No, only a buggy alpha Cyanogenmod Lollipop for the T-Mobile US Note 4.

and why anyone would install CM on a Note is beyond me

can you tell me what other roms are better then cynogen i've only experienced cynogen =/

Is it not coming until January because it needs to include TW?

There are already (severral) topics about this, i.e.:
Looks like 5 on Note 4...!

There are just no custom roms better than stock in Note 4 case. That was the point.

Disagree. FireKat and DynamicKat in TMobile thread for Note 4 have great reviews (improved battery and performance over basic stock). True, these roms are still based on stock but they do offer more than pure stock alone. Agree that stock (or custom stock) is better than CM on our Note 4 though.

AOSP Look TW ROM??

Hey all, I usually don't do this as I've seen some other people bi*****g about development on this phone and how it's stalled. I am NOT saying that at all, was just wondering if anyone is/doing/going to develop a TW (since no AOSP ) ROM that looks like AOSP? Somewhat like @nitroglycerine33's Eclipse? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351840
Or if anyone knows how to and would like to, I have some people who are very interested in having ROM(s) out there like this and can donate. Thanks
try raffaeles88 foxhound rom.. it's the closest one to aosp.. ?

I'm going to make two assumptions: 1) you're on Verizon and 2) you don't have a developer edition phone. If that is the case you can only flash TW based ROMs made for the Retail version of the S5. Having said that there is one ROM I'm told that comes pretty close to an AOSP look and feel and that is the Alliance ROM. I have not flashed that ROM, but reading through the threads in the Android Development section there seems to be a lot of happy users of that ROM. On the other hand, if you want a very lean, debloated, fast ROM with great battery life and everything works (all essential functions) there is the Syndicate ROM which as near to the pure Android experience as possible (hard to tell it's TW based). Both these ROMs can be flashed through SafeStrap or if you have a Dev Edition S5 just flash through TWRP. Unless you have a Developer Edition S5 you're not going to be able to flash any of the available AOSP ROMs...it just isn't going to happen without an unlocked bootloader and no one has broken that "code" yet.

Lol well the first assumption should be easy as i posted in Verizon general S5. And an obvious yes for the 2nd as i know the only aosp roms are for the dev ed. Alliance rom is nice but too big and many things with stock ugly 4.4 colors

"Since no AOSP"? Lol seriously I'm confused. Does he want an AOSP rom or an AOSP rom that looks like TouchWiz or a TouchWiz rom that looks like AOSP? What is life?

The OP was quite easy to understand. Since we don't have an unlocked bootloader I want a TW ROM that looks like aosp, hence the link to my old favorite ROM from when I had the s4 I put there as reference. He might not be getting an S5 so I just wanted to see if someone could get in touch with him and Maybe get some permissions to do that or w/e..

Well now that i see from my computer rather than phone i guess it's general S5 which is silly that when i click on general under the verizon section it doesnt have it's own section. oh well
It wold be awesome to port this to G900F also. It's the most beautiful TW AOSP theme I have ever seen. Damn you made me regret my old S4 lol. Pure AOSP look with TW Camera...
I follow you, if someone is willing, I would donate for this kind of work.
I will like too a tw with AOSP look

Well, I've learned on this site that not everything is obvious all the time. I've seen T-Mobile and ATT users posting question to this site. Anyway, I just wanted to confirm, but I must agree, if I had read your profile a little closer I wouldn't have had to make any assumptions. My answer, however, remains the same.

Best Custom ROM?

I was wondering what is the best custom ROM around for this device?
Still running on Stock ?

Likewise, but it seems like performance isn't what it once was. Having said that, it's expected to a degree.
Performance got degraded.. So I did a factory reset after KitKat... Things are good after that ?
Scot's ROM is the best! It's Android 5 AOSP based on stock ROM without mods. I have nexus 7 2013 LTE, everything is working perfectly

Looking for a rom that still has S-Pen functionality but on stock Android?

Hey,
been a while since I been here(from back in the days of my Galaxy Nexus). I just picked up a Note 4. I like it. I somewhat dislike the TouchWiz and hate how out of box it's using 1.8-2GB of ram on start up(assuming because of TouchWiz).
Is there any roms out there that run practically stock Android(pref. 5.0 Lollipop?) but still have the S-Pen suite enabled, including the part when I pull my S-Pen out it notices it and gives me that "Air command" menu.
One last plus would be something that gives me the ability to still use fast charge 2.0.
I looked up a couple of roms but unless I missed something they don't offer these features.
Any help? I have the Canadian N910W8 model and use it on Band 4 AWS/UMTS(3G) and LTE on various freq's so the radio would(should, preferably stay in-tacked)
Thanks!
I don't think this belongs in this section man, maybe ask it in the Q and A. It will probably get moved.
On answering your question, at this stage there is no stock aosp rom that supports spen functions. It's a little bit of a dream for most users. Although I hear that lollipop will be faster than stock, that's what I've read.

