Thanks as always for the help. I thought this would have fixed it but still no luck. I hate to take up this much of your time with this but unfortunately I'm still having the same problem. I'm no longer getting the message in the 4th screenshot but I'm still basically unable to install the framework.

I did as you advised initially. I bought root explorer pro and even printed the reply to follow step by step. After cleaning and uninstalling the old xposed installer i downloaded the apk from megaupload, installed, rebooted

selected the modules that I plan on using backed out of there.

clicked on framework and hit install / update,

it asked for root permission, I granted it, it froze for a few seconds and then prompted the phone to reboot

once it rebooted I reopened xposed installer and it still says framework not installed? I'll attach some screenshots below. Should I consider a different installation mode? I miss wanam and hate not being able to customize multiwindow apps lol

inability to install xposed framework

I'm going to take the issue over to rovos xposed thread and see if he can help. I will keep you posted on the off chance someone else has similar issue down the road.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea becuase there isn't anything else necessary to do other than flash v4...install grant root rights ect...that's really odd man...def keep me posted

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MachinePower:
One thing that stood out to me was the fact that every time I try to install / update it it asks me for root permission? So it's almost like its not getting root access. I could be totally wrong here but I don't remember ever experiencing something like that before. Is there a way to give the app root permission without the app asking for it?

Have you ever used tbe other install modes? There are 2 options where you do it through recovery? I tried. There was an option to install it from the zip in TW RP but I was unable to find the zip lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GatoL0c0:
Just wondering since I don't think anyone asked...

You aren't running ART instead of Dalvik are you? I'm sure you would see something different other than what you see now but I thought I should ask anyways.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] slosrtnick:
Installed the ROM and set it up like the OP mentions in post 2 and I'm getting some lag from when I press the power button to when the screen comes on, and also having some lag when opening the app drawer and opening some apps including the camera. Would running ART fix this? Is there a way to disable the DVSF without xposed? I like running ART instead of Dalvik, but I know the tweaks for the ROM are heavily in favor of dalvik.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MachinePower:
Thank you for reaching out to try and help. I am pretty new to all of this so I have literally stuck exactly to the script as far as the way mega laid it out in op 1 and op 2. I know when i did clean flash on V4 Dalvik was one of the things i wiped and that is more familiar to me than art. But i don't know for sure.

I'm willing to try whatever. In the meantime I went ahead and opened a new thread in the xposed forum so hopefully they'll respond before long to try and help figure out what's going on.

How long ago did you flash the ROM ? Once you give it 3 to 5 days to settle in all that stuff should all go away.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] slosrtnick:
I just installed it last night. I will give it a few more days to settle. Anybody using a different kernel?

Nick
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No i use stock kernel...just let it settle but tbh you shouldn't have any lag whatsoever...just make sure you don't have interfering mods with one another and that you flashed on anj7 clean...if so just let it settle and see if a reboot and a little time doesn't clear it up

Follow my op2...no power saving mode

As for art...it's so overhyped and underperformed tbh...it's not only slower than dalvik stock to stock but so unoptimized that alot of apps and setups simply don't run properly even if "compatible"...im still waiting for Google to at least show that it's in any way beneficial before I bother with it as of now my optimized dalvik is almost double art speed

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] n3gkiwi:
Note Canadian user here. So far everything seems to be getting better except for my keyboard and typing which is extremely laggy. For example I cannot get past a few words without it stuttering. Same goes with even deleting words. Will this go away after a few days?

While the rom started with keyboard punctuations (via long press) they disappeared. And even with Wanam, no matter what I do in the setting I cannot get them back. Not sure if I can get the long press symbols back, but my bigger concern is the lag using the keyboard.

No major mods here (adaway, wanam, youtube away, greenify....).
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cds36:
Can anyone recommend a good screen recording app
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
There's only 2 things that I could think of if you clean flashed properly on the proper base rom following my op and don't have any mods...you have power saving mode on or didn't uncheck force gpu rendering like my op2 says as even strait off flash i never seen lag since i flashed v1 tbh man but i have my setup perfected ...otherwise try a different kernel maybe as the Keybaord is one of the things that benefited most from the builds...it's hard to say exactly when like 3 people out of x number of thousands say they have any lag and the other 2 were app based rendering issues...so it's a little difficult to say what the cause or why and Its esp hard to say on a device it wasn't built for adds another layer lol...so my best guess from whst little info i have to work with is start there and follow op2

Anyone have XGELS working? It doesnt seem to be applying any of my changes.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] whittikins:
Hey Mega, thanks for the great ROM!

Quick question just to confirm... You use 1497 minimum for all 4 cores? And you use Interactive governor instead of default conservative?

Lastly, how much impact have you noticed on battery life? With stock settings and auto brightness I've been pulling 7+ hours screen time (24ish hours total). Just curious how much screen time I'd lose. I'll obviously test it myself, but kinda curious what to expect. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Well it's more depending on your Setup as to how big of a difference it will be...but yea thats my setup right now...here's my battery life with my typical full brightness and my current setup with interactive

Tbh you're getting such extreme battery life on v4 it won't really matter what you do you should never have to even think about battery again...i literally don't think about it at all unless I see it's still too high to charge over night lol then i use it another day like tonight I'll use it tomorrow just to drain it to 20 or 25% by tomorrow night at bedtime

and thanks alot man much appreciated I'm glad you're enjoying it...def check our my op2 for some other cool setup ideas and cool kit to check out

But that 4 way mw is built into our n4 you don't even need that apk. ..is there something else if does?

