Has anyone seen this new s pen samsung is releasing? The note 4 compatible advanced s pen ? How much more accurate or sensitive could it get? Lol and why not simply optimize their roms vs hawk another 50 dollar accessory to people lol?

Ive been up too long . Just read the post and I must say you couldnt be more correct " if it aint broke" dont fix it .
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MachinePower:
I did not wipe anything yesterday! Maybe that will fix it. I still have your instructions from yesterday printed out so I'll go back through and do the exact same thing by uninstalling exposed checking to make sure there's no residual files and then after that I'll go in and wipe the two things you mentioned in the post above. Then I'll try to reinstall the fresh apk from the link maybe that'll get it. I'll report back soon as I'm done if I got anything wrong just reply and let me know
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea try the method from yesterday with wiping dalvik and cache...then install...if not go back with it installed and do the same...if done properly it's the ultimate fix pretty much

So I know this is not this rom's issue per say, but I was hoping someone could help . My keyboard/typing it still acting up. I reverted back to stock using ODIN. I downloaded latest firmware from sammmobile. I put into PDA, restored it. Then even factory wiped it. I still keep having this issue. Shouldn't this work?

I shouldn't have to reinstall my stock kernel or anything else do i?

Would appreciate any help. Only thing I did was install was v4 of this rom and twistedumbrella's kernel. Perhaps it's my phone. The typing is brutal though. It duplicates words and lags even when deleting (no matter what program / what keyboard I use...).
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MachinePower:
No luck. Getting frustrated lol. Time to walk away from the phone. At this point I've spent so long trying to get this to work I might as well just do a complete clean reinstall of version 4. It worked when I initially installed V4 and since I don't think the xposed framework support guys are as active in their threads as you are it could be days before I get a response. I'll probably just do clean reinstall.

I definitely like wanam, youtube adAway and a few others but the main thing I'm needing is multiwindow mod options. Before I take a couple hours to reflash and redo my setup is there any other ways you know of to mod multiwindow?

thanks again bro. Ready to move on from this subject and get back to the fun stuff!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Wait it worked when you first flashed? So what happened that made it stop?...i would for sure do do a clean flash...if it worked then stopped you have system issues that need sorted as theirs fragmenting somewhere from leftover mods...i didn't know it ever worked and was installed properly on a clean flash...

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Just go back and flash the new v4 for Canadian note 4 and follow those instructions...chasing your tail is endless because there is no way with such little information to tell you what you've got in your setup that's causing the issue tbh. ..i gave you the guides to work with that would sort any system based/rom side if it was a rom issue with proper base and proper clean flash following the op instructions. ..yet it continues so its something in your setup one way or another man...I'd use the kernel free v4 and start fresh....and so try and use another kernel like I suggested before

Is this the stock Samsung Keyboard? Have you tried others to test if they do the same? Did you update the language settings and double check kb settings?

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] n3gkiwi:
Thing is I don't think it is your rom. I am back to stock and have nothing installed (no new apps or anything) and it has this problem.. It's just very odd because it never did this before. I notice how much faster everything else was on your rom though (scrolling, camera, switching apps....). I want to go back but this typing lag / stutter is stopping that. It's definitely my phone as I am back on stock.

Flashing stock firmware with odin should revert everything (kernel, modem...) all back to stock correct? There should be no remnants of this rom or that kernel. I am just trying to eliminate everything to see if it is a hardware issue.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yes exactly...yea odin flashing will reset you back to stock...i know the lag your talking about with the kb on stock...but it should Deb be gone in the rom...that gets boosted with the rest of the rendering speed boosts...is your touchscreen response on v4 extremely fast?...as all things considered if that persists on v4 clean flash with no mods following op/op2 instructions I'm inclined to agree it could be the phone...but if touch response elsewhe re is fast the kb should be as well...def confused lol

Its like saying my ferrari with nitrous is slow off the line lol something def not right somewhere lol

FireKat ROM, has been a game changer. Whereas before custom kernels would be beneficial in a lot of ways, we already have all the benefits on the stock kernel which is plentiful. You'll be most stable on a stock kernel so in your case, stay stock. Even as a power user like myself and many others, there's nothing a custom kernel can do that we aren't already experiencing with real world use. There is absolutely no need to venture off to another kernel, because with how powerful and efficient it already is, that'd just be downgrading in my opinion. Yes, oxymoron I know...but true. (w/ only some exceptions like the fellow Canadian variants.) [emoji106]

I've said it many times before, I have yet to see any ROM with or without a custom kernel break 50k. Period. That's pretty darn awesome and just shows that a custom kernel for this ROM is unnecessary.

