Some more pictures....vibrant.

Uploading pictures on here doesn't do it much justice, but you can get the idea. When I'm viewing these on my Retina Display on my MBP, it's stunning. I can tell a difference in detail and the fullness of the depth in color.

For example, when zooming all the way in there is less pixelation than it normally would have....this is due to the boost in the amazing camera tweaks on the N4 (Thanks to Mega's magic) to be able to store more data per picture. It almost looks less compressed LOL....Like I'm almost looking at a TIFF vs a compressed JPEG...

The Note 4's camera is the Best I've seen....the sensor is amazing....great glass.....the days for point and shoots are coming to an end....maybe it has....with the N4, I am certain that I wouldn't need to buy a Point and Shoot.

Very impressive.

Lol yea man i have the same annoyance trying to share cool pics on here...the reso just gets butchered lol...awesome post tho the camera is truly amazing on n4 man

Hey megalomaniac 14

I think V3 was nearly perfect. and V4 does seem to have slightly more improvements then V3. all awesome.

However the biggest improvement I've noticed is the battery life witch is close to perfection.

You Sir are a mad scientist. much appreciated.

My note is a little boring cuz I've stuck with the same theme since v1 as I have been more working on improving the rom until v4 so I'm just starting to play with her now lol fun time now the work is done...here's my favorite...my goto n4 theme...she'll really come into her own when we get s5 system toggles unlocked...as I think ours is a little boring lol

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] K4get:
that's a cool background. especially in the winter months. my last phone was htc one max & the one xl before that. I've been using the same template for years. ya i am boring. lol. I sometimes use this wallpaper too.I jacked it from windows 7

anyway thanks again for the awesome work on the Rom. I'll send you a case of beer soon.

Those are some great backgrounds. I'm just starting to decorate my phone. As of right now I haven't even greenified! (On purpose)...I'm blown away how insane the battery life is....right now I'm at 11.5 hours with 65% left! This is nuts! Not even greenified!

I play about an hour of YouTube in the morning on full brightness while getting ready and making/eating breakfast. Everyday.

Then I turn down the brightness to 50-60% for most of the day.

I'm chatting all day with IM+ (plus other chat clients) along with tapatalk. ALL DAY. Emailing up a storm, calls and taking pictures for my work stuff.

I usually game every other day for just a little if I even have time, but on average I'll play a level here and there on 80-100% brightness.

Most of the time I'll plug my N4 into my kitchens speaker while cooking or whatever.

At the end of the day, I consider that pretty heavy use. I'm glued to tapatalk.

This is all just an average day, but with an above average use. (This ain't no, "let's leave our phones alone for the day to see how long my battery lasts." LOL. Anyone can do that. [emoji1] )

And when I do greenify probably in a few days after I have enough data to figure up a good average...the party will start...

*** I do have an extremely refined set up with all the right torque settings for this engine to run super efficient. I don't use battery hogging apps or anything of that nature. I keep my "" super clean. Just the way I like it. [emoji106] ***

Mega, you're a genius.

So to update i have to download the new v4 and update using custom recovery just install on top of my v3 version?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Rinthe:

Since you dont want to help a brother out i found a way lol... J/p

Smooth sailing on v4... Hook it up with a custom kernel an we are golden lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
What baffles my mind is were almost 3000 posts in and people are still too lazy to use the freaking search and simply type in keywords like clean flash dirty flash ect...not too mention somehow fail to read the instructions where I specified do not dirty flash literally with explicit instructions for advanced flash without issues LMFAO. ..then come in here an post the question repeatedly is fkn starting to get on my nerves really fast...guys seriously if your too lazy to even bother searching these common questions that has been covered literally 100 times get out of the development threads and go back to the general or q and a section and stick to stock...i took the time to build the rom and post it thr least people could do is read the op or use the search seriously guys

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Josh McGrath:
Maybe add in bold letters to clean flash every time in your signature? That might stop......... One person lol

Seriously though, I have always dirty flashed most of time. If I have problems, I clean flash before reporting issues or asking questions.. It doesn't take a genius.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Anyway rant over lol...

So I played with the note edge yesterday...gotta say I can't really see the point or benefit of it....super awkward to hold imo esp for right handed people...anyone else played with it? Was anyone actually interested in note edge?

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bighit101:
Updated to V4 but now have issues!!! PLZ Help :(

Thanks in advance for helping me figure this thing out!!!

