I used to wipe internal every time I flashed, for the same reasons you mentioned. Then, I kept reading that your should not wipe internal. I stopped wiping internal and have not regretted it once. Wiping internal meant backing up things that aren't necessary to back up if you don't wipe. I know of no benefit to wiping internal (except a false sense of cleanliness).

I tried SD Maid for a while. At one point I deleted some things it recommended and had a ton of problems thereafter, until re-flashing. I've never used it again and don't miss it.

Thanks for the suggestions [MENTION=5451734]megalomanic14[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2723252]ojai00[/MENTION]. I have at work an netgear DIR-601 N router that I recently reset to factory defaults and in my home I have a netgear nighthawk r-7000 ac router and no bandwith leechers fo sho. The dual band nighthawk share the same TKIP long password for both 2.4 and 5ghz bands. I will try the app Wifi Analyzer and set the channel width to 20mhz as well as try to be on the least used channel. I'll report any positive changes. Thanks every1! :)

Hey Mega. Since you seem to be into scenic wallpapers, I'd suggest you take a look at http://www.reddit.com/r/EarthPorn

There is amazing scenic photography there, often VERY high res.

I was feening for a flash fix. My cm 12 stint Lasted all of 14 hours. Had about 6 random reboots in that span of time. Anyway I clean flashed v8 and restored data only with twrp and everything works like a charm. Just thought I'd mention it since I read someone saying he was too lazy to reinstall everything again, as am I, I must say. Lol. It's good to be back. Never thought I'd miss touchwiz that much. But this is by far the best Rom for the note 4 IMO of course.

..... this type of thread was more along the lines of what I meant for the search .... the threads I trolled when I got my vibrant forever ago got tired of answering questions and sent me on the search.

Ok thanks for the update. I'm using Nova now but would like to eliminate as much extra apps as possible.

Still an awesome ROM! Can't wait for Lollipop to drop!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea man I love tw on fk and dig thr 4x5 but love the 5x5 as well...i also use nova on and off as well...tbh I normally have like 7 or 8 launchers installed and all setup lol so don't worry if it's apps your worried about...i have cut down to just over 215 apps...they won't slow anything down no worries just greenify the bad ones for battery but the scores and battery stats I post have all my apps included ect

I've cut back a little on v8 with apps and everything just because I didn't use several of the launchers

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cowboyaryk:
Mega, would you see any problems for me if I disable "keep awake" and "location" settings for certain apps?

If it would be smooth sailing, are there any apps I should NOT disable the above two settings? Or can I disable them all without features not working. (not sure the relevance, but I use an android watch, moto 360, legend headset when I drive, and chrome cast at home)

Lastly, how can I gain access to the "app settings" to disable the first mentioned settings? I've used other ROMs that the settings were baked into the settings menu, not that I'm asking for that, just looking for your recommendation on what's most compatible with your ROM.

Thanks Mega! I really love this ROM, all errors cleared up and runs stable as stock, faster than stock!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I personally don't like jacking with permissions tbh...I don't recommend doing it precisely because you don't know which will break a function or cause cascading issues...then the other ones that are the bad location pings actually need it for when you use them like maps ect..so i prefer to greenify user apps and that's it....the op2 is my setup. ..if you go about it it's done thru xposed...

Yea the kitchen sink method lol...i prefer to leave the mods on op2...download xposed installer from op2 then install it...download app settings mod, check it in modules, install xposed framework and Reboot

Mega

Edit: I follow a very simple formula...if my battery life is sufficient or way beyond and the performance is as fast as it is...why introduce possible issues where there otherwise would be none...

Did you try to restore (as opposed to reinstall) backed up apps?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jwgallardo:
Since I was having issues with my WiFi connection mentioned in suggested link within this thread, I want to update the situation. The issue was the DHCP server of my DSL router of my Internet provider. When I updated ROM on GN3 and also newer GN4, something happened that newer software had issues with my DSL router. Neither GN3 with old firmware nor GN2 and GN1 had issues. After many tests I could conclude that it was the DHCP server. What I did was to disable both WiFi and DHCP server from my DSL router just leaving enabled NAT and DNS. Now this router handles DSL, NAT and DNS and four ethernet ports.

