ZOMFG!

First impressions are amazing!

The UI is much smoother (even though it felt nice and smooth before).

My 4G LTE seems to be much more stable. Whereas before it fluctuate between 4G end 3G its been staying locked on LTE mode and my downloads are nice and speedy so far.

My GPS used to stutter and and it seems much more stable now. I am a heavy Waze and Ingress user, so GPS accuracy is very important to me.

For those of you who want to back up your apps here is what I did. I just told it to restore/sync my google account. It synced my contacts, e-mail, and apps that I already had on the phone. Very cool. I knew it would do the contacts, calendars and whatnot, but I wasn't too sure about the apps. It only downloaded and installed the apps I had on the phone before I flashed it. Nothing else.

So thanks to the OP who has put in (probably) crazy hours putting this together. When I get some ca$h, i'll be sure to hit up that donate button.

Excellent work indeed my good Sir.

There are no dumb questions buddy...only dumb people lmao...no worries id rsther you ask instead of have issues with your new toy...in the op if you look at number 3 or number 4 it says advanced wipe and the exact 4 to choose...but you're right I didn't account for or specifically say if you don't have an ext sd...but you're correct simply leave both unchecked anyway as you don't need/want to wipe internal or external storage regardless then flash as usual...just follow instructions to the T and you'll be cruising...enjoy dude

Loving v4. I've only had my note 4 for a few days. But, I can tell how much it is improved with your rom. Thanks so much
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Wow man thank you very much for excellent write up and detailed feedback I really do appreciate it especially considering the complexity of this 4.4.4 build on the n4.....im super excited that v4 smoothed over the last few remaining issues in v3...ill be honest man this 4.4.4 has been way more difficult to build for, not only due to the insane amount of selinux, knox, and secure storage issues, sd card lockouts, plus the kit kat crap itself with super slow stock animations and transitions ect to overcome, and the host of proprietary samsung features integrated both in hw and sw tied together in the firmware/framework ect 4.4.4 took me two full builds more to sort thru the issues to the point I had to backdoor knox with a set of mods and hacks i developed myself over this last weekend...all in all I'm super happy with v4 and how's it's taken the note 4 up another level beyond anything I've ever seen on a mobile device pushing closer to what feels more like a pc experience...def happy to have the issues behind us now the fun begins...considering where we were 2 weeks ago on stock semi locked down with all this hw being wasted to right now on v4...im totally happy with how v4 turned out for us...glad you're all enjoying it now we can get to the hanging out an chatting I'm not used to having many issues or troubleshooting in my roms after v1 lol glad that's pretty much done

Not an APP Question

First things first. I LOVE YOUR WORK!

Is it possible to hide root, or even unroot so I can use Samsung Wallet? I use it for work (employee ID and barcode ID's). I really like the APP and the widget makes for quick access of daily tasks. If I find a way to hide the root, will that screw with any functionality of the build?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
That is why my friends, this is the Best, most complete, thoroughly built ROM, for the N4.

V4 is running great! Hitting 49k while I have everything open...decided to run a bench in the middle of normal everyday use. Impressive. I did tell myself, no more benchmarks lol...I actually just deleted Antutu....

If there ever was a time, v4 is that time. It's the best decision you will make as it was mine. Enjoy!

Did it work for you after disabling? Or still has yet to work?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No its entirely possible to run the rom without root. ..i fact the only benefit root gives once your on the build is using root apps...if you wanna unroot...open supersu...settings...full/completely unroot and that will uninstall the su binarie root files from your system...but you can leave the rom on and do everything from op2 as usual minus disabling dvfs...there's a girl on here doing this very thing due to her work...using the rom for the performance battery and camera but root wasn't allowed and was searched/detected by her work...but is it worth it for something like wallet? How often are you actually gonna use it vs say a sweet wanam theme or Adaway? Just a thought

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Dude I really appreciate all the support youve had for the rom and thread man...i totally appreciate all you guys who have been here helping out and pitching in to help out others in the thread...it def made it way easier for me to focus on the build itslef...now that all rom side issues should be done and here on out should be some random user issues....so let the fun begin bro...thanks to you and to everyone else for everything it's much appreciated

Mega

Ps yea I laughed cuz a few people got scores like within 1000 points of V3 which has been out for like a week...vs day one of flash completely unbroken in...and they're like Ehh a little disappointed what can I do to boost it from like 46/47 to 48/49k. ..strait off flash while setting up everything lmao...benchmarks are done i won't do any more now for test between builds there's no point...the real speed is like 55k on my note if it could test how reactive it "feels" and "moves"
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] projectvomit:
Your absolutly right. It is a bit silly. I'm just a fan of TW and the look of it and i only use wallet for the quick barcode access. I'll mow over my options LOL. Thank you!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] twe90kid:
Download and install xposed. Then download and install RootCloak. Add the Samsung Wallet app into RootCloak. This will tell the app that your not rooted.

