Question about ROM installing and TWRP - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I have Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910C) and i have a problem with it, first of all my screen touch doesn't work anymore for some reason and the only thing i can use right now is my S Pen, i don't wanna install a new screen and touch since it will be expensive and Im going to buy a new phone soon, and here when my problems show, I can root my phone all fine and install TWRP but the latest TWRP i think doesn't support the S Pen, because it keeps clicking all the time as soon as the pen gets close to the screen, But after a lot of tries and being careful, I can install ROM's like Ditto ROM 7 or SimplROM.. Then comes the next problem which is that these ROM's never work good after i install them, they always bugged or laggy or keep giving me pop up's like " Setting has stopped working or Media stopped working ..... etc"
Can anyone in here give me links to what i should exactly do or install? Bootloaders or Modems or whatever?
Thanks in advance.​

[Q] Help me chosing a ROM for my Note 4 (SnapD: N910F) with a working Xposed

Hi all, I come from a Note 2 which I loved, but it was asking for a replacement..
So I have recently bought a Note 4 SnapDragon (N910F), It came with LoliPop 5.01,
LP5 is not that bad, but I haven't been able to make Xpose run on it..
So I decided to go back to KK4.4, tried several 4.x ROMs, but the only only one that has worked so far is the X-Note Rom.
(Some KK4.4 I tried to download just are not available anymore, or they didn't work on my phone,
others asked for Samsung activation, the download audio trick doesn't work)
Now (with KK4.4) Xposed is running flawlessly (same as on my old note2), but..
I'm having some issues with screen lag when writing or browsing, and a factory mode message every reboot
(tried the rm efs subdir, but it just isn't there)
I also have no clue how to make my home button wake up the phone (with LP5 it was doing it)..
So besides that, I would like you guys to recommend me a ROM for my note 4, that just works fine with Xposed.
I don't care if kk4.4 or lp5..
Thanks in advance,

I've had the same issue with every Rom both kitkat and lollipop (factory mode). It's your WiFi. If you reboot your phone with WiFi switched on this message appears. I think the problem is Knox related. The only solution ihr found is to wait twenty seconds after your pin code and then switch WiFi on.

Actually every deodexed Lollipop is xposed ready so you are free in your choice. All of available roms at Snapdragon section are good so it depends what you want. Some are more design oriented, other tend be as lightweight, as smooth as possible and so on. So it is difficult to suggest you something with just xposed compability Provide more info what is important for you or just look around in snapdragon development section

A5(6) Like ROM on S5?

Hello,
I dont know much about touchwiz UIs and i just get my sgs5. (G900F)
Could someone help me choosing a rom?
I have 2 reason why I want to use other rom instead of stock.
1. I have 'when the screen brightness on low , my screen is vibrating as hell' problem and i want to check out is it software problem
2.I just checked Galaxy A5 2016 Rom and it is kinda nice in my opinion.
(I dont want to use stock android UI after having much phones with that roms (cm1x.x and etc.)
In addition, im just happy having fingerprint scanner and it would be wonderful if it would work. I saw that some ppl use Hi Locker's fingerprint lock, is it possible having a rom without fingerprint function meanwhile using fprintscanner with Hi Locker?
Could someone send me a link to download and install a rom?
Thank you for any help!

Face unlock never works

Hi there,
I have a SM-G965F with latest TWRP in place. Flashed several custom firwares like Black Pearl, The Galaxy Project, Glamour etc with strnge effects: Spectrum never seems to work (Kernel not supported although custom kernel is in place) and most importantly Face unlock not even worked once. After the message to put my face 15-20 cm close to the screen the app just tops. Dialog says Face unlock application does not work, reboot phone. What am I doing wrong? Is it related to some other thing I need to flash like specific modem / bootloader? Please advise, thanks in advance!
best,
Bob

