No mines working fine...it may just be a fluke with your store version...did you happen to use an older apk from your sd card?

Uninstall amazon then install this apk and you should be set

Great job Mega!

Please if you would not say that I ask for too much. Can you include call recording feature in V4 just like in V2? I meant when you are talking to someone you record both conversations right away.

It was not included in V3,

Thanks Mega!!!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] napajs13:
Nope, mine works fine also.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
I think the whole problem is that some people just don't know

what to do unless they have a new or updated rom to flash. LOL

No, I use the one available from their website. I also tried the one you provided but they both do the same thing. I go to install one of my games and it says "Download Failed"
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Are you sure the app/games compatible with 4.4.4...i mean the apps installed on stock rom ok or another firekat build right? ...if so go into twrp and fix permissions...or clear app cache and data of Amazon app in app manager...try either of those and see if that sorts it

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GatoL0c0:
Ok problem solved with the Amazon App store. I had a suspicion that this was the problem....

I rebooted into recovery fixed permissions...upon loading the Amazon Appstore, it prompted me to update the Appstore and it works now. I'll have to see if XDA will work for me now...

*update*

Sweet! XDA is working again. I should have run fix permissions after installing all of my apps.

Thanks for the suggestions [MENTION=5451734]megalomanic14[/MENTION]
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No problem man...if you run into that for again down the line use that same method, quick easy and clesn..for whatever reason one of the new secure storage lockouts seem to be giving people bugs but it's so few and far between...i have a suspicion its twrp/flashing issues with selinux/4.4.4 permssion changes tangled with secure storage...im poking around looking for the fix...but so far it's been so random I can't pinpoint it as I can't replicate it nor have I had it it occur...just a bit of an oddity with 4.4.4 and something with the changes/flash/setup...but that typically takes care of it

What is the maximum brightness level everyone's running and still getting good battery life?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
I'm outside a lot so I have mine on full brightness most of the time. Even inside it is at least 50% or more. So average I'd say 75% for me overall.

I avg. 16+ hours a day with 25-30% juice remaining.

system apps

Mega,

In your OP2 it says this "4. Greenify all downloaded user apps...Dont touch system app/don't activate greenify xposed mod"

is there a reason for this i wanted to greenify a couple of system apps that i dont use that are constantly running in my background?

Thanks

If I can help with this in any way, just let me know (logs, running scripts, whatever might help.) So far I can have it happen 100% of the time flashing one of your builds. Never happens on any other build. I perform the exact same steps for any new build:

1. Boot into recovery - TWRP 2.8.1.0

2. Select Wipe

3. Swipe on the Factory Reset

4. Select Advanced Wipe

5. Select Dalvik, System, Data, Internal Storage, Cache

6. Swipe to wipe

7. Select Install

8. Select the zip file to install

9. Wait for install to finish

10. Reboot

11. Once the device gets to the initial ROM setup screen, wait at least 5 minutes

12. Go through the setup process including having google start the recovery process

I need to Fix permissions every time or get the same problems installing things.

Hey all. Probably could had search it but I'm on mobile and work. But does anyone have issues with tethering? I just got a notification about I have used 2.5 gb of mine. I guess the rom didn't have WiFi tethering clear from T-Mobile... Or is it me. Please advise.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] elite-fusion:
Hey Mega,

I have noticed something a bit interesting. I have a 3 Note 4's and only mine is rooted with your rom installed.

I took a road trip down to GA this weekend and noticed that the other 2 Note 4's got the same crappy data connections as mine did, BUT their's had the E icon for data, while mine had none, so though theirs had a slow Edge connection, I was stuck with nothing.

Also, I noticed that when I went to Settings > More Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Mode, I noticed that on mine, it is set to LTE / GSM / WCDMA, while on the other 2 Notes 4's which are bone stock, they have LTE / WCDMA / GSM, which as you can see is transposed where WCDMA comes first. Not sure if this has anything to do with them having a slow connection while I had no data service connection at all, but I just wanted to share this with you in hopes of there actually being an issue that needs to be fixed.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Ilkinansr92:
I have push service frozen and link platform uninstalled

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GatoL0c0:
For what it's worth...

My GSM and WCDMA are not transposed like you described but I haven't left the house yet to test and see if it changes.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] elite-fusion:
Hmm that is weird in that case why mine are transposed :(
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] blade7840:
I keep my display brightness on 40%. I Usually get over 18hrs of battery. 5hrs of screen time.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Rinthe:
great, thanks! does it also include the OTA samsung update? does "ok google" work on all pages including the lockscreen?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GatoL0c0:
I use Solid Explorer and even though it has root access and I fixed permissions, it don't let me delete any internally stored files. I can delete and copy on the external card no problem though. Strange...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gregma:
Fixing permissions usually fixes problems with writing to secure areas. Have you tried another root explorer like "file explorer" or "ES file explorer"? What is the location of the files you are trying to remove?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Ilkinansr92:
Mines working fine here, clean delvik n cache fix permissions again.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GatoL0c0:
In the internal download folder. I have not tried another file explorer yet.

