Whoa that's weird lol this literally just arrived today...picked this up brand new for 220 lol figured I'd mess with it and rebuild it into something sick...i cannot fathom why they dropped the screen size...baffling?

Added: after messing with the g flex for an hour or so I gotta say...im pretty impressed even stock it's pretty quick ect...for the money once I get fk on it damn it'll be a great setup tbh

Yea it's really weird to me that we raced to 6 inch devices yet now the specs have caught up there's no decent option but 1 company that has historically minimal development which tbh I'm not worried about if I can get a rom on the device i only need 1...my own so that changes how I buy devices a little tbh

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
...yea dude so dirty. ...i rarely have a reason to go into Google settings I just happened to because I figured something had to have changed...now they have like dupe settings and stuff it's stupid

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No...the system apks I won't touch becuase google has them tied into the system to stop you from doing this...i turned off in app manager these...and plan on shutting gnow off but have to finalize some data

Hi, it's a great ROM no doubt about it. Thanx for the effort. I just have one question/complain I'm not sure if that's mentioned before. Everytime I launch the camera, it takes forever to get focus. Sometimes I've to force close it, relaunch it to get focus.

Any suggestions?

That's one cool thing about CM+GAPPS. You don't even have to install any of those apps, at all.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
Ohh so all the apps from the OP2. I thought you meant that you'll shut off all google apps expect for the selected 4 you mentioned, my mistake and thanks for sharing :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea man I'm loving my n4 undoubtedly...but I'll be honest the one thing it didn't do for me was scratch that itch for something new or different...coming from my note 3 it's the best Android device ever but it's very similar so that's more or less why I'm ordering the mediapad x2...not to necessarily replace my n4 but more like a mini tab the way I use my mega most of the time at home and carry n4

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
As long as you don't leave the Note 4 mega!:eek: it's the bestest device and you have a proud community supporting your work!! :D
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
You still have google services and framework in cm...

i could remove the apks from the build and force user to download them but you lose some functionality that way and tbh it doesn't make sense to since so many people do use them that use my roms...

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Hopefully you forgot to take the little plastic covering off the back...otherwise the other 4 I've seen have this issue...Unfortunately we're hw issues with their sensor they ended up swapping their notes out...

Lol def not ditching my n4 lmao no worries [emoji106] dev will continue and don't get me wrong I'm loving my n4...but i cant lie and say I don't wish they gave me a larger option that 5.7 2 years in a row...instead of a crappy neo option why not a XXL option in the mid 6 inch range...then I wouldn't be considering Chinese phones for toys lol

great video app

http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.datanasov.popupvideo

I just found this. It works well. See note regarding dev recommending installing from Playstore. You do not need Xposed to use it. If you do have Xposed, it enables cool features. I've been looking for a video player that does this..

Hahaha...no way...G flex.220 new thats a steal...id buy one too just for fun at that price

The BL is locked on that thing no? I always liked the orig flex...just not the 32g of int only storage it has lol.

sent from Canada via my Note 4, 3, 2 or S3
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol yea i didnt say anything as its more or less a toy and was an off the cuff buy during the snow in last week lol...I'm still investigating tbh lol...i just pulled the root kit and working on kitting it out...tbh at 220 brand new I didn't even think about it lol...i just bought it and like the x2 figured I roll with it for what my use is...mainly a toy like you said... something different...something new to work on...but it's actually turning out to be a pretty amazing device tbh esp for 220 I mean its last year's flash ship lol...it's n3 hw with 3500 maph battery...i ended up with the Japanese one with the TV antennae lol

Yes for sure 32gb is not enough when you have no ext sd

Class 10 by chance?...

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tkbredx:
I understand the love for removable batteries. I've only bought phones with those since I got the Palm Pre in 09.

However what do you guys like so much about the SD card slot? With the cloud backing up everything, I could honestly get a 32 GB and I'd be satisfied. As somewhat of a Sammy fan boy I always hyped up my need for a micro SD card but now it's kind of unnecessary for me. I stream my music and videos, and back up my photos and documents.

I've always been an S man. I just happened to get the Note 4 cause it was the latest device and it looked amazing and it is amazing. However I don't use the S Pen that much and the S6 screen size is just perfect. Not too big. Not too small. Anything bigger than a note 4 is too big for me.