Hi, thanks but that does not work at all! Flashed the face detection zip after installing Black Pearl Rom: Same! "Face detection application is not working. Reboot phone if the problem persists." (translated from german). Face detection app is just crashing on all roms. There must be something missing at low level.... any ideas please? Any complete rom I can flash that comes with modem etc updates?
it worked for me on note 8 or s9 rom, so just try

thanks, tried the rom but face unlock isn't even existing in the menu. Also, tried GALAXY PROJECT rom again and this time also face unlock missing in the menu I wonder what's going on. Flashing the face_unlock.zip has no or reverse effect. Flashed new bootloader, new modem, nothing. See topic: Face unlock NEVER works for me, whatever I do. WIlling to try more tho if more tips are coming up
...might it be related to CSC region? Any ideas? I am always formatting everything and trying to install as clean as possible.
thats weird I was using it, now I prefer better rom like lineageOS, which is way faster than samsung ports
wow, it works now with glamour s9+ rom (which is very good). Other things that did not before also started working. One rom must have flashed something that is needed. For the record, I also set CSC to UK (where I am NOT). Face unlock works great now without the need to flash an extra package Thank you guys for helping anways!

I'd like to reset like everything on my ZE552KL

Hi all,
I went from a Nexus 4 on witch I had Cyanogenmod and it was really nice because of the root and OTA updates.
But I had a Zenfone 3 then. Cool phone, for sure, but the OS was ugly compared to CM, and of course not rooted.
So, one day on my Zenfone 3 I tried to install a custom rom, following advises I got on this forum and a French forum. It turned out pretty bad, I had to go back to stock quickly for a daily use. It was so complicated I don't even remember what I did or how I did unlock the bootloader, but I think I used the official unlocker (really not sure).
Since, when I boot the device, I have a black screen with white text, telling me I have to press the power button to finish the boot operation. It's maybe a small detail but I try to be as accurate as I can. The rom is a stock rom, here the information I get about it in the information panel : OPR1. 170623.026.WW_Phone-15.0410.1803.55
So, as the boot looks messed up (even if everything works with no problem) and pretty old, I'd like to have a fresh and clean install. Wiping everything and, if possible, having the possibility of OTA updates and rooting the rom. I'd prefer a custom rom as I don't really like Asus official roms, but I also need to have a stable phone.
Could someone tell me what Rom I should choose, and help me doing this ? It looks super hard compared to the Nexus 4 custom roms installs, so I don't want to ruin my phone by being a moron and do stupid things
Thank you for any help you could give me here.

Got an old 910T I want to repurpose. Any starting advice?

Hey so Im new to samsung phones, but i got my hands on an old galaxy note 4 910T model that I want to repurpose. I come from oneplus phones, and I have no intention of using samsung's touchwiz OS.
based on the research i've done, if I try to install a non TW rom, the S-PEN's feature won't work. is this correct? Does that mean it can't function as a normal stylus as well? or that it won't have the fancy other stuff?
if the stylus works just for normal touching, then that is fine with me.
I'm looking into possibly using lineageos 16.0.
Any advices / tips or tricks you guys got for me?
also, is there any like discord for you guys so i can instantly ask questions / get help live instead of the forums which is a bit slower?
Your assumption about the Spen is accurate; the stylus will work as a normal pointer and touch device but the fancy stuff baked into the Samsung TouchWiz ROMs won't be there (when you pull the pen out on TW ROMs a menu shows up).
I would highly recommend you start with Havoc-OS ROM Pie which right now is my favorite for this phone (I have the same version) because everything works great out of the box.
Install the proper TWRP (trlte) via Odin, boot into 'Recovery' and you should be able to install your custom ROM in no time.
Let me know if you have any other specific questions.

makes sense. so if i were to run a non-TW rom, the s-pen would still be able to press stuff? how come it doesn't work on like a oneplus phone? or does it use different glass or something

Yes, it works just fine to select and press on the phone screen. It's probably because the OS is specific to the Note 4 and is configured to recognize its own SPen.
