Any word on CyanogenMod for the Note 4? ETA, progress, etc? My guess is they are skipping support for 4.4.4 and going straight to Lollipop for the Note 4. Just a hunch but real info would be great.

Hello,
Moderators, please take it easy on me as I am really confused on the whole matter.
I heard allot about cyanogen not coming to our phones due to Samsung not releasing the Exynos documentation for the I9500.
But yesterday, I read on g+:
"Finally, just a note that Exynos 3 and Exynos 5 devices are not impacted by the information above. The Nexus S allows for a solid Exynos 3 base, and the Nexus 10 for the Exynos 5 base. We have an i9500 in hand and will be working towards bringing the Exynos 5 Octo platform up to release quality as well."
Could one or some of you kind people please answer some questions for me?
1. How will cyanogen release any ROM if no documentation for exynos 5 is released?
2. Have they decided to support rom development since they now have a i9500? I'm just wondering because if they had the nexus 10, wouldn't it have been possible to have started rom development sometime ago? or is it crucial that they first have the device to support it. I don't quite understand how the nexus 10 and the i9500 could be of the same base. whilst they both use exynos, no documentation is released?
3. I hear many people would prefer to stay away from exynos devices in future, and rightfully so, because the lack of documentation. But if cyanogenmod does come to the i9500 would it be right to say that it may have the same fate as the exynos 4 devices in the near future?
4. Would cyanogen support have root triangle and mobile oddin coming to our devices? Yes, I do understand those are entirely different developers, but I'm just hoping something may come of it?
5. Now that cyanogen would make it to the i9500, is it worth getting this phone or should I wait for the i9505? I've heard sound quality, and battery life are quite good on i9500. I do not need LTE at this moment in time.
Hi,
What is the likeliness of the Note 4 having someone produce a CM / ASOP ROM for this device?
This isn't a request, but rather a question. Has any developer put their hand up for this yet?
Just trying to catch up on any CM / ASOP Note 4 related news i may have missed. I have done a search, but nothing of great value arises, and i am sure i am not the only one who is keen to find out....
Cheers
I haven't seen any progress on it yet. Firstly a CM developer would need to get their hands on a Note 4.
I'm hanging out for Cm12 on the Note 4, so hopefully within the next month or 2 development starts.

Me too - with the release of Android 5.0 - comes the quickened release of CM12 - if the Note 4 wants to see Android 5.0 before June next year, its only chance is through CM or some alternate ASOP variant !!!
Samsung are VERY slow at releasing updated Variants for the android OS for their phones... but luckily not the slowest...
I'll keep this post here, so that we at least have some kind of discussion growing with respects to the Note 4, and hopefully someone might pick it up. I would love to do it myself, but i have very limited knowledge of android coding if i knew how i would totally do it...
Bought a note 4 a few months back with the intention of putting Ditto Note on it when I feel like rooting and rom'ing.
But they only support the SM N910C. Wasn't like that for the Note 2. They supported everything then. Probably should have looked into it prior... but yeah.
Anyway I have a SM N910W8 (Canadian), and I'm dying for a port of that ROM that get's some long term dev support and love. Has anyone ported this ROM over or thought about it?
Hi, is there a note 7 rom for the note 4 up, or a themed one or maybe a port?
if not, is there anyone who has come out and said they're doing so?
Hello devs,
I would like to know why the porting rom is easier for note 3 than note 4 ? . The note 3 benefits from a full portage of nougat bases whereas it is not possible for the 4
That's kind of an interesting question, it'd be kind of nice to know.
How come Note 3 gets way more support than Note 4? lol
