Can AOSP come very soon now? - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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...

Build Cyanogenmod 13 for Note 5?

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

Galaxy Note 5 OFFICIAL Nougat RELEASED, possible port for Galaxy Note 4 (N910C)?

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b3IbkOrkYtE
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).:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

?? I'm just expressing my thoughts, I reckon it'd be a good idea. Why would you not want Nougat on your device? We finally have an official Nougat rom from Samsung for the Galaxy Note series, so now it would be possible to port it, right?
No, it's not possible. The Note 5 has completely different hardware.

I don't have a Note 3. I suppose some device with similar hardware received marshmallow, so there was a base to port other firmwares.
We should wait for Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 because it has the same hardware of our Note 4 (Exynos) and it will have Nougat update.

difference in bootloaders, android 6.0 and android 7.0 have different bootloaders so it impossible to port. Devs will try to port Tab s2 firmware after android nougat release for it. coz N4 and Tab s2 have identical hardware.
Well i think thats not going to happen until note 4 will get an official nougat update because as far i know to run any nougat ported touchwiz roms on any variant of note 4 require a touchwiz nougat kernel and sadly none of the note 4 model will get nougat update.

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 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.

There's a AOSP Oreo roms for Note 5, like Lineage OS, Resurrection Remix and AOSP Extended, bit if u talking about Samsung Experience, wait for A8 2016 get Oreo, port for N5, S6E+, S6E and S6 maybe in 2 weeks after A8 2016 get Oreo official.
Nobody develop Note FE/S7 Edge OREO port for Note 5..............
to start working on Oreo port we need SM-A810 Oreo firmware first - that A8 2016 has same cpu and gpu and a lot more in common with N5

I agree with that thanks to developers for make that posible.
So the A8 oreo is out since 24th July. Is there any hope for oreo port to note 5 and s6 edge+? If yes, how long will it take for developers to port it.
And also considering same chipset, will we receive officail oreo?
Please reply.

Samsung has released the Oreo source code of A810S. So will it be possible to compile it for S6 edge+ and note 5? I'm very much into oreo?
desperately waiting for oreo
im using nexus 6 running 8.1 tho my friends and brother have note 5 and they r also waiting for Oreo. i regularly check here to let them know.

If Note 5 gets it then I think s6 edge+ should get it too. Because pretty much everything is same. And also most of the roms for note 5 works perfectly fine on S6 edge+, but the thing is it requires kernel. If you could please port it to S6 Edge +, it would be a great favour.
FYI Oreo is running smoothly but still bugs to fix and spen features to add, from FE or N8, probably N9

Fully featured Samsung ROM for A6

Do I have your attention now?
Good.
Hi guys. We were discussing on our A6 group that the regular 7870 A6 gets very little love.
Mainly because it's not a very good phone. But that's why it needs more love than its getting, so that the experience of owning it doesn't suck as much xD
Well, I happened to mention that I love my S8 ROM for the J6 because it is fully featured. Even with Pie released and even with 64bit vendor, I always return to my S8+ ROM. I just love it so much.
So, I offered the opportunity to port it to the A6.
Now, there are a couple of things I need to make clear before actually doing this.
As of now, porting ROMs in Pie is a bit difficult because you can't deodex the whole firmware properly, that is why I have not really done any Pie porting.
This port would be Oreo!
Deodexing Oreo has 0 problems and I can easily try to fix problems that happen due to pop up.
So, what would be the benefits?
Imagine being able to use edge screen! Infinity wallpapers! Smart select, bixby vision, scroll capture!
Sure, you don't have the latest OS, but I think having Oreo is good enough
That being said, I do need some active testers. I don't own an A6 so porting will require somebody with the device to test.
If you are interested, leave your comment here and I will contact you when possible to try to make this a reality.
I'll leave you guys with some captures to see if it motivates you a little

A6 a little bit better because exynos base, but the siblings (A6+) far more worse because snapdragon base :silly: .
my target port very limited..only A8star, A9 2018. i have some thought also to port from s8/s9/note8/note9, but all those series must be come from china open/hongkong region (snapdragon) which could lead me to getting more problems.
after seeing that you successful porting from S8 oreo maybe i also will try from s8 hongkong region
currently i also running A9 2018 port and all bugs has been solved (from released version in here).
the feature almost same from your port but i don't have edge lighting

With a full deodex, you can port no matter the SoC. I've ported both SD and Exynos to Mediatek Sammy phone. I think in general, Samsung likes to use very general lib stuff

i don't think so...even in kernel, how it load stuffs, fstab, etc,, SD and exynos is different. maybe if to mediatek it will work as you said, but if from exy to SD or vice versa it will not work.
regarding lib probably until oreo, starting on pie seems so many changes
Will AOD work? If so I would glad to return to Oreo

Hello guys,I would like to know if the Rom is suitable for the Samsung Sm-A600FN
Complete noob
Could I flash it like stock firmware? And could I obtain camera 2 api? I have A6+ sm-a605fn, it's worth nothing to me if I can't get camera 2 api, so I am more than willing to try, except that I"m a noob and have no clue what deodex is.
Happy to help
Would it be suitable for the SM-A600T1? If so I would be more than willing to aid you in your development and test it for you.