I think I'm gonna try the S6 edge out. Knowing me I'll probably come right back to a FKN4. Lol. But I think the S6E is worth a chance.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Well for me it's simple...it's far faster, simpler, and more reliable than cloud...I have about a dozen 32gb Samsung class 6 SD cards...each has my collection of like 8500 to 10000 songs, full bond movies, top gear UK episodes, hundreds of songs I wrote in s note, 1000 hd wallpapers ect...1000s of pics....and in like 20 seconds I can transfer that data to a new device, recover photos to a device ect...cloud is fine as a last resort but when traveling, when roaming on data, or just in general SD makes sense...

Put it like this...it's basically the same as asking...I get why you like external hard drives to backup roms music ect on your pc but why not rely on Google drive? imo what's technically possible isn't the same as what's better or makes more sense...especially since different people use these super powerful devices in so many different ways...you simply can't stream your way around massive game sizes ect... and this is all discounting your Internet/data speeds which will drastically Impact the reliability of getting your data especially say here tonight we're having a snow storm what if I need my data and no Internet or spotty service ect you know what I mean...??

Logically it just doesn't make sense to remove a key feature of the device...then again they stripped waterproofing and battery size lol so apparently they're not too key lol...all round I'd say the s5 is a better device but for the kitch factor if you want dual edge...so I get for your use case it may or may not matter...but across just this fk thread I'm sure 99% of use have and use sd cards...it's a deal breaker for me unless I had 64gb

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] notufatjesus:
Never want to depend on "cloud" to hold all your sensitive information. Forgetting a password, internet going down, or a site being hacked could cost us....thats to say the least. I always been a fan of changeable SD. Faster to access files, pictures, videos, music, etc. Always good to have a hard copy to put it in a different phone, or access it on a computer, kiosk at the store to print pictures, ...list goes on and on. Cloud storage is good, just think SD is better. Expand memory on the go! Plus, not having a removable battery??????

That way the NSA or government can track your location? Or what happens when your phone freezes and you need to pull the battery out? Or if you have and extra battery on hand you need to swap? Idk. Samsung did a poor job on that. I rather keep my Note 4. Bigger screen....bigger is the new better.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Tbh I'm scared of cloud storage...because it's completely 100% out of my control...I have no way to know if it'll be there the next time I log on...I've gone thru 2 complete losses in my dev career where 2 servers died and the host had no backup....thankfully I had saved all my roms...but if I had relied on the servers vs my external hd and sd cards I would be missing like 70 of my builds right now...that I ended up having to reupload like 40 of of several months...so to say I'm skeptical an hesitant of cloud storage is almost an understatement lol

So does svoice work with screen off? Or does it randomly stop working like in stock?

Curious because I had huge issues on stock and I got svoice disabled ATM on the rom
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
It should work fine...but tbh I don't use it either...I've always found voice commands to be spotty at best...I use voice typing rarely...and occasionally use the voice shutter capture in the camera...but I always keep listening constantly for s voice and gnow turned off...sorta funnily enough I used to have gnow always on onmy n12 but found it triggered randomly over the oddest things lol and wouldn't half the time I actually wanted it to so I said screw it lol...but if you try s voice let me know if it's better or not I have no clue honestly...I just know several guys do use it especially in car mode pretty consistently from their feedback

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
Its on Page #1001 and Post #10009, FormerIphoney posted a picture of his lockscreen and screen setup, looks gorgeous! I know you have added the pictures into google drive so Ill be looking for it :) I still have not looked into how to install these lockscreens (Because I just been letting my phone settle the last few days and 3-4 full cycle charges before I start playing with it), if I need Nova launcher or something else, etc, since I really like the way touchwiz looks and feels! I hope that when I do start searching the thread about how to install these custom lockscreens and customize the the phone, backgrounds (like you did in all your settings with a background picture, etc) it does not affect any of your tweaks, battery life (Im paranoid ... I know lol)! Also, with all this customization, does FireKat eventually start slowing down like stock note 4 did after like 2-4 weeks or as long as you keep it clean (transfer pics,data, etc to external SD card, follow OP 2, maybe eventually use setCPU to boost performance) it should always stay blazing fast? :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No it shouldn't slow down unless a funky update or new app bogs down the system...it actually speeds up over 4 or 5 days then hits that point and stays pretty much stable...I typically get into a groove of personally only flashing ever other update once we get to this point because my setup runs the same speed and battery life almost identically for weeks at a time so on each device...once I've gotten the builds this optimized I usually flash every month or so and that's just habit/testing new changes or mods not really for my setup...

where stock dies after 3 days fk is only really getting settled in lol I've actually never run one of my builds to where they get laggy. ..and my note 8 has had the same v4 build for 9 months on it and I use it every night going to bed...and it runs essentially like it did when I first flashed and settled in the build the...just for context

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
I see! So then there is no point of flashing every so often for us regular users since were not testing/developing anything, just enjoying this masterpiece that you have created! Thanks Mega :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Oh no by no means is it necessary to flash every update...each once does have some pretty decent improvements over the previous build up until this point...but from here out till lollipop the enhancements and improvements will probably be minimal as there really isn't much else to get outta this base imo...

