Any luck downgrading from 5.0.1 back to kitkat 4.4.4??

Is there someone managed to do it. I already read a lot of post regarding downgrading to 4.4.4, some says theres no chance to downgrade if you upgraded OTA but some managed to downgrade. So can really downgrade back to 4.4.4?? I'm really confused right now. Lollipop on my device has a lot of issues. Battery drains much faster even on idle mode it sucks up my battery. Game run much lagger than before. Already did factory wipe and clear cache 3x. I never experienced this when i was on Kitkat 4.4.4 and i really want to downgrade.. many of the user who tried to downgrade (Note Edge) have their phone soft bricked due to bootloader or something..

So is there a possibility that i can downgrade back to 4.4.4?? Thanks!

Sending my rooted and xposed phone back to verizon.

What would be the best way to reset this thing to be ready to send back? Would I need to KDZ it or just use the superuser root removal process? Thanks in advance.

Lost all of my HTC widgets. Any idea how to get them back?

Hey all. This obviously has something to do with the HTC Sense Home. Got the recent update, which seemed to break the Sense Toolbox app drawer grid size expansion. I made a backup of it with Titanium then uninstalled it to install the prior version. That's when all the HTC widgets disappeared. No clock/weather widget, music widget, WiFi/Bluetooth/Hotspot, none of them.

I reinstalled the backup I made, but it didn't get them back. I also uninstalled it through Titanium and downloaded and installed it from the Play store, and that didn't help either.

So here I am, without any HTC widgets. Is there anything short of a factory reset that will remedy this? There should just be a file or two that I should be able to drop in somewhere you'd think.

How To: Switch back to Android KitKat to get awesome storage space again.

Hi Friends,

I was extremely annoyed with Lollipop Upgrade as I didnt had enough storage space after the upgrade.. Removing system apps also didn't help. I was looking for some KitKat Roms and I found this.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/desi...1-0-0-t2953661

This is one of the best KitKat Roms available and works amazing on my Device. (Dual Sim Version)

FYI: This is NOT MY CREATION and I would like to give 100% Credit to the Author.

Hope this Helps :)

Broken back glass

Anyone know how the back glass comes off? Had it in my back pocket and I shattered it.

Note 5 day one, back already cracked

Day one at work and I already cracked the back of my note 5. I've watched videos of the teardown and it seems straight forward to replace, I'll just have to wait for some to come available.

Can i go back to cm11s this way?

Hi! My question is lame, i know.. But here it goes anyway, i couldn't find a simple and direct answer..
Is less than a week that i have this phone, and i've been reading a lot of guides of how to rollback to cm11s.. the thing is i've flashed the latest CM12S signed zip ota through CM Recovery, everything is fine as i'm testing it right now..
My question is: if i want to go back to CM11S (in the case that i don't like CM12S or have some bugs), can i just wipe data / factory reset and cache in CM Recovery, and then flash the cm11s signed zip?
I haven't rooted or unlocked bootloader, is it relatively easy from what i read around here.. but i wondered if i had to go through all those steps (unlock bootloader, custom recovery, and then flash) or just doing the steps mentioned before will work just fine..
Is it better to fastboot flash or through custom recovery is fine also?

Thanks in advance!

PD: I'm also asking what do you think about some other 5.1.1 Lollipop ROM, custom kernel, etc.. I'm kind of a flashaholic and i would be able to install the custom recovery if would be really worth it :D
PD2: sorry for the bad english, i'm from argentina

Got a note 5 - back to note 4!!!!

Being an avid user of the Note series for last many years I went ahead and got myself a Note 5....I knew there were going to be some hardware related compromises (no IR port, no micro SD, no removable battery) but still made the jump looking forward to newer tech and software experience.
Well within a couple of days of using it I have been forced by Samsung to go back to Note 4 as the Note 5 is a real disappointment in many respects on usage front too.
Here is my list of disappointing aspects of note 5...things which Note 4 has and for whatever reason Samsung decided to omit from Note 5.....I think they really messed up this time around and will see a dive in sales unless they do something to fix this mess soon....may be Note 5S????

HARDWARE RELATED OMISSIONS
1. No IR Port
2. No Micro SD Card
3. No removeable battery

SOFTWARE RELATED OMISSIONS
1. Dialer - does not find contacts that are there in the phone book....when I use smart dial to look for them.
2. Dialer - shows all contacts matching the smart dial combo in alphabetical order not frequent ones first....note 4 showed frequent ones first.
3. Alarm - snooze had many options - how many minutes how many times....this only has 5 minutes 3 times
4. Email - Emails had option not to show any previews and only show sender and subject in Note 4....this has no such option
5. Email - were segregated date wise in Note 4....here they are all clubbed together
6. SMS - names with similar ending digits in the number are getting mixed up....Eg: someone with number 1234567890 and someone with number 2234567890 are showing as same contact
7. Facebook calendar doesn't sync....Note 4 used to sync facebook contact bdays to my calendar. this doesn't.
8. Bloomberg for business not working....keeps force closing
9. S-Health step count not showing on lock screen - it used to show in Note 4
Many others...

SAMSUNG - please fix all of the above ASAP else your note 5 is going to be a massive flop.....everyone looking to upgrade from note 4 to note 5 please consider above list and then decide what you wish to do.

Going back to stock

Ok guys, so far there have been some ROM improvements but no real aosp roms for our variant. I knew I should have went gsm instead. So I'm going to drop by tmobile tomorrow and see what they can do about putting me into a LG G4. I wish Bliss would release something for our variant.

Replacing back glass void verizon warranty?

I got a tiny about 1" crack in my back glass. I've been having some charging issues with my edge. If I replace the back glass, will it void the verizon warranty?

Real wood slickwraps with the curved back???

Hey there XDA freinds. I'm REALLY wanting to get the Bamboo Slickwrap for my white Note 5, but from my experience with putting the bamboo skin on the Nexus 6, the real wood does not play well with curves. I ended up getting it on the curved back of the N6 good with a hair dryer. Got the sides heated up and extra sticky and it held down pretty good. Just wondering if anybody has tried on the Note 5 yet. Its mostly flat, but the edges are curved so much that I fear it will be impossible to get the real wood skins on without breaking them or having them pop up.

Any feedback is appreciated.

I have gone back to stock because of the lag in all the custom 5.x ROM's, update it?

I am slowly getting the OTA updates, I am at 4.4.4. now, I am hesitant to move on to the 5.* ROM's.

Are the sluggishness issues also affecting the stock roms?
Should I fully update to 5.1.1?

Suggestions for tempered glass back protector?

I bought a generic one off eBay, but it is too thick for me. It is thicker than my nillkin screen protector and it interferes with the gripping of the phone
