[Galaxy Note 4 General] jetbruceli:
Guys just want to add my two cents here. I have currently the S7 Edge, had the S7, note 5 and others but back to my 5th Note 4. The note 4 in my opinion was the best device ever made. It has all a person could ever want in a phone. The downside of course is Samsung who refuses to update it to the latest UI. However, when I originally purchased the Note 4 when it was released, I didn't mind the UI.

The reason I like it so much is the fact I can't stand curved edge screens. They are annoying, not well protected, the new S8 has onscreen buttons (which I refuse to us), and of course I love the S-Pen. I was completely pissed when I saw the note 7 was an edge device and I am certain the note 8 (2017) will be edged as well. Looks like this will be my last Samsung device till something new comes around.

Currently on Stock mainly because with rooted devices I can't use google play movies.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] f4vr:
If you want stable as stock MM with enhancements on a Snapdragon device, check out RamROM V10.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Affangta:
Using Stock MM with Spacelemon kernel for better battery and D2W feature. Debloated most of the system apps. Installed xposed and did some other tweaks. Gives me 5.5h+ SOT. I'm pretty happy with it.

Hey guys maybe you can help find the perfect rom for my Note 4 N910F at the moment i use RR but i want to use all functions of the Note 4 (Fingerprint, Heart Rate Monitor and S-Pen). I looked for my self and find a few Rom`s but i have no idea how good there are, i saved myself: Emotion Revolution Note 4, Emotion OS and RaceRom v9.0 and V10.0 also thought about to go back to Stock (maybe the best option?). Hope you can help thx for help.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Soufiansky:
Stock ROM is the best option, fast and smooth with everything working fine. Back when i had the Note 4 i tried lot of ROMS but i always came back to Stock, AOSP roms are even better than TW based roms, but as i said stock is the best
[Galaxy Note 4 General] blackhawk_LA:
You should use RamRom or the stock based RaceRom (not the Note7 port)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Maxikinq:
thx for you help guys :) i think i try RamRom and when i dont like the Rom i go to Stock.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] r33fd:
I am running an exynos stock note 4 (never rooted)

But now my warranty has expired so I could try some stuff .

Is there any custom rom better than stock 6.0.1 in terms of performance / battery life ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Soufiansky:
For me the best one is stock ROM, tried tons of ROMS here but i always came back to stock MM
[Galaxy Note 4 General] r33fd:
Have to agree with you .

Stock rom is perfect man . I can disable bloat, block ads, force doze and install modded apks, all without root .

Also performance and battery life are good . Even after more than 2 years I can get around 4h sot per charge and phone feels snappy .

My only problem is I got bored . My phone look and feel hasn't change much since I got it and it's been a long time . And I'm not gonna upgrade soon either due to hardware still being competitive till today (no other phone has the combination of S pen, IR blaster, removable battery, large display, very loud speaker etc )
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Soufiansky:
Yes sure the Note 4 is still a very good device, fast, big display and good performance, it can do the job for 2 more years
[Galaxy Note 4 General] m5james:
Currently on stock 6.0.1 on a Sprint N910P and I'm losing my mind with this phone!! Constant reboots regardless of batteries, screen won't come on right away after reboots and says Process System isn't responding, won't automatically connect to BT devices anymore, screen rotation is getting laggier, it's recently escalated to saying I have corrupted files after rebooting and now it'll just freeze for a min or so outta nowhere...which feels like forever mid text, trying to switch apps or when the screen won't shut off. Obviously I need a complete format, wipe and refresh.

I don't care if I go custom or stock necessarily, but at minimum I'd still prefer to be rooted, debloated and be able to keep using things like finger print scanner, LTE, BT, etc...basically not lose factory features but debloat so is faster, better battery life, etc etc. I've got an extended battery now, battery life isn't an issue, but I'm guessing a battery kernel will help...I didn't even know they had kernels for these until a month ago.

