You need to go into the superuser app and change it from "prompt" to "allow"... I wish it were different, but that's apparently how you're suppose to do it as per the instructions on the first page.

If anyone knows a way to get the su app to prompt for access again, I'd appreciate it.

but i already have SU access .

but i just installed the latest verison TB and sorted the issue
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] GilGameshn1:
I tell my experience with ART . I think it ART , but you should not worry bros . In the big brother matter , Galaxy Nexus , when we change to ART everything is take much more time but with help of lollipop you will see the difference . And as you know we used ext4 file system ,the ones who had root access should use fstrim command or install lagfix from playstore. I think with the full wipe and a cache clear and manually wipe some system folders in exsdcard you should be OK and of course will be more happy in lolipop than kk . Regards

I got high CPU usage too so I restored my nandroid. Is there any chance of a striped back ROM without any samsung bloat?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] jpbl1976:
I'm assuming you meant "stripped-back" ROM. Laters builds are likely to be slightly de-bloated based on what not-i's done in the past.

As far as absolute bloat-removal, I recall there was someone who shared a de-bloater script in the Apps and Themes section but I don't know if it works with Lollipop ROMs. You should check there if that's something you're interested in.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] not-i:
This had also been slightly de-bloated but remember users that I liked to keep most things in.

It's easier for users to remove what they want after install than it is for me to put them back in

New Xposed 3.0 Alpha 3 Released

Will we have compatibility?

""I have just uploaded a new flashable ZIP for Xposed 3.0 alpha3 (xposed-sdk21-arm-20150426.zip).

You only need to flash the ZIP again, the Xposed Installer app remains the same (and therefore still shows version alpha2). If XposedBridge.jar has version 64 after a reboot, the new version is active.

Changes:

- Fixed issues with replacing drawables

- Fixed NoSuchMethodError in handleInitPackageResources

- Possibly fixed some errors on ROMs that start in permissive SELinux mode and switch to enforcing mode later""

Just give it time. Lollipop is problematic with battery life regardless of the device manufacturer but it eventually settles down based on my experience with this and other devices and what other Note 4 users are saying. In any case, there aren't any custom kernels worth flashing at the moment.

i saw one in previous post that if we re root the SuperSU zip, we can get the prompt again, but now after flashing the chainfire supersu in ODIN, i got stuck in boot..

there are a few apps that i need to run with the superSU prompt to make it work, is there any other way?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] tweeny80:
Don't use Odin to flash SU zip ... use custom recovery. Also I have been trying different things with DrKetan's help to see what can be done to flash a ROM, not pre-rooted, then flash SU zip to regain the su prompt - so far no luck.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] liquidz17:
no no,i mean i flash the tar file one, but with odin, i don't trying flash the su zip in custom recovery.

seems it can't be worked for several apps that required root..
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] tweeny80:
Yes some apps for me are not getting root even though su is set to grant all

I think Google is to blame here not Samsung.

For example - Notifications Off and Disable Services aren't working due to no root access
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] dr.ketan:
I didn't get you. Can you tell me notification off and disable service from where? I have SELenux kernel (So prompt option working) on my device so i can check it is issue with that or not.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] tweeny80:
Hi, each of these apps is on the play store, spelled exactly as I wrote. They appear at top of the app list.

Both install fine, but go to actually do an action and save it within the app - and nothing happens.

Btw, i just realize i can't use the samsung chinese pinyin input..can someone verified this?i already change the input when i want to type, but when i press the keyboard button to start texting..nothin happens..like the keyboard didn't recognize what i'm typing (blank in textbox) except spacebar the only one that working
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] dr.ketan:
OK I have tested Notification Off and working fine here. Don't know it may be SELinux enforcing issue.

But this app does same thing what stock feature does

Setting-Sound and notification-Application notification-select app you don't want to notify and Block

PS : That third party app make changes here only.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] tweeny80:
How about the other, Disable Services? That app can turn off individual services within system apps, helps reduce wakelocks in turn battery lasts longer.

It simply won't work for me. In KitKat it worked well
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] dr.ketan:
Try this

Settings-permission manager(it could be App Opps in [MENTION=4503214]not-i[/MENTION] ROM as per OP)- Device - there are many service listed you can turn of permission for it depends on they offer.

BTW I have observed samsung have blocked some service with SELinux enforcing status on lollipop recent base.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] tweeny80:
Thanks, yes I was aware of the ROM options similar to those of the apps I described.

The apps have a bit more functionality but more to the point, root isn't working for them.

Q: When I get a "heads up notification " at the top of my screen, is it suppose to be actionable? Nothing happens when I click on it,and I'd expect to be taken the appropriate app. For notifications from twitter, I can only clear it.

Also, is there any way to disable the heads up notification completely? I find it distracting and would rather have the notification ticker like in KK.

What do people use to quickly restore everything and all the apps? Is so tedious redoing everything through Titanium BU
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] jpbl1976:
Aren't you using the batch restore feature in TBUP? It takes 10 minutes.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] kopkiwi:
Yeah, takes a little longer with the amount of apps I'm using.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] jpbl1976:
Isn't there a way to create a flashable zip out of TPUB backups? I seem to recall that you can do this by choosing the create update.zip from app+data backups option in batch actions. That way you just flash them in from recovery. How many apps are you using anyway? I restore around ~300 I think...
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] kopkiwi:
580 or so..

