Hi Guys ! Is somebody already trying to boot Cyanogenmod ? I'm a reverse engineer, have done quite a bit of development work on CM11 for the S4 I9500 and just ordered my Note 4 snapdragon and planning to run and optimize CM12 on our Snapdragon Note 4

Yes, I'm hoping more developers will switch to this device and will start working on booting and running CM as smooth as possible. I just ordered my note 4 yesterday, I still have to wait 2 weeks to receive my device (I don't live in a snapdragon country), hoping to work together with some other devs but if not, going to give booting CM myself a try and will update and report here for sure !
I'm new to the Note line so I have a question. Does the S-Pen work (just work, non of the fancy features) with custom Roms or do devs need to optimize it?
I would love to see it running Lollipop.
Patience... is the key. It will happen.

The spen will work on any rom but samsung specific apps like snote will only work on samsung based roms. On cm based roms there are alternative apps like papyrus and on the note 2 there were specific spen apps made for cm roms so guess the same thing will probably happen on the n4

"This forum is intended for XDA members to find or discuss development on the Galaxy Note 4, including ROMs, kernels, rooting, mods and much more, specifically for the Qualcomm Snapdragon variant of the Note 4."
Sounds like the right place to me.
Anyway on topic: here's the general porting method: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro and here the samsung code: http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=910f
Unfortunately going by what Samsung released previously, we'll need code directly from Qualcomm, did anybody find chipset code for the 805 already ?
And here's the Lollipop Nexus 6 (of course also running snapdragon 805) code:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-lollipop-source-pushed-to-aosp/
Oh and also found this thread, should be helpful to get a start: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532873
Anyway, getting my device in 2 weeks, hopefully around that time CM12 will be released too, mabye we should wait for that anyway, but I wanted to start this thread already to function as a knowledge sharing thread regarding getting cyanogenmod running on the Note 4. Going to do some digging in the sources codes already and see what's there and what's missing.

Sorry but I really miss your point man. This is development and most importantly, this is Snapdragon: this thread has really not much to do with Exynos (which most likely will never even run CM12, at least not in the next year), so I really don't see in which forum it would be more ontopic than this one. If you disagree, let me know in which forum you feel it should be posted in and why and if it makes sense, I'll ask the mod, but again, I really don't see it.

Wow, that's really wonderful news, you made my day man, thanks !!! :good: :fingers-crossed: Can't wait to flash it (need to wait 2 weeks to get my hands on the device though, damn, hehe). I've done quite a bit of work on the i9500, Ironing out bugs by reverse engineering stock ROM and my goal is to make CM12 on our Note 4 the best Cyanogenmod experience so far ! Man, really cant wait !
I just got mine yeaterday im super excited. I'm really surprised how steady it feels in hands. It doesn't feel like a Samsung device at all. My babe is already rooted and unlocked just waiting on lollipop

Pointless thread in developer forum. Can't wait to see this closed. What is become of xda that anyone can post what he likes and where he wants.
Okay first of all, I have only made one ROM ever, so I am not the brightest on this subject. My question though is for a Dev that is fairly smart. Would it be possible for those itching to have lollipop on their Note 4, but who don't want to lose Touchwiz features, to install the international Note 3 5.0 ROM on their Note 4 if a Dev would port it. If its possible why hasn't some talented dev( because there are several here) ported it yet. I know the structure would be a little different, but I'm thinking it would be entirely possible to port it with some tinkering. Just let me know if I am way off base or if this would be something to really look at.
why would anyone bother trying to port the note 3 version, when the actual Note 4 version will be here any day?
anyone anxious to try lollipop has several AOSP type roms to try, so waiting for the TW version is no big deal at this point

