[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] mpazevedo:
Correct me if I'm wrong but these custom ROMS don't support the S Pen. If that is true, what use is the ROMS if you can't use the S Pen. That is one major point of the whole note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] WwOliveros:
The S Pen was never a real selling point for me. HTCs have bad cameras, LGs have have horrible reliability from mine/my buddies experience with the G2 and the Note is still the spec king. I could definitely get behind a Nexus though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] shamdawg:
Which store did you go to? I tried at the Greenfield store on 76th and Layton but they said they will start selling it on the 17th.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] imnoob55:
I don't mind touchwiz myself and if you haven't played with a note 4 in store you might be pretty happy with touchwiz this time around, its snappy and actually doesn't look nearly as bad as it used to. Can just install nova or google now launcher if it is that bothersome though from a UI perspective. Setting wise I think Samsung offers more a better features than aosp.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] DaMnIt!:
I got the Note 4 in Pasadena, they had 5 white and 2 black. They are technically not suppose to sell them until Friday, but all the corp stores got them. It took a bit of effort to get them to admit they had them, and I pulled the corporate partner card on them so they went ahead with it.

Now what sucks is I can't transfer any of my data with titanium backup, I am wondering when root will be available.

I also agree with others here, if you don't need or care for the S-Pen the Nexus 6 is probably the device you want...

So who will be first to release a root?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] RiNo808:
Hopefully we can get root for now... Maybe we should check out the G3 forum as they got root with the bootloader locked...

Sent from my Note3 Rocking DynamicKat or my G3

Got mine from a store in Austin today. Just walked in and they said they'd sell it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Rastabolino:
Got mine in Monterey ca today, my presale one is still in transit till Monday lol..what's the point of pre ordering? I'll just return that one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] fcb1:
I only pre ordered for the 200$ off from samsung
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] alpinesun:
I went to the one near Capitol and 124th to get it. They have black and white on stock. Debating going back for a black one instead. I didn't think the lack of the soft touch feeling would be a big deal for me but it does change the handling of the phone.

---------- Post added at 09:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 AM ----------

Agreed. For the first time owning a Samsung device, I didn't rush to change the launcher to Nova. Granted, I did at some point thru the night, but it was more so to get rid of the dock and change the grid size. Touchwiz was far less offensive than before. Samsung is finally heading the right way
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] maximus96:
so with Nova, can you still do the swipe-from-corner multi-window thing? or is that stock launcher only? thx
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] WwOliveros:
Works with Nova too!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] holywhitebread:
Got mine from the store today as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] drmacrofish:
May be a while for root. Note 3 got root pretty quickly with root de la vega. But then when the updates for 4.4 came out, people lost root. It took close to another 6 months after that till towel root came out to allow for root again! Now Google owns Geohot so no more towel root. Be thankful if you get root soon, but don't count on it. You may all want to start getting a bounty together for one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] J-man67:
Damn. I called a local store the other day. Asked if they had them. I said great, on my way. I get there only to be Told that they can't sell them until Friday. Oh well, it's Friday and got my best buy email telling me to pick it up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Thermalwolf:
That's bs, they can. My store at first tried saying they couldn't till the manager some research and found they were indeed sellable. You just got some bad reps that didn't know what they were doing or were just having a bad day. Sorry man :/

More bs. They are just being pricks and not properly checking the database. It says release on Friday but can sell upon early arrival. Either way it's past release now so no worries but I'm sorry you got hung up with poor management :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] crypt0kiddie:
I'm very disappointed by what I'm hearing. I was all set to go get the note 4, my att contract just ran out. After reading this I'm going to have to do some serious investigation before I pick my next phone. It might not be with AT&T and I might not be a Samsung if this is true.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Thermalwolf:
If what's true? The phone is fantastic and it's been known for two years now att locks there phone down. This is not a new trend or sneaky tactic
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] crypt0kiddie:
Well that has not been known by me for sure. If that is now the case I will have have to move to another network. I enjoy custom ROMS too much. One of the main reasons i went to AT&T two years ago was how easy it is to root and run custom ROMS. Contract just ran out, glad I saw this before we got stuck with 4 new devices!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] naruto.ninjakid:
Your best bet is to get T-Mobile's version and unlock it and use it on AT&T
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] crypt0kiddie:
Well the issue is cost. For me I would need to do it under a 2 year contract OR AT&T Next. Only option sounds like changing carriers! :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] cj00ta:
Since I'm not familiar with bouncing between carriers like that... what's the downside to pulling a TMO phone and putting it on ATT?

