I have a dumb question.

My understanding is that a clean install does not involve wiping the external SD card.

Can any conflicts/problems come from what is left over from the prior install on the external SD card when a clean install is done?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No you won't have any issues by not wiping your storage either internal or external...i rarely wipe my storage tbh

V4 Flawless...running like a CHAMP. Nothing's broken!

Flawless...nothing is broken! To me that's the most important thing.

I do notice that it is smoother as well. :good:

In addition, it's a lifesaver for LastPass to login to apps and websites and such. It's just great to just swipe a finger instead of typing in email and pw.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gnash.s:
Cool. I was actually getting a good battery life even with the stock rom as well. 2% drain for 8 hours last night which is probably the best I have ever had.

I am just waiting for the v2 to be uploaded to try your rom for the first time. Can't wait to get rid of the lags once and for all :)

-Thanks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Oh jeesh lol yea for sure man the experience will be slightly improved lol

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] paul89:
I tried it on stock rom. It was terrible. I would register my fingerprint just fine and then when I went to actually use it on the lockscreen, it would never register. So frustrating. I'm still on stock eagerly waiting for v2. You are the man!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea man its on its way slowly crawling to the drive box lol...blame it on twc haha...22% so shouldn't be too long...hopefully it'll be worth the wait [emoji106]

Wondering if i install this rom will it fix this??? Android System taking on average 20-25% of battery every da....
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Ouch yea it should def improve your battery life significantly...v1 was about 40% to 50% increase over stock at full brightness so v2 should do you just right

Average v1 test times: (important note: these are only test taken after 2 charges...my roms won't reach peak battery efficiency for 4 or 5 charge cycles so even v1 is actually higher but what I noticed over the data from myself and feedback so far)

Screen on super heavy use: average range with full brightness: 4 hours 41 mins to 5 hours 11 mins

Standby: .35% per hour roughly 20 hours plus 3 hours 40 mins screen on time

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] siggystyle:
I have a question on this (in general, and using your ROM(s))... I actually held out from TWRP and v1 of ur ROM to do it all at once - and now that I understand v2 coming out thos evening, I will be having a late one tonight and playing "setup" all day tmrw (while watching ?) haha

Anyway, my question is this: How true/effective/needed is it to run the full-charge:discharge cycles for the device to maximize battery memory/capacity/efficiency?? If completely true/necessary, how many full cycles must/should be run to achieve this, and is this to a dead battery discharge (as in killing it) or perhaps just to 10-20%?? Does length of time on charger once fully charged to 100% come into play (or hirt the phone at all, if left on for a few hrs or more)?? The reason I ask is I most definitely want to keep my phone in the best possible condition (battery included) and believe this to be of particular concern once flashing new ROMs or resetting the device... Please let me know if I am mistaken here, and let me know the best/proven methods to maximize operation and peformance on our devices, if you would?? Thank you for bringing us all this wonderful opportunity to our N4s, Mega!! (and plz, if anyone else has imsight they can offer to this matter - especially using v1, chime-in??)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No this is a great question man...but when I'm referring to the battery life breaking in the rom ect...its not the physical battery itself as the physical capacity is fixed...but it's the calibration between the battery controller module which measures the batteries capacity like a gas tank measures your fuel level...then then as the battery/controller get synced with the rest of the system this takes around 2 to 3 charge cycles...by charge cycle I mean like a typical full day but no specific % of discharge like your thinking...there's so much misinformation and a little debate over the validity of lithium cells and the discharge level for optimal battery life but don't get too concerned you can replace your battery for 25 bucks lol...but a rule of thumb from my experience is use them like normal but try not to ever go below say 10% but even this only extends the total life maybe a few months but being user replaceable and relatively cheap it's no big deal...i just replaced my n3 battery since it had lost some oomph stock Samsung oem battery...20 bucks shipped overnight....tbh the thing that will kill your battery faster than anything is rapid charging...that is one known acknowledged way of eroding the life of a lithium ion cell over repeated rapid charge/discharges. ..but as for calibration and settling...its more the system settling, cache building, dalvik building, controller/databases, libraries, ect ect settling in while your battery monitor syncs with the physical battery and the rom....nothing to worry about just to note when comparing say firekat v2 to v3 battery life just after flash...but since v1 was 40% over stock battery shouldn't be a consideration after v2...but great question I hope this clears things up

