[Q] Regarding Android 4.2.2 version SER region.

I have heard about Android 4.2.2 update for Galaxy Grand few days ago. And I have downloaded the firmware from SamMobile. Before i am going to flash this on my device, I would like to ask a few questions regarding the firmware.
1. Is there is any bugs on the official stock ROM ? ( Such as contacts, sensor or else, which i have readed somewhere around this forum )
2. Is it true that battery life drains almost double rate than normal ? ( This is a very serious issue for me )
Well, currently there is only two questions. I hope users here that upgraded to Android 4.2.2 official stock ROM can give me a feedback regarding the ROM. Sorry for my bad english, if there is no problem. I will direct flashing this ROM right away !

I updated my Grand earlier and to me I noticed that it became better than ever! Very fast and slim, bugs fixed, the battery life improved, the new options they added are awesome. . personally I do think it's just perfect! I wouldn't have asked for more

[Q] [q] Bell OTA + Lollipop + Custom Roms

Hey! I've been spending hours reverting my rom to stock and doing my OTAs to get to lollipop.
My phone is a Bell M8 with S-ON. I am currently up to 4.4.4 and about to do the Lollipop update. I am aware I should do sunshine on 4.4.3 but am broke right now so was just thinking of waiting until it works on Lollipop.
That being said, the current Bell OTA for Lollipop is version 4.20.666.1 (awesome numbers btw) and most roms say I need firmware 4.16.x.x.
My question is, will those roms work properly on this firmware? Or should I go back to 4.4.3 and use sunshine (I am impatient and want lollipop now, but stock roms suck.)
Thanks for the help!
edit: I found this advice in a rom thread
In future Rom releases, you may stick with your region’s firmware as long as that firmware is from the current released base, such as 5.0.1, 5.0.2, etc.
Firmware flashing is not required for every Rom update. Most of the time it is best to remain on your phone’s native firmware for best signal reception, battery life, and overall performance.

So does that mean as long as the rom is the same version 5.0.x that I should be fine?

Ya you should be fine tuning that firmware with the Rom... Can I ask you to also please upload the ota for us ...I've been looking for it all around

Where do I find it I haven't update yet.. I'd you can tell me where it is located I can extract and upload it.

I have a TWRP backup of it. Would that work or probably not since the firmware isn't there.

Nice. Tried LL (spanish mod) and so far so good.

I am running the Beta3 Version (including TWRP) and had to flash it 3 times until everything worked.
Its crazy sometimes, but after the first installation the internnal memory was not working.
After i did the same thing again. The internal memory was working but the bluetooth stopped working.
Now, after flashing it the 3rd time everythings seems to work fine.
Its important to have twrp because you need to flash the rooting zips and gapps.
but it works nice no further issues so far. ( I have a S3S)

[Q] updating to Lollipop 5.0.2 from Kitkat 4.4.4

Hello,
I am Dibyasan, I am a YU yureka user and recently i started learning about android platform and I am using my yureka to learn. I am using YU Yureka Kitkat 4.4.4 rooted and CWM Recovery Installed. I have some confusion regarding the update. Scenario Details:
My phone recieved the incremental OTA update(sim functionality and proximity fix) after rooting but i didn't yet updated or installed the update. The questions that I need some answers immediately are:
Should I flash the CM12 (5.0.2) update manually or over OTA?
Can I be able to flash the official Lollipop Rom (CM12) with my phone being rooted and running CWM recovery?
Is the ROM released is stable?
Some Experience about the phone:
After rooting I am using android tuner app to learn the system tweaks. And changing some governors helped me gain some battery juice when i needed it the most(Underclocking) . But theres a little issue i found recently after rooting whenever i connect the mobile data and simultaneously listen to some music on play i hear some crackling sounds both on external speaker and headset. Everything else is flawless.
120fps video recording would be icing on the cake
Why thinking of updating :
I think updating the system might fix the issue i mentioned above.
Expecting some help from you all guys. If I should update manually, a guide would be most appreciated. although I have a rough idea of flashing but i don't want to end up bricking the phone. So Guys Please help me ASAP.
Thanks In Advance

There is no N rom for this phone with battery life or stability even close to any stock KK or LP rom. All ROMs after LP are experimental and buggy to some degree. Also, since there is no official stock rom after LP, anything else would require a computer to unlock bl.

I would suggest flashing the MX ROM as far as I know this is the LP with best battery life now. It can be installed on locked bootloader and is as stable as stock LP.

Thanks for ur suggestion. Yes i know mx rom. Been reading the forum for a litle while. Worth to try

And not to forget that there are no security patches for stock LP since.... a long time. That is why a lot are using new roms although the battery life is not so great in comparison to stock roms.

Guys forget about MX rom! There is new ROM by munjeni out there. It is based on Lineage OS 14.1. It has decent battery life, good camera (almost like on stock), great stability, all security patches and is smooth like butter.

Thanks mate

yes, that rom from munjeni also looks the best for me. When I have time I will upgrade fom to Jaguar ROM to that one.

If you have stock KITKAT you CAN'T flash 5.1 or newer roms via recovery.
This is because from android L the partition scheme is changed, so you MUST use flashtool to flash first the stock LP ROM.
If you flash a LP rom via dual recovery in kitkat you'll brick your phone!
And I'm surprised that no one said it to you.
Once you flashed stock LP, rooted, installed REAL RECOVERY and unlocked bootloader, you can install any custom ROM.
If you don't unlock your bootloader you can flash ONLY STOCK BASED rom.
Cheers, and good luck. (I hope you didn't brick you phone)
