So I'm zipping together the first build now...i was awaiting confirmation of everything with the downgrade... as I didn't wanna stir the pot...

TmoPopV1 is zipping together now...i will be testing it tonight...depending how this test goes I will then be uploading it to a new thread followed by the finalized canadian build...depending on this test build if i feel it needs work or further optimizations I'll delay until need be...so far the build is...

Rooted

Deodexed

Busybox

Zip aligned

Knox Free...all knox apps removed with all knox shut off in the entire system for v2 not v1...

Heavily optimized...with a majority of v11x refinements including the rebuilt camera, tw launcher, and ui...rendering enhancements and performance enhancement optimizations with specific lollipop refinements...based on the positive feedback from the Canadian test builds I further refined these...I'm def looking forward to seeing how the build turns out....just wanted to let you tmo users know what's up especially after waiting months to get your update lol...will keep you guys posted how the build is proceeding I'm just about to odin flash lp and flash the build now...

Been waiting for this moment...

Mega love for everyone

[MENTION=226347]mega[/MENTION] : Will u be releasing the 5x5 Tw as part of v1 or will that be separate
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No...nothing like that for v1...like always the main point of v1...stability...i did all the usual optimizations but as my rule is for v1...no mods...no grid mods...no tethering...no built in apn ect...i can always add later but v1 stability/performance are key

That stuff will all follow later on

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:

Great news, but in still gonna hold off in the hope xposed gets sorted! There will be plenty others to test and report who know more than I do.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No testing or anything needed man...I'm gonna obviously test it...but the launch will be polished builds like fk....no i cant say I'll stay i am making my v11x backup right now before odin flashing lollipop...but I want to ensure the best builds possible for those who do wanna run lp and don't mind missing the mods and toys

Yea, what Mega said regarding Safestrap. It was a savior for those of us with locked bootloader devices. Sorry for the confusion.

On a potential very positive note regarding past discussion if anyone took the upgrade via auto or kies... I just seen another user confirm (I believe in the Raptor thread here in dev) that he was successful in Odin back to kitkat including it's bootloader using FULL kk tar. I encourage anyone to read up more before attempting this just to be safe. :thumbup::thumbup:

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
Whoops. I thought you were looking for a base to build off of, so I linked you to stock, deodexed, rooted, init.d support, Busybox, Knox free base ROM that the OP claims he made for devs to build off of.

Warning to everyone: T-Mobile Lollipop sucks. I tried it for about a day and gave up on it. The material design and animations are cool, but I couldn't stand the way Google keyboard does auto correction on 5.0+ and Odined back as NK4 as I got home from school. Without Xposed I had to manually go into data/data/com.android.mms or something like that and dig through/edit an XML file just to prevent the screen from turning on when I get a text. The worst part was I had to redo it every time I rebooted!

Urrrrggggggg Titanium Backup is shafting me again! It worked just fine 15 minutes ago and now it can't verify my key again [emoji35] [emoji35] [emoji35] [emoji35] [emoji35] [emoji35] [emoji35] [emoji35]

So I'm now running stock lollipop from other after resetting my device. After settling I'm getting 51k in antutu. I am really loving this! It's stupid fast and very, very stable.

Mega, I can't wait to see what you do with this. V11 was awesome, but stock 5 for me is blowing it out of the water. So bring on FirePop! :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I'm running v1 right now lol...let's just say I'm happy with it [emoji41]lol

I literally ran the stock build like 2 mins before flashing twrp and v1...but it seemed smoother than my buddies s5 build

Dammit fellas I can't lie and say this build isn't ridiculously fast....with the fastest keyboard response I've ever had on one of my phones...whyyyyyy xposed why...[emoji85]

Continued testing the build...as well as finishing up the Canadian proper v1 and will more than likely be posting the builds earlier than Friday...ive really been enjoying this rom...far more than I thought I would...more than I even wanted to haha

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
That's how I felt. Lollipop was so damn smooth and fast (especially for being 100% stock with no mods), but after weighing the pros and cons I went back to KitKat. I loved most of the UI and how the recent apps button was pretty much instant.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
stock was okay... But as soon as I flash this first build.... I don't know man its going to be hard to go back...

