Do you guys think we might get a port from the S6 to the Note 4 once we get our beloved lollipop Kernel? I love the new software improve and the lack of clutter, but the design and lack of other features (cough sd card, removable battery) really kills it. I've tried some of the leaked apps out on my Note 4 on the CM Nightlies but the only one that works is the Smart Remote. But seriously you think we might get a port in the future? :good:
one can only hope.
I think so once the kernel is released for lollipop for the n4

You can probably pull a couple things (which a few are already on the playstore), but not port the whole sucker, at least not without a ton of problems.
My boyfriend who has the S4 already has the ported version.
Hi everybody
another bad news :http://www.sammobile.com/2015/07/16...ont-ever-get-most-of-the-galaxy-s6s-features/
as you can see on my signature , i was fan of sony , me and so many other people boycotted sony because of its bad support and its lies ...
i switched to note 3 , mmmm i should say that was good , very goon in compare of sony products . after that i decided to upgrade to note 4 . unfortunately , those days , samsung's policy is confusing me :http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/shealths-spo2-stress-level-removed-t3157312
i donno why Samsung want to give its technology with dropper ! no theme store , no 64 bit unlock , this country have shealth option and another counter shouldn't have , no new touchwiz ... and as you can hear these days , the 5.1.1 update on note 4 will be the same as 5.0.1 on my high end phone ... it seems samsung don't care about users requests. do u think its hard for samsung to port the new touchwiz on note 4 ? or its impossible to open the theme store for note 4 ?
this kind of attitude remind me what sony said on xperia mini pro ( the hardware can't support multitouch ==> but a developer did ) and on xperia play ( is not compatible with android 4.0 m the drive problem ==> but a developer solved )
you know , i don't like apple phones , but when people talking about apple product support , i want to respect them and say OSSSSSS...,
yeah , the samsung's policy is not user friendly and i can see the they are losing their customer ! I hate the DROPPER policy ...
Agree agree Samsung forgot everything about note 4 they don't care about us , the only thing they care is about money when they lunch there product they like uuu we have the best of the best this device can this and that and bla bla and after a few weeks they **** on our faces and make a note 5 that can do everything and have the latest update .
So take it as a Samsung user from s4 n2 n3 N4 do never ever buy this broken phone again I swear I've used so many time trying to flash and reflash wipe installing fixing it like a disses so promise me do never buy Samsung broken phone this N4 is my last note 4 , I'm going for nexus series next buy p3obly when I've paid this broken phone
They promise and promise and nothing happens
so true, Note 4 is a lovely device. Samsung is ruining it. I am going for a iPhone or a nexus next time. I wish Note 5 sales cripple so that they get the message. After being with Samsung for more than 5 years starting with Galaxy S I9000, Note 4 is my last
This is my last samsung device, only motorola/nexus or iphone for upgrades.
If it is about hardware limitation I can understand that .
But to port most of the new S6 stuff to Note 4 by developers from xda ........... that is something unacceptable from Samsung.
They should learn from Apple .... nearly all the new software features in the new iPhone will be available in the previous iPhones , and they are really selling very well.
Why they think if they make S6 software stuff available in Note 4, no one will buy S6 or Note 5 ??????
Any way my Note 4 still with 4.4.4 & because Samsung doesn't provide any new features I don't trust their updates & I believe they send updates to make more lag so you buy newer hardware.
I feel Samsung is selling us Smart feature phones with TouchWize where there is no ability to update or develop.
The update policy is definitely the biggest perversion in the smartphone business!

i always wondered does any person switch from an older phone to new cuz of gimmicks but this thread definetly shows people are so desperate for stuff they dont even care they just want new stuff whatever samsung will keep doing this as long as people carry on crying about useless stuff.
and samsung is a bad company on customer satisfaction and it havent change for years i just wonder what did you expect while you were buying a samsung device.
and crying for s6 stuff is so fail which s6 tw just sucks. i hope they wont bring it to note 4, i dont wanna use a unstable device with worst multitaskinf experience ive ever had.
ps:5.0.1 update is better than 4.4.4 you can definetly see whenever you put them side by side

I bought note 3 , note 4 for spen feature that is necessary for my job , as i said , the note 3 support was better and that was the reason to upgrade to note 4 (( i gave note 3 to my wife )) . further to the mentioned problems , i had so many driver fault on my phone till previous week ! my phone is exynos version and has so many GPU driver bug ... on previous week , i had to change my krenel again and finally googy kernel helped me.
i hard for me to say , but i think to say goodbye to samsung..

