A look at the leaked Lollipop build on the Note 3. Should be pretty much the same for the Note 4.
Looks very nice indeed! Especially the Dialer, Settings overview and Previews look much better than on 4.4.4.
Very promising!

Nice nice.
Which someone would v port the Lockean
I personally don't like the Vanilla flavor of Lollipop on my Nexus 7, the TouchWiz overlay is essential to complete Lollipop. :good:
I've got the leaked L build flashed on my Note 3 (N9005) since Christmas Eve, timing couldn't be better.
It performs way more fluidly and consistently than the Note 4 (N910C) on 4.4.4. If this is what Lollipop brings to the table for Android, I can't wait until the OTA drops. Samsung, it's 2015, and your flagship's been waiting months!

Don't nag! Does your Note 4 only work on 5.0?
I experienced lollipop on my S5 and I isn't that fluid at all, now having a note 4 I hope it will be.Shame there are no news when it will be released....
Lollipop users - is the calculator bug still there?

when it's up to me it has nothing to do with nagging, this is a discussion site. My Note 4 just isn't fluid in daily use and my fingerprint scanner is more a gimmick than a useful feature. Reading the posts about 5.0 being more fluid i'm also waiting for this update. Until then I almost don't install any software. I'm still not sure if selling my Note 3 was a wise decision.

if your note 4 is not fluid with stock then either it needs a reset or probably something wrong with your device

I'm the opposite. I'm loving Lollipop vanilla but I cry and cringe every time I see or use TouchWiz.
I just wish someone would leak the Note 4 TW Lollipop build soon. Or at least Samsung release it. I just can't stand the lag on 4.4.4 TW. Most of all the multitasking switcher.
I think Note 3 is better than Note 4 because its better optimized system and we will see if it'll change with Lollipop for the Note 4, but this is always going to be this way on newer devices. Note 3 works for me much better and is fluently than the 4 is @ this time.
I find the recent apps menu to work flawlessly on my note N910F...idk why so many people have problems with that.

Which variant of Note 3 and Note 4 are you talking about? I had a Note 3 Snapdragon and now I have an Exynos Note 4 and surely Note 4 is smoother, faster and has a little better battery life.I am very satified and Lollipop is around the corner to perfect the expierience
Both Snapdragon but I would'n say the CPU makes the difference since Note 3 is working perfectly. I'm not saying the Note 4 is bad, but the Note 3 is working better on stock ROM's.
My old snapdragon note 3 is wiped nothing installed and on latest stock. Its definetly worse than my exynos note 4 and not even close.
And old touchwiz just sucks slow and laggy i wouldnt buy note 4 if they didnt change it.
is the leaked build 64 bit ? 64 bit kernel for exynos with armv8 instruction set ?
Nope, Samsung will not be adding 64-bit support for the note 4 most likely nor for the note 3...

Hello people,
I have lollipop on both phones my old Note 3 which has the 2 months ago leaked 5.0 and Note 4 Poland 5.0.1. Now that I have both of them next to each other, I can tell you that the Note 3 is way fluid, smoother in animation and faster than the Note 4. I'm not sure why but it feels like Note 3 is the newer not the Note 4.
For example, downloading apps from google play you can see this mil second pause on the moving bar but on the Note 3 is non stop. Even when scrolling on long list I can tell that the animation is lower than 30 FPS but on the Note 3 is over 50fps for sure.
What could be the reason behind this? is it the 2k display? or is it the GPU on the SD? or the Note 3 software is better optimized ?
would love to hear from you.
I too am very curious about this.
Is your note 4 snapdragon or exynos?

He has the Polish 5.0.1 Samsung firmware, so it's Exynos.
Hi all,
I have N910C, flashed fresh over Odin 3.09 and it is working really great on my device, way way better and responsive than on KitKat 4.4.4. This time Samsung done great job with TW, no more lag.
I never liked to make OTA update as it is kind "dirty", especially when we have so huge update from KitKat to Lollipop.
dalvik -> art etc, a lot of things which make huge impact on performance.
Id say the higher resolution is the reason, although the note 4 has faster hardware the extra 1000 pixels is a tough weight to pull. With that samsung likely reduced animation frames to conserve power and fluidity.
Back when lcd tech was only just starting to roll and 720p was the most common standard, we all felt a big hit moving to 1080p. I remember lots of people having to update systems just to keep their gaming withdrawls in check, ahh the days.

