Yea if there is a stylus with one of them similar to the g4 stylo then for sure that would be a killer option...I'm just not positive that's actually gonna happen...or that they could pull off a stylus based device without a wacom digitizer board which samsung owns a portion of that company as well lol...that would be awesome tho for sure

Damn, I guess I'll be asking you for your recommendation for a new device or to stick with the note 4 in September, I'm only buying devices that you support development for by the way :p

I can pretty much tell you off hand what I'm leaning towards bar some extraordinarily secret device that pops up in the next several weeks...

Note 5...not banking on it for once just seeing what the final build of it is...

If n5 falls thru...in this order...Lg g pro 3/g4 pro...note 4...Huawei x2...Huawei mate 8...Those are the only ones I'm considering...i guess I'll say nexus 6 because I have the pr build and may buy one as a dev toy someday...I'd never reco a nexus to anyone tho

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] greenlantern5:
Why wouldn't you recommend a Nexus Mega?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I've never been a fan of aosp...i don't like the fact google slop out buggy base builds one after the other and treat the nexus devices as beta test kits...i don't like paying flagship money for a device lacking any flagship features and one of the worst camera softwares on the android ecosystem...i mean you get the same experience on other generic device running stock aosp which can be flashed for free on basically any device to begin with and I have poprocks in n4 and nexus 6...and n4 is faster with better battery life running tw with all the features lol...other than the physical raw hw of the nexus 6 which is rather generic for its generation and the software is generic I would never reco a nexus unless the price was right for the right person only wanting a 6 inch device with decent hardware and doesn't mind the camera and battery issues but that's a big ask and long shot example when the note 4 would give you a better experience for similar money and size

I'm keeping an eye on the one plus 2 and 3rd gen moto x. Not sure either will be worth it though. My wife still has her 1st gen moto x and it has been great for her. She's looking for a new device.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Man the oppo plus 2 renders look good...and the price was good for the first one...but man i couldn't buy anything from oppo/one plus until they sort out their shady business tactics...the thought of sending them money feels like such a gamble after the feedback from last year

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nine5raptor:
They added the missing lte bands and the rest of the rumors are shaping up nicely. Not sure on the snapdragon 810 (is it all hearsay?) or the quality/customer service though.

The Note 5 could be a beast. I don't care about removable battery or really sd card. A great screen, camera, and awesome battery life I do need though. My device is for media consumption and creation, its not really a phone.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
The 810 is a mess that's true...it ruined the M9 the g flex 2 the Xioami MI note pro ect but...oppo and one plus are the same company...they used a hype game and fake competition to drum up demand then lied about it...only to have the documents come out lol...

then the products started and they sent out really crap products for the first hundred thousand devices or so...blocked negative comments on their support site...would go weeks without replying to customer service issues of broken or malfunctioning devices...has serious issues with the display that they recommended heating under a blow dryer or lamp or it may be months before a replacement...and on and on...

The amount of pm and messages I got during that period just from friends and users dumbfounded at the sheer gaul I started warning people in the threads to and least look up all the issues before sending them a dime...now they may have cleaned up shop now the hypes gone and they're basically obscure again...but bar an apology and serious movement toward customer care and basic product quality assurance...i can't in good conscious not warn people to at least research them out before hand

There's 4 or 5 other reputable better devices for similar money from other Chinese companies I'd be more than happy to reco..oppo is merely the one most people know of after last year...

Check out...zte nubia z7 and z7 max, Xioami MI x4, Vivo Xplay 3s, zte nubia z9, huawei mate 7, huawei p8...these are all similar spec amazing devices for the money

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nine5raptor:
I also have issues with zte and huawei after the security issues related to government influence. Look up reports on the program DARPA started in response to them. Xioami I don't know much about but they are intriguing.

