiFi Nexus 7. These are based on the AOSP build, but again, this is an early build so expect some bugs.

This ROM seems to flash better with ClockworkMod and you will also need the latest Gapps package, which we have linked below. Enjoy!!

Robert lives in upstate New York where he was born and raised. Technology was always his passion. His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.