Where did you get 1000 pixels from?! Note 4's screen has over 1.5 million more pixels than Note 3's.
A 1000 more pixel lines i ment.
Even before the update my brothers Note 3 was more fluid and smooth in compare to my Note 4.
I thought so too, but i did find app initiation time and response was slightly better on note 4 from memory. I concluded that the animation fps was lower on note 4 and less appealing but overall was more stable.
Who ever say it because of the higher resolution, I started to doubt that. I own Tab S 8.4 as well which is based on 4.4.2 and has less powerful CPU with QHD screen just like the Note 4. The animation on the Tab s is more fluid than the Note 4 which has better CPU/GPU. I really started to think that the software is not optimized as much as it needs to be and I bet you that people with 805 SD will see a better animation and smoothness.

Dunno when i put them side by side note 4 is definetly faster. And even before update note 3 was better seriously? 4.4.2 on note 3 sucks imo i wrote that alot of time if they wouldnt upgrade that tw i wouldnt touch any other samsung phone. 1st responsive and smooth tw on any samsung phone i tested was note 4 exynos. And with 5.0.1 its even better i have a nexus 5 too and samsung did a great job with this update in my opinion.
I flashed my 910F with 5.0.1 today and the phone felt sluggish and worse then kitkat.
made a factory reset and now its perfect. didn't find any lag at all so far, finally feels like lollipop. (and got my first 50k on antutu with a stock touchwiz rom)

I tried s6 in store. There isnt much difference with note 4 lollipop. There is some small changes could be good for note 4 too. Like some buttons moved down tabs button on browser and all buttons in gallery etc.
In performance i saw no difference even s6 had stutters on animations. And they say camera launch very fast but it was pretty same with my exynos note 4.in night mode s6 is faster it was all.
And there is no multitasking button lag. Note 4 still has initial 0.5 sec delay if its your 1st press for while but later than if you keep spamming on both it was same speed app switches was faster on note 4.
And it was heating alot.(it wasnt on charge) dunno but it didnt feel very fast it was nearly identical with my exynos note 4.

I guess it all depends on what apps are running already in the background. I've found on my Note 4 that a number of apps auto restart in the background which slows down the CPU performance. Sadly the only way to control apps restarting or refreshing in the background is to root and if you've just bought your phone, you're unlikely to want to root your phone and void the warranty.
I'm just hoping for a smoother feel. The new s6 TouchWiz was tested on the snapdragon chip but Samsung used their own chip like you said. This is a little worrying in respect of all previous models with snapdragon chips. Just have to wait and see I guess.

Background apps there for s6 too you cant avoid it. I dont see any slowdowns on my exynos note 4 lollipop. Dont expect alot of difference if you dont like current lollipop on note 4. Cuz s6 and note 4 was very similar on my test.
The animations on the S6 are smoother and better looking overall I don't get how people can't see them lol...From my point of view it does look really fast and better than the current Lollipop build on our Note 4 devices.Let's hope we get the new UI it would really benefit the note 4.

Well they are not, even it has animation stutters. Better looking maybe but definetly not smoother tried on like 4 different phones all had stutters generally. It could be cuz pre relaese software its ok but how do you have the idea its faster and smoother while its definetly not atm atleast not from exynos note 4.

I looked at some review of the phone and it looked smooth, I agree that I did see some small stutter but it isn't that noticeable.I am not saying that my note 4 SD isn't smooth but the S6 looks smoother to me.Also look at how the dialer opens fast as well as contacts and some other stock apps.

It's not the fact that I don't like lollipop on the Note 4, clearly we have to wait for the final release of 5.0.1 or even 5.0.2. The current versions are test versions and are not final. When the full roll out comes for the Note 4, we'll get a better comparison. Also the two phones use different chips so if you've got an exynos Note 4 then you have a better comparison to the s6 in terms of being in a level playing field. The hope is that the release of 5.1 on the Note 4 in Q2/Q3 will fix or reduce the stutter when opening apps.
One particular one I find takes a while is YouTube. On the s6, it opens up a lot faster.
Watch this YouTube video. Granted it's comparison of s5 vs s6 but the Note 4 lollipop vs s6 lollipop will be up soon over the next few months once the s6 is released and the Note 4 has its lollipop release. The video shows the lag on the s5, which is almost certainly a snapdragon version, against the exynos s6.

youtube is broken by itself dont really say alot. but no doubt its faster than s5 there is a huge cpu difference. yes exynos note 4 is better rival for it. my note edge didnt get lollipop yet so i cant do a fair comparison but note 4 exynos on lollipop is very smooth no stutter etc.. and i think rollout for 910c started too its almost done.
snapdragon versions could need 5.1 update which fixed alot of performance problems for nexus 6 too. but we will see.
All I want is the 5x5 for stock ...