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Heads up on v2...i know how many of you guys are waiting around for it lol so in trying to keep you updated...55% going quicker than expected. ..should be updating the op shortly then the rom will go live when it's done...

Mega

A taste of v2 literally with a single reboot while setting it up...with XPosed and wanam dragging it down lol...hit 69 fps on the stairs of quadrant lolz...almost 93000 cpu score haha this phones ridonkulous lmao
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mgbotoe:
What program do you use for benchmark?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Tbh I don't really ever do then except for testing one build vs the next to compare the changes I made in somewhat analytical way albeit as inaccurate as benchmarks are for my use its effective objectively ...i use quadrant when I do run the comparisons. ..v2 def way snappier

Mega

Do we have to use wanam and xposed or can we just not use them? Just curious if that will mess with the ROM or not.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Ilkinansr92:
You dont have to use them if you dont want to
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mcdavid:
Thanks. Last dumb question (for now).

In TWRP advanced wipe settings, leaving "internal storage" unchecked leaves all programs installed .... but checking "data" removes all program data from those programs?

In other words, is the benefit of leaving ""internal storage" unchecked that programs do not have to be reinstalled? Thanks!!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ejdavis:
Anyone try wifi tethering? Do we just use tmobile Hotspot? Can't find Hotspot usage online on desktop to verify. I just gives data amount

No internal storage is merely what's in your my files internal storage folders...your apps are in data...and they get wiped in a clean flash

Haha yes it is louder which I like a lot. The ROM is blazing fast. The fastest got even faster.

I WILL OFFICIALLY SAY: V4 IS THE BEST ROM I'VE DRIVEN TO DATE since day one of my ROM days.

Phenomenal.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RiverCity.45:
I'm still unclear about something. Perhaps I'm just dense. Is there some way to get private mode working? I had it working with rooted stock and no Xposed (since that killed private mode). I would like to have it working, but just can't seem to find the magic combination of changes to make that happen. Just installed V4 from rooted stock and lost private mode.

Edit: Never mind. It's working now.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] CB620:
SHealth and Private mode freezes when I pick them. Any fix for that. Yes I have xposed installed.

Nevermind.

Do you have to do that for v4?

I check the build.prop of the v4 zip and it's already = false.

Can't Write to Internal Storage

Okay, I have a problem. When I first got my SM-N910T, which I'm using with my AT&T SIM card, I installed v2 of this rom. I wasn't able to use the fingerprint scanner, however, I realized after the fact that I was still on the prior baseband, which was probably causing the problem. Since then I switched over to Dynamic Kat, although with that rom, I was getting numerous "random" reboots per day, which, more than likely, were caused by something I changed. Before installing v3 of this rom this afternoon, I wiped dalvik, system, data, internal storage, and cache in twrp. After doing so, I was unable to write to the internal sd card. The external sd card, as well as the system partition, are both r/w. A couple hours ago, I noticed v4 of this rom was available, so I wiped dalvik, system, data, and cache, then installed it. I am still having the same problem accessing internal storage. I haven't seen anyone else using this rom having this problem, but any help would be appreciated.

Updating From V3 To V4

Well im on V3 and I want to update it to V4 whats the process?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PlatinumNick:
Read the OP
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mailboy1412:
I think you should try Odin back to NJ7 firmware

Link to firmware thread

Then reroot and reflash this rom.

