That depends on the bootloader you end up with. Pray it's not greater than OB7. Noterized can be flashed on the newer bootloaders so you could run deodexed with Xposed with that. You wouldn't be able to go backwards to KitKat. There's also CM12.Thanks. So if I update the baseband yet keep the old bootloader, I can still run the newer ROMs ? What happens if I were to just flash TWRP custom recovery without updating the baseband or bootloader and flash like this ROM for example? Will the voice/data/wifi not work ? The Note 4 may have some old software possibly out of the box. We'll see, I'm eligible for an upgrade already. I'm not keen on the sealed battery/no SD card in the Note 5, so moving forward beyond the Note 4 I may have to look at other products like LG.
You're much freer to move backwards with the older bootloaders. That gives you a wider variety of TW ROMs to choose.
