You can do it for certain kernels. But there's no CUSTOM kernet out there YET for KITKAT.
For 4.3 and below you can do it.

There are already a custom kernal for kitkat made by Tamirda, the pheonix rom dev. but if fully stock and cannot OC
mainly to set SELinux set to permissive for OTA update.

Pheonix Kernal 1.0

my PC Odin cannot detect Note under download mode- trying to install MJ5 bootlaoder

i've reinstalled usb drivers, samsung kies can connect , changed cable, different usb port, different versions of odin,= still cannot

using win7 x64, phoneix v15.7, ME1 bootloader

Cable faulty? Change to another usb port?

Please check if your USB Debugging mode is ticked in Developer options.
but if you in Pheonix v15.7, it should be already enable

LoLLL I really love my N2 now Muahahaha

Note2 really give Samsung the biggest headache. Most refused to upgrade or switch to a rival brand.

Testing Mi3 now... going to dump Note2 to my mom.

Mi3 is nice, waiting for 64gb though, but its for my wife. I still prefer phone with s-pen.

Zzz. ND3 ROM giving me a lot of problems now. Video Player force close and Ti Backup not working, unable to backup. Maybe it's caused by dirty flash. Reflashing fresh DN3 ROM again. If the problem still persist, then sorry la, I am back to stock ROM.

Video player forced close can happen in 4.3 n 4.4 if u delete the .thumbnails folder and replaced it with .thumbnails file.

Personally I never quite like DN3. Too much functions at the expense of stability. At first is OK OK. Then the nightmare starts. Sometimes customers calls won't even come in. That was the last straw. Once restarts, all those emails, miss calls flooding in like crazy.

I don't think that's the problem. After I re-flash the ROM everything is OK. I didn't delete any thumbnails file on my SD Card.

Hmm. If problem still persist I will revert back to stock. Actually I like DN3 was those fancy features.

umm you mean DN3 or ND3?

DN3 = Ditto Note 3 Custom rom

ND3 = Kitkat 4.4.2 Firmware from Samsung


I suggest you guys try Mr.Luong kitkat Rom

DN3 la.
All those Note3 functions already make it unstable. Now add S5 features.

DN3 v5+ that still in progress will get aroma installer and can choose lite of full version of KitKat N3+S5
So you can opt some S5 stuffs you don't want.

I bored waiting for V5+ to be ready.. Trying Phoenix rom 18.8 for this weekend.

byebye note 2....gave to my mom lol

welcome xiaomi

Xiaomi belum sampai also. What tok you? I ask the seller dy. Reserved one unit from the scalper.

going for Phoenix? i was on it a few days ago, and the thing that makes me opt out is because it eats up a lot of ram.
I restart the phone, clean dalvik cache, freeze up a lot of unused apps, the ram usage is like 1GB to 1.2GB, for no reason and like open up a few social media app, it straight go to 85% of the total ram usage...

maybe this is my case, phoenix still a good one since the beginning!

one thing to ask, I have the S Health app, but the pedometer is not working, is it lake of hardware on my note 2? or how is the pedometer in S Health working?

Lack of hardware la. We don't have heart beat sensor like at the bottom of S5 lens or beside the LED flash light.

pedometer as in measuring how many steps you walk in a distance, guess nothing to do with the heart beat sensor i guess? since ported from S5, just wanna give it a quick try
