Samsung Experience (Oreo) - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Is there any way to have the new Oreo version of Touchwiz without having to install one of the Alpha ROMS? There are a couple of really great efforts and Kudos to the developers but for my part a ROM with no Bluetooth is pretty much useless.
Thanks.....

hahahahaha...

@zek87 That's impressively mature!

Thanks...will subscribe to both threads...

if you want the oreo touchwiz home this one works well. but the landscape mode won't work until you change your device model to s9

Seem Nexus 4 will never get official MIUI ROM

On Sina Weibo,when someone from Xiaomi posted a tweet
"We again urge those who familiar with adoption of MIUI help adopt MIUI v5 to more phone. Our upcoming plan is develop for Galaxy S4 and HTC One. Bevause we seriously lack of developer, that's probably all we can do before end of the year. Contact mcming_小米 if you are interested"
A user asked in reply "So how about Nexus 4?" And he said "already given up, I think Stock is better for Nexus 4"
And another user replied subsequently "Why you think Nexus 4 better stay stock? Is it because you want to reduce competition of Xiaomi MI-2?" he replied "If you don't think stock rom is good, why do you buy Nexus 4?"
and he also said in another post:
"Adoptation of MIUI on third party devices are based on their active user count within China. We believe stats from Baidu and Taobao. And we also support some local brand quality phone with fewer user base because of our love on Chinese local phone. They may not buy Xiaomi for some purpose, but as far as they buy quality Chinese phone, they are user of MIUI. For non-Chinese brand's phone, other than Samsung/HTC, user base are too small amd it's meaningless to support them."
*All quote above are translated by myself and sorry for poor translation.
But he's right, Miui is not good on our phone... It runs pretty bad. Gone are the gingerbread days. Most people just use miui only for the lighter theme anyways...

Have you ever tried MIUI on a Nexus 4? It runs nearly perfect and faster and smoother than the stock Rom.
A nice video to see what I mean:

What are you talking about? MIUI 5 flies on N4.

Well, if you ask me, this thread is insignificant. No offence at all.
MIUIAndroid mako builds are being taken seriously by Mark. He never abandons anything that he has already started and so is in the case of N4.
We don't need to worry, once Mark sets out the word that his builds are stable enough with every App and feature working, Xiaomi will surely consider it in :good:
The nexus 4 beta roms are being posted at miui along with 48 other devices, so its not completely unsupported. My personal experience is the ROM is very smooth and performs really well. And there are a number of efforts on this from itself, at last count 3 threads in the dev forum on miui roms.
The latest 3.6.13 posted gets around 17250 on antutu stock and is buttery smooth. The one by Soul_Raider on this forum is also excellent and extremely smooth. Most of the bugs have been fixed. Its definitely worth trying.

Same thoughts here. But only thing I'm really missing - full working miui camera app. Stock google cam, kinda out of overall design(
Build process
Can anyone elaborate more on the work of individual developers regarding this rom?
I do not understand the players in this game. what does Xiomi develope? and what does Mark and others developing? how do they use Xiomi work?
I really love MIUI (back from the days of S1) but i want to know development is not going to stop on this before i install it.

MIUI

anyone seen this: http://gsminsider.com/2013/11/miui-android-4-4-kitkat-february-2014/
i know there is much hate on miui. i've used it in the past on other phones and it was not a bad experience.
Nice, looking forward to try out miui once it becomes available.

REKOGNÍZED KONYHABÚTOR
I'd like to see this working, but the last phone I owned that had a fully functional, non-buggy MIUI rom was the Samsung Fascinate back in 2011. Every other phone I've owned since then (roughly 6-7 devices) have had buggy, incomplete and/or barely usable MIUI roms. As much as I hate to say it, I feel like MIUI's time has come and gone.

Hmm I never really ran into crazy bugs. The biggest issue is lack of device support, it can be a major pain the ass to get them to work on new devices.
It took forever for them to release for the nexus 4 but when they did it was pretty solid.
I hope they do release a build just so i can give it a shot, probably not a daily driver.
I have some bad news.
I'm a Chinese and I have talked with one of MIUI's employers this morning.
MIUI will officially support Nexus7(2013) running 4.4.X in the future but it will take a few months before official release. (I guess it's because of their MiPad)
Nexus 5 is not on the support list right now. (Sun Peng is always bluffing on Weibo) (And Nexus4's MIUI is supported by developers rather than MIUI)
MIUI will not release 4.4.x patchrom in the near future because only few devices running KitKat now.
So, I don't think there will be a MIUI patchrom for 4.4.X before Feb.

