If apps don't work with 4.4 doesn't mean that 4.3 is better.

Maybe this is a silly method,
My N900 was rooted, when I install XXUCMK2 on my N900 and rooted manually via odin, I didn't satisfy with MK2, then I use CWM to reset data and format/system then install XXUCMJ7 via odin and it works well.
I need your comment if my method is correct.
NB : Both XXUCMK2 and XXUCMJ7 were download from sammobile
It's already being discussed in great detail HERE.

I upgraded back when 4.3 first came out and I didn't like it. Two main reasons were that flash absolutely wouldn't work even with adobe flash installed and stock browser installed. I know flash isn't officially supported in jellybean but it works almost flawlessly on 4.2.2 with the right browsers. Couldn't get it working at all on 4.3 and there are a few content sites out there that I enjoy where flash is still required unfortunately. Hopefully flash will eventually be completely consumed by html5. The other main reason was that I couldn't get any type of adblock to function on 4.3 where as on 4.2.2 it works fine. I would like to take advantage of the supposed stability that 4.3 offers but I don't think its worth the cost of having no flash. I guess I could live with having to see adds. Does anyone know if there is a way to get flash working on 4.3?

If i knew that i wouldn't get anything noticable with 4.3 like it is, i would never update to 4.3
4.2.2 worked awesome, but with 4.3 i have some micro lags in some areas.
Btw, "adaway" works great on rooted 4.3, try it.

So are you saying you like 4.3 or you dislike it compared to 4.2.2? Thanks for the heads up on adaway.

They always say: "If it ain't broken, don't fix it", and because you seemed to be completely happy with 4.2.2, you can better stick with it.

Flash did not work for me either on 4.3, until I updated the bootloader to 4.23. After this, I installed the latest flash apk and it has worked flawlessly with Dolphin browser since.

Has anyone updated to 4.3 official using any of the roms from sammobile? I see the nordic countries 4.3 is available, I normally use either this, the German or Swedish version, I've even used a Hong Kong one before now lol, but with the recent changes Sammy have made regarding knox and location lock etc, I'm a bit dubious to upgrade.
They normally just work, just checking this is still the case before I end up with an expensive paperweight.
There is a thread somewhere by chainfire with a fix to sammys region lock. The lion rom is pretty much stock with nox removed, you just have to use devil's kernel for wifi

I have flashed mine to the nordic contries im in uk and everything works great yes it has knox but I have had no problem rooting or installing custom roms. Im on the new skynote 4.3 note 3 edition and its the best rom I have used so far

Cheers mate. I flashed it the other day haven't got around to posting an update yet.
Yes it has knox, but I'm not going to be rooting this device because I use it for sky and a few other apps that require unrooted.
Impressions are good so far. Everything is smooth and all my apps are working as they were before, including the sky sports app which got an update recently to work with 4.3.
One thing to note though, if you use allshare cast dongle. It has a problem working with 4.3 devices that have been updated. So if you run into this issue the fix is to do a factory reset.
There is a workaround for rooted devices on here, it's in the S4 section.
A bit of a pain having to reset I know but seems to be the only solution for unrooted devices that run into it.

Hi mate
I'm also using the sky go app, and on stock 4.1 I've just been using ota rootkeeper to toggle root when needed. I really need root for the viper audio mod.
I'm just wondering which 4.3 ROM you've got it to work on? With 4.1.2 it NEEDS to be stock ROM and kernel for sky go to work. If I upgrade I want to get a ROM without knox, but any custom ROM won't work.
Please let me know as right I'm sticking to 4.1.2.
Thanks

There weren't any custom rom's available for the 7105 that were stock with knox/location lock removed when I last checked (may be different now?). I just used the nordic rom from sammobile.
If there's none available I think you'll need to wait for a dev to rip the rom and remove knox if you don't want it. Unless you have the time and skills to diy I got the skills but not the time, unfortunately
As I said, I'm not bothered about knox at the moment. I was more bothered by location lock, but I've not had any issue so far.

