Did you restore any data from user apps? I typically do this despite concerns because I am careful. However, I wasn't getting good battery on V2, but didn't mention it because I believe what everyone is is getting plus I know what I had done. It turns out it was an app called Noled. All it's features no longer work on 4.4.4. So when I restored it's data, those settings that didn't work properly were the probable cause of the drain I was getting. I'm still using it but this time I didn't restore it's data instead, setting it up manually. Now everything is good! Not saying you have, but if you insist on restoring data and settings from previous ROMs, you must really be careful. Otherwise, just don't do it at all, (what's recommended in here) lol!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Gavin22:
There's something wrong there......

Based on your "on battery" time of 17 hours and then your "screen display" of 62%..... that would equal 10.5 hours of screen on-time (not the 2h33m.)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Twelve hours, twenty-six minutes and still have 42%! I'm a happy, happy camper!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea if the percentage was based on time and not capacity/total lol...your calculating 62% like that 62% is supposed to be the percent of screen on vs total run time... when the read out has nothing to do with time. ..its saying of the capacity 3220 maph 62% was used by the screen... The 62% is the proportion of the capacity used of the battery by the screen...the time is independent and has nothing to with it...the times are simply a result of the difference in efficiency:capacity

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] twe90kid:
The first 8 hrs were the phone in idle state with screen off while i sleep. I have tasker set to turn off wifi/gps/mobile data while screen off during the night time. That's why you don't see any decrease in battery life.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Actually you wouldn't see any anyway lol...i dropped 1% in 8 hours with everything on and my cpu min clocked at 1400 ghz even with the screen off and over 300 apps...

You use Tasker...do you use any other tuner or cleaner apps? What mods do you have?

Do not use power saving mode...op2

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Gavin22:
Never thought of it that way....Mine has always equally out using the math based on time. Interesting.

But obviously then it cant be 62% of the 3220 maph, since youve only used 52% (48% battery left), but 62% of the 1674 maph that youve used so far. Learn something new every day!

Regardless..... Those #'s are pretty impressive! I generally only look at the screen on time. Thats the most important factor. We all know this phone will last for days in standby time, and who cares how long the battery will last if youre not using it...LOL.

Im at 15% battery left (after a long day) and have 5 hours and 35 minutes of screen on time -- Which would factor just over 6-1/2 hours on drain. You've saved me the need to purchase a spare battery!!!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] CheesyNutz:
I had the same problem and it took 4 charges for mine to settle in now I'm getting 5 + hours of screen time and 27 hours of battery

Here's where I am at stock with root...I'll flash v4 tomorrow before I add any apps. All see what I'm at.

I feel like there's something else wring here...at stock I should be higher?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol yea you got what I was trying to say lol..cant think when my gf is driving...too worried for my life lol...the times are essentially like a formula sum of the percentages...yea screen on time is the end goal...yea I'm getting stupidly long battery life lol gals I saved you the cash lol

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
Stock should be around 46k. Average.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Ehh that seems about right...you may be slightly lower than stock but in the ballpark ...you should gain around 50% battery life and between 6 and 10k antutu points over stock depending on your Setup on v4

Edit: just fyi stock sucks man...i was so annoyed with how slow stock was and how bad the battery life was i almost returned my note 4 tbh had twrp not come by the end of the first weekend it was going back...i didn't even carry it until I got it kitted up as my note 3 was still faster with my firekat n3 rom so don't get bummed out by how crap stock is i think we all felt the same way...now I'm in love with my n4 so it def helps

Check to make sure the md5 sums match up on the ROM file.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bjhatch:
I know this a noob questions...but I have no idea what that means. I've never ran into a bad md5...or atleast I didn;t know if I did. do you mean just compare the numbers of thwe file vs what in the op?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] twe90kid:
No system tuners of any kind running. Stock kernel..

I have Wanam, Xposed, gravity box...

