porting is very different from source building.....the only reason you would need to dl the cm sources would be to compile the rom using sources...and right now the note 4 has none we would need device,kernel,common,vendor sources for that....so... we cant source build right now only port....sp what we need to do is research which device officially or unofficially that has cm with same specs as the note4 things like screen size, board, things of that nature....and would highly recommend using the same carrier as well.....but once we have that info....dl that phones cm rom zip....dl one of our phones rom zips.....now for the fun....ill lay out a way i did it maybe is the same still ...

place both cm zip and note 4 zip on desktop..

create a new folder call it new

drag all files from the cm zip into the new

open the new and open the note 4 zip have them side by side

now your going to drag pretty much all folders/files from the note 4 system folder into the new sytsem folder one folder at a time excluding:

app,priv-app,etc,fonts,media,framework,xbin (im probably forgetting one or two but has been a long time)

now the fun begins....time to edit some xmls and trial and error on pretty much everything until it is working right

you are also going to want to change out the kernel and have to edit the updater-script in the meta-inf....

im positive im forgetting a few things but this is pretty much what i can remember......from off the top of my head...some of the guides ill link in a bit will go into greater detail and explain things more in depth



a few links ive had bookmarked that will help ya
