Hi Guys
I was wondering is there a firmware I could use to install pure Android 4.4. on my Note 3, I'm sick of touchwiz, want the pure Google OS.
How can I do this? Can I just use the nexus firmware? or do i need to use a rom like Paranoid Android?
Thanks
Alex
p.s
i know my s pen wont work in 4.4

Hi. I'm running Skynoye 4.3 Edition ROM on my Note 2 i317. I love this ROM and its based of of an official leak for 4.3 update. I also love stock android but this being a note 2, it has an spen which requires a lot of proprietary software inside touchwiz to run at its full compasity. I also love touchwiz features. Is there a way for me to dual boot touchwiz and an aosp ROM like cyanogen or paranoid android? And also can the two Roms share all data like apps and documents? Thanks in advance.
Happy Tinkering.
Best wishes,

Okay, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013. I have rooted the tablet successfully and installed Omnirom on it, except Omnirom cam with Android 4.4.4 when my device's stock version is Android 4.1.2. After downloading Omnirom I would like to switch to Paranoid Android so I can access the pie feature on my tablet instead of the omnibox.
However, being very new at this, could I use a Paranoid Android Tablet Rom based on Android 4.4.4 instead of the standard 4.1.2? I don't want to go back to 4.1.2, it wasn't fun. I would like to keep Android 4.4.4 and have the updated version of Paranoid Android for my Galaxy Note 10.1 Is this possible?

your question seems odd for some reason im not understanding i guess.
so, you flashed a 4.4.4 rom onto your device and you want to know if you can flash another 4.4.4 rom onto your device that is made for your device correct?
if that is accurate^^, then yes, you can just flash the new rom.
the only possible problem i could see is, if there is an official update to kitkat for your device? if no then there will be no issue.
if there is an official kk for your device, say so and i will elaborate on the possible issues.
Hi everybody,
I am now using a Galaxy tab 2 P5110, running under Android 4.1.2, not rooted.
My problem is that my Tab is really slow when I use basic apps (chrome, office apps).
In order to get a bit more power from it (removing the Samsung layout, but I know it's a 2012 tablet...) I am looking for the most stable ROM I could use, and if possible running under a quite recent android version.
I am quite new to this kind of manipulations, so I am also looking for a tutorial to instal the ROM you could advice me.
I know I have to root my tab before doing anything. Does the tutorial available here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657056 - by Weltwon) work with 4.1.2 android version?
Thank you all for your answers!

Edit: I have an other question. Is the root enough to remove the Samsung touchwizz layer? If yes, how to do it?
Lineage OS 13.0
You could get a Lineage OS 13.0 nightly, and from my experience those are fairly stable.

For starters if you want to get rid of TouchWiz you can remove all of the bloatware and Samsung apps (like TouchWiz home, AccuWeather widget, Samsung Apps, Group play).
But I recommend just install custom ROM. Maybe cm11 or cm12.. I am using Dhollmen 4.4.4 on my tab for 1 years and it is working very well for me.
Thank you for your advices,
@tasnim_tamim: I dont know Dohllmen. Is it à cyanogenmod Android version? Which tab do you run under this ROM?
@orionboughton: are nightly versions if lineageOS stable? I have heard that these are update vert often, and some Android functionality can be disabled
Its a ROM based of SlimROM.. I am running it on my galaxy tab 2 7.0 p3100
Lineage OS 13.0
Lineage OS is basically an updated version of Cyanogenmod, so i guess that's what it's based off of.
I've been running a nightly of Lineage OS from their website at https://download.lineageos.org/espressowifi , and it's really smooth compared to touchwiz and the ram is managed much better. The camera works, the gyroscope works, and I've only had one or two problems (like root not being enabled out of the box, and needing to flash a supersu zip to get that running), and besides that it's all good. If you have a problem, rebooting usually fixes it and I've rarely had to do that in the past few weeks I've been running it.
Another plus is it runs android 6.0, which seems to be better in every way. Great standby time, 4h or more screen on time, etc.
However if you do decide to get it, make sure to flash with the latest version of twrp, and if not you might softbrick your device.
I noticed to all the ports of other phones that use TW are on Kitkat why not on a higher Android version like 5x or 7x..?
Iam using Note 7 port from E Team at the moment and that only on 4.4.4 why not 5x or 7x Android..?
CynogenMod is on 7x so why not other roms.
What you think..??

Bcuz it's not possible to use touchwiz apps on cynogenmod.
1.You cannot post these kind of stuffs in this thread
2.Since the stock kernel for above 4.4 didn't provided by Samsung,devs cannot build touchwiz based rom of lollipop or higher

There ain't any TouchWIZ ROMs released by Samsung for our Exynos chipset. (Like for the Note 2, S3 etc). All run on Kitkat.
And also if it where there i need a F2FS patched kernel for AOSP's kernel to work on TW ROMs (which uses a different file system from AOSP for higher android versions).
Else i could've made an attempt like i did for Grand Prime. (But storage will not work, then someone good at compiling kernels could help me at that).
Regards!
