New firmware P900KXUANG2 SM-P900

Did you get it flashed? What Android version is it? I'd flash it myself but I have a P907A, not P900. :/

I didn't stay on it for very long. I restored to my backup a few minutes after confirming it was still 4.4.2. I would have had to do a full factory reset to really see if there were significant changes, as Odin kept my /data untouched. I might play around with it some more when I have more time.

I'm curious too but doubtful that there'd be anything significant. From 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 and then to 4.4.4 there weren't any notable cosmetic changes on stock android to begin with other than tweaks to dialer and contacts (which don't matter on thsi tablet). Most of the change comes in the form of bug fixes and security patches I would think.
I suppose its possible samsung did their own touchwiz tweaks at the same time but my experience has been that they enjoy letting current owners envy those lucky enough to purchase newer devices. A classic example is how Note 10.1 2014 edition owners had to wait until well after the Note Pro release before they could get their Kitkat update. A manufacturer never wants a software update for an existing device to steal the thunder from a newly released piece of hardware.

We'll see if other regions get this update. If all regions get ANG2, then I might reset my tablet and start from scratch with that firmware version. I should have checked to see if it had fixed that nasty Chromecast systemUI crash.

Anyone know how to stop the update notifications without taking the update? Also, anyone taken it while rooted and kept root?
I've disabled Software Update in Titanium Backup (there's two entries). Not sure if its working but I'm on build NC5 and have not had any update notifications.
its rootable via cf auto root.
This is the korean version. Not sure what the updates are...but my download mode is mostly in korean now. When factory reset the default language is korean.
I had a problem getting root. Glad others got root. It has a new_to_me real time scanning program. I declined when asked.

Android L?
Does anyone know if we'll be getting an update to Android 5? I have a suspicion the Note Pro will sadly be forgotten and left out in the cold by Samsung. I'm only really interested in the lower audio latency in Android L really; using FLStudio Mobile or Caustic 3 on the 12 inch screen would be pretty cool but the lag still present in Kitkat is a bit of a deal killer.

We'll probably get Android L/5.0 but it might take a while after it is released to Nexus devices. This isn't just a point update, but a major revision. This means much more testing and debugging for Samsung. The wifi only devices should get it first though.

Google has not even announced the official release for Android 5. How would anyone know when the 12.2 is getting it? The Note Pro is within the 18 month cycle of the release of the new android version so per their agreements with Google they will release 5.0 for this device.
I didn't want to know an exact date, just if we'd be getting it eventually, if there's an agreement in place with Google that's all good.

Does wifi seem any more stable on the NG2 update?

4.4.4 brings the new A.R.T virtual machine and AOT compilation which brings very notable performance upgrade on my LG G3.
Can't say I noticed any issues to be improved on with WiFi, but I'm getting 2-3 randome reboots a day now.

I have issues with it dropping connection 10ft from my router, not wanting to scan for new networks... the whole shebang. Sometimes toggling wifi helps, other times I have to reboot the whole thing. And with no dialer I have no clue how to get into the advanced options to turn off power saver like on the note 3.
