I assume Firekat V11 is better than the latest Lollipop update? I am still on V8, going to be upgrading to V11. V8 gets me 5+ SOT everyday no matter what.

I know it is a bad idea to restore any app data, but what would be the best/least damaging way to restore sms/texts? Is titanium okay?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I wouldn't reco titanium personally but there are apparently some sms backup apps on the play store that people have been successful with

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gregma:
I use Super Backup Pro for backing up SMS/MMS/Contact/Phone Logs and it works great!

Thanks!

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MrAwesome75:
Samsung backup will backup and restore texts and calls. It works for me every time.

I must confess, I also did use Titanium on my latest ROM install, and my phone seems fine so far.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
Same here. I used it to restore data for Asphalt 8, Smart Remote, and user dictionary with no issues so far.

You have a ton of wake locks it seems like and used almost 3 hours of Pandora streaming which if on lte def skews the results lol...just follow op2...let it settle and adjust from there....the average screen on is around 6.25 hours the extreme 9 10 11 hour setups aside....you're use and setup will vary from there...use wake lock detector it's far better than bbs imo

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
Same here.. Have used sms backup & restore for few years and have sworn by TB for as long as been rooting. One of my top apps of all time. I never use it for any kind of "system" app/data backup/restore but for everything else, it's amazing. Freezing, uninstalling, saving multiple versions of apps, batch restores, etc, etc.. Love it
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
Well, I have still been testing LP on my other Note (and 5.1 on my N6) and have been talking with others I know who have it and on several different varients as well.

Sure it seems to be a bit of a mix in regards to battery life but in *general* it seems to be better or at least pretty good.. And in cases I've seen that have had less than optimal life, it'd always been identifiable to bloat or certain apps or service (for the most part).

I have noticed that it appears that the Android OS and Android System seem to be a little more efficient and look to be a percentage point or a few lower in battery usage.

I think there does seem to be big swings from one phone/variants LP implementation to another. The W8 with its minimal bloat seems solid thus far but some US carriers, not so much..

Anyways, it's still very early and just a snippet that I've seen or personally have tested but I know it is still a mixed bag. A lot of work is needed to be done to LP still.

But I fully expect that Mega will do a bang up job on his LP release(s) in the future :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
It's funny I noticed that as well man...I realized re reading a comment last night that the 4 guy's who have mentioned enjoying or having any benefit stock to stock have all been on your guys w8 lollipop build...thats def something I'll keep in consideration...I'll prolly end up doing 2 builds in tandem to compare thats my normal go to in a situation like this...trying to patch over the other carriers stupidity lol

I find everything about the S-pen better in the N4 vs the N3. The fine tuned resolution and pressure sensitivity.. It's great

^

Yep, sensitivity improvements and tweakable.

Stylus on this Note rocks.. Oh and as for more use, I'm all in thus far on the Google Hand Writing Keyboard. Still loving it and using it all the time.. I do wish it had a quick way to swap immediately to reg kb for those situations I need it.. But otherwise it's top notch

In regards to "Even if you odin stock there is no hiding the knox counter..." a Linux coder has apparently found a way to "hide" the knox counter. Not sure if you found the thread (couple weeks old).. And it's not a true hack/fix as I doubt there will ever be one as once E-fuse blows, it's not reversible but anyways he found a way to edit the boot image and you're simply editing the counter and reflashing it to "give the appearance" that the rom is official and knox is 0x0.

If a tech rewipes/reflashes the stock firmware well then it goes back to 0x1 but by then it may not matter.. If they do their initial search and check it up front it all looks good.. This has confirmed to work but supposedly is not that easy to do and if mess up u brick.. And once again is not a "true" hack or fix but in essence you are "hiding" the tripped knox counter..

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
[MENTION=5451734]megalomanic14[/MENTION] you keep your minimum clock at 1.4GHz, don't you? I set mine to 1.45GHz and don't see much of a speed increase. There may be a slight increase in the responsiveness of the recent apps button and app launching speeds, but that could also be a placebo effect.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] K4get:
first time testing with t mobile cellspot router.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yup...1400 min 2700 max interactive gov...that's the point just to have the responsiveness that little bit sharper...but like i've said many times the 1400 is solely for drain...I notice no real speed boost over say 900 1000k ime but I use the extra drain to control my setup to charge every other night

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Damn that is super high lol [emoji106]

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] K4get:
hey brother

my coverage was so bad inside my house, I couldn't make or receive a call when inside. so today I went to t mobile to get a range extender. They talked me into taking there cellspot router. for free with a small deposit $25.00 no contract, no monthly payment. free.

what a difference. from 1 bar to 5 bar's.

ok off of my soap box.

have a great day
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
I see. Another thing I noticed is my CPU usage went down after bumping up the clock speed. With the screen on it usually idles around 6-9%, but at 1.45 GHz it usually idles around 2-3%. I'm gonna try out the bumped up clock speed tomorrow and see how bad the battery life is.

