what i can see... most 5.0 ROMs are still in alpha and not really stable yet.
so not trying.
anyway, ended up rooting the phone yesterday since i could not find a way to flash recovery without the stock one reinstalling itself.
then went on to flash Liquid Smooth. dun really know why... but just don't seem to be my cuppa. it seems ok but could not find options for infinite scroll on homepage (something i really like). i know... can use other launchers but to me, that defeats one of the purpose of installing custom rom. some other little things includes : advanced options hanging on me and causing FC, hard to get to settings when i pull down notification (i prefer some ROMS that allows 'immediate' access to SETTINGS)...
wanted to try DN4 since it seems kinda impressive but when i saw the file size (1.6GB, i think), i decided not to try... yet.
so, gonna go with CM11 Nightly and see how. had previously tried it on S2 and while it did not really have everything i wanted, it was still decent.
what are you guys on?

Oh!!! NO!!!!!! Boeffla stopped renewing Kernel for S3 4.3.....
Service Stable releases !!! Hi all,
finally there is the time to call a good beta a stable version.
And this is what I am doing now for all 3 Samsung kernels: Version 5.4 stable (for Samsung Android 4.3) Version 6.1 stable (for Samsung Android 4.4.2 ported roms) Version 7.1 stable (for Samsung Android 4.4.4 ported roms) Only change compared to latest betas is the update of the internal su to version 2.40.
Important note: All three kernels are now put on status "maintenance".
This means, they will not receive any new features anymore. They will however be maintained in case significant updates to base sources or ramdisks are required. Same goes of course for really significant bugs when they should appear.

managed to download the DN4 ROM last night... had put off earlier due to the large size compared to other ROMS... DN4 was like 1.4GB compared to 100+ for LiquidSmooth, etc... having used DN3 rom on Note2 before, i was kinda skeptical since the DN3 left a bad after taste. but good news... first impression... not bad. did not detect those little quirks that i used to see on DN3. but its too soon to tell since i only flashed it this morning and the phone is without SIM card, so not much to test. i noticed the ROM came baked with some extra apps... so, deleted them. it seems to come with Boeffla v2.1.