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Larkstarr:
Well we can have another drink, cause I believe I figured out the issue. I realized I had a nandroid backup from when the phone was four days old, updated to AOA1 ota. I thought to myself.. why not. So I backed up the current build I have of FireKat and restored the old stock default Telus build, rooted it and installed BBS (Sorry mega.. old habits die hard.) - connected to LTE and let her sit for a moment. No phone alarms triggered. Not even one. So I'm sitting there thinking to myself what the hell is the difference between this ota updated install from Telus, and a clean one from sammobile? Long story short I eventually found myself in the APNs menu on the telus ota install. There was the expected 2 default APNs from Telus. But I recalled browsing the APNs from FireKat that there were at least six or seven APNs listed... a few minutes later and a 'clean' install of AOA1 odined fresh from sammobile (not even rooted!) back to the APN settings I go, and I saw multiple APNs, a few from Koodo (Telus subsidiary) and a few I didn't recognize, along with the two default Telus APNs. I used BBS again to comfirm the same issue arose. It did. Following logic, I erased all but the two default Telus APNs, rooted the phone, installed BBS ... no alarms on LTE. Woo! I restored FireKat and did the same thing, and so far, so good. Still going to watch it over the next few days just to confirm, but it seems like that was the issue in the end.

So basically, the clean Telus AOA1 odin from sammobile and subsequently the base that Mega used by sefrcoko, which is also from sammobile, seems to include some unnecessary APN settings that cause the (com.android.)phone alarm to fire frequently when connected to LTE. Actually I'm assuming that the APN settings (MMC and MNC) included in android itself is actually the core issue here because as far as I'm aware, APN settings are determined from the MMC and MNC from one's SIM card, then the associated APNs are activated in Android. Though I wish, since I have to specify my exact carrier when I download from sammobile, that the APN database could be modified by Samsung accordingly to just include Telus APNs. Though hell, for all I know it could be pulling the settings straight from the SIM card itself.

I suppose that's why the issue wasn't very commonly noted around these parts. Carrier specific. Maybe even SIM card specific? Is there anyone else from Telus or Koodo using FireKat? But I knew something just wasn't quite right with that damn alarm firing off.

:good::highfive::good:

So, why is it that Samsung couldn't make the Recents instant? Even in Lollipop it lags, not as much, but it's there. Sure if you "play around" with it, it becomes instant, but again after you leave it alone for a bit...it can't be that it is waiting for the long press command, cause the Home button doesn't react that way. :confused:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SPreston2001:
Its normal to them! Its the patented Samsung Lag!! Get a HTC phone and see how a properly optimized Android skin works lol.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MC FLMJ1G:
I think it is not so bad as it is on the s6. Not that I recall. Been some time since I played with it. That is annoying.

I am pretty much running stock but am looking to install your rom so I am not sure if you debloated it outside knox. I know from previous builds you do not debloat much. I end up freezing a lot of programs.

Mega, is there any way to reduce a lot of the "Google" bloat as well? Hangouts, books, player, google app itself, etc,? The person can always install if they want it and it is usually newer via the play store. ANT and some preinstalled apps like trip adviser and old version of downloadable apps that I think no one uses. Just a suggestion. I saw other roms had viper be installed as a system app instead of the regular.

THanks.

Not used to the traffic in this thread vs the Megakat lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
Yea man in OP2 Mega recommends to turn off the google apps that you don't use so that's a way to "remove" so bloat. When you decide to flash v11X (and believe me you will flash it because it's just that good!:beer:) have a run through OP2, lots of great optimization tweaks in there mate :)

I usually uninstall via TB. However, I know that they are built in deep into the system so I stopped doing that on the Note 4. It has been running smoothly since t hem. I know many roms usually do not include them or make them removable. Was hoping we could free up some room, I know it is minimal but I am a "pincher", and install instead up updating the apps.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
Hey mega.. Which method do got suggest to getting on the latest build, bootloader & baseband for us novices?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
I bet you'll be back. No Xposed and the crappy auto correction with Google keyboard are what ruined it for me

The home button lags if you set it to launch S Voice with a double tap. When you turn that off it's instant because there's no second action tied to the button so it's not waiting to see if you're going to press it again. I bet if you untied the menu from the recent apps button it would be instant because it wouldn't be waiting to see if you're just going one tap or holding it down.

Use Odin. The OD6 Odin files, TWRP 2.8.6, and CF Auto Root can all be found in the general section. Here's a link:

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SiNJiN76:
Once you unhook SVoice. It's tied onto GNOW.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
Not on my phone. I have the Google app frozen and that kills Google Now so there's nothing else for it to tie itself to.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SiNJiN76:
:good: That's why I'm puzzled. No lag being tied to GNOW. Even if I were to "disable" long press recents with Xposed...it still has problems. :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
I dunno what to tell you. That ½ second delay isn't a big deal for me. If it took 3+ seconds then I might be annoyed but I don't care about ½ of a second.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SiNJiN76:
All good. Just a little ranting from me. Wish my recents only lagged 1/2 sec for me all the time!:highfive:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
So here's a little head's up fellas....a little taste of things to come...[emoji106]...

