Get the S4, the software on the LG is gonna be horrid, and the updates are gonna take forever. The only good thing about this phone is that it's likely to be the core of the next nexus.

As long as cyanogenmod makes it I won't care, that's all I run usually on my S2, S3, MyTouch 4g, Vibrant, all had CM variations.
Asus to manufacture Nexus 10 refresh [Updated with image]
Nexus 10 was manufactured by Samsung, and offered an impressive display at an incredibly reasonable price. Much like the Nexus 7 refresh, the next iteration of the Nexus 10 will bear the same name as its predecessor, only this year it will be manufactured by Asus.
As the company responsible for both the original Nexus 7 and this year’s refresh, it’s clear that Asus and Google have a good relationship right now. The 2013 Nexus 7 demonstrated that Asus is more than capable of keeping up with the speed of Android by creating hardware that allows Google to keep close to their price points from last year.
The original Nexus 10
The Nexus 10 wasn’t nearly as popular as the Nexus 7 last year, but in the past 12 months both the Android OS and its apps have grown to better support larger screens and higher resolutions. Combined with the improved multi-user functions that were announced withAndroid 4.3, it’s easy to see Google promoting the Nexus 10 as a family tablet.
According to multiple sources reporting to Geek.com, the Nexus 10 refresh is expected to be available on the Google Play Store as well as Best Buy retail stores in time for the holiday season. It’s unclear exactly what hardware improvements we’ll see in this new Nexus 10 over the previous generation, but given Asus and Google’s recent work with Qualcomm it’s not hard to guess that we’ll see a Snapdragon chipset powering an impressive 2560×1600 display.
Update: And here is the retail leak. It clearly notes that this will be a Google Nexus 10 16G WiFi manufactured by Asus. The product dimensions, stock date, and other information seems to be filled with placeholders.

Light Flow Updated With New Features for Android 4.3
Light Flow, one of the most powerful notification light tools on Android, received an update this morning to introduce new features that work with Android 4.3. In the update, LF allows you to swipe away notifications, remotely clear notifications by reading them on other devices, and “handle” restricted profiles for tablet users.
Outside of the 4.3 stuff, support for Gmail folders, incoming calls, and the new Skype app were added. HTC One root users should have a better experience, plus the app now has the power to exclude notifications from sleep mode. The LF team also added support for an additional 72 apps.
