Once again Samsung is knee capping the older devices to focus on the new release. On purpose too. This is unreal and unreasonable, next device will be the 2015 nexus phone. Bring on AOSP
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] dennis nai:
Agreed if the note 4 and note edge improve too much than they will make their job harder for note 5

We can not wait for samsung we can only find improvement from xda developer
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] jpbl1976:
My main concerns with Lollipop are smoothness and battery life. I've never even tried benchmarking my Note 4. I could care less about a score that doesn't really translate to the real word.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] Alcibiade:
Indeed I came from 50k down to 45k

We need a good custom kernel to fix this. Hopefully there will be devs helping there.

---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------

I don't think so. Note 5 is far from being out yet and they still want to sell the Note 4. Besides with enough changes in the Note 5 (A la S6) they won't need to differentiate by dragging down the Note 4.

I think it's just laziness, carelessness and focus on S6 that makes them not issue more optimized software. But again with good devs, a good kernel could fix this. And if we're lucky hybrids ROM coming from S6 may enable 64 bit and better performance (Won't be easy though...)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] GilGameshn1:
They don't even care for wallpapers that suits the Note 4 well ! I hate to see this things . Laziness at best by Samsung .

The fact is they don't care for details.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] dennis nai:


I dont mind to pay for that if they can do it

---------- Post added at 04:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:31 PM ----------

Agreed that guys at samsung is lazy or they are not good enough,if you were to notice lots of improvement in their new product is copied from xda developers
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] skeamznz:
Benchmarking doesn't mean much really. Lollipop has increased the performance apps open quicker because of art transitions are smoother etc.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] Alcibiade:
I was already on ART with KK for a long while... Kind of hoping to get a bit more than just that as far as performance is concerned
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] dennis nai:
Yes benchmark does not mean at all, i put two note 4 together 1 with kk tweaked and 1 with lollipop standard

And when i open a website together the later took afew sec more to open up. That seems bad to me,why just for name sake of haveing the latest firmware if it can not performe better than the one before
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] skeamznz:
I've experienced nothing but a smoother faster experience. Did you full wipe?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] dennis nai:
Yes on note 4 and note edge, for this 2 device i am back on kk till a custom rom and kernel is out
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] mkim055:

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] Alcibiade:
Hopefully Perseus will be adapted to the 910U Lollipop
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] not-i:
Flashing my second build right now. 1st build worked well but have done a few mods now testing. If no problem will upload for tomorrow morning download for you guys.

I will work on further mods for the next version but I just want to get one out for you to try.

By the way I'm still on KK bootloader with no issues I have found so far. I'll upload 5.0.1 modem now too but only use it if flashing lollipop rom

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] Ausboy 2011:
Not-i mate would the latest build of 910C work on the 910U with our new modem?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] somemadcaaant:
And does it have the silent mode everyone was complaining about? Think BOC3 brang it back for other devices but U BOC2 has a higher changelist.

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 PM ----------

Reboot menu is the only one I care about, but what other mods do lollipop roms have now?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] mkim055:
It still has the issue that you need to unmount extsd card to install some apps from playstore. It gets rather annoying.

Also I dont think you can revert back to stock kernel.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] jpbl1976:
Well, for one, there's the memory leak xPosed framework for Lollipop ROMs below 5.1. It's supposedly working fine on all sub 5.1 Lollipop ROMs. ICYMI, xPosed now works on Lollipop; actually curious if not-i will include it in his ROM; I haven't been paying attention to what he's done for other variants.

There are a few others I've seen on the repo -- including one that enables silent mode. As far as non-xPosed apps are concerned, Chainfire has Recently, which allows you to display only running tasks instead of all the apps you've run.

What I'd love to see for our ROM are these UI mods -- I rather like the color choices; not fond of Sammy's default teal >> http://xdaforums.com/note-4/themes-apps/theme-customize-galaxy-note-4-n910f-t3017621

Incidentally: [MENTION=4503214]not-i[/MENTION], if it's no trouble -- in case you're planning to add the 3-minit battery mod, would you mind also providing the flashable zip that removes it? I reckon it'll be a different zip file for Lollipop. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] tweeny80:
I agree on the theming.... I've read threads with some cool color mods that really enhance the visuals. Why on earth do they insist on that horrible teal scheme?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] not-i:
Answer your question?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] Danmann:
We can check this.

