Google may not have started rolling out its new Android 4.4 KitKat update to the Nexus 4 yet, but it has already released the factory image, allowing those who don’t mind flashing ROMs themselves to perform the update manually.

Google Search for Android received a nice new update this week, which adds a whole bunch of new Google Now cards and features that’ll help you keep up with your favorite websites, get movie and TV recommendations, and find interesting articles from around the web.

Google started rolling out Android 4.4 KitKat to the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 today, and it quickly became apparent that the rumors claiming the “Google Experience Launcher” would be exclusive to the Nexus 5 were true.

Although older Nexus devices have received some user interface improvements, the big changes — transparent status and navigation bars, larger app icons, Google Now on the home screen — are only available on the Nexus 5 for the time being. At least officially.

But there is a way to install it unofficially.

If you have a newer Nexus device, or the Google Edition Galaxy S4 or HTC One, then you won’t have to wait too long for the Android 4.4 KitKat update. But it’s safe to say everyone else is in for a lengthy wait. If you’re already feeling impatient and you want a bite of that KitKat early, then you may be interested to hear you can download and install the new launcher now.

Google may not be bringing Android 4.4 KitKat to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, but it’s still supporting newer Nexus devices. So you’re probably wondering when the update will be coming to your Nexus 4, Nexus 7, or Nexus 10. Well, Google hasn’t given us a specific release date yet, but it has said “soon.”

The Google Play editions of the Galaxy S4 and the HTC One are on its list, too.
