I know it's been asked time and time again but what is the best rom for the note 3?
Basically I want great battery life while still keeping the S pen features.
I'm currently running the Polish lollipop rom which works fine. I great improvement on battery life compared to kitkat. The only problem I have is that it just doesn't run well with my pebble watch. It's a known thing that the Bluetooth connection will drop on smart watches. Running kitkat and it's fine just the battery life is terrible.
Use of my pebble watch is vital for me so until this "bug" is sorted I will have to look elsewhere for a good fully working rom.
What are your suggestions?
Cheers
I prefer my living room lol

I like the bathroom...
Sometimes I use it on my room, or living room. Rarely I use on bathroom. But I found hotel room was best.
Thanks for the reply folks. You've been a great help ?
Hey. Serious answer here. To get Pebble to work you need lollipop leak no. 2. Currently the only ROM I know running that leak is aryamod 3.1+. Running 4.0 at this time and my Pebble runs great! I think all cm12 versions runs great with Pebble too.
Any more questions?

Point is that its a pain to sort through all pages and links, and a bit confusing to find the latest build/ least bugs/ patches etc. IMO I think OP should update his first post accordingly.
yeah, I think it's much better to open a thread for each ROM. It's a huge mess and often you don't know to what ROM the comments refer to.
btw, is this rom multi-language?
And what does "quite stable" mean?
I recommend flashing this rom. It's way more solid than the miui dev roms.
+1 for having a new, separate thread to discuss this rom specifically. Not sure why that guy is complaining.

Last, 7.12, global stable rom is solid like a rock, running it for 3rd day. Xposed works as well, only modded , not usual one. So double check before writing.

Looks like it is Multi-Language.
All these custom Roms are pretty similar. Made by Chinese Dev "bule" with camera fix by Russian "nofearnohappy" from 4pda.
The miui rom keep disconnect and reconnect me when im on wifi and its really annoying cuz im playing online game so yeah custom rom for me

Yes.
What about the mic issues? In MIUI it was the case when recording suddenly switched to the noise-cancellation mic and it causes a lot of troubles during the call.

It's the moderators job to say that, who gave you the right to jump on a random thread and start ordering people what to post?
Spurious processes running in the background.
What is system server running in the background, there seems to be a few extra processes running not in the official cm12.1 i was running on my s5 before i bought the note 2
Idk, u can try removing them with titanium backup
Wow glad I finally decided to check back to see some more roms for this phone. I had been using one of the first aosp roms for this phone without vibrate. While it was working fine, I did miss the vibrate function. Checked back and saw this one and it looked pretty damn good. Installed it with no issues at all and so far it is working perfectly.
Can't connect to web with data connection. Only WiFi.
I'm kind of surprised this thread did not get any bigger. Seems a lot of people have overlooked a really good rom. I've been using this rom for 6 months now and I still have 0 problems with it. Don't know how much longer this phone is going to last but it's still chuggin along. Did have to finally replace the battery as it developed a bulge in it (got this phone when it first came out so it's been while). Other than that I'm good. This rom is solid.
Good Hello everyone,
a very long time ago I wanted to help my brother and flashed his Note 3 (N9005) with a ported rom. I wanted him to have a feeling like he got a new phone... anyway that kinda backfired because for a very long time he is using his Note 3 with the Camera crashing and FC, WhatsApp massage only receiving when he manually opens WhatsApp and Bluetooth disconnecting constantly! Not the best experience you can imagine and all because of me
The Problem we have is that we don't see each other often because of the distance. So when we meet I don't wan't to spend hours flashing and testing a rom. And I can't keep his Note for a few days to test drive it.
I really need help because I'm out of it and not really up to date any more.
Can you guys please recommend me a good reliable N9005 rom that is ported like N5/S7/N7 maybe? there are a ton of roms out here but I don't know which one is reliable and doesn't need fixes all the time.
Like I said a ported which is clean and minimal without any extra added mods and features would be perfect. Clean and simple reliable.
Thanks in advance guys :good:
RELIABLE
Then stick with Stock roms .