Because no one really knows when the note 4 version will be here, as far as I know. Also I'm just going by the sheer volume of Roms available, I would think a correct Note 3 port would have been highly popular. Honestly AOSP Roms just won't work for a lot of Samsung fans, someone who wants to take full advantage of their Gear watch, or other samsung products linked to Touchwiz enabled devices.
good points; I guess since the "promise" of official Samsung lolli has been out there for so long, the folks who want an official Samsung 5.0 are holding out for it; you never know if a "ported" version will have all the features that the Samsung die hard fans want in their Samsung roms, so that might be part of it..
its gotta show up soon, and its insulting to the folks who own the top Samsung phone on the market that they aren't/weren't the first ones to get this on their note 4's..
Its blunders like this that will eventually cost Samsung their leadership in the cell phone world, if it hasn't already..
Most people will just wait. Porting over a waste of time for devs. Now if they knew 5.0 would never come then that is a different story.

But we never really know when it will be here, it could be November. The sad fact is the Note 5 may be out by the time Samsung gets it done, and the carriers finish adding bloat, and finally decide its time to release it. Even if you are just waiting for the international version to release, we have no clue when that may be.

Yeah this is pretty crazy how Ironic it must be nice.I just hope when we get it for the note 4 it was worth the wait.

The reason that nothing has been ported to this device is we need the kernel gods to do their thing. Any day now. Kernel is the issue for us right now.
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?

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!

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

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.

Anyone work atm on a port of TWRP for Note 8? I cannot wait anymore for a custom rom hehe
Can we use the twrp from S8??
I think its the same hardware. Only more RAM.
Why would you want it on a note? If you want to root and run other os, get a s8+. Wouldn't the s pen become a paperweight?

TWRP is a recovery image and a direct S8 TWRP port wouldn't affect the operating skin, so no S-Pen functionality would be lost.
But twrp don't give root.. I say let start a bounty

I think you've either misunderstood the question or don't understand the concept.
TWRP doesn't affect the OS at all but you can use TWRP to install a customised version of the OS that has more features, less bloat and still keeps all of the functionality of the official OS.
Before I had to move to a Lineage OS based ROM on my Note 3, I used ROMs that were based on Samsung firmware and the S-pen worked just fine.

I guess I've just been relatively happy with touch wiz so I never considered going that route. The last phone I ran a diff OS on was the n3 or n4.
My only complaints would be I'd like to be able to download torrents right to the sd card, and for them to fix the vpn bug.

If the stock software suits you, that's all good. But you have to understand that it doesn't suit everyone and many people want to have more control over how their device looks and behaves based on their needs and personal preferences.
I'll probably keep my Note 8 stock until I either get fed up with TouchWiz or some fancy custom ROM catches my eye, but even then, I'll probably root it and install TWRP as soon as the opportunity arrives.

I could not agree more. Every new phone I buy I don't expect a BL unlock. Especially Samsung. I expect someone will come up with a root method for the Note 8 eventually but if not, I'm still happy with my Note 8. I still have my unlocked Pixel XL to play with for ROM testing etc. I just wish Samsung would push Oreo out. I was in the beta and I think Oreo is much better than Nougat. I know it will likely be a month or more before we see it on the Note 8.

TWRP should be literally around the corner. Release date is this week, so TWRP and ROOT should be very close. ONLY FOR N950F and N950FD versions, EXYNOS. Snapdragon or USA or Canada variants are out of luck, just like the S8 snapdragons.

This sound great. Many thanks for your info.
Do you have a link there we can check the availability of TWRP and/or Root for N950F/FD?
Or can you post an update here then it is available?

Wait 4 thread in Rom development hope twrp comes soon
Every phone I have had with a locked boot loader has gotten root eventually. Someone will get it running. Be patient the phone has not even official been released.

What about my 950N? I'd hope that development for the European models would work on all the Exynos variants...

Well im on Sprint, and I'm not stupid enough to spend $1000+ on a phone I can't get insurance on and switch carriers too. Voiding warranty I can care less about cause I always rooted n romed right away, but no insurance......hell no. Root will be good enough when it eventually comes long. Also I like SD chips over Exynos anyways. What we need is more of the old school devs back. The Chad Goodman's of xda. I wish Samsung would offer an unlock code that we would agree voiding warranty too like HTC did before.
