Note 3 4.4.2 KitKat: changelog and How to install

Well, after leaking an Android 4.2.2 test build for the Galaxy S4, our Galaxy Note 3 members felt a little bit disappointed. To cheer them up, we have obtained a brand new Android 4.4.2 test firmware – N9005XXUENA6 - for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005).

This is one of the *final* Android 4.4.2 KitKat test builds for the Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005), that means nothing will be included or excluded in future builds of Android 4.4 for the giant phablet, except a few bug fixes and improvements here and there. We expect Samsung to officially start rolling out the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update to the Galaxy Note 3 in 1/2 weeks, as always the update will begin in phases so it will obviously take months till it reaches all countries and carriers.

The changes are very similar to the Galaxy S4′s KitKat update. There are some minor UI changes, status bar icons have been changed from green to all new KitKat white. Performance has significantly been increased with the KitKat update, even unlocking the device is much faster than before, and benchmark scores are just off the charts. There are some improvements to the lockscreen, as well. Samsung has implemented a camera shortcut on the lockscreen and while playing music the album art goes full screen in lockscreen.
