I'm starting to really get fed up with you guys talking about weather, snowboarding, school and everything else not related to this ROM. Can we please discuss the problems that we're having? Wait...there are none. This is the first ROM that I've been on where I have had ZERO issues from first flash to now. Hats off to Mega for putting out such solid work and for maintaining such great, positive communication. :highfive: That being said, I've made my donation to the raffle as well. :good::good:

My noob question of the day is regarding tethering. I never had a need to use it since I was on a 2.5GB data plan but just got unlimited data through the Refer-a-Friend program. Figured I would give it a shot. I know there has been some posts about adding a dash to the T-Mobile Tethering APN and removing DUN from the APN type. Doesn't that essentially make it the same as the LTE APN? Is this step even necessary then?

Am I supposed to switch to this APN before enabling Mobile Hotspot?

Is WiFi Tether Router required or can just the native Mobile Hotspot app be used?

How can I tell whether this is actually work? I can't seem to find the data usage meters in my T-Mobile account.

Mega,

as far as greenify goes this was my first time using it but Iunlock helped me and I think I've done everything correctly. After I flashed v4 I went in to Google Play and bulk redownloaded my apps and then once all my apps were downloaded I went into greenify and long pressed all of them except for the ones you advised not to greenify. Once I long pressed all of the non system not messaging apps I simply hit the check box at the top of greenify. From what I understand that's all I needed to do to quote unquote greenify the apps is that right? it just a one time thing right? And I remember you saying not to use the xposed module for greenify so I did not use that. Let me know if I did anything wrong with this anything I need to change their. Thank you.

Ilk

ok bro first of all thank you big time for the help. Unfortunately when I posted that I was under 5% so I had to pop in a new battery and now that I have a 100% full fresh battery I cannot access those old wakelock statistics to repost them for you. Is there a way to go and get that info and repost it now that I check the box for advanced mode? If not I'll kill this battery within the next 8 to 10 hours and I can repost everything at that time if that works for you. And just to make sure I did everything right all I have to do to get you the info you're wanting to see is going to settings and click the checkbox for advanced mode to show what processes are used by the OS is that right?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Mr.H0811:
Mega this ROM is just incredible. Thank you for your time, effort, assistance and most of all your attitude towards developing for us and quickly answering our questions! I have a question for everyone. Inside my phones stock battery stats, wi-fi shows that it is constantly running even when I have wi-fi turned off. I am referring to the graph in battery stats that shows the colored lines for usage. I know under advanced settings there is a setting that keeps wi-fi off even during sleep and always allow scanning. Is there any benefit to turning these off so wi-fi does not stay on or is the battery drain minimal enough that it does not matter? Thanks in advance and Mega thank you again for the amazing work!

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MachinePower:
hey bro good one. I was about to kindly go off on you until I saw you were joking. On tethering someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I think I can answer your questions. First of all the way mega set this up we don't even have to do anything to get tether mod working so it looks like mobile data. literally flash the ROM open up your settings go to hotspot turn it on set your name and password and you're rolling. I made the habit out of spoofing my browser with google bot back on the note 2 I just continue to do that I don't know if that's necessary or not but that used to make it so T Mobile could not tell as easily if it was going through my phone or to my computer however I don't even think you even need to do that.

now this isn't going to give you unlimited non throttle data or anything but if you have that it will allow you to use it from any other device through tethering without it showing as tether data it will just go under your mobile data. I've already used it over a hundred gigabytes just since v4 was released with no problems whatsoever. Now if you get throttled after a certain amount of usage that will still happen if you don't have unlimited data it's not going to make it unlimited etc but as long as you understand that stuff its pretty much ready to go out of the box. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.

Yeh pretty much when u enable that option a few other wakelocks will show up then screen shot all the wake locks n then click on the top wakelocks so it gives a better break down wat exactly in the app is causing it

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PlatinumNick:
go to your wifi settings then advance and click off "always allow scanning" that should do the trick

the only benefit and better battery and the need for this setting is not needed
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RaymondPJR:
I think some of the Google apps can use Wi-Fi even when it's off! I noticed it the last time I set up and it's been mentioned by mega or somebody else. You might find those settings using Google settings in your app drawer. Sorry for not being more certain, but I have zilch in terms off memory retention, lol!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Mr.H0811:
Hey Platinumnick... Thanks for the reply. I have unchecked it to see if there is any significant difference. Was just curious if anyone had done this or had any experience with this!

RaymondPJR... Thank you for the reply. I have turned off "Always Allow Scanning" and "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep". Not sure what the impact is really I was just wondering if there is any benefit to doing so! As far as memory retention I feel ya! Sometimes hard to remember what I had for breakfast lol...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ojai00:
Thanks. I just turned on Mobile Hotspot without touching anything else and it worked. Was just wondering if I missed something or if I wasn't doing it correctly.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] n3gkiwi:
So it's odd. I went to re-flash from stock and back to the same problem. Using stock-ish twistedumbrella. Don't know why, but I decided to reinstall stock rom and do it all over just to make sure I had a clean install, but same problem again with the kernel not taking in TWRP. When I try to install "Stockish-11-11-2014_18.58.trite[Auto].zip" using TWRP it now fails again.

