Now there's a blast from the past...I was probably on Sony Ericsson (R520 or T68) when the i700 came out and happy as a clam surfing WAP sites on T-mo. For WM, I dabbled with the Eten M500, K-Jam, T-mo MDA, and finally Touch Pro 2 before jumping ship to Android (Essentially when all support for WM dropped).

V7 has been running really great for me. I've downloaded some other roms a few days ago, but after all I put into this to get my setup, I can't bring myself to flash anything. I have very few apps installed and Uninstalled all I don't use. Phone is how it should have shipped, bloat free.

When you guys disable apps, exactly how do you do it? Do you use titanium backup and freeze them, delete them, uninstall them, convert them to system apps and delete? Sorry to be a little thick but can you spell out the best way to do it (I know what to do from OP2 - just not clear on the how)? I have google plus frozen by titanium backup but I get system pop-ups every now and then saying "google + is broken" and it's kind of annoying.

Second Mega, can you please outline what you have done to the camera app because I've been so happy with V7 I'd rather not upgrade unless there's something really big to be worth it? (kind of a backhanded compliment but you know what I mean lol)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] masri1987:
so i have already done everything in OP2... , i forgot to mention i'm not running stock kernel...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sefrcoko:
Just freeze with Titanium Backup. If you freeze something you later need one day you can just defrost it. If you delete though make sure you also make a backup with Titanium first, just in case you need to restore in the future. If you dont want to freeze it then use Greenify...this "tames" the app while retaining functionality when you use an app.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cbmggm:
Sorry dude, had to brag a little ??
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I don't "freeze" anything on n4 with tb....i simply turn off the apps listed in op2 via app manager...either way I def recommend freeze over uninstall as it saves alot of hassle and issues

V7 is already so close to a perfect balance of performance and efficiency it was really hard to improve it at all...so don't expect more huge v7 size jumps becuase v7 is already so refined and has thr n4 so close to its pinnacle were already outperforming newer devices just launching at ces 2015 on newer hw and firmware bases as is on v7...everything else will be small refinements here and there improving as much as possible...v8 is running fantastic and has some decent updates to the overall feel but it's never gonna be like coming from stock again now that your using this as your baseline standard lmao...our context of n4 is so skewed vs stock users lmao

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Guys once again for like the 10th time...if you flash a kernel don't then turn around an wonder or complain why your benchmarks are terrible or battery life sucks??...unless you're using a vr there is no benefit go back to stock kernel or deal with the downsides of whatever kernel you're using....that's out of my control as to what negative impact they'll have on your setup....the best battery life and benchmarks have been on stock kernel...

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Sevael:
I'm getting well over 8 hours of SoT here as well. Here's my typical usage:

I'm running a Canadian Note 4 (N910W8) with the stock kernel.

Auto-brightness always on, and I'm mostly indoors with medium or bright lighting.

Wifi on 100% of the time. Overall drain is only 2-3% per day, so I never turn it off.

Bluetooth on 100% of the time. Uses even less battery than wifi when idle. I stream music from Google Play Music via Bluetooth in my car for roughly 30 minutes a day.

Most of my phone usage is internet browsing, Facebook, and a few other miscellaneous apps and videos. No games.

I have one Gmail account set to sync everything and one syncing email only. I only send/receive about 30 texts per day.

Xposed is installed along with Wanam and a few others.

No battery monitors or wakelock killers installed.

No Greenify!

Google Now is turned off and location history is disabled.

Google+ not installed.

If I keep my SoT under an hour, I can get 2.5-3 days on a single charge. If I use the phone a lot, I get 8-8.5 hours of SoT plus a good 12-16 hours of standby. I imagine I could get more, but I never fully drain the phone. It's difficult to do on this ROM. :D

Yeah, I made sure I odin base to NJ7 (i was NIH (or w/e it was before). I know it went through since I check about device. and it says Baseband version indeed, NJ7.

Wipe/Data. Installed Rom, wipe cache/dalvik. installed kernel.

re: Antutu speed test scores

Did you do the Antutu speed test right after flashing the rom or did you install

apps and other things like xpose framework, wanam and other modules before

using the antutu speed test?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lmao no worries I just had to make sure you weren't checking out the n4 forum lol I get that quite a bit lol...so i was like wait maybe he did s5 theme xposed mod and then this i better make sure this could get ugly lol...no worries buddy [emoji106]

never installed xpose or waman. I did antutu speed test, 1 hour after install and 5 hour after install. not any noticeable difference in bmark score.

edit: And now i'm confused with mega, "Not internal storage...dalvik, cache, data, system, not internal or external storage" my logic says, dalvid,cache,system,data should be wiped. but this sentence is making me bleed T_T

What is it with custom kernels if not using vr? Mega you should just upload a stock kernel and rename it custom superduper firekat custom kernel, custom 50hrs custom battery custom life, turns snapdragon N4 to a custom octacore....

Thanks for proving once again....STOCK KERNEL! :highfive:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sky high:
Yep I'll also attest to the power of the stock kernel. I usually only flash a custom kernel the day before mega releases new version just to have some fun tweaking since I'll be wiping the phone anyway. Every single time I have done it I get random reboots, lower benchmarks and sluggish performance. My latest try with a custom kernel my recents opened slightly faster but I have had 5 random reboots, worse battery, stuttering, and I haven't even had the kernel 24 hours yet. On stock I have never had a random reboot.

Firekat with stock kernal is like cars.com if you want drama go get another rom.
