Root Android 4.3 Leaked

Android 4.3 was leaked for the Nexus 4 earlier this morning by a user that purchased a 4.3-powered N4 from a Google employee. With an official announcement possibly due as soon as next week, are you getting excited about Android 4.3?

Early reports say the 4.3 update has better touch sensitivity:
Hands-on with Android 4.3 on the Nexus 4 - YouTube

I might have to give this a try tonight. I hope Android 4.3 finally fixed the wifi notification delay.

EDIT: Apparently the 4.3 dump doesn't include the new kernel or radio. That's supposed to be up tomorrow. I'll wait until then.

Well, that's depressing :(

Still having issues with MMS on WiFi. Taking 20-30 min to send/receive...

If anyone tries it out, I had to wipe data to get rid of Dialer FC.

I've not ran into any MMS issues myself. I'm running a rooted Android 4.3 and it definitely has a nice speed boost over 4.2. It's also important to remember that there's no guarantee this is the final build that will be released in the next couple weeks.

I was on .83 radio last night.... Like said above though, there's always hope for the official version.... or have good reason to jump ship to Moto X/Nexus 5 :D

Moto X has a better camera than the N4, but a slower processor. It's being promoted as a mid range device and Google is hoping it puts Motorola back on the map. They're targeting the masses with the Moto X, not just the enthusiasts.

On a side note i'm loving Android 4.3. Even on this leaked build it seems a lot more stable than 4.2. Android 4.2 had a bunch of little bugs and just drove me crazy sometimes. The touch screen is more responsive, the colors are improved, the OS is snappier. 4.3 may only be a minor update, but it's a very welcomed one on the Nexus 4. Has anyone else been playing around with it?
