Note 4 - Ahead of its Time

[melmc1403]

This two year old phone continues to impress me. When it first arrived it was a bit hit and miss.
Things like the replaceable battery, IR and microSD slot really improve flexibility, but battery life was all over the place, and performance was patchy. The build quality and screen quality remain very good. Subsequent updates improved the performance greatly for me.

I have now flashed it and installed Cyanogenmod a.k.a Android 7.1.1 and this has freed the device from Samsung's clutches (note: no S-Pen, never use it). The phone flies now.

In a few months, my Note 4's contract will run out and a replacement will be sought, as its a work phone. However, comparing handset specs of the Note 4 side by side with things like the Pixel XL or Huawei P10 Plus, for a two year old device, the Note 4 stacks up very well IMO.

I think it was ahead of its time when it was released.

I can't give you the files, sorry. Everything you need is easy to find and download, but start by watching a few YouTube videos on the subject. Its not an 'upgrade' to 7.1.1. You have to be comfortable with wiping your device, installing a new boot manager and installing the new OS from there.
