Samsung devices have too many bloatware, hope to see an AOSP ROM instead..

I'm willing to bet that it is because there is no developer support for the Exynos

Point taken. I'm only seeing where it is "older" devices so far (unless you have found a way to prove me wrong about that too). My original suspicion was that developers were waiting on the release of the Note7 to get cracking. Instead, they would now be waiting on the Note8.
AOSP on the Note series is no good without a working S Pen (might as well have bought a S6, S7 or soon to be released S8)

S Pen could be the only reason that developers give up pure Android...

Note 4 is a better device but the Samsung knox and other stuff made me more away.
Try EchoePop.

Android 5.1. update is LIVE!! Yay! Build G925FXXU2BOFJ

T-Mobile Galaxy S5 just got the 5.1 update, build G900TUVU1FOF6.
The international set used to receive before US-sets but it seems T-Mobile is bucking the trend. Anyway, hope it is ported soon. Or we have our own official 5.1 firmware soon. :good:
Here's the link http://31.220.4.75/dl/TMB-G900TUVU1FOF6-20150622093044.zip
I wonder if we can run this on 900f with a custom kernel? What's the worst thing that would happen: soft brick? or need to flash ofw in odin?
Edit: Here's a mega mirror.
And here's a system dump with APK's and whatnot .
Can anyone post some screenshot of this release? Thanks in andvance!

Anything from the s6 included? Mostly interested in the new theme engine.

No new theme engine. Typical Samsung-style move - artificially forcing previous models to look and feel old by not updating touchwiz on them.

Remember that Galaxy S2, born with Android 2.3.3, received the "Nature UX" namely TouchWiz 5.0 with same features of Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean on Galaxy S3. Maybe they think that the new Touchwiz is no such new than the "older" one on S5 KitKat nay on S5 Lollipop with white UI.

But that was a whole year after the S3 was released. And even then they disabled little things like waterrings unlock etc ONLY to make a point that the S2 is not the S3.
Hello,
Is there camera RAW/DNG support? (Camera2 API)

Yeah, best case scenario for when we get an official s6 rom is a whole year from now.
If they're gonna copy Apple and the iphone they might as well copy their update style and keep all devices with the same os and ui...
Although the thread has started with the Idea of Port, it has become Firmware Feature discussion. That should be happening in [SM-G900/F/K/L/W8/A/T/M] S5 Firmware Thread
Any firmware should be posted in that thread if its not there already. You can choose to Work with that OP if need be. This one needs to close as its duplication.

Note 5 moaning ehhh! Just port 5 to 4!

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?
i finally had a fast touchwiz woth simplerom thaks for the devs :thumbup:
give it a try if your sick of tw lag

I got Bobcat ROM and I am using 3c toolbox and no lag. Thus fast and worth the time.
such a rom port would probably only be possible for note4s with exynos!
a snapdragon port would be nice, although I highly doubt that that would possible!

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

Knox is a security show stopper for me.

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

great man! Keep up the good work please!
It's sad to see Note 5 ports for the S6 and no ports yet for our beloved Note 4!
I really hope someone ports the Note 5 software to the note 4. I keep checking xda every couple of days in hope of something popping up. To me it made no sense porting the Note 5 software to the S6 when it has no S Pen???

Developing for the note 5

Greeting from Europe where I can't even get in touch with this device. I can't imagine many devs for this device. Why? Exynos and devs in Europe can't do a single thing without the device. Not to mention how lacking the s6 is with development. I would love to atleast give this device a try in terms of developing but I can't get my hands on it. Anyone out there who will actually give it a try?

We're talking of ~1100€, with a more than 1 month of wait.
I'd go with an Edge+, which should be Europes alternative to the Note 5.
P.S. I think i saw you in the a500 development thread

I know the edge+ is supposed to replace it but I personally find the note design and things like the stylus better.
And yes you did see me in the a500 dev thread. I personally like the a series and would support it allot more if I had a A- phone

We're both without an a-phone then.
im really worried about dev support for this device,as this piece is a beast,sadly caged by samsung,with proper dev support this would easily be the best phone around

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.

They are all marshmallow based, the developers mix the codes and port apps, UI and so on.

OK. What about the Note 3 (Snapdragon)? There are n7, n5 and s7e ports. All different HW, chipset and OS version. I just wanna say nothing is imposible mate and the hopre dies last.

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.
