I think it has potential but there's a few things that I don't care for...the predefined settings vs open options...and all the themes are "locked" ...paid themes...cool animations and I like a few of the ideas it had flipping random panels for home screens but it's not one I think I would use...if reminds me of next launcher 3d alot really cool ideas that don't work as well in real life for my use that is

Setting Up (again)

Following Mutant's lead. On v4, restoring my 213 apps with Tibu (no data) and about 10 apps that are a pain to set up (with data). Freezing about 85 apps, including almost everything Samsung related. Moving Google+ and Chrome (along with some others) to user apps so I can Greenify them. Changing bootanimation and sounds. Adding data and wifi hotspot toggles. Setting up about 12 xposed modules, including Gravity Box, XBlast and Wanam (the non-KK version) for theming, App Ops and App Settings for tweaking and more. Opening my restored apps that need passwords and putting them in. Setting wallpaper and lockscreen images....and more I no doubt have forgotten and hopefully will remember.

Good thing my work schedule is flexible. :)

Looking forward to putting v4 through its paces, and particularly checking out the screen-on battery time. Thanks again, Mega, for all you do for us!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Well the feedback seems good lol...seems like v4 finally took the crown from V15. ..all i know is that as soon as it booted up and I swiped around i started the upload lol

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No that's sim locked...but my strait talk sim works fine since that's "att"....but no you need an unlock code for using something like tmo sim card ...you can buy the codes online

Reinstated power saving but i completely rebuilt it haha

Mega
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] uplift777:
Okay so leave power savings on now, Mr Mega :confused:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mutantblack:
I would suggest don't ever restore any data with TiBu. You will have some sort of issues or battery drain or whatever problem. But if all is working then good for you. I avoid at all cost lol. Used to restore everything until Mega scolded me for doing that Lmao.

gotta let it settle but one thing I noticed immediately is it seems faster than V3 right off the bat and camera definitely faster.

too late to let you know wince you are on KK already but I used "region lock away" on JB rom to unlock the sim with MI9 firmware and my phone is unlock. I haven't checked if it works still after upgraded to KK. I will have to test it out.

Powersaving works now? I just turned it on and the screen doesn't seem to go a bit dimmer like on JB. What did you do? You know I like to use that feature huh? Lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No not at all. .. If you want the battery life my ROMs give no don't use it... I only added it back for people that prefer stock battery life like black lmao

Mega
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
A little a this a little a that lol. .. you probably want to steer clear of it tbh because I rebuilt a large chunk of the pm system but it still has some serious kk weirdness...but if you use it at least your phone will still somewhat function unlike stock ps when it was like slamming the cpu into a wall

Mega
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
What's the verdict fellas...v3 or v4? Lol

Mega
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Hey dude what's the comparison for speed and battery life of v4 vs vs 1 and v2...you has mind blowing benchmarks on v1...In your experience what's been the fastest feeling...and what's had the best battery? Thanks dude

Mega
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mutantblack:
Thx Mega. I won't use it then. It's all good.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Honestly thats prolly best but if you want to just compare the two states and see...leave it off for 2 charges till things settle and then flick it on for a day and test it...I honestly don't know exactly how it runs under ps now after redoing it I just know it won't be like stock kk which I literally disabled to stop people thinking it was my rom haha or as invisible as jb was.

Mega
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] imnew214:
Your question about what version I got best performance, for me it was v2. Battery life for me v3 was the best but I didn't lose much performance between the v2 and v3. Downloading v4 now. Thanks bro.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Ok awesome...I'm trying to get some feedback from you guys that have run all the builds to see which way to head with v5 for the next build...this to me should run about as fast as v2 but with better battery life than all 3 earlier kk builds...without being on fk I didn't realize how extreme the difference of battery was from firenote so I think I got it worked out or at least close...you'll have to let me know after you get up and running and get settle in to v4 thanks dude for the feedback

Mega
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Zugshad:
Ok here is my input. I personally have not run into any issues restoring apps and data for the most part. Mega and I have gone on and on about it. The only time I can truly think of a problem was if restoring a save from odex to a deodex or vice versa. That is really it.