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ

Voting time...after so many requests of donations over the past year and a half or so since I've come back and starting posting roms again I've been bombarded by really awesome people wanting to show their appreciation by donating....while I totally love the sentiment i have always declined and refused to take donations...i always felt it was contrary to what xda was originally about when i first got started...back then it would've been unheard of but these days you can't view a page without people literally asking for donations or begging sympathy pay for their "time"...i was always sort of making a "stand" against the change of culture on xda from a community to an us and them separation of devs and users...my threads are all mini communities unto themselves and that's the way I like it...so now thst you understand my reasoning why I never tool them and considering these are literally my personal roms i would use/build either way it's not like I'm going out of my way but thr thread and support and updates and improving ect is all time consuming and complex so i totally understand the trade off...

My proposition for opening a donation box is this. ..i will open the box and as money gathers give periodic updates about the amounts then when we reach a certain monetary goal I will buy a flagship device...a note 4 exynos 64 bit compatible a57 next gen cpu monster, or galaxy s6 in a few months, or a tab s 8.4 ect...build a one-off custom kit including a full custom rom, my personal setup, completely optimized and customized with my personal method and setup, my favorite apps included ect...

Then I would do a raffle...completely Fajr...unbiased based on a system we all agree on that would entire you in for the raffle with a single 1$ donation...then the winner would get the device. ..if the account racks up more and more money I'll continue to do cool device raffles with my personal builds setup and tweaked by me just for the winner....if you agree and support this idea hit the thanks on this post...if you disagree please post a response and I'll def consider your argument...it's not guaranteed, my mind is not made up, and this will never be a focus of my threads or even my profile lol...i never planned to make money off this that's never been the goal so i think this is a cool fair way that would benefit everyone involved. Let me know your thoughts

Only problem i have had is screen cast doesn't work but It works on dynamic kats rom. I love your rom my friend and i truly appreciate your time you have put into it. If you have any ideas as to why it won't work i would love to have some feedback. Thanks again
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Did you update the allshare cast dongle in play store/galaxy app storr? And I'm guessing obviosuly you made sure no mods were interfering and you didn't disable anything in the system? cuz all the files and functions are still there so it should work just fine man tbh

Great update Mega, no issues so far.

Has anyone been able to theme the signal bars? I downloaded a theme app from exposed but it only changes the wifi icon

I just installed v4 of the firekatn4 rom to a freshly rooted tmobile n4. I was wondering, is there anything else I need to do to achieve the great battery/speeds people claim? I am fairly new and had a friend root/install the rom for me and am unsure if I am benefiting right now because it looks nearly like a factory reset; I checked about phone and it states the firekat rom.. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PlatinumNick:
the best bet for you is to look up the app called greenify its the best app to preserve battery life

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] n3gkiwi:
Really wish I didn't see that post. I JUST got my Note 4 and am thinking of rooting and getting this rom already.. The very slight bit of lag on touchwiz is bugging me. I already do not like how s finder and quick connect show on the notification panel (things like that)... Should I just make the jump now? Is there anything from stock that I will lose or miss? From what I have read, the answer is no so I likely answered it myself. Argh, I haven't even used it for a full day on stock.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Rinthe:
I think i rooted after I got the OTA update from Samsung. Is that still ok?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
Do make the jump. Also, keep in mind that we shouldn't expect the N4 to be at its full potential as we are all aware of the bloatware that comes on the stock software. It's a given. No surprise there.

Congrats on your new N4! Now ready to unleash the beast? Jump aboard....v4 will make you think you're on an upgraded device. Note 4.5 LOL.

If you want, maybe you should use your N4 on stock for a few days or so, that way you can really experience the contrast for when you flash FireKatv4. That way you can fully appreciate what v4 brings to the table.

The slight lag and stuff that you are mentioning will be the thing of the past. No worries...v4 is TW at its finest.

If you have any questions or need help...feel free to ask! There's a lot of great folks on here who can help. :good:

Mega, I'm so thrilled with what you've been able to do with V4 (don't know what to improve on for V5 frankly), but I'm a little worried. Is lollipop as much of a ***** as it appears? What are your thoughts looking forward?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
It's still hard to tell....so far it's ever so slightly leaning more toward the dooms day of ROM's, however....the wonderful people here (Dev's) have cracked things before so....we'll just have to see..... I too am hoping that we don't face the ice ages.