I connect three APs to DSL router via ethernet with dd-wrt firmware in router mode (no NAT) to handle WiFi connections within the house. The three are using the same SSID and same security scheme (WPA2 with AES) in order to have roaming capabilities. One of these three routers has DHCP server enabled to handle it instead of my DSL router that was introducing problems. All of these three routers are pointed to the fixed IP address of the DSL router as the gateway and local DNS. Remember that just one router must have DHCP server enabled and just one also must be the NAT and DNS server (mainly the one that also handle the Internet connection, fiber, DSL or cable). Consider also that AES encryption is more secure and faster than TKIP.

I'm planning to buy a TP link ADSL modem without WiFi to replace my provider's DSL router in order to have DSL, NAT, DNS and DHCP server in the same equipment. I feel that way is faster. Then connect my 3 WiFi APs to it as described in router mode.

Finally, be sure that DHCP server IP addresses don't interfere with fixed IP address assigned to all routers and maybe printers connected to the whole network. I'm using channels 1, 6 and 11 for my APs.

Be sure also that WiFi configuration in your phone is not going to sleep when screen is off. I hope this information can help.

In case anyone is interested in the latest version of TWRP

recovery v2.8.4.0 for Tmobile here is a direct download link:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722643076

Flash this in recovery.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mcdavid:
What's new in 2.8.4.0:

Add flashing of boot and recovery images via the TWRP GUI (Find the Images button on the Install page)

Fix some MTP related crashes and bugs

Eliminate TWRP toggling USB IDs during boot if MTP is enabled

Fix various adb sideload issues

Improve threading of actions

Eliminate separate thread for screen timeout

Update libblkid to 2.25.0

Use power button as back button on watch themes for easier navigation

Add mutex locking to data manager

Improve custom theme handling on encrypted devices

Allow the stock theme to be offset by build flags so we can center a lower res theme on a higher res screen especially for watches with round screens

You don't even need to use a non-playstore version of youtube. The latest playstore version of youtube will work if you just make the change in build prop to 5.0.1. Nothing gets broken. Nothing to be nervous about. If you find a problem, change build prop back to 4.4.4. No reason not to try.

Hey Mega,

I wasn't gonna do this post about usage as I have done it before. But seeing what I just got out of my Note4, I did not want to miss an opportunity to thank you one more time. Check out the pics. This is beyond Awesome :)

Although I had only 3+ hours of screen on time, but I got 2d 6h out of a single charge, with Wifi, AutoSync ON (with 5 email accounts), bunch of xposed modules + LMT, System UI set to 480, CPU min set to 1Ghz+.

Yea I understand that the option becomes available...what I'm saying is that in the thousands of videos I've seen all but 1 have been 720p quality....1 video was natively 1080p...the playback reso is great to have but if the video isn't shot and streamed uncompressed there's no real benefit...and youtube compress these videos to death...my raffle video was shot in full 1080p and got compressed almost to 1080i....that's why I'm saying I love the hack but given how few 2k videos there are on youtube and the compression issues I'll hold off for a while until Google get their crap together for Youtube

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mcdavid:
I totally agree. With a 5.7 in screen, I can't tell the difference between the same YouTube video at 720p or 1080p or even 1440p. I did a test with some of Marques Brownlee's videos, downloading them in all three resolutions on TubeMate. I can't tell a difference on this screen (not because of screen quality -- but, because of its size).
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
But if you found videos that were actually shot in 2k..someone posted a link to a 2k and 4k test video...it's a big file but you should be able to at least play it in full 2k and try to take advantage (totally agreed for what it's worth on 5.7 inch phone) of the n4 screen..in theory lol...but i know the have to be shot in the reso you want to play them at natively. ..marquees may have shot in 2k if so then yea I agree it's prolly too small of a difference to tell...my point about youtube was just that the quality gets destroyed and very few are actually shot in even 1080 was all...and that's the key to the sharpness it has to be shot on those insane cameras to see the difference or else you still just get 720 on a 2k screen which I get...alot lol

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Th3Bill:
I think what he's trying to ask is if you can put what Post number you announce the new build at next to the DL link. I think he means so that people trying to "search before asking" on the latest build can do so without having to sift through all 7600+ posts in this thread to figure when new versions are being discussed versus last version... Might make easier for people on app.

Request is probably in response to the many "V8 still says V7" questions followed by the usual "read the thread" or "search the thread" responses.

Or I could be totally misunderstanding LOL
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
But all information is in the op...not the threads that's what I'm confused about? Any rom specific changes are specifically laid out in the op...and are simply mirrored in the variant builds...that's why I read it the same way but wasn't sure?
