Xperia OS port over Touchwiz - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Asking the N4 owners if its worth doing it for a developer and also if the idea is supported we can try asking a developer to do So , Here are some Advantages of having a Xperia OS :
1. Super Battery friendly ( personally compared Z5 and Z3 to N4 and the results were Fascinating )
2.Smoother UI which is actually closer to CM roms than a laggy touchwiz
3.more Advanced options to use than normal CM roms , better power management and Camera
4.theme support , prettier UI , Anti-cartoonish and childish UI
5. less in-system bloatwares and less RAM usage

Love to have one...

I think this is wonderfull idea..absolutely it must do..

imho, if you are rooted you can removed bloatware plus there are many n7 / s7 rom that are smooth nowadays.

About GamerzRom, Stock ROMs vs CyanogenMod

Hello everyone,
After long tests:
Stock firmwares vs AOSP Roms
Previously, stock roms was better for gaming. They were have best 3D performance with very little overclock. And sensors was better on stock rom.
After JW8, games running much faster than old releases. Even better than old froyo gaming performance.
So I deicided to slimming the stock roms, dying them. cool blue color, adding some tweaks to increase performance, replacing some ram hungry things with ram friendly alternatives, adding some good features that never implemented before, using all features with no lose from gaming performance. This was my focus about GamerzRom.
CyanogenMod is cool.
But about 2 month ago,
Thats why I stick stock ROMs1- Gaming performance was worse than stock.
2- Accelerometer and other sensors were unresponsible and impossible to play games with them.
3- Filesystem was confusing us. (datadata problems and lags)
4- Radical changes in short times needs full wipe which I don't like it.
5- Camera was worse than stock roms, especially the 720p recording.
6- Stock ROMS was faster overal.
When I look cyanogenmod these days after very detailed benchmarks today again;
1- Gaming performance and 3D performance is much better than stock roms. (System UI priority decreased and gaming is very quality.)
2- Accelerometer and other sensors are BETTER and more responsive than stock (Accelerometer delay is 20 ms on stock roms, 10 ms on cyangeonmod.)
3- Filesystem is much better - faster than stock with new layout.
4- No radical changes and everyday cyangeonmod team and community adding new features to it.
5- Camera is very smooth and much funnier than stock rom. Benchmarked both. They exactly same. But JellyBean camera features are new destinty.
6- Cyanogenmod 10 is faster OVERALL.
7- Webbrowsing is much better on cyangeonmod 10.
8- You got 390 mb RAM + 720p recording with devil kernel. (Which is 364 mb ram on stock)
9- You can take videos with front cam on cyanogenmod 10.
10- Instantly getting new updates from google to our device. (Latest android features)
11- HW Acceleration is very important for todays devices. Gingerbread is totally crap for most of apps including tapatalk.
12- Sound quality is much better on AOSP roms and you got more chance to tweak it.
13- There are too much reasons that I don't really remember.
14- Touchscreen is much responsive on this one.
For sure, I got my own codes and implementions for AOSP roms. But I have a crappy PC which running a 32 bit Arch-Linux.
Sadly, I need a 64-bit PC and can't compile ROM's on 32 bit PC.
I think from now I can't make more than cyanogenmod team and I highly recommend my users to switching Cyanogenmod 10.
Only negative effects of cyanogenmod is;
- You can't make video calls
That's all.
My suggestion for a combiantion.
-Latest CyanogenMod nightly.
-Devil kernel
As I reminded. You have no reasons to stay on crappy gingerbread with a half hw-accelerated browser.
Upgrade your phone now...
And if you want to donate me because of works I did until today, please donate derteufel1980 or pawitp. Because they doing much more than me.
About GameBooster etc.. We are working like a hurricane. You will get what you paid and much more. Thanks for supporting us.
IMPORTANT:

(Or how we must tell this in English. That's just important about my religion.)

I appreciate all ur work and tbh all ur roms were as great as you, hope u keep on development in general, wish u all the luck.
I will give a try to Gamezrom I am using CM9 and I am very satisfied!

should i buy s5?

hi guys
i'm nexus 4 owner and wanned to buy new phone.. and i'm thoroughly confused :/
my expections:
first of all... speed speed speed..!
i dont mean benchmark numbers or either gaming performance (i don't play games) i just want fast and super responding interface
2.battery 3. developmental support.. 4.screen 5.camera
i decided to buy s5.. but when i played around with it, totally disappointed :/ really slow interface.. i don't know how is it in non stock based custom roms..
does this phone have some super fast and snappy (probably non stock based ) roms?
then i cheked m8 .. it was lovely fast.. but i think camera is aweful stupid htc ... just put simple 13mp camera
g3 also checked it's videos.. shamefully it's slow just like s5 just have quicker animation speed.. but i want touch responsive phone.. not fast animated..
i heard it'll get better after updates.. i dunno how much..
plz help...
Flash XtreStoLite 1.3.8 and you will have very fast device. You can decide yourself which features an widgets you want. Overall the S5 is a great phone but it has to much bloatware aboard.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using XDA Free mobile app
Honestly, coming from a Nexus even after flashing XtreSto you won't be happy with the speed (I'm on 1.3.8).
TouchWiz is slow, there's tweaks you can do like reducing animations, changing launchers, turning off S-Voice and debloating, but doesn't change that simple fact.
However, you do get used to it and everything outside of the interface is quite fast and responsive.
You may be interested in trying out CM for the S5 assuming you have an unlocked bootloader device. I've flashed a few times and it fly's for sure. Keeping with TW at the moment due to camera and bit better battery life, but lot's of progress has been made with CM11 and 12 is right around the corner. If a Play Edition is ever released that will help tremendously.
guys i don't want to use sammy roms if i bought this phone.. i'll flash a aosp/cm based rom at first day..
the question is , how 's devolepment going on this phone ? (snap version)
'cause some guy told me if u want custom roms don't go for this phone.. why?

