Micromax is continuously loosing trust of the old users due to this update issue because even the other Indian Smartphone makers like Xolo and Karbonn has started providing KitKat updates.
As the May has just started there is only one month left for the quarter 2 to end, so we can assume that Micromax can announce KitKat till the end of this month.
Now the recent leak confirms that The Indian Manufacturer Micromax was found Testing Android 4.4.2 KikKat in its Canvas 4 A210 Smartphone.
On 7th of Aprol 2014 Micromax has uploaded official KitKat 4.4.2 for the Micromax Canvas 4 on the Moulnisky.com which is under this path :

Step 2 :-On the next screen you will get Virtual Box Main Screen, Click on “New” Blue colored button from the top left side on the screen.
Step 3 :– On the first screen, you will be asked pick a name for your system and to choose what type of operating system it will run. Pick whatever you want for a name, and choose Linux from the type dropdown menu and Debian (64 bit) from the version list.
Setting up Steam OS in Virtual Box
Step 4 :– On the next screen you’ll choose how much of your system memory the virtual computer will use while running. Choose less than half of your total system memory—one or two gigabytes should be fine.
Step 5 :- Next you’ll be asked about a hard drive. Choose to create one now, and then on the next screen, leave the first option (VDI) selected, and click Next.
Step 6 :- On the next screen, leave the Dynamically Allocated box checked and hit Next again. Finally, you’ll be asked to pick a size for your virtual machine’s hard drive. Note that you won’t actually be giving up all this hard drive space right away—the dynamic allocation option you selected earlier means that virtual hard drive space is only created as you actually use it. The amount you specify here is just the maximum amount the virtual machine will ever be allowed to use. So go ahead and pick a fairly large value, such as 40 or 50GB. (it may be less depending on your system hd space)
Step 7 :-With that, your virtual SteamOS machine is created—you can see it in the column on the left side of VirtualBox, Now Select it and click on “Start” Button to Start it.

Google has just released an update for its Stock Camera App which comes pre installed in Nexus and Google Play Edition Devices, with this update Google has also made it available for another devices on through Google Play Store.
Currently Play Store Version of this app only supports Android 4.4 KitKat Devices but if you are a Jelly Bean user then you can also install its Modded version from here :- Google Camera App Port for Jelly Bean Devices
The new version of Google Camera has included various new features like refreshed UI but one of the most awaited and awesome feature of that is Lens Blur which was commonly Found in Nokia Lumia Camera Apps.

Features :-

Lens Blur

Google Lens Blur VS Nokia Refocus :-
Let’s see which Platform Performs Better while manipulating the focus.
We tested Lens Blur on Moto G and Moto X and Refocus on Nokia Luma 920 and here are the results :-
Google Lens Blur Vs Nokia Refocus
Here Google Camera App scores well only because we manually focused on the subject. Without that, it’s tough to get a clear picture with multiple subjects.
Google Lens Blur and Nokia Refocus
Here Once again, the projector looks sharper in Lens Blur because we can vary the intensity of the blur.
Google’s Lens Blur has one neat feature that’s missing from the Nokia’s Refocus app and that’s the ability to play around with the blur intensity for the background or foreground. The images shot with Google’s Lens Blur looks a lot more striking due to this fact. However, in terms of the number of focus points that are available to play with, Nokia’s Refocus app does a much better job here. Google’s Lens Blur is unable to get the full scene in focus accurately, due to which only some areas are sharp while others remain blurry despite shifting focus to them in post.
In the end, both apps perform pretty well although we feel Nokia has a slight edge when it comes to the capturing multiple focus points. It’s nice to see Google learning a thing or two from Nokia and hopefully they can add more functionality to this first effort.
While, Lens Blur is the most exciting feature of this update to Android’s stock Camera app, the refreshed UI and enhancements to Panaroma and Photosphere shots are great as well. Check out the official Announcement by Google below:
Today we’re launching Google Camera, a new app for your Android phone or tablet that makes it easy to take quick photos and videos. And being behind the lens just got more fun with new creative picture modes.
Sleek Design: The 100% viewfinder gets out of your way while capturing the maximum resolution of the scene (no dropped pixels). And the extra large capture button is easy to press so your eyes never lose sight of the subject.
Lens Blur: Emphasize the subject while blurring the background for an SLR-like shot with shallow depth-of-field (or bokeh). You can even change the subject in focus after taking the shot.
Improved Panorama: New higher resolution panoramas capture the full width and detail of a scene.
Photo Sphere: Immersive 360 degree photo spheres let you look up, down and all around…now at up to 50 megapixels! For the first time available on non-Nexus devices.
