I saw a guy today toting around what I thought was an iPad. Turned out to be a Samsung tablet in a cool all white cover! Looked awesome! Now I'm interested in the raffle, lol! If you are still taking suggestions on wallpapers, I found a cool live one-'Space Colony'! It's dark but jaw dropping with all sorts of settings! Just saw Guardians of the Galaxy last night so I guess that's having an impact on me, lol!

Having a severe issue. Upgraded to V5 a few days ago. It's been seemingly solid. Then today, I decide to back up my ROM. I go on the SD card first and delete an old backup that I don't need (unsure if this is related, doubt it.)

Reboot into TWRP —> Backup. It gets to 650mb of \system, then stops. Backup failed.

I reboot the phone. I notice that Xposed framework is no longer installed/active. I go back in to reinstall the framework, it freezes, crashes, phone soft reboots itself. (This issue reproduces.)

What the heck is going on? The TWRP/Xposed issues happened so suddenly, it seems they'd be related.

I already did a CLEAN install of FireKat V5. I reinstalled all the apps via Titanium Backup (except Xposed. I manually reinstalled that from the original file, just to be sure.) Everything worked for about 15 minutes, then reverted. Same issue going on again. Tried to Clear Data in Xposed. Didn't help. What else?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] vibrantliker:
Sounds like what I was going through. Seems to be an issue when updating binaries with SU (via TWRP). I was going crazy. Tried odining to stock how many times, then I didn't update the binary on all new flashes and all has been good.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KRHairston:
Suggestion when asked by SU to update binaries always choose Normal and then reboot. Only method I have used to no fail no matter the device.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea that's the only thing I can think of...are you on ank4? If so simply don't update supersu after flashing and thst should avoid issues with twrp...ive peraoanlly updated supersu fine everytime but I'm on anj7...but it's either twrp or root imo

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mrniko:
first off i LOVE this rom... been using since v3 and stopped looking at other roms...

that being said is their any explination for the slight hang when exiting the camera app? its not a deal breaker, and i saw meglo said maybe its because both storage locations are being used, so i tried switching pictures and videos to the internal storage and it still hangs...

am i the only one still seeing this, does anyone know if it has been addressed in v5? im totally happy with v4 and dont wish to wipe my phone again, but its worth the wipe and restart if the the camera lag is fixed...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TheTofu:
Hmm, things look fine, the APs are 20MHz, otherwise you'd see them taking up more channels in WiFi Analyzer.

Seems really strange, I have 2 APs in my house and I have zero issues roaming between them on my Note 4.

I really wish samsung included the option to set roaming aggressiveness though.

[ROM] FireKatN4 Deodex V5 TW 4.4.4 Base: Extreme Speed/Snappiness/Battery Eff...

Just thought I'd ask if anyone can confirm. ROM has been perfect and still is. After using it for 4 days with no issues, I've decided to try Power Saving Mode and the phone reboots a few minutes after that. I'm able to duplicate it a second time. Otherwise, without using Power Saving, all is well. Any ideas?

EDIT: Search button finally worked and it seems it's a Wanam issue. I apparently have to re enable DVFS in Wanam which actually worked. No more reboot when using Power Saving Mode. Would enabling that option go against following OP#2 to a T? Any negative effects besides possibly getting some lag back?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
If you enable power saving you will go back to stock battery life and lose the efficiency for the most part...thats why i say not to use it on my roms...dvfs is strictly to remove an arbitrary governor samsung tacked on which is a dynamic touch boost that's has no benefit and typically causes weird lag

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
The only thing with gallery typically is the 1st time you go back and forth...other than that v5 is simply way faster like i told you before lol its across the board smoother and faster

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jwgallardo:
I have been reading a lot about roaming issues. It seems many android brands suffer from that but recently it seems not to be a persistent issue. All my other phones don't have the problem. So, it seems all are related to a file called wpa_supplicant. In my case, it seems google downloaded many APs info to my Wi-Fi setup. That is because I checked to download app data. This information affects one of the wpa_supplicant files installed in data/misc/wifi. So I manually deleted everything, reboot and then enter my Wi-Fi network credentials again. It seems to be doing the trick up to now. I hope I finally got the issue. Thanks for sharing that you have no roaming issues. That exactly what I wanted to hear.

Mega: is it recommended or not to ask google to download app data?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Dude why not simply clean flash instead of doing this whole run around pointlessly I don't understand? Ive been saying since the first post to reflash lol...You can make a backup and restore it but we can all only say it's a fluke so many times until you clesn flash lol...