Here is my suggestion (can be painful but should work) restore what you want with tibu with data. At most you might have to use the tb restore fixer app to fix any fc, but once that is done I have no issues. I've posted screen shots and shown that I suffer no battery loss or have any fc. Now if you do run into issues and that app doesn't fix, then all you need to do is a clean flush one more and then don't do the app+data and then see how it goes. If nothing wrong and you are doing the same settings you know it was the restore. If you set it up the samw and do you know it's one of your apps.

But life said I personally don't and I restore a few with data and no problems. Mainly only do for apps with data I don't want lost. Some apps I can just install from site and is back to same...

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
First off thanks for the feedback and info...but I wanna clear something up before this goes on...it's not that I am against titanium whatsoever...I was one of the first people to ever download it and buy the pro apk...put it in roms ect...my issues are the fact that it's become a game of chance to use and I don't like that...my look on things is after 4.2 when it was fully functional just clean install apps or if you have extremely important data use the rom your currently on until it's no longer so imperative to transfer the data...my Outlook is like why run a rom that's been completely overhauled for speed and battery then intentionally do something to degrade it's performance lol...if they update tb or update the patch fix for kk I is consider supporting their restores...but I can't in good conscious recommend something that works when it wants to to several thousand people that watch every single word i say lol so the perspective is a little different when I make any recommendations or troubleshoot I have that to consider as well...I've been trying to find a restore app that works in kk but all I've heard of is helium...maybe you guys know another one for me to try and make a gear manager restore kit? I just wanted to clarify as I do appreciate the feedback from anyone who's tried to do the restore with it I hope they update it finally

Mega
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Zugshad:
Yeah I understand mega. From a Dev perspective I can see why. I am probably just one of the few lucky ones. Now in Kk, I did notice a restore of data in a game reset it to nothing, so guessing due to change from jb to Kk, something changed and it didn't like it. What I need to test is backing up on Kk and restoring and see what happens. Could be a Kk mainly issue.

K so home and time to DL v4

Ohh.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mutantblack:
All in all, I agree with you guys. I am in the same boat. Hate/Love TiBu. When it works, it works beautifully. When it doesn't, it gives me headache. But I really can't live without it. I use it to freeze app, convert system app to user app etc and TiBu makes it so easy. With TiBu fix, it works now great. I am always in favor of TiBu and it works great in KK as well. This is my opinion but it will be vary to others.

Mega, I have tried helium, it doesn't work for me at all. "App Backup & Restore" works but have to install one at a time. "My Backup Pro" works then again hit or miss. Worse than TiBu. The search continues...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] rogerinnyc:
Titanium

Totally get what both Zugs and Mega have said about Tibu. I think the restore is helped if you start from a clean, stock NC2 and then go to FK. I also have three categories of apps: 1. paid apps (or apps with built-in purchases) that need to be re-downloaded from Play to work -- a Tibu restore won't work because of the licensing issues (examples for me are Crosswords, Link Bubble Pro, Tom Tom USA, Maildroid, Textmaker, Papyrus, Greenify donation, Solid Explorer unlocker; 2. a handful of apps where I desperately want to restore data (e.g., games, but also apps like Authenticator which are a pain to set up and have no built-in backup option); and 3. all other apps, which either are easy to set up or let you back-up first (e.g., Wanam, GravityBox, AppSettings, MultiWindow Mgr. etc.).

With FireKat, I have not had to use TB Fixer at all and have had no FCs, FWIW. By contrast, I did try out DK 4.1 earlier (I think before FKv3 came out) -- it's a great, nicely themed rom and Bri's a great developeer -- definitely worth trying when you have some time (although I would restore to NC2 stock first for best results), but Tibu worked very poorly on it -- freezing when restoring multiple apps and requiring TB Fixer for apps restored with data. So, in my experience, at least, Tibu works differently on different KK roms. So far, it seems to like FK! YMMV.

