Hey everyone, it's me again,
I am currently using Blisspop custom rom's latest lollipop version - got rid oft the stock android several months ago now and I must say that everything IS better than Samsung delivered. BUT I am missing one thing from the stock version - and pretty much at that, for I can't find any "worthy" successor to it: Samsung's Memo app (I think it's Name is S-Memo, but I'm not really sure... I included Screenshots I found on the web)
Since I can't find any real substitute to it I was wondering, if it wouldn't be possible to flash that single app {like you do with gapps) to the custom Rom ...
I hope someone understands the point I'm trying to Name OR knows an alternative to it that's almost like a clone :cyclops:
Thanx again in advance for your kind understanding and trouble
Yours

I hope this is not a totally dumb question as I am new to Android phones:
There are some good apps that come with the note as standard like S Memo and also some Samsung specific things like S Choice. How do I keep these when I upgrade to a custom Rom.
I looked as Astro file manager back up capability, and it doesn't list these there.
Would Titanium backup list them and allow me to save them for re-installation?
Thanks
Chris
You can't really keep them on a non-Samsung ROM as they depend on the Touchwiz framework. Sorry :'-(

are u going to be flashing an ICS rom or staying on Gingerbread? you will not be able to use any pre-installed apps if you are flashing ICS rom. But if you're flashing a GB rom (rocket rom v23, checknote etc) then you can use Titanium Backup but most GB roms come with smemo, splanner, etc. Hope this helped.

Thanks for those replies guys, it's actually really helpful for a newbe like me. I need to explaore the standard apps a bit more to see what's good and whether I need a substitute for any.
I was thinking of flashing an ICS ROM, but I need to explore which one is the best.
If I loose the S.Memo app, that seems really good, is there a substitue in the market? Of all the apps that utilises the pen, that would seem to be the key one!
Your advice is appreciated.
I'm using a modified version of MyScript Notes Mobile which I think works perfect for handwriting notes. Get it here (and thank the guy who modified it in that thread ): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594325

I'm not sure if the ICS roms based on the leaked Samsung firmwares have all the s-pen apps but I'm sure just about any custom GB rom here is based on original Samsung firmwares and thus include all Samsung apps (unless explicitly mentioned in the thread that they were removed ofcourse).
You can still use your pen in ICS roms that are not based on Samsung firmwares though you'll lose pressure sensitivity. If you feel like you'll need pressure sensitivity you could flash a rom based on LP6.
Hi all, I'm trying to find a ROM which is most like untouched standard Android (Like what you'd get on a Nexus device); this sort of ROM used to be referred to as 'Vanilla' but may also be know as Nexus or Google Play Edition.
I played with my friends new Moto X yesterday and the OS was so much faster and responsive than my phone, in my opinion. Furthermore, I prefer the aesthetics of the standard ROM; I know Motorola ROM's aren't completely free of changes but they are certainly a lot more uncustomised than Samsung with all its additions and customisations which I really hate the look of and find my phone gets laggy quickly unless a restart is performed.
I have extensive experience loading custom ROM's but I don't want to have to try all of them, I was hoping you may be able to help me find a ROM which matches my requirements. The addition of S Pen apps/compatibility would be awesome but I can obviously look into adding this myself if the ROM does not natively support it.
Thanks community!

If you just want plain standard nexus type rom them you just want plain cm from the original development section. There are a few versions of cm with added tweaks around as well but cm roms are pretty much only available for the qualcom n4 plus every cm rom will have a couple of bugs

