As the title implies, I would be more than willing to donate my phone (to use, not keep!) so one of you great devs can port a ROM For the US Cellular variant of the Note 5. It seems development is always lacking for our phones. I've already rooted it, just hoping to see some awesome custom ROMS / Kernels. If you are a developer and feel generous, please feel free to pm me or respond to this thread. Thanks.
BUMP
Willing to donate my phone + some monetary incentive to any devs willing to port a good rom. I'm a custom ROM addict, just the US Cellular variant Note 5 is lacking in development as usual

I think the reason no one's building roms for certain variants of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is because of the Exynos cpu.. Apparently it has to many bugs on CyanogenMod that aren't able to be fixed easily.. What cpu does yours have?

It's got the Exynos 7420. I know the s7 has the quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon, (at least here in the US) but honestly the reason I held onto my Note 5 is because I like the Exynos 8 core processor. I'm sure eventually some devs will work out the bugs and start development. It's just a matter of time. I remember it took quite a while for custom ROMS to start showing up for my US Cellular S3.

I'm willing to give it a shot since you've already got root.. I just have to find the correct source code so I'll look around and see if I can find anything on github and Google and talk to a few of my dev friends and try to get it going on my nix box.

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 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.

Oh right, which version of GoodLock would you recommend then?
24.0.10 from apkmirror.com
Ok we obviously won't get any hardware-dependent features, but we should get the new camera interface / live text translation / split-screen app shortcuts etc, right?
Just lol... Yeah, in 15 minutes all the developers on xda will answer you. With the exact date and time and the mod they will port. After all, the S9 is now already 6 months old. Hang on...

Ideally those features should come with the Oreo update of Note 8. Can't see any other logical reason for delaying the update of their current flagship as most of these tweaks require dual camera which s8 or + dont have thus they just released the oreo without that. But, they cannot release the new features on Note 8 before they show it off in S9. Thus the hold up in the update. Releasing a Oreo update for Note 8 without those features and then again releasing one more later with the update is too much work thus they must have skipped the former.

Lol dude, chill.. nobody is expecting definitive answers. I meant do you think Samsung might include these features in future updates. I was hoping for a discussion on what is theoretically possible, now that a lot of S9 features have been leaked.

You're not the "XDA police" so stop acting like you're superior to the rest of the people posting here.

All you do is post some stupid sarcastic comment to try and make the previous poster feel like an idiot instead of actually helping them.
Aremoji should work because there doesn't seem to be any hardware limitation
After the s9 sales well yes the note 8 will get key features as for anytime soon no forget it
Hopefully we at least see Oreo soon. I'm still salty because Samsung just cut the Samsung Pay reward points in half....
We will see (I hope) many good things when Oreo hits the note 8, I can not say that features from s9+, but hey! They belong to a different series, I bought my note 8 for what it is and the features it offered from day one, so, anything else would be a very welcome bonus, that is why I do not complain or whine about oreo still not coming, I like my device as I bought it, that is why I chose it, that`s it.
i did saw the live launch yesterday and they displayed for a few seconds that the S8/S8+/Note 8 is AR capable
so lets see if Oreo update will allow us to have S9 AR capable camera features
Honestly I doubt it unless 3rd party ports them. They're running out of ideas for new upgrades it's obvious and to port new software features to older phones isn't the best marketing move. That's just my opinion.

S9 system dump was just released. I already ported it but without Oreo most stuff doesn't work and it's extremely buggy. If anyone wants screens or anything just join my Telegram group [at]JaysRoms . Once we will get Oreo. I will port S9 to Note8 .
Samsung messed up this time BIG time. We all paid very good money for the note 8 for a good phone - ok? Yes, that is true but to wait almost a full year for the Oreo update? Common SAMSUNG...
Now the S9 series will be on top of everything and in a few months the Note 9 will so our 1000 bucks Note 8 will be "old" , "sluggish" an so on... This is bul**** my friends.
When I pay this money I am expecting fast update, support and ALL the new software features. But we are to blame! We should stop buying new phones every year! If we stay with a phone at least 2 years and don't give them our money they will start to understand that a 5 months old phone IS NOT OLD!

