A new custom ROM based on Google's latest mobile operating system has been released, allowing the users of Samsung Galaxy Note 3 to install Android 4.4.4 KitKat update on their smartphone.

According to the list of specs on GSM Arena for the Galaxy Note 3, the latest and official update made available for the phablet is Android 4.4.2 KitKat. But thanks to custom Android ROM developers, a new firmware called C-ROM has been released for Samsung's 2014 phablet.  

Particularly, users can install Android 4.4.4 KitKat update on Samsung Galaxy Note 3 using the C-ROM which is compatible only for the SM-N900 model of the device, which uses the Exynos 5 octa-core processor.

Furthermore, the C-ROM is based on Android Open Source Project or AOSP.
