I'm not totally new to compiling CM for devices, as I compiled the sources for the Samsung i9100 and Motorola titan before. However starting development on a new device is a bit more challenging. Are there people who can help with starting this build? I already found this CM wiki page, but it kinda assumes you know what you're looking for when filling in the blanks. (or toe be more precise, know where to look in the locations for the required values)
It would also be nice to work together with someone who developed for a device before.

Since it comes with an Exynos 7 Octa 5433 chip it seems to be impossible at the moment. Samsung didn't release all the documentation of the chip. I hope someone will be able to get something going, even for the exynos 7420 on my Galaxy S6

Hmmm, this one is more difficult then the Exynos 5 in the T800? (cm12.1 is being build for that tablet) There also is an Optimalrom and a custom Kernel for this device... I'd think it should be possible.
I don't know if it is more difficult. The optimalrom is just a debloated and deodexed rom, still close to touchwiz. Cyanogenmod uses a whole other kind of building. Kernels are a bit modifies, but there is no heavy overclocking or undervolting possible yet.
Has anyone consulted the guys that worked on the Tab S version? They might be of some help.

The international Note 4 is the only other device with the Exynos that is in the S2
Look at teameos.org, they have their own builds for the note 4 exynos. Not cm12, but you may be able to find whatever missing pieces you need to work on it

CTXz, Great to see you here! Hopefully you'll have some success rather than the Tab 4?. Can't wait to see what you can truly achieve!

Just picked it up today. I guess that should be possible. They use the same specs right?
This is exciting. I'm available for help. I've got an 8.

As far as I could find the only difference is battery capacity. (sorry for the late reply, I've been busy with a job transition)

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...
As we all know, Android Marshmallow will surely be on our great device, the Note 4. Leaked news say that Note 4 users will start receiving the update in February. Galaxy S6 and its brother Edge will be getting it on January, while the Note 5 and S6 Edge Plus will get it this December. According to these news, the new update will have a new TouchWiz. You can see that it is flat and more Material Design. As we all heard (or some of us), that Google is helping Samsung to create a new TouchWiz that will be so light and so materialistic, which as we can see in the link that it is really more beautiful and looks neater than the older versions. Now, will this new TouchWiz be on our Note 4? I believe it will. I know that the TouchWiz on the Note 5 isn't there for Note 4, but I believe Samsung did that to boost the sales of their Note 5 as it got a lot of bad reviews. Now that a lot of people have bought the Note 5, I think we will get this new TouchWiz along the update Android Marshmallow, or Samsung might even decide to keep their boost for the Note 5 and S7, and release the new TouchWiz for the Note 4 in Android 6.1 (maybe?).
What do you think?

I dont think so we will get the new theme engine.
we could get an improved touchwhiz.
but in 2016 i'll get a note 6.
used all notes from 2 to 4
but due to lack of expandable storage. I'll be skipping note 5. But thanks to rumours. I'm quite positive that it will make a comeback (fingers crossed)
The results are given here. There's nothing more to talk about. Look at how they ditched that poor note 3. I guess android 6.0 will be the last update for our note 4.

This isn't the last list, it will keep updating. Samsung is really good in making phones but they really suck at software... I am close to ditching it, but I got my Note 4 in September which is most likely for me switch to Nexus phones (or even iOS) in the next few years. Though, hopefully Samsung will enhance due to the next few years...

Hmmm your right, but what I ment to say was looking at note 3's disapproval for android 6.0, note 4 too may not get android 7.0 when it will be released in the future 1 or 2 years from now.

Hehe... yea bro! hopefully they would. But sammy has already heading towards 64 bit OS. The exynos note 4 supports 64 bit libs but our snapdragon phone doesn't.
64bit would help our device alot but it won't happen.. 6.1 should probably be our final build but im on cm so ima stay with the note 4

Hmmm... choice also matters bro. Those who love pure android experience and want latest android versions prefer CM. But as for me, having the latest android version doesn't matter much for me as I love the stock firmware coz there are so many extra options & features that I may not find it on CM. (Not to forget the s-pen features too). Also rooting & installing touchwiz based kernels & roms is like extra icing on the cake! ^_^
Is any news about marshmallow update? Are those release dates official?
hmmm i don't think that the note 4 will have the new touchwiz in near update but i think that it can be ported to our device buy our extremely talented devs.

