[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:

Upgrading from note 3 but note 3 seems like a replica phone near it looks and feels great in hand. if u say touchwiz not laggy phone not heating(exynos note 3 was heating alot) And battery is good im definetly going for it
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
And thing that keeps annoying me is Facebook apl. Even if you disable the app in settings it will still update itself. How the hell they made it?!

So basically they are forcing you to have the app even if you disable it. God bless root and uninstall option.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Fade777:
Hey DelBoy,

Have you noticed any screen throttling?

say after 15min of use on a game or something?

Thanx in advance.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Stigga:
Man I hope I can root the Att version.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ipsuvedi:
Hi DelBoy,

First of all thanks for opening this thread and clearing all kind of confusions.

This is really more than review. I read almost 3 reviews, but your thread is really the best informative. Because in your thread there is practical usage review. As result I am now almost satisfied with Note 4.

Keep it up and keep posting new infos. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] joelteixeira:
+1 really thanks for all your patience. ☺
[Galaxy Note 4 General] BigJPNut:
After my hands on Best Buy test and this thread, the Note 4 is now ordered in charcoal black!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] infamousjax:
DelBoy -- tell us more about the Note 4!

All my specific questions have already been answered, but I want to read more! I need my craving itched. :)

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Vangelis13:
Does one ever get used of using touchwiz instead of aosp..? ?

You mentioned about root & removing Facebook; is there a root method already..?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] railshot:
Because Google flat out said that they want to get rid of expandable storage because it confuses the morons erm.. users who can't tell the difference between external and internal memory. Their recent "feature" that is preventing apps from writing to the SD card is part of the plan. Google is slowly turning into Apple.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
Nothing, screen was acting normal. No glitches or anything.

I have played only Beach buggy and Asphalt 8 so maybe that is not enough to say, but there was no problem.

Played Asphalt for like 30-40 minutes(got hooked, last time I played it was Asphalt 4 on Nokia symbin :D) and screen was normal.

Thank you mate.

I am just answering the questions.

I would say it is good choice. If size does not matter you I hooe you will enjoy

Just ask :D

Dont know really what to tell :D

Maybe I know, S Healt is not counting steps right :D

I am getting used to TW, but in future I will change it I believe. Aosp is aosp and I believe it would be even faster then TW now. And TW is fast now.

And to your second question. I was more referring on when it comes someday.

For now there is no method I believe.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gabrielgon:
You can see how the score went down! Willing to see how the snap version handles intensive use.

Man, you have indeed done an outstanding job! You are the man! Thanks a lot for all your help! :highfive:

Hi DelBoy - When you set an alarm and the time is close to the the alarm - does the note 4 display a dismiss notification in the notification panel?

Hello DelBoy I am very curious about the 4k amoled screen is there a noticeable sharpness watching Netflix or YouTube 4k videos?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Trev420:
its not 4k as far as i know. I believe it is technically 2k.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
Nope, there is no notification.

Netflix is not available in my countra so I would not know.

And screen is 2k.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pcman2000:
2.5k, 2k is ~1080p
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Lodix:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] han4mi:
If you're interested in the performance of the s805 version just check out the comparision between the regular galaxy s5 and the lte-a version which has the same specs as the note 4. Seems really good to me!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
S5 lte-a has 1080p screen if im not wrong
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Lodix:
It has a 2k display.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
Gsmarena info is wrong i guess.i checked from there but it says 1080p anyway if u know its np
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Lodix:
It is the info of what the international version of the S5-LTE advanced should have been.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
Hmm good to know then i was skipping reviews of it cuz it has 1080p but if its 2k screen it has same gpu scores with malit760 on 2k screen then they both perform same on gpu wise and exynos is better on cpu thanks for info
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Lodix:
No problem.

What's the current rating of the charger that came with the N4? Does '0 to 50 in 30min' charge work with a non Samsung 2A charger?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
By rating you mean exactly what? :D

Stock charger is fast, especially when fastcharga is enabled.

And I must say cahrger cable(USB) is good build quality.

I dont have any non Samsung 2A charger so cant tell.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] :
Do you think the sticking out camera is an issue in regard of durability?

I'm wondering if the Note jiggles when laying it on a table and typing?

Does the notification LED shine bright enough in lighter conditions?

