Note Edge lumped into Note 4 forums - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Wondering if the mods will create a forum or subforum for the Note Edge. My concern is primarily related to android dev if there are difference, and I assume there will be some
I'm having flashbacks to the Oppo Find 7 forums where the two major difference handsets were "lumped"(that was comic relief, not a comment on the supermods on XDA. In that case until changed, every ROM thread had multiple "Does this support the new Find 7s?"
Just wondering.

I'm actually wondering if we will see custom roms for the Note Edge...? Doesn't the display and/or resolution have a big effect on the OS? I cannot imagine teams like CM, PA, AOKP, etc, making use of that "edge" screen on their roms. To me it sounds like flashing any custom rom on this device will "disable/disregard" those extra pixels... but i could be very wrong

Does anyone know if the Edge will be compatible with the Galaxy VR or only the Note 4?
Thanks!

I have the same exact question... any confirmation on this? Only Note 4? No Edge compatibility with Virtual Reality?

The Gear VR kit, based on the Oculus technology, presents an entirely new way for you to use your smartphone. Just pair with your Note 4 (it's the only compatible device for now) and enter the VR world, armed with a touchpad, keys and sensors for making your way around. We'll get into the details shortly.

Thank you man... Hope that .1 of main screen lost isn't a real issue with the VR... Maype a simple patch should fix this... hopefully Samsung will add the Edge later on.

5.0 Lollipop Rom?

Anybody know when we're likely to see a rom based on the new 5.0 lollipop for our Note 3's?
From what I've seen something far it looks pretty sweet!

Possible to port Samsung Galaxy S4 lollipop to Nexus 4?

Hello All,
Samsung has started rolling out Lollipop on Galaxy S4. I would like to know if it is possible to port that ROM to Nexus 4?
Can someone point me to the guides to port Galaxy S4 ROM to Nexus 4?
Thank you!
Why would anyone want to do that?

I thought the same exact thing when I saw the title but it the spirit of xda, yes it could be ported but the s3 would probably be easier if there was one which there probably isn't.
All depends on how much effort you wanna put into it though
Fair play

Thanks a lot @sykopompos. I googled a lot but could not find any leads on to how to start on this. Do you have any links which could show me some light?
I just want to try that @copong. I've used kitkat touchwiz ROM on mako and it is good for a change

Google using xda at the end of your search string "how to port a rom xda" But be ready for a challenge, it's not so easy.

Truthfully all my porting skills are in my head and I never followed any links to do so.
The s4 has a 801 processor which would be a very good difference from what is in the n4 so matching up a touchwiz ROM init filed on kit Kat would be my starting place to see what the differences are from there.
Then from there it comes down to figuring out the differences in lib since most touchwiz changed are in the frameworks.
In the end, you would end up with more mako then s4 which is what you want

Thanks! I also compared S3, S4 and mako. And as you said S3 is much closer to mako. So I'll start searching while keeping S3 in mind :good:
I just sold my S5 as TW ram so damn horrible on LP, a phone of that spec ran slower than a Moto G, why would you want that crap anywhere near a nexus device?

Download additional camera modes: did you know it?

Well I was disappointed Sunday by the available surround capturing mode in my Edge when I found out today in the camera settings that you can actually download many additional modes, included the previous surround mode I was used to set in my S4 LTE+!
I think that many of us didn't know it either or?

My 2 years old son seems to have a built-in 'avoid focus' system and Sport mode is the only one that gives satisfactory results.

I doubt if that's possible. Also, I remember watching some video where you could change the focus of the objects after the pictures has been taken? Does anyone here has it?

Not remotely interested in CM on this device. If I wanted it I'd buy a Nexus or OpO.

I was thinking king about this too. I am a fan of AOSP Roms, but the camera quality is always neutered so badly on samsung phones, it's not worth it. Not to mention other stuff like finger print scanner and the edge stuff. We have root and a theme engine as well as exposed, it's pretty good.
The only phone that I used CM on that was worth it from Samsung was the note 4 because somebody made a camera nightshot fix, the pic quality was indistinguishable from TW, but that was an exception.

Or you can sell your device on Swappa and get something else, OR you can learn something and provide to Development, vice posting in this manner. You may not have meant to post in such a demanding manner, but it comes across as such...
After all this is a learning/development site, you can try and do for yourself, or provide something back to XDA vice "Ordering".
looks like s7 has finally been left behind.
s7 has no more support... im boring with s8 roms. and i have terrible baterry drain on any rom

Note 8 full ported rom available in samsungvn.com. Mobile network is not working at the moment. Otherwise its a good port
There is a rom on 4pda too. Didn't have time to test it. From what i heard sac23 is working on a port too, so just wait.
tried the note 8 port here
but keep in mind bugs are:
- some camera modes not working
- backlight does not turn on
- setup ui messed up.
you have to use a mouse and press where the skip should be. because it is hard to setup. after that change the display resolution to 2k and everything will be fine.