Ok, I'll make it quick:

Rooted device, installed V2 originally which worked great. Then installed (did not wipe before installing) V3 and that worked great to.

Now Problem started when I tried to install V4. This time I DID do full wipe before installing rom. Problem is that after rebooting 2 times and starting to install my apps again, the Xposed Framework does install. I have tried:

1. different install methods within xposed app but still nothing

2. Installed the app SElinus mode changer, but still nothign

Second, the phone actually is draining battery faster with V4 and getting hot.

I have tried to reinstall V4 and tried to install older version of Xposed (v2.5) but still same issues.

So now i restored it back to my V3 backup...

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Thanks guys!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GatoL0c0:
Yup and then users that say they read the instructions and "did what it said" but say "it didn't work". Then someone posts a screen shot of what the instructions say to do and suddenly everything "works". Irks me to no end when I see that. If you supposedly "read it", then why can't you get it to work?

By now I don't know why people don't take the time to read the OP when flashing any ROM for first time.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] n3gkiwi:
Regarding that s5 clock widget, are those two icons on the top right allow you access the clock / alarm? I assume the other one is for the widget settings?

Lol yea there's so many awesome people in here that's why I try not to say much...

No none of the best buys around me have the edge or the gear s...i saw the edge the other day when I picked up my gear s at att store...then when swapping my sim for a nano yesterday I played with it longer...it's super confusing for me as I can't figure out the point of essentially another home row of icons there lol...i have relatively large hands for my height and played guitar for 15 years and I couldn't properly adjust or compensate idk how anyone would really find it beneficial for the 1000 dollar pride tag lol

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
I have to admit that at first I was all over the edge, then reality settled in.... the design language is pretty cool, but just not practical; yet. It's a good step forward. Instead of a side wrap around, maybe even just a slight top wrap would have been interesting without compromising much.

I have a feeling we're going to see a true edge to edge (left to right) AMOLED screen on the s6. That I'm excited for as I absolutely dislike bezels lol. Wasted precious real estate.

Come early next year, it'd be fun to come back to this post lol.

I grabbed my Note 4 yesterday (upgrade from the S5) and reading through your thread I discovered that you:

1.) Have a massively popular ROM with amazing performance

2.) Have all the questions that excellent ROMs get over and over

So, while I'm not much of a dev, I have four generations of Samsung Galaxy (Touchwiz) experience in troubleshooting and I'd be happy to help out your users who pose good questions in need of answering. I can also provide sarcasm and runaround posts for those who don't search. Hopefully I can be of use. Thanks for offering this great ROM and I look forward to giving it a test drive after I've had my phone out of the box more than 24 hours :D

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Ya see I'm torn on the edge because I love the concept of progress and evolution. ...my beef is rather than evolving in a direction of beneficial they went novel...for instance had they shrunk thr bezels on top and sides while increasing the screen size that would've been a huge plus...or even just like n2 to n3 slightly larger phone but bigger screen ect...the edge not only cuts away from usable screen but is also on a smaller screen to begin with...just confusing seeing how little changed from n3 to n4 yet out so much time and money into the edge which by definition a novelty device...maybe that's the point. ..maybe they're trying to recapture the novelty market that was once the note lineups mainstay....i mean 2 years ago reviewers were laughing at the enormous "hideous sized" notes lol...i mean who would want a 5.5+ inch device?

Kinda random question, but we all know restoring apps via titanium backup isn't good. But what about with rom toolbox? Is it specific to tb?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] force70:
Ive been using it alot more than tibu on my note 3 but havent used it on my n4 yet...been doing it the old school way..clean installs from the play store .given the issues app restores seem to be causing on the n4 i figured its the best way to go.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bjhatch:
Im confused...what's the point of titanium if it's not to be used to reinstall backed up apps?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
There isn't one really...as freezing apps anymore is mute if not counterproductive and restores is Russian roulette with your system...as just evidenced in this thread alone...I've all but quit installing it and when I do it never even gets opened tbh

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tkbredx:
Just curious... Why do you feel that way about freezing apps?

If I freezed a few would you recommend I unfreeze them?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] n3gkiwi:
As per the s5 weather widget, I just switched to the world and weather widget. It has shortcuts to clock and even the calendar. And it's fairly transparent as well.

