I honestly appreciate your good intentions. And yes, I am not that well versed in this matter. But I am "good enough" to do it, rooted all my phones up to now myself (with the help of these kind forums ofc). The only thing that makes me insecure about this is that I'm coming from CM.

Got this installed yesterday. It runs pretty fast, battery life is extremely good as well. What's missing is the ability to block individual notification from showing up on lock screen. Also my moto360 gets disconnected and reconnected quite often, like 3 or 4 times an hour. GPS icon flashes every couple of hours on the corner of the status bar, but it doesn't seem to affect battery consumption.

Thanks a lot bro. I made exactly what u tell told me, and everything works perfect.

Just one question. I'm trying to set the homescreen and the lockscreen wallpaper from the note 4 on my note 3. For the home screen is just had to set the wallpaper (that i downloaded 1080x1920) and i works. But for the lock screen, when i set the wallpaper, and after that go to check, it seems that my lock screen wallpaper is zoomed in (and the quality became poor because it's zoomed). I tried many other resolution, searched on the internet, but NOTHING. :( U have an idea what it comes from ?

Well, one more to confirm the Bluetooth issue. I have experienced that since the first Lollipop leak, but was confident the official release would have that fixed. It SEEMED stable, but today the issue happened. It seems to occur only after the phone is on for some time, but I couldn't find a precise scenario to replicate the issue. Also going back to KitKat. I heard this is something with Lollipop 5.0, and Google fixed that in 5.0.1 or 5.0.2.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] xclub_101:
1) I believe for the moment it could be the only way to have root and knox 0 in 5.0.

2) I was referring to the Mobile Odin Pro method, look into the specific thread here on Mobile Odin Pro, read it from about here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49452031#post49452031

However for 4.3 -> 4.4 you might be able to have another path by going to one of the initial stock versions of 4.4 which can then be rooted with Towelroot, it is the next step 4.4 -> 5.0 which is IMHO trickier (since there is no equivalent for Towelroot on 5.0).

I've now tried the polish and Vodafone UK firmwares yet the Bluetooth issue still persists.

Definitely going back to KitKat. So long lollipop. It was a good update aside from that issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] PlutoDelic:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en

This app, has a tool which allows you to change the CSC, however, you can change the CSC that the ROM has included. Some Regional ROMs have the whole Europe (or at least most of it), and some can be a single-csc package. So it will allow you to pick one of the included CSC.

Careful though, as it will wipe your phone, never read why though.

A lot of Custom ROMs have a base of Note 4, why not try that. Also, the Note 4 layout in my opinion is very laggy, think twice there.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Beefheart:
I've not used the official version of Lollipop myself, but I have heard that, to use one example, the sound shortcut buttons are missing as they are shown in my screenshot attached. Is this not the case? If they are there then I heard incorrectly but there is no doubt the official release is based on an older build than the second leak.

EDIT - and I'm not talking about the NL8 leak, I'm talking about the OA5 leak. Roms like AryaMod 3.1 are based on it, and the author of that rom is saying he will continue updating it on the second leak until a new official release comes along as the current official release offers nothing new and is missing certain features.

Ah, I never used the OA5 leak, so I have no idea about it.

Though I believe that leaked version might be newer than the official one (some new features added, that may have bugs and were not added in the official update yet), as building the full update package does take a time. Leak is only the kernel and system, though official update includes modem, bootloader and many other additions.

Don't take this as facts, just my two cents.

The author of AryaRom has checked out the official release and said it's effectively NL8 for the most part.

Now we can upgrade to 5.0 with mobile Odin and than the bootloader with PC Odin keeping root on.