I know bands and such are and issue, as well as unlocking the sim card... but.. what's the loss moving to ATT? I "need" my LTE speeds and 3G (like I think I've been reading) isn't an option.

Is there a "how to" from TMO to ATT somewhere that I haven't seen yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] naruto.ninjakid:
http://xdaforums.com/note-4/help/tmobile-note-4-att-vice-versa-t2891573
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] cj00ta:
Thanks.. basically what I get from that is It'll work... just possibly not as good as if I bought a "real" ATT phone, basically due to the radio firmware.

Is that basically correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] naruto.ninjakid:
Yeah quite a few people have done it actually. You should still get LTE but many not in all areas an AT&T phone would. so it really depends what's more important to you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] cj00ta:
Completely unfortunate... I feel a Nexus 6 is in my future rather than my desired Note 4....

I "require" both... root and service/speed in as many areas as possible... (I use the phone as my primary business communication tool).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] gtg465x:
Only true for Samsung phones really. Every AT&T phone comes with a locked bootloader, but Samsungs are the only ones that can't be unlocked. HTC gives you a code on their website to unlock and Moto and LG can be unlocked with tools here on XDA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] b3asty:
Yup. Give me TiBu, root explorer, and xposed. I'll be happier than a pea in a pod. As is, this phone is rocking pretty hard though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Sebat:
Couldn't agree more... removing bloatware would be nice as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Nexii:
I really just want root to get my back ups up and running, and to remove the bloatware.... that's like one freaking page.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] v3ngence:
You mean when are others going to work hours for your benefit, are you even going to thank them?

Ha. No cm11 for you. Ha.

And you're the reason why most are out of stock... next time grow a brain cell.

Or you know, just wait patiently like the rest of us. Root will come to those who wait :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ShrekOpher:
Root on this phone will be worthless in 1 month. From everything I have read once Android 5.0 comes out Root will be impossible without an unlocked boot loader to modify the kernel.

So go ahead and wait. By the time they get this thing rooted on 4.4.4 it will be ready to run 5.0 and it will all be for nothing.

People need to realize that NOT EVER having root on this phone is a real possibility. Also passing a bounty for root on Android 4.4.4 when 5.0 is less than 2 months away is a waste of money.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] v3ngence:
Yup very true, and I grew up flashing roms with the best of them, but with this phones power and abilities I just don't see the point. I just changed to non-root apps like Wear Unlock and AdBlock Plus and it's just like old times again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] powdered_donuts:
Don't get your hopes up. As an owner of 2 att note 3s I'll tell you root took forever and was a pain in the ass. With the boot loader locked still you won't be able to do much. No Roms without safe strap or similar even then you are limited to stock variations as the kernel cannot be flashed. Better than nothing but don't count on much from this device for development right away if at all. I've had all the notes and loved them but had to go with a nexus six with the direction they took.

Youre best bet as an att customer is to buy the note 4 from T-Mobile full price and add att apns and stuff for use on their network. Works fine and tmobiles will probably not be locked down just as the case with the note three.

Have fun!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] karlleuang85:
not an iphone6 plus ? good boy