And you too?
I've happily owned the note, note 2 (twice), 3 (OnePlus One and then nexus 5) then note 4 (easily the best phone I've owned and current). This is my last Samsung though.
I'm looking forward to the Oneplus 2. Without removable battery and sd card slot, there is just no point in buying a note 5 (unless you are desperate for the s pen - which I use once or twice a week so I'm not!) and spending more than twice on a comparable sized device.
The OPO was awesome, but at the time screen sensitivity was poor until fixed by a release - of which they are so much quicker than Samsung have ever been!
Sammy is going down the swanny.:crying:
I think XDA members are never happy with any phone and never will. No 64bit? WOW what a huge difference.. really? No themes, omg lets buy an iphone. This logic is driving me crazy

the main logic in 2015 to keep customer is customer support . the people pay money and want best support , surely if something make them unhappy , they will think on change their next upgrade ... yes , its true about the technology market !

note 3 support was better seriously? its still using a very bad software. while i was using note 3 i decided that it will be my last samsung device but after note 4 came out i tested new software and i was satisfied about it and except call screen delay and gpu bug they made really a better software on lollipop way smoother and stable for me compared to kitkat. since i dont have any game on my phone gpu bug doesnt bother me aswell.
you can think whatever you want but trust me note 4 lollipop is way better than s6 s. i never use my s6 edge terrible battery life and worst multitasking experience ever i just think people have no idea about what they want, they just read tw is debloated and its fast and" we should get it omg they are threating us bad etc" its just marketing stuff. lol technology sites even published you can disable or delete useless stuff on s6 and note 4 users were still crying that we need it too and it was just possible on note 4 too.
well dont buy samsung again i really dont care about it but s6 doesnt really use a faster software dont get fooled by fake news. if you arent happy with note 4 its allright grab another phone. but just dont think everything besides your phone is awesome im having too many problems on my 6 plus too. if you can find the perfect phone in future pm me too ill grab it definetly. but until then im pretty sure ill skip note 5 and keep note 4.

LOL, so you will rather get updates quickly that are already lackluster and 4-5 years after the competition?
What's the point on just having the latest OS version on your phone when that latest version of iOS doesn't bring you anything that the other OS'es doesn't already have had for many years?
That's like saying that you care more about having a higher version number on iOS over what features and stuffs you get. Which in my opinion is stupid.
How many years did it take Apple to get 3rd party keyboards to iOS and how many more years will it takes Apple to get a theme store like every other Android OEMs have now?
Another 5-6 years to get a theme store?
Yeah you get my point.
But you are on XDA-Developers, which also means that if you are getting tired of waiting for Samsung or whoever that makes an Android phone to bring you a new Android version or any fixes, then you have the awesome freedom to fix that yourself here. With iOS, you have to wait for Apple to tell you when you can update your device and how you can use it and so on.
Here you can rather find developers that will fix all of your problems before Samsung or any of the other OEMs would put out any of those fixes themself. And just to take an example on what i'm talking about here. Samsung have said that the Note 4 wont get any of the S6's features and the new S6 TouchWiz UI. But the cool thing here is that someone have ported the S6 Edge ROM to the Note 4 where we have the newest TouchWiz UI and stuffs. The ROMs aren't posted about here on XDA-Developers, so you have to find them yourself.
Here we have the freedom to choose what WE as users of a product want. With iOS, you have to wait for Apple to tell you when you can update your device and how you can use your device after how Apple want's it to be.
EDIT: Samsung haven't abandoned the Note 4 at all. We will get Android M around March-April next year where we will get a new and refreshed TouchWiz UI and many of the features the Note 5 gets anyways.

Well if that's your only criteria then it's the perfect phone for you.
I guess you are not interested in customising your phone, taking full control over the operating system, file management, mods, or choice of phone. I am also guessing you enjoy being dictated to by what Apple says you can and can't do with your phone or install on your phone.
If you're happy with that then buy an iphone. You will probably have no further need for the XDA community either.

Does anybody think we'll get at least the new apps(like the gallery and dialer, I really hate our Stock dialer. )?
To me it seems Samsung has wrote off the Note 4, it's hardly had any support since it launched last year, I've now sold mine and gone back to my trusty Nexus 5 which even after nearly 2 years is still great.
I won't be buying the Note 5 or any other Samsung phones from now on, because 6 months down the line the Note 5 will be forgotten in favor of the S7.
I've also recently picked up a cheap Nokia 735, for use with Windows 10 for when it launches in a couple of months, currently testing the preview build of Windows 10 atm on it & it's shaping up to be a very decent OS.
If the apps situation improves with Windows 10 ie ports from both Android & iOS then I may consider switching fully to Windows in the future.
But for the time being at least my next smartphone will be another Nexus device.

