Go for lollipop. It is a MAJOR upgrade and a MAJOR improvement.

First off, as an Iron Maiden fan, love the user name.
As far as 4.4.3 or 4.4.4, I would almost be surprised if the S4 ever got either officially. Having said that, there are a few custom roms via Safestrap that are running 4.4.4. And, many more are coming.
Be careful what you wish for. Any new release beyond NC1 may kill the towelroot exploit leaving I337 users without root or any path to custom ROMs....even safestrap wouldn't work.

My guess we will have it in the upcoming days. But there is nothing to get excited about, 4.4.4 is just bug fixes. I put together a safestrap rom based on tmobiles release yesterday to preview the changes. No ui changes or noticeable speed changes. As for root....the kernel swap then towelroot method should work.
i got the notification and i updated my nexus already. right now its upgrading
Here's a screenshot
I got it today too!!!. So smooth.
I got it too, but it failed on install for some reason

Same here. Trying to update from 4.4.4, failed in the middle way. Need to unroot first?

5.0.1
Prevent factory reset for short passwords in CryptKeeper
Since patterns and passwords can't be shorter than 4 elements, we shouldn't count them against attempts to unlock the device. If we do, we risk resetting the device due to stray input.

does TowelRoot - one click root - work for 5.0.1 or did they patch the exploit?

Yep.
Gah, 5.01 is out and I am still waiting for Lollipop on my LTE model. ?
I wasn't getting the OTA update for 5.0.1 but had already flashed 5.0 myself. Still running stock unrooted.
This AM I unlocked my bootloader which wipes the system. During the initial set up after wiping it updated me to 5.0.1 OTA.
Just a heads up.
I'm puzzled.
Even though I had the Google SystemUpdateService$Receiver disabled, I just received the OTA update for 5.0.1 on my 2013 N7.
My device is rooted. What will happen if I choose to install the update? Will I lose root? Will I have to reinstall my apps?
I'm quite satisfied with 4.4.4 and feel no real need to upgrade.
My N7 wifi still hasn't received plain old 5.0 and you guys are getting 5.0.1 already? ugh...

My rooted N7 wifi never got notice of 5.0, but I got notice of 5.0.1. I'm still on 4.4.4

You won't get 5.0. You will get 5.0.1. They stopped 5.0 because of an issue, 5.0.1 is the official update. It will take weeks for everyone to get it.

and status bar look transparent or black? running official 5.0.1 version

The truth is that you had Lollipop on your phone this entire time...
It was made years ago and finally it will be unlock in a few weeks.
This may the last message I can write here before they find me.
Good luck

Relax, Samsung isn't in any hurry No reason to worry, you're by far not the only one. But hey.. You're on XDA and there are tons of TouchWiz Lollipop ROMs over here and brilliant CM builds too! Come to the dark side, it's better than the stock unrooted ROM that Samsung wil give you lol..
Just curious, I hope chiefs here don't mind about this question, but I really want to know why would you guys downgrade from Lollipop to KitKat? What's the problem about the update?, what's the things that you don't like?, is the performance of the device affected in a bad way? Or what issues does the update has?
Thanks in advance! :good:
Why should update at the end?
What's new in the Lollipop which could be useful to users, that is the question!
I mean, if you do not know what is new and revolutionary, why take a chance? Curiosity about?
P.S. before we get to the process of updating, changelog for Android Lollipop for the Samsung Galaxy A5 with important changes, will be useful.

Unfortunately Samsung doesn't not provide change logs for firmware updates.
The reason why people are downgrading from KitKat to Lollipop is probably because of bad RAM management in Lollipop, buggy, not compatible with Xposed Framework, or perhaps not used to the new interface and prefers the KitKat interface instead.

In fact for me was like a NEED, because having these device with 4.4.4 was like odd. I'm truly happy with 5.0.2 but I have found a lot of people like complaining about this and looking for the downgrade.

Yeah, maybe. But honestly I found really fast and lag free my device with 5.0.2. The only thing I could complain is about 'iPhone style notifications' but there's always chance of 'cancelling' them, so it's pretty easy indeed
the battery performance is a lot better, thats why i downgraded

Because of, as compare to kitkat, lolypop is very slow version
