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).

Lol

Or the 910V!

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've noticed that whenever I receive notifications on my device and I am using it at the time, I would hear the notification sound (for example, received a new email) and then the multi-window tray opens up. Strange indeed.

Thats strange indeed. Also thats the old multi window isnt it? The new one is accessed through the app switcher

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.

Good lock is causing the popup. All versions after .10

24.0.10 from apkmirror.com

Pixel camera port with night sight

Hi everyone....I am looking for Google Pixel camera port with HDR+, portrait mode and Night sight.
I downloaded a app a few weeks ago and it just didn't work then I have just downloaded a APK linked to a YouTube video and the night sight worked but portrait mode and normal camera just came out with over exposed photos that came out white.
Any good apks for Note 9 that can help me??

bump!

First: Exynos or Snapdragon?
Second: Why start a new thread? There's already a thread for both Exynos and Snapdragon. Everything you need to know should be covered there.

If you're on Exynos Oreo, go to https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/themes/app-collection-note-9-exynos-gcam-t3892545

If you have the Snapdragon variant I suggest following the method on Reddit, r/GalaxyNote9. Just search "Note 9 - fully working Gcam port Snapdragon" in the search bar. Everything works for me, just be sure to follow the steps mentioned in the post.
PS: Pretty new here, I can't post links yet .

There's a huge thread about this already in the apps and themes section. It's labeled working GCAm for Snapdragon.

Hey everyone
Thank you for the help.
I have started a new thread because every thread I went to supplied a camera that were really unstable and I was beginning to forget which ones I have downloaded, so I decided to make a thread.
I have a UK Exynos version and I have still not found a good one. I had a S7 edge before this and that Gcam Apk was brilliant, never failed and was always stable. I have come over to N9 and there have been so many bad ones.
Also there all having this really bad contrast problem, looks like I have some ULTRA flash...looks awful

This is how a image looks

Based on the very quick read I just did in the Exynos thread, there is no one-apk solution available and likely won't be in the near future. What that means is that you must use a separate app for night sight, and another for regular daylight shooting. That is why you're getting overexposed photos.
Again - you could have asked this in the same thread. No need to clutter up the board

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

I want to be a Tester send me a Private Message with link

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.

Question Gcam for Samsung A13

I can't find a section for the samsung a13 4G so I'm posting here
I used to have gcam on my previous phone but sadly all versions have tried failed to install on the A13
Has any developer been able to find a work around please

I had a similar problem on my A13 5g,
it's only a 32 bit CPU, while most of the GCam apk's appear to be 64 bit.
I guess Samsung saved a few cents with this

Mine's the 4G version and it's also 32 bit

Looks like both our options are limited because of this.
If you stumble across a 32 bit Gcam mod that works, please update the thread

Good

the galaxy a13 4g and 5g are 64 bit, however I understand that gcam doesnt work because these phones do not support Camera2API. The same is true of all A series phones to my knowledge