The person I quoted is running an N910F (I've got no clue of the phone differences), but is the advice the same that maybe going backwards to KK will help stop the CONSTANT rebooting? Maybe is it just a kernel thing where I should stay with MM (debloated and rooted) and safely use Spacelemon for my extended battery? Am I asking too much to be debloated, extended battery AND no reboots or do I need a certain kernel that'll control the reboots only since honestly my battery life is fine, so maybe a battery kernel isn't as important in my case...I'm just tired of 4x a day reboots!!!!!

I haven't custom baked my own ROM since my Moment days and getting my first Note 2, then 3 and now the 4...I love the size, brightness and speed of the 4 but this thing was rebooting within the first few days of buying it used. I just wanna make it reliable.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pyro-ns:
Currently I'm with m5james. I got an update from Samsung recently that has totally ruined my note 4. Constant rebooting to odin screen, half the system functions don't work any more and I'm looking to flash :) Don't really want to get rid of the phone because it does everything I want, so will try a flash first. Looking at the Dr's note 7 port at the moment. Hoping that will at least get me up and running again :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] moonryder:
The Note4 is still one of the best devices on the market.

Big, fast, changeable battery and so on.

If you want a very good stock ROM, soft-debloated, snappy and fast, try DevBase 4.3 from [MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION].

I tested almost all ROMs available on XDA (stock and custom). This one is the best i found.

Cheers
[Galaxy Note 4 General] m5james:
Have you tried Nemesys and Dr Ketan N6, moonryder? I've read like 5+ threads and these seem the most popular vs staying stock.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] w41ru5:
Air_Rom_V1.1 for the 910C (exynos) got my love. There are a lot of particular issues for who likes(or not) a particular ROM, custom or stock. And to get the longest SOT - well, it depends of quite a lot of factors, out of which some are more important, imho.

a. radio signal [for voice] - every 6-th second (or so) the modem does a radio TX&RX (transmission/reception) with the BS(base station) where it's registered. when the radio signal has too much loss, then the modem is "searching" (triangulation) with the best radio signalling BS, thus enabling the "hand-over" from one BS to another. As the radio signal get's weak the modem need more power, sometimes reaching to the max level -> battery juice goes down. In the GSM world is somewhere at 0.6 watts, while in the PMR (professional mobile radio) can get to 2 watts.

b. radio signal [for data] - get quite the same treatment as above, the only difference is that some people do not use this connection 24/7, but only when they need (like me :p ) - the weaker the signal, the more power drain from the battery - this is the case with the place where I live, radio coverage very bad.

c. what apps do we use as daily entertainment, work, tools etc - if someone has an internet "need", like *cough* FB *cough* or is in love to follow POTUS (or "da_real_Donald_Duck_T") all the day long hitting the F5 of that phone :D... or P***Hub or dunno what AND it's in a bad (weak) connection spot - maybe this will suck the battery's current like a desert sucks the water.

d. I've got around 7h 27m 10s on my phone with a leftover of 13% battery - I'll try to put a screenshot with it.

e. I run SpaceLemon for Extended Battery (root), Greenify, Root Booster, SD Maid (scheduled at 00:00 hours every night), Synapse and used unistall some 100 services (apk's) from the system apps - I have trimmed down the ROM. If anyone interested, I could give a list (only if the devs give me permission, I mean no disrespect for their work).

So, good luck in choosing any of the ROM's that's suitable for you, guys. It very subjective matter, but it can be done.

Sorry for the long post and En is not my mother language. :angel:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Maxikinq:
Hi guys i thinking about to change rom again but don`t know which one or stock, im looking for a rom with a good SoT because i use at the moment RR 5.8.5 and my SoT is 1:36:37 with 28 % left. has anyone an idea
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Jejebond:
Did you get any kernel with it ? I need that rom with permissive kernel for Viper4Android but the only permissive kernel for 910F seems to be Ram kernel and i think it's not well optimized... :(
[Galaxy Note 4 General] audino:
Im running NamelessV4 MM and Emotion R26.

In my eyes it is the best phone setup for Note 4, Im using it now for over a year without any resetting/wiping and its still smooth and very very fast.

