My contract is finished on the 24th- yippee.
As the Note 4 will not get Nougat o/s, I am going to root the thing and get another rom on it.

Is there any problem with bootlocker on this phone ?
Will the SPen still work- not seen any mention of that on drop down lists of ckntents.???

I have seen roms that supposedly make the Note 4 like S7 Edge.
Just getting all the downloads together at this time.
Thanks.

Gregg, let me know how you get on , I am looking at the Emotion ROM, but unsure at the moment. Phil
p.s. I believe that the S Pen doesn't work on some ROM's, just a thought.

Hi Phil,
S-Pen is supposed to work with Emotion rom- but unsure about bootloaders . Many youtube vids never mention them- thats why I have not gone further .
XDA seem to think Kingroot is ok now, but a while ago in this forum it was a no no.
Thanks,
Greg

Hi, you can load TWRP before you root, rooting is extremely easy with CF, but please make sure you have the correct Autoroot file or you can brick your phone, if you are in any doubt post your model number, country and carrier and I will check for you. Come back if you need a how to on rooting, I will try to help. When you root without loading a different ROM the phone is just as it was before only you have the power to delete files and apps you wouldn't be able to otherwise. Phil

Hi Phil,
I had the right file, but thanks for the check.
The vid that I wanted to put up was from xda tv chappie- in that he rooted first, then flashed twrp.
I have the Emotion rom and mini Gapps in root directory of sd card already, so will do the root tonight.
I have 2 S3's running Lineage Nougat 7.1.2. One I use when out on motorbike, cos Note 4 is too big for pocket, lol.
Where are you from ? From Wales, me.

Hi Phil,
My Note 4 is rooted, recovery on and backed up.
Phone charging at mo, but when up a bit more, I will copy backup to pc and a usb stick and then flash Emotion rom and MINI gapps.
I have chosen Mini gapps so I don't have all of google junk which I have never used before. As long as it has Playstore, I can get the rest.
Thanks for your help and time
Greg :D:D:D