Why not just flash the bootloader from DN3 it works with all the official roms and is knox free?

Yeah I will probably do that at some point.
I'm assuming I can restore my nandroid backup to 4.1.2 if I'm not happy?
The xposed mod unfortunately didn't work... Thanks anyway
Some apps are funny as to what they decide is a security risk. Sky are so far up Apple's arse they tend to look for anything that's NOT as the manufacturer released as a security issue. It's actually bollocks but try telling them that.
My other Note 2 is rooted and running 4.3 without all the bs. But most of the apps I need simply won't install/run due to idiotic requirements of the app provider. Hence why I have a 2nd note 2 which has been rooted but I had to unroot and reset the flash counter to get these apps to work. Guess Sammy aren't too fussed, they did get 2 sales from me lol

Hello
I own a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 which recently upgraded to 4.4.2 from 4.3. However, certain apps, such as those that record phone calls, have stopped working.
How can I downgrade the system to 4.4.1, 4.4 or 4.3 please?
Regards
I never seen 4.4.1 note 3.
But with new kk bootloader u can't go back to 4.3.
Sent from N9005 4.4.2 NB7 rooted device
The Samsung Support told me, that a downgrade is only in a Support Center possible, when your fon is not rooted or Knox flagged. When Knox or root triped, you have to pay a Service and will get your warranty back. 4. 4.1 is not possible because after 4.3 came 4.4.2 only.
best regards

for call recording you can use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441643
works even more perfect then the xposed mod i used before (the one you mentioned which does not work on 4.4.2 anymore),
you can set auto convert to mp3, auto-upload...
and: sound quality is perfect!

Hi,
I have tried to install Android 4.3 to my ks01lte, but WiFi and maybe other things doesn't work.
Than I've tried prerooted ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2597058 but there was problem with MHL and others things but WiFi was working fine.
So my question is:
Because Android ERV 4.3 version does not exists yet. Is it possible to install Android 4.3 to my GT-I9506 ks01lte EVR? If yes which one from list of stock ROMs?
Or may I wait for official EVR 4.3 or KK?

I am running stock kitkat 4.4 on my note 3 n9005. Rooted with philz cwm for recovery. I am running xposed framework and running the module which when making a call changes the ADD CALL button to RECORD. If I record a call and come to play it back, when I open the file to listen to it all I get is a static sound. Can somebody plz shed some light on whats the problem. I can not figure it out. Thanks

Hi
I have the same problem and from what I have read on other posts it seems it's a limitation that was introduced in kitkat for legal reasons, thus no hack or fix is possible unless you flashed a custom ROM
You need to be on NC2 FW or higher and NB1 modem or higher and call recording will work fine...
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
When you say NC2 FW or higher and NB3 modem. How do I find what modem I am running. Is that the kernal version im running. Sorry still a newbie. I am running kernal version N9005XXUEND6. if im wrong how can I find what modem I am running and where can I download the NB3 modem. Funny this is my second note 3 and same as this note 3 was rooted running 4.4 and call recording was working fine. And again whats NC2 FW? thanks I know im asking alot but im a quick learner and still a newbi to all this. With my note 2 it was flawless, every mod and rom and anything I done to it worked perfect. Bloody samsung and thier bull**** knox and locked boot loaders, man this might be my last galaxy im over thier bull****. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks

Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
A correction, my auto correct messed up the modem in the previous post, you need NB1 or higher. NB3 was the FW that the modem was released with.
Modem = baseband/radio. FW = firmware.
Easiest way to do this would be to flash NB3 FW, that way your modem and FW both get updated and you don't have to flash twice..

Ohhh NC2 FW (FIRM WARE) which I believe im running. But where can I find what modem im running is that the CSC and where can I find a modem NB3 or higher I can flash with odin or mobile odin
