wait for Lollipop OR root and replace stock with this rom

To MEGA

1st of all nice wallpapers bro

2nd of all take all the time yu want to perfect Lollipop, ignore the pms and just do your thing, As long as your awsome Kitkat rom exist Lollipop does not matter or in other words it can wait as long as it can....people who dont wanna wait can try AOSP roms or unofficial ported builds from other phones...Plus people need to remember you have a life too and Lollipop will not change a thing.....Also they never should forget to thank your hardwork and energy gone into making this rom .....yu could do something else but yu decided to make some cool epic roms for people like us......with that said, Thank you for everything even though i have not tried your Rom :laugh:

>>>Back to my question>>> is it worth it to wait for Lollipop for T-mobile Note 4 , see how it is then decide or

- Should i just root, replace stock touchiwiz (currently on my phone right now since i bought it) with FireKatN4 and later upgrade to 5.0 rom.

i have being holding off testing and experimenting with the pen, features and other staff but 3 months in and the frequent huge ram usage is making me hate touchwiz more than i do....since the high peeks of ram usage, my Note is always hot after 5-10 minutes of heavy use and its sucks....all this cuz of bloatware and touchwiz.....i miss root too

Anywz should i root and get a kitkat rom on my Note 4 OR wait for Lollipop then root. :confused:

Again thanks

Hehe......You're going to love the stock kernel on this one......

What Mega said is true....all from a stock kernel....

Hey there,

I'd stay away from Lollipop at all costs. Yes, I am being biased, but really you're better off....in fact the best option is to just stick with ANK4 and flash v11x.

This ROM is by far the best ROM available IMHO. Period. You'll be extremely happy ....

There is no need for Lollipop and there is nothing that it can offer that will be worth while besides more junk and a different icon theme.

Flash ANK4......then get v11x going and you'll be glad that you did. :highfive:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Temetka:
Great stuff in there. I just downloaded about 20 of them. Thanks for sharing.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
Not Sure but before I went to bed I Odin back to stock nk4 and did a factory data reset after I backed up my phone. When I go out today I'm gonna test again. If that did it, I'll Fk back on by this afternoon.

---------- Post added at 07:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 AM ----------

I think you mean Ank4..

And mega, I think everyone can agree that Fkat is pure beast mode and I wouldn't personally consider moving to LP unless it was as stable.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
Oopps you're right, typo on my end....yes ANK4 on v11x.

Thanks! :good:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Thee_illuminati:
So after comparing note 4 vs edge, I noticed the edges screen is actually dimmer then the note 4. Is there a way to increase the brightness? Or is this how it works and I'm stuck? I mean is not that bad but the note is already had to see under light.

First look at Canadian Lollipop on my Note 4

So, yesterday I was in a mood to experiment and after carefully doing a TWRP backup of my FireKat v11,. I Odin-installed Lollipop on my N910W8 Note 4. I downloaded the ROM from the Sammobile link for Wind Mobile, my low-rent carrier, but Lollipop turns out to have a lot of Bell bloatware in it, almost all of it nonfunctional on Wind. So, the people who said that all the Canadian images are actually the same one for Bell are probably right. I guess I can use Titanium Backup or something similar to uninstall the bloatware.. Lollipop is working okay, though. It sure is pretty. It's got too much animation for my taste. And I do miss the FireKat goodness along with Xposed and Wanam. Last night I tried restoring my TWRP backup of FireKat but it wouldn't boot, so I assume I'd have to Odin-flash AOA1 first, over top of BOC4, then put TWRP back and restore FireKat from there, which feels like a bit too much trouble, so I'll live with Lollipop for a little while at least. before I do that

I do think the N910W8 Lollipop is good enough for most US users to run, at least if you're willing to live without the Tmo features like Wifi Calling. Battery life is not any worse than stock 4.4.4, so I'm sure it would be quite good if it got thre FireKast treatment. :)

I remember reading about the dimmer screen in the reviews I saw for the Note 4 edge.. So you'll probably always have to compensate by adjusting the brightness slider on the Note 4 edge higher than on the Note 4. In the reviews for the S6 and S6 edge that I've read so far, no one has made a point of saying that the edge's screen is dimmer than the plain S6's, so I guess this is something that Samsung got right on the second attempt.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Jayster0966:
I think it would not boot due to ODIN flashed a LP kernel to go with that. Not too sure that you can ODIN backwards. (could be wrong) If you have root and custom recovery, then just restore your FK backup then flash a KK kernel before boot.

Just my .02 cents worth. Someone chime in if I'm wrong.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gun26:
Sure, that sounds worth trying next time I tire of Lollipop and want to go back to FK. If I flashed my FK v.11 ROM before restoring, would that accomplish the same thing? Seeing as how the FK kernel is stock KK, I mean.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
I'm back baby!!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
Yes you have to Odin back to stock AO1 first to go back to FKv11..and as far as I know the LP 5.0.1 CAN rollback to 4.4.4 but waiting for more 100% conformations.. Do that and then TWRP FK backup

Let me know how it goes btw

---------- Post added at 12:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

Any clue what it was ultimately?

