OK, so so here is a thought. Since the stock ROM for the I9500 and the Korean SHV-E300 has all of the lib files necessary for creation of a ROM, why doesn't someone just use those to try to port a ROM over to see how it would actually work? I just came from the Exhibit 4G and that is pretty much how our device tree was created. Using other phones and our own libs. I know it would take a dedicated dev to do this or attempt it. But in the end it should be very rewarding. Tell me what you guys think.

any dev that can verify this ? possible or not ? any port rom would do Ex. MIUI Rom
It is kind of like porting but not really. It would be using all of our already made drivers that are in .so format and then using partial or full frameworks from the custom ROM sources to build. Just look at it like taking Ubuntu 13.10 and running Gnome 3.8 on top of it as the shell. Neither one of them get along with each other but there are ways to make them coexist and work well together.

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.
try i..maybe what you seeking?

How do we do that? I haven't found a note 4 lollipop tw rom anywhere? Apart from an unstable unofficial cm rom.
Hello all
I am planing on porting over the MIUI to the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (snap dragron ), but I have a few questions.
what is a good base to port MIUI?
-CM12.1 / CM12 / CM11
-Does my bootloader have to be 4.x or can it be 5.x (Currently on lollipop).
-Is there a MIUI rom that will make the port simpler?
-Is there any tutorial that I should read in order to get the ball rolling ?
My 1st goal.
-get it to the splash screen (dont mind the bootloop).
here you can find some usefull guide

Am i able to use touchwiz as the base ?
I normally see cm as base. If you are sure that it can be done let me know.

I'm not 100% sure but I think cm base is easier to port than touchwiz because of the touchwiz framework and stuff but I have no experience doing that stuff lol I've seen MIUI be ported to HTC sense base before but I don't know about touchwiz. Anyway, I really look forward to the finished rom I really miss MIUI and good luck!
I notice that theres no snapdragon 805 rom of miui.
i dont have the skills to build it from scratch. ....
major road block, feeling like crap without even starting.
It sucks to be a noob.
Hello there
I'm using S3 neo plus GT-I9301I with S5 mini port custom rom
Of course my NFC doesn't work so i want to know how to fix it
I need it to use my Google Cardboard
Do i have 2 use stock rom ?
Or flashing stock kernel using adb will make it work ??
You'll need to use the stock rom.

AFAIK nope.... The sources aren't open sourced, so.... Maybe we can find something in the future. But the clock's ticking, and one day this device would just die there.
Hi there is there anyone who can guide me on installing a custom rom for the i9502? I have tried flashing a i9500 Resurrection remix and it works... but the sounds dont work at all which is very major thing and weird. Have tried with other types of ones like gear cm and still the sound doesn't work. I Hate the touchwiz as it drains battery on the i9502 and i honestly wish i can flash the i9500 roms with out any major bugs. If theirs anyone there who has experience with this it would be massively appreciated!
Hi,
That's because i9502 uses different sound driver.
There's a Chinese developer who is trying to port GearCM to i9502, but I don't know how it goes.
For now, you could stick on Sasiskas ROM.

Is there any other roms besides saskias rom? because i want more off a cyanogen mod rom not a customized touchwiz

MIUI suggestion
Helo,
You can try MIUI rom. It is "unofficially" ported for almost all Samsung devices, not to mention any chinese phone like Gionee ( or Allview in Romania ... yes I know )
The only disappointing thing is that the dual sim feature is not supported.
Also, you would have to install special gapps for miui (the official one does not work as it gives false insufficient free space warinigs).
You can find the rom here.
You will need this cwm recovery.
May work with TWRP, did not tried it tough.
