Note 4 Developer Edition Clarification - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Rom / mod question

Why is it that the Verizon note 4 has custom roms and kernels but we don't have any at all for at&t?
It seems like the rooted ROMs for the Verizon Note 4 are for the developer edition which has an unlockable boot loader.

[Q] Developers Edition ROM Question - N910VOYU1ANJ5

Hello all,
The Baseband on my Note 4 is N910VOYU1ANJ5. However, I don't see any ROMs that are marked with "N910VOYU1ANJ5"
Does this mean that I cannot flash any of these ROMs to my developers edition Note 4?
There's developers that could use your help if your willing to offer your services over here and they maybe could answer your questions also

You can make your own nandroid backup at least I guess. In terms of roms being made for your phone, might have to wait until the non-developer Verizon Note 4 is rooted for there to be a larger community of people making roms.
Hopefully once the AT&T Note 4 phone and Verizon Note 4 phone get rooted it won't be that hard to make use of what people have done for the T-Mobile and Sprint ones.

There are a few for baseband NJ5...Definitive in the Vzw development thread and over in the T-Mobile dev thread there is a version of Firekat for Verizon.

[Q] Stock Android for Note 4?

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

Globally sim unlocked n910p, looking for a good unbloated/unbranded/fast minimal ROM.

I'd like to first point out that I use T-Mobile as my carrier.
I had a Sprint S5 unlocked with the same method (Idoneapps global sim unlock) and I was able to flash my gn900p with gn900f ROMS, and it worked great. However haven't attempted to flash my Sprint note 4 n910p with a n910f rom - I read it would brick my Note 4 so havent tried. I did however flash my sprint note 4 with ROM][AOSP][UNOFFICIAL][RESURRECTION REMIX v5.6.5] TRLTESPR MM 6.0.1 [03/23/16] and I couldn' get a network signal and was unable to get into the hidden menu no matter what I tried. Is it possible to flash my Note 4 n910p with a n910f or even a n910t ROM (since I use tmobile)? Or if not possible, how would I get RESURRECTION REMIX v5.6.5 to work with my tmobile sim?
As it stands now I have my sprint note 4 running the latest OBAR ROM, and honestly every thing works pretty good with my tmobile sim. Id just prefer a more minimal Rom, I dont care about s-pen or heartbeat monitor etc., I never ever use that stuff.
Thanks for any input
CM 13 with Slim G-Apps. Daily driver, zero issues. Make sure you use the recommended baseband.
How did you get you n910p globally unlocked?

unlocking att version and using tmobile rom?

Hi All!
I really want the note 5 rom. I have the att note 3. Curious, if I unlock my att to be able to be used on tmobile, will I be able to use the note 5 rom made for the tmobile note 3?
TIA
If the phone has a lockd bootloader, you cannot install cwm or twrp. You could use safestrap to install a custom rom but the custom rom cannot be based on cm or aosp. A note 5 ported for use on a note 3 may not work on the att version of the note 3.