I'm reading contrary info about QI. Does it support wireless charging?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Stroved:
I believe the Note 4 can support wireless charging if you get the wireless charging back like the S4/S5 (?). Samsung don't build it right in as far as I know.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dawheat:
One thing that's annoyed me is that timers get cancelled if you close all apps. Doesn't happen on CM or other AOSP based ROMs.

Can you set a timer (doesn't matter how long) and then close all apps. Does the timer still countdown or was it closed?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] joelteixeira:
Thanks for the tip, I had never tried this before. I confirm the timer works flawlessly on moto g after close all apps. I'm also curious now to see if the behaviour is the same on note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gabrielgon:
Had never heard of it or encountered the problem. This is clearly a mistake so the note must not have the problem.

---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

That's for sure! I'm trying to figure out how much throttle the exynos version has under pressure to find out why some people are getting so low scores on GPU benchs.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] robertc88:
I preordered charcoal black. Before I did I had some time with it at BB.

I enabled developer options and dumped the animations to zero and lowered running processes to only two. The device is in demo mode at BB and this made switching, open and closing apps much smoother with basically very very little lag if one wants to call it that. Maybe I'll do Nova Launcher and set to"faster than light" next go round.

I installed Real Racing 3 and it looked gorgeous and no lag whatsoever.

I also installed Smash Hit. I nailed 40 crystals in a row and never did that before on any device. And got my highest progress ever, the touch control was ming boggling smooth and great.

I wanted to walk out of the store with the demo. Fat chance. Can't wait. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ipmanwck:
Please try recording video in 4k and 1080p and let us know if the ois behaves any different. I heard that the ois does not work with 4k. Is that true. Thank you.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] joelteixeira:
OIS it's a hardware feature. It will work with any resolution.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gabrielgon:
The OIS is hardware and is always there no matter what option you select.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rocer:
Just meant the current rating on the charger. 1.5 amp, 2 amp, 2.1 amp etc. Wasn't sure if the fast charge was being done by a new higher amperage charger. Didn't realize the fast charge was something that can be enabled in the phone. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lee harvey:
My S5 has been putting itself into silent mode after each reboot. Other posts have mentioned sound profile apps, so I disabled Mr Silent app but that doesnt seem to be the issue. Phone, notification and system volume go to zero shortly after reboot and I get a "Google Play services have stopped" message (not sure if that is related). I am rooted running exposed modules. I am running OBB on SD so I am wondering if a sound profile has been moved- some posts have referenced default sounds replancing custom sounds when used. Checked setting in Wanam and Gravity box and thats not it. I have to go into the settings and manually turn up ringer and system sounds. Any ideas? Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:

[HTC One X] rubendayal:
Hi All,

I rooted my One X a couple of months ago and have been using the CM11 ROM. And have been fighting the issues that came with it. With just stability in mind, I have been for the last few days trying to go back to stock and update to the OTA for Jelly bean. But after figuring out the right RUU.exe file with respect to my CID, I have been having troubles with completing the installation process where the RUU.exe fails due to compatibility issues with my bootloader version.

I dont want to keep messing around with my phone anymore and have decided to simply instal the most stable jelly bean ROM. I would prefer the to use a original HTC OTA version. But then I always run in to issues installing it. I have so many versions of it downloaded and tried that I am tired of it quite frankly.

Could you folks suggest the best way out?

Many thanks!
[HTC One X] Angelo37:
ARHD-MaximusHD-ViperX with AlexV kernel
[HTC One X] Thant:
no moust stable try and take decision
[HTC One X] rubendayal:
SOLVED!!

Thank you guys.

I was finally able to flash ARHD (the odexed version) from here. But there were some unclear instructions on the wipe data (AROMA) in the description by ARHD team. And the phone was simply in boot loop after I flashed the ROM.

So I applied the process from my last experience with CM11:

- and went back to recovery

- wiped factory data

- then wiped Delavik Cache

- and rebooted.

And it all worked like a charm. But in the ROM pack the superuser binary didn't work as normal. So was not able to use Titanium backup to retrieve my backed up files. So I read up a bit more and found the latest SuperSU.zip file and manually flashed via CWM recovery. And now I have superuser access and have been able to make everything work fine.

However, the OTA system update doesnt allow me to carry out a system update. Saying the copy of the ROM is not the regular one and I must reach out to HTC support for help. Guessing that's just normal as this is a custom ROM.

Well, apart from that all's good for now.