No power saving...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bjhatch:
First test...I dropped to 31000

I don;t know what the problem can be. I odin flashed stock. rerooted then installed v4. no apps installed.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
You're flashing anj7 base right? With Odin 3.06 or 3.07? Odin flashing root...Odin flash Twrp. ..advanced wipe Data cached system dalvik...flash...

Obviosuly don't run it strait off flash...give it at least 25 mins to stop installing and building the system before benchmarking or your simply taxing your Note for no reason

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bjhatch:
3.07 Odin. I flashed anj7. Odin root and recovery.

This was odd though...when I Odin flashed stock I didn't wipe anything...I though this would drop a new pit file which would reset partitions...well it didn't so all my old apps where there.

I went through the process again. Reflashed stock etc.

Here's my latest results after rebooting
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
You're basically just dirty flashing the long way round....no odin stock flash does not ever wipe your device...you need to clean flash and wipe man...follow op

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bjhatch:
When I noticed it didn't wipe I used the stock recovery to wipe then re-odin flashed stock root and recovery

Maybe use twrp to wipe?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No or you'll just keep chasing your tail. ..id start over fresh and just do it properly through one time from odin stock to v4...literally follow the steps i laid out explicitly in the op and you can't mess it up tbh

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Gavin22:
Also...check your phone's temperature. With all you're doing, I bet its over 90 degrees -- close to 100 even. You're not going to get a high score unless the temp is UNDER 90 degrees. You'll get your best results if you run it 1st thing in the morning.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tkbredx:
Thanks. Yeah. I was gonna try switching my battery with a friend's and see if I get the same result. I may just be a super heavy user. Today I got 4 hrs and 10 minutes screen time though. So it might just need to settle a little more.

Battery isn't a huge issue though because fast charging is so great. I'm just glad this phone is flying!

Thanks for all you do Mega! Great work! Great patience! Great thread! By far the most noob friendly rom thread I've ever been in. You're the bomb. And I'm totally down with the raffle idea.

And for all the people getting low antutu scores. I got two 20,000 somethings back to back. I waited 10 minutes, ran it again and got 48k. Sometimes you just need to run it multiple times.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Awesome dude thanks alot...yea I can't stress how important the rest and settling in periods are. ...my builds don't even reach peak battery or performance for like 4 days or a few full charges lol so yea your off to a good start lol enjoy man

This was from moderate to heavy use.

I don't think I can hold off not installing this rom anymore. I blame everyone in this thread.

Question I have though is there anything I should do differently coming from a Canadian Note 4 (other than flashing a tmobile /nj7 kernel)? What is the best way to do a clean install? Should I install the stock NJ7 rom or can I go straight from my stock rom as long as I wipe? Hope this isn't a stupid question.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Thee_illuminati:
Ok so I'm on v4 and this rom is running super fast and amazing but I've always had random screen dims here and there even on my n3 on fk....so I'm wondering...if I'm a heavy user and always on full brightness...is this normal for it to do it once in a while?....I've been configuring my n4 like crazy right now....trying different themes on Wanam and whatnot...rebooting to make it take effect and bam! Screen dim....is that normal? Seems like it's warming up a little but it's running better then it's ever been...any suggestions? And yes I've done everything that the op2 says
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Man I really don't suggest this tbh...i completely understand wanting to run the rom but with the 4.4.4 bootloader issues and you not being able to flash our tmo anj7 base i can't recommend this...but im totally open to building your guys canadian n4 a firekat rom based on your stock base rom...i made the offer before but the few other kids never got me a deodex stock zip to build it from

If you're going to try this method i def suggest you track down one of the guys that have flashed fk on the Canadian n4 and see what they suggest

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yep yep completely normal to get a touch warm and have a dim or two during the initial setup depending on how much is going on and the rest period reboooting several times ect...the dimming stops once the builds settles and heat drops to roms normal temp...completely normal dude...haven't had my note be anything more than cool without a single dim since a few hours after flashing v4