Lollipop is definitely faster than Kitkat for me.
It's also faster than the Note 3.
You are correct about the slow updates though.
Same thoughts as Nuu...besides the slow updates mine is smooth as on 5.01 =)
No complaints as all...cept maybe faster Multitask button....
same for me too lag in multitasking button, and laggy call screen and some bugs. without these its just great for me fast and reliable and good on battery too. performance is on par with my s6 edge and note 4 is way better in multitasking and ram management.

Agreed, but that's why CM12 exists: blazing fast and quick on the updates (currently on lollipop 5.1.1). Other option would be to sell the Note and buy the new LG G4 for example
You do know that you could just install a 3rd Party Launcher onto your Note 4? You don't have to stick with touchwiz.

If you don't care about the camera or s-pen, CM12 would be an option. The camera thing has always stopped me from using CM on my Note 4 and my S3. I nicely debloated TW based rom and a different launcher like Nova is what I always did. YMMV.
Stock touch wiz is pretty crappie I've not had the lag like you described but just not a huge touch wiz fan.
you can get a sped up launcher in the apps section which helps quite a bit and makes it as snappy as I can be. But as above you best bet is a 3rd party launcher.
Do some debloating or use Simplrom which is already heavily slimmed down And has very good speed.
and we have 12.1 in the pipeline which should be good also.
Don't write ya note 4 off yet

The samsung touchwiz cam is quite a nice *free* app and I understand some people might miss it. And it's definitely better than the CM stock camera app, I don't like that one too much neither, it's just too basic. But luckily there are some quite good 3rd party cam apps out there nowadays. My previous favourite was FV-5 camera, but I'm now really hooked on Snap Camera. You can download a trial in the playstore, see if you like it. Picture quality in TW using a 3rd party cam is always the same as in CM, so that's good way to judge if you like it.
And about S-pen, that works great in CM12, out of the box, including hovering. Sure, out of the box it's a bit less integrated into the system, but there are some really nice apps for it if you want some more integrated s-pen functionality, mimicking pretty much Touchwiz, including a similar s-pen popup menu and for example cropped screenshots. See the video here for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/app-app-samsung-devices-provided-stylus-t3000448 With this app you pretty much have the same S-pen functionality as Touchwiz.
Yes i can do that but the skin and the thing that kills the cpu is touchwiz which is in setting + dialer + snote + etc and all those cannot be changed by another launcher

Its wierd but ive been using nova for years. But stock tw launcher is faster than nova in 5.0 i noticed that on my friends phone. He had stock and i had nova but app opening response etc was faster on tw there is basically delay on nova. So i rolled back to tw
And i think slowdown problems could be about apps. Cuz i had wierd slowdowns on 1st update but boc3 totally fixed all problems for me like i said my problems are multitasking button delay(which exist on my s6 too i dont expect a fix for it), call screen delay and gpu bug other these its really a great update for me.

The Nexus probably has encryption enabled, which slows the device down. And is this an Exynos ? That device seems to respond faster in Touchwiz than the snapdragon.

Yes, it's the Exynos version, and if we active the Knox continues protection, doesn't change nothing, some users even reported that activing this feature improves the overall performance.

Touchwiz is laggy in places and this is not something that even surprises anyone anymore. Use a nexus 6 for a few days and come back to note 4, yea the lag can get to you at times. However its fine as an overall package and that's all that matters.

This is useful information which means there are *conditions* for the problem to show itself.

Is that even a conversation samsung itself knows that TW is laggy but the whole point of this just look at Sense UI on the old m7 i mean even its 3 years old but it feels faster than note 4 which has that fancy octa core processors. But you see the point is that it doesnt matter how many cores you have under the hood. Optimization is the key . if i have buggati veyron with flat tyres i would be outrun by a golf. Let me say again the whole point of this is to let samsung hear our plea and respond

It would be nice if they even gave us the choice of an AOSP rom with their camera and some TW functions. With a custom kernel and TW apps frozen, TW is fine and doesn't lag too much but to do this you need to root and invalidate your warranty.
OD2 build for 910G is blazing fast!! the way kitkat is meant to be .. the previous version boc6 was not up to the mark. Probably 910F and other users will feel the difference once u get OD series roms