We need just the ROM :P

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] Alcibiade:
Aww no Xpose or hybrid of newer built and 910U modem? :'(
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] AlexxxR:
Well, twice now the mega download has died at 99%, this is killing me!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] tweeny80:
Bro, how would not-i get xposed up and running when the developer himself hasn't enabled TW ROMs yet? Better do more reading, fella
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] Fouss93:
Great Job ! Thanks for the speed XD

After 3 hour of donwload i might test it !

I also want to say if you update from KitKat when you restor apps with Titanium Backup their is many issues and you may remove the app to donwload it from the store !

TB will get freezing so it's no necessary i think, and Xposed didn't work too on Samsung 5.0 update (it was a surprise for me XD)

Sorry for my english :S
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] AlexxxR:
This is going to be the most stock phone I have ever used...
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] tweeny80:
Yeah I'm so used to all the benefits of xposed ... I fully believe rovo will get it running at some point but the wait, oh the wait. More of the same!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] AlexxxR:
I feel like the user of a low end, older device, with the amount of dev interest we have in our device. I remember getting my Galaxy S2, and there was, ans still is, a huge choice of AOSP and Samsung roms. But now, I have one. It is an excellent rom, but as android users, we are here for choice. And we are no longer getting that on Samsung devices. This is going to be my last, for now. Bring on the 2015 Nexus.

For now though., I just want the download of 5.0 to finish!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] mkim055:
Dont download from your pc, it gets stuck at 99% sometimes
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] not-i:
I will provide new modem link soon
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] Alcibiade:
Same feeling here (Coming from a Nexus 7 & Nexus 5)

It's a pity since by far Samsung has the best hardware among Android devices (At least for my usage). Nexus 6 was not good enough for me but I soooo much regret the vanilla android (Or CM12)

Titanium Backup Hanging?

Anyone getting Ti Backup hanging at detecting Super SU and Busybox? Is this a Ti Backup issue? Thought this was fixed already.

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] addro:
Very nice ~ THX~
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] mkim055:
Very smooth, phone is running rather warm, probably still settling down, will need to wait and see for battery
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] not-i:
Thanks heaps mate. I saw that come through and was wondering who it was. Hope you enjoy the rom :)

Yeah it gets a bit warm on install but does settle. Mines fine now.

I reckon you'll need a few battery cycles though as the other roms seemed to get better after some time
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] AlexxxR:
Flashed modem, now i have no service -_-

Spoke too soon, after a minute or two the service connected. Odd...

If it's no trouble, I'd love to see this mod on Sweet ROM: http://xdaforums.com/note-4/themes-apps/theme-ui-theme-910f-note-4-t3075702. I wonder if the dev of these tweaks would be willing to help us out?

Damn... I just paid a visit to the xPosed thread -- looks like Sammy shafted us (yet again) with their implementation of ART. It doesn't look like the Alpha works on Samsung stock ROMs.

S6 Launcher looking and running well on V9 plus some other S6 apps. Only issue is black status bar which I will try fix
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] mkim055:
Could we have the following features if possible!

1.) (Column x row) 5x5 and 5x6 for home screen and app drawer.

2.) 6 icons including app drawer icon for dock please!! Would be handy to have that extra icon space.

I tried Viper4Android, installs fine, but cannoy enable it. Also I dont see setting in 5.0.1 to set SoundAlive to Viper for sound control, any ideas?

You reckon you could get this to work on our device? I followed instruction and get force close. Its Dolby.

Hi just flashed the v9

But facing any issue

I am stuck at the setup screen

Which says " checking connection wait will take a minute " can't go ahead

Want to know is it trying to connect with Google ?

as I am in China and Google is blocked here , I need to use VPN to access Google and other blocked sites

For 4.4.4 there was Google account screen which can be skipped but it is not coming in here ?

So let know if issue is coz of something else ?

Processor Use

Hi

Sorry for my english.

