Sixperience N5 1.0 Review​

Android Version: Android 5.1.1 Lollipop Base

Build: N910CXXU1COH4 - Note 4

N920CXXU1AOH6 - Note 5

Design. 9/10, 8/10 for the perfect eye user.​

Sixperience N5, as you expected, is a ported Note5 rom. This means that every single bit of N5 Touchwiz is 100% ported to the Note 4. Every animation (even Screen on/Screen off ones), every image, every single color are pretty much the same as the fifth Note itineration. There're some graphic glitches though; for example the Date in the lockscreen is centered while the Clock is aligned to the left. Other than that it's really complete! I'm just missing the ability to resize the one handed operation screen mode, this has nothing to do with the ported rom, it's just the same as the Note 5, seems that Samsung decided to cut off that feature. You can downscale the screen to a small portion, but you can't resize it at your own.

Performance: 10/10 for a normal user, 8/10 for the OCD user.​

If you're coming from 5.0.1 (Stock or GlamourROM), this rom definetly is for you. My device came with Kitkat 4.4.4, the battery life was incredible, the performance was (somewhat) great, everything seemed to run fine. Then, after the 5.0.1 update, I felt that my Note 4 turned into an S3. Battery was poor, performance was worse than ever, games had H-Sync glitches (half part of the screen had like 0.5 sec delay) and the freaking multitasking button took like 5 sec to open the card stack. Now that's based on 5.1.1 the change is radical: performance is greatly improved (52k in antutu), battery life seems to be A LOT better, and the lag in multitask menu is gone! The new bootloader fixed the laggy bootanimation, and the device boots in less than 15 sec (without Xposed). Also I didn't experienced any lag or screen freeze like in GlamourROM.

Stability: 8/10​

Let's face it, even stock rom isn't stable at all, so 8/10 doesn't means less stable than stock. There're some FCs in particular scenarios: The N5 camera app has FCs when using PRO mode since our device doesn't have Camera2 API. Just use auto mode and touch to focus and everything will be just fine. I'm noticing lags BETWEEN taking photos (means that if you take a photo, you need to wait 1 sec to take other). Solution? Use the older N4 camera app or a third party one. Direct Pen Imput also force-closes while trying to write. It's not deal breaker to me since it's kind of useless. Keyboard works great, but some peope says that causes force closes too.

Battery life: Not tested yet but SFSG (So far so good)​

I've installed it yesterday's night and now it's on 62% without a single charge more than 10 minutes USB plugged in my PC. IDK if it has anything to do with the ported rom or the stock 5.1.1 base, but its better than 5.0.1 for sure.

Average: 8.75 - 9! :good:​

Conclusion: The rom is pretty much complete and it could work as daily driver without any problem, even fingerprint works! Yay! And considering that this is a BETA1 release, the dev did a really great work with this masterpiece. I would consider a new logo for it, a bit flatter with Samsung own colors, I had to replace the Sixperience logo in "About Phone" with a generic Note 4 logo because It looked kinda ugly but don't worry, the Sixperience icon in ROM Info remains unchanged :good: . So, If you didn't downloaded it, what are you waiting for? Come on! Your Note 4 will have a new glimpse of life!

​

Nope, you need to install BL and Modem before/after installing this rom.
