Hi everyone, I am not a developer, and I know this question is probably redundant, but I am wondering what is the closest you can get to stock android lollipop with the note 4 specific features. I understand roms are either based on stock android or touchwiz framework, and you have to pick one or the other, but I'm really torn, I have flashed 5.1 on both my S3 and S4 and I absolutely love it, I'm still waiting for the lollipop update from telstra for my stock note 4, but I think when it finally comes around I'm going to be disappointed that it's more touchwiz than lollipop. I guess my question is like I said before, how close can you get to stock lollipop but retain s pen, multi window, etc? Would it be possible to start out with a TW base and swap out all of the UI and apps for stock LP ones? I know I'm way oversimplifying it, I just really want the best of both worlds, I don't really want to root my note unless I can get as close as I can to stock lollipop with the note extras.

If you are not looking into rooting, I recommend Google Now Launcher. It is the most stock Android UI experience you can get on a nonnexus phone. Since it's just a launcher, you retain all your device features. If you are looking into swapping out all of the UI and apps from TW base to stock LP ones, however you will experience this error message everytime you exit out of an app: "Android.System.UI has stopped working", so I do not recommend that.

You're awnser lies amongst the rooted side flashing a tw rom that is aggressively debloated of apps even some essentials and using stock ones from google and then i guess theming the rom to look like a stock pure lollipop. I heard there are some nice alternatives for the spen usage and multiwindow i have tried some in the past on pure android on note 2 but the experience is nowhere near the stock apps from tw, regarding spen and multiwindow.

If you want to keep eveything, you will have to think about a launcher indeed. Goole Now Launcher will be the closest thing.
Google now launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.launcher
I would say when rooted, flash CM12 official, and use CM SPen addon, in combination with notebuddy for you SPen features. You will only lose the multiwindow (links down below).
Spen Addon: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tushar.cmspen2
Notebuddy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tushar.spen_helper

yeah but you still lose the epic camera quality.
as much as i dislike touchwiz and like cm12 i keep running on stock rom becouse the camera quality on CM based roms is just to bad.
if only there was a way to get the camera quality on a cyanogenmod rom it would be so awesome i wouldnt even care about the spen anymore
Hello.
Im looking for a "stock" rom, which is debloated so that there is only the nessesery stuff like playstore and system files.
I don't know anything about making it by my self, and that is why im making this request and hoping that you can help me out.
i am currently running the AICP rom on my galaxy s5 sm-g900f with nova launcher, and i like the overall feeling of it, but there is just too many things that annoy me about it, for example the keyboard since im used to the stock keyboard.
I hope you guys can help me out.
Hi Frnds, I used Lenovo A6K+ and i have one daut ? I'm seen long time that Nougat Rom has same UI and no New OS UI, all the Nougat Roms have almost same UI. But Other Rom Version like MM, lollipop and KK has lot of Operating System UI. Why ? If we can used different ui in Nougat it will better experience for all. Thanks
That's what launchers are for. Download them from Play Store.
I'm just taking about OS and there UI. Not launcher.

First of all hey noob ,daut?lel,its doubt .so back to topic, can't you understand they are different android versions thats why they have different ui if you are talking about custom ui like touchwiz,MIUI you can't install them in your phone!
Recently tried my mum's S5, woah i really like the look of Android 6.0.1 Touchwiz, currently i run on Magma NX rom which i really don't like, it's slow, sluggish and laggy.
I just want a nice clean touchwiz 6.0.1 rom that's stable with camera working.
All i see on the development pages are either Pure android roms (lineageos) or touchwiz ports for N5/N8/S7/S8.
But maybe there is an fast touchwiz marshmallow rom that's complete. Like the one on the S5.
Does that exist? can someone link it to me?

Doesn't the S5's touchwiz look exactly like the Note 3's Lollipop stock?
I recommend just flashing stock and you can forget about malfunction or the phone chugging. There's no ROM like stock ROM.

Not really, i think only the system settings and systemui are the same, everything else is different like the launcher, icon, homescreen. It looks really good.

I found this, https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...nt/6-0-1-touchwiz-marshmallow-note-3-t3349306
looks like exactly what i want. going to test it on my note 3.
Is there a ROM or way that I can only upgrade the Android version, but keep the old TouchWiz and system apps?
I was trying to find S7/S8/S9 ROM ported to S5 but they were for klte while mine is lentislte, and I don't like the new Samsung's UI.