I agree.
Look, at the end of the day there is NOTHING that says Samsung MUST give us new features, when you bought the phone you knew what you were getting, and crying about Samsung not bringing S6 features is laughable, you sound like someone who invested in shares of a company and got mad when they didn't make any profit, that is the risk. When it comes to buying a new gadget you must be happy with what it brings from Day 1.
The mere fact that we even get frequent updates makes us lucky.
If you were complaining about FW Bugs, and features being ruined e.g. GPU being made worse due to a FW Update, then THAT would be understandable as they are not delivering what they promised when you bought the device the GPU was fine.

I never liked Galaxy S series man , my only reason to use samsung - mobile is note - series . anyway , that u for sharing your experience
I keep seeing posts by people moaning about note 5 for what ? Sammy don't care about xda members.
Why don't we get all the best developers of note 4 owners to work together to port the Base of note 5 ROM over to note 4 and then they can all go each there own way and work on the ROM as they please.
PS. I think Sammy didn't include the ext sd because idiot Google started introducing the vague restrictions on what you can do with the ext sd. That combined with there war with apple.
I will go for note 5 when it comes to UK only because it has the spen which no other phone has so like so many others I won't be moving to LG or what ever.
Please developers work together in porting it over so we can get it faster to note 4.
this is always the dream/hope.

It would still be touchwiz. Thus slow and a waste of time.
When we get officialy 5.1.1 porting Roms like s6 edge and note 5 will be easier right? And they will even work better than they already do?

such a rom port would probably only be possible for note4s with exynos!

There where a lot of things devs said wouldn't be possible when the note 3 came out with the knoks chip but e still got our root sorted and able to flash custom roms and let alone rooting without triggering the knoks.
So I can assure you its possible but the more top devlepors that works together on it the better and quicker it will happen.
Sadly they ain't interested in doing so. They just working on roms for note 4 that are already working as that's easier.
Seems like we need a rough Dev to kick start this project.

The s6 and s6 edge are exynos too but Dr.keetan here on xda and friedrich420 on echoerom forum succeded in porting them to the note 4 f variant which is a snapdragon. So it should not be impossible

It surely is possible and it comes. Think of the S6 Edge ports.
But it will take time, until someone figures it out.
i have been looking into note 5 firmware and have a build that boots to bootanimation then reboots after 1-2 minutes but thats it
Of course it doesn't help that there is only an exynos note 5 and a good chunk of us has snapdragon

Hello, any working Note7 port rom to N920p Note 5 Sprint.
Thanks.
Damn no response this sucks for us
Sent from my SM-N920P using XDA-Developers mobile app
Please, some support for sprint, or a guide to flash any n7 port room and a working kernel combination, any help, very apreciated.
I coming from verizon note 5, no look with root, now got rooted on sprint, but no note 7 port.
I second this. I've tried countless times to flash a N7 port and tweak it to work. We're all at a loss as I guess the SM-N920P isn't getting much love any longer!
Alright, I know how all you guys feel as i have the n920p as well. I'm going to give some constructive advice here.
Stop waiting and start learning. NOW. There are HUGE strides being made in the sprint note 4 forums. Here I'll even get you started down the path.
Read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/general/sprint-datafix-note7-roms-finally-t3488434
Specifically, @tx_dbs_tx dropped some major knowledge that im pretty sure goes for us too.
This post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69394066&postcount=33
Heres more info if you have more time:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/general/sprint-datafix-note7-help-t3484249
While my presence is not well known on xda, I've been around for a while. I'm more active on telegram helping on the back end of ARISE. I'm also working on a n920p specific note 7 port for us.
The thing is that I'm learning every single thing as I go ALONE. Im not a dev and I refuse to ask skilled developers to take time from their projects to teach me things that i can search for on xda and Google. So don't expect or look for my port any time soon. Im a noob too unfortunately, that's just how it is.
If you are sick of not having options i just gave you one. Start working and stop waiting for others to rescue the n920p. If you are competent enough to flash a custom recovery, root your device, etc then you are also competent enough to read the basics and apply them to our ****ty Sprint situation.
I apologize if i sound like a complete ****, but at some point on a development website you are going to have to, you know, work on developing something or solving a problem.
2. Second option is to get upset and wait for something that's never going to come.
if you guys have better ideas please feel free to share.
my. 02 cents on the n920p.