Yep, same here. I think the last bug free version of MIUI I ever experienced was the Virgin Mobile LG Optimus V, lol!
Then again, this is the first Nexus device I've owned after owning the S2 and S4, and I must say that this device is so much easier to mod than any other device, so we'll see.

True. Honestly though, even a perfect MIUI rom isn't going to have a place on my phone. It was great back in the Gingerbread days since stock Android wasn't really "there" yet, but I don't see what kind of advantage it could really offer over stock KitKat. In particular, I see the lack of an app drawer as a major hindrance at this point. My homescreen setup has gotten more and more efficient over the years (I'm down to 2 home screens + GNow). The last thing I want now is to have all of my apps puked out on a zillion homescreens and then try to organize it all. I realize I can use another launcher, but to me that kind of defeats the purpose of flashing MIUI in the first place.
Lets wait for it Tried miui v5 in htc desire S and it works great
And updates weekly is awesome.
had miui on htc desire, htc sensation, s2, didnt have official on nexus4....i cant imagine how good it will work on nexus 5
http://news.mydrivers.com/1/291/291827.htm might be the new look of miui v6 ...i know is just a concept but looks interesting

With note 2 miui was the only ROM that was lag free, especially when turning off the screen with CRT animation, it was the only ROM that was smooth...but not even comparable with stock n5

DN5 vs. Sixperience Note 5

We, Exynos Note 4 users, are super lucky to have so many great developers working on ROMs to make our phones better. Over the last few days we got 2 Note 5 ports! They don't differ much and I'm asking you which one do you prefer more? I'm torn between them both and I can't figure out which one I should flash later on. I have heard that Electron Team members are bringing a new update soon that fixes many bugs but geiti94 isn't sleeping either.
Both are excellent roms. I'm on sixperia waiting for dn5 v0.2

Yeah, I would have never thought that Exynos version would get so much support. :highfive:
The 2nd version of DN Port by E-Team is great. Fast and smooth. And almost bug-free.
Well, I am going to come back to 5.1.1 stock rom. I feel more comfortable with that rom.

I think that there is a port for Sprint Note 4.
Sixperience best
Not the right time to ask such a question.
Actually after testing both roms they are pretty much the same which confuses me
But as the both roms are still under development amd improvements so the answer of your question will be very hard to tell may be after a month or so you can get a clear answer.
And go try for yourself
All in all thanks for the great developers for their big efforts and their sleepless night to bring our devices back to life.
Finaly a Full Note 5 Port was released today by echoeteam. For 910F.... flashed already and works great !

[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.

No ROM Development for the S6 Edge +?

Hi,
is there any Developer doing "Strange Things" with this device? it's such a powerful beast with lots of goodies, to be forgotten by the community.
I saw a port from a note8, but I don't want TouchWiz anymore, I saw a Pixel ROM [Which I might use] but the Post has not been updated in a long time.
PLEASE SHARE some information or Known ROM I've might be ignoring at all.
Thanks.

I've recently bought an S6E+ with the intention of turning it into either an S8 or N8 - the pixel rom does look tempting though. It's built on a samsung base but has most of their rubbish removed, I've not owned a Samsung since my GS3 but was under the impression that touchwiz was now a much lighter skin on top of android?
I do think it is a shame that things seem to be quiet though, as you say. Ok the S6 is 2 generations old now but it's still capable of a lot

As Taz444 stated Samsungvn has great roms for this device. I too am running DX5.0 final rom. Im quite sure the developer will have a Oreo rom as he seems to put one out every month. All of Khongloi files can be found on Androidfilehost, latest N8 kernel is best for Note8 ports. But the lates by Toannlu has a ton of mods.. Usually what works for Note5C or Note5T..will work in 6edge plus. Happy flashing.

No good for me. My G928G is rebooting a lot. That's sucks, this ROM (DX 5.0) is so good, have so many features, but in my phone didn't work
I also have a g928g and want to install dx5.0, do I need a kernel? I read someone said something about them, where can I find them? Which would be the one fo dx5.0?
