Yesterday, Samsung USA unveiled a list of US devices that will receive the Android 4.4 KitKat. The company has now posted the kernel source for Sprint's Galaxy Note 3 on its open source page and the OTA update could arrive soon by tomorrow.

The kernel source which is sized at 892 MB should be of a great help to developers who want to create custom ROMs. It will help them create a more stable custom ROM based on the latest version of Android.

Samsung released the OTA for Sprint's Galaxy S4 right after it released its kernel source so it's a good sign that we will see the OTA for Sprint's Galaxy Note 3 soon. Meanwhile, stay tuned for the latest update.
