Just a simple question but with the note 4 right around the corner, is it possible to get the same features on the note 3 such as the calligraphy for s pen and recents? I'm sure this is too early to know but was just wondering if you all think it's possible. Getting my note 3 today for att
I'm sure it's all software based, so chances are pretty good it'll get back-ported.

Thanks for the quick response. I had the 3 on sprint but switched to at&t am now I'm using a g2 which is a great phone but I really miss the big screen and s pen
People have started this process of back porting. Unfortunately at this time it's not working. The new 4.4.4 Samsung is based on qmg files. Not png like our note 3. If the new update for the note 3 is qmg based we might have a better chance. But I doubt Samsung will make it that easy.

Thanks for the info
I keep seeing posts by people moaning about note 5 for what ? Sammy don't care about xda members.
Why don't we get all the best developers of note 4 owners to work together to port the Base of note 5 ROM over to note 4 and then they can all go each there own way and work on the ROM as they please.
PS. I think Sammy didn't include the ext sd because idiot Google started introducing the vague restrictions on what you can do with the ext sd. That combined with there war with apple.
I will go for note 5 when it comes to UK only because it has the spen which no other phone has so like so many others I won't be moving to LG or what ever.
Please developers work together in porting it over so we can get it faster to note 4.
this is always the dream/hope.

It would still be touchwiz. Thus slow and a waste of time.
When we get officialy 5.1.1 porting Roms like s6 edge and note 5 will be easier right? And they will even work better than they already do?
i finally had a fast touchwiz woth simplerom thaks for the devs :thumbup:
give it a try if your sick of tw lag

I got Bobcat ROM and I am using 3c toolbox and no lag. Thus fast and worth the time.
such a rom port would probably only be possible for note4s with exynos!
a snapdragon port would be nice, although I highly doubt that that would possible!

And why wouldn't that be possible?
There where a lot of things devs said wouldn't be possible when the note 3 came out with the knoks chip but e still got our root sorted and able to flash custom roms and let alone rooting without triggering the knoks.
So I can assure you its possible but the more top devlepors that works together on it the better and quicker it will happen.
Sadly they ain't interested in doing so. They just working on roms for note 4 that are already working as that's easier.
Seems like we need a rough Dev to kick start this project.

The s6 and s6 edge are exynos too but Dr.keetan here on xda and friedrich420 on echoerom forum succeded in porting them to the note 4 f variant which is a snapdragon. So it should not be impossible

It surely is possible and it comes. Think of the S6 Edge ports.
But it will take time, until someone figures it out.
i have been looking into note 5 firmware and have a build that boots to bootanimation then reboots after 1-2 minutes but thats it
Of course it doesn't help that there is only an exynos note 5 and a good chunk of us has snapdragon

great man! Keep up the good work please!
It's sad to see Note 5 ports for the S6 and no ports yet for our beloved Note 4!
I really hope someone ports the Note 5 software to the note 4. I keep checking xda every couple of days in hope of something popping up. To me it made no sense porting the Note 5 software to the S6 when it has no S Pen???

As we all know, Android Marshmallow will surely be on our great device, the Note 4. Leaked news say that Note 4 users will start receiving the update in February. Galaxy S6 and its brother Edge will be getting it on January, while the Note 5 and S6 Edge Plus will get it this December. According to these news, the new update will have a new TouchWiz. You can see that it is flat and more Material Design. As we all heard (or some of us), that Google is helping Samsung to create a new TouchWiz that will be so light and so materialistic, which as we can see in the link that it is really more beautiful and looks neater than the older versions. Now, will this new TouchWiz be on our Note 4? I believe it will. I know that the TouchWiz on the Note 5 isn't there for Note 4, but I believe Samsung did that to boost the sales of their Note 5 as it got a lot of bad reviews. Now that a lot of people have bought the Note 5, I think we will get this new TouchWiz along the update Android Marshmallow, or Samsung might even decide to keep their boost for the Note 5 and S7, and release the new TouchWiz for the Note 4 in Android 6.1 (maybe?).
What do you think?

I dont think so we will get the new theme engine.
we could get an improved touchwhiz.
but in 2016 i'll get a note 6.
used all notes from 2 to 4
but due to lack of expandable storage. I'll be skipping note 5. But thanks to rumours. I'm quite positive that it will make a comeback (fingers crossed)
The results are given here. There's nothing more to talk about. Look at how they ditched that poor note 3. I guess android 6.0 will be the last update for our note 4.

