The report on Android Geeks noted that the PA 4.6 Beta 5 is "one of the most stable releases," which could also mean that the Final Paranoid Android 4.6 ROM might already be in the horizon.

Adventurous Samsung Galaxy S3 users who know how to install Android 4.4.4 KitKat update via custom ROM can access the firmware from the Paranoid Android Legacy AOSPAL ROM webpage.

Since the Android 4.4.4 KitKat Paranoid Android 4.6 Beta ROM is not an official firmware release for the smartphone, Samsung Galaxy S3 users are advised to be extra punctilious during the installation.

To avoid power interruption issues when installing Android 4.4.4 KitKat update via PA 4.6 Beta 5 ROM, make sure that the battery level is at least 80 percent.
