I finally cracked it fellas lol...have been learning the gradient scaling to really finalize and tailor the custom FireKat Widgets...the first trial run came last night....here's the first finished g3/g flex 2 widget and a near gradient search bar...enjoy

Mega

I'll be adding a bunch of different new gradient styled widgets I'm sure lol...enjoy

You can mod the main and gradient colors now that everything is setup...simply pick the colors you want and opacity and they'll blend together seamlessly
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mlock420:
Simply awesome
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
Yep Samsung is notorious for their "gimmicky" features from phone to phone on top of their world renowned TouchWiz crapification (I mean Android defiling skin).

Some stuff is ok I guess and tailors to some but they need to tone down on some of the stuff and improve the rest (like the fingerprint reader in the S6 - that's a nice improvement finally).

That breathalyzer option would be sweet lol. I actually got one recently from Androidarea.com. Tiny little device that plugs into my phone. Surprisingly not bad.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ojai00:
You can also turn it on in Wanam if you have that Xposed mod installed.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] morgej:
THanks...I didn't see that option buried in Wanam
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rudbwoy:
I searched on AppOps and App Ops in FK thread...nothing. Safe to use Mega?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RaymondPJR:
It makes you crazy knowing what they are capable of doing, and then they come up with gimmicky crap like that!

What sort of wizardry is this! Lol!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Sure man its just a mod no worries long as it's 4.4.4 compatible or works on stock it should work on fk

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lmao thanks bro...now that I figured it out I'll be making a bunch of new widgets lol...love the look on my note lol

Mega

This is just 1 widget...the amount of options gradients opens up is awesome
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Repost as I think alot of people missed this set buried under a bunch of posts...and having a few of my recent favorites wanna make sure everyone sees the latest additions...all told the last 2 weeks I've added somewhere around 300 or 400 2k to 6k shots between the 3880x2560 box and the Above 2k Box

Fellas just uploaded 15 new insane 2k and 4k wallpapers...enjoy

These 2 are mind blowing...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SPreston2001:
HI I just rooted and flashed TWRP on my Note 4, do I need to do anything special before installing the latest V11? I saw something about ODIN flashing the Ank4 base for anything V6 and later so I didnt know if that applied to fresh installs as well. Thanks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea it applies mainly to first time flashers or coming from another rom...follow the op instructions and you'll be set as you must Odin flash the proper base rom before flashing fk

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
What are you running now? NJ7 or NK4? If you're on NJ7 you'll need to Odin to NK4 before you can flash v11
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
Do any of you guys know if any tinted status bar xposed module work for this rom? You know, how lollipop status bar matches the app color?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SPreston2001:
Im just running the stock rooted rom right now. I just got the phone last night so today I rooted it and flashed TWRP so this will be my first ROM. Thanks

EDIT: I just looked at my base version and the last 3 end in NK4 so im assuming im on NK4 lol.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
There's 2 versions of stock: NJ7 and NK4. Go to settings-> about phone-> and see if it says NJ7 or NK4.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SPreston2001:
OK thanks I'm pretty sure im on NK4 so I should be good to flash V11 through TWRP correct?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
You should be good to go. Make sure you read the first 2 posts in this thread about 5 or 6 times first.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SPreston2001:
Thanks will do! Im pretty familiar with flashing and rooting but im a little rusty seeing as I havent done it in about a year or so lol. Thanks again for your help!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ElMadre:
I'm using Tinted Status Bar, but I haven't monkeyed with it much. The main reason I got it was to get rid of the shadow on the homescreen status bar.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SPreston2001:
Thanks Mega!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Slightly refined this gradient g3 style widget for a new set up I'm working around it...remapped all icons...added a new gnow icon from Neon Moon icon pack and made a custom hot key that surrounds the g now icon...enjoy

Well mega it looks like you jinxed me....
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
What you do this time? Lol

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
The little tab that holds in my S Pen broke so now it just falls out. The tab is part of the entire metal frame/mid section assembly so I had to buy a whole new one of those for $83 :(
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
How in the world did you manage to do that? lol

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
It fell out of the hole after removing my S Pen. I circled it in the picture below
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] grantusmantus:
That would annoy me to no end. Bummer dude. At least it's replaceable.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
If you look on the bright side, replacing this will get rid of those unsightly micro scratches on the chamfered edges of my bezel. I think it comes with new power/volume keys too. Hopefully they'll be less lose and rattly than my originals.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Damn man that's def a bummer...I hate to hear that man...on the plus at least it's fixable replaceable and relatively inexpensive...but def sucks cuz idk really how YOU could have done much to break it...unless you have a habit of putting the s pen back in with a hammer lol...def seems super random...sorry dude

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
I use the S Pen more than my fingers so I think it was just worn out from being constantly pushed on when I remove/insert the stylus. I wouldn't say it's inexpensive, but it's cheaper than a whole new phone.

