Note 4 rom on S5 (G906S)

Found this on a korean web
http://sayanogen.tistory.com/entry/Note4-Firmware-on-Galaxy-S5-광대역-LTEA-SMG906S
Seems like he is using Note 4 from China with TD-LTE

Is there a real difference between S5 and note 4?. Does it worth the change?

This is actually pretty cool, since both share nearly identical specs. Anyone dare to try it?

Ofcource Note3 and S5+ gets the ported rom, -.-' devs have no love for this device...

The build quality of note 4 alone is worth upgrading.. It is indeed the best looking Samsung ever.. I have both s5 and note 4 performance wise I would say my rooted s5 with Alliance rom and custom kernel runs way better than note but that should change in the coming months as note 4 gets better rooms and kernel and touch wiz is finally bearable with a few ui tweaks..

Note 4, not 3. The S5 has a different processor.
And in any event (sadly) more people like huge phones. C'est la vie.

Snapdragon 801 for S5 and Snapdragon 805 for Note4, should be possible to port it.
Toobad no ones has the power to do so.

The G906s and G901 have snapdragon 805, the same one in the Note 4. The G906S/K are almost identical in hardware to a Note 4 so should it not be easier to port the ROM?

Actually, SD801(which is simply overclocked SD800) is VERY different from SD805 when you come to porting. Especially when you look at modems. While SD801/800 is All-In-One SoC MSM8974 which has integrated modem (and leaves no room in customization by OEM), SD805 is application SoC APQ8084 and uses external modem chip which can be different and gives a lot of customization possibilities (and makes porting task very difficult). Even for different markets, different modems can be used in Note 4. And by itself APQ8084 has a lot of differences comparing to MSM8974.
Lucky G906 users, they have almost the same hardware as Note 4, even screen resolution.

Thnx for explaining guys

no snapdragon in next generation Galaxy phones?

Does this mean no Snapdragon in Note 5?

Report says that Samsung won't use Snapdragon 810 in Galaxy S6, overheating issues to blame
By Harish Jonnalagadda | Jan 21 2015 | 4:25 am | 12 Comments
Samsung
Over the last few years, Samsung has stuck to a release model for its flagships that sees the inclusion of Qualcomm chips for LTE markets, and Exynos-based variants in South Korea and emerging markets. That may change with the Galaxy S6, as a report out of Bloomberg states that Samsung won't offer a Snapdragon 810 variant of the Galaxy S6 on grounds of overheating issues.
Citing people familiar with the matter, Bloomberg says that Qualcomm's eight-core Snapdragon 810 "overheated during the Korean company's testing," with Samsung finally deciding not to use it altogether. Samsung will instead launch the Galaxy S6 with an in-house Exynos SoC. The South Korean manufacturer has been making huge strides in the field of application processors, with the latest version featuring an integrated LTE modem.
Samsung isn't far off in terms of processing power when seen against Qualcomm's offerings, but the vendor, along with everyone else in the segment including MediaTek, Intel and Nvidia, are miles behind Qualcomm when it comes to LTE modems. For instance, Qualcomm announced that it will offer the Snapdragon 810 with an LTE Category 9 modem that can attain download speeds of up to 450 Mbit/sec.
If Samsung is indeed looking to boycott the Snapdragon 810, it may be in the minority, as LG's G Flex 2 has Qualcomm's eight-core SoC, and HTC's upcoming One M9 is also expected to feature Qualcomm's latest.

If Samsung skips it due to overheating issues should we be concerned about flagship devices using it?

Why should they do that when they have been using Qualcomm for past many years? It's a business, not fight among kids where you need to give a useless logic. If Samsung just wanted to use Exynos, they would simply do so without even talking about Qualcomm. There is no logic to giving any sort of explanation.

Right. It's a business. And using their own in house chip is cheaper. This is a smoke screen.

The Exynos 7 is so powerful it may have the 810 trumped. I wish the SD 805 had issues that forced Samsung to go with only the Exynos 5433 on the note 4, lol. Exynos is now top of the line. The days of the octa 5420 (which is still very powerful) are over. The cat 9 of the 810 is impressive though

Well it's all rumours until the phone actually shows up, personally don't mind either one, as both the Snapdragon and Exynos (which one though?) seem to be beasts.
But some modders might not like the Exynos

 @harish Jonnalagadda, why are you mentioning Cat 9 modem as it is of much importance here? Samsung already is planning for in-house Cat 10 modem, so why suddenly Cat 9 be of any importance. Forget Cat 9/10, how many regions can actually exceed Cat 6??

Bit of a worry really, as if it is a problem with the 810 chip itself, the other vendors will have issues. On the other hand, if it is simply the design of the S6 that is to blame for the issues then Sammy are not doing such a great job.
Either way, I'm glad I'll be skipping this years offerings, hopefully 2016 will have stable CPU choices, 2K with no lag and type C USB

If the overheating issues are a fact, then Samsung would have an edge if they designed a mean SoC. Especially if their competitors are going for the 810.
I've also been missing the Wolfson DAC, since the Exynos version is impossible to find unless I'm looking abroad. Would be nice to have that opportunity.