This isn't the last list, it will keep updating. Samsung is really good in making phones but they really suck at software... I am close to ditching it, but I got my Note 4 in September which is most likely for me switch to Nexus phones (or even iOS) in the next few years. Though, hopefully Samsung will enhance due to the next few years...

Hmmm your right, but what I ment to say was looking at note 3's disapproval for android 6.0, note 4 too may not get android 7.0 when it will be released in the future 1 or 2 years from now.

Hehe... yea bro! hopefully they would. But sammy has already heading towards 64 bit OS. The exynos note 4 supports 64 bit libs but our snapdragon phone doesn't.
64bit would help our device alot but it won't happen.. 6.1 should probably be our final build but im on cm so ima stay with the note 4

Hmmm... choice also matters bro. Those who love pure android experience and want latest android versions prefer CM. But as for me, having the latest android version doesn't matter much for me as I love the stock firmware coz there are so many extra options & features that I may not find it on CM. (Not to forget the s-pen features too). Also rooting & installing touchwiz based kernels & roms is like extra icing on the cake! ^_^
Is any news about marshmallow update? Are those release dates official?
hmmm i don't think that the note 4 will have the new touchwiz in near update but i think that it can be ported to our device buy our extremely talented devs.

Of course it won't, it's going to be the story of S3 and we'll also get it badly optimized, but things will be fixed and ported by someone here, as always.
Now we are with Android 5.1.1 BUT still with the old TouchWize UI except some few visual changes here or their !!!
Samsung policy is always like this .... the older generation get nothing new until the Note 4 is dead officially & removed from Samsung lists.
I sold my Note 4 few months back & I got iPhone 6s (such a cool smartphone), then I decide to buy another Note 4 because of the Stylus I really like to play with it, so I'm keeping mt Note 4 as second phone for my other sim.
accept it like it is, update stuff is not for Samsung or Note 4 enjoy like this way.
if you need fast updates get iPhone (I really recommend it) or Nexus phone, also HTC & LG providing faster updates.

Yes man, iPhone providing smooth & easy way for dealing with stuff, & old iPhones get the new OS even before releasing the new iPhone.
Apps quality are also better in iOS.
in short ...in spite of my short experience with Apple & iOS but believe me iPhone does provide user experience that I can't live without it.
and if Apple will one day provide iPhone with stylus, a Samsung Note like, so many people will leave Samsung for Apple.

Of topic?
This threat is for note 4 marshmallow update.
From wat i saw in both s5 and note 4 neither s5 nor note 4 will have the new touchwiz , u already mentioned the reason cuz both note 4 and note5 are too close in terms of hardware so as usual Samsung decided to go against it's habit and decided not to port the new touchwiZ to note 4 Just to make sure that note5 sales are doing well , and about 6.1 update for note 4 I doubt it will have it I think android 6.0 is going to the last update for note 4 same as note3 that didn't get android 5.1.1 and left with buggy android 5.0 unfortionatly This is Samsung THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT MONEY and ptl dont say That every manfacturer does because they don't do it in Samsung way, anyway I am waiting for the update and if leaks were true that it won't have The latest touchwiz as Samsung used to do with previous notes I will move to another brand mostly the next nexus.
I flashed the Dark Lord Note 5 port for my Note 3 (T-Mobile N900T) and since its a Note 5 port and its being considered as a Note 5 (considered as in Settings it says Note 5 and the model number of a Note 5 (SM-920C) does this mean I have to/can use Note 5 kernels even though it is a port? I am new to ported ROMs.

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).:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

?? I'm just expressing my thoughts, I reckon it'd be a good idea. Why would you not want Nougat on your device? We finally have an official Nougat rom from Samsung for the Galaxy Note series, so now it would be possible to port it, right?
No, it's not possible. The Note 5 has completely different hardware.

I don't have a Note 3. I suppose some device with similar hardware received marshmallow, so there was a base to port other firmwares.
We should wait for Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 because it has the same hardware of our Note 4 (Exynos) and it will have Nougat update.

difference in bootloaders, android 6.0 and android 7.0 have different bootloaders so it impossible to port. Devs will try to port Tab s2 firmware after android nougat release for it. coz N4 and Tab s2 have identical hardware.
Well i think thats not going to happen until note 4 will get an official nougat update because as far i know to run any nougat ported touchwiz roms on any variant of note 4 require a touchwiz nougat kernel and sadly none of the note 4 model will get nougat update.
