Hey devs and XDA in general
I'm wondering if anyone has thought about grabbing that SDK that came with the Edge and putting it in a ROM for the Note 4? I already have a Note 4 and I love it, but that SDK for the edge section would be fun to have on my phone.
If someone's already asked this question, forgive my repetition and point this nerdhacky girl in the right direction. Thank you!

Wrong place to ask - should be in the QA section. THis area is for Devs to post development work, roms and such.
Good luck though - hope you get the answer you are looking for.
Why will we want that...

wrong section
Not trying to shoot down your idea, but what would you hope to accomplish? Without the edge display I don't see what the SDK would do...
everyone might not want it but i think it might be cool
i think i'd like the way the edge display looks better than multi window, and i'm curious to see if it can be added. i finally saw a note Edge in the wild and after looking at it next to my 4, i think that I made the right choice. Still, if you could just TRY the software to see if I like it.....

The Note Edge’s curved screen may look like it’s separate from the phone’s
main display, but the two are actually one panel. As a result, apps look as
though they cascade over the side of the Edge.
This is why I think that sooner or later some of the developers will be able
to port the Note Edge rom for our Note 4.
It would be like a very enhanced multi-view feature which we already have.
Unfortunately, the Edge’s main viewing area is slightly smaller than the
Note 4’s, 5.6 inches vs. 5.7 inches. At times the Edge’s cascading effect
makes apps look as though they are being cut off, even though they aren’t.
It’s a rather odd optical illusion that takes a bit of getting used to.
Good luck!

Looks like I got one of the last N1's before they became extinct this week.
I must say, it is head and shoulders above the magic in termes of build quality.
A few q:
I miss the hard buttons though, I seem to hit the home soft key all the time when using the trackball. Any solution to that?
Also, it seems the side of my thumb is not "capacitive" enough to swipe the screen. I have to use my index! Is this normal? It seems my magic screen was more responsive.
On a more serious note, mine came with Eclair 2.1 update. I used the shaved battery method to root successfully and I'm now on FRF85b. What is the proper procedure to move up to frf91 without loosing root.

Sorry I can't post the url to the update, you got to copy and paste it. But I suggest you visit the post on how to update your phone to frf91, since you might not know how to manually update already. It is on the 3rd page of topics in this section.

Will this hose my custom recovery?
When you're holding the phone and swiping the screen with your thumb on the screen side opposite your hand, it might be your hand is touching/reacting to the screen, so it's not reading your thumb.
The Nexus One screen is very close to the edge of the phone so your hand probably is manipulating the.screen.
If any is that makes sense to you.

you sir, are god among living men
I'm getting the myTouch 3g slide for Christmas and was trying to see if anyone could explain to me on how to make the Galaxy S' puzzle lockscreen for the myTouch 3g Slide in a video or by instructions. All help is greatly appreciated.
I'm pretty positive that couldn't be done since I believe it is apart of Touchwiz. Unless you could port Touchwiz which would probably have issues since it runs under a different resolution.
well can u do that for me then? i don't care about the screen resolution, all i want is the puzzle lockscreen.
I haven't looked into the res folder myself, but theoretically couldn't someone just change the background of the lock screen to a puzzle and change the slider to a puzzle piece?

12 years of age, which must mean you're in middle school. 1 school too many, because research has already been introduced in elementary school.

That's a half working launcher, not actual TouchWiz. Do some research before you try to school people.

When he meant screen resolution he meant that the apps were designed for a higher resolution. The app doesn't alter your screen, you'd have to port the apps images to MDPI, and then port TouchWiz, which isn't easy. At all.
ive been with XDA a while now and it keeps me off the streets and away from drugs and alcohol. I have had the Infuse, Note 1 and now the Mega 6.3.
I have rooted and flashed more times than I can count, even if I take my shoes off, except for the Mega. (stooped bootloader)
having a few minor issues with my Mega and have been given the option to trade in. even with its issues, I love the real estate of 6.3 inches. who wouldn't right?
once you feel the girthyness, a 5.? screen just doesn't cut it.
so in the store I discovered the Flex and was surprised to find out it is a 6 inch screen. that I can deal with.
I have been doing some reading here as to the satisfaction with the device. I do trust the majority of folks here on XDA and would like to solicit even more feedback. maybe some inclination as to the possible future of development here.
let her rip
I can attest to the awesomeness of the screen real estate for sure! It is a 720p screen so keep that in mind, but videos and pictures do not suffer bc of it.. I absolutely love the way it feels in hand, in pocket, and during a phone call. This is the first phone I've used that I can pinch between my shoulder and cheek, and not have someone complain because they can't hear me anymore.. The phone is only lacking in one area, IMO, and that would be the lack of integration of the screen.. The lock screen effect is cool, but I'd like to see that utilized in menus, Chrome, Google Now and the like..The battery is a damn monster, no doubt about it! I easily get two days worth of use and 6 hours screen time every charge cycle!

