I've read, that the performance of the stock tw has been improved on the s7, and am wondering if anyone has tested the battery usage of tw and it's performance compared to let's say nova launcher
If you are talking about the launcher itself only, I dont think it does matter that much in term of battery and performance (maybe nova will be a bit smoother). I dont use TW launcher mainly because of lacking customization

TouchWiz isn't only a launcher. It's the whole overlay. That said, it isn't at all like it used to be. I wouldn't have owned a Samsung, but I decided to take a chance with the Note5 and I am glad I did.

Hi, First of all I love pure stock and that Nexus gets all the updates first, and the Rom's our great Dev's create.
But with Nexus devices we only get ROM's that they all look the same Aosp,Aokp not counting the MiUi (which is the ugliest I have ever seen). Just look at the Galaxy Nexus Android development. They are all the same, and it gets boring.
With TW and LG or Sense we get mixture of Aosp CM Aokp mixture. Which means they have much more features mixed that Nexus will not get.
What you guy's think?
There was some sense and tw ROMs. If I'm correct they where really broken. There just wasn't much support no one wanted them. Making a ROM is a lot of work especially making a whole new ui work. If no one really wants it its pointless

I am pretty sure I will go stock with apex launcher.
Actually 4.1 and 4.2 are really great os with a good amount of useful features. I don't know if I really "need" a custom Rom. Root will fit for me ...

The only thing I would want of these ROMs would be features and apps, like for example, the HTC or Samsung cameras that take 99 pictures at ~6 pictures per second, take pictures while filming and have TONs of features. Stock camera always sucked and it's not the 4.2 update that will change things.
Trust me, you don't want the full Sense, TouchWiz, etc.
They break the Holo experience, slow down the device, make incompatibilities with some apps, etc.

I will do what i normally do. Stock ROM (it will be fast enough anyway) and minimal applications. Makes it great for a balance of speed and battery life.
I hate all the Samsung applications and stuff like that which just slow down and drain battery on my Galaxy s3 and cm 10 is buggy as **** due to no support. Also the rom is themed like a kids playground and I have no idea why anyone would want a nature themed phone.
Anyway. Stock is how it is meant to be and the only real non-gimped option IMO.

The biggest reason i switched to CM was because back in the old days (when i had S2) CM was ALOT faster and smoother than TW, and i felt as TW ate up too much ram.
With TouchWiz (heavily debloated) i have the same amound of ram used as i have on CM. Around 1.1-1.3 gb. CM is a little bit smoother and faster, but not as much of a difference as it was back in the days. The camera in my experience, regardless of camera app, crap compared to TW. It's almost impossible for me (have a little bit of shaky hands) to take a sharp photo. That's the main reason i switched back to TW.
If i would rate camera quality on TW as 100%, i would give CM 60-70. And honestly, speed wise they are pretty much on pair, they both take me from A to B similarly speed wise, though CM spares you alot of unnecessary and annoying microlagsTW give you, but CM does sometimes display Micro lags aswell, but a little less than TW. But I feel like they both take me from A to B very similiarly.
thx
So first of all, please let me state the fact that I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to rooting and all that good stuff.
I want to ask if it is possible to get the stock Android 5.0 Lollipop on the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
If it is possible, how can I do it and is it worthed?
Is losing all the S-Pen features and air wake-up and all that worthed to stay on a faster, stock Android?
Just find a launcher you like and use that. Rooting just to get rid of TouchWiz is overkill. There are great reasons to root, but that isn't one of them.
I couldn't find any good reason to root the Note 4 so far.
ad blocking, and full sd access are good reasons, among others
Definetly worth flashing stock lollipop get rid of the awful awful lag. This phone is a beast when it comes to lag. Suppose I've been bit spoilt using nexus 6 for the last 2 months which is supper smooth and fast.
However unforunately there is no stock lollipop ROMs to flash for this phone so you are stuck with crappy TW.

Going with AOSP Lollipop is definitely possible. It's great. Looks great. Runs without lag. However, if you own any Samsung wearable like the VR or a Gear 2, or if you use the Spen features then you do not want to use AOSP roms. Samsung baked compatibility into TouchWiz instead of supporting Android so you lose it if you switch.
Note that the Spen can serve basic scrolling and tapping depending on the Kernel you have installed but it is very limited.
Here is what it comes down to.
If you use any TW features or Samsung products with the Note 4 then don't switch.
If you don't use any TW features or Samsung products with the Note 4 then make the switch.
Some Note 4 compatible Lollipop Roms I have used and like are
SlimLP
CM12
Liquid Smooth
Buy a nexus 6 if u don't like TouchWiz or spen then y buy a note other phones with 2k display and 805 snapdragon

it would be great if a dev. pulls out the latest touchwiz based rom for our devices lolli will work as well!!!
I'm sorry.. What??? [emoji15]
I think you should be banned!
Just kidding but i don't understand, stock aosp is far better than touchwiz.
I have a nexus 4 and a SGS5 and i only like the S5 because it has a bigger screen and a better camera. If you look at the whole picture i would prefer the N4 over the S5 everyday.. CM makes my S5 worth using but touchwiz makes me hate it!
I can imagine that people that always had Samsung can't live without but not me, I've had many different brands and the N4 is by far the best I've ever had.
Hey guys, I'm wondering ,is it me or there is this smoothness in terms of UI fluidity when using only the stock keyboard of Samsung. I'm quite the fan of the gboard but after few weeks it feels like it's starting to boggle my device performance way to much and the UI doesn't feel as smooth as it is as with stock ,is it placebo or there is hidden issue which noone never pointed. Hope someone can help .Thanks, using the exynos version.