I instaled this new version, thanks a lot for your work [MENTION=4503214]not-i[/MENTION]

My device is hot and using CPU Spy shows the mayority of use is 1300MHz

Is this normal or only i need to wait some time to see normal values ?

To your question how to change from SoundAlive to Viper, you have to go to Settings>Application manager>Soundalive, then turn it off, go back to your music, then you can choose Viper as your sound control. Dolby working just fine for me. I just flash it via recovery then turn off the SoundAlive.

How you installed your apps? Titanium backup or playstore?

Did you wiped your internal storage as well?

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] ericmky:
Yes, in my case full wipe, twice.

Configure my Note like new device, no apps or data restore.

How wipe the internal storage ??

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] Danmann:
I can't explain why but I remember that somebody told me it's a good way to do. I think there is sometimes a old defect data or something or maybe not compare to lollipop. Maybe old kitkat stuff. I really don't know.

It's my way to do a FullWipe [emoji14]

SM-N910U
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] EP2008:
I did a full wipe less the external SD card, cleared cache and dalvic. Most apps were installed through the playstore, but I did need data from a few,so used titanium for that.

Tried with the stock launcher and Novac Launcher because I see the process Com. Android.systemui.imagewallpaper listed, but I'm not doing anything special with the wallpaper (static image, not live.

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] tweeny80:
Same here, I suggest many users have same issue. It's a feature of Android 5 unfortunately - reduced battery life. Am hoping after a few charge cycles it calms down.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] EP2008:
I'm sure something is triggering the high cpu on this process. I just don't know what it is yet.

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] not-i:
It's the same with all new lollipop firmware across Note 4. Read any thread you'll see the same thing.

It does seem to get better with time guys so don't be too alarmed yet.

Those on N910C had same issue but now most are getting similar battery to kk.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] not-i:
No problem here. Did you let Snote install the old data as it does when you first set it up or did you manually copy the folder yourself?

I let it install it's own data and mine is just fine
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] bryanvo:
I did let it install the old data but still the same, crashed when i touch to change to all or other things, even when I used Smart Switch to transfer the data from my Note tablet. It will not crashed only when i let the SNote sync the data from the Samsung account, but there are something in the Samsung account i dont want to sync and dont know how to delete them.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] somemadcaaant:
Probably explains why the GS6 has fairly poor battery life on 5.0.2, 5.1.0 had battery improvements for the Nexus devices. This is definitely a more noticeably smooth rom from KK so there must be a trade off somewhere.

Boss have you upgraded to lollipop bootloader yet? Not sure if would make a difference. I wont be upgrading till TGY firmware is out.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] lhooipg:
Not-i...So you don't need to root your note 4 to install the cwm recovery?

keep in mind knox will trip to 0x1
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] Hendrickson:
Nice, looking forward to it. What about battery life? Any improvements, I'm getting rubbish battery life at the moment about down to 24% with 2 1/2 hours screen on time only. Location disabled, sync etc not sure what is going on! :confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] not-i:
You do realize I have had the device less than 24 hours so it's a bit hard to say. Going from what I have done so far I would say it's better than my note 3 snapdragon model.

I had more screen on time than that even with flashing 2 roms, 2 nandroid backups & 1 restore so I think it will be fine.

I also use the phone as it should be used. Full brightness. No power save. Everything syncing etc. I charge every night so if I make it 18-24 hrs with heavy use I'm happy
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] KindaJackedForANerd:
I be been using it since 8 am it's 530 pm still at 74% pretty heavy use full brightness battery is beast
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] Hendrickson:
Nope, sorry missed that point!. Okay well that's great, well my battery seems better with each recharge could be an issue with my android system eating up the battery or location settings.

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] mkim055:
oh, sorry to hear that =(

M N910U (2degree model) came with pre-battery update, from PB Tech. I think build version was ANIF?

I drained fully from 50% battery it came with, then completely drained battery again after the first charge.

SOT was lower when I was fully draining the battery for the first time, but I been getting 5.5~6hrs SOT since then, even after battery update.

I tried disabling services and some bloat apps, but tbh did not improve battery life.

Have you tried doing factory reset?

Just an interesting fact, although my note 4 is N910U model, inside the plastic back cover says N910F, lol.
