I am sorry for the hating of your ROM, its weird after a couple reboots that my benchmark score and lag have improved. I'm not sure if its do to enabling xposed or because I removed some of your additional apps. Anyways benchmarks have improved around 5000 points from stock.

Hi there

I flashed the 8.5 settings zip and was surprised to find no change to the settings toggles (still not there)

I flashed a second time after wiping both cache and dalvic -no luck.

For example under settings-sound the options there do not have toggles per normal.

Any tips?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] marhalloweenvt:
You're rock. But i have a question before i flash thit. Which will new features be lost? Just for sure :D

Just you. Everything works fine for me. My scoring benchmarks is approximately 50k. Lag iust a bit when opening the app drawer, but it is still good for all of ways

checkbox missing in settings

well even i experienced the same issue of checkbox missing in settings .....but somehow it re-appeared when i flashed Dr.ketan's transparent mod for system ui ......all though i got 2 setting apps...... anyways great rom ....thanks for your hard work not-i
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] not-i:
These boxes? If they are not there I must have added the wrong app in zip. I'll upload it again.

EDIT: I know what I did wrong. I renamed the app so it hasn't written over the previous settings app. Next post I'll show you how to fix it

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] not-i:
Delete SecSettings.apk and reboot if you have SecSettings.V3.apk in system/priv-app.

Make sure SecSettings.V3.apk has permission rw-r--r--

That will fix it.

Or just wait as I am reuploading the flashable zip. I have fixed the script to do the same thing.

EDIT: Here you go for the flashable mod

You remember that internal sdcard permission and xposed framework problem?

I just flashed v8.5, did data cleaning, but didnt work.

Xposed failed to install - failed to extract xposed-disabler-recovery.zip

ES Explorer still has internal sdcard write permission problem.

EDIT

I found out why it worked the last time and didnt this time.

Last time I ran the following code in terminal emulator before started discussing with you, along with numerous attempts to fix the problem.

su

restorecon -v -R /data/media

I cleared data of ES Explorer and Xposed Framework after.

I guarantee you this method will work if anyone having the same issue.

Any other issues, just run sdmaid cleaner pro.

Hi just making sure. I read that this ROM is preroot. Do I root using CF Root then flash CWM Recovery? Then flash Sweet ROM?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] not-i:
If you have installed cwm recovery you can flash this rom from there and you'll have a rooted custom rom. Follow install instructions though.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] splinter6:
U variant gets no love. Props to not-i for his work on making a custom rom for our version of phone.

Im ready to throw my 910u in the bin or smash against a wall.

I've never owned a samsung phone that had such little options for customizing.

I installed Ultimate kernel for 910c on my 910u phone and man it worked amazingly fast but obviously modem doesnt work with that kernel so had to replace with 910c kernel.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] tweeny80:
Bro, I feel ya. I'm very thankful for not-i too, otherwise we'd be screwed and would have to figure out all the ROM cooking stuff ourselves! How many bricked phones would it take to get it right ... too many !

I had no choice in NZ for the model I bought. It was like Henry Ford and the Model-T "the customer may have any colour they like, so long as it's black". That's us: black = U.

I'll again suggest to U users they consider voluntarily donating to not-i. Just a friendly suggestion, if u can afford it, chuck a few dollars on his paypal account. I've done it a few times as I miserably sit and refresh Sammobile's firmwares page looking for Lollipop.

After I flashed this rom and flashed the mod removing 3mintbattery ,"android is upgrading starting apps" always appears after the device boots up. Any solution?:confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] somemadcaaant:
Do a full wipe before flashing the Rom. Or try flushing cache and dalvik in recovery at least.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] dr.m0x:
You can get the F, C, G whatever from the parallel importers but if you want to access LTE on the 700mhz band 28 then you have to buy a U from the official channels. :'(
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] AlexxxR:
Such a pain in the a** eh? One device for the globe is how it should be. Samsung did the right thing by making the S6 and S6 Edge only using the one processor, and it includes a modem now, so hopefully from now on we will get one device supported worldwide.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] dr.m0x:
I don't know, they will probably still have different variants depending on which lte bands are used in a particular country. To me it looks like a deliberate ploy to pull business away from parallel importers and back to Samsung's official partners. On the Note 3 we had region locking, now this. :'(

Does anyone know of a replacement recent apps app (that can be mapped to the recent apps key). The delay is really bothersome so maybe another app is the answer...
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] mkim055:
V8 recent app was very responsive, but it feels like there is a bit of delay with v8.5.

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------

Thanks!

EDIT: the settings tweak seems to work well -- EXCEPT for those times after the device has been dormant/locked for a little bit -- in those situations, recent apps take as long to show up as they always have.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] AlexxxR:
Surely the recent apps menu is just an app itself, so my theory is that it gets cached when not used recently, and that's what causes the initial delay. When I haven't used it in a while it takes a few seconds, but then it feel snappier after until the phone has been inactive etc. Just like a regular app. Is there away to stop Android from caching a process and forcing it to run all the time?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] jpbl1976:
I am thinking along the same lines as you are.