Odd is that it worked before. Is there a better way to manually install the correct kernel from twistedumbrella? I just use the instructions below and use StarKissed-MM-DD-YYYY_hh.mm-trlte[Auto].zip.

http://xdaforums.com/note-4/unified-development/kernel-dealers-choice-t2915824

I have a nandroid back-up of my clean stock rom which I revert back to. It seems odd though. Should I be able to install twistedumbrella's kernel on stock? Perhaps to test if that is the problem.

The only difference I can see is I used TWRP 2.8.1.1 instead of twrp-2.8.1.0 but from another post that shouldn't make a difference.

Don't know why, but it drives me nuts when I cannot find the root of the problem.

So glad to hear that tethering is working great for you! That's awesome. Isn't it so nice to have the APN's already modified for you haha....
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PlatinumNick:
you might want to turn back on keep wifi on during sleep because when your wifi is on once the screen turns off it disconnects from the wifi and this feature is not the reason for the wakelock.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
You can contact me anytime bro! Thanks for being considerate though haha.... message me so I can walk you through my tweaks for crazy battery life.....mostly op2 stuff, but knowing what set up you have I may be able to squeeze some more juice out to go beyond 12 hours....tethering does take a toll though.

I'm having problem with xposed. Take a look at the 2 screenshots but basically it tells me framework not up to date, I go in and hit install update and it reboots and then I get the error in 2nd screen. Anyone know how to fix this?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] XBOHDPuKC:
does anyone else experience an excruciatingly slow charging through USB? It literally adds 1-2% per hour. There's nothing that drains the battery at the same time, i.e. if I disconnect the phone from the charger it sheds probably 1-3% per hour.

I know that it's usually a setting in a kernel that would enable fast charging, any idea if there's a kernel out there that supports it just yet?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Hey bro that's just saying there an update to xposed installer. ..go into downloads and download newest exposed apk..install..install the system framework again and it's updated. ..

Guys I know a tin of posts are up since earlier...heading home from class will catch up in a little bit...

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MachinePower:
Yes. If possible only use stock wall charger and cable bro. Usb is much much slower for sure. It basically just keeps my phone from going down. I gain maybe 5% hr if I'm actively streaming and tethering.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Are you on fk? I'm guessing you may have flashed a kernel because even with fast charging off...on v4 my note charges 5% to 100% in like 70 minutes...only like 20 minutes between fast charging and normal on v4...should charge fast on stock kernel with my rom because so much of the system has been optimized ...give a little more info to your Setup. ...what note is it tmo or Canadian? What kernel did you flash ? Ect. Also what base rom were you on when flashing?

Unless you mean USB over a computer then yea undoubtedly as it cannot push the power needed to charge the note at normal speed

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MachinePower:
So I'm new to exposed but here's what's I'm doing. I open xposed installer and I see the error that the latest version of xposed is not active and that I need to install the newest framework and reboot. So first thing I checked my version of xposed installer by going to downloads clicking the top one xposed installer downloading version 2.6. 1 and then hitting install. It asks me if I want to install the newer version I say yes and it looks like it installs. Then I go into framework and hit the install / update button which causes my phone to reboot. Once it's rebooted I go back in to xposed installer and I still get the same framework error message so I hit manual reboot go back into xposed installer and still get the same framework error message. Am I doing something wrong?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] XBOHDPuKC:
definitely didn't mess with the kernel. To make the things worse, Galaxy charging app that shows current amperage is not compatible with Note 4, so I can't see what kinda power it draws from the USB - I assume it's ~450mA, which is only enough to keep up with teh current demand. My note 3 kernels with enabled fast charging were able to pull down ~900-1000mA, which made charging so much more fun :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ojai00:
That message is different from what I've seen previously when Xposed fails to install but have you tried Fix Permissions through TWRP? If not, try that first and then see if you can update/install Xposed.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea but remember there's a new architecture in the n4 s805 vs the n3 800...so with the snapdragon 805 having fast charge capabilities I'm also guessing it has a current limiting gate which is why you're seeing this...just my best guess but i also see that n4 draw enough extra power to be a wash on usb with my pc whereas my note 3 would attempt to charge. ..i never use pc to charge as its always slower than wall charger but noticed when pushing data over usb...I'd just avoid charging on your computer tbh

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No but like ojai says that a bit different than I've come across and never seen it fail to update. ..so give his method a shot. .fix permission in twrp then reboot and try again

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea i believe someone else mentioned this...i suggest keeping wifi always on becuase as you've seen any apps that have wifi access permissions will attempt to ping wifi on or not...so it generally tends to save battery on my roms to leave it set to always on even when sleeping...give that a couple charge cycles and see if that doesn't help your batter as well as clear up the confusion of what's going on between your setting and stats

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BlueGoldAce:
Any idea what is causing the Android system wake lock seen below? I can't get any info on this and how to fix it. It just popped up today. Tried restarting the phone a few times.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
That's normal...that's literally your android system lol and 219 is super low...it's all good...worry about contolling your user apps not the system and you'll be fine...let the rom do what it needs to and just greenify your apps the rom will do the test

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BlueGoldAce:
Thanks! Just never seen it before, was wondering if it might be a bud.