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] loaferkan:
okay I still didn't find the unlimited multi-window app....I want to be able to have all the apps added, because sometime I'm watching a movie or using an app but it's not supported and when I try to add another app, such as want to text someone etc....the movie app has to be closed :( so if I got the whole apps on multiwindow that would allow me to have the option...hope I'm explaining myself right, but on my note 2, I can do that.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Oh that's what you're trying to do I misunderstood...just use Wanam...system...scroll down to middle....select mw apps...choose them...reboot Enjoy and on n4 you can use 4 windows at a time plus floating apps lol

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ojai00:
I'm pretty sure others have gotten it to work. Mega built the Secure Storage fix into v4 but you can try this as a last resort. In Wanam Xposed, go to Security hacks and check "Disable Secure storage" to see if that helps.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] davwman:
ROM is awesome! I was experiencing some lag, did a bunch of my usual stuff and its 99.9% gone. Got ram usage down to about 1gb. I can't wait to see lollipop on this beast. I just left a note 3 running cm12 preview and it was insanely fast with ram usage ultra low. This monster will be crazy with lollipop, trust me. As for the T-Mobile note 4 what other kernels are people running besides ktoones? I know there's not much out there, but was wondering if anyone knows of other kernels that might not be on XDA.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] force70:
Im Canadian also and dont have any lag.

Which kernel are you on

What was your wipe and flash procedure.

Lastly look on the play store of an app called note 2 hidden settings. It will lwt let enable the secondary keyboard symbols and works perfect.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MachinePower:
You're right Nick, let me rephrase..

Good morning, afternoon, evening or late night fellas! 8:59am cst here!

Thanks to everyone who reviewed my screenshots and replied or pm'd to help with my battery life issues yesterday. I'm jealous of these amazing numbers I'm seeing you guys put up via your screenshots. Are any of you guys getting these crazy numbers heavy mobile hotspot users? Anyone tethering more than 8 hours a day and still getting extreme battery life?

I think the fact that I tether an average of 10 hours a day for around 200gb per month is one of the main things impacting my numbers. After help reviewing wakelocks I deleted a dozen apps and froze another 20. Hopefully I'll see an improvement today!

Edit: side note, does anyone know how to get support for xposed installer and framework or any of the framework support team or devs that may be on xda? I opened a new topic in the support thread listed under help / support in the app but so far haven't got a response.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PlatinumNick:
another tip for battery life is i found it much better if its connected to a stable wifi conneciton than a mobile network.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gregk232:
I decided I wanted to stress test the battery.

Yesterday, i was able to charge my phone to 100% during lunch. (I use the wireless charging AirDock and have the wireless charging back cover)

When I got back to work, I decided to keep my screen on the whole time while listening to music through a bluetooth headset.

On the way home from work, I unplugged my AirDock so that the phone would not charge, and for the rest of the day I kept my screen on as much as possible.

When it got to less than 20%, I turned down the brightness, and disconnected my Moto 360.

Went to bed with around 11% battery and 8 hours of SOT, woke up with around 8%, and kept the screen on for another hour or so.

My Setup is:

Firekat V4.

Google Now Launcher

2 Gmail Accounts

Android Wear with Moto 360

1. I followed Mega's OP2 with how to get the most battery life. (I greenified everything except Android Wear and Google Music)

2. I did every step from this thread THank you, [MENTION=5039686]mgbotoe[/MENTION]

That's really it....
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jal3223:

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] CheesyNutz:
It all depends on usage
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BenMGP:
Battery life has been superb for me. Better than any other Phone/ROM combination I have ever set up.

I get 5+ hours of screen time easy, obviously depends on your usage. However, even with gaming and always on 4g I am getting extremely good life. I have no reason to have a charger with me. I plug it in before I go to bed.

I use Wakelock detector to find any culprits and Greenify/Disable as needed.

xposed framework issue

Mega,

So I guess a few other people have had this xposed framework install issue. I was told by a guy using firekat that changing to ktunesez note 4 kernel solved it for him. Remember I'm pretty new to all of this but what do you think?

I don't know much about custom kernels. I understand they're more behind the scenes between software / OS and the hardware. I remember you mentioned the starkissed kernel when i asked about the G3 tap to unlock screen feature and through the thread search feature i read you don't think different kernel is needed for battery life because stock is doing so good.

Is this something i could try fairly easily? Do I have to do a full wipe in TWRP like I do when performing a clean firekat install or could I keep most of my current setup and give it a try?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol ok awesome...for sure man completely understood lol ...it doesn't make sense looking at it on the face of it alot of the stats are confusing like that lol no worries....but yea that's all it is...no problem man anytime ...enjoy

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Tbh i dont see why changing the kernel would make any difference...you can try it but xposed is a system framework mod it's not even a kernel mod...that's why you can flash kernels and xposed will remain in tact. ...plus if it was necessary no one on stock kernel would use xposed or wanam including myself on thrbstock kernel without issue but it's been working like usual for me...but on the other hand i haven't seen anyone not get it worked out by fixing permissions and wiping cache/dalvik with twrp...try installing xposed apk and install into the system then doing twrp permissions fix and dalvik and cache wipe in advanced wipe

No i dont think a kernel is necessary for performance or battery life given what were already getting... it's only beneficial for a handful of kernel based mods or Canadian user compatibility imo

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] spirodave:
For me to notice the display quality right away without knowing that it should be enhanced says a lot . By the way the battery life is equivalent of a nuclear reactor LOL and Im only on day 2 and havent went through a full charge cycle yet . I really might stay on the kernel built into FK. Do you recommend staying on the kernel provided to maintain these excellent results I am getting ? Now a days I need my phone to be really stable because I use it for work so I cant experiment as much as before .

Thanks
