Darn it! Thanks for the update!

I fully expected 4.1.2 to be the end of the road for the D4.

I'm bummed. The D4 is a work horse for me & I planned on keeping it until it is non functional. Got mine on launch day back in Feb 2012. Hopefully we see a D5.....

I kinda wish the D4 got up to 4.3, as there are at least two new apps that require it - including the app for Internet/OTA TV service Aereo. Or even to 4.2 for the enhanced lock screen. But it is what it is...

Aereo's "public Android beta test" requires 4.2. But, still...

Probably the same issues as the Galaxy Nexus - TI OMAP support is basically gone.

Plus internal resources are either not there or working on updating the Moto X and the 2013 DROIDs (or working on the Moto G).

I just took a look at XDA, and it appears they have ROMs through JB 4.3 up there. Will the TI OMAP even support non-official 4.4 ROMs?

Yes. But it wouldn't be as good as if TI was involved with the update.