I bought a Note 8 and couldnt find any benefits in daily using compering to my Note 4. Therefor I send the 8 back...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] skabeng:
Just the standard kernel that comes with the rom. If you use magisk as root solution there is a module in the repository for viper that works without changing kernel.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] phamanhvu01:
Nemesis 3.8 w/ PRIME-Kernel for my N910S, since it's the only ROM that has AOD properly working. And note when screen off too.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Maxikinq:
i wouldn`t say that off corse a lot of the dev`s dosen`t have the note 4 but at least the next big RR update should be Oreo :good:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] martyh1:
Stock 6.01 MM. I basically refuse to try the Ketan ROM because of the ridiculously annoying adware (basically malicious) when just trying to download the ROM and any other add ons. I've tried lots of other ROMs and always end up on stock again because of the stability of stock (and lack of stability on EVERY other ROM I've tried). I also want Samsung features especially action memo and S-Pen and that ends up eliminating lots of ROMs (e.g. Lineage OS ROMs, but also TW ROMs that don't have action memo).

Gorgeous ROM.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lisbon2004:
Looks really good!

but 3 things:

1) Android 6 (not 7 or 8)

2) Fingerprint scanner does not work (see bugs) - without it i cannot consider a ROM

3) complaints regarding battery life.

Also it seems that the development activity is on decline.

Will we see roms on Android 8? I'm waiting for one.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] AnthonyBannock:
I think he mentioned something like cm11 KitKat, like Google stock roms. Interesting choice tbh, I don't think I'll go that approach tho, I'm looking for a good nougat rom, probably Los 14.1 or RR.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ShaDisNX255:
Is there actually a ROM that has fingerprint scanner without a work-around?

I prefer touchwiz based ROMs instead of base/stock ROMs. I like the S-Pen features :D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Internetwork:
Reading all the comments. I came here looking to root mine and move to custom rom but looking at feedback. Im gonna just stay put on stock 6.0.1 unrooted. Dont need unnecessary hiccups. Already its stable and one of the best devices on the market. Might just do a backup , factory wipe reset and setup from scratch to refresh a bit of a lag that has built up. Cheers!

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Menelkir:
You didn't specified what version or processor you want it. :p

I think 8.x will probably not see the sun shortly (or even in long-term) since the development is quite stagnated. Unless all the developers that still on the scene join efforts do to something.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ShaDisNX255:
Dang, it's for Exynos :crying:

I had always thought that Snapdragon had better support than exynos, but I think that wasn't the case with the Note 4

I wish I had known before, oh well xD
[Galaxy Note 4 General] vislavskid:
Try nemesis refined 3.8.6
[Galaxy Note 4 General] blackhawk_LA:
For the Snapdragon version, i think the best is switch to AOSP/LOS/ Resurrection remix. The latest is the one I'm using and I'm pretty satisfied. I've forgot about the LAGS on every stock rom. Only downside for me is camera quality. With Spencommander I get nearly all functionality and the heart rate/PO2 and UV sensor are not important to me.

In terms of speed, fluidity and customisation, is ANOTHER WORLD. And I've never had any stability issue; for me it's a perfect daily driver.

However, if you prefer to stay on stock, I'd recommend alexndr rom.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] d_802:
I've tried many ROMs (Stock, Stock Based, AOSP) and finally coming always back to Stock or Stock Based ROMs since i had problems with AOSP ROMs, that is, sudden reboots, missing or erroneous functions etc.

Yes, the AOSP components are running fast and smooth and have many many extra options but the stability is not the best.

Currently i'm running on alexndr v4.3 (DQH8) with Magisk and i'm happy with it. Btw, the newest Stock firmware (DQJ1) seems to have a battery drain problem. Did someone else notice this, too?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ShaDisNX255:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] ShaDisNX255:
Pure stock like Lineage and RR? I think not. I don't know if you can add them separately.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] blackhawk_LA:
You can use Spen command (paid app) to have nearly all features. But not the Samsung apps
[Galaxy Note 4 General] feartheanonymity:
Currently using RR 7.1 but I find it too buggy, I really prefer stock because of battery life and reliability but it just looks too outdated now.