Random Android question for you guys: when it runs out of RAM, does it create virtual memory on the internal storage like a PC might do, or does it just kill applications to make more room? It's not like I'm running out of memory or anything. I'm just curious.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Kills background apps and other non used running apps...I highly doubt you'll ever be able to make it happen tbh

It def has some effect on the battery life....I just got annoyed putting it on the charger at 40% every other midnight or whatever so I cranked it up a little just literally arbitrarily to drain more off the top lol

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
That's fantastic that they not only offer something...but that it actually functions an works lol...that awesome dude I'm glad you're all set up and have a killer setup running on your note from the looks of it lol [emoji106]

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
That's what I thought. Android doesn't seem as "fancy" as Windows so I figured it'd take the easy way out. With 3 gigs of RAM I doubt I'll run out of memory. The highest I've ever seen it go is like 2 gigs.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea 3gb is a ton considering the tint amount of ram a given app uses and how efficient the ram management is...I usually have about half my ram open

Windows and android use ram slightly different where it's more beneficial to have slightly more filled in android it reduces launch times and cpu taxing where having as little used in Windows is optimal...it's why I never clear ram in android but do in Windows ..so yea they're def different systems from the hw itself to the os

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
Well obviously since one's for phones and the other is for PC's.

Ugh Tapatalk blows. GCM pushes will stop working then like 8 hours later they'll randomly start working again. I've tried everything but it still keeps doing it. Other apps that use GCM's work just fine, even when Greenified.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
ya it just automatically starts to kill lesser used apps. It's very efficient.

I still subscribe to "unused ram is wasted ram" (for the most part), on Android anyway.

The 3 gigs this has is very good. I always run a ton of stuff and (no joke), I've had 40+ tabs saved and opened in Chrome for months!

[MENTION=5451734]megalomanic14[/MENTION] do you mess with the GPU clock speed at all? I just set mine to 389MHz minimum and that seems to have increased the fluidity of the UI a bit. I like this 1.49GHz/389MHz combo. Hopefully it doesn't drain my battery too much because I want to leave it like this forever.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No...never saw a point to...every game I play runs as smooth and fast as the ui on fk for me so I've never bothered with the gpu...our gpu is already so overpowered...the only devices I adjust it are my n1 n2 and n8 because they're the old gen but never n3 or n4

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

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No not at all...like cranking the cpu up you'll get some ui and some little rendering in 2d and 3d benefits...the context is all im saying....i never found it necessary to push the gpu vs the cpu to get the effect I wanted vs the excess drain...it's a scale and balancing power and efficiency is the idea...on n3 and n4 with fk it ran so fast I never needed to push it like on n1 and n2

It's like having a second stage mini turbo...on a 4 cylinder makes sense....on a 600 hp v12 any mini turbo outside of clutch lag offset won't make any real difference ...so It'll be how much drain vs what little benefit you get

Mega

confused....

im somewhat tech savy, and have flashed roms on different devices. But i have read through the initial post many times and am a little confused on what to do.. if someone could spare 30 secs out of their day to explain how to do what im trying to acheive.

i have Note 4 Tmobile, stock. Is rooted with Chainfire and has TeamWin recovery flashed.

I want to clean flash the newest FireKat Rom. but it seems like i need to flash something else first, the OP is just a bit confusing on what i need.

So if somebody can just tell me what to flash first...then what to flash next.

Its cool im retarted...lol. I just dont want to do the wrong thing.

Thanks guys, and big shouts to the whole XDA community for being so helpful.

Anyone know how I can get the Note 3 style keyboard (see image) working on Firekat? I miss being able to do punctuation over and common symbols by doing a long press vs. having to switch to the symbols keyboard. For example ',' by long pressing 'n'.

Either the app you're using isn't working properly...or you have the only electronic device in history not bound by the laws of physics hahah

Just thinking about it logically...going from 300mhz to 1.4ghz is over a 4x increase in idle clock speed scaling between there and max on interactive....you should obviosuly see a variance if the mods actually functioning
