[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TheTofu:
That's the thing, I've modded it to the point where I'm happy with it, I have wanam setup how I want, I use apex launcher, I have like a dozen xposed mods, but I've realized I don't really use the note 4 special features even on touchwiz, like yeah the handwriting recognition is cool but I never write anything by hand, I can't think of any samsung feature that I actually use on a constant basis aside from s-note which I don't care about since google keep works just the same for my purposes.

Playing around with CM12 on my old phone reminded me of how much I loved that thing, to me the Xperia ZL had the perfect balance of form factor, screen size, bezel thickness, buttons, everything, I would still be using it if the battery didn't give out (non removable which I've replaced to no avail) and only last me at best half a busy work day.

The main reason I bought this phone in particular is because it has the best specs of any phone available through T-Mobile, the samsung features were fun to try but they're fairly useless for me.

One of the main reasons I like CM is because they give you the power to theme a hell of a lot right from the get go using simple play store apk's, I don't have to mod as many things just to get it to how I like, and if there's a possibility of getting close to how my old phone setup

And honestly, if there was a stable CM11 or AOSPA build to begin I would've flashed that in a heartbeat, but alas, I make do by being almost satisfied by other people's amazing work with stock lol.

But hey, this is just my taste and opinion, I appreciate all the work you do on firekat, I ain't even sure if switching to CM12 is a done deal, but if there's a chance I could get back to how my old phone was setup, at least in terms of UI, I gotta try it out, y'know?

But in case I'm stuck with stock, I'm gonna air out a few things that have been bugging me :P

-I have camera shutter sound disabled in wanam but it's still enabled

-Recents still takes a good second before it appears and disappears which I suspect is likely to do with the fact that my DPI is set to 481

-In order to use wanam torch by holding volume up to turn on the flash light I have to turn the screen on and then off, as if the phone stops recognizing vol up/down when the screen is off.

-The UI still feels a little laggy to me, but then again I think that has to do with my lowered DPI and the fact that I'm an app whore and have 160 installed (and yes I use all of them, albeit most infrequently)

-Battery life when I'm out and about and working has been rather poor compared to some examples I've seen here, I would get 8-12 hours with maybe 2-3 hours of screen on, another 2-3 hours of music/podcast listening and some occasional navigation usage which varies depending on where I'm scheduled to go. I've investigated wakelocks and they all seem system related, nothing with apps, and when I'm at home battery life is back to fantastic, right now I'm at 14% after 1d12h and 2.5 hours of screen on, but this is with being on wifi like 90% of the time.

Now like I said, a lot of those issues could be because I basically use my phone as a mobile laptop with a gorillion apps, some of them could be because I dirty flashed V6 over V5 (which I did clean flash), but I feel like there's just so much more effort to getting stock running nicely and the way I want it vs CM.

Maybe it'll be different on this phone, who knows, but I'm just extremely picky about all my stuff. :P