Mega

Just fyi...unless you have a defective hw or fw interface to wifi module...you're flashing the exact same wpa_supplicant file and other peripheral wifi conf and controller files as every other person flashing the rom...if it was a wpasupp issue everyone would have the same problem...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gizmoscoop:
Does anyone have a problem with Netflix movies freezing?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jwgallardo:
Yes Mega I understand. The only reason of not doing so is that I think the issue was introduced to my system after flashing everything. So, if I do the same again, it will be in again too. So far, it seems that it was the case.

My phone is really running amazing and I think still stabilizing. Indeed the best ROM I have tried so far.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No the point is to find what in your setup caused the problem as it is not a rom issue...its either your note or your setup...that's the point we wanna narrow down hw or more than likely your setup...I get its running fine but your trying to deduce an issue that's not even in the rom...I'm telling you clean flash check your wifi...that's the only way determine anything man otherwise we'll never actually know or pinpoint what to avoid here on out...and we wanna track down the issue as it may be impacting more than just your wifi...

Mega

Just to be clear man I'm not trying to break your balls...just saying I'd rather track down the cause so you can avoid it rather than repeat it and constantly struggle with an issue you otherwise wouldn't have
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TheTofu:
Where is this option to have google download wifi data? Unless you mean to restore google's saved phone data in which case it never restores wifi SSIDs for me. I have to either use titanium backup or just connect to them all again.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Some_dude36:
Might flashing a correct modem solve the problem ?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
Not too shabby....great stuff :good:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] forbidinjustice:
I'm on ANJ7. Reflashed clean again, backed up ROM immediately (it worked this time), updated binary on Normal when prompted and everything is solid again so far. I will definitely keep that in mind for the future. So far that sounds like it was the issue... however, I did

not

update the binary immediately prior to the problem happening originally. Strange. If problem recurs, I'll restore ROM and ignore notification to update binary. Thanks, all! Thanks as always, Mega.

Does this have the built in tethering mod ?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jwgallardo:
I don't know how my Wi-Fi APs are synced. It seems to me that the option in accounts/google/sync app data may be doing the trick.

The point is that my Wi-Fi connections where crowded of previous APs and I remember that in previous phone migrations my setup remembers APs passwords. I don't restore any data with TB. I only have google accounts / sync app data checked in all phones and also use my backup pro app to copy phone log, sms, alarms, bookmarks and dictionary.

Thank you for been supportive in this. I don't want to be seen as inane here. I'm sure now my problem is not ROM related but something on my setup. I deleted everything in connections / Wi-Fi and add my network again. That solved 90% of the issues. Right now it only happens when roaming from a G to N AP.

---------- Post added at 08:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 AM ----------

Thank you very much Mega for been supportive in this. I don't want to be seen as inane or naive here. I'm sure now my problem is not ROM related and I know I will finish flashing again. I just want to know what part of my setup introduced the issue so I don't introduce the problem again if I reflash. That is why I continue looking for in my current installation but I will do a clean install again. Right now I target that sync app data in google accounts or sync APNs in my backup pro may be the root or cause. I really appreciate your guidance Mega, sorry if my english impress to be rude or dumb.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GatoL0c0:
Thanks for your tip, I'm going to download this today. As always there are similarly named apps in the Play Store. Is this the one you recommended?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TheTofu:
Yes, that's the one I use, though really any app that provides similar information will work.

I know for Windows there's also Inssider.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JonsConspiracy:
You fixed my SD Card issues. I had one app (LDS Gospel Library), which would not open because of SD Card write issues. I clean installed this ROM three times, before I found this and it then the app finally worked!!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] AntiCommon:
Ch mega, does this rom use a stock kernel? Or is it compatible with the likes of trickster mod? Is not that I need more speed but I like to squeeze everything I can out of my devices :p

As a side note, and probably related, but have you given any thought to adding double tap to wake and double tap to sleep? Would be incredibly useful features for when needing to use the phone with one hand only.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] force70:
??? The rom doesnt come with a modem so what he had before flashing the rom he will have after flashing.

Why would be need to flash another one if it didn't change in the first place?

There are several incompatibilities between intl and NA which dont allow for network signal if flashed on the wrong device.

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

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TheTofu:
Also, for up to 3 access points set each one to an isolated channel (1, 6, and 11), if you have more than 3 then with enough distance between them you can reuse a channel, so if you're looking at your house from the top spread the channels like 1,6,11,1 so repeating channels are the farthest apart physically
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GatoL0c0:
Double tap to sleep is an Xposed module so if you need it, it's there. But I don't know about one for waking as I never looked.

This is a stock ROM so Mega won't be adding "extras" such as what you described. It's not what he wants for the ROM.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TheTofu:
I recommend sticking with stock firekat kernel, other kernels ended up making my phone actually slower and more unstable, though the extra features were nice, they weren't worth it for me.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] AntiCommon:
Thanks for the info. :good:

I will look up that xposed module, thanks.