note 4 910f best stable rom pie
im a newbie can you help please.
Did you find a rom that worked for samsung note 4 n910F marhmallow to pie? blutooth and camera ok?
A shop did this for me they tried twice but though android pie worked when I switched the fone off.. power off from the shutdown menu at end of day.... it wouldnt reastart at all. They gave up and reloaded samung marsmallow again which its running now.
As a newbie id appreciate knowng how and in which order you did this. Im thinking odin on computor, root fone to take nandroid copy twrp
If I end up with the same problem as the shop ie no restart, could I obtain and load an original samsung ver 5 or 6 android, as this would be easier than rooting the fone in order to make a nandroid copy.
THANK YOU !!! april 2020.
Hi guys,
Apologies if this question has been covered before, but I can't seem to find an answer in my searches.
I'm looking for a Touchwiz ROM for a G900I that is or can be themed to look identical (or as close as possible) to the UI of an AOSP ROM, like CM12 or Google Nexus devices.
Until recently, I was happily using CM12.1. The only problem was that Bluetooth audio was not working very well, and there didn't seem to be a way to fix it (it's been a known issue for a number of months but hasn't yet been fixed in nightlies or in any other CM based ROMs).
Ideally, I'd really like the native stability of a Touchwiz ROM, but with an AOSP ROM. Is this possible? Happy to use root and Xposed to get the job done, if that is what is required.
Thanks!
Hello everyone,
I personally never owned a Samsung device (always Nexus and mostly with Paranoid Android or Dirty Unicorns ROM) but my girlfriend has one and she defeniately needs it to be flashed :good:
As I am completely new to Samsung devices, I have no idea about all the developers and different ROMs that are out there for the Samsung Note 4 (Snapdragon).
I don't have much time to try around with different ROMs as it isn't my phone.
I need one that is good, stable, fast (and also supports the stylus / samsung apps). So I can flash it quickly and have a happy girlfriend
So that is the reason I an asking in the first place. Else I would just flash around and keep trying until I find the best fit.
I saw CM is officially supporting the Note 4. So that one might be a good solution. But does it have all those stylus samsung stuff?
Any other ROMs I should check out?
Do I need to flash a new radio?
Thanks in advance and sorry for posting another "which ROM" thread. But I can't really test around to find out on my own as it is not my device that I am going to improve !
If n910g, this is highly recommended, although you have to disable or uninstall later all apps that you don't want if you want a debloated rom.

It is N910F.
The link you provided is simply stock android MM?
Yes stock MM, stock is in my experience the most stable and bug free rom build. But the link is for n910g unfortunately.
Stock ROM, and then debloat yourself. Quite honestly speaking, and no offence to anyone, there are no good ROMs available for Note 4. In fact I myself might have not got the phone if I realised the development section is like this. And I am not interested in ported ROMs, so even though there are many available I won't go that way, and I am too dumb to make a ROM for myself, so stock ROM it is.
I agree, stock rom rooted and debloat it, and apply msm tweaks. If you want, xposed as well.

You must flash samsung based rom to have all soen features and samsung apps. I reconnemed kurama rom which in using , its battery friendly, fast and stock based. If you going to flash kurama rom you must flash modem and bootloader for the rom to boot up (only can be flashed from pc with odin)
Hello everyone. Has any developer ever attempted to make substratum theme engine for rom stock, specifically for android 6.0.1 or below? Well it only works on custom roms or AOSP. I recently saw on a website (I can not remember which) that from Nougat, the substratum can be used in stock roms. However, I think I will not use it on my S5 (SM-G900MD) because maybe he will not get to the Nougat. So that's all. Thank you.
Sadly devs of the app aren't interested in supporting lower versions of Android, let alone Samsung's versions. They had problems with Samsung's skin even on Nougat/Oreo so you need to install a plugin in order to make it work there. As much as I want my S5 to last forever (as it's a freaking awesome phone heh) its time is coming when most new and cool apps just won't get on it, not even with xda devs, because after Marshmallow android changed quite a few ways in its core. That made Substratum possible on newer versions. And the custom ROMs you refer to are indeed android 7 and up. I'm on a custom 6.0.1 ROM and it doesn't work - I tried.

No worries, your english is OK
Hello I managed to make it work on the S5 SM-G901F in 6.0.1 rom stock but very difficult because there are many errors of compilation it is necessary to download substratum on aptoide and to test several engine with theme until that it works sorry I do not remember which one I used because I have since removed.
The theme engines can be on Google play, although read the descriptions to see if rom stock samsung is supported.
