Hi!
Did I get it right that you want any minimalistic ROM? If yes, here's a debloated N910C Stock ROM (Android 5.1.1). I don't have any experiance with that ROM, but it seems to fit your wishes and requirements.

Thanks.
But its 5.1 and not latest 6.
And all the Notes features (beaming etc.) are removed.
I was looking for optimised and close to stock with added power menu and some other minimal addons but not full Note 7 or S8 ports.

Hm, yes, I understand.
I'm afraid that's the only ROM I know which covers your wishes atleast a little bit.
I hope you'll find one!

S-pen apps on cyanogen mod

Hi everyone. So as you know you will lose the stock spen features if you flash the cyanogenmod. Isn't there any possibility that you can extract the features from the stock rom and make them running on a custom rom? I know there are some alternatives out there which do nearly the same as the Samsung apps but in my opinion they're not as good as the stock.
Greetings, Lenniitsch
No. Seek alternatives. Spen ,aside from being a normal wacom stylus, is dependent on touch wiz libraries that are system wide. A quick search would have made this post unnecessary.

Looking for a rom that still has S-Pen functionality but on stock Android?

Hey,
been a while since I been here(from back in the days of my Galaxy Nexus). I just picked up a Note 4. I like it. I somewhat dislike the TouchWiz and hate how out of box it's using 1.8-2GB of ram on start up(assuming because of TouchWiz).
Is there any roms out there that run practically stock Android(pref. 5.0 Lollipop?) but still have the S-Pen suite enabled, including the part when I pull my S-Pen out it notices it and gives me that "Air command" menu.
One last plus would be something that gives me the ability to still use fast charge 2.0.
I looked up a couple of roms but unless I missed something they don't offer these features.
Any help? I have the Canadian N910W8 model and use it on Band 4 AWS/UMTS(3G) and LTE on various freq's so the radio would(should, preferably stay in-tacked)
Thanks!
I don't think this belongs in this section man, maybe ask it in the Q and A. It will probably get moved.
On answering your question, at this stage there is no stock aosp rom that supports spen functions. It's a little bit of a dream for most users. Although I hear that lollipop will be faster than stock, that's what I've read.

That's wrong. There is S-Pen functionality in cm12 at this moment. All you have to do is download and install one or two apps from Play Store. This apps are even free.
It is CM S-Pen en Note Buddy. I have installed them myself and S-Pen does work.
Found this the other day https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steadfastinnovation.android.spenlauncher&hl=en
Im running cm12 with the following
s pen launcher
cm s pen add on
note buddy
papyrus
this gives me basic s pen functions but is more than adequate for my needs

You are not entirely right either. There are free versions of this apps, but for full functionality you have to pay, not that there is anything wrong with it, just stating the fact. Also you have some s-pen functionality, but not all of it, and in my opinion CM12 s-pen functionality is somewhat less fluent and intuitive then TW one. Regardless, I still prefer CM than TW
I would also like to know how is this thread relevant to Development section

Be careful throwing around the word 'wrong'. I did say as far as I know, just trying to help someone out. There is apps you can use with cm or some other aosp roms, but it's nothing like the spen features you get from within TW. Not that I'm a big fan of it myself, I have quite a few gripes myself, *cough* performance... But for the multi window and spen features, presently if you use them all, TW is it for now.

I have the same phone as you. So far LiquidSmooth and the Unofficial CM-12.0 are the only Lollipop builds that can even use the S-Pen (Unless you know of others). You won't get the TW features of course. I'm very slowly looking into building a AOSP Lollipop rom that is custom built for our N910W8 devices. I've never built my own before so it is a lot of learning.

It *should* be doing that. Unused RAM is wasted RAM. It's caching stuff for speed so that the next time it needs to load up something, it can check if it still is in RAM already. It's not a TouchWiz thing.

You can still install it on other versions of the Note 4. Just expect some things not to work. If your running the CAN version of the Note 4 I don't recommend using LS atm due to very poor battery life on this model.

Not a problem!
Has anyone tried converting all the original s-pen apps to user apps with titanium backup, and then doing an app and data backup of them from the stock ROM, installing CM12, and then try to install them?
I'd try it myself, but I'm asking on behalf of a mate, not for myself. I think there's a possibility that it might work. It's gotta be worth a try..
I've got CM12 on my S4, and it's awesome.
Now the omega touchwiz rom are released:
imo the best rom and all features would work like in stock.

Hello,

RaymanFX is doing a really wonderful thing on the 910C but I think you're greatly underestimating the amount of work and time needed to get from here to a ROM that is 'stable' in the sense that you can do pretty much the same as in TW, without any issue's. I'd say end of the year would be really quick already.

I use CM as daily ROM and it is stable. Hardware video decoding and video recording are the biggest things which do not work. There are some problems with Bluetooth strength but nothing crucial. Expect that, the ROM works great. It is fast and much lighter than TouchWiz. So if you don't need described features, this soft is for you [emoji6]

I personally used cm 12.1 then saw it's not good for me at least to use as a daily driver. So I flashed SimplRom v4. I'll return to cm 12.1 when they release a stable version. RaymanFX is working hard and we all support him

This is where you can download the latest build:

Sometimes you may experience bugs while playing music with headphones
Video recording doesn't work
Sometimes you might see a little glitch in recent apps
All of those are already fixed and will be patched and uploaded as a new build any day now.

Battery backup is more or less same on ALL the ROMs. When I say ROMs I mean TW based ROMs obviously.
If you want to extend it use Xposed modules like Amplify, Greenify, Power Nap or those kinds. Really not interested in those things, but you can always do a Google search.
By the way, this post belongs to Q&A section. Why post in under Development section!!!
I've used a lot of roms. Cm 12.1 had the best battery life. But you lose all touch wiz features, like multi window, but some can be acquired through apps. I would suggest getting CM 12.1 straight from the source. Look on YouTube for a tutorial. All of these roms are based on Cm 12.1 or Touch Wiz. So for the most part their all the same. Different skins, different clock speeds, different wallpapers, different themes, but underneath their the same.
Try miui 7, I think it's got better battery than tw or cm rom. It was one of the features of miui 7. Really smooth too.

What am I going to lose if I install a custom rom?

Hello, since Samsung is not releasing Android M for this device I was thinking of using a custom rom. Obviously I am not going to have TouchWiz but I was wondering if everything else (e.g. the S-Pen) is going to work fine.
Also, I see that for now there is no official CyanogenMod 13 for this device. Does anyone know if it is going to be released?

There is not an official CM13 yet, but there are a couple of unofficial builds, I'm running Temasek's. The thing is running so far very good, actually, and it has a couple of baked in bonus stuffs not found on a typical CM build.

Porting M will be a b*tch.
First off, there are beta builds for Samsung's top dogs only so far, and only the most impatient devs would go porting an unfinished firmware only to have to do it all over again once the official stable build drops.
The porting itself won't be easy. Quite different bootloaders, devs had troubles porting the S6/Note 5 because our stock firmware for now is 5.0, and those of the S6/Note 5 were 5.1.1. Libraries, APIs, frameworks, etc. might be troubling once porting starts because yet again - our stock firmware is based on Android 5.0, the new on 6.0.
So, be patient, young one. The future is coming.
What about the feature that will be missing from CM?
Is the S Pen going to be usable as an input device for drawing and such?