Times change...great change with FireKat that is....I've never experienced this awesomeness with a ROM before in all my ROM days.

#1 ROM + peace of mind of stock kernel + 50k benchmark with stock kernel + no cpu apps = Dream come true to have a highly fine tuned all motor car schooling any force induction car. Owned.

OH and INCREDIBLE BATTERY LIFE! This was yesterday with heavy use....(I'll say it again, this 'ain't' no "lets keep our phones off on standby the whole day to see how much battery life we can squeeze out of the NOTE 4 LOL! This is REAL WORLD FREAKIN' USE! ROFL.)

6 hours 31 minutes of screen time yesterday!

You're right about your rom speeding up. After couple days things were flying. Being back on stock is noticeable.

Yeah there is definitely touchwiz lag, but this keyboard issue is weird. I think it's hardware or maybe my screen. I'm trying to do a process of elimination. I just did a weird test using S Note. It will occasionally skip my finger swipes and lag (I just do like tally marks while painting). Any suggestions or links on how to test the touch screen completely?

For a technical test not really...but your doing what I would do...honestly if your screen isn't recognizing touches properly...then having faster response time could exaggerate what you notice...like expecting it to be this fast and not responding....i would do what your doing...do like quick swipes, random swipes, patterns, with pen and without ect. ...and see...if making contact you should see dots where your finger marked s note...

At least I'm on the right track. Clearly this isn't yours rom's issue Mega. As tempting as I am just to go back to it for the responsiveness, clearly I have some phone issues.

Can anyone explain why it duplicates text?

For example I will type: "I am testing this keyboard" it will write "i am I am testing this keyboard".

That seems like a software issue, but I have reverted back to stock almost three times now.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
You've created a monster ROM! LOL..

Oh btw, I'm super interested in the new S pen. Neat stuff eh? As for the R&D putting more money into the Note 4, I agree in the sense of hardware, but software wise, that's why we have you! With this whole new religious experience with FireKat (ROFL) it has brought the ROM experience to a whole new level where I would miss being able to upgrade my software.... oppose to being stuck with an OS out of the box :( That'd be one sad day haha...L5.0+? :confused:

Maybe that's what Samsung knows so they're like...ehh....let's spend this over here on a watch (gear) since we know Mega will take care of the software side of it LOL! I'm positive they are fully aware of XDA. :good:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gregma:
Are you sure about that Mega? From what I've seen, this new "advanced SPen" is actually the SPen that was released with the Note4. Sorry, Note 4 fans, there’s probably not a new S Pen about to land

Is there somewhere else that says different?

Thanks!

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I'm not at all lmao. ..but when I read the ad It says note 4 compatible and is an aftermarket accessory that's why I was like wait what? it seems like a promo for an actual product but I'm not sure at all lol

Mega

What's messed up is they announced the note 4 as if these functions were already included...so they're either bullsh*tting us when we bought it as we need the new sdk to activate those features...or are bsn us now and really are dropping a new pen. ..either way it doesn't make sense to me what the hell they're doing lmao
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No I mean any dynamic learning keyboard will have teething issues and you probably need to update the language packs in samsung kb settings...but the double typing and especially lag or hesitation is def a problem if it happens on firekat esp v4 which is by far the fastest rendering rom I've done to date...the double typing isn't really a big deal as you can just shut off Autocorrect but there shouldn't be any lag anywhere in the rom...minus a couple apps that still have rendering problems but I can't control that

I tested the battery life on this rom, fwiw I got the same (great)results as stock. I suppose the animations are a bit smoother on firekat though.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PlatinumNick:
And what type of results is that?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
Give it a few days to settle in. It should be way better than stock or somethings not right. I've gained ~50% ...yes fifty percent. Amazing stuff..

