Well , those are stock android 4.4 kitkat .
We still don't know what the update will bring .
I suppose we wait to February end and see what it brings .
My best guess is that sammy will deliver the update , and the only thing that will change will be the android itself since , well , The new TW is not ready and the main new features will come along Galaxy S 5 .
We just hope for a fluid experience and all sammy features packed in a nice update , don't we ?

I hope we get a leak to play with it, because i don't believe that we get the official before June (Samsung's update policy )

No, OmniRom's 4.4.X version is AOSP based. We need the official leak from Samsung with TW based.

I think a lot will change in the KitKat:cyclops:

I hope that with the new kitkat update my note 2 will consume less RAM..

Why would you NOT update? Makes no sense to not, you don't loose anything, outta a Nexus after all

I would like to avoid losing your customizations and mods

He asked how to disable OTA updates, not an opinion on the matter, or a statement as to how he should use the device you didn't buy for him
As for how to disable OTA updates, could try checking out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2429820 but if that doesn't work, there seems to be plenty of other threads with different solutions on the subject.

You'll need to be on 4.4.3 to update to 4.4.4

Yes screenshots would be great. The fact this has WiFi Calling makes it a worthy candidate.
But good work g7755725. You're pushing out good looking ROM's left and right. :highfive: I'd like to try this one. What minimal bugs are there?

Could the browser and keyboard be fixed by installing different ones from the Play Store? And then removing the stock browser and keyboard to prevent any more errors?
The wallpaper error sounds strange. Might easily be bypassable by using a third party app like Quickpic to apply both home and lock screens...maybe?
If I was a dev I would help fix the bugs most definitely. I hope somebody comes along and assists you. Looks like a worthy ROM.

Well myself and others appreciate your work. Dev for the T-Mo firmware-based ROMs seems to slowly be declining. You seem talented with your work so don't stop. :highfive:
Also I noticed you said this is run with NH7? That's mildly outdated. Your ROM doesn't flash the modem right? Also what about making the settings look like the S5? Would that be possible too? I understand some submenus like fingerprint scanner settings and download booster won't work. But it'll add to the experience. There might even be a way to remove those submenus all together.

What official firmware are you talking about? You cannot flash that firmware on our device as that firmware is for the I9505 International variant. You can flash a ROM BASED on the I9505 firmware, but you cannot directly flash a firmware for a different phone. The only available firmwares you can flash for our phone are here:

^^^HUH??? :crying:
I dont understand as a newbie
Im still learning this
To the OP:
1) Thank you for trying this
2) I was able to get it to boot and looked good but not EVERYTHING was S5 ish
3) Wi-fi would not come on
Running low on Data right now so i did not sign into my google account and DL any old apps and for some reason my last Tibackup is not working
returning to my stock rom here in a minute and will look at this again in the near future
ESPECIALLY if you can get it to run with 5.0 lollipop

Sony Z1 C pure Marshmallow

Good evening to all the community,
I haven't been here for some some time.... since I had my HTC Hero.
This was a phone that I installed so many custom ROM... Back in the days Android was not so developed and the demand was enormous...
But back to what I mention on the topic,
I am really disappointed with Sony, this phone costed me a lot of money, and not even two years have passed and they just don't give a FXXX.
Is there any way to install a pure android Marshmallow on Xperia Z1 Compact ?
And another thing... can we remove this big notification banners, as for whatsapp or hangouts... it's annoying...
Thank you for you attention!
The two years = no further support is completly normal. No difference in brands there.
Clean marshmallow? Possible. Bugfree? No. Take a look at fxp: http://fxpblog.co/aosp/aosp-6-0/
I find latest 5.1.1 update from Sony to be a good one, and I do not regret buying and owning this phone for two years Not loads of custom ROMs, but CM has always been good.
When CM13 nightlies start rolling and gets stable enough, I'll jump over to the custom ROMs wagon and enjoy bleeding endge Android again

Hi,
I've been into custom ROM's before.... thing is, some of them are not stable, and there is always something crashing or not fully working.
thanks for the tip, I'll have a look.

Something like this http://s9.postimg.org/7oqzyxzkv/Screenshot_20151205_191800.png ??
If you realy want to try Marshmallow you need to download unoficial build AOSP_M_151019_amami.zip from http://fxpblog.co/aosp/aosp-6-0/ and since these build can't boot I have fixed bootloop with recompiling kernel booth for boot.img and recovery.img, so simple replace recovery.img and boot.img with this new one https://mega.nz/#!ABhFTCLA!A55h9N0DQfJgi5Yxa9mmk3CrLlP_hEKOTDamZs6kaxs and try! And one more thing, its not for daily usage since audio is not working, camera...etc!
is there some video of rom online ?

Question,
Is this the "default ROM" for Sony's android : http://developer.sonymobile.com/kno...e/open-devices/list-of-devices-and-resources/ ?
Is there a similar way to install this as as having a "Pure Android Version" ?

Hello guys.
The llolipop roms made our phone really way much better than stock.But when compared to other touchwiz s7 or s6 style roms our phone's roms are incomplete and
THEY DON'T HAVE THEME STORE WORKING !
I have some days trying to edit framework and i have done a lot of work.
I wanna tell u that a new framework with theme support will come.It might come after 1 week or two,it isnt sure,but it will come.
If all goes good and i get some likes for support maybe i will upload a beta version these days.
Click LIKE :good: for support!
For lollipop or 4.4.2 stock?
Good luck

No. Still running happily on Pie
Karma Firewall loses it's very useful logging function starting with Q.
My trusted overlay apks get killed as well.
The cloud version of Package Disabler is all that will work on the latter OSs too. Found that out over the weekend. Not a fun 3 hours.
Samsung wasted no time in making Knox even worse in 10 and 11.
So my question is what good things did it bring to you?
Are you feeling mellow and protected or is your urge to kill rising?

For me I'm looking for updates for security , but with UI 3.1 I see more ram available than before , everything else is still the same for me also I've heard about new camera options and optimization

That's cool.
The scope storage though is overkill.
Even on my so unpatched Pie security hasn't been an issue unless I do something stupid.
Been waiting for over a year for the malware forced factory reset that never happened.
Just like the masks I'm not buying the hype.
No vaccine and no Android 11... kill me if you can virus, but you won't alter my base code by voluntary injection!
