The most stable Lollipop ROM will most likely be the official lollipop ROM (CM12S), which is meant to be released next month. In order to take that update you first need to be on CM11S though, and it's likely that you're not on CM11S if you have the Chinese model. Go into Settings/About Phone and tell me what it says under Cyanogenmod Version.

Cyanogenmod Version:
11.0-XNPH44S
And i ment: what's the most stable rom for now.

You're on CM11S so when the update comes you can take it. Asking which ROM is most stable never really works out, you'll get a bunch of people all with their own opinion contradicting each other. Just find one you think you'll like by checking the features in the OP, and read the last ten pages or so to see what bugs are being reported. Just keep in mind that a lot of bugs are caused by user error.

Yes, you can root the stock ROM and still receive OTA updates. You need an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery to flash root but that's ok because you'll still get OTA with those as well.

Hi guys,
what you think about possibility of an OTA for CM11S, to upgrade Android version to 4.4.4 ?
Do you think it will be?
Regards.

Being honest I'm surprised it wasn't launched on 4.4.4 so I'd imagine we'll get there eventually

Yes, that's it....i'm surprised too!!
That's why i'm asking you guys!!
Android 4.4.4 exists for a long time, and i don't understand why CM11S don´t have it, even CM11 for OnePlus works in Android 4.4.4, but CM11S(dedicated ROM) not.
Thank you, for your reply!
We all are waiting for next CM11S OTA Update....
They announced another update for this week or next

Any idea about change log, or what are the improvements?

I haven't receive it yet, clarify me, because the 11s it's on 4.4.2 right ?
Anyone play with nightlies 4.4.4 ?? They works well ? no major bugs at all ? what functions you lost from 11s ?
sorry for the too many questions

Still not OTA update for Android 4.4.4....that's what we are talking about...
But it seems it is on it's way to get it.
About normal CM 11 nightlys, yes, already rolls with Android 4.4.4, but for sure you lose some features dedicated to OnePlus One, developed in CM11S, like Camera features.
So, i think it's better to wait for new CM11S OTA.

Lets be honest your asking in xda has anyone play with nightlies... come on now 95% of the people in here are running a custom rom. Waiting for a company to update your phone when there are capable developers here making your phone better to me is a waste of time. Root and upgrade your phone at your leisure and enjoy. Here is the changelog from 4.4.3 and 4.4.4
whatever is lost from 11S can be obtained just by searching this forum and nightlies of course will have more upldated options

Camera, lockscreen and kernel from CM11S can all be implemented back into nightlies
as far as version 4.4.4 of android is an openssl fix which is already present in cm11s. its nothing but a number at this point. but there will be an ota update soon. my guess is by wednesday if they keep doing updates on a monthly schedule.

I thought I read somewhere that CM11s camera will work on CM11 ROMs by just installing the .apk

Yes it can and I stated that on the page earlier. Also its only an apk not a big deal to try and see if it works. I use it on every rom that I have flashed in here including CM11
More than anything, they need to merge the latest CM M9 improvements into this next OTA. I don't even know if the current software is based on M8 or not.

No and this information is out there may I suggest some research. Please research before rooting as well so you know what you are getting into and know all your risks.
Plus any OTA will have a zip in the forum anyways. Plus they are on 4.4.2 we are all on 4.4.4 with Android L rom in the works. Be ahead of the curve root your phone and flash new CM

CM12 on Indian OPO

Hey Guys, I just bought the 64GB OPO from Amazon India. As per the latest CM fiasco, Indian users aren't supposed to get official upgrade to CM12s in India. But, can I manually install CM12 (not CM12s) on my Indian OPO? Will that cause any problems?
There is no problem, you can still update to CM12s because pepper are still continuing to receive OTA updates. There should be no issues, you can install a VPN and just change location in order to receive the OTA even for 12s.
And yes you can install CM12 for the opo, I've been running on cm12 on my opo since December, there are a ton of cm12 based ROMs in the development section, or you can choose to use the official nightlies from CM, but these are usually buggy.
It will not cause any problem, at the most if you screw up really bad, you can end up soft bricking the device, but it can still be fixed.
You can indeed flash CM12 onto your device, and you can flash CM12S onto your device when it's released. You can flash any OnePlus One ROM. Check out my guide thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2839471
Follow sections 1, 2, 3, and 5 to get CM12 (or any ROM) onto your phone. And make sure you make a backup of your EFS partition by following section 10 too.
Please note: unlocking the bootloader erases all user data from the phone so it's best to do this before you really start using the device.