I'm hoping that this new mid frame will solve my 2 biggest annoyances with this phone: lose rattling power/volume buttons and my lose S Pen. The buttons and S Pen on my Note 3 were rock solid, but on this phone they are lose and rattle like hell.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] grantusmantus:
This proves each phone is somehow unique. I have no rattle. Buttons are tight and clicky. S-pen is the same. So weird.

(Not meant to be a "my phone is more awesomer" post):D
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pr0cl1v1ty:
Does anyone have any issues with setting up an exchange email account? I get failed auth. error.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
They aren't as bad as my dad's Nexus 5 (notorious for lose buttons), but I can still hear them rattle if I shake the phone or if I get a call/text. They do click nicely and provide good feedback, whereas the buttons on my Note 3 were kinda stiff and "mushy". My S Pen started out rock solid but over time it started to get looser and looser until it reached the point of feeling like it wasn't going to stay in the phone. I probably remove/insert the pen at least 100+ times a day so that's gotta be why. I guess I'd better stock up on mid frames lol.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Same...super tight buttons...almost machined feeling....yea I use my s pen a lot...even on my n2 still and never seen this so I'd say it was a fluke or possibly had help from when it was opened up the first time or something...one thing about my n4 it doesn't squeak or pop at all it doesn't make a sound as far as rattle or anything

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
Who knows what caused it. I've had a new screen, new battery, and now a new frame. All I need now is to replace the S Pen and motherboard and I'll have a whole new phone [emoji6]
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Thee_illuminati:
I can't seem to figure something out and it's annoying....anytime I unlock my phone it flashes a red color on the edges as if it was taking a screen shot. ...anyone know what it is? I'm guessing it's wanam theme but I literally tried everything and it won't go away!!!! Lol help anyone?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
Do you have "show screen updates" checked by any chance?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Thee_illuminati:
I actually checked that and it still doesn't go away....it flashes as if it was that but it flashes red.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
What about this?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Thee_illuminati:
Also off...I'm going crazy!!!!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
What Xposed modules do you have?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Thee_illuminati:
Nvm.....I did dalvic and cache then also fixed permissions and it got rid of it

Thanks for the help....one of those 3 did it
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea just make sure you dont mess with anything in dev options outside of gpu rendering and animation speeds ... as Face pointed out there's a bunch of screen diagnostics in there that cause some funky looking stuff lol... nothing harmful just slightly sketch when you re not expecting it lol

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] champoi:
Hey fellas, I was in Best Buy this afternoon and a few things -

1) The S6 Edge IS nicer than the S6. I don't know how that's possible. lol The edges are nice. I mean, it slopes like so slightly on the sides, but it's just a really nice looking phone. Felt lighter than the S6 too.

2) Camera on the S6 is SICK! Like, the auto-focus and shots are just unbelievable. Very nice. I was really impressed.

3) The wireless charging pad is really nice. Plop it on and it instantly starts charging. It was really cool.

4) The screen was PRETTY. It was so clear and crisp, wow. Also, TouchWiz was looking super fresh. I really liked it. Samsung is hooking it up lately.

5) No Gear VR. :( I'm going to check out another BB tomorrow, maybe they'll have one.

Basically, ahhh, this got me stoked for the Note 5. lol I know it's silly cause this phone is pretty nice, but if they come out with an Edge that's on the S6 on the Note 5 and NOT like the one on the Note Edge, I'm sold - despite the fact that it looks like it'll be a sealed up, no battery swapping or SD card expansion affair. lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Really? That's funny I wasn't overly impressed with the S6 or edge lol...i only got about 15 mins with them..bur other than the sort of novelty of the edges...the screen is super pretty buts its the exact same as n4 just alot smaller...camera was def good but couldn't see much difference between my note tbh as I think we hit a certain point where it's sort of relative as they can only be so sharp or saturated lol...def an improvement over stock n4 camera tho sure...my biggest annoyance was for the power of the hw it's no where near as snappy as it should be imo...i actually like the s5 design better personally I'm not a fan of glass backs...it's def a nice device i just wasn't really impressed by anything next to my note...it's the first year I felt like the s device trailed the note not the other way around

