Kitkat 4.4.4 looking like Lollipop 5.0.2 - Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I recently downgraded from Lollipoo to Kitkat on my A3 2015 because Lollipop was laggy and it freezes. Now, I miss the interface of Lollipop (lock screeb with notification and others) how can I make my Kitkat look like Lollipop without updating my phone?

Unfortunately there is no way to get the the Lollipop Type notification without actually updating the phone. I advice you to update back to Lollipop.You can use third party launchers to get a lag free experience,eg Google Now launcher.I have a A5 and I am running a custom ROM and man it's Soo good.I suggest it to every one.HadesRom V2.1

No mate, A5 is different from A3. The lollipop in A3 is very laggy and always freezes, I even tried to change launcher but nothing changed. Now I am in kitkat, it is more smoother. All I want is the interface of Lollipop on my Kitkat.

How can i install stock keyboard of 4.4.2 to 5.0 ?

Hello to all,
First of all ,question .
The stock firmware of Samsung in 4.4.2 is a TouchWiz if i am not mistaken ?
If yes, let's go forward.
I have tried CyanogenMOD ,and some other ROMs,but i didn't like anything like the stock one. I just need the stock one without the bloat apps that has the company.
So i have find out with help the Google Play 5.0 ROM ,i really liked it,even though it's a bit different rather than the 4.4.2 but the 2 problems that i am having and if i can solve them i will keep the ROM is.
1. I want the keyboard of 4.4.2 into 5.0 . Why ? The reason is ,because first of all above the keyboard i had the numbers already installed, and the second reason is when you type in Greek "Good Morning" = Καλημέρα you need a tone in the letter έ WHICH it cannot be provided via 5.0 keyboard.
2.You don't have any program inside,which on 1 hand is good but on the other hand is a little bit tricky to find the "gapps" that you need like Maps.
3.The icons are PRETTY BIG on the start screen.
So any help ?
Thank you all.

What ROM Should I Get?

Hey guys,
A weird question yes, but I have no clue, been sat on 4.4.2 for the past 7 months now, feel like it is time to get lollipop, but I don't want to for one reason and that is that xposed apps (from what I have read) don't all work and I use a few of them. Is there a way to get xposed working correctly? (I haven't been around here in a while)
If this is the wrong forum, then can an Admin move it to the correct one please.
Thanks for all help

If you asked this question some 3 weeks earlier, the advice would have been "don't update", but:
1. rovo89 managed to bring his Xposed framework to AOSP Lollipop up to 5.0, there are unofficial variants that are adapted to work with 5.1+, as well.
2. On the TouchWiz side, Samsung made a s***load of changes in the ART runtime, and only recently two devs (arter97 and darkera13) managed to bring Xposed to TouchWiz Lollipop, using two different methods, but both have the necessity that a deodexed ROM is used.
3. Mind you, TW Lollipop is one ugly-a** motherf***er. Literally ugly as hell, even if it is the fastest TouchWiz to date.
So, if you feel like experimenting, give the development forum a look, but keep in mind: better flash through Odin a stock Lollipop in order to upgrade your bootloader and modem (without that, upon flashing a 5.0 TouchWiz ROM you'll get a bootloop; before Samsung updated us to Lollipop, we had a couple of experimental AOSP ROMs which worked flawlessly with the old bootloader and modem).
Also, if you plan to use Xposed with Lollipop, carefully read the threads of the Xposed apps you intend to use, some might not be updated yet to work with Lollipop.
That's my two cents.

Thanks for the reply, I finally got it now, AryaMod's version, seems nice for now, yeah it doesn't look the best but I am liking the speed a lot. Going to finish installing apps, backup then try and get xposed working. Any apps that are good for lollipop that make it different at all or?

When Wanam gets his module and all it's functionality updated properly, you'll be able to theme any TW ROM you flash properly and mod it like hell, but he barely begun work on it due to the fact that only recently Xposed was brought to TW Lollipop (Wanam is TW module exclusively).
My own setup is Project Artware by arter97 (you can google it and find it easily, but he still hasn't shown that project here on XDA) + his kernel, then only the GravityBox module to tweak the behavior of the volume rocker and the capacitive buttons to behave like the Note 4 (left capacitive button for recent apps instead of holding down the home button, I've always hated the stock implementation for the Note 3 ).
If you like that setup, with AryaMod you probably won't need GravityBox.

