The Windows Phone 8.1 GDR2 for developer preview devices is expected soon enough and even a leak couple of days ago states Lumia Denim availability somewhere in the upcoming 2 weeks.  The Internet has a lot to show up with and this is what was found on one of the sites, LUMIA EMERALD firmware!
As history goes, (A)mber , (Black) , (C)yan and now (D)enim and this order could put E for EMERALD in the list for the next firmware update.
How true could be this rumor and pictures? Remember the Lumia Debian Red leak we had just before Denim was announced? It could be one of those hoax but cant trust the internet, as we all know, never trust everything on the internet.
Screen shots have also shown up in Vietnam and China over the last 24 hours.
The devices that seem to have these updates are just restricted to Lumia 830, is anyone curious ? Anyone from Vietnam or China here to confirm this?

Latest update of Extras+Info shows false Denim firmware sightings

Microsoft this morning pushed out an update for the Extras + Info system app found on Nokia Lumia smartphones. The Extras + Info area is where users can find out what firmware version they are currently on, like Lumia Black, Lumia Cyan, or Lumia Denim.

Today's update arrives without a changelog; however it is safe to surmise that it is laying the groundwork for the forthcoming Lumia Denim update for those still on Cyan. In fact, many people have tipped us after updating to tell they now have the Lumia Denim update.

This claim of having Lumia Denim though is false.
Evidently, the Extras + Info update for some users is causing the app to reveal temporarily the firmware as Lumia Denim. Going back into the app afterwards though resets it back to Lumia Cyan.

Indeed, over-the-air firmware updates are obviously much more significant than just updating an app in the Store. Moreover, firmware updates typically start at 1 PM Eastern Time and not early in the morning. Having said that, this is a good sign that Microsoft is getting ready to being pushing out the firmware, as updating Extras + Info is needed properly to reflect any changes in a firmware update. This example is analogous to the odd Network+ update last week, which was needed for today's Truecaller app update to expose API access to the Windows Phone dialer for real-time Caller ID.

Regardless, take today's update for Extras + Info, but do not assume you just received a firmware update. Windows Central will keep you posted when Lumia Denim does officially begin.

Truecaller gets updated with Caller ID feature

Truecaller has announced a new version of their app, specially for Windows Phone 8.1 Lumia handsets.

As we wrote a few days ago, the app for the first time brings live Caller ID functionality to the Windows Phone 8 platform. Now, when Truecaller users are using a 3G or WiFi connection, live Caller ID will identify numbers from all over the world, even if it is beyond what is written in the user’s contact books.

The feature was developer in cooperation with Microsoft and the company commented:

We are very happy to be able to support Truecaller in bringing this great functionality globally to Windows Phone for the first time. Our partnership goes back several years and we have seen that Truecaller is a very dedicated company focused on delivering a great service for its users,” says Mikael Stendahl, Head of Partner & Developer Relations at Microsoft.

Windows Phone Lumia users who update the Truecaller app to the new 4.2 version by October 30 will also get 30 days of free Premium access.

Please note that it does require Windows Phone 8.1 to work, and it may be just for Lumia devices as it also needs the Network+ update.

Truecaller's live incoming Caller ID allows you 'live caller identification' and brings a fully functional and global caller ID to identify numbers not already in your windows phone book. Truecaller Caller ID was already available on Android and iOS but Windows phone user were kept at bay from it due to limited API, but with the evolution of Windows phone 8.1 it has now become reality.

It is available with Truecaller 4.1.10 beta release. This version is available only for WP 8.1.

Caller ID is available only for Nokia WP 8.1 with Lumia Cyan or higher update. After installing the application it is recommended to update “network+” system application. In order to do that open Truecaller -> settings -> caller id -> Update network+ application.

It's a private beta of Truecaller and these features will be added later in public version of Truecaller.