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] champoi:
Really? Man, I couldn't STAND the S5. The dimpled back made me so mad. lol And I figured the screen seemed sharper if it was the same as the Note 4 since more gets crammed in a smaller space. Hahah, to me, Samsung just picked some ideas from Apple for the tops and bottom edges and Sony for the glass back and figured they'd keep the front the same. lol The one I messed with seemed snappy enough, but I STILL don't think the price difference between the S6 and Edge variant is even close to warranted. I didn't think it was warranted with the Note series and at least you still had some sort of functionality, but here, it's just fluff! lol Still pretty. lol

Did you get to try a Gear VR yet?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Thee_illuminati:
Yea ive noticed all that....it's crazy.

Now I actually have another question the how can I stop Google GoogleMaps voice from going back to the old robot voice
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
No glass backed phones for me for obvious reasons lol [emoji6]

Anyone here a Beautiful Widgets user? They have a new S6 clock theme that's pretty slick. Usually I don't like having a clock on my home screen (I can just look at the notification bar) but this is pretty neat looking. I like the shadows behind the numbers while still maintaining a high level of transparency.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Oh what the hell lmao they strait jacked one of my custom fk designs lmao

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
Samsung is just stealing ideas from everyone, aren't they? [emoji6]
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Google maps voice changed from that?

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Thee_illuminati:
Lol...no no no....it just randomly speaks as a robot instead of the high quality voice.

It'll say something all nice then out of nowhere yell in a her crazy robotic voice
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] champoi:
I haven't experienced that. I'll be using it tomorrow so I'll let you guys know if that happens. You have another Maps app on your phone?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Thee_illuminati:
Nope. All I have is Google maps....and it's been doing to me for a few weeks...possible even months or so...It'll randomly speak in its lower quality. Kinda sounds like Samsung I think.....haven't really paid too much attention but I know it sounds horrible
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No and thats originally why I met up with my buddy lmao...hopefully tomorrow if they have them out on display

Yea an it is technically sharper in a smaller area...but my computer is 2560x1440 over 24 inches an super sharp lmao....so my buddy and I couldn't actually see any difference between n4 and s6 screen or camera... they have slightly different tap to focus it seemed like but the camera took really similar shots to fkn4 camera which is great...i mean all round there's nothing wrong with them...they're just mini n4s lol...i will say we both thought s6 was super boring and very plain the edge is at least unique....and while I'll never have another glass back after my old iPhone I shattered 4 in 15 months lmao ans they're always dirty...i may not have like the dimpled back either but I actually like the overall look and feel of s5 better than s6 personally...i wasn't disappointed by anythign but the utter lack of snappiness and quickness but that's been google trend with ios style animation wince 4.4.2 so i cant blame samsung as I said same thing of nexus 6

One thing I do despise is the cartoonish faded kinda icon set tho really don't like that strongly...i love n4 icon set I think it's x clean and pro

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Oh man idk...I'd say try an make sure you've downloaded and updated google text to voice...also have google voice output in language settings...also to be safe download the language pack from Google settings...that would cover all your bases and ensure whatever else would be on google side

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lmao nah that's not a samsung design hahah the S6 widget is like this lol....but that dev has good taste I'll give him that [emoji106]

Mega

This was one of my earliest transparent widgets lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
Your widget looks pretty close, but the shading behind the numbers is a little darker and doesn't extend back as far as the S6 theme. On the S6 theme it looks like the numbers sort of flew in from inside the screen and left a light barely visible trail behind them.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea i know how to do the gradient scaling but I'm not a fan of it on text tbh...that's why I didn't include it from the real one but yea it's there normally on s6

The funnier part is the strait up dupe of my custom widget lol I think that's hilarious

Btw what you end up doing with your Note 3?

