For those of you looking for a versatile AOSP ROM (What is AOSP?) with multi-window and floating window like TouchWiz ROMs, definitely check out the latest SOKP ROM.
I have been a great fan of SOKP ROM ever since its birth a few years back and the latest Android 5.1.1 version for the Note 4 is better than ever. Based on latest Android 5.1.1, you will be able to enjoy pure Google Android Lollipop 5.1.1 the way it’s designed to, not a botched version it on TouchWiz.
I also recently switched back from TouchWiz Lollipop ROM to AOSP ROM because I feel like you get much faster performance and stability on latest AOSP Android 5.1.1 ROMs. The developers had a few months to work on them and now I am glad to say they are much stable than their TouchWiz counterparts (compared to 5.1.1 on my Galaxy S6).
SOKP ROM also features all of the customization options you would find in many other AOSP ROMs such as custom system animations, customized quick settings, custom status bar, custom navigation bar, etc…etc… For navigation, you will find many of familiar things like PIE Control, App Circle Bar, and Gesture Anywhere.
Overall, the latest SOKP ROM has impressed me very much and performance/battery life is also excellent so definitely give it a go if you are looking for a good Android 5.1.1 custom ROM and do let me know what you think!

Just tried flashing this on my SM-N910W8 and its complaining that I don’t have the correct hardware for the ROM itself.
This packate is for device: trltexx, trltedt; this device is trltecan.
“Error executing updater binary in zip ‘…..
Ideas?
I am Having the same issues with my T-Mobile 910T as well. Its Saying that this rom is not for my device.
Had the same problem. Go into the downloaded file on computer or phone. You can use es file explorer on phone. Go into META INF then COM the google then android then open up the file updater-script as a text document. And then delete everything up till after the first semicolon usually it will start with ifelse. Also youll need to unzip it to edit it and the zip it up and place it back. It should work once youve done this.
OK I’m going to try that now
Update? Did this work?
I tried this and it worked, but I couldn’t get the rom to notice my Sim card. I could only receive data via WiFi connection. Looking for a fix to that problem.
I had the same problem. I just flashed TWRP 2.8.6 as custom recovery (I had CWM before) .
Now, it works.
I tried this and it is NOT working. For simplicity sake can you just post the text as it should be written for a t-mobile device.
Same problem….
same issue with my SM910T anyone come up with a fix?
See my reply to james
Hey when I try to flash this using twrp on a sm 910g useing Telstra as a carrier it gets stuck on patching image unconditionally. Please help
This rom is a tritexx variant and for the SM-N910F only. Install will not work on any other device, as far as I know. It is indeed a bummer as I would hame liked to try it on my trltetmo.
Here’s the link for the TMO variant. It may also work on the Canadian, although I am not sure of that.
Hey jim Where is the link for the rom
does the pen work on this rom? And note feature work on this rom? like taking note stuff?
Anyone found a solution to the zip not being able to flash on tmobile and Canadian note 4 ?
Unfortunately the gps is not working with apps like TomTom 🙁 Please fix
For the rest an awsome rom!!!!
Hello,
The same question as Dennis….
Does the pen work on this rom? And note feature work on this rom? like taking note stuff?
Please…Thanks
Peter
Not flashing on my tmobile note 4 either!!
Just installed this Rom on my N910F but i can’t Change my Background! Everytime i Try to Set a New one there is still the old sokp Picture. Anyone Else with this Bug and who solved it?
yes you have to go to settings and change the wallpaper if you try from the home screen it reverts back to the old picture
why you don,t Supports n910c ?1
Will it work on note 3?
It seems nothing exists for the AT&T Note 4? This phone lags way too much, even after just a month from being reformatted. Does anyone know of a good option for the SM-910A? I’m not even sure if a root exists.
This would be a perfect device if only the home button responded quicker than 3 seconds.. It’s a bummer none of these roms work on the ATT.. Samsung bloatware is a joke. Can’t wait to upgrade to an Snapdragon 820 phone later this year!
Thanks for any advice!
I just flashed this ROM and it’s all set up fine. I’m not sure how to activate multi window on this. Can you please give directions for that? I don’t see anything in the settings to get that going.
***For those complaining that their installation is failing, it happened with me too. You can’t flash any lollipop (touchwiz or AOSP) ROM if you’re still on KitKat. First you have to either take the OTA and get on Lollipop or flash the latest .tar file through Odin to get to lollipop. Then once you’re all set up you can flash this, or any other (AOSP or touchwiz based) ROM and it will boot up just fine.
You wrong I could do that with different ROM like Echoe but it has a lot of crap on it. But I’m looking if any ROMs fixed the GPS problems on NOTE 4…….
I tried to flash on my Sprint Note 4……..and it failed all 5 times that I tried. In the video, you stated that it would install on ANY Qualcomm-based Note 4. Is there something that I need to do to prep my Note 4 BEFORE flashing…???
Please help…..
the answer is up top. read the first three comments. had the same problem til i edited the zip and re zipped it
I flashed this SOKP ROM with SM-N910G in Singapore & a message “Unfortunately, Exchange Services has stopped” pop up very often which is very annoying! I did flash with crDroid & CM ReMix ROMs with result the same! How do I fix it?
I have problem with camera isiue
Doesn’t work with the 910T varient. Sim card isn’t recognized and misc services force close. My baseband is updated and every precaution has been taken. Don’t use for the Tmobile variant.
WTF… Trying to install this Rom on my Not 4
WTF…Trying to install this Rom on my Note 4 …W8 and I get the same problem as above. Is there any support with this ROM or is it dead?
This site is dead…over a month a no new rom!
i get an E: error executing updater binary in zip file location how do i fix this ?
Is this rom Sprint compatible?
Hey guys, go to the SOKP web site and get the latest rom for your specific model. I downloaded one for my T-Mobile Note 4 and no issues so far. No problems with the flash and works well.