Mega

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RaymondPJR:
I shouldn't butt in, but I think what they did was flash that custom kernel by Twistedunbrella. You've really got to know what you're doing to mess around with that though. Definitely not for newbs.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
On the ROM download page, to the right you'll see a list of numbers/letters: md5 = d83765a8e7de1e7a59694f1714e2dd1e

Once you've downloaded the ROM and if you're using a PC (Windows) there are tons of little apps that can check the md5 sum for you. For Mac users, just open up terminal, type in: md5 ....then drag and drop your ROM file in next to it and press Enter...violla...

Out of curiosity, what 128GB SD card are you using?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] n3gkiwi:
Well I was planning on using twistedumbrella's StarKissed kernel, just don't know the best method for a good clean install...

I was thinking I could either root first, and then install flashify to install the kernel and then boot into recovery... wipe... then install this rom. Or I was thinking I could use use TWRP install this rom and the kernel. If we only install this rom, we get stuck in a boot loop. I imagine I would be able to still boot into TWRP and flash the right kernel though, no?

I shouldn't have read through this thread..... I did it to myself!

Guys the rest and break in times are some of the most clutch factors in the rom performance and battery...i dont know how many more times I have to say it before people get it??

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RebDovid:
I believe it because I've experienced it: Immediately after upgrading from v3 to v4, my Antutu score was c. 25,000; a couple hours later it was 46-47,000. I haven't bothered checking since.

But I'd like to know why. Naively, I would have thought that solid-state, digital devices would not change over time in this fashion. Why do they?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Because you're flashing something on the order of 5,000 to 10,000 files or so everytime you flash the rom and that's just the system boot kernel ect...now in thr build you have apps your adding, dalvik run time controllers which build an entire library...same with cache, lib, data lib, ect...so every single lib, controller, and database systems need built ect...

Dont misunderstand the all digital/non moving hardware and the complexity of the system which is running on top of it...

Dude I know exactly what you are talking about with stock rom. It was so freaking laggy and everything took forever to load. On my note 3 action note popped up instantly, on stock note 4 it literally took around 2 seconds. Doesn't sound like a lot but it is very annoying. V2 made it much better but still a little slowness here and there. I can't wait to install V4 to feel the speed!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Amd4life:
Can anyone test this for me. If I choose any other keyboard , (Google play store version keyboard d), in the default settings. The new keyboard is enabled fine.

Once the screen locks, and then wakes up the keyboard has switched back to to stock Sammy.

Now I don't mind the stock Sammy keyboard, but I am curious why it keeps defaulting back, or is the Google keyboard borked somehow?

Great ROM by the way. V4 really makes this device fly.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No i know some people have run into this...i can't really find the cause or specifically what in their setup causes it but a fix is to freeze the stock kb with titanium if you run into it.

Boy, I wish I was eloquent enough to have said that. I can't speak for everyone, but you speak for me. I agree with everything you have said 1000%. I've worked with quite a few devs on different devices and different builds. I'm a software Test Engineer by profession and have had a lot of behind the scenes experience testing different ROMS over the years. I've also made my own at times. Mega without a single doubt is the best that I have ever met, hands down. I wish I would have found him a lot earlier!

Make sure your on the NJ3 firmware and do a backup in twrp then while still in twrp:

Factory reset

In advanced wipe tick cache,dalvik, system,data.

Install firekat

Install custom kernel..theres only 3 so pick one.

Reboot.

Thats it.

That said there's been alot of "how do i install/how do i wipe" questions lately, and yes its better to ask then brick your device but these types of questions should first be heavily researched before asking then asked in q&a and in the twrp or cwm threads not in a rom development thread.there IS TONS of info on these 2 basic things on xda..you just have to read a little :thumbup:

Its kind of expected that by the time you get to a development thread you know the basics. After all its a rom development thread not a how to install or wipe thread.
