Hi lovely community! (really appreciating every single time you have helped me out!!)
Here we go again :
My brother broke his S8+ no money for a new device so i gotta donate my liver (My old Note 4)
It was rocking an Norma Rom (loved it still miss it) But since his kid is always bugging with his phone he demands a fingerprint lock..
So i formated the phone and after 3 days of struggle (BL,CP,Kernels etc..) i managed to get the stock 6.0.1 Rom from Omega (thank you bro Greeks are awesome!!!)
Overall its running gread (actual 10 minutes of testing) But the menu is so old.. and ugly AF..
I need some kind of a flash i can do with TWRP that will get the menus a bit more up to date, and add an actual working AOD (always on display) without breaking the fingerprint lock.
Basically i just need the looks of Android 7 not impacting functionalities, a sort of Theme i`m guessing..
So proud Note 4 owners is that possible?
Thank you for your time,
All the best!

I don't know what phone you (or your brother has) have 910C/F - exynos or snapdragon.
To have AOD on stock is not possible, it needs porting over framework and libs and stuff from S8, S8+, N7 or similar.
Most of the ported ROM's have the fingerprint broken, s and there's a workaround only with a custom ROM, so again not possible for what you want.
Basically you want a nougat "look" on a stock ROM. Not sure you gonna find this.
You may try this ROM - https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/rom-t3768967 which has a SystemUI Full Like S7, but it's only for the 910C (Exynos model).

I thought i would share becacuse i never saw people mention how amazing this phone is on custom rom, probably because satisfied people usually have no need to and simply enjoy their phone.. And i thought i'll create this thread to make those who are a bit insecure (which i was at first) feel more secure.
At first i wanted to download Android L (stock version from LG). Knowing that the bumped liquidSmooth rom is comptabile with my phone i flashed it. Didn't realize it wasn't LG's stock version so i can't comment on it just yet. But one thing i want people to know is that this DEVICE FLIES. It's so freaking fast, it's incredible. I've just rooted, installed twrp and liquidsmooth rom. If i flash again it will be in about an hour or two from now for testing purposes or just skip all of that untill tomorrow. So far i must say i'm verrrrry surprised and so happy to see that it's not the phone's resolution nor hardware that's holding it back, but the software - so to those experiencing lag, lets wait for LG to sort things out. This is a confirmation i needed and maybe many of you out there with the occasional lag, like i had, wanted to hear/know about.
So to not bore you guys too much with my talk, i'll keep it short and simple.
SNAPPY, BUTTERY SMOOTH and RESPONSIVE.
Love this device and faith restored.
definitely !
i was starting to think maybe i should compromise for a nice and crisp picture but laggy as f*** user experience .
after 3 buggy roms that i tried , i am now with androidnow HD 6.1 , and since then i realized that LG freakin SUCK when it comes to software .

Heh, yeah. Well they are primarily a hardware company so not too surprising.

Is androidnow HD 6.1 bumped? i wanted to use that one but nothing written about it being bumped or not. Or i'm just blind
Same here, i just got CM12 running on my LG G3 and same experience... Its absolutely amazing. I just dont understand why LG managed to screw things up and ship a broken Rom...
My experience with LG stock ROMs are way better than with Samsung Rom s. Ok, I'll just know Galaxy S1 to S3 and note 2.

This...I came from S3 and sure, they were only dual core for the US models but it was buggy. I just got my G3 and rooted last night. I'll be tickering around with custom ROM's again. CM12 most likely of course.
Hi. I want to share my experience with a couple of ROMS. Maybe people new to ROMS or to the S6 would like to know.
Before my S6 I used iPhones for years (ever since the 3GS). I always jailbroke my phones and customized iOS as much as possible. For that reason I immediately rooted my phone and looked in to any improvements I could make.
Just so you know: Rooting usually trips Knox and yes you probably lose your guarantee. That's a whole other subject.
The S6 is a fantastic phone, no matter what everyone says about battery life, etc. It's still freaking great and much better than an iPhone 6.
1. My second favourite (but many people's favourite and #1 choice as ROM for the S6): XtreStoLite Deo-Mod Edition
If you want to immediately improve your S6 I suggest you install the XtreStoLite Deo-Mod Edition. It's a super lightweight version of the original Touch Wiz rom. It's got all of the Samsung bloatware removed. It's extremely fast, animation speeds are adjusted, and it makes it a 100% better experience than the original Touch Wiz that comes with the phone.
It comes with a companion zip file called the Aroma Package. It's like a second installation which includes tons of optional apps and customizations you can add to your phone. It's developed by @edgarf28. Go download it, and give him THANKS.
2. My favourite ROM (and also for many others): back-to-n0t3; Bring the larger fun to the flagship
The absolute best ROM for me is the back-to-n0t3; Bring the larger fun to the flagship. It's the Galaxy Note 5 firmware ported over to the S6. Since the Note 5 and the S6 are basically the same phone, the developer @arter97 noticed that in the Note 5 many finishing touches, memory management and performance was handled better than in the S6, so he ported the ROM.
I'll just say that after using this ROM my S6 has been on another level. It works great, it gives me 3 hours of SOT (and many people report even 5 hours). I use my phone non-stop: Facebook, Twitter, Email, etc. I give myself no restrictions.
Animation speeds are great, RAM never reaches max usage, and the higher DPI resolution is also something I love.
I also now have some of the features of the Note 5 in my S6: I can stream videos directly to Youtube, can use the "one handed" settings, etc.
So download it and thank the developer.
Both these ROMS will make you a happier S6 user.
Great explanation.
Fingerprint reader Funtionality
@gaston_garcia Does Fingerprint reader work in any of the roms you mentioned?
Does your private mode works properly on back to n0t3?
Fingerprint works in both Roms