Had you not tried full wipes and refreshes etc?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
I too tried Lollipop last night and it was pretty nice, but I came right back to FK after less than an hour. I liked the material design, colors, animations, and the overall feel of it. There were some nitpicky things I couldn't stand, though. The the close all/memory usage buttons at the bottom of the recent apps menu were black/white instead of transparent and were really small, there was a big ugly X in the top right corner of every recent app card, a lot of features were removed (mostly air gesture/smart crap), I couldn't use Xposed, and my number one biggest complaint was Google keyboard. I have been using it since my Gnex and loved their swipe/text correction stuff, but on Lollipop (both AOSP and TouchJizz) it sucks. It'll swipe words that are completely unrelated to what I wanted and I HATE the way text corrections are handled (too hard to explain. I'd have to show you....)

Over all Lollipop felt rushed and incomplete compared to KitKat. I think I'll stay on 4.4.4 for a LONG time.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lmao thought so...glad that sorted it man...now once you get everything set back up fk should run better than ever for you having odin ank4 and sorted everything

Love the Aurora shots Mega.

When it comes to wallpapers (that I will actually use as a desktop for pc, tablet or phone) they have to be primarily *dark*. So picky that way.. Just prefer that for the contrast mainly from that to icons and whatever is on top.. Some of the others are amazing of course and great for pics etc but I loooove the darker shots! :)

Oh and as I said before... Do what's best for you in terms of LP.. Sorry to hear you are being bombarded by requests.. Take your time and do whatever you need.. Everyone can wait.

I guess it's not gonna be all "Kumbaya" in here for a while eh ;) LOL

I'm still pissing my pants over that one! :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Fk would basically sort all the crap issue you have with your note....for me there's no question as I have no real plans to move to Lollipop once I have my firepop roms done or not...at least at this point....there's too many really little annoyances surrounding lollipop that I don't wanna deal with...that if it were just the few annoying theme and animation changes I could deal but losing half my mods a quarter of my games and even less sd interaction/function....I'm really struggling to see the point why anyone would be racing to Lollipop tbh...less customization and fun seems kinda counter the point to me lol...enjoy v11 it'll fix the crap stock has wrong with ur n4

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
One of the most annoying and odd things about the edge imo...was the first thing that stood out when I picked it up the first time

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Thee_illuminati:
Yeah it's a bummer but so far I'm liking the edge on this phone. It reminds me of a macbooks dock

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Hence why fk11 will be running on my n4 for a long time unless one of two things happen....all mods somehow get full compatibility....doubtful tbh...or they release a perfectly stable optimized lollipop base without a massive amount of annoying ui elements and bugs...again doubtful so that's why I changed my rollout plans to exclude waiting on me because if that were the case there'd never be firepop haha

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
I bet Xposed will be working on TouchJizz by the end of the year, but it will be years before Wanam and all my other favorite modules have 100% full compatibility. I don't see Google fixing their keyboard any time soon and that's a major turn off for me since it's the only keyboard I actually like

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
I tried full wipes, nandroid back, new maps, old maps, fresh v11x, different nav apps... You name it.

I'm chalking it up to flashing aosp roms here and there without Odin'ing the base nk4 before flashing firekat like Mega recommended.

I had to odin back and factory data reset, reroot, twrp, the works.

Moral of the story. Always listen to Papa Mega. Dude knows what he's talking about

I've had zero luck flashing any of the themes whether it's sick made or locos. Are they not compatible? I've seen other members using them. Wipe caches and flash correct?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GatoL0c0:
I've had zero issues installing Loco's theme. I've done it both after already having FireKat up and running as well as during a clean flash. You'd likely have problems if you have another kind of theme mod installed. Changing theme in Wanam could also cause issues.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:

The question of going back and forth between Lollipop and KitKat seemed interesting enough that I cut my stay in Lollipop short to find out. I backed up Lollipop in TWRP and tried restoring my FK backup. No go - it hung on the bootloader screen with white "Samsung Galaxy Note 4" text. This screen kept restarting and things never progressed to the boot splash. So it was a double trip to Odin - once to flash stock AOA1 and again to put back TWRP, followd by using TWRP do do a full wipe and restore of my FK backup. That worked fine. I expect that going back to my backed up Lollipop will necessitate another double trip to Odin to flash stock BOC4 and put back TWRP before restoring. Tomorrow will be a busy day for me so I'm staying put with FK for now, but maybe next week I'll try out Lollipop again. If we had Multirom available on the Note 4, it would make experiments of this sort a lot easier.

[MENTION=5451734]megalomanic14[/MENTION] I found another mod you can add to OP 2. It enables quick glance that was removed from the Note 4. They left all the other air gestures except for this one for some reason. I like this much better because sometimes I use air wakeup in the middle of the night to check the time and the whole screen lights up and burns my eyes. With quick glance 70% of the screen stays black and doesn't hurt my eyes. It is attached at the bottom of this post.

Yep it's a go! A few have confirmed now. And yeah, it was a given that just restoring kk wasn't going to work and ultimately we wanted to know if rolling back the *firmware* was possible without bricking, etc.. And it is! So anyone wanting to test LP firmware can go back to kk firmware if wanted. Awesome

I would assume that just flashing certain kk Roms (only system partition) might work on LP firmware but will have to test.

This all goes back to jellybean and (for example on S3) once you update to 4.3 firmware/bootloaders there was no going back... Or brick.. But I was easily able to use my 4.1 and 4.2 firmware/bootloader and flash any jb or kk Roms on top no prob.

Anyways this is all good news :)
