Missing some of the stock apps though.. and QMemo was pretty handy to take photos of your friends and then draw on them, haha. | you need to install gapps from the recovery menu. Gapps - CyanogenMod |

I meant stock regional specific apps like DMB TV and dictionary applications. I installed GAPPS, but had to reinstall Maps and other Google stuff.. Weird.

GAPPS doesn't usually include Maps or Youtube or some of the other optional things like drive and keep. It's core components like the Play store.

Posted via RS Mobile | Other reported changes: [Disscussion] New stuffs for 4.3 - xda-developers
I flashed the deodexed version with new 0.84 radio.
Not too much different so far from just using it casually.
My People Details for Google sync keeps failing now though lol
The camera UI rotation and t9 dialer are the most obvious changes to me.

I tried upgrading to Ubuntu Touch as well. It feels really nice except I can't really access any of the items inside settings. Did you run into this issue? I can't click anything.

With 4.3, you can apparently still use the 0.27 or 0.33 radios to get LTE back. I haven't tested myself.
There are also "hybrid radios" that people on xda made that mix the old LTE ones with the new 0.84 radio.
There's a hybrid 0.84/0.27 and also a 0.84/0.33.
Haven't tried them either since I don't care about LTE on this phone, so YMMV.

/isaphonenoob | I did it for my mum on koodo. 300$, then cancelled it after I got home.
So 16gb = 359+tax+shipping on google. koodo = 300$+tax
Didn't get any prorated charges or anything according to rep; said I'll receive a bill for 0$ from koodo in a few weeks or something.

So... I'm on liquid smooth from aokp. Much better IMO. Nav ring works from lock screen. No lag when turning on my phone anymore. Only been a few days, but so good so far.

Just saw that the Nexus 4 is cheaper on the Playstore. $199 for the 8gb and $249 for the 16gb. Might be the due to the summer sale, so might not be permanent drop. Click the phone on the page to see the cheaper price if it is still showing the $309/$359 price.
