Hello,
Just got my note 4 two days back.
I am confused with so many options available to flash on my note 4.
I want to flash a note 7 ported roam but i love the stability of stock roam.
can you please suggest me a custom roam that is note 7 port and is stable? i use gps, camera and hotspot often so a roam suggestion without bugs in these features will be very helpful.
Thank You.
First of all you have to say what is the version of your note 4
imho: None.
If you want a stable daily driver don't use any of the ported roms. I'm on Norma. It's good, but needs some care. It's not easily flashed. Some major fixes are need to make it boot and useable.
In my experience, the best for stability has always been dr. ketans port with edge features. It's a Note 5 port, so some added bling, but rock solid on my 910F.
If you'ver got a exynos variant, i couldn't tell you...
I would up date your phone to the newest bootloader and modem for your device. I use norma v5 with the ram kernal for the note 7 ports. My device is a n910t. It works flawless i also used a data fix zip too. Make sure to have an apk of some type of key board because samsung key board force closes constantly. I use google keyboard and installed it right away after i got through the initial setup of the phone.
Yep vote here for stock. Nothing else is stable imho. You might find a rom that is fast one day, but slow the next. I have tried every rom for n910g. Always start off fantastic, but then the bugs and crashes come in later.
This is why I'm never buying Samsung again.
Don't go for note 7 ports, in my opinion ramrom is fast and stable. I'm on G variant

What roms can be flashed om my Canadian rogers galaxy note 3 sm-n900w8 also any safe kernels and a knox remover please
I am also looking for a speedy, stable, battery life saving rom for my canadian note 3 (SM-N900W8.) Please let me know if you found something.
I'm myself using Purify CM13 and it's working very well. Although, NFC isin't working (Usual thing).
I'm surprised to see that this one has all the 5 GHz Wi-Fi channels working (well, as far as I know for the canadian norm). Most CM roms I used had only half of the 5 GHz channels with no way to connect on a weak signal.
Also, battery life is good in my opinion. Enables me to go through the day and arrive home with like between 20 and 30% battery life left.
One thing to note, the Purify kernel is not able to boot the system when plugged in. You need to unplug your phone, boot it (wait for Android to be actually booting up after the bootloader) and plug it back in.
Also, you only have the standard customizations baked in CyanogenMod. No other customizations added.
But aside these in my opinion minor issues, this is so far the best AOSP rom I ever had. It's also the most up to date on CM's sources I could find. Last time it got updated it was on October 17 2016 and it had the 72th revision.
Excellent performance and stability.
Thanks for the info. I am looking for a touchwiz based rom so that i can still use the s pen. I am considering the AllianceROM_T-Mob_N900T_5.0_v2 and the ViSXN900TUVUFOB6r1 roms.
My phone has the following specs:
android version 5.0
baseband version N900W8VLU2DPG1
build number LRX21V.N900W8VLU2DPG1
kernel version
3.4.0-4348112

The S-Pen does work on CM, although, you won't have the features Samsung made without installing seperate apps. I know AllianceROM is pretty much the most complete rom you could find that would be based on the Note 3's TouchWiz build. Although, I've found that starting from the original one and putting in desired mods was the best idea for me. That way, my system was rock solid and still fast...well as fast as TouchWiz could be so not always that much. xD
But! I've found that Phronesis' roms were the best modded TouchWiz roms and ports I've found. They're based on darkera's work and taken to the next level. They updated their N7 port lately to the 4th version. You should definitively check it out. Otherwise, I tried extensively AryaMod which was also superb but was getting really slow after a few months of usage on my phone.
So yeah. Phronesis is what I recommend if you want something TouchWiz build. Again, you'll loose NFC if it's something you're concerned about.
please say rom name and reason
Try is out yourself. Not everyone has the same experience with the same rom.

I have tried few most popular roms for note 3 (even tho its TMO i was using supported ones) and i can tell you that stock lolipop gave me best experience and here is why.
My first rom ever to be flashed was darklord note 5 port by darkera13 and even though it gave me stunning battery idle time it also gave me some bad experiences using camera software which was either poor quality or simply not working when it was needed.
Next I tried s6 port by same developer assuming 5.0.2 base would be much more compatible with our official one but there were some massive memory redraws and weird display brightness bug(screen becomes dim on wakeup).
Since roms above were used as base to other port style roms I dont expect any better from them.(not saying they are bad,contrary,but when stability and reliability is in question ill prefer stock sluggy rom.
I must say that I have never used CM on note 3 so I must leave that to someone else but by the time I am writing this i am using stock and only 5.0 rom provided by TMO on top of lean kernel.(also its massively debloated ).
Cheers,hope it helps!!
AryaMod: Fully featured. Stable. Fluid too (as fluid as stock), and believe some features are really handy, like the alarm notification on lock screen which Samsung omitted from Lollipop. Just use it without Xposed, and you are good to go.

