On my SE Arc I am running JJ's Hybrid ROM which uses the Sony stock ROM as a base but is heavily tweaked to look like AOSP. Is there any thing like this for the Note - maybe a combination of ROM and a theme? Basically I like the look of AOSP but would like all full functionality of TW. Thanks.
I have been wondering the same. I have not come across anything.

I don't really understand this - why don't you just install another launcher that looks more like AOSP? My personal choice is Nova, but there are plenty of others.

Of course I can install another launcher – but that is not my issue. In many ways I do not actually mind TW Home and sometimes use this as well as Nova when I am on a Touch Wiz ROM. But what I do not like about Touch Wiz is the more than launcher it is the settings menus, the icons and the overall look. JJ’s hybrid ROM looks AOSP but gives you full functionality – something that no CM/AOKP ROM I have ever tried has managed to do (actually there is the 2.3 ROMs on my Hannspad), although don’t get me wrong I do appreciate the devs work and I have happily donated when using those ROMs. But with CM9 we are missing the FM radio and on the Note we are also missing the MHL HDMI functionality. I don’t often use these these but occasionally I do. JJ’s ROMs have been on my Arc since March. For me this is a record as I am a complete ROM whore.
At the moment I am using Chrack’s v12 and I am happy, but still looking….
Hey there,
This has probably been answered before. so a simple redirect would be ok.
I love the stock look of the N7000 (menu buttons and locker) but all of the 4,3 roms have the Nexus menu buttons and app locker suck. I find those horrible to use.
First question... what would it be called (kinda nooby when it comes to launchers and such).... Are they called AOSP or AOKP or something.. or is it completely different.
Are there any roms which look like the stock rom.. but with enhanced features with the new 4.3 features?
Thanks in advance.
Ricky
aosp, aokp, cm, miui are just rom types.
By saying menu buttons you mean the whole look of an interface. You mean You want this stock 4.1.2 samsung blue stuff?
Because if this is what You want you may want to download samsung theme for cm from the google play.

I'm using PA myself and it allows for nice customization when it comes to looks. Have you tried that? There are also a few fun launchers that might solve your cosmetic issue. Is it mostly the new DPI settings you're having trouble with? Or just the general art style of Android?

I haven't tried PA yet. Next on the list.
I am looking for a stock icons/colour scheme, the apps logo not to look like the nexus variation of droid. Just me being an oldschool stock visuals.

I'm currently running Lungo ROM (android 4.0.4) because it's light.
If You are searching for more functions use PA, or the best "Jellybam".
That's the best ROM ever, but it uses a LOOOOT of memory.
I've been trying different ROM and each one seems to have their own unique hiccups. I'm looking for a ROM that stable and have all the features as a stock ROM. So far the closest to that is Aurora Full Note7 by Lanc-City. The only issues I'm having is that it sometimes it lag, mms group text doesn't work, and charging does not charge right.
[ROM] Maximum OvrDriVE 6.0.1 MM V3.2 (8/24/16) [910T/910W8/910T3] has been good, however, the dev has moved on so there is no continued development on it.

If you want everything working then go stock, root, install xposed with your favorite modules and get a good launcher.
I go back and forth between stock and project L ROM by Lanc-City.

I was using EPJ2 for a while and it's the best stock update so far. Had no issues with barely any lag. But I rooted I am now using Aurora 3.1 since I miss my note 7 lol. I had to use Textra since group messaging isn't working and no wifi calling. It's so far filling that void. I'm sure a lot of ex note 7 users can relate.
AICP and Broken are amazing
My daily driver, seemingly forever, will remain Emporia ROM (AKA Rapture ROM) on 5.1.1 Lollipop
I don't have an explanation why, but this ROM is WAY more fluid in every single aspect of the UI than any other ROM on marshmallow or Lollipop, and I have tried them all. Yes I am aware you can set animation speeds to be faster, etc. But even with them set to the default speed of 1x (I default use .5x for most), the entire ROM is more FLUID. Each transition is more smooth, every app opens faster and without lag, scrolling in every single app is WAY more fluid, etc. I actually noticed a huge visual difference between this ROM and stock or custom MM. The user experience is just way better in every way than Maximum Overdrive, Stock MM, Stock LL, etc.
Battery life is approximately the same for me on both MM and LL using Greenify on both. Doze doesn't seem to make a difference at all for me, when using greenify on both versions of Android. I get within 15 minutes of SOT on either one, so battery life is practically the same.
Finally, Lollipop still has all the features that Samsung so foolishly removed in MM! Namely, Smart Select is still amazing, it still has the engine for optical character recognition that is missing in MM, it still can select multiple things, and it can still open apps if it detects and address/phone number/etc!
So, basically, Emporia is the best ROM for me, and I have literally tried all of them. I do miss the full screen action memo's of Lollipop, but the extreme speed and fluidity throughout the system, never encountering a single bug, and the amazing features still present in Smart Select beat out all the insignificant improvements of MM.
Plus, I ported an AOSP theme for the notification area to Emporia ROM, that makes it a much more lovely experience.