I was just wondering whether CM inc. is really implementing the SAR based software update blocking for Indian Devices. I do know that we can flash different roms such as slimLP, omni etc. but was just wondering whether cm12 can be flashed or not. Thanks for clarifying. Btw, oxygenOS will be released tommorrow right? I will need to unlock bootloader to and install twrp to flash oxygenOS, so I guess I should keep my device ready

Haha yes, I'm waiting for the same, but I'll be switching back to cm12 after a few days of oxygenOS; really gotten used to this now, especially with the @temasek custom rom compiled by @katinatez and @ak kernel

Yup, read that after flashing official Cm12 :/
Is there a thread or website where zip files of official Cm11s updates are posted? Would bookmark so that I can just flash cm12s over current cm12 build?

Buddy, all those builds are cm12 builds. I was talking about CM12s
CM 12S is still not yet out... hence there will be no open download links available.

You won't be able to flash CM12S over the top of CM12, just like you can't flash CM11S over CM11.

[Q] AT&T LG G3 Lollipop Update

Hi guys.I had an Xperia Z since yesterday,when i bought an AT&T LG G3.I'm from Romania and the man from whom I bought it got it from the USA.When I want to make the software update,it tells me that the latest version is installed.But the version i have is 4.4.2,and the latest is Lollipop...
So,is there a way to do the software update?I wouldn't like to install CM 12.1 because,from what i've read,it's full of bugs...
Thanks!

This has been asked a good amount of times in just a few days. No you cannot. You'd have to root , flash twrp, and then flash a rom that you'd want to use.

I searched the internet but i didn't found the answer.
Why?Only because i don't use an AT&T SIM?

If you read the "Index" thread, you could find this, which is what I think you want: Stock Lollipop 5.0.1
Of course, official (nightly) for cm12.1 just came out. Find that yourself.

Help for Downgrading to Kitkat

Any way to downgrade to Kitkat 4.4.4?
Thanks
Mod Edit:
Thread closed at OPs request.
You can downgrde by using Flashtool by @Androxyde and flash 4.4.4 ftf for your model but you will loose your data because of lollipop ART. If you need a ftf i can upload one for you

Thanks. I'm not going to flash it right now, but I'll need latest version of Kitkat available for D2302. I'll get my hands on a PC in a week, then I'll flash the phone.
I have one question though.
After downgrading through flashtool, will my phone be able to recieve OTA? (in case they decide to release fix for camera) Or will I have to flash again for update?
And I saw that some people were saying they had good camera after lollipop, May I know what did they do?

Yes, after downgrading you will be able to OTA upgrade to lollipop but I think OTA won't work if you have an unlocked bootloader. And i don't know how people with a good camera quality have do this.

Thanks! I have an unlocked bootloader. I'll definitely flash Kitkat now.
Hi,
Could anyone please upload latest stock Kitkat 4.4.4 ftf for D2302 India?
Is there any difference between different countries ftf? Like FM frequency, etc.
And one last question, Can I flash stock Sony ftf with Locked Bootloader? And will it still be able to get official updates?
Thanks

Which emui/android version should I run ?

Hi
I just got myself this phone, I would like to know which software (android/emui) version is the best to run? In terms of minimum amount of lags/bugs, best battery management. I do not mind not having the lastest features as I only use my phone to call/text/browseinet/watch videos.
my phone version is the H60-L04V100R001C00B109SP01.
Thanks guys for your help.
Then I would not upgrade. The Android 4.4 the phone comes with is more likely your best option.

I know what cyanogenmod is but I don't like it, also I do not want to root or flash custom roms.
thanks for your advice tho
I'd say upgrade to the last KitKat ROM released for your model and stick to it maybe until Marshmallow stable becomes a thing. I wanted to downgrade to KitKat after getting Lollipop as in my opinion it was much better but just couldn't be bothered enough to actually downgrade to be honest.