That's wrong. There is S-Pen functionality in cm12 at this moment. All you have to do is download and install one or two apps from Play Store. This apps are even free.
It is CM S-Pen en Note Buddy. I have installed them myself and S-Pen does work.
Found this the other day https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steadfastinnovation.android.spenlauncher&hl=en
Im running cm12 with the following
s pen launcher
cm s pen add on
note buddy
papyrus
this gives me basic s pen functions but is more than adequate for my needs

You are not entirely right either. There are free versions of this apps, but for full functionality you have to pay, not that there is anything wrong with it, just stating the fact. Also you have some s-pen functionality, but not all of it, and in my opinion CM12 s-pen functionality is somewhat less fluent and intuitive then TW one. Regardless, I still prefer CM than TW
I would also like to know how is this thread relevant to Development section

Be careful throwing around the word 'wrong'. I did say as far as I know, just trying to help someone out. There is apps you can use with cm or some other aosp roms, but it's nothing like the spen features you get from within TW. Not that I'm a big fan of it myself, I have quite a few gripes myself, *cough* performance... But for the multi window and spen features, presently if you use them all, TW is it for now.

I have the same phone as you. So far LiquidSmooth and the Unofficial CM-12.0 are the only Lollipop builds that can even use the S-Pen (Unless you know of others). You won't get the TW features of course. I'm very slowly looking into building a AOSP Lollipop rom that is custom built for our N910W8 devices. I've never built my own before so it is a lot of learning.

It *should* be doing that. Unused RAM is wasted RAM. It's caching stuff for speed so that the next time it needs to load up something, it can check if it still is in RAM already. It's not a TouchWiz thing.

You can still install it on other versions of the Note 4. Just expect some things not to work. If your running the CAN version of the Note 4 I don't recommend using LS atm due to very poor battery life on this model.

Not a problem!
Has anyone tried converting all the original s-pen apps to user apps with titanium backup, and then doing an app and data backup of them from the stock ROM, installing CM12, and then try to install them?
I'd try it myself, but I'm asking on behalf of a mate, not for myself. I think there's a possibility that it might work. It's gotta be worth a try..
I've got CM12 on my S4, and it's awesome.
Now the omega touchwiz rom are released:
imo the best rom and all features would work like in stock.

How do we do that? I haven't found a note 4 lollipop tw rom anywhere? Apart from an unstable unofficial cm rom.

Which Rom is good for s4 I9505 and without problems

Plz guys help to find good Rom for my S4 without more problems
you should say more about what you're looking for in a rom. do you want Samsung features and touchwiz or a pure Android AOSP or something more modified like cyanogenmod ?
only a Samsung based rom will give you full features in the camera or MHL support. AOSP and CM will be usually faster and give more free internal space. no rom is going to be perfect though as that is also a measure of personal preference and custom roms often have tiny bugs in them.
usually talk of which rom is the best is discouraged here, we are urged to try some for ourselves and make our own choice...

Lol. Seriously?
What harm does root access and debloated roms do?
It is like blaming the gun and not the person who pulled the trigger when someone is killed. :/
And FYI due to the heavy amounts of bloatware and other unwanted stuff, the performance is slow in stock roms and also not all of them are stable.

Yup. I've been running the first build for the last week. Data & Wifi work 100%.
There is a new build (CM 14.1) that was posted yesterday which also has Data & Wifi working.

No, at least not a major one. Only small hiccup is that you need to wait 1-5minutes for RIL(radio interface layer) to show up.
The best you can hope by "staying" stock is a port of the Pixel ROM for the HTC M8.
GPe devices have stopped since 2015 so the only stock Android 7 ROM is the Pixel one.

Which isn't saying it any differently than you did before. "Stock" means completely different things to different people. To me, "stock" means the software as it came from the factory, in this case that would be official HTC software. Which for the vast majority of M8 devices, also means Sense.
Some folks say "stock" to refer to a "pure Android" experience, such as Nexus (with little or no manufacturer-specific "skinning" or other customization of the OS). But as a tiny portion of Android devices actually have Nexus software, this can hardly be referred to as "stock".
Others may refer to AOSP based custom ROM as "stock" or at least "stockish". But the very notion of a "custom" ROM is contradictory to the term "stock". While AOSP ROMs may be closer to a "pure Android" Nexus-type experience (than manufacturer skinned ROMs); you can hardly call them stock in any correct meaning of the word. CM for instance, contains so many tweaks and custom CM apps, calling it "stock" is sort of a joke at this point.
As always, when asking for something on this forum,; its best to be specific.
