Although we’re not exactly sure when the official Android 4.4 KitKat update will be arriving for the Verizon LG G2, there is a way to get a near stock Android 4.4 build running on your LG G2 right now. A new custom ROM has appeared for the device, called Gummy ROM. The device is based off of an AOSP build of Android 4.4 with a few goodies and additions sprinkled in. Features include:
- Status Bar Mods
- Theme Manager
- Hardware Key Mod
- Lock Screen Mod
- Many Wallpapers
- Performance Control
- Application Permission Controls
- Carrier Label Options
- Background Style
- Lock clock widget
Looks pretty good, doesn’t it? If you want to go ahead and install the ROM on your LG G2, make sure the device is rooted and remember to do a full backup of your data. There’s nothing worse than losing all of your user data, trust me. ROM installation instructions follow below, as well as links to the needed files:
- Download ROM

- Reboot Recovery
