[MENTION=7558606]viewsfromthepi[/MENTION] makes a good point on the Android versions underpinning each type.

In addition I'd say that what's "better" is often is often in the eye of the beholder. Personally I prefer the AOSP-type ROMs now that LineageOS is as good and stable as it is on Note 4 (and I have preferred it for some time). My preference pre-dates CM/LOS 14/14.1, but I did try some of the Samsung-based ROMs at a point last year to check out what the situation was - including a couple of Note 7 ROMs. They are also very nice, however it is worth noting (pun unintended :D) that some (all?) Note 7 ports have certain issues as well due to hardware differences in the N7 to the N4. For example, when I tried it, fingerprint didn't work (there was some elaborate workaround that apparently worked, which I didn't try, which included temporarily replacing the N7 system settings app with the N4 to register the fingerprint, then restoring the N7 settings app). So in that way the N7 ROM ports were a bit like AOSP on the N4 - while most things work, some things don't (at all, or as well). It's been a while now though so I don't know what the situation is these days.

So it comes down to a matter of taste. Do you like Samsung/TouchWizh-based ROMs that stay close to Samsung's stock experience? Or do you prefer an experience closer to Google/Android stock that AOSP-based ROMs give? If you're still deciding I'd recommend trying both types to see which one works best for you and which one you like the best. Most people in this thread will for obvious reasons prefer and recommend LineageOS as that's what we're typically using on a daily basis.

[MENTION=6005084]ripee[/MENTION] explained that previously, the date of the file name is determined when the build started, which could be before midnight, so the actual date it was posted is the date to go by
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ripee:
Regular boot animation is coming back early!

Like an idiot, it took me until today to remember that I had a backup of my virtual disk from last week that contains the original bootanimation.tar file. I'll rebuild this evening to see if manually reverting actually works, if so we'll be back to normal as soon as this evening's builds finish.

[MENTION=1321727]mx-5driver[/MENTION], build date stamps are triggered relative to midnight GMT. Because I'm in GMT+2 (daylight savings time), I'd have to stay up past 2 AM for my builds to register the next day's date. This is the case for the first build in my script as the others generally start compiling after 2 AM.

In short, I went to bed early :D

Anyway, for my trlte builds, I repo sync --force-sync before the first trlte build and I don't sync again before the other 2 so that all 3 share the same community commits. In case something breaks, it's easier to identify whether a community commit is the reason or something from a device tree or updated vendor blobs, etc. My build script compiles trltexx, trltetmo, and trltespr in that order. I base this order on the fact that I have a trltexx myself and in decreasing popularity among Lineage users based on the cross-compatibility of each variant, ie. tmo runs on can, spr on usc. In reality, if my overnight builds run without a hitch, I upload everything together anyway so they appear on AFH together.

On a related note, I reduced the total number of devices for which I build to my own, plus their variants that take little more time to compile given the common repos among them, and those used by my family and friends. In theory I'd be willing to build for any device with a working device tree, kernel, and blobs, upon request, but I'd have no way of testing those builds. Speaking of device trees, if anyone can find or make one for trltevzw, I'd try a build.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] RomyRodriguez:
thank you for your input in this matter, i have always loved AOSP Roms rather than using any OEM skin version of android, i have had alot of nexus devices until the 6p then i sold it and purchase a cheaper device and got some money back, so even though i did try a note 7 Rom which is refreshing for samsung in my oppinion, i wanted to know if LOS was more stable and now suitable for the note 4 at this point in time, so far i can say that everything works as expected, the only thing is that the battery drains a bit faster, that's something i have tested carefuly not even using all of my apps in LOS to have a fair point of view, thank u bro i appreaciate your input once again.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] d0ug:
I honestly like the AOSP/CM/Lineage ROMs. I like having a clean base to work from and then customize as I like, rather than take the customization that someone else choose.

Personally I never tried the Note7 ROM, never really been one for the Touchwiz ROMs. And for the Note 7 based ROMs, since the hardware is recalled those always seemed like a dead end to me. There will be no more updates to that base, so you're going to be stuck with whatever people can Frankenstein together to make updates to that ROM base.

Hi [MENTION=6005084]ripee[/MENTION] ! I`m on Build 04/04 Build on First N910F and 06/04 Build on Second N910F found an Issue on Both that I got never before in other Builds.

I have Fingerprint Configured, and it Works Fine. Lockscreen Unlock Works with Fingerprint and the Alternative Unlockpassword.

When Device is Connected with BT to Headset or my BT Soundsystem, Fingerprint and Password Unlock is not Active! Please Take a Lock on that! :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Incarniac:
'Not active' as in not working and you can't unlock, or as in your can unlock without requiring finger print or password? If the latter, have you got Smart Lock set up with your bluetooth devices added to Trusted Devices? You can find that in Settings -> Security -> Smart Lock. I've set my car BT up like this so I don't have to unlock the phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] SUREFACE:
I can Unlock my Device Only when BT is Turned Off with Fingerprint and Password.

