In Past we have seen Nexus devices receiving the Factory Images of Android 5.0 Lollipop, along with LG G3 and Moto X 2014, while some other devices received the update via AOSP sources, some received the update via OmniROM 5.0 and most of the flagship or non-flagship device are running Android 5.0 Lollipop via CyanogenMod 12, which is by far the most stable ROM. Just like Android 5.0 based ROM on Moto G, almost every basic thing doesn’t work in these custom ROMs for now.However, Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has only Random Reboots while running CyanogenMod 12.

As I mentioned above, CyanogenMod 12 is now available for Galaxy Note 3 and you can install it by following our guide below. A lot of functions are working in it.