It takes some time but that's the safe bet to make it work.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] arubamon:
Read the first post here

That's how I got from NIH, which came with my phone, to NJ7. So, I'm currently on NJ7.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
You need to odin flash stock ANJ7 when coming from dynamic man that will sort your issues...search and you'll see a few others in the same boat....then flash v4 ...i have att lte running perfect since day 1 of V1 man so it's not the roms...

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] CheesyNutz:
V4 = flawless for me super fast and stable
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] arubamon:

Thanks for your response, Mega. So, full NJ7, not partial? Thanks again
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Nah you really need to clean your system up and ensure all the proper bits are in place...odin flash ANJ7...then go clean...v4 will be worth it man...you won't need to flash or mess with anything else once your done...just do it right thr first time one proper go and you'll be cruising

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

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gregk232:
OP does not specify if you need to clean flash from V3 to V4. Do we always have to clear everything when updating, or can we dirty flash?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PlatinumNick:
The creator of this Rom suggest and recommends to clean flash.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gregk232:
OK, looks like any update to the rom requires a clean flash. Thanks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Rinthe:
Does "Ok Google" work on all screens (including lock screen) with this rom?

Btw, does can I use titanium backup if I go from V3 to V4? So I don't have to re-customize all my apps again.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pham818:
1. Ensure you are on the correct kit kat base rom version: ANJ7

2. Flash Chainfire Auto Root with Odin

3. Flash Twrp 2.8.1.1 with Odin

https://mega.co.nz/#!3YwgmYDb!Klgt9d...URQh4dkmlrM9hU

***Clear any stored fingerprint scans***

4 . Make a backup of your rooted stock rom

5. Wipe (do not dirty flash my roms) with Advanced

Asvanced Wipe Settings in TWRP: select as follows:

*Data

*Cache

*System

*Dalvik

>> Then swipe to wipe

6. Clean Flash FireKatV3

7. Let Install and Reboot

8. Let Note Boot and Leave Sitting Idle 10 to 15 mins

9. Complete your Setup

10. Reboot

I forgot to do step 10, you think that matters?

Already set everything up

To hide root from tmobile? Why would you hide root from them? Root cloak is really only used if your trying to use an app that won't function on rooted devices. ..ive heard of them but never come across one myself. ..never used or bothered hiding root or triangle away ect...never saw any point tbh

And no titanium back up at all? Or just to restoring everything, if that makes sense.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] glensta:
Oh maybe I misunderstood the way the module functions.

Reason I'd wanna hide root from T-Mobile is so they don't void my warranty know the phone is rooted etc.

Thanks for your response Mega.

Yea actually i think the resources are there just have to enable it. I did it with sqlite editor but it dissapears after reboot.

But anyway yea the tab layout is there...

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea I figured so...with the last round of devices that got 4.4.2 that could change the display device id and enable the toggles and a simple sys framework mod enable system ui tabs I figured it had to be hidden...I'll take a look in the next couple days when I get some time and see if I can put together a kit for those of us that are into the s5 toggle style

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I haven't heard of one that was as advanced tbh....I'll strait up say I never restore anything and haven't in years honestly...i stopped even prior to the compatibility stuff once I tested/saw the difference between simply clean flashing and restoring which was on 4.2 when I started noticing a difference...i know some people still like to use it and have a moderate degree of success but given the number of people that will read these posts I never recommend anything that will/could introduce issues where there otherwise would be none...you can try something like helium I believe is the other app...but yea with the play store bulk install option in all apps...long press an app then choose the rest...makes it as easy and fast as a restore minus the settings for specific apps...whatever route you go enjoy bro

I'm glad you caught that. [emoji106] It's so very true. A very bold statement, yes indeed. It's the Best ROM that I've ever experienced.

After doing the ROM thing for a while you begin to develop a real good feel, where you just know in an instant that somethings different. It's like an instinct thing. Strange I know lol....like if your a pet owner and someone switched out your white cat with blue eyes for example with another of the same kind....you'd definitely know lol.

There is without a doubt a noticeable difference between v3 and v4.