Aurora boots and gets some sort of data connection.
I will go ahead and warn you that the porting process for the N7 UX software is quite intense. There is so many things that you will have to figure out the hard way. Updater-script, build.prop, libraries, apns, csc, framework files, porting of system apps, the list goes on. Now that I have already figured everything out, I know I can do it for the N5 but the problem is time. I am still working out minor kinks with my N7 port for our N4. When I get my rom finished for the most part I will get with you guys and see where you're at with your own N7 port for the Sprint N5 and if you haven't finished it by then I will build it out from memory and send it over here in the Sprint N5 forum. Sorry that I can't put aside my current project and start on another. I'd never get anything done this way. Just know that the biggest issues will be fingerprint scanner and AOD bug which both are dificult to fix. Keep this in mind if you rely heavily on fingerprint scanner for lockscreen, etc. Then again it may be easier to fix for the N5.

I've been meaning to shoot you a message. I've pretty much read every single post you have made on N4 data fixs. There are a few others but it's 5am.....lol Man don't apologize for working smart.for your users. I said in another thread I will not ask for any other developer to drop their time and projects to help someone who has just grasped the basics. It's too much to ask of devs already over loaded. I've got too much on my plate right now too, but I've been spending LOTS of spare time at first with attempting to dive into a data fix for current ports that will boot.
Recently I just decided to attempt to port my own based on our firmware. 100% correct this is no walk in the park. You will prob be done light years before me.
If anyone is working on the same basic N920p N7 port and wants a hand I can dedicate some time and limited knowledge to help out. I can throw a telegram group together (here https://telegram.me/n7ton920p ) if anyone in this thread wants is interested in trying to get things working or has news of some something to look into.
Oh, I had an ATT note 4 and it was dead in the water with the boot loader locked. It was such a capable device I'm glad it's getting some good development.

I've been meaning to shoot you a message. I've pretty much read every single post you have made on N4 data fixs. There are a few others but it's 5am.....lol Man don't apologize for working smart.for your users. I said in another thread I will not ask for any other developer to drop their time and projects to help someone who has just grasped the basics. It's too much to ask of devs already over loaded. I've got too much on my plate right now too, but I've been spending LOTS of spare time at first with attempting to dive into a data fix for current ports that will boot.
Recently I just decided to attempt to port my own based on our firmware. 100% correct this is no walk in the park. You will prob be done light years before me.
If anyone is working on the same basic N920p N7 port and wants a hand I can dedicate some time and limited knowledge to help out. I can throw a telegram group together (here https://telegram.me/joinchat/DMHHCgdMGp5ZYxfuzkLezw ) if anyone in this thread wants is interested in trying to get things working or has news of some something to look into.
Oh, I had an ATT note 4 and it was dead in the water with the boot loader locked. It was such a capable device I'm glad it's getting some good development.

That's not going to work on Sprint network though. Even those China cdma N7 ports are setup different than the Sprint variants. And forget about the gsm ports, they're nowhere close to being setup for Sprint cdma. Everything in framework & system that is related to telephony must be setup specifically for Sprint or else you will be fighting it forever and still not get it working right. Sprint has it's own codes/strings in smali throughout the rom. Start with the Sprint N7 & N5 tarballs ans build it with that. I have the latest Sprint N7 tarball I just need to get the latest Sprint N5 tarball and I can put the port rom together. It just takes time to redo the build.prop & updater-script and make the modifications. Then there's the issue of me not having a N5 to test. I'd have to build it from my experience then get somebody to test for me. The fact that the N5 is a 64bit device will help a lot. There won't be any need to port apps like i have to do for the N4. I'll see what I can do.

I've got both tar balls too. I pretty much gave up on those ports after reading what you were saying about the gsm network stuff. I'm learning to port roms with this being my first one. Trail by fire much lol?
If you want to throw it together I'll be happy to test it for you. Anyone who joins the telegram group will be happy to test it as well. Like I said finish your rom for your users first. If you want to and can throw a quick port together all of us n5 guys would be really appreciative. No worries either way.
I installed Lamlazy v7.1 n7 port.
And its working, minor bugs so far.