Just an example...most fkn3 users flash every few builds as they'll settle into a build and run it for several weeks then go to the next and the next...as it's not like theres but fixes or stability changes...all updates since v3 and all on ank4 have been improvements over the previous build...no stability changes whatsoever as that's always the first thing I nail down...then performance and efficiency as its a balance/give and take

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tauzins:
Yea I'll test it out, thanks for the push to root, I thoroughly enjoy this ROM atm
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:

Welp, yup it starts to stop working after a little while I don't get why svoice suvks so badly lol, guess I'm disabling it
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Gave it the old college try lol...idk how so many guys use s voice tbh esp if it stops working? lol...jw what stops or what happens when you say it stops? Force close or just no reaction to voice prompt?

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
Oh thanks for the information! I guess the only time it's important to reboot is:

-during clean flashing procedures

-applications that ask you to reboot after update/customization like superSU, adaway, xposed or Wanam customization

-flashing Some sort of a fix via twrp/flashing

So I guess it's not necessary to reboot after xposed module update or selection unless it's asking for a reboot/soft reboot or play store app updates?

Thanks :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol thats way more reductive and technical than I was meaning lol...while true you must reboot for the above...

A lot of people reboot daily since on stock and a lot of roms you have to reboot daily for xyz reasons...I reboot my devices on fk like once every 4 or 5 days for context just to keep things clean and smooth after my setup is done when I would have to do most of the those reboots you list ect

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tauzins:
Pretty much the screen off OK google wake stops working and anywhere OK google fails to work when u have svoice enabled, if I turn it off OK google is fine just no wake from sleep
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
Oh okay! So rebooting is not necessarily a bad thing just that on your builds following OP1-2, daily reboots are not necessary but aren't harmful if you choose to reboot for any reason. I remember from the previous nights post, when you explained that FireKat should not ever slow down/become laggy if followed OP1-2 and optimized, but a reboot from time to time will keep your ROM smooth now that you mentioned it. I

Once a week I turn off my phone when battery is 5% or dead, and let it charge fully while it's off. Not sure if it does anything beneficial but I feel my ROM is more smooth for the next couple of days :) Thanks Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
S voice doesn't have a wake from sleep function...make sure you toggle the always listening on in gnow...gnow voice wake works perfectly on fk...a lot of people use Google voice

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea that's exactly it...theres nothing wrong or harmful with a reboot...but i find i only need to do it once or so a week to keep things running smooth and super fast on fk

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tauzins:
Well the svoice adds in wake from sleep, its weird because it works for like a couple mins then stops oh well, no biggy, however sprint note 4 just got lollipop so I'm guessing T-Mobile getting it soon, shall we be expecting a lolifire? Lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
Beauty! Thanks Mega! I guess I may ask, any precautions to the new lollipop update that is supposed to come out? I don't want it to update my phone silently as an OTA and find out my phone is de-rooted and cannot go back :/
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
My suggestion...DO NOT TAKE IT UNTIL WE KNOW WHAT LIMITATIONS IT HAS...we'll need root and twrp before I'd even consider taking it personally as so little has changed its not worth jumping into another crap stock situation...I'll be waiting a while before it goes on my note...not until I have all info and know the situation

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
No I understand that, I'm just wondering can they push OTA updates without you accepting or is there a way I can disable something to not have those updates come through, that's what I was worried about :p
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RaymondPJR:
That's been the case since Samsung released NK4! On the previous build it was flawless!

Oh! I did not have TB installed because of all the negative things people are getting with it! From reading the forum, in general TB is okay to use only if we're using it to freeze apps I guess. I Wil freeze it, hopefully no issues will arise after its done! :)

Non-ROM specific question for the community...any mods that improve bluetooth headset performance? I have tried a few different models, I have Viper4Android installed, etc and while it's not bad it is also just not that good. Love to hear any tricks to improve call quality. Thanks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
It may be possible to mod it...I just don't touch it...so next to the boosted and tweaked sound from speaker and earpiece...stock quality ans volume prolly doesn't sound right lol. ..I just was weary of tampering with any interconnected audio with a mic as the commands must be balanced or you get feedback etc...may be possible but other than how I mod it at system level and mixer path idk of any other mods