The biggest feature that would draw me to a custom kernel is double tap to wake. I could handle if everthing else was stock.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MrAwesome75:
I could be wrong, but I have never seen "tap to wake" on a Samsung device; even with custom ROMs and mods. So I'm not sure if it's even possible on the Note 4.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RaymondPJR:
This is not a complaint, just a puzzling observation. This part of his post right here also had me scratching my head, I deleted all the rest! Thing is, I've always had to re-enter passwords for Wi-Fi after a new flash. Except this time! Damn thing connected automatically to my network, password and all! Google already has everyone spooked, now this, lol! The explanation given makes sense.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Some_dude36:
ok this may be a noob problem . I downloaded twrp zip and unzipped it and odin doesnt see the recovery.img did I download a wrong version or ? Sorry havnt rooted anything in a while :D
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RaymondPJR:
You could try manually copying it into the folder where you placed Odin if it won't extract properly. I had that problem about two years ago.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MrAwesome75:
They're have been reports that certain versions of Odin aren't working properly on certain devices/files. Try a different version of Odin.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Some_dude36:
yea i needed the img.tar to flash it and i had downloaded the zip I got it now. TWRP is installed. Im almost to firekat whooop !!!!:good:

Edit : well that was weird. I downloaded firekat in lik 5 minutes . the filesize was confirmed correct , transfered to the sd card correctly . Flashed and got a boot loop .

Redownloading it and now the download is 2 hrs which is correct as per my dinosaur slow internet.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Check the md5! You can do it in Root Explorer by long press the file and choosing 'properties'. The md5 will generate and then just compare it to the website version.

EDIT: Just a thought, are you on the correct version (NJ7) and clean flashing according to the OP instructions?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Some_dude36:
I dunno , lol I think . I checked the baseband on the stock rom before I did any of this and it was anj7 . I flashed chroot , then twrp . Then attempted to flash the rom but i dont think it downloaded correctly .

so Is there even a rom on the device now ? I nand erase all flashed chroot via odin
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TheTofu:
For as long as I can remember (some 2 years now) google is supposed to have saved your list of access points and restore them(it said so in the Google backup and restore setting) but it has never done that for me. Same with app data, it never restores that either, just installs the app.

Stock kernel indeed. It's the best IMO so far as there hasn't been anything else to prove it otherwise. I'm still waiting for someone else with another custom ROM with or without a custom kernel to break the benchmark this ROM has been able to achieve. (See my sig. - 50,429 AnTuTu! | 26,319 Quad (100% Stock!)

Double tap wise I have that on our S5...cool feature, but it's sticky...doesn't always cooperate.

Ok , for some reason I am soft bricked. I followed the OP I downloaded and successfully installed chroot . Only thing I did different was in Odin I checked nand erase all when I flashed.

Chroot flashed.

Then I flashed TWRP

Booted into twrp

and when I select wipe and check data delvik , system and cache it says failed to mount for all partitions and the wipe says failed.

I did install firekat and the install says successful when finished.

Then I reboot and right where it goes from note 4 boot screen to samsung animation it reboots and loops. No idea what to do . the rom was a new download

Flash chroot and TWRP again or ?

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RaymondPJR:
You may have solved your problem by now. If not, follow the OP explicitly. That means starting from NJ7 firmware and doing a clean flash! Your baseband (radio) could be different whatever the latest radio is, depending on your flashing history.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Some_dude36:
As you can see in the post before you replied I am softbricked.

When you said make sure I am nj7 . Do you mean the stock firmware I started with ??

If so i checked it and it was nj7 before I started this mess.

Also I went right from stock unrooted to firkat . Was I supposed to flash a different rom before firekat ?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Yeah, I was real surprised when it all popped up automatically! Helpful yet creepy!

---------- Post added at 03:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

Yes, but you mentioned the stock baseband not firmware, so I wasn't sure if you had flashed something else before. Are you using the latest version of TWRP? Checked MD5?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Some_dude36:
Im using the version I found in this threads op 2.8.1.1 img.tar
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Did you take that latest OTA from Samsung?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Some_dude36:
No , I took it out of the box , used it for 5 mins then proceeded to root . When I started it was stock OEM firmware 4.4.4 ending in nj7

twrp says cant mount any partitions during the flash or whenever but the whole screen is unable to mount
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RaymondPJR:
That's the correct one. You should be able to get back up and running by Odin flashing stock rooted from the T-Mobile Note 4 thread. First try fixing permissions just in case. I believe you said you deleted your nandroid. If you get back up to stock rooted, I'd take a break.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Some_dude36:
Am I supposed to flash stock rooted first ? lol I never did I rooted it twrp'd it then flashed firekat.