Mega, running v4 now -- too soon to compare battery to v3 and earlier versions -- although my first impression on the speed front is that v3 might have been a tiny bit faster (although maybe that's because I haven't adjusted the animation scales yet). Certainly, I thought v3 was an improvement over v1 and v2 on both battery and speed fronts.

Do you still recommend unticking "Force GPU Rendering" in Developer Options for speed, or was that just for FN and your JB roms?

EDIT: Completely agree with Mutant's assessment of Helium and My Backup Pro. Have both, have used both, and have abandoned both in favor of Tibu, which, as Mutant says, is great when it decides to work!

Mega
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Face_Plant:
One thing I would recommend is turning off fast charging and charging your phone from your PC/laptop/whatever you have that'll charge your phone slowly for the first week or so. I used fast charging right out of the box before my battery was broken in and now it performs half as good as it should. If you charge your phone at night like most people do you don't need it to charge 50% in 30 minutes.

Save fast charging for emergencies like you passed out drunk and forgot to plug in your phone and wake up late and have to be at work in an hour. Plug in your phone, shower, make some breakfast, take a dump, whatever your morning routine is and grab your phone on the way out the door. It'll be juiced up enough to last you the day. Other than situations like that I recommend leaving it off unless you like buying new batteries every month.

The Note 4 isn't a huge mega leap forward from the Note 3, but there are some noticeable improvements (mostly the camera). In my opinion the Note 4 is one of the last great phones. Pretty soon all flagship phones will start coming from the factory with Lollipop and ruin our ability to mold our phones into what they should be and not what Samsung/AT&T thinks is best for us. I'd snag one with 4.4.4 while you still can.

FireKatV15N3 (FireGearV16)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jim256:
Yeah, the upgrading and downgrading definitely confused me (obviously).

I also agree that something wasn't adding up.

So it looks like im still running MLG. That probably explains why I can't ever run V15. Why I can be on V14 though still confuses me.

About Device screen: https://docs.google.com/a/jcgadgets.com/file/d/0B24JhQg1Jo3MY2UwU3JxRElyRG8/edit?usp=docslist_api

Two questions based off that...

1. I'm assuming that running on MLG but on an NC2 ROM was probably giving me at least some speed / battery / bug issues?

2. Butchie - what made you want to be on JB so much again? What would I really be giving up by going to NC2 and not being able to go back?

Any other comments?

Sorry about the ghetto way I shared the image...it's late and I did it from my freshly flashed phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] butchieboy:
I was a big fan of Jellybean. I have been following Mega since Note 3 burst onto the scene so I was lucky enough to know how good his early Jellybean roms were. Then once the updates started coming once Mega decided he was going to Kitkat loyal followers of his roms decided to make the jump. At the time Kitkat didnt offer much over Jellybean but once Mega got his hands on Kitkat that all changed. So to answer your question it was just a personal thing I wanted..I enjoyed the Jellybean roms and saw that Mega was still building for those still on 4.3 and I wanted to give the new roms a try and was lucky enough to find a Note 3 on JB. Its up to you im not going to sat no stay on Jellybean or go to kitkat..you cant go wrong with either as long as Mega is leading the way...I just love Jellybean.

Side by side MJ5 compared to NC2 there is a difference. On Megas Firekat the screen is a lil brighter then Firenote the colors are brighter.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol no worries man...tbh firenote and firekat are pretty similar as you can see just between say stock 4.3 and the mlg stock setup...as for booting and issues xyz with firekat on mlg yea def...you shouldn't have any issues tbh that's why I'm trying to get your system sorted...but given your in a pretty lucky situation being able to go back to 4.3...the last few firenote builds will probably be some of the fastest roms of all my builds on n3 just because the animations of 4.3 were snappy an sharp vs kk has smooth and drawn out animations...they'd be like where fk is just reaching now...butch can tell you more as I'm Goin off memories and appx

You just need to figure out which direction you wanna go...the firekat builds are great and run hand in hand with my 50k antutu firekat n4 builds but you have the option either way...and firekat/kk will always be there waiting
