This update (KITKAT)will break the external sd on all but stock and some google apps.
Here is a link on how to fix.
Note: Requires Root
-This is for the GS4 not the note 3, so READ through it! some/most of it applies to the note3.

-This Fix will not fix all the apps that have problems. Although it has fixed all the apps I use, I have tested some it doesn't work with. For those apps, you are going to have to wait for compatability updates.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2607215

[FIX][LEAKED 4.4]External Sdcard Mount Perms fix

EDIT: At this point of time quite a few apps have been updated. So many in fact that you may not even notice the new changes. If there is still a few apps your having dramas with, and you want to stay 0x0 (un-rooted), you could give this a go.

result of flashing

I just flashed the N900XXUDNA6_N900SERDNA6_N900XXUDNA1_HOME.tar.md5 through Odin v3.09 (4.4.2).

My previous ROM was CRISKELO V5.
I just connected in Download mode the phone to the PC. and from Odin I flashed.
After restart, the phone updated the apps, and started everything.

Now I'm waiting for CF Auto Root and CWM to be able to use standard apps like Greenify...

I see the files on my SD card but cannot make copy/delete operations with the files... - after rooting I'll apply the recommended patch

ADD: Camera is able to keep photos on external SD card. and Galery was able to delete the photo from this SD card...

USAGE: I use all the apps which do not require root. they work smoothly. no issues so far.
As well Gear SW is working fine.
I'll update in case of any issues

What about the option to switch to ART in developer settings? The N9005 Poland rom didn't have that AFAIK.

KitKat N900 XXUDNA6 vs N9005 XXUENA6

If we compare the files inside Rom's we see the Bootloader from N900 sboot.bin like on Note 2 N7100 (Now 4.3 and Knox).
Very different.

See attach's:

One thing I noticed - The shortcut to enable torch by long pressing the Volume Up button seems to be gone. Creating a shortcut to that activity using quickshortcutmaker works, but when you tap that, it just crashes.

Also, no option to enable ART.

Lockscreen options to change to unlock effect and ink colour aren't enabled and are grayed out.

UPDATE: I installed TWRP (thanks to advice of Dr. Ketan) and then Super SU zip.
Now I have root, and all my Xposed things are working properly.
Now I'll try to solve the issue with SD card...

finally everything is working

finally everything is fine:
steps I did (before I had CRISKELO rom v5 ML1):

Flashed through Odin v 3.09 the 1 file.
then flashed the TWRP
then installed Super SU 1.91 zip from TWRP

Stock ROM is OK, Root is OK - all apps installed before are working properly.
only one issue was - access to SD card.

then this I solved too thanks to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2607215

Result: I have 4.4.2 stock, with Root, with all apps working, and with access to SD card.
the ROM is fast, smooth.
