Any potential Oreo port for the note 4 verizon?
I second that..... It's a great phone still and the last with a replaceable battery. Plus we're already unlocked and rooted.
Would like to bump this again.
The note 4 is very powerful and stacks up to the latest flagship phones in many performance areas, great display, great snapdragon processor, overall an awesome phone. Especially now with a unlocked bootloader and rooted, would be awesome to resurrect this phone and get Oreo.
Here's a spec comarison from the note 4 vs the google pixel.

Need my Oreo fix for my note 4
I hard bricked my of note 4 last year but it was such a great phone and with the removable battery I bought another note 4 and rooted it again the day I got it...
I have an Oreo rom working on my budget Moto g 2013 but not on my note 4
Cue judge Smails
Yes!!!

@maksimreder, give it time. I wouldn't be surprised if hsbadr comes up with a port. I think he would be our only hope, granted I don't see other ROM developers making a 7.0 ROM, maybe they just don't have the "know-how". Given what I've seen in terms of release schedules, if it does happen, I wouldn't count on it for maybe...a couple months, if it's gonna happen at all. HOPEFULLY, by the end of the year. I haven't followed, though. Is Android Oreo even complete? Has it been released and pre-installed on any new phones? I think we'd have to at least wait for that to happen, first if it hasn't, already.

Yeah thats fine, I just wished the 1k viewers that saw this thread would chime in and offer their support.
I'm sure Resurrection Remix will have Oreo very soon. Never understood why Lineage for the GN4 wasn't officially supported.
Well the biggest issue would be that 8.0 isn't supposed to have 32 but support but the nexus 5 and 6 both have Oreo ported to them so it should be possible hardware wise art least. I don't know enough about it to be sure, but I'd think lots of the nexus 6 changes could carry over to the note 4 considering they have nearly identical specs.
Would love to see an Oreo port for the Canadian Note 4.
Seriously Doubt this will happen, would be wonderful. There is a huge amount of work involved. A great Article is somewhere on here about making things work. From SHIMs to the Binaries. Qualcomm already said they wouldnt go back this far for drivers.. Honestly unless using a modded stock ROM this thing just doesnt work right on most ROMs. I will keep in the drawer as a backup, just ordered a N8 unlocked. Couldnt resist it at 650$ w/ free Dex & WiFi Charger via their app.
Well, I found a whole lotta nothing. But hey, here's a page that says the link was removed but will be re-added shortly. I'll believe it when i see it, but if you want to see it, here it is: http://rootmygalaxy.net/lineage-os-15-on-samsung-galaxy-note-4/
I suspect someone will post a link to an Android 8.0 ROM in these forums sooner or later. From what I understand, Android Oreo is the first ROM to not have a 32-bit version, which has probably hampered efforts.
Hi Guys just wanted to say I hope we get 8.0

I have an Oreo ROM on my Nexus 6, and I would love to have Oreo on my Note 4 also.
That said, I get 2.5 days of light use of my Note 4 with a NEW battery when running MOROM... 1.5 days typical use. can kill the battery in a bit over 6 hours if I really try.. (full brightness screen, no screen timeout, BT and WIFI tethering data to my Android car stereo, while streaming audio)
I would think ambient display would help a lot. Any way to keep the display as much black as is possible reduces power consumption tremendously. Being able to reject calls from a locked screen (98% black) instead of lighting it up more helps. Love Oreo based 6ROM on my Nexus 6. no downsides.
+1
I also would like to see this with S-PEN functionally working with the Oreo 8.1 on the Note4 that would be entirely epic I have five Note4's laying here all with there own problems. I'm not joking. all of them are just sitting here I have to buy batteries for etc. besides the Note4 I believe might very well be the last smartphone to ever possess the infrared beaming for remote control for your home fireplaces TVs air conditioners etc. and like others have mentioned to boot removable battery the most important thing.

Not sure if this has been answered already, and Im very appreciative of all devs here on XDA, but ive been holding of buying this tablet because as I love samsung's HW, touchwiz is a big nono, and such a flagship does surely deserve a CM11 or AOSP support....the question is whether work has begun or not.
Cheers and thanks y'all
A CM11 port already exists. Don't hope for anything officially of course.