Great news...I've been running this lollipop v1 build since last night...not a single issue or force close thru installing over 160 apps....combined with this speed...and I have to say I'm starting to really enjoy the rom and should be a pretty smooth upgrade from v11 for anyone interested....I remodded the grid ui settings and some stuff on my build after the fact...but haven't even bothered with setcpu or mcc my note is already running so well...working on the Canadian v1 now to polish their build...depending on how the rest of this afternoon testing goes....we should go live soon...possibly tonight....enjoy

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I personally reco and use the Odin method...especially as it will work forward and back to ank4...I'd totally use Odin myself just like usual...then flashing the lp build is just like normal..no weird work around needed...

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
When there's 1 or 2 apps in the recents menu it's not too bad, but when there's like 20+ it takes a while. I think keeping my minimum CPU speed at 1.3GHz helps a lot.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Here's the true test as we know...fk camera vs lollipop v1 camera...head to head...

Lollipop tmo v1

Fk v11x
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
They look identical I think :p

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] paul89:
Richer color tones and not as washed out on the lollipop one.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I'm writing up the op for lpv1 now...I already uploaded v1 and am uploading Canadian v1 now...given the performance and stability I'm gonna go ahead and post v1...

I will say the battery life is not as good as fk because the base itself is not as efficient...it'd a trade off for the power....but i will work on increasing that as much as possible over the next couple days with v2...as the pm is somewhat different and the heat stock lollipop runs at is rather high as they tried pushing the hw...thankfully the build runs way cooler than my stock setup did...it's def powerful and snappy finding the perfect balance will be the trick for 5.x. builds

Mega

BTW when I say power I mean look at the cpu score hahaha.....run last night while installing everything...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Larkstarr:
I agree with Paul89, the colours are definitely a lot nicer on lollipop.

Honestly I'm just waiting for a final word on xposed. I very much enjoy shrinking my UI and applying Wanam goodness to just make it that much more customizable.. but if in the end it's not going to be possible, I'm going to have to bite the bullet I guess!

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Cant say tbh... the dev has said he has no intentions of it ever working..."But doesnt exclude the possibility" .. Which as you can see from the feedback and benchmarks its becoming harder to choose between customization or power

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Thee_illuminati:
Oh wow. Well know this is a hard one...I was wondering what all the comotion was about.

I hope he really changes his mind.

About the power, I mean can you feel a huge improvement?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Not over fk really....it's a little snappier basically like setting animations at 0x vs

.5x....I mean v11 was already scoring 50k...so sure 52k/53k is super high for note 4 but vs fk it's almost a wash....that's why it's so hard...there are some perks to poprocks and it's def snappy but no kit for it...so yea it's a really tough spot...

Best news is we can go back and forth...that's all that matters and why it's not a huge deal imo....so I'll run poprocks a few weeks and then flip or something but yea I hope xposed and Wanam both get sorted lol

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Thee_illuminati:
Mine usually scores about 58k but who's counting anyway...lol

Funny I always laugh when I hear Poprocks. Great name ?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
I'm totally content with FireKat v11x but i won't lie hanging out on the PopRocks thread I have to resist the itch! :p if PopRocks eventually can achieve the bare minimum FireKat regarding efficiency and power (minimum 5 hr SOT/30-35 hr usage at max brightness/all settings enabled) then choose it ad my main ROM over FireKat :) Mega 3 questions:

-do you make a nandroid back up with TWRP of your favourite set up and use it when your coming off of another one of your roms or screw that and just odin stock annd clean flash each time?

-is your LG Optimus Lockscreen replacement in OP2 (is your seem to miss it when I'm reading through :s)?

-i take it that Nova is a launcher and I need to install it from play store then I can customize my icons? Is that the only benefit of nova or is it much faster than touchwiz?

I apologize for the somewhat nooby questions :)

Yea I'm hoping to try an match it or at least come close if possible given the boost of power...yea they're pretty even with plus and minus for either build

Yea nova is a launcher and you can use custom icon packs

Yea I made a backup of my v11x that I may restore if I go back...but more than likely I'll do a fresh flash and clean install when I go back

As for lg Optimus LockScreen lol enjoy

Sitting on the fence for now. Need to get used to the idea of not having xposed before I cross over.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
Kinda. The recent apps key isn't instant like PopRocks. It's close, but not instant.

So far I have no regrets. I'm replacing all the stock apps with material design apps to give the illusion that I'm still on Lollipop but still have the ability to use Xposed.