On the bright side, chainfire has successfully rooted 5.0 so we'll see...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ShrekOpher:
I got one quick question. How come the ROM doesn't support ART? The stock ROM worked great for me with ART but when I try to turn it on while using this ROM it just reboots back into davlink.

Any ideas?

Using v4.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] egren58:
Hello i tried your rom and i was wondering if you could make a small mod to get the same sound quality from firekat v4 i tried your rom but i had issues with fingerprint and some other app so im stock but i loved how the sound came out from your rom im willing to make a donation..
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ergibson83:
Mega, awesome ROM and awesome idea. I'm glad to be apart of this awesome thread. Thanks for your contributions to the XDA community bro!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RaymondPJR:
No problems with fingerprint scanner here! Even Google Pay set up with no problems. I'd try again, just make sure you delete fingerprint scans before you flash. Follow the directions in the OP especially the part about flashing clean.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Because dalvik is wayyy more optimized and fully compatible. ..stock vs stock they're about equal performance but art has way too many bugs and incompatibilities left and vs my heavily optimized dalvik controller art is a huge steak backwards

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
There shouldn't be any issues with fingerprint or apps/storage if you flash the rom properly following the op instructions

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Imo google is trying to lock down android...they've been doing this more and more with each build...now 5.0 has knox in the source code and all root points got patched in the system...now if a manufacturer or carrier device to lock a device there's no possible root or roms....there's also a very high likelihood that even unlocked boot devices may not be rommable...but maybe root...i literally bought a n4 day 1 to ensure I got it on 4.4.4...I've saved tons of stock roms, odin, root ect plus an hd with hundred of my roms for when 5.0 comes imo it's the beginning of the end...not to mention the ugliest most cartoonish android to date...I've have zero interest from what little benefits or improvements were made its basically all security and themes with very little true enhancements...none of my devices will have lollipop for the forseable future

New to tmobile note 4

Been on the fence about ditching my waaay overpriced VZN plan with ONE Note-3... KireKat(V4) has PUSHED me OVERBOARD lol... Getting (2) Note-4s tomorrow for about $15 more than my current SINGLE ZVN Note-3 plan!!! Question... Im reading the OP and the setup suggestions regarding this and that... But what does and does NOT really still apply since FireKats inception and bad-ass updates??? Seems quite a bit has been superseded since V1 no?!?! Of course, MY Note-4 is getn wacked right-out-the-box!!! Wifey can enjoy hers stock (for a little while) and Ill use hers to compare the FireKat goodness and really appreciate the DIFFERENCE!!!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol awesome man...but I'm not sure I follow...there were only 2 this and that's really...dont wipe internal storage and clear fingerprint scans...are they necessary now not really but they're really easy things to clear up before flashing so it makes sense to just do it to avoid any issues anyway imo

First, let me say that this is the first ROM in which unrestricted tethering has actually worked for me. I'm a new T-Mobile customer with unlimited mobile data and a 5GB tethering cap, and every other ROM and mod I've tried thus far has either not worked or has redirected me to a T-Mobile splash page.

Ok, now I've got a couple questions:

1. Can I reset the volume adjustments to stock?

2. Can I add a mobile hotspot button to the notification panel?

3. Can I disable the T-Mobile screen and jingle that plays every time I turn on my phone?

Dude, I just QUICKLY unplugged my Rapid-Charger!!! hahaha Seriously tho... Thanks for an excellent explanation of this (ran a little THANKS-happy today, and ran out of my daily allotment - but you did get a few of those!!)... I have always been concerned with this, and wondered if it was a "calibrated-fault" or an ACTUAL decrease in capacity/memory... Especially after hearing so much about lithium-ion cells not being vulnerable to this... I also agree about the amount of debate and misinformation that is spread... This definitely clears it up for me tho... Thanks again, especially for the amount of detail in the explanation... It covered any additional questions that might have been brought up - GOOD JOB!! haha I used that Sammie discount to pick myself up the battery charging kit and spare battery at 50% off, so yeah, the replacement issue (even if needing another down the road) was not a heavy expense - but after flashing your ROM, I believe I will be getting the best of my battery(s) no matter what)... Let me ask you this tho: Would you refrain completely from using the Quick-Charger that came with the Note4 (maybe just stick with the charging kit I bought and swap batteries that way), or just not leave it on the quick-charger in any excessive amt?? Or maybe just use it as needed for charging my phone FAST?? This may be a bit off topic from your ROM-discussion, sorry for that, but I first believed it may have been a valid concern for when it came time to flash firekat v2... Thanks again for your help on this topic!! Can't wait until your upload is done!! Stoopid TWC <- had them before, and know what you mean...
