The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has 13 models and variants. Generally the variants are the same device models with some different features and specifications, as the amount of internal storage, processor or just 3G/4G frequencies that may be different depending on the country the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is available to.
They can be group in the above 3 categories.
More info about that you can find here as well:
https://www.phonemore.com/models/samsung/galaxy-note-4/
The 3 groups above will help you to determine what is your phone's type and accordingly chose a rom for your needs.
PS. those are for the snapdragons models.
those that have Exynos cpu in them, have different letters , too

whats the reasoning behind limiting areas such as the USA Canada and Sweden to the Snapdragon 600 instead of giving them the Octa
2 reasons :
I. they cannot mass product the octa chip yet.
2. Until a few days ago, the octa did not support LTE chip for 4g. The above mentioned countries all support LTE.
If they cant provide enough chips for the device they want then they should pick a different chip and use that or just make less handsets. I hate it when manufacturers make several different versions of a device. It fragments development why not just make a single device and have a units d development force for a single device. Sadly I'll never understand manufacturers

I'm pretty sure the only "development" device manufacturers are interested in is the development they do themselves. Although they do know XDA (and similar) forums exist, they don't openly support or condone any of their devices being modified in any way by anyone but the OEM manufacturer. Also, 99.5% of most people that purchase a device don't know or care what chips are used in them as long as thy work. So I highly doubt the manufacturing methods used will ever change. Basically, if it works for the manufacturer, that is all they care about.
Please help me to choose ....should i buy a 2.5GHz processor quad-core Qualcomm 8974 Pro or an exynos octacore (Quad 1.9GHz + Quad 1.3GHz) variant of s5?

You should buy the model that best fits your needs. Each one has some advantages over the other. The primary determinant for most people would be which model is best supported by their carrier.
Speaking only for myself, I would never buy the Exynos (octacore 900H) because there are many more Qualcomm models (quadcore e.g. 900F) and as such they are much better supported by custom ROMs and Developers in general.
There have been countless threads about this, full of useful informarion. It's a good habit to search before posting. Have a look and you'll learn a lot about the phones that you are contemplating.

I have to agree with you, in the most pain full way. I had no choice and I bought Exynos. For 4 months I have been waiting for a custom rom. I continue waiting. There are only two or so, samsung debloted roms.
Qualcomm quad core better... More Dev support.
I have Note 3 then i want to move to note 4 , does it deserve ?
want to know your opinions please
& i want to know is the exynos note 4 model support the 64-bit or no ?
For a houndred thousand time..yes!! Worthed!! Yup, this eynos model will support 64bit with lolipop..just google it cpu cip type..
Hello there
I recently acquired our beloved Idol 3, the 4.7" variant (aka 6039Y), and I couldn't help but noticing a rather disturbing fact :
=> Any information about the 6039Y model is diluted in general threads or buried inside the 6045Y threads ...
Would it be possible for everybody posting information/patches/docs/etc specific to the 6039Y model to post stuff in specific threads with a [6039Y] tag in the title somewhere ?
I believe this would make finding relevant information way easier for everyone
I still dream of unified methods/patches for both models, considering both devices shouldn't be that different, but that is up to the volunteers providing the software to decide.
What do you guys/gals think ?

The problem you are gonna have is that you 6039 users are kinda gonna have to run with the ball because your root method AND version of TWRP is totally different then the ones for the 6045 so you can't even follow our guides (for example your version doesn't offer the option to backup "System image" which included partition info). Since no one has done it I don't think anyone would have an issue if you started "how to root on the 6039" and "how to install twrp on the 6039"...notice I'm not identifying a letter because I don't know if the 4.7 model only comes as a 6039Y....the 6045 has 6045i (usa/canada), 6045Y(europe), and 6045K (Various other places). There is also a rumored 6045B.
Dose the 4'7" even have same specs as 5'5" normally the specs ain't the same in smaller version CPU and ram etc , ie s4 quad core 2GB and s4 mini dual core 1.5gb and have totally different root guides and methods , I believe both variants will get good support evench its a cracking device and support is slowly building

Different hardware. Different root method. Different version of TWRP. Different method of backing up system image. Basically the only thing that is the same is the fact they call both of them an "Idol 3".
Thought as much

Considering both phones are Qualcomm-based, I would assume they aren't THAT different after all ? (I AM new to Android development, so there must be something I'm missing for sure )
I mean, Android is based and Linux, and our chip is just yet another ARMv7 chip which the linux kernel supports pretty well, so what makes an ARMv7 chip different from any other ARMv7 chip ?
Do they optimize the kernel so far that they strip anything useless for each phone out of it, effectively rendering each kernel useless on any other phone ?
One last question : wouldn't building a generic ARMv7 kernel from this page be a good starting point ? (msm projet is for Qualcomm hardware) : https://source.android.com/source/building-kernels.html#figuring-out-which-kernel-to-build
Note that I might be daydreaming here and I don't fully realise what amount of works this implies.

You need to spend some time reading the existing threads such as the root thread etc where alot of this has been covered. http://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/help/root-ability-phone-t3116179
4.7" and 5.5" models have different hardware
The whole forum about Idol 3 is a big mess to me because most people do not realize that the Idol 3 comes in many different hardware configurations.
Indeed we should start stating comments in for at least 5.5 and 4.7 models. (GPU/3g/4g is different and what else) or for both if it applies.
Although this forum already implies it's about a 5.5 model according to the home page, there are many different hardware models discussed! We need active moderators when roms start roling to distinguish ourselfs from lemmings!
Maybe ask a mod to make a 4.7 model sub-forum.
According to Alumia Italia there's a 2022 version of Galaxy Tab S6 Lite coming:
https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1522831548642385921
This new version has a Snapdragon 720G CPU in stead of an Exynos 9611 in the 2020 version
Noob question here.
When I look at LineageOS supported Samsung devices, I see the majority are Exynos. There are a few snapdragon devices supported for Samsung and of course other manufacturers.
Since the 2020 Tab S6 Lite seems to be one of the newer tablets that is supported by LineageOS, I'm wondering if this move to Snapdragon means the 2022 version is unlikely to be supported.
Not asking about future predictions, but rather because I'm ignorant of the differences between the chips/chip mfgs/device mfgs.
Is there something inherent about Snapdragons that make it hard to open up for customizing?
Is it more of a difficulty due to Samsung decisions around how they implement devices with Snapdragons vs Exynos? (Google pixels for example, of course have snapdragons and are great for LineageOS/Graphene
Anyway, would appreciate a small explanation if anyone can say why custom ROM support on Samsung non-Exynos devices seem to be so rare.
Thanks
The reason why you see so few custom ROMs for Snapdragon-based Samsung devices (phones, mostly) is that these devices are usually ones in the North American market, whereas Exynos is used internationally. Samsung's NorthAm devices are locked down tight with their Knox nonsense, which means the bootloader can't be unlocked (a prerequisite for installing a custom ROM). That's why you tend to only see custom ROMs for international versions of their phones.
Tablets, I think, are another matter, at least for the Wi-Fi-only variants (I can't speak to all the LTE variants as I don't own one or have any experience with them). Tablets are generally region-agnostic and can usually be used anywhere, so it makes no sense for Samsung to clamp down on them (unlike their phones), no matter which processors they use. So, if Samsung were to release a Snapdragon refresh of the Tab S6 Lite, I'm betting that it'll be able to be unlocked... provided this whole thing actually comes to pass, of course.
