I respectfully ask this question and have no intention to
offend any devs. I am currently planning to buy this phone and when
I looked at here to check on roms that I could use on my phone, I got a little overwhelmed by the lack of Nougat roms.
It is already almost 2017 and the roms are usualy lollipop or marshmallow. I expected at least to see Nougat roms.
Did the devs stopped supporting this device or about to?

yeah I am aware of the unofficial cm 14 rom but still, only one nougat rom.
I still expect more nougat rom since this is a popular phone
I read somewhere that this cm 14 rom has a lot of problems like not being able to receive and make calls. Heaven forbid if LTE with Tmobile sim even work on this rom. But correct me if i'm wrong.
I have been able to make calls with the latest build of the VZ rom. However this ROM is no longer under development since Cyanogenmod is dead. All the developers using cyanogenmod as their base are going to have to shift to something else or else they will be working with a stagnating code base. I'd expect a small period of little development for many ROMs while this shift takes place to directly using AOSP as their base or the spinoff of CM LineageOS to get up and running. As for the lack of Nougat ROMs at all. N has only been out since around Aug, and the note 4 isn't exactly a recent phone any longer. So you've got a dwindling user base with an even smaller base of developers that have the knowledge to build the ROMs still using the phone. In the end I wish the dev of that VZ Nougat ROM kept working on it. Likely all of the code fixes could be merged into LineageOS since it is the CyanogenMod code base

I use the 12/25 build as a daily driver. The only issues that affect me is: Camera(fixed with another app), Gallery(fixed with another app), sometimes screen wont wake up easy If you are on a long call.(this is rare for me). No VOLTE. Other than those things its a great rom.

I've tried installing the [ROM] [7.1.1] [UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 14.1 ROM(Verizon) on my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 but am having issues with it once it reboots. The root seems to be lost and once I use SuperSU to install Root and the phone just boots in a loop. I'm guessing this has to do with the bootloader(Note4) vs Verizon. I'm not sure but could be wrong. Could someone please suggest a way to get my root on this Verizon Nougat ROM.

Don't use supersu with this rom. I learned that it's more of a headache than not. Enable developer options. CM's Root access is in there. I'm on EPJ2 baseband. Also make sure you download the extra file in the OP (Something telephony, i can't remember). You need that If you ever restore a backup or you won't have data. This rom seems to be the most battery-friendly rom I've installed for this phone. Even tho I do miss Fast Charge...

this is the ORIGINAL development thread for that rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/development/emotionos-t3528639
its Emotion OS which is based on LineageOS (formerly Cyanogen Mod 14 aka CM 14 ). Its Nougat rom AOSP pretty much, it works fine on the N910T, ive tested and you can verify it works from the posts in that thread. You must be on a 910T Marshmallow based bootloader or the rom may not work correctly. verified working fine on EPJ2 bootloader.
So pretty much if you want it to work:
ODIN official N910TUVU2EPJ2 Samsung firmware
install recovery
flash EmotionOS from recovery

We don't need official Nougat for Note 4 for that. Just wait until Nougat is completely released for S7/Edge, and there will probably be a S7 Nougat port to the N910F/FD/T/W8/V/P/G. Plus, we'll also have an S8/Edge port (I'm sure) and that will probably be Nougat, so don't get your hopes down.
I have Nougat on my Google Pixel XL.
It works great and custom AOSP/LineageOS ROM's are all rock solid/stable.
But with no sign of Xposed being available for Nougat anytime soon, I would not be in a rush to move to Nougat if I were ya'll.
As of today, it does not look good for Xposed to ever be fully released for Nougat.
And even if it were, you'd be looking at more time before all the GOOD xposed modules are updated to work with Nougat.

Friends,
The work on Cyanogen OS/MOD 12.1 seems to be stopped.
Developers are working hard on Cyanogen OS/MOD 13.
So lets discuss about Cyanogen OS/MOD 13.
Add your suggestions, which we want in Cyanogen OS/MOD 13.
www .cmxlog. com/12.1/ham
www .cmxlog. com/13/ham
Why there are no changelogs ? last 2 Nigthlys came without any information.
Because developers are moved towards canogenmod 13
Hope next week we get CM13 Nightly`s on our devices
I think I will never buy again a Cyanogen OS phone. Cyanogen OS with MS crap and lame updates. Old S3 get CM13, ZUK Z1 still not get CyanogenMod 13 :/
Note 5 get Android 6, S6 get it and even Huawei roll Android 6 out... Huawei xD

Don't worry. As long as I and JoaoPaulo are around you guys will have the latest Android versions.
Just get our unofficial CM13 build.
It has everything but the fingerprint reader working and even that one is only a matter of time until we get it working.

