Lollipop ROM for those on 4.4.4

For anyone on 4.4.4
There's this lollipop rom from the international section that looks amazing
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-5-0-lollipop-tmt-1-0-t2982363
Someone with our N900A variant said you have to be on 4.4.4 to get the rom to work. I would like to know if the rom will work and I haven't updated to 4.4.4 yet. I'm debating on weather I should update or not. Can someone try it out and report back with info?
Thanks!

I tried. It is AROMA installer. Can't load. Asked developer if he could make a non aroma based version.

There's a way to unaroma a rom. I've done it on the Tmo Hyperdrive rom. Try searching it up.

Have you got the lollipop rom working?

@chamelio
I just tried it and it did not work for me... maybe it was just some thing I missed while getting rid of the aroma. I got to the point where it showed the GN3 boot screen with the unlocked padlock but it never went any further, just kept rebooting. Ill try again tomorrow

Thanks

I think we will have to have a kernel and maybe also bootloader to handle the new file system they or not normal apk, they or unpacked folders with related apk and arm folders

I also was able to remove aroma and try to flash this rom with the NC2 kernel as well as the NJ5 kernel. With the NC2 kernel i reach a blank screen and with NJ5 i reach the samsung galaxy note 3 custom screen before it reboots into device recovery. This rom does use a different kernel that we cant flash thanks to a locked bootloader, so in my opinion at this point in time i dont think its possible for our devices to run this rom. We probably won't have lollipop until there is a workaround for the bootloader or we get an official OTA so we then have the proper kernel to run lollipop.

KitKat on Samsung Galaxy Light (T-Mobile Version)

So I've been getting kind of angry that T-Mobile hasn't updated the phone to KitKat and I tried something on my own. Flashing the MetroPCS KitKat software version on my device via Odin. Guess what? It worked. The only thing was that after it updated all the apps, it installed some MetroPCS bloatware. I don't mind that but this is awesome that I was actually able to install the SGH-T399N software on the SGH-T399. Try it for yourself and let me know how it went for you.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that would brick my phone since that's for the SGH-T399N. I have the SGH-T399. Oh and BTW I know they are both pretty much the same, but if I were to flash that, it would probably screw up.

I bet you can port KK to this if you have a stock rom and metro's stock rom with Kitchen.
I have a stock rom zip here:https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347774930
there's a metro KK stock rom zip you can google it.
I think there's a storage mount file you need for kitchen, I wrote one if you need it just ask (i have it in my linux partition, which I'm not on now).
Oh and always have a backup.

Hey man do you know if I will be able to flash to MetroPCS rom and then root it while its on the ROM? I really want to buy this phone. Also is this phone worth $75 because this how much someone is selling it to me almost new. Metro PCS doesn't have it anymore :crying:

If you don't see enough development for this phone now and don't want to wait, then don't buy it. Don't flash something not made for your phone unless you have a backup.
Other than that the phone has a well balanced spec sheet for the price.

Latest firmware rootable?

I have been out of the loop for at least a year running my s5 on a custom stable rom on KitKat. My charging port is starting to act up and thinking about getting a replacement from square insurance. But do t want it if I can't get the tether hack. Also I might ask if they will upgrade me to a s6

If you have OD5 or earlier as your OTA update, you can still downgrade and root. If you have OE1 or later as your OTA, you are stuck and cannot downgrade for root.

Is anyone even trying to root OE1??

because it's been done a thousand times. No one has openly admitted to trying to crack it, no matter how many people insist they are doing it. It's not happening.

Someone needs to try to root the dam thing.

Dr.Ketan Port for Note 4 (Marshmallow)

So Dr.Ketan's S7 Edge port works on note 4 according to some youtubers and some commenters using the fixes present. It can be seen here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lrPz-PXGFQ
But one problem that isn't stated in the video, but everyone in the comments has a problem with is SMS. Is there any way to fix SMS? How do people using other Dr.Ketan roms on Sprint phones get the SMS to work?

I've already created a thread for such a ROM before stating all the required instructions.
Needless to say, SMS fix is also available by @ricohz.
Here's the link to my thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/development/steps-to-install-dr-ketans-rom-g-t3379659
This thread seems pointless & might confuse the readers.
Would request you to take it down.
Thanks!

Yours works for marshmallow too?
The ROMs that require you to flash from Lollipop to Marshmallow don't really work for me and are not what I want. I just want a ROM that goes from marshmallow to marshmallow like in the video in the first post, the only problem with that ROM is the SMS not working which is what I'm here for. Ironically, you say my post is confusing but it seems like yours is also. You state in the first couple lines that it's for people "who are using Sprint's Note 4 (N910P) outside of US and are stuck with Sprint's ROM" which I'm not apart of, but you told me to still use it. That does not make sense... Also "For instance, I'm using the unlocked variant of N910P with a GSM carrier, so I was having problem in connecting to the Hot-Spot feature as all of my devices were stuck at "Obtaining IP Address" loop and eventually would never connect." is a WHOLE different problem that I'm having so please clarify this before you tell me that my post is irrelevant just because you made one first.
Edit: Also that data fix does not work for SMS, even people in the thread are saying that, is there another one that I'm not seeing?

I tried the Sprint M3 and M4 got bootloop. No success with the Dr Ketan M3 or M4 data fix either. I also tried nameless fix and the T-mo fix. None of them boot, if it boot, it gave sim error. The only one that work is the Verizon V2. It worked with M3, M4 and M5. I don't have an answer for you as to why on that one work for me but it does.

But you can just flash super su

I posted a fix for MO on the other tread if you want to give it a try hit me up and I'll show you the way

Installed KINGROM, now my vr headset won't install or even recognize.

I have two s7 edges, one stock rom which works fine and this one - which was stock rom until last night. I rooted and installed KINGROM and everything is lovely, all except now my gear vr won't recognize when it's attached.
I wanted to post in the kingrom forum, but I don't have enough posts to do so, so I have to ask here.
Does anyone know why the headset isn't triggering the install? I can confirm it worked when on stock rom, and the KINGROM page claims that the vr is fully supported.
Australian stock, Optus carrier.
Many thanks

You should have this posted in the international s7e section not AT&T. We don't have root, custom recovery, or custom roms yet. You would probably get a response and possibly a solution if you posted in the right section.