With BT Unlock is not Active ! I can Unlock my Device with Swipe.

When BT Turned off again, The Fingerprint and Password Unlock is their!

At the Moment I make an Clean Install on Both Devices again. Will see if this Issue stay again or is Gone!

I Report Later! :)

Thanks to your Work the current ROM works really very stable & to me unfortunately it is not transparent on what the remaining Roadblocks are ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] d0ug:
I don't think this snapchat issue has anything to do with root. It appears there is an issue with snapchat and the LineageOS roms. I saw a post some weeks back where people were able to successfully get it working by making a backup of the app and data with something like Titanium backup from a ROM where it worked, then restoring that backup into LineageOS.

Fingerprint Sensor works on N910F!

The Configuration Himself is a Littlebit Hard.

When You Config Fingerprint, Did the Scan of Your Finger again and again. When the Scan will be accepted You feel a short Vibration,

Spend a Littlebit Time to Configure it! Thats all! Fingerprint works. I can Unlock Lockscreen and Login into PayPal and some other Apps with Integrated Fingerprint-Option. :)

Anyone have issues where The os won't load if battery percentage is lower than 20 or 10% ? Recovery TWRP still works at low percentage.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Incarniac:
I used to have this, and looking around indicated it's an issue with the battery - that is, its starting to go faulty. Mine would simply shut down at any random point below 20%, and once that happened it wouldn't boot back up again (it would try but cut out during the boot process).

After a while of that I got a new battery (Anker) and since then I've not had any such problems at all, so I'd recommend getting a new one.

---------- Post added at 08:56 ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 ----------

I've not had this (at any point as far as I can remember) so not sure what would cause it.

What boot loader and modem are you using? If not a recent MM BL and modem, I'd recommend trying one and I'd recommend [MENTION=6005084]ripee[/MENTION]'s BL/CP download.

What build of this ROM are you using? If not a recent one, I'd recommend one of [MENTION=6005084]ripee[/MENTION]'s recent trltexx (N910F) builds.

Have you got a screen protector or something that might somehow be blocking the proximity sensor?

Maybe try an app (e.g. Sensors Multitool or Sensor Box for Android) to see if the proximity sensor is working? Bear in mind that the proximity sensor reports two values: 'close' (0.0cm) or 'far' (8.0cm).

Have you tried a Samsung/TouchWiz stock ROM and does it happen there?

Situation of this Rom

First of all, a big thanks for the developers !

- I would like to investigate on the overall situation of this Rom, is it a daily driver ? A little laggy or lightning fast ?

- Is Battery consumption optimized on a par with the OEM firmware ?

- Is 4k video recording functioning well ?

- Is HDR functioning well ?

- Other major bugs ?

Thank you... God Bless !
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Luminar2010:
Just my own experience of it, it's a great ROM with a lot of hard work put in. It's maybe not as fast and smooth as say emotionOS yet, and i do have occasional app crashes with some apps, and there was a strange audio distortion problem if the CPU is under load which i don't think was resolved. A few random reboots which get less as time goes. You can certainly use it daily with few issues, battery life is good, and it's well supported. It's not perfect yet, but it's getting there. The camera to be honest isn't great, but I've never seen a non touchwiz ROM with a good camera, it's just one of the things you sacrifice

Hi everyone;

I flashed the latest nightly build of LineAge Os 14,1 (as of 7 april) on my galaxy note 4 N910F.

Everything was fine until i made a phone call where i realised that neither me not the person i'm calling can hear each other, it's like my phone's mic and speakers are not working while making a call, i can only make successful calls using a headset with built-in mic but even so the audio quality would be terrible.

The funny thing is this problem does not affect WhatsApp's calls, i can make calls pretty much normally without using headset. It on only affect calls i make over cellular network.

If anyone found a fix for this please post it in this thread
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Luminar2010:
I had this problem a while back, a reboot seemed to fix it until the next time it happened. No idea why it happens
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] logosA:
There is a bug in Lineage code that effects all roms that are using these codes.

In note 2 threads that i am following for many months now, in every rom at the moment,when a BT is used to make a call , BT is crashing RIL and the cellular network restarts. The solution was to use as prefer network 2G which can stop crashing but then again there is no sound in calls.

Same thing happens with Whatsapp etc using WIFI or mobile data when a headset is used, No sound in calls.

BT is working very well in music and videos , though.

I believe something similar is happening here too.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Luminar2010:
It was happening to me and I've never used BT to make a call in my life, just regular calls