must be a good boy to do this , haha , choose android , choose the future
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Mike_Larry:
Ill I want to do is remove bloatware and that stupid ATT splash screen during bootup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] pirateye:
I did almost the same thing cause I'm using Straigh talk with a att sim. I went on anazon ordered an att note and that was it. When I came to this forum and saw all of you guys so disappointed and so eager to have root I said oop, I don't think I did the best thing, but I didn't loose hope until I almost reached my 30 days return limit so I said fine I'm going to return it and I'll get a tmo from swappa - easy peasy. I've returned it to amazon and ordered a random tmo note 4 at $675. What a great deal since I've payed over 800 at amazon. I got the phone, it was perfect, it had all the plastics on it so immediately I placed an order for an unlock code. When I placed the order there was this warning saying that I have to first activate the phone then unlock, to avoid region lock. A friend of mine has tmo, so I borrowed his sim card to activate my new phone. I was so excited and so ready to root and flash a custom rom, but... when I put the sim card in I got no network... I thought it's something wrong with the sim card so I found another one and tried again, same results :( the phone just didn't want the get on the network. After hours of readings, I said let me just check the imei number.. dong! I found out that tmo has an imei checker on their website. By running the imei through them I got a cute red message saying that the phone was reported as stolen. Awesome! When the seller was asked wtf he said that most likely it's a mistake and he sent me another phone which this time was no longer in new conditions like the first one, plus the imei sticker from the back missing. It had a tone of scratches on the bezel and screen so I returned it and asked for a refund. The next day, I went to a tmo store and bought a new phone. Finally, after all the hassle, I have root, no ads and all the mods I want. Was it worth it? Some may say no, but honestly since I took this route, by getting a note 4, I prefer having the option to do whatever I want with my phone..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Mike_Larry:
I haven't even received my Edge yet via mail but I think im going to return it when I receive it, im not even going to open it. I played with it at Bestbuy today, the Edge is cool, it looks great, I really really like it, and it seems to work well but it's not worth the extra $200.

Instead I think im going to return it for the Nexus 6, yes I know the Note 4 has way more features but I have a rooted Note 2 and the regular Note 4 which is only $100 more than the Nexus 6 at $750 just doesn't excite me, especially since we cant root it. I want something different, the Nexus 6 is $300 cheaper than the Edge and can be rooted, if anything I can pay it off quickly and upgrade to the Note 5 if I want.

---------- Post added at 09:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 PM ----------

How are you liking the Nexus 6? Do you missing any features from the Note? Im thinking about returning my Note Edge for a Nexus 6.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] WizeGuyDezignz:
The Nexus 6 is the most boring phone known to man right next to the iPhone 6. The Note 4 blows it away imo. Your opinion may vary.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] insang-droid:
if I didn't need the stylus.. i'd pick up the nexus6 . but i absolutely need and now will never go back to a non stylus smartphone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] mtech5:
To have root would be nice to at least remove bloat ware but I'm not going to complain. This phone is a beast. And it's pretty Sweet paired with the Samsung Gear S Watch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] edditnyc:
Ditto. I have the Moto 360 and I love the pairing of the smartwatch and the Note. I have been curious about the Note for a few months now but it was the 360 that helped justify the upgrade from Galaxy S5. The phone feels so much faster than the S5 especially calling up the camera and multitasking. I'd love root too but I am also pretty happy with this phone.
[Sprint LG G2] majorahole:
im wanting to do the update to ZVD, mostly to get rid of the notification!

but id rather not have to do a full wipe, and start all over again ( i hate loosing my texts!) but i have twrp and the hotspot mod.

i think i can go back to stock recovery with a recovery image i downloaded, but the hotspot mod is the only thing i need to figure out how to reverse.

ive read to just replace with the stock files, but i dont have the stock files.

any info will help. ive searched, but theres just too much to look through on the update, rcovery and hotspot, that i figured it would be faster to just ask. i was hoping there would be a flashable zip at some point, but doesnt look like it,

thanks for all help!
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
If all you care to do is get rid of the notification, tap and hold on the notification, tap on "App Info" and uncheck "Show notifications." This will block the update notification.

As far as losing text messages and such, use Helium to back up your device's app data, WiFi settings, Dictionary, Messages, and Call Log. If you use the Helium Server it will create a "backup.zip" on your computer so that after you reset the phone, just install Helium, run the server, and restore the apps. As far as hotspot mod, I have no idea, sorry. Hope this helped anyways. If you have any questions let me know.

Classic+: Buttons are no longer static they randomly switch positions with another.

Mirror: Match the colour of the font to the matching button.

Mirror+: Mirror rules with non static buttons.

Updates are actively being worked on. Colour is an independently produced app by a recent university graduate .