Thanks again.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No problem...i usually don't even use the advanced part of WLD myself becuase the numbers and stuff look so crazy like 1000x android system...but there's like 100 functions included within that 1 header...in app manager click on android system and you can see the list of all that it does...but nah yours is actually pretty low...if you turn off advanced mode you'll just see your user apps which is what I normally do...but after my first or second charge on a clean flash i quit using stats and only go by real world battery use becuase without context the stats can be deceptive

Still unable to install xposed framework successfully. I was able to successfully fix the permissions in TW RP. It changed what I'm experiencing a little bit. This time when I went back into exposed to install the framework, i hit the install / update button and it took a few extra seconds before it rebooted compared to last time and right before it rebooted there was a popup that said it was given root permission which i didn't see prior to permission fix. however once it rebooted I'm still seeing the same errors. Should i change framework installation mode from classical and try to install framework through twrp? If so how do i do that?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tmaurice:
Same here - have re-installed clean 3 times and always instagram get FC
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
So you're on 2.6 correct? And you simply installed the apk....granted root rights....Checked whatever modules then pushed install on xposed installer framework screen and ok then let it reboot? And you're having this error? I'm a little baffled hmm and you're on v4 clean flash? Fixed permissions

Ok let's try this....uninstall xposed from app manager in settings ..then download root browser or root explorer pro...open the explorer and go to

data

App lib

Scroll thru this list and make sure there's no xposed module installer lib files left...

Go back a page to main /data page

Now got to app

So this folder should day data/app when you enter it

Scroll thru apks and make sure there is no xposed installer module apk leftover

If there is an xposed module installer file/apk in either folder delete them

Reboot

Install this apk...i use it every single flash and I've never run into any issues or had to fix permissions

Oddly enough I was able to finally able to get the twistedumbrella kernel to work by using TWRP 2.8.1.0 instead of TWRP 2.8.1.1... Finally! If any other Canadians have this problem, perhaps try that.

Hey Mega, do you recommend doing a nadroid back-up or a clean install if people every decide to do sort of do a reinstall. I tend to load up my phone with junk for the first few weeks until I figure out what I like.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
OK great man...super odd lol but great you got it worked out. ..

What i persoanlly recommend (and do myself) is that you clean flash an get your kit setup with your apps mods theme ect...then make a backup...then as you start adding or taking away, modding this, flashing that ext over the next week or so...if you run into a jam you restore the backup and you're right back on a pre set up clean flash...just make sure yours setup is stable and no mods interfering ect before making the backup

Heard of that lake, never been there.

Look up ice road truckers, or ice highway,, on YouTube, it's crazy. Fully loaded oil rig trucks drive right across frozen lakes, no issues. Come spring it gets a little dangerous.

Snowfall, well in early October this year we had a massive storm that dropped 6 to 12 inches over a day and a half maybe two days, and since the trees still had leaves, we had thousands of downed branches and trees I've got pics somewhere. Some branches i drove over on my way to work were six inches thick easily.

By the end of the year last year, we had so much snow on the front yard that my five year old daughter made a little pathway for herself, when she walked through it, it was up to her neck. I'd say over two feet, maybe 2.5 feet, had piled up. Not unusual to see a snowfall of six to eight inches overnight, though that would be on the heavier side, but we've seen over a foot in one day before too.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] n3gkiwi:
I know, and it was like one version of TWRP... Weird eh?

And just so I got it clear, a clean flash is when you go in recovery wipe data, cache, dalvik, system so you do a clean install. This can still be done say from V3 to V4 (or eventually V5)? No need to go back to stock. Just do not do the dreaded thing of doing a dirty install over older data/rom.

I am glad I read about not using titanium backup to restore apps. Use to do that all the time. Is there a way to get google play to redownlaod your apps? The only option I see is sync app data under google accounts. Not sure if that is the same.

Letting my device veg out in its new state after the flash for a little bit as per instructions........ Hence why I am posting on here. Can't wait.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MachinePower:
Ok in order to make sure I did this correctly. I was just looking for the xposed installer files to delete right? Not things like wanam or youtube ad away files?

As long as that's correct I did as you instructed to make sure none of those were left in either place after I uninstall the app. I then rebooted the phone and then installed the apk from the link you posted.

Now that that's done is this correct:

Open xposed installer,

click modules

check the ones that I'm going to use

then go into framework and hit install update

Then reboot the phone is that right?

After those steps in that order i should be good? ?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
Google Play always re-downloads and re-installs all your missing or updated

apps by default.

Under Google Play's settings you can disable auto-download/install of apps if

you like.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Correct...and yea exactly right...select the mods you want active...go to framework install and it'll prompt reboot, hit ok and it should be all good

I like all the ROMs here in the note 4 section but FireKat seems to be the best for my daily use . Excellent starting point for me modify it for my own liking . Is it just me or does the screen look better while running this rom . I just seems much more crisp . I noticed this right after booting. Anyway thanks for this V4 is the $hit