Hopefully the above will be helpful to others that decide to flash their One X with a latest Jelly Bean update.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevey500:
Coming from running Cyanogenmod for a couple of years now on previous devices, holding off from running Cyanogenmod until majority of kinks are worked out for the S5.

I have been editing the notification/quick-settings panel on my TW interface on my S5 to remove the piles of samsung functions/toggles that I could care less about and was very successful at it and I nearly have it looking AOSP/CM like including retrieving Hotspot, Mobile data, and Torch toggle back, so that's nice.

I do miss the ability to swipe down on either the right or left-hand side of the notification tray on AOSP/CM setup. I am wondering if any of you know if it's just a basic SQlite entry in the settings storage that can be entered to enable this feature.

I'd really appreciate any help with this, this is a great modification to making TW rom installations function more streamline and AOSP Android-like.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] FunkyRasta:
Hi there,

This thread is an experiment, so far no "best ROM" threads were allowed on XDA. They've all led to flaming and mindless fanboyism. So to keep this clean, here's what a good post would look like:

[Name of the rom you're talking about, preferably link to the thread]

[How long have you been using it, with what kernel, how you use your phone]

[Pros of the ROM, features you use ( etc. Active Display, Locksreen Notifications)]

-

-

-

[Cons of the Rom]

-

-

-

[Few words from you, overall experience]

[Eventually, comparison with other ROM you used]

BTW: No need to use brackets, they're there to show you the layout. KEEP POSTS CLOSE TO THE LAYOUT !

MOST IMPORTANT THING : Things like " this rom sucks !!! it lags like hell !! battery drain !! Oh god it's so bad" are NOT a good criticism ! GOOD criticism would be "CPU keeps being stuck at low frequency sometimes, there's no trace of it in logs, I've checked my wakelocks but battery is still poor" . If you say " This rom is unstable" say what bugs you encoutered ! If you say "it has many great features ", say what features you use !

The point of this thread is to let other users know what to expect of each ROM, let them see differences between them. Not to make them confused because everyone says "XYZ is the best !! flash itt !!! "

Seriously guys... Don't write anything like this... just don't.

Be good users and thread is here to stay, be reckless and it will be prohibited once more ! Also, our device ROMs only !
[LG Optimus 4X HD] FunkyRasta:
So lemme start ;)

Official Cyanogenmod 11 nightlies

I've been using it for around month now, with stock kernel, updating daily with every nightlie.

Pros:

-The most stable ROM for me. It has much less freezes and lags then other. Basically my phone dislikes p880-dev based ROMs, I believe it is faulty, other user report no such problems as mine.

-No CPU cores freezing at minimum frequiency ( again , problem that seems to affect me and only me :/ )

-Fast unlock times

-Demetris is doing hell of job, nearly every nightly updates kernel for our device with serious tweaks and fixes !

-For me, not even a single bug found !

Cons:

-Not the most feature rich, but has the basics

-No crazy optimization (Linaro, -O3, custom toolchains etc) but this is a minor thing, not really noticable

So I've been using this because my phone is somehow very unstable ( something is wrong with it ) and this ROM gives me stability to use it as a daily driver.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] laufersteppenwolf:
Alright, my turn ;)

I'm running SlimKat

I've been running it for..... dunno... as soon as we had CM11 up and running properly :D

Am running my own kernel (none of the official (released) ones, though :p )

Pros

Beautiful UI (Dark Slim, reduced density,...)

Nice features (like SlimPie or heads-up)

Not resource hungry (Low RAM usage from framework)

Good performance

Grouper blobs

Cons

Some bugs here and there (But AFAIK they're all my own fault :o :D )

Now, a general info about this thread:

We are from now on allowing ROM comparison threads (at least for now, we are going to revisit this decision sometime later). But, comments like "xyzROM sux, abcROM iz da best!!!" are of no use, and can/will be considered spamming. I guess we're all mature enough to have a normal conversation without insulting other devs.

So please, let's keep it fact based :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] jrcquinito:
Greetings from Spain.

The best stock, Zaiden. Fast, stable, everything works fine, perfectly.

I've spent a week with nameless, well overall, although sometimes it freezes and gave lag, but fine. I think with the CM kernel v.10 Iodak do better, I think.

Today I put the CM11 nightly, 29/09, and was pleasantly surprised, very well. Super fast at all.