Have had many motos and droids along the way. The nexus 5 and note 4 were the only deviations.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea I remember hearing about the reports a while back...it's hard with any device coming out of China because there is so little accurate information...I've never seen anyone ever report anything with a huawei and I built a firekat for the mate 7 but that doesn't make it untrue...and nonetheless the reports try to link the Chinese government which is communist lol so yea idk I guess in that sense every company is a Chinese asset...it's really confusing which partly I think is to the American and other manufacturers wanting to keep them from full fcc clearance because for quality devices for the money man the zte nubia devices the huawei and Xioami put together great kits

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
I think the G Pro3 or G4 Pro will be a good replacement for a note 4 since their specs are all better, also removable sd/battery but missing the stylus. However the Huawei look like nice large devices but spec wise cant really compare to a note 4. Less powerful, camera is on a lower level but the non-removable battery is large at 5000 mAh which is nice. What do you see about these Huawei devices Mega? would you ever make it your daily device or you would keep your daily between the note 4 or the G Pro 3/G4 Pro?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Now that is a slightly different question lol...

I honestly don't know if anything will replace my note 4 for my daily driver...i love and use the pen too much...it has an insane camera that I don't need to drop 800 for a slightly brighter night shot mode...and it has the ability to run kk and LP which no newer device ever will again...

That said if I were buying a secondary or backup is what I'm talking about all of these will be note 5 included unfortunately...people may not agree but imo the whole point of root and having a rom that will give you faster speeds and longer battery life or a more stable setup is so you can enjoy the device how you want without any confines of the device itself...so having xposed or the option to be back on firekat and my old setup in 30 mins can't be replaced by a slightly faster cpu or better camera...

Huawei build solid devices that perform a lot better than you may think...the mate 7 is nearly as powerful as the snapdragon 805 in note 4...it's somewhere in between n3 and n4...nice 6 inch screen ...and best biometric fingerprint scanner on any device to date apparently...they are just solid devices for the money considering they come similarly spec to say note 4 but cost 435 bucks brand new...

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
I understand :) Note4 as the daily unless G Pro 3 or G4 Pro have an Spen themselves. As a secondary its better to pick up a huawei as the specs are not far off from note 4 territory but the price is almost half. Depending on how it goes, I am 65% ready to buy a new Note 4, unless the LG's or the huawei get my attention but the question is, will it have Mega's development support on it, because without you these devices are useless ;) We will see come mid september when all of these are out :)

I have to say, I would go for the Huawei Mate 8 over the Huawei x2! Man the specs are amazing!!!!!!!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
For sure..and that's not to say I wouldn't replace n4 as my daily device...but the g pro 3 or g4 pro or whatever would have to be a few things...at least 6 inches...sd card...as good or better camera than n4...at and be able to be rommed...i could forgo the pen if everything else is checked off that rather small list as the size is worth more to me than the pen at this point for alot of the time

But the x2 is probably the one I'd personally go with its where I'm most seriously leaning and would probably be the only one really to replace n4 or proper n5

I know this is just my regular audio wakelock but why is it pinging so much? Haven't listened to youtube it anything just the recent thing was I installed V4A and followed your guide and I noticed the wakelocks start climbing :S you think I should delete V4A to check if it's that? If so any procedure to delete it snd do I need to change anything in the build props as I did during setting it up, wipe cache/dalvik as well?

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Well it's not concurrent...its in sumation that over x amount of screen time...and x amount of standby...audio triggers were used x number of times during this duration of usage time...it may vary somewhat depending on your day but system media is pretty much every stock sound your note makes

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
ahh, okay I will keep monitoring because there went 1 hr of battery life due to generic phone sounds lmao I hope you all have similar experience according to your WLD stats and if not then its definitely the V4A thats adding to this
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Wld May increase the sampling or frequency of it...that is possible...but I don't want you to misunderstand those aren't 48 mins of your battery life eaten up...that's a total of 48 mins of trigger times where 2222 triggers occured over a total of 17 hours accounting for a fraction of 3% of your wls as a whole so context is crucial...see below

it's why I tell people don't mind the system side of wld because system functions are on a different scale than your apps as they are crucial to making your setup function how it does...