[Android Apps and Games] phil3992:
Thanks glad you like it. Practise can really help get better high scores, one of the core aims was that to get good at the game you would have to play a little bit each day thus keeping your brain active, after a few days of practise it is really noticeable of a score improvement.

UPDATE V 1 . 1

New mode Ultra Hard, Buttons are no longer static in this new mode making even more of a challenge with button randomly swapping position.!

Update also contains layout improvements.

Please share and give feedback about colour guess
[Android Apps and Games] e23t93:
A very simple game, however, it does get complicated when the colour of the word and that of the block is different. Good work none the less!

If you could increase the time to select each block, it would really help the player.
[Android Apps and Games] phil3992:
Thank you for the kind words, yes it can get a bit complex but the more you play you can really notice the improvement of high scores. As for the timing I can give them a tweak, I did run a closed beta test with people of varied ages and felt I had worked out the correct amount of time for difficulties. I will continue to monitor this and most likely give more time especially in the new mode.
[Android Apps and Games] phil3992:

[Android Apps and Games] pointytower:
This is a fun game: the concept is really cool, and it can get pretty addictive. An interesting game mode might be to give the player more time at the beginning to pick the right color, and then speed up as the game continues. My only (pretty major) criticism is that it looks like there wasn't very much effort put into making the game look nice. For example, the main menu screen is poorly laid out: there's a lot of empty space, and I think the game could benefit from a nicer looking font. Overall, I think this is a great game, and if the visual presentation of the game matched the quality of the gameplay, it would be an outstanding game.
[Android Apps and Games] phil3992:
Thanks for the feedback, yes I am no graphic designer but I assure you a lot of effort went to the design, I was aiming for a simplistic look to the app but I look at trying to produce a higher quality. I have more modes planned for colour guess so a layout overhaul will be due to fit the extra modes in. I like the idea of the game mode, it's not the first time somebody has suggested it to me so i'll be sure to get a mode along those lines released with the other two new modes I have planned.

I really appreciate the kind words and the constructive feedback. Im still fairly new to android but have a passion to keep making content.

I always used 290 on my nexus 4 and it was great.

I really don't like how big the icons are stock. Any suggestions?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faruko:
I use Nova, Google Launcher icons are stupidly big
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jawmail:
320 maybe
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borxnx:
I wouldn't go 320... the stock value is 480.

I use 440, it's perfect for me. It could be smaller (but 320 is WAY too small), but with the large screen and bumbling one-hand use 440 is perfect. Plus if you don't use XGELS to modify the launcher settings, it adds a 5th column in the app drawer.

I will also add: if you change the DPI at all, Moto Display will be weird. It's just graphical, off center and funky icons. Xposed module App Settings allowed me to change the DPI of just Moto Display back to 480 and problem solved.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _bottle_:
how do you change the dpi? the large icons are bugging me too
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Restola:

Just rooted 5.0. On 4.4.4, I had my DPI at 400 with the Xposed Module App Settings to correct Moto Display. Obviously, that's not an option on Lollipop. So, my questions is, does anyone know a way to correct this while maintaining a similar DPI to 400 and do it without Xposed?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggmask:
Yeah I just switched to 400 and I'm having the same issue, anyone have a fix for this?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CWick4141:
Don't think there really is a fix.. With xposed you could do per app DPI.. I've learned to deal with it being a little off center using 420 dpi
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggmask:
That was my plan but then I noticed that after some time it seemed to re-center, but the actual active portion of the screen doesn't. So I have to slide to the left of the actual unlock icon to unlock it (???). Weird.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StiiLe:
I'm interested too, those icons and applications are too big for me. I feel like we don't benefit of the entire 5.2" screen 1920x1080 and 441 ppi... it shows exactly the same amount of content as a 4.2" screen with 150 ppi. I would be happy to find a little fix too, I have not enough skills to build it.

Maybe the key is to come back to Nexus' line, but the Moto X 2014 seem so perfect except that point. :)

Tried it. Indeed the desktop is better, but each time I launch an application like Youtube, Whatsapp or Settings for example, it feels I'm a old person who needs very big font size. I would like to see more on my screen, with smaller font size then.
