I really like Cyanogen, but I'm looking for some touch wiz based ones too. Any suggestions? Also how do I do the Gestures on the Note 4?
What variant?
Touch Wiz for Sprint, what's the best?
Mines a non-Rooted stock Lollipop ROM. I also want to flash CyanogenMod 12.1 nightly and try something different. but i'm worried the file is bad or bootloops etc.

Hi everyone, I am not a developer, and I know this question is probably redundant, but I am wondering what is the closest you can get to stock android lollipop with the note 4 specific features. I understand roms are either based on stock android or touchwiz framework, and you have to pick one or the other, but I'm really torn, I have flashed 5.1 on both my S3 and S4 and I absolutely love it, I'm still waiting for the lollipop update from telstra for my stock note 4, but I think when it finally comes around I'm going to be disappointed that it's more touchwiz than lollipop. I guess my question is like I said before, how close can you get to stock lollipop but retain s pen, multi window, etc? Would it be possible to start out with a TW base and swap out all of the UI and apps for stock LP ones? I know I'm way oversimplifying it, I just really want the best of both worlds, I don't really want to root my note unless I can get as close as I can to stock lollipop with the note extras.

If you are not looking into rooting, I recommend Google Now Launcher. It is the most stock Android UI experience you can get on a nonnexus phone. Since it's just a launcher, you retain all your device features. If you are looking into swapping out all of the UI and apps from TW base to stock LP ones, however you will experience this error message everytime you exit out of an app: "Android.System.UI has stopped working", so I do not recommend that.

You're awnser lies amongst the rooted side flashing a tw rom that is aggressively debloated of apps even some essentials and using stock ones from google and then i guess theming the rom to look like a stock pure lollipop. I heard there are some nice alternatives for the spen usage and multiwindow i have tried some in the past on pure android on note 2 but the experience is nowhere near the stock apps from tw, regarding spen and multiwindow.

If you want to keep eveything, you will have to think about a launcher indeed. Goole Now Launcher will be the closest thing.
Google now launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.launcher
I would say when rooted, flash CM12 official, and use CM SPen addon, in combination with notebuddy for you SPen features. You will only lose the multiwindow (links down below).
Spen Addon: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tushar.cmspen2

yeah but you still lose the epic camera quality.
as much as i dislike touchwiz and like cm12 i keep running on stock rom becouse the camera quality on CM based roms is just to bad.
if only there was a way to get the camera quality on a cyanogenmod rom it would be so awesome i wouldnt even care about the spen anymore
Hello.
I decided to ask you guys here because I didn't find an answer for my question anywhere else. So, I'm a proud owner of i9505 with the newest version of Imperium ROM installed. I'm not staying with this ROM for too long, cause I dont't like TW too much, I plan on switching to something like clean CM12, just have to make sure few issues (like the "Cannot connect to camera" error) are gone.
Howewer, lately alot of my friends have been getting Xperia phones, and while they don't have the best hardware, I'm jealous of their UI. I love it. It looks and works good while being pretty simple and straightforward. For last few years I had i5830 (Galaxy Ace) as my main phone, and while it was old as ****, I remember it had like every single UI framework ported to it. I loved that. Now I'd really like to switch to something Xperia-themed (or a full port, if possible) on my i9505. Is there any decent ROM that would do the thing?
Thanks in advance.
There may be some very old experia themed roms around the forums. But those might be kitkat or jellybean.
You could use themes or layers (depending on the rom) to get the desired look, or even something better.
As for the rom, if you want a bareboned rom, go for CM12 (Optimized, Sabermod), the AOSP project rom or Slim roms. If you want features, try Resurrection Remix, AICP nightlies, Candy5, Team Radium, etc.
Hi,
With RR, i like and use this one :http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/cm12-xperia-z4-lollipop-theme-theme-t3067163
Hey there!
I'm pretty new here. Anyway, I was wondering if I should go ahead with installing the stock Lollipop update for Zenfone 5 or should I use a custom ROM, say, ResurrectionRemix? I've been checking on this for a while now and found out that the Stock Lollipop ROM has battery and heating issues whereas ResurrectionRemix has GPS, FM and slight stability issues. Also, camera not working after unlocking bootloader seems to be a common issue. So I'm not sure which one to install. I love both the interface and style anyway, though I've always had a thing for the native Adroid Lollipop style.. Could you also suggest some other nice ROMs out there?
If you want to try something new, go for Custom ROMs.
Hi, i love roms like CM, AOSP, AICP, etc, so stock android is great! But i read that stock android roms isn't good and have reboots/soft reboots, and few things working compared to stock TW roms etc. I only use the s-pen for snapchat and if i can use this on CM/stock android roms, id rather use those roms..
But is there a stock android rom that doesn't have soft-reboots/reboots lots of bugs, or stuff not working? I don't mind if i have to use 5.1.1 aslong as it has 0 reboots, because i need my alarm clock to be stable and work!
Do i loose alot of battery time on CM/AOSP etc compared to stock TW roms?
Can i flash stock tw rom like normal afterwards incase of selling my device?
I hope to hear from you soon!
Thank you for the help!
Anyone ?
is there really noone that has an input here?
Recently tried my mum's S5, woah i really like the look of Android 6.0.1 Touchwiz, currently i run on Magma NX rom which i really don't like, it's slow, sluggish and laggy.
I just want a nice clean touchwiz 6.0.1 rom that's stable with camera working.
All i see on the development pages are either Pure android roms (lineageos) or touchwiz ports for N5/N8/S7/S8.
But maybe there is an fast touchwiz marshmallow rom that's complete. Like the one on the S5.
Does that exist? can someone link it to me?

Doesn't the S5's touchwiz look exactly like the Note 3's Lollipop stock?
I recommend just flashing stock and you can forget about malfunction or the phone chugging. There's no ROM like stock ROM.

Not really, i think only the system settings and systemui are the same, everything else is different like the launcher, icon, homescreen. It looks really good.
