Official kitkat for N9005

XEO Region has 4.4.2, just read tweet from samsung update.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app

Finally update to Official Android 4.4.2 KitKat ROM. This is Poland edition.

Firmware: N9005XXUENA6
Country: Poland
Version: Android 4.4.2 - KitKat
Product Code: XEO
PDA: N9005XXUENA6
CSC: N9005OXXENA5
MODEM: N9005XXUENA2

Cauntion:

• Phone Bootloader Update must tick at PC Odin3 v3.09, without updating the bootloader, the phone won't success boot to recovery for completing the flashing.
• Not suitable to try out if you plan on virgin after root without tripping the KNOX as since MJ7 bootloader will trip the KNOX once root.
• Seems no root for the moment as well, the root for leak S4 ROM not working as XDA member post, I haven't try that yet. (Edit: Root already available)

Overall Impression:

• Smooth! It is far better than Android 4.3, I am dirty flash.
• It seems system occupied lesser RAM now, the availability now is 2.71GB
• I love the new lockscreen.
• New lockscreen music playback is cool also, just the cover art a bit blur due to big expand.
• Finally Samsung remove the ugly Green color battery icon.

Q&A:

• What to do if I forgot tick Phone Bootloader Update and now stuck at accessing recovery screen - Take out the battery to turn of the phone, boot back to download mode and reflash the ROM and remember tick Phone Bootloader Update.
• Is Full Wipe Required? - No and I never do that, if ain't break don't Wipe. Only wipe the phone if phone act abnormal. I did like this since I own 1st Android phone - Google Nexus One.

• Is rooting in KitKat trip the Knox - Yes due to new bootloader.
• Is this Poland KitKat support Hong Kong N9005 - No, Hong Kong N9005 is not friendly with others country N9005, cannot cross flashing.
• What to do if I accidentally flash it under Hong Kong N9005 and soft brick now - The only solution now is flashing custom recovery for KitKat (Knox trip due to custom recovery) and later flash SweetROM v7 KitKat custom ROM.
• Can I remain Knox 0x0 with root for KitKat - Yes if you still under old bootloader (No if you already at KitKat or bootloader at MJ7 or newer) and follow step here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49501057&postcount=389 or visit here for more in details step, 1st page post 9 - https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3099271

Here's a quick review:

-Everything seems much faster, unlocking, settings, apps and pretty much everything - yet to notice any stutter anywhere.
-New lockscreen options, and music player on lockscreen etc.
-Status bar white and defaults to pure black instead of dark grey when not transparent.
-More RAM! 2.7GB RAM available now!
-Camera seems to have less problems in low lite and less blur - could be placebo.
-Pen Window supports more apps and is much much faster!
-No ART. (probably because it's experimental so far)
-Excellent battery life (only did 1 drain from 100% so not sure if it gets even better).
-Interestingly not heating as much while offering better performance.
-Security Policy and security framework/settings redone - now allows manual updating and has it's own menu.

Probably more I missed.