Of course it won't, it's going to be the story of S3 and we'll also get it badly optimized, but things will be fixed and ported by someone here, as always.
Now we are with Android 5.1.1 BUT still with the old TouchWize UI except some few visual changes here or their !!!
Samsung policy is always like this .... the older generation get nothing new until the Note 4 is dead officially & removed from Samsung lists.
I sold my Note 4 few months back & I got iPhone 6s (such a cool smartphone), then I decide to buy another Note 4 because of the Stylus I really like to play with it, so I'm keeping mt Note 4 as second phone for my other sim.
accept it like it is, update stuff is not for Samsung or Note 4 enjoy like this way.
if you need fast updates get iPhone (I really recommend it) or Nexus phone, also HTC & LG providing faster updates.

Yes man, iPhone providing smooth & easy way for dealing with stuff, & old iPhones get the new OS even before releasing the new iPhone.
Apps quality are also better in iOS.
in short ...in spite of my short experience with Apple & iOS but believe me iPhone does provide user experience that I can't live without it.
and if Apple will one day provide iPhone with stylus, a Samsung Note like, so many people will leave Samsung for Apple.

Of topic?
This threat is for note 4 marshmallow update.
From wat i saw in both s5 and note 4 neither s5 nor note 4 will have the new touchwiz , u already mentioned the reason cuz both note 4 and note5 are too close in terms of hardware so as usual Samsung decided to go against it's habit and decided not to port the new touchwiZ to note 4 Just to make sure that note5 sales are doing well , and about 6.1 update for note 4 I doubt it will have it I think android 6.0 is going to the last update for note 4 same as note3 that didn't get android 5.1.1 and left with buggy android 5.0 unfortionatly This is Samsung THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT MONEY and ptl dont say That every manfacturer does because they don't do it in Samsung way, anyway I am waiting for the update and if leaks were true that it won't have The latest touchwiz as Samsung used to do with previous notes I will move to another brand mostly the next nexus.
Developers built a Cyanogenmod 13 rom for galaxy s6 that uses the same exynos 7420 processor of our note 5.
Any developer is able to build cyanogenmod 13 for Note 5 using Galaxy s6 sources ?

As you've read on s6 thread, CyanogenMOD rom is now full of bugs with our Exynos SoC and the bugs never can be fixed. So I dont think someone should spend his/her time to build a CyanogenMOD for our beloved Note5, just a watse of time
Cyanogen Mod no support exynos,never can fix all bugs,n5 maybe use kernel cm s6 but need new device tree

CM13 for Note 4 (Exynos) is almost bug-free. The only remaining bugs are there because there's no Marshmallow source yet for that device (mostly camera blobs and bluetooth calls). Even fingerprint reader works. I don't know if it's too hard to start working with Exynos 7000 series, mostly because of the 64x architecture. But as far as I know CyanogenMod supports Exynos SoC in both official and unofficial ways. It's just matter of time. Wait until Samsung stops supporting the Note 5 and AOSP roms will fall from the sky. Cheers.
That's why I don't use a note anymore because to hard finding a good rom

It is what it is. It comes with an stock rom and it's not intended by Samsung to use an AOSP one. I don't know why people wants to lose all S-Pen, Multiwindow and Camera goodies just for the sake of having "pure android". Use custom TW based roms or get a Nexus 6P. After all, it's pretty much a Note 5 (even shares the same screen) without Touchwiz and a S-Pen.

I thing note 5 no need rom cm13,.. because rom stock-touchwiz base android 6.0 very fast,smooth and stable,no reload app
I only buy a phone if there is a stable CM13 rom for it, because i love rom. I use expanded desktop allways
I was considering to sell my Note 5 because i had very poor experience with the Android LP but with the MM update things changed like night and day for me. It would be nice to see a working CM on this phone but i'm good without it for now.
Just chill out cm will come to n5 like it came to s6 just is not ready and for ppl who say why we want cm is because its called more development and more learning for the devs on exynos chips

Samsung devices development was dead if i remember correctly from S4 days
i had used S1,S2,S3 then when i bought S4 saw no development no custom rom 1 week old device i change to NEXUS
Well, don't tell me, there are already a lot of custom firmwares from the model s7 edge and above
