A version of RileyRom (1.7) has been released over on Freaktab.com which brings Android 4.4.2 KitKat to the 9.7" retina tablet.
Having installed it this morning, I can recommend, but for the following caveats:
- GPS is not working
- The ROM seems to expect a 3G version of the device (mine is wifi-only) but it works fine.
Pro tip: Get ART enabled on that tablet as soon as you can.
Instructions for enabling ART:
- Go to device Settings
- Developer options
- Select Runtime
- Change from "Use Dalvik" to "Use ART".
Benefits of ART:
- Smoother
- Better battery life
Downsides of ART:
- Cannot use Xposed framework
- Apps take a little longer to install
- Apps take a little more room on the storage
See original thread for the download information:
Or want the ROM mirrored? I'm sharing the file using BTSync with the folder secret:

Great, KitKat's performance is much better compared to Jelly bean on my Nexus