Hello Mates,
I was wondering if someone out there would please build a ROM which I'm sure many others would enjoy having. I have pretty much tested all ROMS for the J7 Prime and know's what it working on which, and even my contribution with making them better.
My interest is to have a S8 Experience ROM. for example:
- Enigma ROM is pretty close, but... the Edge Panel isn't quite working.
- Fougat ROM is fast, Edge Panel is working well, can download Edge Apps, and they work without issue, but... strings, variables, apps and settings which do not work on the J7P are there which bloat and perhaps hinder the performance. (*This is my current ROM)
- Enigma, Feedstock ROM Emergency Mode dials Emergency service, Note 7 and S8 do not, they send just Text/GPS/SMS. I already had a callback from 911 asking if I was in an emergency.
- I use GRX TouchwizHome on Fougat to tweak the UI to be more like the S8, and have Bixby running on the left panel. Also it adds me another row in the home screen for better widget and folder/icon distribution, like the S8 (5x6 Home, 4x6 Apps).
Regarding Kernels, well the undisputed king is Flash, but not yet for Nougat.
Now these few notes, plus the newly released Nougat, would make for an incredible ROM, keeping with the original implementation Samsung created with the Dream UI. I have available an S8 which I can use to test and compare. Anyone up for it?
Regards,
Paul

That's what I meant in the last paragraph. Even the newly released Nougat custom ROMS are full of bugs, and I'm sharing which ones, Marshmallow and Nougat, have components that work, so we can break them down and take from each what works.

Im in bro ... I am using revolution rom and after few days the phone has a major touch problems while gaming ... Nougat must fix that but he missed in his Revolution rom sow i will flash a stock 7.0 and wait ...
Actually yes
but its not a place to discuss here
.....
Phuck it, I have an alternative.
Here is what I am going to do, if any of you have tested or know of true and tried programs, let's make an "S8 Add-on" pack for this device. Since I already know that stuff like the GRX TouchWhiz is working, and I have a working Bixby build, all I need now is a working Edge Panel build, which I will start testing.
Then from there we can tweak the Original ROM and concentrate on making a very light base ROM. and then we all can flash the Add-Ons we want.
So.... If you know of a Edge Panel build that work, write it here or send it to me.

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.
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
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...
Dear guys,
i'm thinking about rooting or installing even a nice custom rom on the samsung galaxy a51 i just recently bought last week. i'm not sure, but in the past on other phones like nokia 7.2 or even more earlier on sony xperia and htc, i always got problems after it. phone app didnt worked, apps crashed, stock launcher didnt work, camera quality is lower than before and such. the worst thing i ever experienced was the massive increase in battery consumption. my battery was empty in half of the time.
so how is it with galaxy a51? will it increase the experience or will i hate my decision of rooting or even better - custom rom'ing it? its more a question of opinion, since i know that it would be possible. i just dont want to ruin my new device and gain disadvantages from the things im doing. but maybe there is something good that can happen out of it, so i just simply as for your opinions and ideas
Hi!
I use the current firmware with root and get pleasure from it. Nothing flies out, everything works perfectly, the battery holds the same. But I'm having trouble assembling custom firmware (GSI), and I have one firmware, but I haven't tested it. But in the near future the performance of this firmware should be checked by another person. At the moment, topical custom firmware under the 4th. On custom firmware, surprisingly, I work many functions. But sleep did not like how the fingerprint scanner works (on some firmware is highlighted not a separate area of the screen, and the entire screen). In addition, there remains the question of the full performance of the cameras. In terms of performance, custom shells should be faster, but the Havoc I tested seemed to me to be two more glitchy than Samsung's own shell.
My opinion: if you like OneUI and you want ROOT - you can get a lot of stock firmware.

I am planning also to do these, unlock bootloader, install TWRP, root. What are the requirements needed for this? Version? Build? Exact model of A51? Will all applications run if I do these? Thank you
