Hello,
like the topic name says, should I update my phone to Lollipop?
I've read on older topics there are a lot of issues with stock 5.0.1, like lower battery life, lags and other stuff.
There have probably been a few OTA updates that might have fixed those issues?
What are you're guys experience so far with stock 5.0.1?
I'm still on 4.4.2 btw, so far it works great.
If you have i9505. Is recommend updating and flashing @Albe95 S6 Port which is the best current rom for S4

What about stock 5.0.1, yours and other peoples experience?
I just got the phone, so I'd like to keep it stock for now.
No and never update anything your phone in any way!
Update = Problems. Lollipop already proved that.
Hope you have not yet updated !
I haven't updated yet.
So I guess I should stay on 4.4.2 then.
Stay where you are. If you want lollipop go custom or gpe.
I too is still on 4.4.2, might try a custom lollipop

Stay where you are ,Lollipop has battery drain!!!
Thanks for all your input on this guys, I really appreciate it.
Hopefully Samsung will fix it through future updates.

Don't count on Samsung fixing anything in a timely fashion. At this point it's highly unlikely the S4 will ever see Android 5.1.1, especially if Samsung can't even be bothered to update the Google Play Edition S4 to 5.1.1 despite every other GPE phone already receiving it.
If you want a stock-ish custom Android 5.x ROM for your S4, there are at least three decent ones in the I9505 Development section: Imperium ROM, Lollirom, and Albe95's S6 port. Currently I'm using the S6 port as it's the only one of the three that is running Android 5.1.1.
BUMP'ing my old thread a month later because I don't need to create a new one.
Same question, there probably have been a lot of OTA updates after the first 5.0.1 came out on the S4,
is it worth now updating to 5.0.1?
Have the battery issues/lags/whatever problems been fixed?
I'm still on 4.4.2 and I'm tempted to update but I don't wanna get any problems.
The looks and feel of 5.0.1 are nothing if in expense of performance/battery.
Thank you for your time.

No, don't do it. I tried recently. Still crappy (clean install). So I'm back and will stay on KK for this devise. Faster, more reliable and fewer bugs.
DON'T, as others said stay at kitkat or older ,but if need lollipop so badly one of the following (both requires updating to lollipop)=
1.CyanogenMod or cm based ROMs(for touchwiz haters,half stable,recommended=CyanogenMod itself)
2.touchwiz based roms(for touchwiz fans or the people who are trying to be original, sometimes fully stable, sometimes half stable,recommended=able's s6 port or able's lollirom)

Ok, my device is the Note 4 SM-N901C, Baseband is: N901CXXU1BOE1, Thailand. I rooted it recently and I might revert back to stock as I am just not needing it rooted right now. Not really taking full control over it like I wanted. I was wondering if there is any way to get 5.1.1 for my device and if Marshmellow could be installed using another baseband for my model? Forgive these questions, I am not much up to date on all the root, baseband, kernel lingo and don't know much about it. This is my first Samsung, and possibly my last since they are super slow in releasing OS updates. I am still stuck on 5.0.1 while the rest of the world is sporting 5.1.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Last spring, I successfully rooted my Nex 7 (2013) so I could override the speaker volume and actually hear music! At the time, I had Kit Kat 4.4. Since then, Upgrade 5.02 (boo) has beed downloading everyday trying to get me to allow it to replace Kit Kat.
So, now comes 6.0 which seems a whole lot better than lollipop. To upgrade, must I UNROOT, INSTALL and Root again? Must I accept all the 5.0 versions to get to 6.0?
I am not a newbie but this rooting thing was new territory for me.
Thanks.
Just download the nexus factory image and flash it via nexus root toolkit.
Just my view, but 6 does not run well on N7 2012. But try it and see. The best for this tablet, I think is 4.4.3.
Others will have other ideas.
Hello
I am currently on stock rooted rom on 4.4.2. I never bothered updating since it served my purposes of watching movies.
I need to gift my nexus to someone I know, so wanted to update and unroot before giving. Would anyone please tell me how the performance and battery life is on 6.0.1 stock (will be used unrooted most likely)? I have the Wifi 2013 nexus 7
I understand it may be too obvious of an answer butI searched the thread but could not find an answer. Been away from xda for a long time. Good to be back!
Nexus 7 2013 forums are here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7-2013
it's a completely different device, the 2012 doesn't have a stock Marshmallow and wont get one.
Hi guys,
Been a long time since i visited this forum but have a bit of a dilemma.
One of my favourite apps now requires i have android 5.1 or higher, so i need to know what is the easiest way to move from Android 5.0 to Android 5.1.
I have looked for another app that supports my phone but they are all rubbish.
I have contacted the dev, in the hope that all it is, is a matter of updating the list of compatible devices, but in case that doesn't come to fruition, am looking at moving to 5.1
I would prefer to keep it as standard as possible, but realise there is no official 5.1 firmware.
My phone is stock n9005 5.0, but rooted with odin chainfire method.
Is there stockish 5.1 and can it be done via recovery or am I going to have to completely reflash via odin and download mode.
Appreciate your help, been so long since i have been down this path have forgotten the intricacies of it all.
Cheers
