Roms for old bootloader ?

Anything recent? no AOSP Roms please.
Are there any touchwiz 4.4.2 roms made specifically for users of the old bootloader?

I recommend this one, based on stock TW 4.4.2, works on the old boot loader no problem. Updated all the time with newer firmware and plenty of add-ons to choose from.

I've been doing that, but being on the old bootloader means allot of the TW roms don't work quite right and I end up wasting allot of time flashing and reading through pages and pages of reply's..

Thread closed as its basically a Best ROM thread.

Explain your issue in Detail...
Which Firmware are you on now?

Hi, yup you are right, sorry. I have an SM N910 L using Lollipop 5.0.1 For a couple of weeks now I have been unable to connect to my provider. I have a data sim and everything worked fine for about 7 weeks and then it just stopped. I have tried everything to solve this issue.
Please see this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/im-bonkers-ill-pay-50-dollars-to-fix-t3169748
The only thing I haven't tried is installing a custom ROM in the hope that somehow this will solve the issue. Do you think it might work? How exactly would I do this?

[Request] Custom kernel for Kitkat roms

It will be great if we get custom kernel for kitkat roms.. Like miui/cm11 .. Kitkat roms are best in terms of stability. So I request devs to compile kernel for kk if possible

A request to your request.. build it your self, its faster than waiting for someone who is not gonna do it..
Here are some kitkat kernel sources..
The first one that ever existed..
The second one

Its marshmallow time. Why you wanna go down to kitkat when the stable MM roms is available now? Its out date. As pirej said, build your own custom kernel if you really want it!!!

i don't know why? really like kitkat rom very much. i heavily use internet with both 3g and wifi for almost 15-18 HOURS per day. i know marshmallow is stable now but with heavy usage cpu temperature goes over 50 it makes phone very hot we can't touch it. in kitkat with same usage got temperature around 44-46 and never crosses 50. so i am staying with kitkat. he is just requesting u not forcing u to make a kernel

yeah like he just said, kitkat doesnt overheat like Lollipop and Marshmallow. Unfortunately building a kernel isnt as easy as flashing a Rom so many of us can't do it. I myself keep flashing over and over again, coz when im on M, my phone overheats and i miss MIUI interface. when im on kitkat, i feel outdated. i have an internal conflict (((

Yaah Kitkat is outdated but I like it more than MM and Lp and Its my personal wish that I want a Kitkat kernel.. I'm not forcing or ordering anyone to make a kernel for me.. I'm just requesting.. If I was able to make kernel then I would not ask others to make it.. Don't know whats your problem If I'm requesting

Hey yo, Just like him I am back with the MiUI KK.

So, if you know any MM rom that these 2 features are working fine, please tell me!
My model is HM2014819

help choosing the right rom

hello XDA
to the point directly.
what i have currently is stock rom 5.0 with lean kernel , and my device model SM-N9005.
what i look for is scratch stock rom with very very minimal fast build and i really don't care about themes or any visual things . i just wanted the best stable performance.
I'm sick of flashing my note 3 from rom to another , i wonder if there is any ready deodex stock rom so i can remove the unwanted apps manually or any rom you suggest and light me up.
pleases help me out because it's bean long time and I'm searching here and there without clue.

You could try temasek cm13, or resurrection remix. Both are very light builds.

Android 5.1.1 is a very stable version, dark lord 5.1.1, music liber version ,phronesis Last version, aroma music Last versions.

i did googled rayman95 and the rom was very nice from the first look
but the issue is it not support our region language and all letters shows x it's not supported at all.
My question is
How can I add language or let the device recognize it.

i have bad experience on that ROM on Note3 Unlike Note1 work just fine.

I really like rayman95 light version of ROMs but the issue is the device never recognize my language at all , I have no problems with English but many important emails and messages I can't read it at all and so far I don't know anyway to flash language pack "ARABIC".

Any updates on this? I have the same device, recently got it, want to see if there's a good rom to run to get rid of all the non-sense bloatware from the branded ROM that I have.

try this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718684
download here: mega:#!bEVRVZpZ!goal7Ku3guATOe7O-376r2YcO4-RfzSx459lN6fK6Ic
it's an android 4.4.2 version tho, will try it myself too
edit: or this 5.1.1 android - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/slim-kiss-t3091848
LE: i've came to the conclusion after flashing 5 custom roms that original firmware is the best, unrooted... and you wanna get rid of the bloatware (like all of us do), just disable the unwanted apps

[7.1.1] LineageOS 14.1 kernel for Korean Note 2

Download link removed. Please head over to N7105 thread now as developer is releasing builds for E250S and E250K as well.

what specific ril patch should we use on shv-e250k models?

Option58 said:
How to install Android 6 on Korean Note 2 devices:
Big thanks to @Strawberry_dev, he actually made this possible. He is the one to make a kernel to convert N7015 AOSP ROMs to Korean ones. Thank him (and ROM devs), this is NOT my work! I just wrote this tutorial.
I strongly recommend this to everyone. Way better than Samsung 4.4. It literally saved me from a buying new device. It's really fast and up to date. Suitable for use in 2016.​

sir.do you have any links for the files that you used?especially the RIL patch. i did follow the instructions but I had problems downloading the ril patch. if you could upload it through mediafire or any cloud servers. that would be great. I guess what causes my SHV-E250K to bootloop is that the RIL patch was not flashed and it stucked on the Cyanogen Icon

That's very strange. Wifi should work. When I flash roms for N7100, N7105, etc. wifi works every single time.
The only thing that comes to my mind is that you weren't running latest firmware prior to installing this.

Forget Android 6 and go to Android 7. From Android 4.4, just follow the steps in the 1st thread, but do not install Widzard Kernel 2.7 & Gapps for 6.0. Then, download and dirty install any Android 7 ROM for N7105 and the corresponding GAPPS. Please note than Widzard Kernel does not seem compatible with Android 7. The Kernel included in the Android 7 ROM is enough for Korean Galaxy Note 2 (mine : SHV-E250S).