Welcome to XDA.
I suggest you enter the development section and do like most of us - flash like a maniac until you find a ROM that suits your needs, looks the way you want, feels the way you want.
Still, let me sum it up. These are the main categories of ROMs for our beloved N9005:
1. TouchWiz ROMs.
Those are ROMs based on the official firmware that Samsung released for our phones. They keep between most and all features and apps that are originally offered by Samsung, and then some extras like even better battery life, slightly better camera shots with higher quality, to some small extent they're themed.
tl;dr
Pros:
+ Stable.
+ Good battery life.
+ All the functionality is kept.
Cons:
- In my opinion, while quite functional, TouchWiz is ugly as hell.
- Can be somewhat laggy at times.
- You can't mod as much as you want to.
2. AOSP ROMs.?
Those are ROMs based on the Android Open Source Project. Basically, these ROMs turn your device into a Nexus device and strive to bring the pure Android experience. Those ROMs are fast as hell, responsive, and very, VERY easily modified. On the other hand, those are ROMs made by enthusiasts, in some cases professional developers. Still, ROMs that are made from the ground up, and are largely still works in progress.
tl;dr
Pros:
+ Your phone running an AOSP ROM will be way faster than TouchWiz.
+ NO bloatware. I mean, all that Samsung bulls**t like ChatOn, Samsung Hub/Apps/Link/Group Play/Trip Advisor and some 20 others are NOT present on AOSP ROMs.
+ Much more open to modifications, including the way even non-system apps look. Like, you can have a dark themed Facebook and Instagram and whatever you use.
Cons:
- Battery life on those ROMs is generally not as good as on TouchWiz.
- While the phone is way faster, the camera experience is also not as good as on TouchWiz. The camera starts quite slowly and while the shots it takes are not bad, those taken on TouchWiz are visibly better.
- Like I said above, those ROMs are works in progress and may have bugs and while most of them are with status Stable by now and most major bugs are not present anymore, there might still be some annoyances.
3. Ported ROMs.
Those are ROMs based on firmwares originally made for other devices, in our case mostly other Samsung devices. The Note 4 (soon Note 5) and S6 have functionality not present even on stock ROMs, like the Galaxy S6's Theme Store. That way with a ported ROM you have access to that functionality while keeping all of the original functionality.
Pros:
+ Added even more functions.
+ With ported ROMs you can experience to an extent new devices without actually having to buy them.
Cons:
- Might be buggy. Making another phone's firmware work on yours is no easy task.
- Battery life might be strange. Good on some days and downright miserable on others. xD
Final instructions:
1. Welcome to XDA.
2. Read A LOT. When choosing a ROM, read EVERYTHING in the ROM thread's original post, and if there is something you want to know but is not answered in the original post, search through the thread, 95% of the cases someone else has asked your question and it has been answered.
3. After reading a lot and you believe you're ready for action, READ IT ALL OVER AGAIN.
4. When you're absolutely sure you're ready, start flashing.

My favourite ROM for the S6

Hi. I want to share my experience with a couple of ROMS. Maybe people new to ROMS or to the S6 would like to know.
Before my S6 I used iPhones for years (ever since the 3GS). I always jailbroke my phones and customized iOS as much as possible. For that reason I immediately rooted my phone and looked in to any improvements I could make.
Just so you know: Rooting usually trips Knox and yes you probably lose your guarantee. That's a whole other subject.
The S6 is a fantastic phone, no matter what everyone says about battery life, etc. It's still freaking great and much better than an iPhone 6.
1. My second favourite (but many people's favourite and #1 choice as ROM for the S6): XtreStoLite Deo-Mod Edition
If you want to immediately improve your S6 I suggest you install the XtreStoLite Deo-Mod Edition. It's a super lightweight version of the original Touch Wiz rom. It's got all of the Samsung bloatware removed. It's extremely fast, animation speeds are adjusted, and it makes it a 100% better experience than the original Touch Wiz that comes with the phone.
It comes with a companion zip file called the Aroma Package. It's like a second installation which includes tons of optional apps and customizations you can add to your phone. It's developed by @edgarf28. Go download it, and give him THANKS.
2. My favourite ROM (and also for many others): back-to-n0t3; Bring the larger fun to the flagship
The absolute best ROM for me is the back-to-n0t3; Bring the larger fun to the flagship. It's the Galaxy Note 5 firmware ported over to the S6. Since the Note 5 and the S6 are basically the same phone, the developer @arter97 noticed that in the Note 5 many finishing touches, memory management and performance was handled better than in the S6, so he ported the ROM.
I'll just say that after using this ROM my S6 has been on another level. It works great, it gives me 3 hours of SOT (and many people report even 5 hours). I use my phone non-stop: Facebook, Twitter, Email, etc. I give myself no restrictions.
Animation speeds are great, RAM never reaches max usage, and the higher DPI resolution is also something I love.
I also now have some of the features of the Note 5 in my S6: I can stream videos directly to Youtube, can use the "one handed" settings, etc.
So download it and thank the developer.
Both these ROMS will make you a happier S6 user.
Great explanation.
Fingerprint reader Funtionality
@gaston_garcia Does Fingerprint reader work in any of the roms you mentioned?
Does your private mode works properly on back to n0t3?
Fingerprint works in both Roms