I did mean to add that I love my flex. As to development it's looking like a bootloader bypass is in the near future with several devs already saying they're bringing AOSP based ROMs and I know I'll be releasing a stock based with light theme work (i.e. no more ugly grey).

I recognise your avatar from the Note threads, or was it the Infuse? Although I havent seen it in a while.
As stated, I did see and have read 2 or 3 post with the like or dislike agenda in the threads. I am also aware if the many threads that exist in the context of "what is the best rom".
The future of the development was intended to be the main question. I got the Mega in hope of a real future in development for the phone and now it is all but dead, for At&t variation that is. I was attempting to not walk down that road again.
With your experience here and a recognized face sort of speak, I tbought that your XDA experience, and others alike, might see that and offer the valued insight I seek.
But I thank you for your very predictable response.

The Flex hasn't been out that long. With time development should pick up but who really knows. LG locked it down good and at this time we have no recovery. I'm a flash whore as well but it's nice to take a break and get other things done. lol

It's an awesome phone. Like LG's software better as well. Runs smoother than my note 2 and feels better in the hand. I honestly don't think you go wrong if you decide on this phone. Best thing to do is go to a store and test it out. Worse case you have 14 days to test drive it, just need to pay the 50$ restocking fee.
Personally haven't felt the need to root this beast yet. It does amazing out of the box.

I think I'm going to switch to the Note 3. I have a few apps that I use that don't work properly on this phone, that worked perfectly fine on my Note 2. Also I miss the physical home button. I end up hitting the onscreen home button rather than the spacebar on my Flex, and I hate that.
Don't get me wrong, I love the Flex, and I would keep it if it weren't for those issues. I think if you factor out this issues I have, its a much nicer device

I hated that as well lol. There is the option to swipe the bottom row keys to the right or left. It might help some, but I found that it becomes a nuisance after a while. I was in your boots as well and did make the switch to the N3 and am happy. I miss the curve and a few small nuances of the Flex, but I don't regret switching.
Pretty sure the G2 xposed app lets you shrink the nav bar so you won't hit the button by mistake. LG needs to have that option with stock.

Today I received a message from Samsung that the lockscreen "My Interests" will end on 17.11.2015.
They do not tell the reason.
See my screenshot for the message.
I haven't found anything about this in the web.
I'm really upset about this. Samsung has promoted the feature especially.
Edit: It is 17.11.2015. Maybe a mod could fix this in topic

I care! This used to be the "Travel" wallpaper option (Note 2, Note 3) powered by TripAdvisor. On Note 4 it changed to My Interest and added new categories for image sources. I've been using it since Note 2.
Any good alternatives for Lock Screen wallpaper cycling?
I am actually using the other weather wallpaper can it is currently working
I just started using it a few weeks ago.
I mean its no surprise, Samsung backstabs customers wherever possible.
First the updates, then the stupid exclusivity (themes/slimTouchWiz), and now this?
Its just not surprising anymore.
Bought a Z3C recently, it OWNS my Note 4 Exynos regarding multitasking and performance. Never again - even if it means I have to give up my beloved ZeroLemon.
I've been using it since the Note 4 came out, I absolutely love it (used it for landscapes, night shots and travel). I will sorely miss it. Anyone have any interesting substitutes.

Yeah Exynos sucks pretty bad. My snapdragon Note 4 dances circles around my Exynos Tab S
I also tried to setup different backgrounds for launcher and lockscreen, but didn't succeed.
My idea was to use the Muzei wallpaper as a substitute for the Interests lockscreen, and have another wallpaper for the launcher (Nova, in my case).
So I was perusing ye olde rom page and saw the latest cm. I used to love CM. But I don't want to lose my pen features. I know some alternatives exist, and I'm ok with using them I think, but I want the full feature set too.
I found a launcher alternative similar to notebuddy http://www.emandt.net/Android/SPenCommand/Website/
not sure if I will get it but it looks fully featured like the regular TW one is.
Which brings me to my question, is there an app out there that will let me screenshot the screen and pull text from whatever I select like the TW feature set allows? That seems to be the only thing I can't find. Screen writing, note taking, the rest seems all easily findable, That however is lacking and I use quite often.
Anybody have any information?
So I'm guessing with the no replies that spen on AOSP is dead in the water? Or is the note 4 forums just deserted? Very strange nobody has answered this.
Notebuddy
2 years is a long time in the mobile world and most note 4 users have already moved on.
When I was on CM, I would use Notebuddy and it's s-pen addon.

Yes and no. Normally I would agree 4 years is a long time. But look at what has come out in that time. Samsung has dropped and picked back up many features that people still want that the note 4 still features. Hardware wise it isn't even far behind, if proper roms are built for it.
Idk, maybe it's just me. I just hate to see this phone die when the n5 is garbage lacking sd card and IR, with removable battery. Everything more or less seems like a downgrade or minor upgrade. N4 is an amazing device and I see no reason it should drop support just yet.

I used emandt's setup and it was alright. There are some playstore spen apps that add feature, not sure if the select crop is one of them though. Most spen addons from playstore require payment for the useful options to work.