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Speaking of vr my buddy and I were discussing it trying to figure out the direction they're gonna take it...as I don't think it's feasible or really reasonable to lock the headsets to a single device and release headsets for each device...even for people that own more than 1 device not even sort of using it with another manufacturer phone or something...but if you own a note 4/s6 or n4/n5 coming up I can't imagine buying another vr headset and not everyone keeps their old devices like i do so Idk...they can't do a 3rd 5.7 inch note imo so it's def a bit a question mark how they make it commercial and how they sort of market it cuz I'm sure they wanna get vr mainstream as their devices are so it makes even less sense not to have an sd card...i guess s6 isn't gonna be vr capable?...or if they enable it man that's severely handicapped with no sd lol...yay store 2 games and a movie with no apps hahah

Imo if you have vr you have to have an external sd card...otherwise you better make 128gig standard minimum at the price of a 16gb even that isn't convenient like an sd so yea def interesting to see what they were planning cuz it's baffled me hahaha

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
It's hiding away in its box. I take it out every once in a while to mourn and wish that I had just stuck with FireKat.

I check eBay every once in a while for a smashed up Note 3 with good guts or a deal on a motherboard but they're still outrageously expensive :(
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Especially now man...not to salt the wound but that happened at the worst possible time ever for the fk builds...def worth a consideration as the price drops imo I'll prolly end up getting another n3...possibly a tmo one when n5 comes out and the price drops even more ...i absolutely love that phone I'm constantly messing with it...i even pull my note 2 out like tonight and update it and mess with it ect I love having them aound to play with and have backups in case something happens

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
Yeah I hear your V18 build is pretty sick. That phone will always hold a special place in my heart, but this Note 4 fills the void nicely. It'd be nice to have it as a backup because I've been using my Gnex and Droid X and they're from when I had Verizon. I have AT&T now so I can't make any calls or send texts with them. If my Note 3 was still alive I could just pop in my sim and send my Note 4 off for whatever repair it needs without being miserable.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
yea I've been really happy with the Note 3 man... I've fallen in love with N4 but N3 is still an amazing device... yea the builds turned out pretty good ... thats exactly why I got into keeping my Notes... got so tired of having to send off my broken Iphones and being stuck with old crap phones... cuz I was constantly wrecking them lmao... the irony is I have all my old android devices and there's barely a scratch on my N1 or N2 lmao better safe than sorry though

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
I think it would be awesome if I could create a hybrid of the Note 3 and 4. I like the look of the Note 4, but I wish it had the stitching on the back cover from the Note 3. That was fly as **** but Sammy ditched it :( I would use the design on the front from the Note 3 because it didn't cover the capacitive buttons or notification light. I also liked how the screen on the Note 3 was slightly recessed. USB 3.0 was pretty cool too just so I could say my phone had it even though my laptop doesn't have USB 3.0.

The main thing I miss from my Note 3 is the software. Wanam worked 100% on it, whereas on my Note 4 about half of the stuff works. Plus a lot of stuff is missing in the settings menu, but it's still there. There's just no way to easily access it. For example, air gesture, voice controls, hands free mode, etc are all inaccessible from the settings menu. You have to long press the quick settings icon or use an app such as Activity Launcher to get to them.

Some of the features have been removed but are still listed. Example: open up air gestures and try out quick glance. It force closes. They replaced quick glance with air wake up and didn't bother to remove it from the list of gestures. Can you say half baked software? :silly:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea some of that is hidden in the build and wanam hasn't fully updated all the mods for the n4 4.4.4 build...what it is they're all active but turned off in settings.db...I've activated a bunch of them to see what worked and what didn't but when I was messing with getting grid icons settings and light effect lock screen which was another one hidden but still there...tbh it's actually really common as they make a universal ui/launcher then apply different sysui framework res and database libs... it's the same reason we could changed display id on fkn3 and get s5/n4 toggles and grid settings etc...so things like air gestures, toolbox, finger hovering mode etc are all in settings.db and most of then can be fully activated...I have grid settings and sometimes light effect on my setup

Love Beautiful Widgets. I have the 4 x 1 weather with current conditions hidden and the flat theme going. I then set up the 1x1 weather widget for current conditions but set the click action to open NOAA unofficial weather which I feel is the most accurate.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tfly212:
Anytime I get that error it usually is a small error in the settings entry. I have exchange calendar and email synching with the stock email app and it works well.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mrmarshall428:
Do you guys get unusual battery drain using Beautiful Widgets? When I used it I was experiencing extra drain and high wakelocks.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tfly212:
No...not really. I have it set to only refresh every 4 hours which helps. I then manually refresh if necessary. I charge each night but get about 5 hours SOT each day.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
How'd you enable the grid settings? I thought that was only possible in NJ7

I have it update every hour and I don't get bombarded by wakelocks. I still get 6ish hours of SOT easy.
