No worries fellas...i appreciate it but there's more important better news...the intial tests of the Canadian lp seems to be a few minor tweaks away from being ready for prime time...so now we're essentially playing the waiting game with tmo for the next phase ....good news always trumps...and we keep on keeping on lol

Joe Dirt quote.

Guys, I think I'm weird. This girl in my class gave a presentation about smartphones and it was somewhat arousing to hear a girl talk about Android and phones.

So I've been testing greenify a lot lately and I've had great battery performance by activating geenify under accessibility settings and activating it under xposed.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
That's great dude I'm glad it's working well...ive heard of some goofy things enacting accessibility and root together...if anything goofy happens maybe give that mix a second look...otherwise awesome buddy

I just wanted to pop in and give a heads up...so a bunch more in depth feedback is coming in about lp test v1zip3...theres still a few issues scattered here and there...mainly trying to adjust to the security and base changes and inherent bugs in lp itself ....got it booting on stock kernel no issues...so I should have the Canadians fp hammered out and polished by this weekend as well as working on and more than likely finishing the sprint vz and intl variants to start doing similar testing and feedback to adjust for the given base builds

I just wanted to thank everybody who has tested and given me the feedback thats allowed me to work thru these builds blind...it's hugely beneficial for the build and very much appreciated from me and I'm guessing most everyone else coming here daily waiting for the next build...

As harsh as I've been about lollipop so people would think about what they're actually getting in the update itself vs thr hype and expectation...im now far more positive and excited about the possibilities now thanks to the tests....im sure everyone else appreciates it the same way guys thanks alot...now fingers crossed wanam and xposed get their kinks worked out...soon lol

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dugryce:
Thank you! The 4 is Da Bomb! Made even better by this stable ROM! I'm a bit hesitant about Lollipop though. Heard not so good things about it. Also, I hear the Note 5 is something most of us used to micro SD cards and accessible batteries will NOT like...so, I took the plunge and got the Note 4 instead of waiting. So far, I'm happy with my decision!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol no worries you are not alone by any means...im def more excited looking down from the other end having the first build done and ready for polish but I've been hesitant and somewhat resistant myself

The new theme changes are def a love it or hate it kinda deal....im def far more excited and open with the idea of having the build ready and not dealing with stock...but there's a few parts of the theme I'm not a big fan of for sure...so yea it's gonna be tough I think especially for many of the people who are long time tinkerers or for those of us that have been fans of the touchwiz on n4 4.4.4....at least we can always go back and forth which is always the best since we can test and see which we all like better lol

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
The best part was she actually sounded like she knew what she was talking about and had an interest in it. It didn't sound forced or like she didn't care like some of the presentations the other girls in my class gave.

Hey Mega,

Just in a bit of a pickle. I downloaded your "Google now" widget from the custom firekat themes and inserted it into zooper templates. Set a 4x1 zooper widget and selected the file from the template folder which pops it on screen. I cannot get it to work tho :S I have Google now enabled in application manager so it'a not disabled. Am I missing something good sir?

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Screenshot me thru it...did you put file in zooper templates on internal storage?...did you pick it in zooper as the widget from open/sd card...

Mega

To use the launch google tap on function or any app ext...

Then on home screen...wherever you click will launch the given command you set...ie all mine are for google now...so wherever I touch launches to google now
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
Once again gratitude for your help Mega! I had no idea that there was such a process! I should get it now tho! I thought it's as simple as adding a widget! :p I guess that probably one of the hardest widgets to set up eh?

Sent from my SM-N910T using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol yea its def a little more involved than a premade widget... I think the tap on is set but I can't remember when I saved it and uploaded it what was what lol...that's how it works for any tho...you can use that method to tap on the clock and launch the settings or play store ect lol...it's really awesome once you get used to zooper you'll really enjoy it....theres like 500 widgets in the drive box to play with or get ideas from lol

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
So you can really create a widget for any application and set up a "tap on"? If so that's rediculous! :) I noticed that in your firekat themes you set up the background wallpapers and we insert them however we see fit right? So by "firekat themes" you mean that you organized the wallpapers according to there theme and the rest is up to us? Just clarifying for my own knowledge :)

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea exactly...they're actually mostly kits I've personally used...bar the stock android ones I made for fun ect...but a majority of those packs of matching shots or widgets are simply my personal kits I've put together or put together that I'll use coming up ect...the idea is finding shots that match colors, styles, layouts, ect to make a uniform theme for the 4 places...lock screen..home screen...notification. ..settings....but totally what you use and where is up to you...those are just the ones i grouped together I think make a sick setup and can be used with a flashed theme as well

Yea I actually have a few...one mimics tizen...ones just custom ect that do that very thing...app launcher shortcuts

You can basically do anything....dreaming it ups the hard part lol...

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MrAwesome75:
Have you tried widgets on your Gear S? I got Wearable Widgets the other day and after going through the settings with the dev for 2 days, I got it working really well on my watch. Now I can make any widget I want and run it on my watch. It doesn't even kill the batter as fast as I thought it might.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I tried the classic watch styler when "for gear s" dropped lol...but that was a no go....honestly I haven't really messed with it much...i wear it daily and do almost all my texting from it lol but I haven't really had time to mess with the apps much...over the summer I plan on trying to learn to work on tizen and explore the market to see what can be done with the watch which admittedly isn't much needed ime it's been a pretty fantastic experience even compared to my completely modded gear 1 running a full firekat 4.2.2 build lol...i love the gear s I'll check out this wearable widgets app tho thanks for the heads up

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
Definitely insane! I'm going to download that calendar widget as I find or most useful :) question regarding the physical battery:

Do the 3200mah anker batteries provide reliable performance or would you recommend to do the safe thing and go for a Samsung original oem 3200mah battery? Reason I ask is I seen the anker batteries relatively cheaper.