Which one? The T-700 or T-800? There's a mostly working CM ROM for the T-700, the T-800 has a port of that and most things work. I fear it's going to be a while, if ever, that we get a fully working AOSP ROM for the T-800.

and im interested in the T-800 btw
I took a gamble on getting the 10.5 and it has been a pretty mediocre experience so far. There is an awesome AOSP Rom (which may be CM11 now) for the T700, but nothing for the T800 lately, it seems to be dead in the water. Suzook took the time to port it for us T800 users, but something he was doing was against the rules on XDA so that shut it down
Using ThunderRom now, but TouchWiz ruins the device for me. Also battery is pretty bad.
It is still an ok tablet but I am curious to see what will become of development on Samsung products since they are starting to use non Snapdragon chipsets on certian products now.

thats the reason why im holding back. I work at an electronics store and tried the tablet a few times....the software is so bloated and all those pseudo-magazine fx stuff they got going on is def not working. I really dont like how they change the overall feel of android, like placing the apps button on the bottom right, maybe intuetive but having spent 3 yrs on a CM rom, you get used to certain stuff. Also, with all this dev in HW, and touchwiz still feeling laggy, i dont see why sammy is continuing down this path
Just run Nova launcher then. No big deal.

And it's pretty obvious it's not just about the launcher. Touchwiz permeates the entire OS in a way that stinks up and clogs up EVERYTHING.

They have been using Exynos in the past way before they caved in to Snapdragon temporarily.
My guess is they're looking to squeeze more profits by using their own SOCs.

Apparently CM doesn't like Exynos processors, which the 10.5 has, so there aren't any official CM builds just ported ROMs. It's completely possible to get CM on the 10.5, as we've seen, we just need a dedicated and knowledgeable developer to work on getting the ROM to work 100%.
At least we have root to stop or remove the crap we don't need until an overrated or fix this and break that rom comes along....until then root, pull out what you don't want, and slap Nova on it.

That is a crutch that gives you the placebo effect of making it way faster. Bottom line it is TouchWiz that bogs this down, so until a true AOSP or CM comes out, you won't will see a major improvement.
It looks like dev is never going to happen for this tablet.

What's your favorite ROM today and why? Which ones have you tried and why are you on your current one vs another and do you think you you may switch back to another?
My personal experience:
CM 13 - I've tried a few versions, all seem a little buggy for one reason or another. It's been awhile so I don't remember what I had problems with.
I'm currently on PaulPizz, not the latest 8/14 version, but the one before that (7/24??).
I'm curious about the Note7 Grace port and what it brings to the table vs PaulPizz, and if it's actually buggy or not.

Note 7 Grace port is my favorite so far. It lets you experience the most recent version of touchwiz. and it has a working theme store. After using similar S7 ports based on the international version of the Note 4, the Note7 Grace port in my opinion is the best option we have for our phone.
As for the comparison I would say PaulPizz is more stable and gets a better battery life. Can't go wrong.
Note 7 Grace port has the newest version of Touchwiz, including theme store, and can be used as a daily driver. For me the only thing to be desired is a better battery life.
I haven't tried CM13 because I can't lose my SPen features.

I have to cast my vote for JasmineROM v7.0
IMO it's the cleanest and most stable TW ROM. I'd love to see an update (it's been over 2 months, let's get those security patches updated!), but it's extremely stable. It's not debloated, but @hsbadr wisely chose to leave that to the user, as everyone's needs/wants are different.
I know he's focusing on the CM base these days, but, IMO, there are (and I feel, for Sammy devices, always will be) things that CM doesn't do as well as TW. I've tried CM ROMs over the years many times, and have found ways to use the SPen, etc. but always come back to TW. The only exception I've found to date is on the 6P with Pure Nexus, but I am not sure I'd feel the same way if that device also had an SPen.
For me, at the end of the day, the most important thing a mobile phone must do consistently and reliably, is be a phone. I can't risk hot booting or freezing, or having other call/contact/record features not function 100% reliably, and solid reliability is definitely something Jasmine delivers.
I noticed that on PaulPizz, after several minutes of usage, Snapchat, specifically, my screen is hot and I get a cooling down message in my notification area. I'm not on the latest PaulPizz, I think the date is 7/24, not sure if that makes a difference or not. But, is this problem related to the ROM, Snapchat or just overusing my phone?

One way to know for sure if it's the ROM - make a full TWRP and flash JasmineROM v7.0 - set it up and let it shake out for the first day, then see if by the second day you're still seeing the same thermal issue. I can say I use my phone quite a bit and it only ever gets really hot if I clear cache and it goes through 10 minutes of "optimizing", but I've never once seen a notification about cooling down.
Bonus: You may decide you really like Jasmine and wind up sticking with that. Make a full backup after you configure it, then you could switch back and forth at will.