The official Galaxy Note 5 Nougat firmware has been released on SamMobile. Since Nougat is the most complete Android version in existence while also improving battery life marginally, I think it would be amazing if someone could port the Galaxy Note 5 ROM for the Galaxy Note 4 International Exynos variant (N910C).
Lol
Or the 910V!

To port a certain firmware the device has to be on the same software level or the hardware should be the same eg: The note 7 "Grace UX" came out with marshmallow so devs were able to port it to the note 4. The next scenario is where the hardware is of the same. The note 5 has a 7420 exonys chip set while the note 4 has the 5433 chip set. So this is clearly impossible. Our best bet is the Samsung Tab s2 which has a exonys 5433 chipset and is due to receive nougat somewhere by the end of may

One thing that confuses me, is that devices like the Galaxy S4 and even the Galaxy S4 mini, have completely stable roms running Nougat, even though Samsung stopped updating those after Lollipop. I see AICP, ResurrectionRemix and all these other projects that create this amazingly rock stable rom for the devices, yet for the Exynos variant of the Galaxy Note 4, there doesn't seem to be any movement. :crying:

I used to own a samsung s4 myself before i switched to the note 4 and it was the i9505 (snapdragon variant). Android Open Source (AOSP) roms are possible only for snapdragon devices because the soc's are open source and exonys as we know is manufactured by samsung and samsung does not release the sources thats why AOSP roms are not easy to port to exonys variants. I regret switching phones because the s4 has so many stable aosp roms while the exonys variant's get nothing. Hope i answered your question

Ahh yes, I had a feeling it had something to with the chipsets. It's a shame, I paid full price recently to buy the Exynos variant specifically for modding. I chose Exynos over the Snapdragon variant because the Exynos chip is 64bit compared to the Snapdragon which is 32bit, so it seemed like a better choice given that the Android ecosystem is headed towards 64bit ever since Lollipop and so I would be future-proofing my device. Unfortunately now it seems Exynos is a lot more difficult to make roms for I guess it's almost like comparing the PS3 with the Xbox 360: PS3 has more power than the 360, but the PS3's CBE chip is so much more difficult to make games for. Here's hoping for a long and fruitful development life for the Exynos Galaxy Note 4 :fingers-crossed:

Also samsung doesnt advertise their exonys devices as 64 bit and marshmallow for the device is also a 32 bit os. In short samsung doesnt utilize the full capacity of the note 4's 64 bit chipset. But the advantage is that since the device and the chipset is made by the same company the phone is more fluid and responsive than its snapdragon counterpart. Something similar to googles pixel, software and hardware made by same company

Out of curiosity, which rom have you found to be the best and most stable for the Exynos variant? Or are you using stock?

I regularly switch between stock and custom roms. The best ux based roms are Pirobot v6, Doola v12 and DN7 v0.1
If youre looking for something close to stock erobot v19 would be the best

Yup, v19 seems to be the best. I've found that battery life is abysmal when on UX roms :/ plus, there are far too many bugs from DN7 that I tried. I stuck with erobot 19 and am using Samsung's GoodLock and it works amazingly well. To be honest, I'm not bothered about the GraceUX anymore; Samsung's GoodLock literally does it all while looking sleek. So I've found erobot + GoodLock is the best combo so far! Only downside, fingerprint lock screen doesn't seem to be functional, but other than that, everything else is golden. I was tempted to head back to stock rom but it seems that Samsung cloud doesn't allow the Galaxy Note 4 on stock rom to backup and restore music and other files from Samsung Cloud. The only way I've found Samsung Cloud's backup/restore to fully work is by using erobot and hence why I've stayed away from stock.

There is something which I'd hoped you could help me with, I'm on erobot 19 as you know, for some reason the multiwindow tray keeps popping up randomly. It's the tray that pops up when you hold the back key but it seems to pop up randomly even when I'm not holding down the back key. Do you have any ideas how to stop that from happening without completely disabling multiwindow feature?

I've noticed that whenever I receive notifications on my device and I am using it at the time, I would hear the notification sound (for example, received a new email) and then the multi-window tray opens up. Strange indeed.

Thats strange indeed. Also thats the old multi window isnt it? The new one is accessed through the app switcher

I don't think it is the old one, i mean i can see the split screen option above the app card when in recents but then you also have the option to open the app tray which has a bunch of apps in it that you can open in pop-up view.
I would take a screenshot of it but the side multiwindow tray disappears when i try to.
Good lock is causing the popup. All versions after .10

Oh right, which version of GoodLock would you recommend then?
