You'll want to click the big yellow tab at the top of this page: "Device by OS or Manufacturer." Drill down to find your device. As kwkbnk said, the root and the ROM will depend on that device specifically. Once you get to the Developer's forum for your device, you'll discover whether anyone's found a way to put ICS on it.

I'm looking for info. on rooting this device and flashing the best compatible rom.
For root, a step by step if possible...
For flash, which rom is best for the device ( I understand it is pretty weak and may not handle cm series or the like. I did hear about a rom that was like a supped up version of the stock or something but lost that info.
- as well would appreciate a step by step if possible for flashing.
The device is completely stock at the moment.
Moocho Appreesheeosho!

Thanks alot. I will check it out as soon I can. Thank you again for the quick reply. Sent from my GT-S5301
You are very welcome. Best of luck .
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-910T) that I haven't used for some time. I want to install a custom ROM. I have already rooted it and installed a custom recovery. HERE'S the problem. No matter where I look I can not find a list of ROMS for this phone. I thought XDA-developers was the go to place for every custom ROM. I thought there was a way to search for ROMS for my specific device. No matter what, I can not find a place where I can search for "Samsun Galaxy Nore 4 (SM-910T)" and find a list of everything available. Like I said, I am a complete idoit. Please help.
Thankyou,
(idiot) Jim.

I haven't installed a custom ROM in about 6 years and I have only done it once. I seem to recall a LONG list of phones that you would search through for your device. THis site must have changed since then because I am not finding what I am looking for.. Isn't there a download page SOMEWHERE?

Well I don't know what you are looking for actually, but the third link in this forum directs you to the most recognized custom rom in the market - LineageOS. Maybe this is something for you to try. Just make sure this is the correct ROM for your device and read the instructions carefully before proceeding.
And yea, the site could have changed since 6 years ago... I'm here only for a 3,5

I thought there was a download page where every device was listed. I don't want to read about ROMS in the forum. I am looking for a list of ROMS for Download. I don't want to search through countless posts about all kinds of stuff. WHERE IS THE DOWNLOAD PAGE? Looks like the hardest thing about installing a custom ROM is actually finding it.

I think you have had some expectations, and XDA doesn't work like that (at least not now). For each device there is a separate forum, and under that forum you can find threads with ROMs, kernels, recoveries and other stuff. In each thread usually you can find download links along with the instructions on how to proceed with installation. So if you are really interested with installing custom ROM, you have to make the effort of searching and reading. There is no easy way, otherwise you can screw your device for good. Please take this into consideration

Thanks for the information. Sorry, I'm just frustrated.
@burbankjim Thread closed as duplicate of the below linked thread and also because posted in the wrong device forum. This forum is the one of Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 and not of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
