I've searched the various threads and can't seem to find this specific question. Does anyone know if the Samsung Flip Cover works properly with rooted note 4? I've seen a lot with the note 3 and the need for xposed framework modules but don't find anything for note 4. Thanks
I was using the hyperdrive ROM and the infamous ROM.they both Work real well.just not on the lollipop aosp Roms.
Thanks. I went in to best buy and tried it out. Worked well with stock root.
So I was looking at PhoneArena, and apparently, we're getting Marshmallow in February 2016. Link: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Road...evices-will-be-updated-to-Marshmallow_id75779
What do you think about this?
No Exynos (C/H/U) love?
Add exynos model U to the list. I still don't have Android 5.1.1 on my n910u note 4. Looks like marshmellow will be a long wait.

I dont believe in this as in most of the cases samsung get behind the schedule...
But in some rare cases they actually get far ahead of the competition.
Example note 3(exynos)
It received lollipop before note 4.
So i think we(n910g) might get marshmallow in late december or early jan...
Or atleast get few leaked firmware.
Note 5 is getting the update as we speak, a user posted it in their section

Someone getting a test version by accident isn't the same as an official update. February is pretty far away, but I'll probably get the S7 if it comes with a 4K screen anyway so it doesn't really matter.
My god, a three month wait is an eternity for products with such a short life-cycle.

LOL! But yeah, Samsung update situation is pretty bad, esp with Note 4.
Just chill. I've been observing this pattern since 3 years. Whenever google releases an android update in october, it takes atleast 3 to 4 months for samsung to get it on their high-end phones. So expect marshmallow somewhere in late december or january.

been out since nov 1st. battery is great on 5.1.1
And by the time the Note 4 does get 6.0 Google will have out either 6.0.2 or be ready for 6.1, also not all regions will see it in Feb next year if that roadmap is legit.
The Simfree Note 4 in the UK for example will be lucky if they see it before the Summer next year.
I love Samsung phones but their update policy is dire, my spare simfree Galaxy Alpha only recently got 5.0.2.
I've now switched to the Nexus 6 as my main phone, & sold the Note 4 months ago because of the lack of updates.

Wrong. It doesn't means that you'll get 6.0 by february. If another update (6.0.1, 6.1.1, etc) arrives while the Touchwized 6.0 version is in development, it will be adapted to the lastest version. I.e we never had 5.0, instead we had got 5.0.1 and then 5.1.1 excluding 5.0.2. This means that if any other update comes out, 6.0 will probably be excluded.
Samsung is doomed to lose a lot of Sam customers with this.
1 They've decided to release phone with No SD Slots, No removable batteries and count all the N4 hate list!!!
This looks like my last Sam Phone
Man, I would lose my temper if the Marshmallow on the Note 4 is worse than the Marshmallow on the A-E series. I mean, seriously, A-E series gets themeable Lollipop while we're stuck in old TouchWiz? Freaking blasphemy!
It's the latest.

I'm in the market for a tablet and the S2 looks great (and even better with some discounting on the release of the S3). However, I don't want to buy an S2 if I'm not going to get a stable Android 7 Nougat. Normally I would try ROMS out for myself, but since I don't have the product... I cannot. I've also recently just lost a couple of hundred dollars on a an older tablet that I could never find a stable ROM for.
Can someone that has either an 8" or 9.7" S2 give me feedback on ROM stability (and whether it is fully functioning) in Nougat (I'm not wanting LTE support)? Are there solid / reliable ROMs that would give me a good user experience?
AT&T hasn't realesed it for mine yet but it seems very stable on the S7 Edge (so far)

I'm talking about the Galaxy Tab S2 on Nougat. I've being really enjoying Nougat on my S7!
I'm gathering since there is not much response in this forum that I'm probably better to wait for the tab S3.
Also, from what I can find in the forums it seems there are a few features that aren't working on most Nougat ROMs for the S2.
I understood your question. AT&T hasn't released nougat for the S2 yet. The last tentative release time I heard was this May.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the heads up. I didn't realise there was a plan for an official release of Nougat on the Galaxy Tab S2 LTE version. I still may be tempted by the S3 at the right price because of the quick charge battery and s-pen. I've no need for LTE

