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.
try i..maybe what you seeking?

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

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.

Just stay on debloated stock ROMs with stock or close-to-stock kernel. That's it.

Hi everyone i currently have a samsung s3 neo GT 1901I almost for a year and a half and it's been stuck on 4.4.2 i love this phone, it has never given me any freezing or rebooting issues but i was thinking now to try go to custom firmware's so guys with a similar phone to mine, please advice me which is the current most stablest rom for my device which i can flash in and if it is stable could you tell me some on the known bugs on it ? i really don't wanna flash a rom and be in full regret as i find this phone of mine really stable on my current stock rom
Thanks in advance for taking your time reading this
Flash cm 12.1
for me it's better to stay on the stock
a friend of mine suggested that I try the CM 12.1 , I really like it but it caused me a lot of troubles espaicially with the battery
then I went back to stock, however it's not the same solid and efficient phone I used to have.
but anyway, that's my personnel experience , if you're used with things like flashing and trying different ROMs go ahead
I think CM 12.1 is the best , there is a thread here ( I think) where the isuues I mentionned are probably fixed
good luck
If you like AOSP ROMs I suggest you to use CM12.1 by @Rox with the kernel made by @n1kolaa.
But if you're passionated for TouchWiz like I am I recommend you to use Project Lucky by @Ciro. It has a bit of random reboot problems, but it's the most stable LL TouchWiz ROM for our beloved S3 Neo.

Thanks for the reply and sharing your experience. I once had a lg e400 and went all out with on custom roms but they were never stable all were nightly roms i was hoping for a stable rom for this neo i have but you kinda have convinced not to play around with the stock rom to be honest

Hi, quick question. I wanted to flash the Project Lucky S7 Style ROM by Ciro but the kernel version on my phone is 3.4.0 and the kernel verion of the rom is 3.0.x. Is it safe to flash?? Please let me know. Thanks
Battery is better on stock, and of course that stock is better for our phone but if you want to experience something new you should wait a few day 'cause CyanogenMod 12.1 is going to be official.

Bro try the MIUI ROM. I've been using the ROM for the last 4-5 months now. You can GET IT FROM HERE. You can also SEE IT IN ACTION HERE.
It has stability, without any bugs, great battery life, great performance and what not. Though, not everyone is a fan on such highly customized ROMs, but personally I like it very much. You have the options to easily apply the various themes while MIUI in itself has pretty good UI.
Yoi don't actually need to flash a custom kernel with MIUI ROM, but if you wan, you can try Phantom Kernel.

Bro, Im having Redmi note 3 pro too. MIUI doesn't lag at all and has better battery life than compared to any other ROM despite the heavy customization.
On LA6k, I've tried many ROMs like CM13, Mokee, and other CM based roms, all of them had some kind of lag in the UI. Also, the battery life was not good, and were some bugs here and there. I've not tried the ED300's ver; but I don't think its much of an exception. So, you should definitely try MIUI at least once.

Amazing Rom
No bugs

Features - with a hell of tweaking and customization
Data good
I installed Facebook, messenger, Instagram and other kind of things. still works likes charm, no lags at all.
Stock kernel is good. even if you want to squeeze more, then try phantom R7. It working good with it.
I should recommend MIUI Rom to everyone cause it's superb. everyone should try it at least once.
I triedAOSP and Lineage OS. But both of them showed the fading and discoloration of the screen during boot, meaning that they were compatible. I am currently downloading the Stock firmware but would like to know whether there are any better ROMs out there than these.
Edit: The stock firmware is giving invalid zip error.

No, read OP, you need Lollypop firmware, just install 5.1 then install this Ron or any time that requires firmware 5.1
You also need recovery compatible with 5.1 like TWRP from Vince (OFFICIAL TWRP) you can download from TWRP site https://twrp.me/devices/j5lte.html
It all depends, if you want to have great camera or you are into taking pictures, never flash AOSP roms, because their camera is a loot worst compared to touchwiz camera (samsungs camera app is optimized like hell)
If you are curious and want to unveil your phone's power I suggest you AOSP/Lineage based ROMs.
Camera isn't enhanced as stock propietary crapwiz one, but works fine. If you love pictures, better you go with a pro Cybershot camera or similar.
I prefer paying the price of freedom and use free software than stay tied to proprietary closed source crapwiz.

Yup it almost works on all Samsung MM based Custom Roms or Ports like A5UX Rom , J2UX Rom etc.
Im also pretty keen to know what ROM you guys think is most suitable ? I am currently using stock 5.1.1 rom on J500F, anything better out there ? Would doing a factory reset on stock 5.1.1 and removing bloatware maybe be the best ? Not trying to hijack the thread but as mentioned im also looking for something as stable with less bloatware and better battery life. Thank You !

You can't get better battery life than stock lollipop + hard debloat, period.
Lollipop is the best for me, plus camera sucks on all custom roms
the smoothest rom is XeonHD , and AOSPextended both are extremely optimized except the camera is not that good , if you don't take pics often i suggest that you install either of them
AOSP-CAF based, are the goods. XenonHD is the better Lineage based rom. You have many options to choose one that fits your needs. Camera is fine, I don't complain about that, You should try to choose the better one that fits your needs.

Thanks for the reply Ragazzza, could i ask which method you used to debloat ? Also did you possibly install a custom recovery and root the phone ?

Picture quality is extremely important for me, i am leaning towards stock.
Have you ran into any problems with XenonHD Taivo ? You say the camera is fine, do you mean its not that much worse than with the stock rom but a little bit of a degradation ? Thanx
i didn't run into any problem in xeon an excellent rom , i recommend it

i could always give them both a try, you guys recommend this method to debloat ? https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
Then just need a recovery that will work with stock and XeonHD rom

@Ragazzza debloat zip is very nice if you're in stock. XenonHD satisfied me, very nice and smooth ROM. You should give a try to test by yourself. My better pictures I got with my Cybershot camera. Pictures are fine for daily use, and you have Vince's TWRP that works in lollipop and marshmallow, you choose the correct for your device. And from within TWRP you could debloat too, using the embedded explorer or flashing Ragazzza zip or whatever you want even with no root in your system.

Thanks Taivotat, im going to give it a try when my warranty is up, still have a remainder of 4 months, for now i want to backup>factory reset>debloat, anything other than debloat.zip that you recommend on stock rom without twrp ?

Without twrp, better you try that no root debloat you show us before..
And if you follow correctly the steps to flash twrp, dont need to be afraid. Its from twrp that you could flash a debloater zip, for example, even without root...
You can stay with stock debloated, twrp and no root.
Hope you understand.