No, I did read the OPs for both and saw some known issues, which speaks to the reliability/robustness I cited above. Maybe some or all of those issues are worked out now, don't know? But, I'm very happy on JasmineROM, and I have next to zero time to experiment. I can say on my Nexus 6P, I am absolutely loving the PureNexus ROM with substratum for theming. The Nexus 6P is a fine device, much faster than the Note4 (as is my wife's Note 5) but, the Note 4 has a better screen, and of course, the SPen, and I'm still one to really want/require a removable battery. I've come around to the absence of a microSD slot (the 6P doesn't have one), because with USB C and OTG, it's just as good. I'd love the Note 7, but, putting aside the insane cost, has no removable battery, I'm not sold on the gimmicky edge, and, even though perm root was just achieved, still no unlock for the bootloader, so no TWRP [yet?]
That all said, maybe the fall's new Google phones (HTC) will be promising (New Android Central story says Google is dropping the Nexus branding)
cm13 is all I've used since I rooted, and I'm very happy with it. I don't get why someone would prefer touchwiz unless they reallllyyy need full s-pen functionality. am I missing something?
Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk
I tried Grace and pauls and they are nice but i went back to CM13.. not a giant fan of near stock roms with verizon stuff still in them since i don't use verizon.
I just rooted my Verizon Note 4 a few days ago. Still going through the process of setting up stock 5.1.1 the way I want it so I can make a backup of it before I mess around with ROMs and Kernels. What's the best ROM/Kernel that will let me make use of the S pen and Note 4 capabilities? I heard about a note 7 ROM but it's a little overwhelming with all the options out there. I just need a good place to start. Right now I have a system only 5.1.1 firmware and oscar_kernel-v2.0 running on my newly rooted note 4.

Just FYI, you need to basically do the process twice. Once you've unlocked to 5.1.1, find the safe upgrade to MM thread. You will need to unlock again. If you dont, then MM ROMS won't function correctly. I'm on mobile right now, but look in the same forum as the other ROMS, I believe.

Hi guys, for those running TW based roms - what options do I have for themes? I have issues with my vision and can't tolerate white backgrounds. I use CM based roms primarily to get white text on solid black themes.
For apps I know I can use TBO
in the past I've installed Layers Manager and only applied themes to apps which worked ok
I've tried one or two TW based LP roms on my SM-910F but flashable themes don't seem to work and I haven't seen how well the ported Note 5/6/7 roms work with Samsung's theme store and I doubt they apply their themes to other apps like Layers can?
At the moment I have a pretty solid setup with CM12.1 and themes and it's eye friendly but I'm hoping if someone here might have a TW based rom that's fully or almost fully white on black
Stock VZW/Samsung Marshmallow rom. I needed 100% stability, no faffing about to get it running and configured, for GearVR.
Jasmine was the closest thing to what I needed, but too much fiddling - even J6.0/Android5.1.1 was too much work to deal with.

I've been using Android since 1.6 Donut on an HTC Magic. I got a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant on release day and fell in love with Touchwiz instantly. I tried a couple of different devices since (HTC myTouch 4G Slide, LG Optimus G Pro) but I always came back to Samsung. My most recent non-Sammy was the Droid Turbo 2 - I loved the hardware, but I hated the software overall. I am not a fan of Google's version of Android. I pick Samsung phones because of the combination of hardware and software. TW/Nature/Grace does so many things right for me. Google Android doesn't. Everybody has different preferences. Touchwiz just works for me.
So, I decided to root my Pixel 3XL and jump back into custom ROM's I haven't done it for years. What ROM currently available it the closest to plain AOSP without too many extrase, that has the most development? strange request, I know, but I would like to have the most pure AOSP ROM I can find.

AOiSP is pretty nice and DU is good too. But the 1st is closer to what you are looking for and both are updated regularly. DU (Dirty Unicorns) you will have to google. I haven't tried the others but from the descriptions they are the most I was interested in.
Shockingly, it seems the ROM scene is nearly dead, which is sad Right now, there's what 5 ROM's or less for the Pixel 3 XL ? This is Google's flagship top of the line device, there used to be dozens of ROM's for the Nexus phones back in the day. Really bums me out how the smartphone scene has died off in regards to rooting and ROM'ing, and don't even get me started on the DEAD Jailbreak scene too, JB's are practically done for iPhone's, which those phone desperately need, as stock iOS is pure sh!tt.
What happened to the good old days, of buying a T-Mobile Note II, or a AT&T S4 and rooting and ROM'ing the same day you unpackaged it.
I have found that in the end, I go back to stock rooted. The custom ROMs are basically stock, with a few other customization options added.

