I tried the Note 5/S6 Edge+ rom when it first came out. Features worked but it was laggy. Is it still like that? How do you deal with it.
But I'll say this. Touchwiz is getting better. Slowly.

Question of the Day: If you were buying a TV today, which brand would you choose?
But I'll say this. Touchwiz is getting better. Slowly.

How is the Note 3 on lollipop? Worth the upgrade from kit kat?

A lot better and smoother. Used a official L rom for note 3, had note 4 L port for awhile and now on Note 5 L port. Lollipop is definitely worth the upgrade.

And battery life? Better? Same? Worse??

Note 5 port is stil early days, cant really say.
Battery life depends on how the user uses his phone, what apps he has installed, signal strength and so on... no 2 persons battery life will be the same.
On average lollipop has had better battery for me.

I've seen people's battery's range from 12hr screen on to 7hrs to the more *normal* 3.5/4hrs.
All depends on usage. Clash of Clans murders my battery.

Are you guys referring to the performance and experience using stock Samsung lollipop 5.0?
Heard there were a few battery issues and there have been no update released since so how did you deal with that?

Nope. At least not for me. I am on Note 5 port lollipop 5.1.1.
Can say that even on stock note 3 lollipop it was better kitkat.

Then it's not really the Lollipop part of your install that's giving you the awesome battery life!
Who can report back on how stock lollipop 5.0 is, batter life and speed especially?

I am hoping that the other posters above were referring to stock 5.0 compared to stock kit kat.
Kind of true. But these apps were also on my KK roms as well. Battery life is such a subjective thing.
1 - Do you leave your GPS on or off?
2 - Is your Wifi on all the time?
3 - Do you use TBO apps + dark themes? AMOLED screens save battery on black.
4 - Screen brightness. Is it set to low or adaptive? Adaptive isn't good.
5 - Screen time out should be 30 sec.
6 - Vibrate / Haptic Feedback set to low and short.
7 - App (auto) Sync kills data and battery.
8 - Widgets syncing are battery killers.
9 - Are all your apps updated? Updates have optimizations.
10 - Ok Google anywhere - Massive battery killer.
These are the main battery killers I can think of. It all depends on your set up. When I do have a sweet set up (Cos I update the Rom sometimes with dirty flashes and it messes sh*t up) overnight I lose 0% battery. Yes 0%.
On TW you must set all those gimmicky features off as well. If you want smooth/faster performance go into developer options and drop the animation scale to 0.5x. Can also try using Nova Launcher.