I really want to use an S8 themed / ported ROM but they all have issues with fingerprint unlock which is what I really miss.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ShaDisNX255:
You miss the fingerprint unlock?

I think it gets in the way when you're holding the phone with one hand. It's tricky to unlock.

I've been using a N7 port and have no issues. I have the lock screen to "swipe" and only locked some apps behind the finger-print scanner using AppLock.

No regrets lol
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Xperianeo:
Are u still using this ROM? Could you walk me thourgh how you trimmed these app?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] w41ru5:
I'm now with Nemesis, absolutely great ROM. As for the trimming the apps, you need to have a rooted phone, install the ROM, install Service Disabler (for Samsung) and freeze some of the apps you don't need/use. Test if anything goes wrong and if all OK, delete the app.

Sorry to write so late, I'm overseas with limited access to internet and coming back home on second week of January. I'll write more details then, if you want.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Chete2001:
Did u try with RaceRom V13? Thats the best rom i've ever tried.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] li0nh3art3d:
I'm currently using ApocalypseX_M, I hear good things about RaceRom though. Have either of yall used it? If so, how does it compare? So far Apocalypse has been running about 3 days on my phone with no serious issues. Definitely needed to flash the N4 camera fix though. And I'm using Flashpoint Kernel.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Chete2001:
How long does the battery last in ApocalypseX_M?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] li0nh3art3d:
It really depends how many apps you're running, which kernel you use etc.. But I wanna say it's about the same as the stock firmware. I flashed the Flashpoint kernel, and I have a 9600mAH extended battery. I can play games all day long though. It comes with RamKernel RC2, but I think Flashpoint is a little better. The kernel you use makes the biggest difference in battery life imo. I like ApocalypseX_M though because there's no Chinese, the data works without an extra file. The only drawback is the camera is choppy if you don't flash the camera fix. After I flashed the camera fix, it's 100% smooth.

If you want better battery life, an AOSP ROM like LineageOS will probably give it to you, but there's no S Pen functionality, samsung themes, etc. Bottom line, all the Samsung TouchWiz stuff like the pen & the air command etc do drain the battery, because they take up RAM memory.

It's a tradeoff. I don't see there possibly being any miracle battery solutions with so many Samsung programs and sensors running in the background on a TouchWiz ROM, BUT ApocalypseX_M does have MTweaks which is basically Kernel Auditor, and there you can tradeoff performance for battery life, by tweaking the kernel a bit. You could also try L Speed, which is basically a simpler version of kernel Auditor.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Chete2001:
I guess i'll buy an extended battery. And yeah, I love pure Android and I love LineageOS either but, I love s-pen funcionality so..

Where did you buy your battery? Tell me the model, becouse i think i'll buy it right now haha.! :D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] li0nh3art3d:
There's a few from Kranich, Zerolemon, and a few other brandsml. I use the 9600mAH one from Kranich, but it doesn't have NFC support. I hear there's a new 11800 mAh model that does have NFC. They cost around $30 free shipping on eBay. if you have Amazon prime you can probably get one with 2day shipping.

Worth noting, before first use, slow-charge the battery well beyond indicated 100%. The phone won't recognize the new battery and give accurate readings right away. just make sure fast charging is off and charge it overnight until the LED indicator turns green, regardless of what the % says. Also, use Flashpoint kernel for extended batteries.

On my battery, the included rubber case covers one of the microphones, but it's rubber, I just made one of the holes a little bigger (the one on the left)

After that, your phone should have all day battery life on any rom, then you can use a program like app Quarantine to freeze apps you don't need running, and make some kernel tweaks for even more battery ?

erobot's v34 rom is still the best, if you'd ask me (see my sig).

I always do some minor changes to the rom zip before installing, debloating it some more etc. You need to pick the right choices during install to get the best out of it.

erobot rom has been my daily driver for years now, never any big issue with it.