Sent from my SM-N910T using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Personally I would reco going with the oem samsung for 2 reasons...1 even though it's more expensive you know it was built to a given standard and know within reason what to expect....2 you run the risk that quick charging that battery may start a bonfire on your night stand lol....ime it's worth the extra 15 bucks esp after paying between 750 for the n4

There are very few things I reco oem...batteries charger and s pen...thats it...any other accessory minus hw replacement parts is fair game for stands docks headphones ect but those 3 I stick with oem as they're game breakers lol

I also tend to use the stock cable just because I have a dozen laying around but just for fyi

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MrAwesome75:
I made some custom watches with Watch Styler. You can make pretty cool faces even with shortcuts to any app on the watch, but you have to use a computer to get some of it to work right and it can be time consuming. Wearable Widgets is easier because you can do it all on your phone. The only thing it can't do is shortcuts to apps on the watch (obviously), but you can make some cool watch faces, that can look better than the Watch Styler faces depending on what they are.

I highly recommend Wearable Widgets. It's free, but if you want to load more than one widget into the app at one time, it's $2. But the dev worked with me over email to get it running properly, so it's well supported and well worth it.

I'm waiting for some mods on the Gear S. I rooted it the other day and there's not much you can do yet except change app icons and sounds. Supposedly, you can mod the stock watch faces, too, but I haven't had time to figure that out yet. I look forward to see what you come up with this summer.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Great man thanks alot for the info...ill totally check this out...yea I'm excited mainly for one thing really...i wanna port over or make functional the android emulator from the samsung tizen t1 phone that would allow us to run a majority of android apps live normally just like usual on gear s...that a possibly some minor tweaks...though without a recovery makes things tricky lol...but I just really wanna see what's possible as its been a great experience so far....you have me curious now I'm grabbing my n4 and checking this app out lol

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Just a heads up...don't freak out if your play store seems to just shut down and not connect....they're pushing a live update right now...all my devices just had this happen then I had to sign in under another new permissions authorization....gee yay thanks lol...just a heads up no need to clear cache or anything...just give it a few minutes and it'll pass and everything sync back up fine

Buy from Amazon although watch out for the fakes. I haven't had a problem running into fakes since I mostly only buy when the description says "sold and shipped by Amazon". Even just "shipped by Amazon" in my experience is a good bet.

Have you guys heard that Google is launching their own cellphone service? Supposedly it uses Sprint and T-Mobile networks. I wonder how long that'll last...

I think Google is trying a little too hard to take over the world. They've already got a smartphone OS, provide internet service, a search engine, glasses, a ton of other stuff, and now they're launching cell service. What's next? Their own line of toilets that analyzes your waste and searches the internet for dietary recommendations?

Its not the ROM...I use WhatsApp daily and have since I started running FK back on V5. Works flawlessly. Its also one of the most widely used apps around the world so its probably something the user did specifically with his device.

Hey Mega,

A few questions about op2 apks:

-the camera apks (google camera+lenovo) you have in OP2 compare at all to stock camera or no? I'm scared that if I install the apks my stock camera won't function properly, or is that highly unlikely?

-the TouchWizlauncher.Apk you have in OP2 under firekat mods is just a modded 4x4 launcher? Just drop into appropriate directory, set permissions (by this you mean in twrp right?) And should be good to go? I also see a Googlehome.apk which must be stock android launcher?

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
This could go either way....if they're simply doing a reselling of system space like straight talk i could see it being a reasonable alternative...i can't see it being all that competitive vs the big 4 tho imo

I just wish they would polish and refine one thing before moving on to the next...as everything they do Is basically a beta build....google glass....google fiber...even just their apps...ect thats my main issue with it really

Ah! So I understand that if you have an apk in OP2 but there is a newer version of it, do not bother installing it unless it's a specific version you want for example the Gmail app before the 5.1 lollipop update right? Beside that, google now is still no good for wakelock and if one chooses to use it then it's a good idea to greenify it for battery saving sake? Thanks again for the support :)

No not really....i mean most are actually older preferred apks...or novel ones like the other cameras ect...but some of them are just general reco or what not...unless they're tagged with a note like Tapatalk is the pre lollipop theme apk ans modded ones ect...so it depends on the mod or apk

Tbh i dont know enough about gnow launcher...i quit even installing it just because I never used it....i used to set it up ect but of all launchers it was the only one I've ever greenified but never used...you don't wanna greenify anything you run that often imo...but again that was a year or so ago so I'm sure others could tell you if it's worth it...i prefer nova or apex or galaxy launcher myself if not using tw

Yeah their investors don't like it much either but oh well.. I'm glad they do this stuff.. They tell investors they are always going to do various projects (many costing a ton of $) and some will succeed and some will fail.. It's just to keep pushing the envelope and continuing innovation.

But keep it up Google.. Through that mud at the wall and see what sticks!

Google has no interest in running a wireless service. They do however have an interest in shaking up the currently stagnant situation that is US MVNOs.