Touchwiz Nougat VS. Lineage OS?

I need your best advise and/or suggestions. I've been a fan of custom ROMs and switching from Touchwiz Nougat (e.g. Nemesis Reborn) to Lineage OS to stock G900F firmware seems to be what I always do (am I the only one who does this?). I am undecided as to which software should I use as my daily driver. These ROMs are great and have their own pros and cons, but I've been annoyed of the fact that I keep switching ROMs which is somehow a waste of time and could even mess up my device in the future.
Touchwiz: The ultimate deciding factor for me is the stock S5 camera app. If you can find similar camera app on the Google Play Store that gives almost the same results let me know.

Footej Camera has a great user interface but the quality of the photo it produces is not that good; noise, grain, blur -- those stuff. Also, it has no real FAST auto-focus. Essentialy, it just focuses continuously, but it does not really detect objects whether they are near or far. If it ever focuses into something, it's not that accurate, it's blurred.
The stock S5 camera app is not perfect, it does not have manual settings, but among all the camera apps for the S5, it is the best. That's why I'm sticking with a Touchwiz-based ROM.

Exactly! ???
Touchwiz. Working smooth
I personally use an AOSP ROM (RR 5.8.2) for my Galaxy S5 (klte). I don't use the camera too often. Plus, the camera quality isn't as bad compared to stock ROM. As for gaming, I don't​ play games anymore on my phone since the top grossing Android games would force you to spend money to progress (usually) which isn't good. I just want my phone to look like how I want and experience smooth Android experience. But your mileage may vary.
Lineage Based:
-Better performance
-Touchwiz lacks the customization options I want
-Touchwiz feels bloated to me even with the debloated Note 7 or A7 firmware
-Latest version of Android
-The features in Touchwiz aren't very practical (I set up the edge panels and then proceeded to never use them, AOD drains the battery)
-Can have better battery life depending on which ROM / Kernel are used
-I have been happy with the quality from Open Camera
-The Lineage stock apps (other than file manager) are awesome

Thanks bro. I've decided to use lineage because of the same reasons.
Open camera has the same functions as stock sansung camera?
Blur background, etc ?
What customization are you using in lineage?
What kernel is good ? I have on stock lineage

No camera has the same features as stock Samsung camera.
Open Camera is the only 1 I have found that (IMO) takes similar quality photos and has good hdr plus many manual settings. It is also very stable.
I have been trying many different kernels lately:
Smartpack lite - was not happy with the battery life even though it is supposed to be a battery oriented kernel
Boeffla venom - have been using yankactive governor for a day and preliminary results are very good. Will be trying impulse and ondemandplus also.

You guys wrote about Touchwiz Nougat but there is no 7.0 Nougat ROM Touchwiz based for G900F. Why?

Footej Camera has a great user interface but the quality of the photo it produces is not that good; noise, grain, blur -- those stuff. Also, it has no real FAST auto-focus. Essentialy, it just focuses continuously, but it does not really detect objects whether they are near or far. If it ever focuses into something, it's not that accurate, it's blurred.
The stock S5 camera app is not perfect, it does not have manual settings, but among all the camera apps for the S5, it is the best. That's why I'm sticking with a Touchwiz-based ROM.

TouchWiz is one of the most modified and conceivably heavy Stock Roms of native android between companies, but its interface is very flashy and intuitive, and the system is very sophisticated, giving an impression of exclusivity.
On the other hand, Lineage OS gets closer to pure Android, has a simpler, lightweight and stable interface, greater compatibility with third-party apps and greater flexibility to system modifications.
Note: Samsung's "Camera" app for example is much higher compared to the same "Camera" app available in Lineage OS, after all, the original app was designed for the original rom itself. If you decide to install Lineage OS, you can choose to use the "Cameringo" app available in the "Play Store", it's the best non-native camera app I know, but it's paid.
Recommendation: Keep using the latest official Stock Rom version available for your device. Only install Custom Roms (like Lineage OS) from android versions that are not officially available for your device model.
