Looking to give your Galaxy Note 5’s UI a brand new touch? This is very easy now. You can easily install a ported ROM from the Galaxy S8+ on your Galaxy Note 5 and turn the things upside down for you. Dr.Ketan, famous among the Note community on the XDA Developers, has come up with his Dr.Ketan Custom ROM based on the Android Nougat from the Galaxy S8+. The ROM isn’t just simply a port of the Galaxy S8+, there’s a hefty list of features that have made it to this ROM.

Dr.Ketan has tried to modify every single element of the operating system in his custom ROM. It’s really hard to discuss all the features of this ROM, but we will try to have a look at some main features. Dr.Ketan Custom ROM for the Galaxy Note 5 has been divided into three parts.

The ROM comes with hundreds of modifications in the toggles menu only. Then comes the Tasks menu using which you can take an EFS backup of your phone, you can fix the SD card, you can flash recovery and a modem. There is a debloating tool, auto scan feature and much more.

After this comes the ROM part. In the ROM part, you can find the Quick Panel Toggles, Launcher home scroll, ROM control feature which itself has loads of features to give you a complete control over the OS of your Note 5. Dr.Ketan has also modified the behavior of the hard keys of the Galaxy Note 5. You can long press the Volume Up button to turn on the torch.

You can also change the look of the battery indicator on the phone. There are options to style your phone’s clock as well. With this ROM, you can also restrict your phone to use a particular network mode i.e. 3G, 4G or other. This feature is highly experimental though. Other than these features, this ROM comes with features like Ad-Free, 5 Way Reboot Menu, Call Recording, No SMS to MMS conversion, All Apps to Multi-Window and much more.
