So far, all 2013 flagship Android devices have already been added to CyanogenMod: the LG G2, the HTC One, the Galaxy S4, the Nexus 5 and the Moto X. However, there is one notable post that has not been included in the download page yet and this is Samsung's powerful and enormous Galaxy Note 3. According to reports from the custom ROM's official Google+ account, it's about to change.

The CyanogenMod team has published its software source code for different variants of the Note 3 to GitHub. The ROM code and kernel is up for U.S. carriers and the international models (although Verizon and AT&T versions are still absent most likely because of its insistence on locked bootloaders for their handsets. The device is not officially supported as of the moment but people with the right skills can build the ROM from source, if needed. It is likely that the Galaxy Note 3 CyanogenMod ROMs will hit the main download page in the next few weeks and hopefully as an Android 4.4 KitKat build (CM11). Meanwhile, owners with supported devices can just try some of the other custom ROMs available at different user forms online.

Owners of International Qualcomm-powered Galaxy Note 3 can also check out the latest official leaked ROM from SamMobile. There they can find a purported test build for the Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 Android 4.4.2 KitKat update (the SnapDragon 800 model with LTE). The leak came only 2 days after the Galaxy S4 got its Android 4.4 build.

Update changes include a tweaked TouchWiz visual theme with service, white battery, clock, Wi-Fi and other icons). There is also a camera shortcut found on the lockscreen. Users now have access to the experimental ART (Android Runtime) and benchmark scores are now generally improved.

The N9005XXUENA6 firmware is for the SM-N9005 variant only and generally means models sold outside the United States for LTE carriers. It may be several months before American carriers push Samsung 4.4 builds. If you are upgrading a stock handset, remember that flashing through Samsung's Odin deskstop software will wipe data. Root users will be unable to access root-enabled apps and if it doesn't deter you, SamMobile has the tools, files and instructions for you.