I also now can't use TBUP for some reason. Isn't detecting root/supersu
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] jpbl1976:
Is your SuperSU set to grant? I had the same issue when not-i first released his Lollipop ROM. He has a note in red in his ROM post about Root and he pointed me to it. Basically -- as I understand it -- because the ROM's pre-rooted, you don't get prompted because of an SELinux issue so you have to grant root automatically from the SuperSU app.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] kopkiwi:
YEp, just found it :)

Now the fun part of setting everything up again. Blurred UI being the most tedious of them.

Not to burst your bubble but the xPosed Alpha for Lollipop doesn't work on Samsung ROMs -- the Dev says he can't figure out all the changes Sammy made to ART yet so it may take time. So no Blurred UI.

About the System / systemui high cpu issue

I posted about high CPU consumption of both system and systemui in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60348921&postcount=1370

I've installed CM12 on my Note 2 (n7100) to observe if lollipop is the cause of this issue, and there appears to be no problems on that phone running Lollipop. Does anyone have any ideas on how to find out what's causing the high CPU on my Note 4 running either Sweet ROM or Stock Lollipop? I've been freezing systems apps, but it hasn't helped at all with this specific problem.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] kopkiwi:
Yeah just bloody realised that. Might switch back the Kitkat. The notification area and those awful colors look ****ing terrible.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] jpbl1976:
Not certain your test will provide any meaningful conclusions. You're basically comparing Apples and Oranges. While the Note 2 and Note 4 are both manufactured by Samsung, they're hardly the same device and Sammy has made so many changes to ART that it's hard to even call Sammy's 5.0 update 'Lollipop' at this stage -- so it's tough to even compare it to CM.

Moreover, if you go by other device threads, High CPU usage and Battery Life appear to be real issues with Lollipop. Even a stock 'reference' device like the Nexus 5 suffered from poor battery life (among other things) and there were also reports of excessive heating after the 5.0 update (although it did get better after 5.1). That's not even mentioning the worst bug -- a memory leak that all but rendered it useless. It could be anything -- apps not releasing resources, too much location polling, etc. What's more CM tends to be better tuned than even stock Android -- although it's gotten bloated over the years.

To answer your question: I've not encountered an app that acts like OSX's activity monitor. I think you could derive it from other information like battery usage -- i.e. more CPU usage = higher battery usage.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] EP2008:
I'm just crossing my fingers here :D There must be something causing the high CPU that's in our control - a feature I can turn off or freeze.. just something :( Other than that, Lollipop runs really well. I'm pretty happy with the update.

Benchmarks are controversial. Do you sit around with your friends comparing whose 'Benchmark' is biggest? Probably not (I hope).

Does the UI seem more fluid? Probably yes. Tradeoffs? Yes again. I would argue it's a good tradeoff.

Just remember to first go back into SuperSU settings and change back to "prompt"

If you have been reading anything about the Note 4 lollipop update you will find comments like this in every thread. It is not fault of the rom but whatever Samsung or ART does to the benchmark app.

[MENTION=4503214]not-i[/MENTION] So, when I bought my N910C it came with Uzbekistan 4.4.4 N910COXE1ANK5 and I live in Miami, Fl. My signal was good until I updated to Lollipop BC05. Yes im rooted and ive already tried to update to the latest everything using Odin and using every source, so ive been looking for a solid answer but I haven't found one yet,

Can I flash ANK5 4.4.4 Modem(KitKat) into my BC05 5.0.1 (Lollipop) Rom???

some users said yes and some, it will brick the device,

Can anyone give me a solid answer? I will appreciate the help so much,

thanks in advance,

Cheers
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] not-i:
I'm pretty sure it won't brick your device. Get the modem from post #3 in my Sweet Rom N910C thread and flash in recovery (cwm or twrp). Also get the newest lollipop modem just in case you have trouble and you can flash back.

There may be other factors beside the modem though. There could be changes in the firmware too but give it a go anyway
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] tweeny80:
For me, I've done the following to help prolong battery life:

Moved multiple System apps to User apps via Titanium (Maps, Play Music, Drive etc)

Greenify those apps (we can't greenify system apps without xposed)

Then use Wakelock Detector or similar to identify what's eating your battery - then deal to those apps with a hammer! Use ROM App Ops to limit permissions where needed.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] EP2008:
My issue is still the system and systemui processes running high on cpu usage for no good reason. Nothing in the logcat, wakelocks or process monitor apps are giving me clues as to why it's happening. I've been more aggressive with freezing system apps, and it's made no difference at all. I've also gone and disabled each setting one by one why monitoring the process' cpu usage and it hasn't budged. This is the only issue I'm having.

I hear ya ... though for me the steps I described have helped so far. The main action that made a difference was relentlessly freezing system apps thru TiBackup. I used a thread from General section as a guide what can be froze while still maintaining a functional phone.

And maybe a coincidence or not, but my system started deep sleeping more after freezing the Samsung crap - Suggests to me one of those system apps was causing the extended wakelocks.

My god there are literally 20+ system apps that have no effect to my usage. Your mileage may vary. I reckon freeze more than u already have and evaluate from there.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] EP2008:
Yeah, I have a list of apps I freeze, and have frozen for a loooong time without issue. But I've stared a new list of "test apps" just to see if they have any positive or negative impact. Apart from the system and systemui thing, nothing is really better or worse (I do have more ram available though).

I'm almost wondering if I could flash a new systemui file (modded) just to see if there's something with it that changes. Seeing com.android.systemui.imagewallpaper running 24/7 as an active process drives me nuts! LOL
