Stable CM12 Android 5.0 Lollipop Firmware Available for T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3

Android 5.0 Lollipop firmware is being prepared for various Android powered smartphones and tablets. OTA updates will be rolled out starting from next month for various devices, among which we can mention the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (things are certain though as the update might be pushed out only in January 2015).

But, if you want to skip the wait, or if you want to spice things up a little bit, then you should know that an unofficial port of new CyanogenMod 12 custom ROM is ready for your T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3. CM12 is developed by those of xda-developers, so we should thank them for the new Android Lollipop custom firmware.

CM 12 is still under development stage which means that you might find different bugs and software related issues in the basic platform. According to the devs and to those who have already installed CM12 on T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3, the software is stable and can be flashed for a daily use (essential features such as Camera, WiFi, Call/Data, Bluetooth are working without problems). You can learn more about this custom ROM by checking the developer page from here.

CM12 represents a free aftermarket of Android 5.0 Lollipop OS and it is only based on stock firmware. The ROM comes with stock and extra features along with other apps that can customize, optimize and power up your Galaxy Note 3. Moreover, CM 12 represents the latest release of CyanogenMod system, which is powered by latest Lollipop software.

Now, updating your T-Mobile SGN3 with CM12 represents an unofficial operation and while completing the same you will lose the warranty of your phone. Moreover, for being able to flash the update you first have to root your smartphone and install a custom recovery image on it. If you want to test CM 12 I also recommend you to save the current ROM first (via Nandroid backup) as in this way, if the new Lollipop will be too buggy for a daily use, you will be able to easily restore the previous Android OS.
