ROM suggestion W/Full Pixel Features - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I'm looking for a ROM that is frequently updated or still taken care of and is a port of pixel with some extra features or improvements. Thanks!

here for your question..

Just to point out the obvious here, but porting the Pixel settings and camera apps is simply not possible for our device. If that is what the OP is expecting, prepare to be disappointed.

Want a rom that is kept updated then make it yourself. Want Pixel features, then get a pixel.

Pure Nexus Rom and a few others offer those features

[Q]-anyone is going to port the MiUi rom since the new MM branch is released?

Hi Developers,
First of all, thanks for all your hard working to provide so many high valuable Roms to Nexus 6.
Now that Miui has released the new MM branch for patchrom project, I'm wondering if anyone is going to port this to Nexus 6 so that we can have more choices to make our life colorful?
Thanks in advance!
I am in
I hope not. Nougat is on the horizon so why work on porting Marshmallow ROMs over when we already have plenty of stable choices available? Also this is just an opinion, but I think the majority of Nexus users specifically will agree with me: AOSP/CM based ROMs are superior to MIUI.
Its in the works. We have a couple threads about this already and even a half ported miui 7 build that flashes but doesn't boot.

There maybe someone that does it but like with most nexus devices don't expect much. Miui is openly hated by the nexus developers.
Your best bet is if you want it then follow the guide and try to make it happen. I'll wish you luck as you will need it.

Porting roms.

I wanted to learn how to port roms. I was looking around and one website mentioned that both phones should be of similar specs. Did that mean that every spec should be same (like RAM, processor, etc) ? Can I port a OnePlus 3 ROM into my OnePlus 3t? Can I port a Pixel XL ROM to the 3t?
It's possible to make a OnePlus 3 ROM work on a OnePlus 3T with a little bit of effort. This is known as a unified ROM and is what Sultanxda did to his CM13 ROM. The Pixel XL is a totally different device, though. There's no way you're going to make a ROM work on both of those devices.

Thanks for replying. But I'm not talking about making a ROM work for both Pixel and 3T. I maybe misunderstood what porting means. I want to take a Pixel XL ROM and make it work in my 3T with a little editing of the ROM
What is the point? We have a growing number of fully official and hybrid ROMs on here and will just end up having more as time passes. Why not learn on building fresh?

rom pixel or android AOSP ??

Hi community, are there any rom with android pure or stock experience as AOSP, Pixel experience, etc for the note8.? I could support, thanks
As far as I have seen, no, there are no aosp roms for note 8, I think it is really pointless to convert a note series device into a simpler samsung featuresless device, to that intent, you could have gotten a much cheaper device, or pixel to that effect

Stock android

Hello
I have been looking for a stock rom for the note 8 and i haven't found any, i thought i would find a lineage os rom but there was nothing..
Is there a stock android rom for the note 8?!
Useless on a Note !

By "stock rom" do you mean vanilla ? , then why did you get a samsung galaxy device? Specially a note series one? Better get a pixel or something like it, why getting a samsung galaxy note device, to later downgrade it?

I have never understood why people do this.
They want some high end phone first. Then suddenly learn about custom roms and are like i want to flash this now.
Better donate the extra money to devs here instead of spending stupidly.
I'm just adding my sentiment. If you want stock Android, get a Pixel device or Motorola or Nokia or almost anything else. You buy a Samsung device for the features they add. If you don't like or use those features, then don't buy something for $1,000 just to essentially cripple it afterwards.

Lineage 15.1 was released yesterday for the note 8, it is in alpha stage though.
Clean Android not only reduces these devices in terms of function (S Pen, Iris, gestures, etc), but also removes the appeal of Sammy phones. I'm using Pie on my z2 Force, as well as my Pro 3. Whilst both have active development, my N8 is the new king on the hill.
Anyway, it's best to buy another phone like the Moto Z4, Poco F1, Pixel, or Essential for plain Android.

I think that some people are just plain stupid. They don't relise that most of the features of Stock Android come from other android OEM skins. Just because Stock Android is simple doesn't make it better. Even 3rd party Custom OSes don't support the same features on a Note device.

Couldn't agree more on this. I bought my note 8 after i have used a note 8 port rom on my j7 2016.
And honestly i will prefer the note this way and i haven't even rooted yet. I miss viper4android so much but atleast we have Dolby atmos in N8.

Exactly, you buy a note device for what i gives not what you can mod it into using a custom rom. Root and xposed is an other thing, but custom rom, that too an AOSP ? Completely dumb people out there.
I think it is about choice, not stupidity, like it's said a couple of times here.
Let people do what they want with their phone, like you do.
The thing is i am a university student and thought that i would use the pen.. turned out i didn't use it nor did i use any of the other features..
Second i am not from the US so pixel is not an option unless i would pay around 100 to 200 extra dollar to get it without a warranty.. this goes to the oneplus..
Other thing is the samsung devices are premium with good camera and great displays which is important for me..

You do know that once you install a custom OS on the Note. The camera quality goes down. As custom OSes do not have the same camera optimisation software as the Samsung Stock OS.
I was planning to use the pixel camera app

Of course yo would, that is the point, once you install a stock android,, the camera will no longer be driven by the samsung software, exactly what iceepyon told you, the samsung hardware is specifically constructed to work efficiently with samsung firmwares
Wow
A person asks about a custom vanilla rom, and look at some of the answers. So glad to live in 2019 when XDA posts are turned into youtube comments on taylor swift videos.
People are not "dumb or stupid" if they're looking for customization options on XDA. They're maybe "wrong" in some cases. Just tell them why.
To answer your question:
These days there are too many flagships and midrange phones out there. Also The oems use different hardwares and barely release their source codes and drivers. Plus, stock roms are way more feature rich and fluid than before. For all these reasons the development of vanilla based roms is limited and less reasonable for most phones. Except pixel phones and Android one phones. Even there, all different roms are lineage-based and basically the same, with same features and same bugs! But different visuall traits!
There is a Lineage os for note 8.0 but in very early stages. About other custom roms (stock based), they do a great job in terms of features and removing so called bloatwares, but personally I recommend you staying on stock because unlike few years ago, stock roms get you better performance, features, battery life, etc. I'm currently using pixel 2 and note 8 and trust me, you get bored by plain android!

Now I'm going to watch Taylor Swift music videos and read the comments, when I get home.

What's the most stable and less buggy ROM for Android 9/10?

My relatives who live far away have one note 4 and I would like to choose a stable ROM so that I won't have to walk them through procedure of installing the ROM again.
I've already have them LineageOS 17.1 installed with Android 10, It certainly improved battery life and breathed a new life into the phone but it's a little buggy. Sometimes you have to try many times even with correct passcode. More importantly wired headphones don't work at all.
So I would like to choose something more stable and better. What would you guys recommend? The device they have is sm-N910F. Thanks.
I'm in the same situation and have been searching the internet for the answer.
So far, my preliminary search has found a couple that might be the least buggy, but reports are mixed based on what version of the Note4 the ROM is installed on.
The one I'm considering trying out (unless somebody mentions a less buggy ROM) is Pixel Experience at
[ROM][9.0][UNOFFICIAL] Pixel Experience Pie [trlte][tblte][trlteduos]