Yeah, I would suggest sticking with stock ROMS. But when it comes to suggesting an actual custom ROM, I suggest Phronesis Rom N7 v4.1
I've been running it for two weeks now and it's absolutely beautiful, it's like ACTUALLY having a Note 7... without the explosions of course.
An any issue you run in to, you can find an answer to in their thread. The only issue I came across was the audio quality and animation that got fixed by using the search feature in the thread
Agree with that rom.
But as OP is not the user its difficult to fix a problem from miles away .

MagMA NX n7 Port is best also when it comes to battery life you also use the debloat script to trim down some of its apps to get more juice out of it. So far one of the best N7 ports I ever tested (Aryamod,Norma etc.)
You might also want to consider the AryaMod S7E port, quite good too
You can also update his latest modem and bootloader currently PJ2
HI all.
I'm a new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 owner! Recently upgraded from a Note 3. Phones are years old but are decently priced and still good phones when you're not looking for something too fancy.
Honestly, the Note 3 was the best phone I've ever had and was looking forward to a Note 4 upgrade (was looking forward to the fingerprint scanner, even if not the best, and to the metal edges)
Now, I'd just like to ask for a few pointers on this device. Any custom ROM suggestions? Anything I should know about?
I am doing my fair share of research, I've been reading a lot of posts regarding this device, posts that are months old, posts that are years old and I've gotten myself a general idea of what to expect.
But I think even with all this reading, I probably won't be able to compare what I learn from these posts to someone that has owned a Note 4 for months, possibly years! Which is why I'm posting this thread, to ask those who have had this device for a longer time and will probably continue to use it for a longer time since this phone is amazing!
I just want to ask you Note 4 owners, if you bought a brand new Note 4, what set-up will you prefer? Custom ROM? Stock ROM? Any kernels you would flash?
I know the best ROM will always be stock ROM, but is there any worth-while N7 ports for the Note 4? I'm a big fan of the off-screen memo, the smart screen capture (scroll and screen-recording that records gifs) and also enjoy tweaking the kernel (overclock) for smoother game performance. I've also read that the most common problem with ports is the fingerprint scanner. I'll probably end up doing the work-around since no custom ROM has gotten this fixed (from what I read it's almost impossible without leaving a lot of the stock ROM's assets which defeat the point of a custom ROM).
Currently, I am downloading stock EQI2 6.0.1 which is the latest firmware for the N910T variant. I know that the T-Mobile variant has it's own forum but I usually see that the "Samsung Galaxy Note 4" thread is the most active and sometimes includes things for the T-Mobile variant (was the same case with the Note 3, the T-Mobile forum was dead and the international forum was alive and well)
It's running 5.0.1 software right now, hopefully 6.0.1 is better.
Thank you for your time!
I kindly invite you to try the unified trlte build linked in the [ROM] [UNOFFICIAL] [7.1.2] LineageOS 14.1 [SM-N910F/G/P/R4/T/T3/V/W8] thread.

Thanks for your input, I am currently trying out a Note 7 ROM port, but if it doesn't work out I will try it out
Personally, I prefer to run the stock OS that comes pre-installed on my device and update the OS to the latest version provided by the manufacturer. As I know for a fact that Custom 3rd Party OSs do not have the best post imaging software. Which hinders the performance of the camera sensor on your device.

Been snooping around and messing with a couple of custom ROM's either with Note 7/8 features and S7 Edge/S8.
I really like the look overall to the stock Note 4 UI, but I seem to have a very bad luck with random reboots and some features missing (fingerprint) or not working (night clock).
I was really afraid my phone was doomed with the eMMC failure I keep reading about that plagued the Note 4, but I don't have any problems running stock.
Yup, I guess my motto came true. "The best ROM is always STOCK ROM", even if it looks a bit out-dated.
I'm currently running stock and a custom kernel I found for stock MM. I'm pleased with the results so far, just kind of wish I could boot straight in to camera with double HOME press
Best advice I can give you , owning the phone for 2,5 years, is to never use quick charge and never update the phone or flash custom roms while the phone is being charged.