I went from Nexus S --> Note 2 --> Note 4 Exynos
Each upgrade was excellent. The Note 2 was a great device with much development. Now, Note 4 Exynos is slowly getting there.
I encourage you to make this move.
The N4 screen is really amazing. QHD kicks ass. U didn't say what CPU version you may buy - each variant (Exynos vs Snapdragon) has pros & cons. Read up on the different modem capabilities. MY battery on Lollipop (newest build) gives me 5.5 hours on-screen time, lasts 2 full days.
SD card expansion
Good camera - slow motion, UHD video
xposed now available for deodexed ROMs

What do you mean? I think only versoin not able to root is from a particular American carrier ... your basic research before buying will avoid that piece of shi* ... you're on XDA - users here are more knowledgeable that an average consumer

Welcome to the Note 4 family~
Just go for it , don't hesitate. The first thing i did was to root mine. And with the necessary tweaks it works like a charm. Never had a real problem with root or custom recovery.
Wouldnt want to change it for any other device rigth now!
Just got it today and couldn't be happier! Still running off the stock charge out of the box with about 3 hours of sot even though most of it was setting up the device and downloading back my apps. I had my nexus 5 rooted since day 1 and want to see the performance of this device and battery life before rooting even though rooting has many benefits. Hope to get development support from here for the next 2 years of my contact and thanks for the warm welcome ?
I know the question is very generic, but I am just curious. Is there anything similar to Paranoid Android on the exynos Note 4?
No matter which one you install, it's still ****ty stock from Samsung. Buying Exynos version was my biggest mistake now I realize We have no CM/anything vanilla Android based ROM, and it doesn't seem as if we are going to get one in the near future. Galaxy Alpha with Exynos 5430 somehow got beta Resurrection Remix, we have nothing atm...
I regret buying a note 4 at the first place :/ should have opted for Nexus 6, but the battery on Nexus is messed up :/
Best ROM is stock rom, for now.

There are basically no other roms than slightly modified stock roms available. Personally I've been happy with Wanam's BOC5 (odexed).
wait until Note 5 comes
The one lesson I learnt was to not buy exynos variants. Running CM on my note 4 SD is simply amazing, insanely fast with no lag, running loads of apps will quickly switch between them. Compared to touchwiz (which I thought was fast), CM is like lightning.
Lesson learnt: don't buy exynos variants.

i didnt understand thers many exynos rom here why you guys says we dont have lolipop roms?
did i missed somthing?
Can't undestand why these person buy a Note 4 to install a fuc**ng Cyanogem/AOSP ROM..
You lost almost everything that makes Note 4 a Note 4. S-Pen, fingerprint reader, S-health functions, worse camera performance, functions (a lot of functions, like MultiWindow, PenWindow, Screen Write, Smart Select, etc...).
Why you guys didn't bought a Nexus 6 or Droid Turbo in the first place ?
Btw, a port of S6 ROM it's coming to N910C and things will be better. The best rom so far in my opinion is the SweetROM BOE3, but the SimplROM BOC5 it's awesome too;

Wouldn't an S6 rom also remove all of the features that make the note 4 unique? Also who's developing the port?

I do not use any of those function but I get better camera, a bit bigger battery and more power efficient CPU then Snapdragon 805 in Nexus,. Moreover, Note 4 is a bit smaller. At the same time I hate Touchwiz, lack of build-in permissions manager and I have to waste 1 hour after every re-flash to delete half of Samsung's apps from /system/app. Droid Turbo is not available in my country. These are reasons why I'm waiting for CM or AOSP.

My thoughts exactly. Perhaps Simplrom would be a better choice because it takes away all that crap but keeps all Note 4 functions intact.

No, the touchwiz base it's the same in all devices .. he has ported the Note 4 exclusive features .. s pen and her functions works as on stock note 4..
There is a page on Facebook: Glamour ROM .. he has released a video of 17 minutes showing the rom .. and looks faster as S6 .. with almost everything working ... it's was not released yet. Small bugs and fixes to do...

I can only speak for myself, but when I buy a phone, the most important thing for me is the display. There's just no competition for the Note 4 display, Nexus 6 doesn't cut it. As far as the s-pen, that's fully functional in CM, I barely use it though. S-health apps I consider as bloatware, I really rather not have them at all. Better camera, hmm in low light the stock cam out performs snap camera, in all other circumstances I prefer snap camera over stock cam, much more versatile and picture quality is equal usually (unless low light).
I guess people buy phones for different reasons though. But yeah, the moment Google comes with a great display screen I'll buy that for sure.
Just flash the latest kitkat rom, after that: root, debloat and install xposed.
That's all.

Actually the problem is that I love the hardware on the phone but in reality the performance is amazing on a stock flavor of Android
