Try this - an awesome experience :
1) get an aosp ROM (I'm running Halogen Mod)
Go to Phandroid.com
2) install the 4.4 launcher, Google search and play services 4.0
3) get the new keyboard (much better than aosp keyboard)
4) get the new hangouts app
5) install deskclock
Profit

Rumours suggest S5 will probably be launched by then. I have a feeling 4.4 will be introduced by Samsung only with S5. Anyway the usual launch happens in April/May.

They wont leave s4 with just 4.3
That would be horribly stupid.
Even s3 had been launched with 4.0.4
But then ended up getting 4.1.1 then 4.1.2 and a leaked version of 4.2.2

i expect someone to mess around with AOSP and cook up a rom by tonight.. like the old days before GPE.. I'm surprise someone ain't do it with the SDK yet

Yes. It may be. But surety says Yes in Jan/Feb.
With no further ado, here is when Android 4.4 is coming to various devices:
HTC
HTC One (including carrier models) – Within 90 days
HTC One Google Play Edition – Within 15 days
Motorola (no timeframes yet)
DROID Ultra
DROID Maxx
DROID Mini
Moto X
Nexus Devices
Nexus 4 – “Coming weeks”
Nexus 7 – “Coming weeks”
Nexus 10 – “Coming weeks”
Samsung
Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition – “Coming weeks”
I've heard S4 GPe is based on Touchwiz. I wonder if their sources would be helpful in CM development?

If I recall, the Google Play edition S4 is virtually identical hardware to the S4 i9505 international isn't it? (?)
Could this mean a ported ROM for the non play edition ... well fairly quickly?
I'd miss several Samsung features :/

Hmmmm... nope GPe based on AOSP
knowing Samsung, there's just no way the non-GE S4 will receive kit kat before the S5 releases

Hello!
Yesterday I've sent a message to Samsung about 4.4 update.
Here come the great news! Galaxy Core LTE (I dont know wtf the LTE means) will get KitKat update in april 2014.
So, they care about our powerful Core!
Sent from my GT-I8260 using Tapatalk
ours is not LTE ang also galaxy core LTE is based from 4.2.2 framework
Core LTE has a bit different hardware so I don't think it means that our Core will get KitKat aswell. Besides Core LTE will be available later this year

Samsung only confirm some handset to receive this April including the GalaxyS3, GalaxyNote2. Samsung doesn't confirm the Kitkat update for our GalaxyCore.

i think that we should gather some signatures of protest to send them to Samsung....the phone is new and they should consider updating it...at least we have to try protesting at Samsung....

yes, i do also think that slimrom is perfect...it has absolute no bug on my galaxy Note, and the functionality has been raisen to 200%.
I always say, if samsung stock had the quality that the slimrom has, then we'll not see any other handys Slimrom has exact the things that samsung dont has.

The majority of the Note 5's software is built with API 22, and will not be able to be ported to the Note 3 until we have an official 5.1 release.