With all the reported issues in the 810, I'd avoid any phone based on it, and wait for one based on the 820.
It would be better if Samsung stuck to one CPU per Galaxy model though, IMO, I remember the Note 2 being Exynos globally, if I'm not mistaken?

That's correct, the Note 2 was quite strange in that it was only Exynos which I was sure was an error since most other Samsung devices used Qualcomm in the US and some other territories but it does seem to be the case.

That's correct, there were variants with different radio support but they all used the Samsung Exynos platform rather than Snapdragon. I initially assumed a friend in the US was wrong when he said his US Note 2 was Exynos but when I read up on it I couldn't find any variants using a Snapdragon platform.

Hm, I didn't know! Usually, we get the SD where I live. Our S3 was Exynos. I stand corrected.

snapdragons this generation and the next suck so im happy they decided to ditch it for the s6. maybe we will get a 64 bit kernel for our note 4s finally if they go all in on exy 7s for the s6.

They should put a heatsink fan on s805

Personally, i give a damn on what processor the Note 5 will use (as that will be my next phone or maybe the Note 6). Because what matters to me is that the CPU and ofc the GPU gives me good performance and as long as i can root and install a good custom ROM on the Note without any hassles or problems, then i will be all happy.
I know there are more support for the Snapdragon CPU's when it comes to custom ROM's, but i do believe it's alright for the Exynos version to if i'm not wrong here?

Agree. I tried out Note 4 with SD at Best Buy and decided to go with Exynos version. The lags and stutters on SD version are too obvious. Also not happy with audio/music quality on SD DAC.

You mean you don't give a damn? Anyway, CPU performance is hardly a problem these days. A lot more of it is in software optimization. The support for the SD SoCs is a lot bigger, since it's everywhere. More closed source SoCs, like the Exynos, are only to be found in Samsung's phones. It's harder to develop a proper CM for it due to closed source libs, but some of the most skilled developers in here are still doing some amazing work.

Personally, I think Samsung should go for the Exynos, as Qualcomm has hardly any competition. With Samsung being one of the biggest manufacturers, I think it can make a huge difference. If Samsung is just consistent, using only the Exynoses in their flagships at least.

Exynos Note 4 users can expect a increase in Android development if the chip used in the S6 is similar enough =)

Exynos Note 4 vs Snapdragon Note 7

Has someone made a speed test comparing these two?
Would love to see this but haven't spotted this comparison yet on youtube.
For those of you with both devices, how do they compare speed wise?

Try a search in Google - many comparisons come up as options!

why would you want the exynos note 4?
it has ancient Cat.4 modems not integrated into chipset, and many users still complaining about connectivity issues.
snapgragon Note 4 has Cat.6 qualcomm modem that is way better.

I just did snapdragon is faster. It was unlocked note 7 snapdragon vs unlocked note 4 exynos

so is exynos vulnerable to meltdown or spectre?

I haven't seen anything specific about the exynos chipset yet?

yep NSA already have a copy of your porn collection

A handful of cortex cores are affected so any exynos chip using one of those cores will be affected. Arm has a list of affected cores.
https://developer.arm.com/support/security-update

Are Samsung's later Exynos CPU's using fully custom cores? Or are they modified versions of existing ARM architectures?
The Snapdragon 820 and 835 CPU's use customised variants of the A72 and A73 cores, though Qualcomm use their own name.

Pretty sure they're their own cores.. with that LITTLE big design... I assume that design is still in use
Edit: Nope I was wrong:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exynos#List_of_ARMv8_Exynos_SoCs
> Exynos 9 Octa 8895
> Cortex-A53 (GTS)
So It looks like its immune to these issues:
https://developer.arm.com/support/security-update

So far from recent reports all current CPUs are affected by the hack.

TBH it is a VERY large number of current and recent and not so recent CPU's are affected.
Close enough to all of them that finding one that are NOT affected is a rare thing.

What about performance after installing January 2018 security patch on Samsung devices ?
We will se any performance issues ?

Contacted samsung asking about whether 8895 is affected by spectre bug. In an email reply, they didnt specifically mention if its affected, but said that the december security patch is to solve it.
In another word, 8895 is affected.

According to this:
https://security.samsungmobile.com/securityUpdate.smsb
Spectre and Meltdown is fixed in January 2018 patch.
Similiar case was with Krack and Blueborne. For example they fixed it in Security level month 2, but I got this fixed with Security level month 1 update. So Spectre and Meltdown could be fixed too in december security patch.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 vs Note 9 (8GB) - Speed Test

I wanted to create a dedicated thread for this. Speed test between the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (8GB) and the Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Which one launches applications and games faster, which one gets better benchmark (Antutu and Geekbench) scores, find out in this video.
mod edit - link removed

I can tell you my note 8 was 200000 or so on antutu, note 9 was 284000. Haven't run geekbench yet.
Edit.... geekbench 4 note 8 sc 1850 mc 6646
Note 9 sc 2432 mc8863

even though it pretty much the same hardware as the S9+ it is also faster than that phone too.