your first mistake was expecting fast update from Sammy. they are known for their obscene late updates and if im not wrong, the current price of the Note 8 is already pretty low before S9 even hit.
i was even thinking of rooting but thx to Substratum especially the font addons. again, i maybe wrong, cause i do shot video at 60fps, rooting may very well kill that feature. yeah, there is rooted stock rom but i root for flashing purer rom if theres such word and therein lies the problem, no more 60fps!
Anyone who expects S9 features to be present in the Note 8 rom must be smoking something illegal...
Where in the world is the economic sense to supply these features in their next phone if owners of older phones have it already?
Why would you update your hardware if you are already running most of the improvements?
We'll probably get a slightly beefed up version of Oreo that the S8 and S8+ got and won't see any of the S9 features until 6 months after the S9's and S9+'s relaese. There's no money in it for Samsung...
My view on major updates is mixed. Monthly security updates are in my view mandatory and Samsung continues to offer those down to the S6.
Major OS updates can yield mixed performance and stability results when applied to older hardware. Further, the advances from say Nougat to Oreo- range from significant (Treble (which the 8 series will not get with Android 8.0), better battery life, notifications, etc ) to cosmetic.
Samsung Experience new version tweaks seem even less important. I can live without new emojis for example.
I think the bottom line is that with Oreo and Project Treble, Samsung and others should be able to churn out faster and more reliable updates. The issue pre Oreo was more on Androids limitations and less on Samsung's intransigence. That said, the omission of Treble from the 8 series Oreo updates is troubling. Maybe this will come with 8.1.

No Samsung won't be releasing any of the s9 features for note 8 as it would cripple the s9 sales and the note 9.
They only did that with the note 5 when note 7 was recalled as a apology of some sort.
The XDA devs on the other hand are know to to port stuff somewhere down the line but sadly we don't ha e that many devs for note 8 yet as we did for previous notes such as note 3 and 4.
Hopefully more devs will buy note 8 when note 9 is released when price falls.
Hello! Here we will discuss the development of Project Treble for Alice. I kind of already know how to add it.:
1) you need to create a TWRP WITH a new "Vendor" section"
2)to build the firmware, support Treble
3) Build a kernel with Treble support
Commit to the kernel: https://github.com/thune-xiaobai/an...mmit/5b61c8487f9067bb5efb01d1f4d813e454118d14
(Don't know, but it seems to work)
I'd try it myself, but there's no equipment.
It would be fantastic, but doesn't make sense Treble for alice, because you know, every Oreo ROM doesn't work good on this device...

The developers are dead. Nobody is working for Alice anymore. I myself want to move on to Samsung j7 2016 as it has better Oreo support and a partition I can use for vendor.
I will continue releasing ROMs for this device for a little longer, and probably be the last since OpenKirin probably won't work on this device anymore.
-P.S. This is not the right subforum to post this kind of thread. The "P8lite Android Development" subforum is made just for releasing ROMs, kernels and recoveries.
Regards,
It s not easy as you can see there. Redmi note 4 has qcom chipset and there is just a little game to fix all bugs and got a stable oreo rom. Here on Kirin we need to base all sources in some stuff from emui and we always need latest emui to have latest android os and with it, it s still not a game to fix bugs coz of kirin closed sources.
After this start let s come back at port of treble,
He (dev of redmi note 4) made first a normal lineage os non-treble fully stable and then he moved of drivers in vendor by using cust un-used partition, by this he converted non-treble rom in a treble enabled rom. Here we need first an oreo non-treble stable rom or the result would be the same. Also I was working with haky86 on it and we got flashing vendor and booting up issues.
So it s impossible this here
Isn't enough tho.
I port project treble on my lepro3 from his brother, the lemax2. How they did that, they found unused partition called /firmware about 600mb and created with a script called partition.zip that should be flashed via twrp.
secondly you have to move all blobs in that /vendor, thirdly you need a bindrized kernel fully compatible with oreo. as final thing treble will not solve bugs like ril or camera. so if not fixed in the whole device tree and vendor same bugs will be noticed on treble too.
I'm talking about the experience on my lepro3.

Having a newer android version doesn't mean anything, and tbh, i really liked the P8Lite emui skin, it was very close to android 8 skin. And about under the hood changes, yea... I feel like huawei could give us at least 6.0.1, newer kernel or latest gpu drivers, but meh... don't buy a phone just because it has android x, buy for the hardware. Try xiaomi, or Chinese brands, not Samsung. Those are one of the worst per price ratio phones. That j7 will struggle even with today's games, let alone future ones.

I have Mi A1 haha, my only salvation to remove emui was the ROMs but I see that this phone is not going very well (p8 lite) so I decided to renew myself, now I am with Android pure 8.1

Lol it's like 200+ in my country where are you from? Also, why don't you follow hakys path? 200eu for oneplus 3t specs, treble, volte vowifi android pie everything available I'll highly recomand it, also, it looks like 3t, basically a cheap version of that(i meam like literally, and the quality is same as top high end phones). Get into LeEco Le Pro 3, you won't regret it even after years. Also, tell me ANOTHER photo under 150-200 euro which can run fortnite ) (yep, it's running for me, also vulkan api is overkill, and will be for this phone for at least 5 years). Let's not even talk that everything is open source.

Ecactly, with a low budget xiaomi is the best. On grossoshop all prices are no more than 300€ for top phones

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!
