You should have installed this using custom Recovery.
Just flash this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/android-one-general/rom-stock-rom-t2993303
it should give you KK back that too with root.

see this is why I suggest people not to rush for lollipop, it's full of bugs at this moment. that's why it's not coming to Android One devices.

Dude... I've seen you on many posts telling people not to root or unlock bootloader... or not to flash stuff etc etc... Why would you come to xda if you dont want any of that? use your phone normally and wait for OTAs if you are so scared... yes flashing things like a moron will lead to soft bricks and bootloops. but those are basics of debugging any device... if one doesnt know how to recover from a soft brick then he/she shouldn't flash things to their device. Yes nowadays playing (and messing) with our devices is really easy, so noobs tend to make mistakes... I have too in the past. But if you stay scared then you dont belong on XDA

As for your problem, if you have root on 5.1 right now... go to playstore and download TWRP manager... (this is because TWRP is more stable, and supports all ROMs from 4.4.4 to 5.1, unlike philz touch or CWM) otherwise you can manually download the .img file and flash it via cmd prompt on PC. (If you dont know how to do that just let me know... I'll guide you through the process)
then download the flashable zip of your choice (I suggest official CyanogenMod11 ... I use it as my daily driver and confirm that it is stable with everything working)
Here is the link
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=sprout
additionally you need to download GAPPS from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
Copy the two downloaded files to your external sd card (remember the path)
then boot into recovery and flash (install) them... then reboot to system and voila!! you are back on 4.4.4 !!
PS. I advise against going back to stock 4.4.4 because there are some added precautions you must take, otherwise you risk losing your imei , and wont be able to make calls/sms/mobile internet. Switching to CM is much safer and easier... plus gauranteed official (and faster than google) updates thanks to our beloved dev Varun Chitre

funny, I didn't tell anyone to not to do it, I told if someone worries about the warranty then don't do it, some people ain't even aware of that.

Well yes.... Even when DEVs put huge warnings and disclaimers on their stuff, people just tend to ignore them. My post's intention was not to take a dig at you. I saw a couple of your posts on other threads, which I felt were a tad bit negative regarding modding our devices

Download the factory image of 4.4.4 and place it in ADB folder ( if u have not setup adb, search in Google ), now take a backup of your current os via recovery ( just in case ), next wipe cache partition, factory reset. Now connect to PC, flash the factory image through ADB. [emoji2]

Easiest way to downgrade is to flash cwm backup of kitkat stock rom via custom recovery.If you had made clockworkmod backup of your rom before upgrading then just restore it from recovery after wiping data,system,boot and cache partition,there is no need for pc and Sp flash tool. If you have no backup then try to look for it on xda,and flash, it works without any issue.

Can you shed some light on this as to how will CM11 get official OTA updates(I presume) from google?

No. CyanogenMod is a different organisation altogether. They have those Jenkins(server) which builds for officially supported devices daily and uploads them (which will be downloaded later by the users as OTA)

Well... Google doesn't make cyanogenmod ... And official support for CM11 is dropped.... Use CM12, or the last CM11 NIGHTLY... Or choose an AOSP based Rom

Can someone help me? I have a nexus 5 running marshmallow and want to get back to kick at 4.4.4......any advice.....I already have twrp recovery installed...and it is a rooted device.

Nope, this is only for Android One devices.

Is it useful to use a custom kernel on a MIUI ROM ?

Hi, due to multiple problems on Lollipop ROMs on MI3, I finally came back to the latest sMIUI ROM.
I know that the new Kernels can be applied to KitKat ROMs, but is there benefits for it? I mean, will it bring back the 5.x problems like HDR not working, etc?
And more technically, how can those Kernels are finally able to work on both 4.4 and 5.1 now, and not from the beginning?
Thank you in advance.

HDR is now working in custom Roms

Ah, good news! But HDR isn't the reason I left Lollipop, I kept having network and touchscreen problems :
- Impossible to send or receive MMS (no matter what APN or setting I use)
- Impossible to access to some services or update applications data over 3G (couldn't download a file on Google Drive, couldn't see a video on YouTube, couldn'd refresh posts on 9gag...)
- And sometimes, the touchscreen was buggy, it didn't responded well, so I had to lock-unlock the phone a few times before it start working properly
So for now I'll stay on MIUI KitKat, but I would like to tweak it so it will be at its best

Sorry to hijack the thread, but can someone recommend a good LP kernel that is worth flashing with the new MIUI7 and/or the Xiaomi.eu MIUI rom?

First thing is you cannot use a lp kernel in kitkat rom such as miui and smiui. But you can use custom kernels like GOD'S KERNEL, MOSHI etc. Search the forum.

My power button is loose and I use zeurionx, I think it's compatible with miui and aosp. It has wake gestures dt2w and s2w.

AOSP Roms

Hello! I want to switch from Sony Lollipop 5.1.1 to a stable AOSP based rom. I tried CyanogenMod 12.1 and AOSP Jaguar but I experienced screen freezes and general lag that makes me to go back to stock rom. It is a problem with my device or it is a problem with AOSP roms? What can I do in case that my device has this problem?

hi i tried all cm based roms and oasp roms and i can confirm you that all of them have screen freezes. There aren't any solutions expect to switch to stock based roms.

Yes. You can still have root and TWRP on the stock rom. Just follow the guide so you don't get bootloop.

You gain google dialer, google contacts, google assistant, xposed, full backups, identifying wakelocks, custom kernels and systemwide ad-blocking to name a few big things you can do just on rooted oxygenOS.

Just root it, the sooner, the better.
If you decide to do it later on, you'll have to backup everything since unlocking the bootloader implies wiping the data.

Custom rom charging issue on the oxygen

hey...i use a mi max 2(oxygen)....i got into custom roms a few months back although now i am running stock miui....cus every rom i installed booted up but i wasnt able to charge my phone at all on aosp roms and miui roms ....only xiaomi.eu worked for me...can anyone help me??

What do you mean by chargjng issues? Explain in full detail. Do you mean battery? Did you swap out cables, adapters. Lots of aftermarket cables are rubbish. Is it original battery? is the charging connection dirty or defective? Does it need cleaning?

The aosp rom versions cannot be charged unless they go back to twrp mode to charge them....

You have to follow all the instructions to install custom roms correct. If not you might have charging issues.

I also had the same problem when installing rom with android versions from 8.0 to 10.0. Before that I used to install android 10 on my device and it works normally. But recently after from MIUI rom back to AOSP it was unable to charge unless I booted into recovery.