I used to try just about any and every ROM that came along, but stock Android has evolved to the point that I'm quite happy with it. As long as I can root for Substratum, Pie, and Adaway that's pretty much all I need. Plus, all the stock features work as well. i.e the charging stand, etc.

Since you haven't installed a Custom ROM in "years". this guide might help: [Guide] Pixel 3 XL Android 9.0 (Pie) Unlock/Root/Install Images/Kernels/Recovery + by homeboy76

The goods old days... However, at a time when most devices can't even be rooted or unlocked anymore, having root and a few ROMs is all we can hope for. Coming from a locked down tmo Samsung Note 8 this is a dream to me.

So, I decided to root my Pixel 3XL and jump back into custom ROM's I haven't done it for years. What ROM currently available it the closest to plain AOSP without too many extrase, that has the most development? strange request, I know, but I would like to have the most pure AOSP ROM I can find.

Shockingly, it seems the ROM scene is nearly dead, which is sad Right now, there's what 5 ROM's or less for the Pixel 3 XL ? This is Google's flagship top of the line device, there used to be dozens of ROM's for the Nexus phones back in the day. Really bums me out how the smartphone scene has died off in regards to rooting and ROM'ing, and don't even get me started on the DEAD Jailbreak scene too, JB's are practically done for iPhone's, which those phone desperately need, as stock iOS is pure sh!tt.
What happened to the good old days, of buying a T-Mobile Note II, or a AT&T S4 and rooting and ROM'ing the same day you unpackaged it.

Im not bias to either platform, Jailbreaking is still alive, and stock iOS is actually pretty rock solid. it's very stable and runs smoother than android. I own both phones, I can tell you from experience that iOS is much more polished than pie.

iOS is a train wreck especially the notifications. compared to Pie, using it is like trying to run under water.

Totally agree. I like Apple's hardware, they make and design a beautiful looking smartphone with great hardware, but iOS ugh
no back button, notifications suck, no dark mode, widgets suck, the same grid full of app icons, like from 2007, that still in 2019, 12 years later, you are not allowed to move and place anywhere on the screen you would like. A phone call comes in, and takes up the entire screen, kicking you out of what you were doing. Still no T9 dialer. No AoD ( Always on Display )

I agree that Apples chip set that they have in the iPhone is miles ahead of the Snap Dragon. You are also right the software is stuck in time. It really hasn't changed much since the first iPhone.

Not sure if you saw the XDA article that Android Q may replace the back button with a gesture.

Yeah, mine too. I just realized I typed a smile instead of a frown. Fixed now.
I get rid of the stock buttons anyway. With Pie I get the traditional buttons at the touch of my finger.
Same story every year for the Hong Kong variant! The same thing happened to my SM-G9650 with Android Pie.
Patience young one, it will come and you'll probably get a better initial experience than everyone else.
I'm not too bummed yet because I hear Good Lock hasn't been updated for 10 which would stop me from updating anyway. But once that happens...
I just ordered a N9750 coming from the Oneplus 7 pro which runs 10, not happy

Just out of interest, which features of Android 10 are you going to miss by temporarily going back to Android 9?

number one for sure would be the gesture navigation - it is absolutely the best, the samsung one is just rubbish. ALso music controller and scribbling through the playing audio directly from the notification shade although im not sure if thats a oneplus feature or android 10. Im sure there will be a lot of other things il miss that i dont know yet!
First versions in major updates always come out with some bugs, For me, It is better to update when all wrinkles have been ironed out
Do the users the device is intended for actual card about Android 10?
Serious question.

I'm not dying too get it, but I am looking forward to the faster sharing menu, native dark mode and the potential for a Samsung Pay issue I'm having to get resolved. That, and I'm hoping the camera's aggressive noise reduction is itself reduced, lol.

I'd say the average Note10+ buyer is probably fairly interested in the version of Android it's running, yes. They are someone that is probably expecting one of the best Android experiences possible, especially when you consider the cost of the handsets.
Does anybody know if they fixed the ps4 dualshock 4 pairing with Android 10? That's 1 of the reasons of the update I want and gestures.

