Gonna buy a Note 4 (Switching from LG G4) - General Questions and Answers

I'm going to buy a Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910L. I just wanted to know if it's possible to root the MM version of this particular variant, also if there's any custom ROM available for this variant.
The reason I'm asking this is because I recently bought a LG G4 H818P and found out that the MM version of that phone isn't possible to root yet and also there isn't any custom ROM available. So, I downgraded it to LP, but there are a lot of bugs, very very bad battery life. So now I'm bound to switch to another phone and found that Note 4 is the one that meets my budget and requirements.
Any advice is very much welcomed. Thanks in advance.

I owned the g2 then I moved onto the g pro 2 (d838) as I got a fantastic deal on a new one on ebay.
The g2 is an excellent device with a fairly decent custom rom scene thanks mostly to @Cloudya but the g pro 2 has similar hardware specs with the massive bonus of a 5.9 inch screen (g2=5.2 inch) an extra 1gb of ram, a micro sd card slot, a removable battery and an improved ois on the camera.
I absolutely love my g2 pro 2 but, at the moment, the dev scene is practically non-existant. We have easy root but no custom recovery. I can't understand why this device isn't popular, It is excellent and as soon as we users flaunt this fact then perhaps people (especially developers) will buy this device and develop for it.
In saying this, on stock, this is the best device that I have ever owned and I have had many.
Agreed, I have owned a g2, loved it. this G Pro 2 is even better. All specs mentioned in above post are 1 reason why I like it more. Another is the size, I can't see my self going g2 size again. This phone is the best I've owned, and that list is long. I sold my galaxy note 3 after using this for a week.
G Pro 2! I own a nexus 5 and now got a D838. I cant start explaining how much more awsome the G Pro 2 is. The screen and the battery life are the selling points for me.

I also don't understand why LG hasn't released this flagship to Europe anyway? Luckily eBay is there to help us.

NotePro 12.2 4.4 -> 5 ? But which 5 & which method ?

4.4 -> 5
Hi,
Just a question regarding those who have updated their Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Tablets from 4.4 Kitkat to Lollipop
Out of all who have updated to either 5.02 be it the recommended Korean version or the .NL (An EU version) or even the more recent people who have appeared to have upgraded via flashing to 5.1.1 from an SD card .Zip file...
Has anyone any thoughts on out of all the possible upgrading options / routes I could use / go which they think is the best for a UK based user who only really requires that his Samsung S Keyboard + S mouse both work & that my Bluetooth will work fine too with say Apple device's too etc...
Out of all the current available ways of upgrading my Note Pro 12.2 from 4.4 to Lollipop which would be the more recommended option bearing in mind I don't care about running any modified Roms or doing much Modding if I could avoid needing to do so & that I'm just basically sick of waiting for the .UK Vers of Samsung to offer me an official normal WiFi update like it's clear they should have been offering about a year ago ?
Seeing all the countries that have already been offered the update but still no UK 1 isn't really making me a big fan right now of Samsung & the way they operate when it comes to updates TBH & it saddens me greatly !
So as it looks like the UK won't be getting offered a straightforward Lollipop update like the rest of the world = Which method from those I've mentioned above would be the best option for me ?
Any & all suggestions appreciated greatly & I do apologise for asking such a N00b'sh question it's just that I haven't flashed/ molded a device in ages & would like the best advice possible from the best users possible Hence I thought of XDA
So can anyone or a few experienced note Pro 12 users/ modders suggest my best course of upgrade decision/ choice/ method ?
Cheers
If you have P905, definitely THIS with whatever version?
Hi,
Sorry I should have made this clear ;
It's the basic P900 with only Wi-Fi & it was imported from the Philippines to use in the UK here with me & my UK S Samsung Keyboard + S Mouse
Thank you for the reply but I honestly don't need a Modified ROM if I can avoid it.
I was just wondering out of the options/ choices I had mentioned above what gets the most/ biggest Thumbs up from any guys who have upgraded their P900's
Cheers
Bump Bump...
Any1 Any Advice since I hear that there will be no official UK lollipop getting released by Samsung . ?
Cheers.

Galaxy S7

I am planning to get SGS7, NOT Edge version. I kinda hate it actually. HEre is my question. Is bootloader unlocked ? Cause I can't live without my CM13. And if So May be you guys can recommend Snapdragon 820 based Phone that can run homebrew roms. Right now I am on OP2 and I simply can't handle it anymore after 5 minutes in any game phone slowing down to around 10 FPS, unplayable condition.
Thank you in advance.
The bootloader is currently not unlockable on the Snapdragon 820 version. On the Exynos version, root and (I think) TWRP is available, but definitely no CM support.
Bottom line, this isn't the device for you if you want CM13

Thank you very much for your answer. I also looking into upcoming HTC M10 and LG G5, what do you know / think of them ?
Thank you once again !
Check the Cyanogenmod website to see if your (future) device is supported by CM.
Currently the S7 (Edge) are not supported, but that's just a matter of time.
Galaxy S7 has so far the best camera ever Samsung has introduced. Being Water-resistant is an additional advantage for that people like it, awesome battery and Gear VR system as well. who use a costly phone like a crap.

Costumizing ROM for S7

Hi all,
I have got a few questions for a GALAXY S7 owners
I havent got time for customizing again everything from my LG G2 ROM, and I guess original ROM from S7 will be slower and slower with time, even on such a new phone like S7. So it would be great to have same ROM, I mean CM13.
1. Which ROM is the best for S7? Have we got stable CyanogenMod ? with working original camera and dual pixel feature ?
1.1 Is there any poll on the forum/ internet with votes which ROM is the best? That would be very good illustration what is the best choice.
2. exynos and snapdragon - which version should I buy here in UK?
3. Is ROOT a problem for a galaxy s7? I will need to root my phone definitely.
4. What should I consider when buying, the new one and used one ?
My LG G2 is really super fast with CM13 ROM + xposed and tweaks, but I am running out with space and there is no microsd slot + phone is plastic, galaxy has got dual pixel and f 1.7 lens which is much better.
I am still not sure if shold I update just because of this 3 points (space, plastic and camera).
Thanks for help:good:
anything ?
1,1.1 Head over to the development forum for roms. Usually the threads with most replies and views are an indication of which roms are most popular and that have good dev support. No CyanogenMod for this phone.
2,3. You can only get root with Exynos phones at this stage

China vs Global ROMS

Hello. Im planning to upgrade my phone to a 'gaming phone'. Which as follows:
Red Magic 6, Lenovo Legion Duel 2, Xiaomi mi 11 Pro, Asus ROG 5, Black shark 4 pro?
The main problem is with software updates. From what I can find online, about 3 of the 5 phones listed, have really bad support. Pretty sure some older models are still stuck on android 9 and 10 on the global versions. While on the CN version, they are regularly updated.
So I was wondering if I could use the CN ROM instead, if support for the global ROM dont exist. If anyone with experience could share the pros and cons or insights, it would greatly appreciated.
Sorry if I sound really noob, because when it comes to mods and stuff, I have no experience at all. I would have gone the easier route with samsung, but these phones have specs that I am interested in trying out. Just that it would suck if I missed out on future android updates, like android 12 or something.
Thanks yall.

I think global roms are better than China roms here's why
First reason why global roms has google apps pre-installed
While china roms only have google apps installed on older china roms devices the newer phones with china rom does not have google apps pre-installed u could try flashing a custom rom to get google Apps pre-installed but I don't know exactly if it's gonna work
Second reason why global rom Is better is the bugs
On china rom their more bugs than global rom
Third reason why it's better is how it feels global roms feels better than China roms because global rom feels faster than China rom