That's interesting, the first time I've ever read not to use quick charge. What particular reason do you have to suggest this?

I am amazed you are not aware of the motherboard brick problem of the note 4 !
Do a quick search and read about the motherboard Emmc problem on a lot of Note 4s.
Cheers!

I did read about it, I just wasn't sure what was the root cause for it. So I guess fast charge is the culprit? Every place I read this people seemed to blame an update either from KK to LL, or from LL to MM. Wow... I gotta think about this one. One of the reasons I love this phone over my Note 3 is because of the quick charge. Man :/
Gotta think about trading that feature in for... you know... a FUNCTIONAL PHONE :laugh:

IMO the culprit was a heavy update(eg. from lollipop to Marshmallow) being installed , while the phone was pluged in being quickcharged.
This pushed the temperatures to exceed the max threshold of a bad emmc solder on the motherboard on some specific batches of the note 4.

So you think regular quick charge should be fine? The phone doesn't heat up with regular quick charge, so I really hope it's safe. I know that just to be safe, I shouldn't use quick charge. But I guess I'll roll the dice.
I updated from LL to MM via Odin, so it wasn't quick charging :victory:

In my case , my phone gets really warm while being quickcharged even if I am not using it at all.
I live in a warm place though!
If you want to use quickcharge , I suggest you go ahead and use it but without using the phone during the charge.

I have an exynos version so can't tell you much about the snapdragon versions (also never heard of emmc problems on exynos devices, the only problem I have is IR blaster stopped working some update ago and never worked again since), but here's little general advice :
Stock ROM is perfectly reliable and very smooth with little customization :
I recommend a package disabler app like EZ disabler to get rid of bloat. I disable anything that doesn't have a clear use for me . If something breaks functionality I enable it back.
If you don't want to root you can use adhel to block ads in very efficient way .
If you do want to root I recommend magisk . It's the best way to do it because if anything goes wrong you can just uninstall it and everything is fine again , it doesn't affect system partition.
Also system less xposed works great if you use the proper version . I love youtube background mod.
In my experience you should never use apps that claim to save battery like amplify/greenify etc . (In some cases they drain the battery even faster with their continuous background services) The better way to save power is to not install power hungry apps in the first place or disable them with EZ disabler . Also disable animations and just disable functions when you don't use them : Sync/Location /Bluetooth etc .
Last but not least : download and use Samsung game booster : it's amazing for our old gpus : you can lower resolution/frame rates to make games more playable and battery last longer .
These were my quick tips . Hope you enjoy your new phone !

The only small problem I have with stock is that it looks outdated. I know visuals are the least you should look for in a ROM, should be more worried about stability and battery life, but I simply can't deny that visually, stock TW UI bothers me.
But I guess I'll have to get used to it anyway since all the ROMs I've tried have issues here and there, but most importantly I get random shut downs and reboots with most custom ROMs and I lose the fingerprint scanner.
As for games, I heavily play a game called Shadowgun Deadzone. It's not that graphics heavy, but I need it to run smooth. I haven't tried Samsung's game booster, I've only messed around with custom kernels and changing the CPU governor, overclocking, etc... and it runs fine for a little while, but starts chugging after a few minutes in.
If the game booster can fix this, heck I can stick with stock ROM without any problems.
When you say it looks outdated
Are you talking about the launcher?
If so why not try the many other launchers out there? Like nova launcher..

A launcher can only do so much. I'm referring to mostly on things like the notification drawer, the settings and stuff like that.
Hi,
My Note 4 Sm-n910c recently started fooling with my battery life though I bought a new original one and thing was even worse, So after near 3 years I decided to root my phone and get a rom.
So I installed twrp and Air Rom (I guess V2.something) based on A320F and it includes many note 7 and 8 features. It's almost stable and o fog my great battery back.
But 2 things are not working, 1 is the finger scanner (which I can manage bit hope to fix), 2 my s view cover is not working and so I need the Original port all of s view cover to work including all features like camera.. etc.
Please help me get it or mention any link to follow.
With Warm Regards.
Any Help??