I am very new to the rom and although I have to use Google Translate, I learn a lot in this forum.

greetings
[LG Optimus 4X HD] AeonDrifter:
For me Beanstalk and Liquid Smooth's KitKat versions have performed the better, for Beanstalk i used the Werewolf Kernel since it's the one i normally use when i flash custom roms and has always given me the least issues with a good performance, but has its crashes as usual and camera wasn't recording at all. Recently i flashed Liquid Smooth and am working with its stock kernel, it performs very good, i don't play big graphics games i think (Clash of Clans and Tiny Death Star aren't exactly the most demanding games for android) but it hasn't crashed, no crazy reboots, apps don't error and fail close and also has a regular battery life which is hard to come by when flashing custom ROMs normally.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] noblica:
Just started using the Lego Rom. It's really nice. Also, "Your phone is now bricked" made me laugh :)

I really like the kernel tweak tool. I've been playing around with the settings to see how much on screen time I can squeeze out of my battery :) still on stock kernel. I'm thinking of trying out Wolf's kernel eventually.

Try it, it's pretty sweet. I think wolf said he would be back to continue it's development, and that he's just busy. The only thing that I found doesn't work, is taking a snapshot, and when you turn the phone on it's side, sometimes the messeges screen gets messed up, but other than that, everything works for me :)

Without tweaking the kernel, I got 3 hours of on screen time. I had wi-fi on the whole time, browsed reddit, and was messeging a lot.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Busaton:
It is better zaiben or magic rom for life battery?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ex0rt:
I'm on Mahdi (1 Dec 2014) stock kernel

Pros:

- LED Notifications (best feature for any ROM)

- Pretty close to stock with features like OmniSwitch witch I dont use

- Battery friendly (~3h on-screen, wifi on most of the time, 2g mode, gps on most of the time) and most of the time fluid

Cons:

- Sometimes it hangs when loading/using apps (if they are updating it gets even worse)

- Sometimes it needs a day to unlock (screen doesnt wake up)

[Xposed General] tnp9008:
So I decided I should to a factory reset on my Moto X today to clean it up and make it run better. Anyway I downloaded Towel Pie Root, rooted the phone, and backed up my apps with TB. My phone hadn't been rooted up to this point. Anyway I did the app backup and pulled my /sdcard/ contents to my laptop with adb and did the factory reset. Afterwards I got everything updated, restored the apps I wanted with TB(after rerooting with TPR), and got the phone set back up like I wanted. I also decided I'd give Xposed a try being that rooting was fairly simple with TPR. I downloaded Xposed 2.6.1, installed the framework and did a soft reboot. After doing that I can't connect to WiFi anymore; I just get a "Failed to Connect to Network" toast notification when I try. A Hard Reboot fixes the issue until I reinstall Xposed then WiFi breaks again.

Any ideas on why this is happening or how to fix it? I know I read in the TPR thread that people were using Xposed with TPR like I'm trying to.

[Xposed General] tnp9008:
The WiFi starts working after a hard reboot which makes xposed not work because I lose root after a hard reboot. Whether or not the xposed installer is installed or not doesn't make a difference. My WiFi is fine now that I did a hard reboot.
[Xposed General] prashantsingh480:
NOW ,root your moto X by root master .

& check if it catches the networks or not if it catches.

the install xposed installer v7.0 not the latest (v7.1).

then check ...

SHOULD WORK ......

BEST OF LUCK.... :):):):)
[Xposed General] rignfool:
Does your phone reset the system partition after reboot?

If so... Try flashing xposed... Switch install method to manual recovery flash... Run the installer... Then reboot to recovery and flash the zip...

MotoX has a nasty system reset thingy... You have to look for the workaround in your device thread...

Why its borking WiFi... I'm not sure
[Xposed General] tnp9008:
I know my system partition is read only. The only way to have read/write is to unlock my bootloader which I could do but I don't want to lose my warranty so that's not an option right now. When the warranty runs out I plan to get an unlock code and obtain full root with system read/write but that's a ways off. I don't have custom recovery installed so I can't flash manually in recovery; the root access I gain is temporary. I have to re-root with Towel Pie Root after every full reboot. From what I read in the TPR thread people have had success using xposed on the Moto X like I'm doing, but for some reason it borks my WiFi.

Update: After digging through the TPR thread it looks like this is a somewhat common issue with TPR + 4.4.3 + Xposed. The TPR dev is looking into the issue.