LOL! Typical for people like you. Go ahead, don't buy. Would you rather like to get constant updates with tons of bugs, or just stable and working OS.
And watch your language here.
Also Huawei is one of the greatest players on the market... You obiviously do not know a thing and all you do is rage on xda.
(Huawei made some ofNEXUS devices also. Would Google let Nexus line to someone stupid?)
Maybe it's your first Cyanogen OS phone but I use CM already for 5 years (CyanogenMod). Huawei got 200 devices, Cyanogen 4-5 and no-cyanogen-phones get CM13 Cyanogen is just clean Android, nothing special like MIUI with ton of tools.
If you can't wait for updates just start building for yourself? So do I. That's one of the opportunities you have with our Zuk Z1. At least everything is working as it should with Cyanogen Mod on it. I had a lot of phones in the past which had Cyanogen Mod but a lot of features wasn't working anymore.

CyanogenMod and CyanogenOS aren't same.
Also, they have scheduled it way before. There was already information when Cyanogen OS 13.1 is coming to this phone before you could buy it. So please just be careful and don't whine about update. Everyone would rather like good and stable update over some quick and buggy update. And only most of premium devices are getting update now , not this price range.

100% True.
To that guy that was talking without knowing anything:
CM13 was scheduled for ZUK Z1 way before i get it, and i get this device like one month ago, but they are working on it offline for sure. They prefer to get a fully working ROM to a device than give it a full buggy one. Me and @MrColdbird just could not wait more until they release their source, and i came from a nexus device (pretty sure you know that i downgraded from android 6.0 to 5.1.1 when swap devices), and we decided to work on 6.0 to give users an early experience of CM13, because we can't handle 5.1.1 anymore.
We made a almost full bringup of 6.0 devtree and kernel, and we made a port from a completely different CAF branch, in about 15 days, imagine in what time can CM do it, as they are maintaining this device. Even CM for Nexus Line and OPO (their big son), have bugs on SystemUI and other things, do you think they will even consider about making builds to another phones?
I think almost android users prefer a 100% working device with less features, than a device with newest Software and filled you bugs.
So are u still arguing?
If you don't like CM devices, just don't SPAM our threads like you have reasons to do so.
Go SPAM your device thread, and leave us alone.

I'm new to this Cyanogen/CM and don't know how Cyanogen updates their phones, but from their page at /support it doesn't look like any of their phones got version marshmallow. Are they reliable with updates? I'm wondering how long will Z1 be supported.
we will wait
i see right now all waiting 6.0 and cm 13
me too and im one from those dont know any thing about flashing but i thank u guys for ur work
and i wait the 6.0 for my zuk
and i want to be helpful
if u want any thing to do with my phone to test or somthing i will do
iam Arabian user for the cm 12.1 now
its very good
waiting ur updates soon as possible
If you are fine without a fingerprint reader for now then you can just run the unofficial CM13. JoaoPaulo will implement the fingerprint reader later in January.
Hey, I really would like to test your CM13 build. You wrote, that it is important to backup the persist-partition, if we want to change back to CM12.1. Can I do this with the 'partition backup & restore' app? And just restore the perisist partition after reflashing CM12.1? Or is it included, when I make nandroid-backup via TWRP? Thank you very much!

You can back it up in a root terminal via the following command.
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist of=/sdcard/persist.img
And no, it's not part of a nandroid backup. But yes, any mean of backing up and restoring partitions should (theoretically) work.
Although I'm not entirely sure that restoring the partition in a running Android OS is possible as the partition might be mounted at the time. Restoring it via fastboot or TWRP will work though.
I've tried several ROMs recently - eg. CM13-stabe, AICP, Paranoid Android - but they all have the same problem: no Bluetooth audio. Sure, I can pair a device, but when I send audio to it nothing happens.
There's a specific "fix" being touted on Needrom - a flashable zip - but I tried it and it didn't work. Others have reported the same.
So what are the options for a MM 6.0.1 or similar ROM, with a raesonably recent security patch date (Sept/Oct) and working Bluetooth audio?
Thanks folks...
try a rom based on oct-5 security patch(r72) it is expected to work.
PS:am an a7000 user.i suggested it since it works on my device however am not sure about it.

My device is a K50-t5 but currently reports as an A7000, due I think to its ROM - I still don't understand what the difference is between these two model numbers!

So this is the last CM13 for K3 note?? There's no other cm after 20161220 right?
Well, Cyanogen Inc is closing down, but people will continue doing development on the open-source code-base I'm sure. There's already a new fork called LineageOS, for example. Nothing there yet for the K3 Note, but you never know...
Im tired of seeing these Note 7 roms and I want to relive these Cyanogenmod days but Cyanogenmod is dead. Is there a possibility that there is a way we can get developers to build a rom for the superiour Note 4? I like Lineage OS because of its OTA function that releases bug fixes and updates. Im not offending anyone or anything... Its just not my taste. Thanks

It seems too buggy but if we are begging around XDA probably a team will join and build it. Soooo lets do that.
It's this unofficial build, which it's currently on my note 4.