Nougat will be released for the Tab S2 but its a case of how long we will have to wait. Samsung aren't going to release Nougat for the S2 when they want people to buy the S3. Its therefore likely Nougat will come later. :crying:
If you have an LTE version of the S2, the wait will be even longer as carriers like AT&T (US,) and EE, (UK,) take forever. :crying::crying::crying:
Not clear if it is the case but if you are asking about whether there are any custom Nougat ROMs available for the S2 that are stable, depending on which model of S2 you would purchase, there are a couple of ROMs currently out there. I have an 813 model and have used both the lineage and resurrection ROMs available in the S2 Development thread. Any issue I have experienced with either ROM has been really minor and both ROMs meet my requirement for a daily driver.
Of course this assumes you are willing to root and install a custom recovery.
Anyone working on this for the Note 9 yet?
If we look at past experiences with Samsung, Given that last year's Android Pie has not officially made it to the Note 8 yet (more than 7 months after official release) and given that Q is not even out yet, you can expect release about 7 or 8 months after the official release. If we go by the patterns of just about every previous Samsung device before, it will be available by February or March of next year.

We just received official Pie... Q will be a long time.

It wont receive android 10 or ui 2.0. Dunno about any ports for it from other devices
So I'm stuck with what's on here now. I just cant see spending another $1000.00 for a new phone. Its getting ridiculous with all these new devices coming out.
I think that S8 doesn't deserve Android Q because it has like 3 years old but Note 8 just had 1 year and 11 months when android 10 final was released.

Both the SGS8 series and the Note 8 were both released in the same year. The old differences is that the SGS8 was released earlier than the Note 8. That said they both run on the same hardware with the exception that the Note 8 has the S-Pen.

You know the Note 8 in Europe sells for about 329€ (VAT included) now right!? Buy a Note 9 (for 400 and something) and you'll get Android Q

This sounds good on paper, but it is still an "old" device (in 2020) that will soon suffer a similar (unsupported) fate to the Note 8 in a few more months.
I believe Samsung is in the business of primarily selling only new phones, so I suspect the Note8's performance may become throttled like an old iPhone in the monthly security updates.
I can't consider selling my Note8 to buy a Note9 for a few dollars more when they are basically the same thing just to get Q. I'm not yet seeing a feature in the Note10 to make me part with my money other than the eye-candy interface.
Q is not worth spending extra cash for. Have tried it on my N9 and N10 and went back to Pie on both. Just my opinion others love it. I still use my N8 and it is still one of the best devices out there in 2020, but let's face it Samsung only gives 2 major updates to a device so S8 Note 8 will not be getting it. Can it support it??? I'm sure it can but Samsung wants to make money by getting boneheads like me to purchase a new device.

Little chance. Remember that, Note 4 Operating system
Original: Android 4.4.4 "KitKat"
First major update: Android 5.0.1 "Lollipop"
Second major update: Android 5.1.1 "Lollipop"
Third major update: Android 6.0.1 "Marshmallow"
Note 8 Operating system
Original: Android 7.1.1
First major update: Android 8.0
Second major update: Android 9
Third major update: why not?

Yes both have same hardware but Note 8 has 6GB RAM and Dual camera and the S8 4GB with a Single camera. I think that a mobile that was release near 2018 by 1000$ deserved Android Q. Samsung policies must change in the flagship.
What's even worse is I'm running a Touchwiz Android 9 rom with Android 10 apps on my 6 edge plus. International device used here in United states with wifi calling..video calls..advanced messaging and volte. My point is if the old 6edge plus can handle this there is no reason the S8 or N8 cant. But I just dont see it happening. Many will read this thread and ask what's the point. But I like to see things like this talked about even if it doesn't go anywhere.

It's not financially viable to support an old device for another year... It might make people NOT shell out $1000+ for a new device if the operating system is the same & officially supported....
It takes a special breed to root, flash and enjoy the fruits of our labour that most people WON'T do with a device that cost a large chunk of cash. Hell, most people don't even know what Android 10 is.
The average consumer has no idea how, or why it's a good thing to use the latest operating system...
Yes this was the point I made before. It's all about $$$$[emoji16]. And you are exactly right, we are a rare breed on xda. Most people get a device because it looks good. Not because of battery..display..themes..roms...root..disable this keep that...camera...lol its shiny so I'm buying it.

I don't think those articles about the Note 8 getting Android 10 is incorrect. As the Note 8 has already received 2 major android OS updates. However we should still receive security patches for android Pie.