Thank you for the awesome FireKat Rom. Really appreciated. First time using this rom. Any custom kernel or any method to use the DT2W for Note 4????? Thank you
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Awesome dude glad you're enjoying it...no clue about knock on...i always reco stock kernel unless using vr since the best battery lives and best performance have come from stock...but if you're trying to get tap to wake you'll have to go custom...enjoy man

Thanks Mega for the quick reply. I will keep Exactly what you already put in FK Rom. I just miss the DT2W the screen on like LG G3 and Sony Z3. :good: Best battery life I have here :good: :D
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No problem man...you always have the option of making a backup once you get your setup settled in...the you could try a kernel and if you don't like it or it kills your battery or stability ect then you could restore the backup...but if your setup is running well for you lol I know how hard it is to change a thing lol enjoy bro

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
That's paranoia a little over the top for me lol...are there exploits in android? Sure...is it remotely likely that A you'll get hit by such an exploit a programmer found?...B I could do much much worse stuff given near total access to how many thousands of your guys devices and even if I gain total access...how serious is the data you store on the note and then how would I go about benefiting having stolen it? Stealing data in reality is easy...using it or making it do anything is the hard part lol

Imo it's worth noting and interesting but the relatively basic info on my note and extreme unliklihood of getting said text randomly I wouldn't think much of it

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] catseyenu:
Thanks Mega.

Yeah I'm not worried so much about my files being pilfered (Google and god only knows who else already has all that), but ID credentials and further escalation of exploits once access is attained are.

950 Million hacked platforms would be one hell of a weapon.

Fellas just a heads up...a buddy of mine tipped me off to an article on sammobile...given they basically give samsung a cop out for every stupid thing and annoying move I've lost all respect and quit going to sammobile...it's become click bait rumors and rehashing old news over and over...

Unfortunately this ones no different except for one paragraph there's an interesting comment tho...android m will encrypt all micro SD cards locking them only allowed to be used with 1 device...meaning even if a manufacturer includes the card Google is trying to punish them and the end user for doing so...by removing basically the only other benefit aside from more storage space...is ease of transfer of data between devices or using 1 card on 2 devices...just as they pulled with class 6 source drivers when they quit supporting and updating the source at class 6 leaving users class 10 cards to fail about 50% of the time...so be warned...before you consider another device...it's become the size and hw...Root and rom ability....and now apparently well have to devate software and features if we feel like buying a handicapped device for 800 dollars or not...just relaying the bad news...android authority validated the accusation leading it seem that Google is in fact being bigger b!t@hes than usual...

Using Firekat v13 AOA1 Canadian and i keep getting random freezes where everything freezes and nothing responds resulting me in pulling the battery.

Same here but, it only occurs when I reach a certain percent, say 25 percent And, I'm on the t mobile Rom
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MistaC4:
It happened at 50-60 ish percent it happens when going from landscape mode to portrait (Ex. backing out of a youtube video or any app) As well as the battery life is decent at most but around the same as stock 4.4.4 Canadian but overall performance seems slightly better but the app switching lag is still there.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
You def have a serious problem with your setup...the average battery life on v11x is 5.25 hours screen on and increased slightly on v13x to around 5.5 ...its about 40% increase over stock so yea...something is def wrong lol...but a bugger issue there's a ton of guys still running fk can with no reports of any reboots or freezes...did you come back from lollipop?

Yea dude you have to wipe internal storage when you go back everytime...Wipe internal clean...Odin a0a1...clean flash...follow op/op2...tbh v11x was nearly as fast and instant as poprocks...apparently v13x is snappier from all the feedback posted...so once you get your setup sorted you should be set... in 11 builds of fk that i ran on my note before starting dev poprocks I never had a reboot or freeze...and only 4 force closes for context

I wanted to add the fact that for the first time ever ( which obviously happened due to a mistake on my part ) I was able of restoring a backup of a ROM that had fingerprint lock enabled where the functionality was not impaired (!?!?!). I've done the same mistake a couple of times in the past with other ROMS and the fingerprint database always got broken. Is this an expected behaviour on your ROM or I just got lucky?
