Blekota Note 4 ROM Android 4.4.4 KitKat for Galaxy S3

While all users are waiting for Android 5.0 Lollipop to hit their devices, some developers are working very hard to optimize and create functional ROMs for old devices. For example, the Samsung Galaxy S3 is the most popular phone that Samsung has ever created.

Unfortunately, Samsung never updated the Galaxy S3 to Android 4.4 KitKat. According to the company, KitKat Touchwiz firmware was too heavy and bloated for the S3 to run it properly, that’s why the phone never received an official KitKat update.

Even though the phone never got the update from Samsung, it got plenty of KitKat ROMs from developers. No, those ROMs are not based on AOSP or CyanogenMod because everyone knows that they run fine on the S3. Developers have cooked 4.4.4 KitKat ROMs based on Touchwiz with Galaxy S5 and Note 4 features.

Developers have proved Samsung wrong. Even though these ROMs are based on Touchwiz and are full of Galaxy Note 4 features, they run just fine and RAM management is excellent.