Is this the stock that you used?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/general/odin-firmware-epj2-tw-6-0-1-note-4-t3486992
My daily driver is the N5/N7_6.0.1_port V1 and I use Nova launcher, a dark icon pack, dark wallpaper and (Google-inspired) Material Design dark from the samsung theme store. Basically looks like clean, dark AOSP on top and has all the Samsung features underneath.
Everything from the font and theming is smaller and more refined in the Note 5 which makes a huge difference to me and really is a big reason why the Note 5's screen looks more nicer than the Note 4 screen imo (they're both 1440p!).
Everything is quite stable but the stock camera app doesnt work (for me, I dont know abt others) (I use a third party app) and I also use a third party app for video playback (I cant find the stock video app). Keep in mind this is a chinese n5 port and there is some chinese characters next to the time and date. Time to brush up on some chinese I guess. (I havent seen any other chinese on it thou lolz)
Its pretty good for a port though based on fluidness. And yes I tried the Emporia ROM recommended earlier. I loved it and everything WaterMan said was true but the Note 4 default theming and fonts are too big imo for a quad HD screen. Also that's where I got my inspiration to get the Material Design dark theme so my notification bar and settings look like stock aosp (Thanks WaterMan!).
I also use a snapdragon-optimized chromium browser so its more snappier.
And that's my daily driver, for now. Lolz
PS: be sure to upgrade to EPE3 (6.0.1) before flashing.

The stock camera was working fine for me...the sports shot, food shot, etc. extensions weren't.
Can you post some screenshots of your setup? ?

I've never used those features before Now I want them!
Here you go!
The red icons are purposely not coherent (egg).
For a minimalistic dark setup, simplistic dark black and/or grey icons maybe some sophistication but very minimal and clean.
I took pics of Material design dark and Material design black themes. (Disclaimar: black theme is $1)
Wallpaper from 244 Quad HD Wallpapers for Galaxy Note 4 collection on XDA.
Material design black
I'm using CM-Remix but it's giving me mad problems. Mainly, the Google app keeps crashing and it locks up when rebooting, sometimes requiring 2 or 3 reboots or wiping cache. It's godawful annoying but my hatred for TouchWiz is the only reason I torture myself with this ROM.
I'm looking for a new ROM myself. Looks like a new build of DirtyUnicorns is coming very soon. I may give that another shot.

Weird because I'm using it and I don't have any problems!!
I've been on AICP for several months, very stable. Resurrection Remix is getting close to being pretty stable, it crashes the phone when uninstalling apps - only problem I found that prevented me from dailying it.
Gonna try going back to TW for a while for better camera usage, will be flashing Overdrive 6.0.1 for the first time.

Looks like it but mine was done via OTA before I decided to root.

I have no clue what's going on with my phone as every ROM I tried is either lagging, freeze, or randomly reboot. I'm thinking about going back to stock. When I was on stock it would lag as well but not as bad as what I'm experiencing now. I'm currently using my phone without my microsd card to see if that is the culprit.
I got a Note 3 recently because my iPhone 7 took a crap and I got it rooted and Safestrap installed but I quickly found out that most of the Lollipop ROMs for this device are extremely buggy. I decided to get back to stock OC2 that's rooted and I use Xposed to theme some things (Wanam barely works anymore) but I'm really looking for a dark theme dialer, contacts, settings and systemui because the ugly white and green and blue is just not appealing. After searching, I found just about zero info pertaining to blacked out apps or flashable themes for my stock de-odex Lollipop ROM on my Note 3. If anyone has any tips, tricks, links etc that would be great. Also looking for maybe a better alternative to Wanam if there is one? Thanks in advance.

So I'm late sorry about that. I use gravitybox on kitkat so I haven't really gotten to try this but there's an Xposed module called MonsterUI. The module is for Kitkat and what it does is makes your phone look like an S5 with it's own customizable options. Again I don't know how well it works but from the looks of it, it is good. You can get it in the play store if you need. You probably already know about it though.
Hi, guys, the other day was using an s7 and noticed built in samsung themes. You can apply different themes that will change mostly everything.
Many of them looks nice.
Anyone knows if there is a way to have theme support on note 4 6.0.1?
I did some google search and found some info, but always talking about 5.1.1
Thanks.

You can flash any s7/note5/note7 ported custom rom for your model.
You will get all the features from new device's including theme support.
