First: What is "buggy" for you? Without this information we can't give you a proper answer ... therefore which modell? I9500, i9505 or i9515??

Official firmware is generally the most stable.
The GPE roms are also very stable and don't have bugs. For me atleast.

Oh I forgot... 9505 ... im reffering as a buggy or a glitchy rom , the ones who are laggy have problems with wifi camera or calling... u know the usual... do we know the release date of the official lollipop rom?

Official Lollipop for the I9505 is already available and currently being rolled out, you can look up for the firmware in sammobile and samsung-updates websites.

Newer Version than MK9?

Hi guys,
I have an unlocked i9500. I'm a bit lost with all the versions. Is there a newer/update for a phone that has I9500DDUEMK9 Stock?
I prefer to update my i9500 with India Firmwares. So if there anything newer stock for my i9500? I got a bit lost in the changelogs.
Thanks.
I see these being newer-
I9500XXUENA2
I9500UBUEMK2
??
Is this true, how these compare with the one that i have? Are they on english? Not as much as bloatware??
Mk9 is the latest... Next will be KITKAT update... It will roll out very soon...

[Q] To Kitkat or Not to Kitkat

Hi Guys,
I have spent quite a bit of time reading about the officially released KK roms for the Note 3 and really just wanted to know if i was to flash, say, the Polish rom to my device through Odin, would i be able to flash the official UK release when it finally gets released? Are there any downsides to flashing a non UK based rom in this way? My phone was bought from Phones4u in the UK but i believe it to be Sim free phone, IE no Vodafone Bloat.
Whats the general thoughts, wait for the official UK rom or go for some Kitkat goodness?
Thanks guys

Ok, so:
Firstly you need to check if your phone is SM N9005 or SM N9000. If it is, good. Than it is international version of the Note 3.
You can go to sammobile.com and look for FIRMWARES not ROMs that are 4.4.2. First you have to download those stock firmwares and flash via odin (if it ends with .tar.md5) or simply via recovery if it is .zip.
You don't have to worry about the country you download (I think there is UK too) because it makes absolutely no difference.
When done with that, you can look for ROMs to flash or you can use the phone as stock.
YOU CANNOT FLASH KITKAT ROMS IF YOU DON'T HAVE STOCK KITKAT FIRMWARE !!
ONCE YOU GET ANDROID KITKAT, THERE'S NO TURNING BACK TO JB.
So, I hope you understand me. If you don't, feel free to ask

Thanks very much for the reply, its been very helpful. If i was to update to one of the international version, say polish, when the UK version comes out would that be a OTA update for me or would just not see there was an update available?
Thanks again.

Not an OTA update no, you'd get Polish OTA's -- however, soon as UK BTU version is out, grab the ROM from Sammobile or here and flash it and you'll get UK updates (not a great deal different in most EU ROMS - CSC's are multi etc

And if I flash the Polish Rom am I pretty much guaranteed not to trip Knox? My warranty is important to me.
Official ROMs won't trip Knox no.

Many thanks again. Very helpful.
No problem. Don't use Odin 3.09 - use 3.04/3.07 or 1.85

One last thing, if you do try to flash a JB rom through ODIN after going to KK you will trigger Knox warranty void...
You are trying to flash a bootloader the Note 3 no longer looks at as Stock so you will trigger Knox. This has been reported by a few people....
UPGRADE to KitKat, it is better than JB. Cheers!

Hey sorry for the late. There will be OTA updates, everything will work just fine. That's why it's callled STOCK ROM. Everything is made by Samsung. ROMs are custom, other developers make those.

Sorry, I didn't understand you at the first answer... If the update comes, it will probably be available in USA, and then in GB and EU etc... So you can visit that site sammobile.com again and seek the new firmwares. It is the same (I'm from Serbia and I use polish as it came out first). Good luck! ☺

No it is not possible, they use different bootloader and modems. But there are 5.0 custom roms that will work (alliance Rom when released) , if you want a 5.0 factory Rom you will have to wait until it is released to our w8 model.

I don't use any cm style roms so I can't say, tw is what I like, judging from how many people switch back to 4.4.2 after trying 5.0, I am going to wait for alliance Rom to customize 5.0 so that I have a good chance of staying with it. If you haven't tried alliance 5.6 yet, I would give it a try till 5.0 is released, it is a great Rom with a huge amount of customizations.

[Q] downgrade to 4.4.2

recently I upgraded to lollipop 5.0 using odin and Russia firmware. But the RAM usage has gone nuts. Performance is not as smooth as before. I want to downgrade to 4.4.2 kitkat... How can I do that? Which firmware should I use?
Just install kk thru odin...

Click on my signature and follow the instructions, just substitute the correct version of KitKat for your device. You find the right KK OS at sammobile the links for everything are in my instructions. The procedure is the same just the KK OS is different. Enjoy !!!
does the firmware of different country make any difference???
Well it sure does

It could impact few bugs show or not, for example i flashed official UK version even if my country is far from there because kit kat was kinda most stable as UK version when i wanted to upgrade from 4.3. As far as lolipop is concerned it should use less ram than KK. You should give a try to some custom rom as you can find it even more stable than the official one. I personaly used X note as a official rom without triping knox. After i tripped knox i cant settle with 1 rom for about a year i think...
Isn't L more efficient?
I honestly thought that Lollipop was supposed to be more efficient.
Why would it be taking more RAM?
On that note, will anyone recommend a better aftermarket ROM with S-pen capabilities in 2015 for 900W8 version at least?
