So we all know that Samsung is not gunna release the Android L update for note 4 anytime soon, and I'm getting sick of touchwiz already. I mean, no release date and no news for this update, its disappointing. And honestly, I like stock android so much better
So
Is there any kind of rom, or anything I and many other could do to really get stock android on the Sprint Note 4? I'm dying for stock android on my note 4.
Samsung released L to the carriers a while ago. Its the carriers that are holding everything up.
If you are on sprint then just root and do whatever you want to it. Sprint is not locked down like Verizon and ATT.
You may want to check out the Sprint Note 4 forums.
But is there a way where I can get Stock Android on the note 4?

Yes, if you have an unlocked boot-loader with sprint or T-mobile for example, you can install CM12 which is lollipop.

I've seen this, but how does it work? For example, I don't exactly know how it works when it means to install "GApps". Is there a tutorial on Cyanogen 12 that shows how to do all this? And also, how does the nightly system work? Isn't it a lot of work to reflash Cyan 12 every night?
I'm new to the whole Cyanogen mod, so any help will be much appreciated

Hi, I recently bought a new Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100. It based on Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2.
I know the newer upgrades are available. But the problem is, why does my Galaxy Note II always show a dialog box telling that the latest update has been installed? Is there any way to solve the problem? Note: If possible, I want the update by using my Galaxy Note II only. Thank you
thats the latest for n7100...
4.3 are only leaked firmware and still in development.. so we need to wait till its been officially released by samsung for OTA upgrade.

Hey Guys, there is something I've never been clear about. My Note 2 is an international unlocked version. I'm using it on T-Mobile, will I be able to get the latest OS from T-mobile for my International version? Or, do I need to go to a Samsung website?
I always check the updates and it says I'm up to date, but I really would like 4.2 for mirror display capability. How do people get the latest OS? Like Kit Kat? Do you have to wait for t-mobile? Can you get it else where?
Please advise, thanks!

I think the latest update is on 4.3 because Samsung skipped the 4.2 update due to too many bugs report, and rumors about 4.4 is coming out late March. You can use Odin to update your device to 4.3 or you can go to the international Note 2 and get some custom roms that runs 4.4 kit kat

Latest version is indeed 4.3, rumors of the Tmobile note 4.4 update has been pushed back to April/May, most likely in between then. You can find many stock roms on this site, check out the android develepment section of the forum, you can even find some 4.4 roms if you'd like. Good luck!
Is it ever going to be updated to Android 4.4.2 at least, because I know the Sprint Version of the Tab 3 7 did?
yes

I would like some clarification on the note 4 SM-910v Developer Edition. It is rooted, TWRP installed, backups made (aboot, and system).
1. Is it safe to flash CM12, Beanstalk, or other custom roms? I have seen them listed for other models of the Note 4 but never the 910v. I assume that is because 90% of Verizon note 4's have locked bootloaders.
2. Is it possible to safely install a Lollipop touchwiz versionn? I know there is a polish and possibly German version out that is 5.0. Also does that give rise to any concern about locking the bootloader?
Your all's help is much appreciated.

1. Yes, you can flash any of the custom ROMs.
2. There are currently no TW Lollipop ROMs for our device.

Thanks for answer.
After years of complaining about touchwiz on other devices, I actually like and use a lot of the note 4 touchwiz features.
I wouldn't want to lose multiwindow or S pen, so touchwiz for me.
Be careful flashing "any" ROM...you may need a different kernel for a foreign or other carrier's build...if it will boot at all. There is a working version of CM12 in the development thread and there are a few other 4.4.4 ROMs there and one FireKat 4.4.4 build specific to Verizon in the T-Mobile dev thread.
fyi i ran cm12 (beanstalk) for a day and it was butter. few issues with data dropping that was why i left but i will try again one day it was sweet

If it is a VZW Note 4 DE that you bought straight from Samsung...the bootloader is unlocked.

I'd firstly like to state I am new to the forums, and give my thanks to brilliant people who give guys like me somewhere to turn. Now, my question is, is it possible to downgrade from MM PJ1 to OGG or OJ1 or lollipop in general. I've seen a similiar thread about a UAE version or somethung that said it was possible. I have successfully downgraded a Note 3 from lollipop to kitkat, which has locked bootloader too if I'm correct..?, but I would like to have any input before I do this as it is my main phone. Thanks!
yes it is possible.

So in theory, i could downgrade to Lollipop and use the kernal auto-root to possibly get rotot? I just got an HTC 10 so I'm really itching to mess around with that s6 Edge Plus. Lol.