Are you a Samsung UI launcher person? If so, you're in luck as that's the only launcher the new gestures support.
Yes all I have to do is apply the update. I use this phone mostly for gaming and a few months ago someone posted that the dualshock 4 pairing would be fixed with Android 10 I just want a conformation on that b4 I start downloading. I'm still on release firmware in hopes for root but if I can use my ps4 controller I would gladly update
Is it maybe possible to flash other snapdragon rom on this n9750 version?
Nevermind I gonna sell this peace of garbage

Yes me to today, finally :good:
Only 1 thing the notification ring on the top does not bling when s an your eyes for faceunlock
Can the Note 10+ Hong Kong get flashed with stock Android 10 ROM from another region and get it done that way? And what about root? Can it be rooted afterwards again under Android 10 or not?
The truth of the matter is I see zero benefits on an upgrade. Android 9 works flawlessly on my rooted 10 Plus and there isn't anything on Android 10 that I already can't do with my Android 9 firmware. I never quite understand this "upgrade" rush everyone seems to have..
Heck.. I'm still on Android 8 on my Note 8 and everything works flawlessly with all my apps and setting such as on my newer Note 10+. THE ONLY thing about my Note 8 that needs an "upgrade" is the p...e-of-s..t AMOLED display that is burnt in everywhere.. and no firmware will fix that.
Gosh I miss LCDs.. Samsung AMOLED panels ALL last less than a couple months before they start burning in.. all of them.

I also do not understand people who want to move as quickly as possible to a new version of Android, it is better to wait for bug fixes.
if you consider that fixing security vulnerabilities is useless, yes you can stay on android 8

I have my Note 10+ more than 3 months and the screen has nothing. I did not have burns on the screen of my Note 2, which I had for more than 4 years ?
Just received official Global miui 12 update. Did you guys too?
Tip: I did factory reset after miui 12 update & most of my bugs got fixed, make sure to make backup first if guys are doing that
I still didnt received miui 12 on my note 8 pro.. Im from Europe maybe it takes longer
Have you installed it yet? Does it lag?

I had checked received early updates option under update settings, just for the info:
I got my device 2 months ago and it is very snappy. I have no interest in having it become irreversibly laggy because of a major update.
I would love to hear if anybody had applied the update yet and if it slows the phone down.
If it does I will not update-- I'd rather have a snappy phone than one with the latest bells and whistles but sluggish!

Then you might have to wait for the comments of few more people & yes i have noticed little bit lag, & also my chrome is lagging for some reason & i am not sure it's because of my 4g internet or my browser, just received update two hours ago

Just got the OTA, will install it asap.
I'm in Europe
I have just received the update (12.0.2) today. I'm from Chile, i have the global version, and it's been pretty good my phone. Pretty fast, new features quite good.
'll keep u in touch
Thanks, I will wait!
I've had this happen to me with previous phones. It's hard to resist the impulse to update, but sometimes it's really a big mistake.

Im from Europe, but i install global version over twrp, for me, everything works just fine, without lag for now, and one big plus, camera is way way beter now.
I'm also of course curious if some of the issues with the previous version (BT/Wifi interference, etc) are resolved

Are you saying you installed the downloaded zip file over TWRP? Or did you take the OTA file? I'm wondering because I have TWRP and Magisk installed. I've been notified for the OTA update, but I've also already downloaded the stock ROM.

Don't update. It looks nice, have some cool features, camera is better, but it feels like it is not the same phone anymore. It lags, some animations are perfect, but many are not. Icons animation is ugly for me, text size is also not OK for me, some is bold and some is not...
The best firmware was Android 9, all after that is worse and worse.
Btw I did factory reset after I updated, like I always do after major update...
Thanks!!
So glad I checked with you guys!
I noticed the slight slowdown also between A9 and a10 within MIUI 11 itself.
Still fast, but an ever so slight lag that wasn't there before.
I assume there is no way to revert to MIUI 11 without unlocking the device....
I'll pass!

This whole episode makes a good argument for unlocking and rooting. Even though I have avoided doing that since I had my Nexus phone, it would seem that this is the only way to prevent your phone from becoming obsolete.
The RN8P is not an old phone and its such a shame that Xiaomi would release an update that would degrade the performance so much...and not give regular users the option of reverting....but then again, I have seen this happen on my previous phones too.
My previous phone was an LG G6, a flagship from a few years ago. When new it came installed with A6, and by the last update was A9, which literally made the device unusable.
Manufacturers are in a dilemma, because on one hand power users demand updates for the latest versions, yet inevitably these newer updated versions use more resources and aren't optimized as well for a legacy device.
At the very least the manufacturers should provide an easy method of downgrading.

I really do not know why Xiaomi doesn't offer official method to rollback as Huawei does via PC Suite.
I am about to unlock my bootloader, but I am not sure what to do next, as all of these tutorials are so confusing.
I think I have to root then, and no idea what comes next...
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Yes it is confusing, Xiaomi does not make it easy to root, I suggest you submit your questions for guidance on unlocking in one of the dedicated threads
