Well the galaxy s3 did get it, but the thing about the s3 is that it still sells this phone doesn't, and this phone while better than the s3 doesn't have the sales to back up the necessity. Best thing to do: is to do a cm11, use an lg theme and port the lg launcher. And it will be lighter in weight and faster
My E971 is currently running 4.4 . Took me a few tries to get it and I'm still getting "Baseband Unknown" in the status page, but everything works great (so far) except my call recorder no longer works. I keep getting errors that the phone's hardware does not support the recording but it worked flawlessly on the stock OS so it's obviously not the hardware......
(Side note, if anyone knows where to get the radio file to flash so I can fix that baseband issue, please let me know)
My only advice comes from the issues I just went though. I tried KitKat a few times and each time something else didn't work........this last time I backed up my personal info manually, wiped the memory clean (i literally just highlighted everything and hit delete, and let the OS replace folders it needed). Did a factory reset on the Stock OS and did my recovery mode backup at that point so I had a smaller recovery file that could set it back to stock. THEN I flashed the rom, gapps, SuperSU (do this in recovery, as it didn't seem to reinstall traditionally) and then the Canadian NFC fix......
There's the real answer. YES it will get KitKat 4.4.2 from LG soon afaik. It be crazy if LG didn't update it! Korea already has the firmware upgrade. LG will release it worldwide in a few weeks... still on 4.1.2 here... come on LG!