As per this rom, it's becoming hard to not try it. I've read through many room threads. This one is definitely the most supported I've seen (from not only users but the developer). That really speaks to you Mega. Great job.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Look at this way...85% to 90% of system apps never run unless activated by a user trying to use a function... which only creates problems or holes in the system...but you're not getting anything in return...disabling a few apps in the scheme of a rom pushing 50,000 antutu points with 32GB of storage...what is there to be gained? It's a no win imo...

now years ago it made sense we had hardly any storage space and extremely underpowered hardware...but on the s805 especially running fk v3 or v4 you're only introducing possible issues or limiting features on the note by freezing system apks...now I disable a couple and I list them in the op...several built in google apps and samsung push service...but once you get outside of those few built in user apps there's no real point imo

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Oh I got you...idk I make all my own widgets with zooper and can attach any shortcuts I want to them...as for the rom yea its running pretty well lol I don't think you'll be unhappy by the experience...welcome to thread man

I would like to also add that my 50k was without touching Titanium.

I

used to

freeze Google CRAP, but now I just simply uninstall them completely as they are not worthy to take up any more space on my previous silicon than it needs to. Unfortunately, I keep Gmail on there, but that's it! Google is like cockroaches.....

Sucks because I bought the Titanium PRO back in the day.....it's not the amount as it is chump change, but sucks because Titanium is pretty much useless for me now. LOL. I may just uninstall it all together. I wish I can gift it to some N3 guys or something haha....

V4 is absolutely amazing. I'm still wow'ed by it everyday.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] AlkaliV2:
So I just wanted to go ahead and address this since I have encountered it pretty frequently in my time helping other users. The idea with any and all backup programs (Titanium Backup, Rom Toolbox, Android Tuner, etc.) they are there to assist you in saving time, not restoring stability to your system. Here's why:

When you clean install an app and start fresh with a Play Store download all that data is created new and built for the ROM it is running on. Android uses system permissions and several other OS specific pieces of information (e.g. symlinks) to keep track of and find files quickly. If you want to know what happens otherwise, just look at your internal SD card. The folder stored there called, "Android" keeps your app data along several ROM installs constantly overwriting the old information with the new. This is really only bad after several ROM updates and installs where it is overwriting the same file on the disk over and over. So when you reinstall something from Titanium backup and it goes to restore it, your newly installed OS has to check the old information for accuracy, create the a new file if necessary, and ultimately overwrite that file if it isn't going to use it. This is less than optimal and can create instability when restoring from Titanium Backup or any app restoration programs. Imagine every single program restored from your SD card and your new and updated apps constantly having to check the date, permissions, and file information for each and every folder that already exists because of backups. It isn't nearly as fast as the file just being written new by your programs on a clean install. That is why several people on the forum (including myself) are advocates of only restoring your necessary applications that have information that you can't afford to lose. This even includes SMS and MMS backups which sometimes with Android Tuner does not go as planned and impacts the performance of the application even being able to launch.

TL;DR:

Starting clean and restoring only a FEW (read: critical) apps will provide better write speeds, a more reliable system, and better overall performance than restoring your applications from backup apps like TiBu, Rom Toolbox, Android Tuner, etc.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lmao yea I'm in the same boat...im sure most of us early adopters of tb are...thats why everytime I flash I'm a bit torn if i bother installing it or not...knowing I'm not gonna use it but have paid for it...tough call lol

Yea that was an accident too lol...passed out without putting it on the charger lol thankfully it dropped a whole like 1% in 15 hours lol

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Well not all the time...since I pretty much only charge it over night then you don't wanna leave your note on the charger with fast charger on...your pushing like 9 amps thru it constantly vs the standard 2 amps so i pretty much never use it...i did on stock when I needed bump charging but now there's no point...unfortunately samsung decided rapid charging was better than optimizing the build to give more than 3 hours of use a charge lol

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] AlkaliV2:
Thanks. There are definitely people who take up different sides of the argument, but I learned from the CM11 builds on the S5 that Android definitely cares which version of Android the file was made on.

On a side note, I definitely didn't make it 24-hours and I've flashed Firekat version 4. It is buttery smooth just like you said and really a complete build. You clearly put a lot of thought into this build and I love what I'm seeing so far. Also, thank you for adding in busybox so the init.d folder is active. There are a few tweaks I like to pass at boot and your tweaks enable it. :good:
