Hi!
My girlfriend got herself a brand new LG Nexus 5 and decided to update it to Lollipop 5.1.1 (it originally came with KitKat 4.4.4). She does not like it and lost some cool features (or maybe just moved/renamed).
Is there a way that she can put KitKat 4.4.4 back into it?
Thanks =)

The easiest way would be to download the 4.4.4 factory image and flash it. Go to Google's site to find it. You will lose all of your user data when you do this.

That's what I meant. Follow the instructions, and you should be good. Good luck.
And, with Lollipop 5.1.1, is it possible to completely remove the notification vibration?
It looks like "all or nothing".

Yesterday I got my nexus 5 and it came with 4.4.2. During
initial boot it did not ask for any update or else. The power
adapter is british one.
Does somebody have the same version as default?
Best regards all.
Obviously as Android versions get released with "bugfixes", they start releasing them from the factory on the latest software build.
What is the *real* question here? I assume you were building up to a bigger question?

I think he is asking why his phone came with Android KitKat 4.4.2 and not a newer version.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I was distressed since everybody started with 4.4.
None reported upgrade from the factory. As you
might imagine, the fear wrote my post.
Best regards and thanks.

i think what hes saying is that his phone came with 4.4.2 while he read that other peoples phones came with 4.4(and were later updated to 4.4.2). he wants to know if others are running 4.4.2. and yes op, 4.4.2 is what you should be running right now.

Correct.
All of you have a phone with 4.4 from the factory. I am the only one
with 4.4.2. I was aware of that and wanted to know if I got faked or
old phone.
Thanks all for reply.

new phones come with 4.4.2 already installed. it really depends when you buy it. if you are reading online, you are probably reading something older.
Mine came in Thursday 4.4.2 installed.

Got my white Nexus 5 about two weeks ago and it came with 4.4.2 as well 32gb model
I will order mine in a month and it will surely have 4.4.3
Ok, the Nexus 5 is my first android. And just as I learnt pretty much everything an intermediate user needed to kno (rooting, launchers, clocking, ROMs, kernels, that stuff), there comes another problem. 4.4.3. I've been hearing rumours about the new KitKat version, and it scares me! Coming from iPhone it was pretty simple, click update. What should I expect from android? Is it the same process of "New update, update now?" Click yes and its done? Or is it more complicated then that?
Side note: I'm rooted with custom ROMs and kernels, so is it like an iPhone jailbreak, will it f**k up my phone if I straight up update or do I have to wipe beforehand?
Sorry that's its such a nooby question, I just want to have knowledge of what to expect.
Thanks for putting up with me! ;D

You can find all answers here:

If your stock - you will get it OTA and you just need to click. But if not got to the above thread.
If you're running a custom ROM you get updates from the developer, not Google. If you were running stock, you just go to settings\about phone\system updates.
Your ROM should update to 4.4.3 within a couple weeks, so you can be patient or go back to stock.

So I just ordered an AT&T Note 3 and from what I'm reading it appears that I should be hoping it does NOT come with KK preinstalled, correct?
Everything I see tells me that if I'm on KK there is no current root method, yes?
Also, if I am able to root am I able to use the custom Roms available? I'm coming from a Nexus 5 so everything seems much more complicated over here ?

Sure you can root KK roms, but KNOX will be triggered to 0x1 and warranty could be voided (depending on where you live). Btw i came from a N5 too

If I don't care about voiding my warranty can I accept the official KK update and still get root?
Also, how do you like it compared to the N5? Did you keep your N5 or sell it?

Where do you live? You can download the latest available 4.4.2 rom from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ and flash it with Odin 3.07. After that flash a custom recovery and then flash the latest superSU.zip in recovery and you`re set. You can also flash a prerooted custom rom straight with a custom recovery. I sold my N5 cause i`am excited about the coming OnePlusOne phone and i might just try that one.

Yeah as long as the one I bought ships with JB still I can root and then update to KK it seems. If it comes with KK I'm without root for now I guess.
We'll see! Fingers crossed

I flashed the latest nightly yesterday. Everything was great. Then last night I had a total inability to make or receive phone calls. I thought it might just be an install issue so I did a reinstall and unfortunately same resuts. Im using radio m8974a-2.0.50.1.13..... is this the issue. It works perfectly on stock 4.4.3 and im rooted. I like the rom but need my phone to work. Any suggesions?

If relevant, does your carrier require anything special? (e.g. Sprint users need to flash a fix for APN or something, I wouldn't know as my carrier doesn't need anything)
Was it working at any point in time while on the ROM, or was it like that on first installation?

I use at&t it worked at first for about an hour then stopped. I think it has something to do with the new 4.4.3 stuff. 4.4.2 was fine.
BTW this also happened to a few people on another custom ROM when they went from 4.4.2 to .3. They had to revert to stop also.

Maybe it's just the specific ROM? I suggest you try another first. I have no issues with 4.4.3

Hi everyone. Here is the problem. See, right now, I have teamwin recovery 3......sonething. 3.something. Anyways, I use darthstalker rom version 6. I want to upgrade to version 7 but....... Whoever I try to update or to even install any OS, all I get is boot loops or a galaxy logo with a red kernel message on top. It won't flash a new OS of any kind. For now my note 5 works fine on darthstalker 6 with sky kernel but I am dieing to see darthstalker 7. Any ideas luvs? When in recovery, am I supposed to mount something or unmount that's causing the trouble? I'm lost
darthstalker 6 is Lollipop, darthstalker 7 is marshmallow. you have to use a marshmallow kernel. use SkyHigh v3.4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...pment/kernel-skyhigh-mm-6-0-1-kernel-t3358982
Where's the download link luv?
I must be an idiot but I can't find the download load link to the kernel anywhere.

You need to update to MM official first. Backup everything you need on your device. Follow the instructions in the MM Update/root thread in the general section.

How do I update to mm official?
My phone isn't hooked to tmobile. I just use it as an Internet phone. It was my moms and she gave it to me. I use it on WiFi. She rooted it for me and I out on darthstalker 6 myself. I also don't have a computer anymore so whatever I dodo, I only have my recovery and whatever I can achieve in the note 5 without a PC.

Follow this guide and you'll be rooted stock with TWRP. Once done, made a backup of it just in case you need something to fall back on. You can then flash whatever MM rom you want for the T variant.
