Pretty sure someone asked that already. Not sure where the thread is. But long story short, it would take a lot of work. There are no binaries for kitkat for the nexus 6. Sorry.

No there is no way. The phone was designed to work with lollipop and onward although some early builds had kit kat but no dumps.
Stick with lollipop, no point in going back not even with xposed. I'll have to be compatible

Gonna need a 4.2.2 kernel for sprint for it to be worth a dang... Could get it ported but without some major tweaking kernel wise it wouldn't be worth a dang most likely and you'd see a bunch of things broken... By time u fix most it'll be out for real...
Need the source for the 4.2.2 OTA at least to help the port...

Once the kernel is released they will probably do it themselves seeing that they used to support the sprint one. Really hoping sprint drops it soon....

As Noteboy states: There isnt going to be an official update from samsung.
The only way to get the KitKat experience is if you flash an AOSP-based ROM.
Unless somebody develops a kitkat based touchwiz rom; which might never happen.
Unfortunately never.

But isnt it against Kitkat's approach in the first place?
Wasn't kitkat for the old phones as well?
And today I held another phone in my hands for almost like 5 hours or something, after that my note felt like godlike phone.
Note is still good.
Maybe doesn't need kitkat at all but idea to make old phones work more efficient sucks then.

May be Google's approach but not Samsung 's.

If note 1 is ever getting a update, it's after 2014 April. Custom ROMs are always better, without bloatware and Knox and stuff. TouchWiz free!
Smack that thanks button If I helped!
Always make a nandroid backup before trying anything risky

Unfortunately Samsung has stopped development for the Galaxy Note. JB 4.1 is as good as it gets.

LG G Flex 4.4

So rumor has it right now that theres an update coming out for the G Flex next month in April that is supposed to include 4.4 and also knock code. Do you guys think that this is an update everyone should do? Or is it going to make it even harder for people trying to unlock the bootloader if we update?

I'm pretty sure the current root method won't work once the Flex is updated to KitKat. I know with the G2 a developer was able to make a stock KitKat Rom with Root quickly. Not sure the Flex will be so lucky since the Flex seems more locked down then the G2. I was a flash whore but I'm cool with stock for now.

Sprint is usually quick with updates so hopefully they push it out real soon
Gonna be awhile I'd imagine for US due to most of the carriers taking their good Ole time pushing them through. Just bought mine today and has 4.2.2, lol! I had 4.3 on my note 2. I wish I had a time machine like that, haha!

Just got a reply from LG that there will come official info for the EU/nordic model within a few weeks
For those of us that are rooted how will we get the ota update? Will it come to use and we can just do the update and still keep the root or do we have to unroot in order to update?

You would need to unroot. Do not try ota while rooted.

there haven't been any updates on the flex, so no one knows if you can do it or not..
the cardinal rule has always been NEVER do an OTA update if you are rooted..

according to all the internet rumor mills/sources, its coming sometime in the next 30 days.
since each carrier has their own "version" that they push, it could be alot sooner or alot later, depending on your carrier..

No one has cm12. You can tell just by going into android development and original development. There are no non-TW roms there.

I hear Samsung released sources for the galaxy s6. So maybe that'll all change sooner then later?

Won't change without first having an unlocked bootloader and root for everybody.

Holy ****. You're not serious are you? The only S6 variants with a locked bootloader are ATT and Verizon. And the only people that don't have root are the ones running 5.1.1. Stop spreading false information!