Note 3 (N9005) auto rotation does not work for any CFW

Dear Community,
I hope that this is the right place to post and any of you can help me.
My (aktual) Hardware/Software bits:
Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005)
Android: 5.1.1
Baseband-Version: N9005XXUGBOD3
Kernel-Version 3.4.108-f2fs-temasek-cm12.1-hlte-v1.25+
temaseksnappy #1
Temasek unofficial version V16.4
Build: LMY48J test-keys
Recovery: twrp 2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4
My actual problem is the following: My Note 3 by default had a 4.4.2 OFW on it, which I early upgraded to Lolipop 5.0.1. Everything works for the OFW 4.4.2 and 5.0.1 fine. As soon as I try to flash it with a CFW like CM11, CM12, CM12.1, CM12.1 (temaseksnappy), Gummy 4.4.4 I am losing the feature of auto rotation.
Of cource I did a clean flash, wiping DALVIK/CACHE/DATA and system, double time even one befor the flash, one after.
I also tried to put the battery, sim and sd out for few min before rebooting, while autorotation is manualy turned off.
Even a MODEM I flushed to fix this issue, but without success. Nothing helps but going back to OFW.
My last try was downgrading to the original 4.4.2, including baseband trieing from there to go to any CFW (CM11) as well as from OFW 4.4.2 -> OFW 5.0.1 -> CFW 5.1.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/hlte-spr-vzw-temaseks-unofficial-t2953375)
There was also a post about a possible missing or broken lib in /system/lib which I replaced
Nothing helps (libGNU... something). This helped me alreay once in OFW after kicking out all the junk apps, but this is a different storry and not related anyhow.
Is there anybody out there who has the same problem or even better knows a solution?
My shot would be that:
1) CM has a problem with my particular hard-/software (Kernel, Baseband, Recovery, whatever) as I just tied CM or at least CM based CFWs.
PLEASE HELP.
Thank you very much in advance.
After about almost a year I cam back, giving again a try to CM, However I still have the same issue. Finally Anybody please!
Do you have the same issue with touchwiz 5.1.1 and 6.0.1?. Not the cm/aosp roms which aren't samsung based.

Hello,
Thx for your reply. Right now I am on CM13 (temasek hlte v9.6)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/hlte-spr-vzw-temaseks-unofficial-t2953375
This might should be specially compiled for sm-n9005 like mine.
Everything expect rotation works fine. However The accelleration is also working fine as I tested with "sensor test". Even the integrated camera App is rotating, however the rest is not.
In addition I downloaded "adaptive rotationfree", If I set it "stock Auto" nothing happens, but if I set it to "force auto" the rotation will work exacly once and then stops undtil I force it to portrait again.
What do you mean exactly with "touchwiz"? Is this jus a different kernel or a whole CFW?
As I wrote in the frist post I tried already a lot of CFW and ALL had this issue, but the OFW ;(
What shell I flush to get this working, which is not OFW?
BIG THX for YOUR HELP
Touchwizz is the firmware that comes with the stock Samsung firmware .
Also in custom Samsung based roms .
Hello,
thx for the tip with TouchWiz vs aosp. At the moment I am running "DarkLord N5 Release Candidate 2.12" which can get find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-darklord-s6-port-alpha-t3083087
This Rom is TouchWiz Based and guess what ....
Autorotation works.
However I do not understand what the problem realy is and would prefer to run cm13 insteat. I mean even samsung devices got a accellerator within which works also fine with AOSP software, showing numbers moving while turning the phone. In addition for example on the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/hlte-spr-vzw-temaseks-unofficial-t2953375 it is said that this is explicite for note 3 including the model n9005. So ...
Can anybody point me to the problem or even better to the fix?
Is there any chance CM would fix this?
Regards

[HELP] Pls suggest me a rom for my requirement...

Hi...
I'm still lagging with KK stock rom (4.4.2) and the reason is as follows:
I don't want to lose any features that comes with Note 3 such as (Smart scroll, Motion glance and other smart features...) all lollipop roms miss these features :crying: so I always go back to the stock KK rom... But at the same time I'm very much interested with touchwiz theme store for lollipop. I have tried using the SecTheame but there is no option to download themes from store
Can anyone please suggest me a rom or workaround to get the TouchWiz theme store on KK rom or is there any KK / lollipop rom that has all Note 3 stock features with theme store option. Need you valuable suggestion for my requirement
Thanks in advance !!!

He is talking about an old version! There's a new version of Phronesis ! Air gesture doesn't work because in note5 there is not. Anyway if you want a rom , a note 5 port, is very difficult to find something fully functional.... it's true that you lose something but it is also true that you can find much more that did not have before ! Personally i am very satisfied with this rom but i can understand that everyone has their own needs Good Luck mate

you can not revert back to kitkat 4.4.4 without root and even the services center people will not do the same.
1. root your phone, install TWRP and flash the kitkat rom.
But do this at your own risk.

Hy.. Phone is not slow. Its just animation slow. Go to settings/about phone/ tap tan build number 8times. It will unlock developer options.
Then settings/ developer option (@ last) / turn offf window, transition animation scale, animation duration to 0. U can feel somewhat speedness