It must be tied to Touchwiz somehow. Some people have said that it's faster if you use another launcher but I've actually been using Nova from the beginning and I still get the lag.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] AlexxxR:
I'm on Apex launcher, have been since day one. Still lags on the first press and then stutters from time to time. I might have to do some digging.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] mkim055:
Use Xposed App setting to keep it in memory perhaps?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] jpbl1976:
Good idea -- but what's the package name? I can't seem to find it or maybe I'm just not looking properly.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] not-i:
Pretty sure its not an app. I can change it back to the old way (double press home key) by remapping a few things. I think I have a flashable zip to do it somewhere in this thread though I don't think it speeds anything up unfortunately. The lag on it annoys me too

...and where the f*#k is lollipop already? I'm in the unfortunate position of not being able to advance my N910C/H Lollipop rom due to not having 5.0.1 on N910U yet. Come on Samsung I'm sick of seeing Note 3, S4 etc get it first. What kind of flagship is this?

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] Okarina26:
Yea this is really ridiculous...so many different versions of the Note 4....:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] AlexxxR:
I'm actually going insane waiting for them. Promises seem to mean nothing in the tech world anymore. Spend all this money on a flagship device only a few months ago, one that launched with android Lollipop already being announced and then released, and they can't even update it. Lollipop is the least successful update to date for Android. So few devices have received it and some that have, are budget phones on India that are made for the emerging markets.

Shame that it's not an app then, but there must be a way to speed it up somehow and keep it fast. I'm going to look into it later today, maybe I'll find something.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] Ausboy 2011:
Note 3 only got 5.0 alas its still lollipop.. bet the i9505 and others will get it before us -_- they better be working on giving us the s6 interface of 5.0.2 or something
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] tweeny80:
I dare to dream about that same thing... That they are working furiously night and day with some menacing Korean dude relentlessly driving his team to do better, code faster and include more features than ever before.

Then I wake up, check this thread and curse that Korean guy for failing yet AGAIN.

I'm in taekwondo, a Korean martial art. I may quit it, buy a Huawei phone and learn the ancient Chinese art of sumthin sumthin
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] jpbl1976:
Haha. That cracked me up. True story: I was at my gadget dealer's yesterday, placing my order for my One M9 (after this clusterf*ck with the Note 4, I'm avoiding Samsung phones until they're more responsible with updates - Sorry Galaxy S6 Edge) and he made an offer to trade me my Note 4 for a 64gb iPhone 6 Plus (plus a small amount of cash). I was really tempted but it would be the absolute height of irony if we suddenly got Lollipop this week just after I'd swapped it. Plus I already have an iPhone 6.

In the end, I decided not to. I may yet regret it. For one thing, Apple's phones have a lot better resale value than a Samsung...

Saw this on Reddit. Maybe it'll make some of you guys feel a little better: http://www.reddit.com/r/galaxynote4/comments/2y9038/lollipop_is_pretty_disappointing_on_note_4/
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] tweeny80:
Interesting choice between two competing flagships. Obviously one can't tinker with Apple products. If you're so inclined, that would be a deciding factor....?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] jpbl1976:
It's very close but ultimately, I kept my Note 4 because:

1. The camera's better (at least for me it is). My sister has the 6 plus and I was comparing stills with her. She's a better photographer than I am (like WAAYYY better) and even she admits that the photos I took with my Note 4 look better than her photos using her 6 plus;

2. The displays are about even so I wasn't missing anything. While the Note 4 has insane pixel density, the 6 Plus' screen is the best non-PC display Apple's come up with and it shows -- one big thing is it no longer has the sort of yellowish hue that I used to see with the iPhone 5 -- but I actually LIKE the adaptive display mode color calibration that Sammy uses ;

3. I've got plenty of Android apps that I paid for or have subscriptions to. Some aren't available on the iPhone -- such as Investing.com and Today Calendar Pro -- which I actually like better than Fantastical (that might be heresy for iOS people -- Fanstastical's probably the best paid iOS Calendar there is). I also like the flexibility of the messaging. Having said all that, iOS still has the better app ecosystem -- for example, on the iPhone, you can get Miscrosoft's standalone apps for Word, Excel and Powerpoint -- unless you have an Android tablet, you're out of luck (at least for now); and

4. As big as the Note 4 is, it's not as awkward as the 6 Plus. Even a naked 6 Plus is bigger than my Note 4 when it's in its Ringke Slim case. The 6 plus looks especially funny when ladies use them -- it's almost like a tablet in terms of relative size -- but, oddly enough, over the course of my travels in East Asia, I've seen mostly female users of the 6 Plus.

I just flashed Sweet ROM (after a wipe data) and I don't have any tick boxes in my settings ... any setting that should have a tickbox (such as Sound ->Vibrate when ringing) does not. The box is just missing. I can toggle it by tapping it (but I have no way of knowing if its enabled or disabled)

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] jpbl1976:
I was offered a chance to trade-in my Note 4 for a S6 Edge by my gadget dealer (plus some extra cash for me -- apparently, the Note 4 has good re-sale value) but I declined. After this debacle with the Note 4 Lollipop update and the bazillion variants where getting custom ROM support is basically a roll of the dice, I'm taking another year or two off of Samsung devices. It's HTC and the latest Apple device for me once more later this year.

That said, I'll be keeping my Note 4 but maybe we shouldn't even be looking forward to Lollipop 5.1 anymore. Apparently, the 5.1 update introduced ANOTHER memory leak: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...fixed-internally-no-timeline-for-release-yet/. My Nexus 5 is just gathering dust in a cabinet now. So depressing. From the look of things, I feel like Android 5.2 or 5.3 or 5.5 (or whatever) will be a bug-fix update just like iOS 9 will be. I can't believe the Google guys let this happen -- Lollipop was so promising.
