Ofcourse you can i've run cm11 while I was still on 4.1.2 rooted stock rom.Root your 4.4 KK TW rom first, make a backup plus efs backup (if not already made) then clean wipe, flash the CM11 rom dont reboot your phone, flash the gapps then reboot system.Done.

[Q] How to upgrade to 4.3? N7100

Hello all i saw many peoples have 4.4.4 or 5.0 on their phones and i wanna update my kernel and rom to newer, i have currently 4.4.2 N7100XUFNG3.

OTA
Hello and thank you for using Q&A,
you should be able to upgrade your Note 2 via OTA function in settings, if you did not install any custom kernels or custom recovery. If your phone is completly stock, check Settings - About Phone - SystemUpgrade. There you will find an update for Androıd 4.3. If you want a newer version of Android, you need to install a custom ROM like CyanogenMod. Then you will have Androıd 6.0.1 with newest security patches on your phone.
Check here for Androıd 6.0.1 ROMs:
Galaxy Note II Android Development
Kind regards

Need Kernel, ROM, Android Advice/Schooling! <3

First let me say that I am brand spanking new to these forums. I've some experience rooting before, but it has been years... Last phone I had rooted was the HTC Evo 3D (I still have that cool sonfa) which was years ago. Been out of the loop as far as things go. I decided to mess around with my old Note 4 (it's really not that old, I love this beast), so here I am. I've unlocked the bootloader and confirmed that it's rooted via root checker, but it's still in the stock 5.0.1 firmware... BORING... So I want to install a custom ROM and debloat this thing... I do have some general questions.
1) Any links to safely upgrading my note4 from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 ? (not even sure if this is necessary, you'll see what I'm getting at later in this post)
2) Bootloader is unlocked, phone is rooted, that's it... Do I need to flash a new kernel before trying to flash a custom ROM? Again, are they version specific as to what android I'm using?
3) ROM's and Firmware... I see ROM's listed here that have 6.0.1 next to them, does that mean that I need Android 6.0.1 to install this ROM?
Example: [ROM] [6.0.1] [UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 13.0 [Jul 24, 2016]
That's basically all my Q's, thanks again for any help/guidance I can get here.

SM-N7505 non touchwiz ROMs

I have a neo SM-N7505 that I'm using to carry me by til cyber monday, after my nexus 6 shamu was stolen.
I'm looking for a stable to semi semi stable stock android ROM, as I dislike TouchWiz like a CM11, CM12 13 ports, AOSP etc but can't determine what is safe to flash with all the different variants of Neo's. Are they really all the same phone with different sku's because of the market they are sold in?
Would download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hlte be safe to use?
It came to me with Root in build JSS15J.N7505ZHUAND1 (4.3 kitkat) and I installed TWRP 2.8.7.0.
Any help would me much appreciated, I've done my best to look at stickys threads and google around but I'm running into some broken links or out of date info and I don't want to brick it.

Hi,
I recommend you to download the AICP ROM or the CM 12.1 ROM as they are available for our 4G model. The link you want to try is about the Note 3 LTE.

Rooting Galaxy Note 8 wifi N5110 and updating to Nougat or Android 7.0?

Hello everyone. Please forgive me but I am a super newbie in regards to rooting and terminologies. I have a Galaxy Note 8 N5100, wifi version. It has the original firmware 4.4.2 and I would like to upgrade it to Nougat 7.0. My son is having trouble playing new games on it so I theorized that it could be due to its age. Before I buy a brand new tablet I figured I would try to see if updating the N5100 would help.
I have googled and saw this link and it seems fairly easy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2626778
Is that the correct thing to go through the process? And to update to Nougat I saw this:
http://www.android-nougat.tech/2017/03/samsung-galaxy-note-8-0-wi-fi-5253.html
Or if there is a better/easier way I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Wish I could help. I'm just getting back into this tablet myself.I'm sure someone will show up with info.

Hi! I was planning to do exactly the same thing -- upgrade my trusty Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 to Android Nougat -- and from scouring the XDA forums re this device, it seems to me that we have two popular options (based on the comments and thanks-ratings).
Here's the link to the more popular one, it's been renamed LineageOS 14.1 by the developer(s) but is based on Nougat 7.x:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...m-unofficial-lineageos-14-1-gt-n51xx-t3533329
And if for some reason you don't like the name of that one (or for any other reason, just to have an alternative), there's another popular one called RR (short for Resurrection Remix OS). It is based on Nougat 7.1.1_r25 and nightlies of LineageOS 14.1:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...t/rom-resurrection-remix-5-8-2-rel-1-t3571116
I'm about to upgrade to LineageOS now (wish me luck). The reason I'm choosing LineageOS is 'coz it seems to be more popular and is ported to more devices.

Hi I own the same device as you and I flashed the RR rom to my tablet it was really easy, you need to root your device first and then install TWRP (Team win recovery project) after that follow the instructions on the rom

If you are looking to use a more current rom with Marshmallow or Nougat, then yes you will lose touchwiz and probably most or all s-pen features. AOSP roms like Lineage and Resurrection Remix are based on stock android, but sometimes they're the only way to keep an old device current. Touchwiz roms are usually adapted from original firmware or ports from similar devices. Since this device stopped receiving updates at Kitkat, the most up-to-date touchwiz roms you'll find for the Galaxy Note 8.0 will be Kitkat.