I'll try clearing cache this time. A weird side affect I got from trying to fix permissions is it disabled a color theme I had set with a Swype Xposed module. Strange thing was it didn't affect other mods of the same module. I had to uninstall/reinstall to get out working again.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GatoL0c0:
Ugh, that didn't work and it disabled my color theme again in the Swype Tweaks module.

Well if I really need to delete from the internal, I can use the regular file explorer as a workaround.

One thing I noticed, wouldn't Solid Explorer be listed here in Super User?

*final update - fixed*

I moved a file from my internal to my external and it requested Super User Access. I granted it and it works fine. I swear I had already given it permission beforehand. Regardless, it works.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sunnyo_ola:
Mega, I that you are very busy, please don't forget to add the call recording to V4 just like you did in V2.

Thank you sir!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
That's just an option in Wanam bro...i didnt build call recording in i simply included xposed and wanam in v2...if you activate xposed and wanam you'll get it back

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Heads up on V4...so I'm zipping together the final build of v4...gotta test flash it...made a ton of changes...

Increased All Volume for speaker, speakerphone, headphones, AND earpiece by 10 entire points...this may be ridiculously loud but you can always turn down the volume rather than being on full for everything...will adjust as we go

Net speed and browser tweaks

All data logging shut down...shut almost kill any leftover unnecessary system data sourcing

Boosted battery slightly..already insanely long lol

Performance overall is tight sharp and fast

Camera and video camera tweaks

Tethering modded back in...will also have a flashable zip in op2 to unlock tethering as well

Ui rendering and animation tweaks

Will upload it after test flash then post later on...

Mega

Edit: hell yes it's ridiculously loud lmao but sounds incredible...uploading v4 now...its a whole other level over v3 gotta be honest the new rendering tweaks made transitions and response instant even strait off a flash...Loving v4 will post when it's done
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Does it cause issues? as with everything it's not guaranteed... it's a general rule from having seen so many issues from greenifying system bits vs the benefit you get back in terms of battery...the battery life is already ridiculously efficient on the rom side so it's more of a why introduce further complications or issues when the tradeoff isn't substantial...and alot of stuff that may sound or seem arbitrary is integral to another system function so i never even activate greenify xposed on my devices

Just so we can remove the unnecessary questions coming up when v4 is released.............. CLEAN FLASH AT ALL TIMES.

THANKS
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GatoL0c0:
That question is always up for debate. Dirty flashing is something I've been accustomed to and I can't think of a time that I've had a detrimental problem with it. Normally I would only clean flash when I noticed a quirky thing here and there. I would like to hear your opinion/personal experience on this.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
FireKat V4 is live in the op...enjoy the build I'm having a blast on it

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PlatinumNick:
Well remember this thread is also for beginners and you sound pretty experienced fto me so instead of telling everybody to dirty or do whatever you want to do just be safe and knock off the headaches by just saying clean flash
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
On the flip side if a build hasn't changed/improved significantly enough to warrant a clean flash it probably wouldn't be a significant update imo...aside from avoiding issues I personally clean flash between my builds because it runs better and because the sheer number of changes across the entire system I make between each build...while we more advanced guys may be able to do it and make it work...when you're taking the time to root break warranty and flash a rom to improve the experience why not get the full experience out if it?

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GatoL0c0:
That's for sure. Clean Flash is by far the best way to go.

Wiping Internal storage is not needed. Regd. Titanium Backup, please do a search on this thread. That topic has been beaten to death even in this one thread. Mega's advice is not to restore anything using Titanium Backup.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
Well regardless, the OP/DEV clearly instructs everyone to not dirty flash his ROM for a good reason.

I would imagine (correct me if I'm wrong anyone) that if you start experiencing issues, any future posts regarding those issues would be counter productive to this thread and it would not make the Dev or anyone else here very happy...ie...if you do run into any issues, I'd recommend doing a Clean flash, before posting up any issues you may encounter.

Fair enough? :highfive:

You recommend noob's to clean flash, yet you have dirty flashed? This will confuse newcomers....

Have you ever gone swimming at an indoor pool (the nice ones) and having to rinse off before going into the main swimming pool? This is a common practice across the board. If you've been a apart of a swim team or any activities like that in school you'd know why they make you rinse off before going in. The reason they do this is to take that extra step for sanitation, even though they have chlorine in the water. Cleaner people = cleaner pool and a less chance of bacteria accumulation, not just in the water but around its surroundings as well.

Ex. Someone walks in barefoot and along the way before entering the gym they step in dog poop along with other things, but doesn't realize it. Now if they were to just step right into the pool area and into the water, would that be very sanitary to start with? No.

So yes, clean flashing is a good practice to maintain a healthy environment. Less prone to diseases and infections.

So why not rinse off? Dirty flashing is like going to the bathroom and not washing your hands and then later asking why you feel sick because you ate that sandwich with your unwashed hands that has bacteria on it. Eew.
