Ok, so after playing with CM12 builds for awhile, I decided to come back to Firekat. Just flashed the v8 build and ... ****, I got blown so far away ... I'm lost now!!! LOL

Actually, this build is so good, I renamed my phone to "The Fantastic 4" !!! YEA !!!!

Anyway, here is something to consider to maybe even further extend the battery life and the responsiveness of the phone:

(NOTE: this is only a experiment by me, use it at your own risk!!!)

1. Download and install "Disable Service" from the play store (free)

2. Disable these:

*** in Google Play Service:

- AdRequestBrokerService

- AdvertisingIdService

- AnalyticsIntentService

- AnalyticsService

- AutoBackupService

- AutoBackupSyncService

- AutoBackupWorkService

- BrokeredFitnessService

- ConfigFetchService

- FitnessSyncAdapterService

- KidsAccountSetupService

- KidsApiService

- LocationHistoryInjectorService

- LocationWearableListernerService

- UserPresenseService

- WearableControlService

- WearableService

- WearableSyncService

*** Obviously, the above are my choices and options, you must read carefully to see which services you use (for example, the wearable services) and not to disable them.

*** With the above Google Play Services disabled, I see a slight improvement in battery life (or maybe Placebo effect ???)

*** I've been having these disabled in every build, every ROM I have tried and have not run into a single problem with the play store. You can try, test and see if it works for you. :)

Experiencing a couple funky things.

Clean flash.

Waking the phone lags. Screen turns on dim and is unresponsive. A few sec later brightens up then let's you interact.

Lock screen displays life companion in giant letters. Can not remove. Also doesn't show clock or other lock screen widgets.

Don't have any options to edit the notification bar.

I tried reflashing with no success.

Something in my setup is causing my phone to bug out and get really hot coming out of deep sleep. Usually it runs at 30-32c but just now it got up to 40c before I rebooted it. The CPU didn't seem crazy but the GPU a bit high at 60-86%usage on the system monitor app. It won't cool down even after reboot.does anyone know an app that can find out why the heck my phone is getting so hot.

I was trying to see if I could service without wake lock detector but I downloaded it just to see if it would show !e the culprit and I think it has. For whatever reason indexservice (com.samsung.index) service went crazy and got stuck on wake lock for almost 9 minutes. I turned the phone completely off and let it sit for a few minutes and now it is back to normal. I'm going to give it a day and if it goes crazy again I'll Odin ank4 and reflash.

So to upgrade from v7 to v8 on the Canadian Note 4:

1) Advance wipe: Wipe dalvik cache, cache, system, system, data

2) Back out and swipe to "wipe" again

3. Flash v8

4. Wait and drink a V8?

No need to flash the base firmware again for upgrades?

Thanks and keep up the awesome work!

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cowboyaryk:
Just curious, is it difficult to make a ROM (from the ground up) to take advantage of our AMOLED screens? Basically a themed ROM to have alot of black backgrounds and white fonts. I know there are themes out there but it seems that themes are always buggy and never have that clean stock look.

I really wish we could get a completely HOLO Dark (or black) GPE ROM for our phone with none of the Samsung stuff in there. Is that even possible?

All due respect intended, this is an AMAZING ROM and I wouldn't change a thing about it... except the aforementioned haha
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
The thing is tho "take advantage of amoled" is pretty subjective as your looking at it as a battery issue...where I use the amoled for the effect it has on colors at brightness...can you use Wanam and black out basically everything? Yes and on v7 a few dudes got 9+ hours screen on doing so...but I personally prefer to push the amoled for the colorful effects and saturation as you can see from the roms and my themes I use lol

You don't need to make anything you can do it on v8 with wanam

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] srimay:
Thats true, and there is a set of blacked out apps like contacts, dialer and messaging. Available under themes category that you can pick and place in system app or priv app, depending on where they are. Only thing you can't change, to my knowledge, is the power menu background. It remains white.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cowboyaryk:
Where exactly do I find these apps? Where is the 'themes category'?

Didn't mean to sound subjective, I use a zerolemon case anyway so battery life is no concern.

I just think its more aesthetically appealing. Is there a thread or somewhere you could point me on how to do this with wanam?

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] donnyp1:
So, I have a question. I came from a nexus 5 and prefer the stock look. I know I can change to nova or Google now launcher, but are there any themes for this rom that will get me the pure android look? I'm using more and more Samsung features, so cm is not an option, not to mention this rom is too good.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] srimay:
With Wanam. Then when I'm bored I change it and don't have to reflash the ROM and mess around with reinstalling my special tweaks to system apps and such.

You have to Odin flash ank4 before coming from another especially from something like cyanogen...no Def no freezing...broke 26k quadrant lol running insane so that'd Def your setup...make sure your Odin is properly flashing

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mcdavid:
With what app are you trying to do this? On the XNote ROM, there is an app by that dev which lets you change the resolution of everything at once on the fly. AFAIK, the Xposed module "AppSettings" lets you do it on a per app basis. But, using that app, I notice that, on this ROM with stock kernel, it doesn't let you pick specific DPIs, only resolutions. So, two questions: 1) Is there an app like one on the Xnote ROM that would let you change DPI for everything at once? 2) do you have to have a custom kernel to adjust DPI?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gregk232:
I Just to be clear... This post is very rude and should have been worded differently. Taking a stab at a Dev's work and announcing your intent to jump ship to a different rom like you are some paying customer at a store is pretty dumb.

That being said... I feel the pain. It takes me around 1-2 hours every time I update the rom to install all my apps, freeze all the crap, etc. Also... You can't restore your apps with TB.

The effort is well worth it, but coming from a Nexus 5 running a cm based rom, the pain is there.

Really, really, REALLY... wish there was a way to update the rom in a dirty flash manner :mad:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
What you guys maybe didn't get from the examples and comparisons...it doesn't matter if it's cm aosp touchwiz sense lg ect...dirty flashing will NEVER EVER run as fast and efficient as clean flashing a rom...its not to say it doesn't work fine across the same base... I clearly dirty flashed and ran v7 for several days to do the comparisons of clean vs dirty in v7...over 1.5 hour screen on time and 2500 points in quadrant lost by dirty flashing on the identical setup....its not a rom dependant thing it's a standard and why I always say any good dev would say so and never RECOMMEND or push dirty update zips ect imo...laziness should be on the user side not the dev side imo...what you guys choose to do is different...it also stops many stupid user errors from compounding and asking me what they did wrong...lol

In many ways it makes sense to since these aren't typical "roms"...its not like there's gapps or patches and bugs that you HAVE TO OR NEED to update for the experience or simply for a stable rom...they're purely enhancements and refinements over the previous build...that's why I laughed so hard earlier at that random kids post...like his v7 setup all the sudden wasn't as fast and smooth simply cuz v8 came out?
