Question for the future
If i ever wanted to root the note to stock android will i lose the functionality of the spen?
I am sure i will loose as soon as its pulled out i get that pie grid to choose for options, and not alert me when the pen is not in its holster, but other then that will it work the same as far is it bewing drawn on the screen etc.
I really love the spen but i cant stand touchwiz and androild L looks way to sexy to pass up.
If the past is any indication, you'll need a stock based ROM for any spen functionality. No big deal though, just install the launcher of your choice and Xposed (if it works with L) and you'll be good to go.

Definitely, as it is a direct feature of only Samsung phones... at least the features they offer, you could probably get the S-pen to work, but it would be no different than a 3rd party device, very basic and lacking...
On the note 2v many of the spen features so work on CM11 I am assuming it will be the same for the note 4 when it is done. It does not have all of the two features, (screen capture, write on picture, etc), will not work, but the hover and general interaction does

If your talking about flashing an (AOSP or CM based) android L rom. Then yes, you will not have the same functionality of the spen as you do now.
But if your talking about when ever Android L update in available for note 4. Then you can root, and will keep all spen features.
Personally I don't understand why Pple buy the Note just to flash a non stock (AOSP, CM) Rom. You lose so many features that where designed for this phone. My opinion if you have to have a CM based rom, buy a Nexus.
Anybody who doesn't use a stock based rom. I'm curious to why not?
I don't know if you saw but there is this new video of AOSP booting on the S6, since the S6 and the Note 5 both use the Exynos 7420 SoC does that mean we can expect AOSP very soon for our Note 5?

No kernel source, no AOSP. Way to many bugs for starters...only time can tell.
looks like dev's waiting for 6.0
Within a few months. This should be very soon because the phone with same chip already have AOSP ported, easy for porting into other devices...
Hello, I'm looking for a ROM that is frequently updated or still taken care of and is a port of pixel with some extra features or improvements. Thanks!
here for your question..

Just to point out the obvious here, but porting the Pixel settings and camera apps is simply not possible for our device. If that is what the OP is expecting, prepare to be disappointed.
Want a rom that is kept updated then make it yourself. Want Pixel features, then get a pixel.
Pure Nexus Rom and a few others offer those features

Hi community, are there any rom with android pure or stock experience as AOSP, Pixel experience, etc for the note8.? I could support, thanks
As far as I have seen, no, there are no aosp roms for note 8, I think it is really pointless to convert a note series device into a simpler samsung featuresless device, to that intent, you could have gotten a much cheaper device, or pixel to that effect
Hello
I have been looking for a stock rom for the note 8 and i haven't found any, i thought i would find a lineage os rom but there was nothing..
Is there a stock android rom for the note 8?!
Useless on a Note !

By "stock rom" do you mean vanilla ? , then why did you get a samsung galaxy device? Specially a note series one? Better get a pixel or something like it, why getting a samsung galaxy note device, to later downgrade it?

I have never understood why people do this.
They want some high end phone first. Then suddenly learn about custom roms and are like i want to flash this now.
Better donate the extra money to devs here instead of spending stupidly.
I'm just adding my sentiment. If you want stock Android, get a Pixel device or Motorola or Nokia or almost anything else. You buy a Samsung device for the features they add. If you don't like or use those features, then don't buy something for $1,000 just to essentially cripple it afterwards.

Lineage 15.1 was released yesterday for the note 8, it is in alpha stage though.
Clean Android not only reduces these devices in terms of function (S Pen, Iris, gestures, etc), but also removes the appeal of Sammy phones. I'm using Pie on my z2 Force, as well as my Pro 3. Whilst both have active development, my N8 is the new king on the hill.
Anyway, it's best to buy another phone like the Moto Z4, Poco F1, Pixel, or Essential for plain Android.

I think that some people are just plain stupid. They don't relise that most of the features of Stock Android come from other android OEM skins. Just because Stock Android is simple doesn't make it better. Even 3rd party Custom OSes don't support the same features on a Note device.

Couldn't agree more on this. I bought my note 8 after i have used a note 8 port rom on my j7 2016.
And honestly i will prefer the note this way and i haven't even rooted yet. I miss viper4android so much but atleast we have Dolby atmos in N8.

Exactly, you buy a note device for what i gives not what you can mod it into using a custom rom. Root and xposed is an other thing, but custom rom, that too an AOSP ? Completely dumb people out there.
I think it is about choice, not stupidity, like it's said a couple of times here.
Let people do what they want with their phone, like you do.
The thing is i am a university student and thought that i would use the pen.. turned out i didn't use it nor did i use any of the other features..
Second i am not from the US so pixel is not an option unless i would pay around 100 to 200 extra dollar to get it without a warranty.. this goes to the oneplus..
Other thing is the samsung devices are premium with good camera and great displays which is important for me..

You do know that once you install a custom OS on the Note. The camera quality goes down. As custom OSes do not have the same camera optimisation software as the Samsung Stock OS.
I was planning to use the pixel camera app

Of course yo would, that is the point, once you install a stock android,, the camera will no longer be driven by the samsung software, exactly what iceepyon told you, the samsung hardware is specifically constructed to work efficiently with samsung firmwares
Wow
A person asks about a custom vanilla rom, and look at some of the answers. So glad to live in 2019 when XDA posts are turned into youtube comments on taylor swift videos.
People are not "dumb or stupid" if they're looking for customization options on XDA. They're maybe "wrong" in some cases. Just tell them why.
To answer your question:
These days there are too many flagships and midrange phones out there. Also The oems use different hardwares and barely release their source codes and drivers. Plus, stock roms are way more feature rich and fluid than before. For all these reasons the development of vanilla based roms is limited and less reasonable for most phones. Except pixel phones and Android one phones. Even there, all different roms are lineage-based and basically the same, with same features and same bugs! But different visuall traits!
There is a Lineage os for note 8.0 but in very early stages. About other custom roms (stock based), they do a great job in terms of features and removing so called bloatwares, but personally I recommend you staying on stock because unlike few years ago, stock roms get you better performance, features, battery life, etc. I'm currently using pixel 2 and note 8 and trust me, you get bored by plain android!