Try tazzy-aurora note 5 port with darklord kernel 1.5 & LS speed mod. Everything works fine and it's really fast with good battery life.
I flashed the s6 settings + stock ui mod (extra mods) and i'm really happy with. Also no camera flickering with darklord kernel
See my sig. Temasek ftw ^^

AryaMod IMO is by far the best Lollipop TW based experience available. I tried literally every single rom from here for 5.0 and nothing compares to Arya when it comes to stability, usage, battery... I highly recommend it!
Always back to cyanogemod CM12.1 = quick, slim, reliable. Only negative is of course the lack of s pen, but you got some third party apps for that.
Used to be great fan of miui, however they are now getting less popular by making their new MIUI 7 lollipop based, which is a sad thing.
I had bad experience with ports in the past, both on my note 3 and my old htc desire. Something was always broken. People say that they don't have any bugs and all features are working, but that was never the case in real life usage.
So, how well to all these note 5 ports perform? Be honest please.
Smokkie note 5 works.. It's been stripped down and works like a dream

Depending on what you need for daily use I guess, I tried out a couple of ROMs and have settled for the Phronesis ROM, in my experience there will always be minor bugs in custom ROMs that get fixed eventually or at least quicker than any update you get from Samsung but for the most they are still more functional that what you came from stock
Hello XDA,
I've been watching this forum since I've had my HTC Diamond back in the old days. Now I am using a Galaxy Note 3 as my daily driver and I love this phone, but I am the type that likes unique things (I am a web designer so maybe that's why). I currently use Phronesis ROM v4.1 but it has a few flaws like eating too much RAM and some little bugs like the camera app. My question here is which ROM should I use with my Note 3 ?
I want to be stable to use as a daily driver and I'd like to have the apps for the S-Pen like S Note and Memo. Also I want to be lightweight and fast, this phone has 3 GB of RAM, I want at least 1 GB to be free for my use like games and multitasking and maybe a custom launcher.
So please recommend me a good and stable ROM because my internet connection is slow and as much as I like to test new ROMs I really can't because of this.
I am not sure if the different variants of the note 3 has an affect on the stability of it or not. But I am running resurrection remix on my Canadian N900W8 and its awesome right now.
Resurrection remix looks to be a CM rom. I try to stick with touchwiz based roms out of preference. My current that has worked well is Sac23 and norma S6 8.0. No real problems with it, ive just been getting the itch to try something new.
CM rom is best for having least possible consumption of ram. But there's no multitasking feature in it. Not only multi tasking but other important apps like S Note, Action memo etc. I first had CM rom but went back to stock coz I love the stock features.

You can try Audax ! I've had it for two months and i think is the rom you're looking for ! Personally I would not change Phronesis with nothing else, but everyone has their own needs

AryaMod 8.1 -> Based on recent Stock 5.0 firmware -> has loads of Mods in ROM Control App (also few in OTA Updates) -> Xposed can be flashed -> Can select Idle kernel while flashing as Option -> No bugs as far as I know (been my daily driver for nearly an year now)
Thank you guys for recommending me some good ROMs, today I've downloaded Norma ROM v20, tomorrow I will try AryaMod and maybe in about a week I will finally decide of which ROM i should choose.
If you are a Flashaholic like I am and want the most recent Marshmallow flavor, use temasek's CM13 (see my sig). You can use your pen there, too. Some apps installed for pen detection + Squid as SNote replacement and you are set. If you want to keep your TouchWiz flavor, the recommendations above are fine, but feel free to try the few Note 5 ports, too, because these are more recent.
I'm looking for the best Exynos compatible ROM for this old phone now. I would like to retain full S-Pen functionality without having to pay for it. Google tells me there's some paid apps that add S-Pen features to roms that don't come with it, but I don't want to go down that route.
Any suggestions?
NEMESIS REFINED V3.8.5 N7 Port. By far my all time fav ; )
Can't speak about the Refined Nougat N7FE Port 5.6 [EOL] because I simply can't let go of my REFINED V3.8.5...it's too good!
All Note 4 features work, S-Pen, and Camera etc, fast and stable Rom.
Is there a rom that has ALL Spen features? I'm getting a Note 4 soon and want to root but don't want to lose the functionality.

Refined Nougat N7FE Port 5.6 is by far the best. You can't compare it to older versions. The speed and battery life is amazing. Its super stable, it has all spen features, audio works well for me. Go for it bud. You won't be disappointed
Refined Nougat N7FE Port 5.6 by @ananjaser1211. Currently the best ROM for Exynos Note4
Air Rom
Nougat N7FE
Why not use the stock rom where everything just works ?

My brother and my mom and I all run the same model Verizon Note 4. Mine ended up getting an update that bricks the memory the CPU uses to save its state when it goes into sleep mode. Had to grab an app to force Partial Wake Lock so it doesn't touch that memory. Software fixes can't help at this point since it damaged the physical memory. More stuff broke so this time I'm switching ROMs out the gate so I don't get hit with the same hardware damaging firmware.

You might be onto something there.
I never had any problems with my unlocked n910c until one day when after a software update the ir blaster stopped working.
I tried everything to make it work again, but with no success.
After some time another update came in and it was functioning again. I was so happy. Everything was perfect again.
But then after a while I was stupid enough to install another software update and this time the blaster went missing for good.
I still miss it sometimes...