As many of you heard, android 8 has now been officially released. I will be working to get an AOSP version working on the 7" LTE tablet, I have heard that there may be significant HAL changes so it may take some time. I have just released the august update for the SM-T285, I've been also working to get a stable repo out for this device in the last couple of weeks. Anyway wish me luck.
Update 08/24/2017 - I was able to download the 8.0.0_r4 aosp sources and got it to compile the modified device tree. There seems to be significant changes with some HAL libraries, vendor specific libs are now moved to its own place in the system image. Will now proceed to actual testing and porting.

I won't be directly developing for the T280 sadly. There may be subtle differences at the kernel level and some components (e.g. GPS, touchscreen) which prevents ROMs for the T285 from working with the T280. However my work with the T285 should greatly speedup development for the T280 once the first custom ROMs arrive.

I remember some people tried on my CM/Lineage/Omni based roms on their T280 and it failed to boot, though I can't tell the method they used to flash those ROMs so it is possible that their methods are incorrect. As for stock ROMs this is new information for me if that is the case. I am unable to verify these as I don't have a T280, though if there is a dev who would like to try if would be nice.

my oreo build isn't usable at the moment, wifi doesn't work and you can't turn the screen back on after turning it off. Trying to figure out if this is a LineageOS issue or a hardware issue takes too much time, I'm waiting for the first official builds of Lineage OS to start rolling out before I spend more time on this.
Bacoor,
I've just bought a Galaxy Tab A6 LTE (SM-T285) and haven't rooted or done anything to an android phone in over 5 years. Feeling Green as hell! I'm back to being a newbie. Any suggestions you can offer to me on a guide and which TWRP and Android I should install on my phone. I'll need some tutorial help as I feel uneasy. Last Time I did rooting and custom roms was way back on the HTC Hero and then the HP Touchpad to Cyanogenmod.
Well with Oreo comes project treble which does in fact mess with the HAL libraries a lot. Maybe that means there is hope the Galaxy Tab A Line will get "Treble-ized".
Good news if we are.

I am still on Android 5.1.x rooted, and probably only version for T285 which every feature is tested working.
Intended to upgrade to Android 6 or 7, but there isn't any stable firmware which is bug-free (ie. GPS and video recording).
Not optimistic on 8.0 being bug-free when the 6 and 7 not fixed after such a long wait (months).

I'd update to android 7. Its a great update for my Tab A. Samsung removed a lot of bloat in this update and it runs great.

Where did you get a Samsung 7.0 ROM?
I have only seen 5.1.1 posted, other than LineageOS 14.1 (7.1)
Can u upload the build
I have been waiting for the build.So jedld , Can u upload the oreo build
jedld said:
my oreo build isn't usable at the moment, wifi doesn't work and you can't turn the screen back on after turning it off. Trying to figure out if this is a LineageOS issue or a hardware issue takes too much time, I'm waiting for the first official builds of Lineage OS to start rolling out before I spend more time on this.

How Do I Test this ROM
I have a T285 and I want to test this rom where do I download it?
Hi folks! If you're on T-Mobile and run Nougat 7.0, can you tell me how your device perform? It seems that 7.0 wasn't tested by T-Mobile so I'm bit concerned about issues once I make the jump. Please let me know. Thank you

I'm on t-mobile and have used all the lastest img from google web site without an issue.
Currently I'm on Dark rom 8/27 build with the latest radio 05.45R and still havent had an issue. you should be good to go if you update with factory img.

Did you get the OTA update or did you flash it? Also, how's your connectivity? I had bad experience in the past after updating. Thanks!
I'm on 7.1.2 Pure Nexus (N6) and just made the jump from Sprint today. My number was ported by T-Mobile within 2 hours and the service is MUCH better. As a bonus, I can now call and use data simultaneously. Not possible on Sprint.
I've been a sprint customer since the early 1990s. That just goes to show how stupid I am ?
7.0 (Build NBD92G) is the current T-mobile supported build (but they sure don't say that anywhere on their website). T-mobile pushed that build several months ago to users on stock devices. I figure T-mobile has EOLed the Nexus 6 6 months before Google did, so plan to side-load the final 7.1 build when it drops next month.

I just bought a new unlocked Nexus 6 from Amazon. I would not have intentionally updated past the OS officially supported by T-Mobile, but during the setup, I accidentally upgraded it to Nougat 7.1.1. So far it is working great. This is the first Google phone I have ever used, and I like not having all the Samsung apps that I never use. It may be my imagination, but it seems to be running better than the Note 4 I was using.

This could be because Samsung has their own custom ui overlay "touchwiz" its been known to cause lag especially when the device is older and the software is back ported.
T-mo users, have you tried the latest 7.1.1? Since we just got the last update, I'm about to side-load. Any known issues on T-mo? I assume N6F27M is the one to go with?