It all depends on your personal set up too.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] 2ndammendment:
2.7 days with 5hrs SOT(stock, non rooted. Got the same result with firekat). Testing Rapture next, then maybe the AEL kernel(was getting some random reboots when I tried it last). I got about a 30% increase in battery life on my S4 when I switched to a custom rom/kernel, so far I'm not seeing any battery life improvements over stock. Maybe i didn't see any gains because I already disabled as much bloat as I could through the stock applications manager? I'll do a clean install and run the endurance test again.

Also I did clean installs of firekat and rapture followed by some extensive app opening speed tests. They were within a second of each other at the end of the tests so good performance on both. Wish I wouldn't have tested the app opening speed while I was stock so I could compare.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Soemthing wrong lol if you haven't got the battery or speed gains...on a rom with appx 50% increase in battery and 50,000 antutu score...with an average of 48,500 to 49000...check your setup lol...a dude posted 9 hours screen on just today lol...i get 2 days plus 5 hours screen on with my cpu clocked at 1400 ghz even during sleep. ....Battery life Is a standard dude your apps dictate the drain you get... .follow op and op2...enjoy

Battery life is a standard...use the search and read op2

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] 2ndammendment:
You said a 50% increase(is that percentage points or percent increase?)but I was curious what the standby time to screen on ratio was. It sounds like you weren't getting great results while stock where as I am. My stock results are as good as your results on firekat. And switching to firekat didn't make my battery life any better or any worse. If I also got a 50% increase then that would mean I would be getting almost 6 days with 10 hours of on screen time which obviously isn't going to happen. :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
I think it's a little better than stock? :D Just a tiny bit. Is 50K good on the stock kernel with no cpu apps? Hehehehe
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
As I've stated, it all depends on the set up and user habits. I'm a heavy user....so I'm not going to expect 1000hours of screen time on a full charge. On stock (due to my usage and habits) I was getting 2.5-3hours of screen time on a full charge IF I was lucky. Now I get 5+ hours easy. Lately, it keeps on getting better so the settle in period may have took just a few more days to iron out....but now I'm hitting 6+ hours of screen time on a full charge with some gas left. For my use, this is insane and NOT POSSIBLE with stock.

The ones that know me here know that I am OCD....I have 5, Note 4's around everyday in my house and I have done some extensive real world testing and have seen real results with my own eyes. Bottom line is, I know what I was getting stock....and I know what I'm getting now. 6+ Hours SCREEN TIME. :good:

Have you seen my recent post? Here.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Dude are you serious? Or do you not know what 5 hours screen on with a min 1400ghz clock speed means?

And yes...actually people are getting 9 hours screen on time like i just freaking posted to you before if you'd actually read my posts before pitching your 2 cents in....a dude posted 9 hour screem on today like i just said...

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] 2ndammendment:
It not only depends on ones usage but also apps etc. Battery life results on the Note 4 seem to be very inconsistent. I've seen people hit almost 10 hours of SOT while web browsing, texting etc but some others struggle to get more than 3 hours of screen on time.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
Screen shots?

If you've noticed on here in this community it's all about screen shots. Anyone can say anything, but the proof is in the pudding. There are more than one person who all are experiencing crazy battery life and when I say crazy I mean roughly minimum of 30% to an average of 50% increase.

Therefore, when the majority is all agreeing on one thing...and if you're not getting that, this obviously means that it's not the ROM, but may be your set up/apps etc...

* When I said set up, I meant apps/habits/etc.... I didn't think I needed to clarify this. :)

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] 2ndammendment:
I assure you that I'm reading all your posts. If you take the time to read mine though I said 10 hours of screen on time with 6 days of usage, that's not realistic. Your screen on time also depends on how much your device sits idle. I could get a week of up time off the charger if I only kept the screen on for 2 hours.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Ok dude maybe you should stick with stock

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
That's obvious, so please help me understand your point? So you were getting roughly 1.7 hours a day throughout the 6 days? This means that you don't use your phone much.

Man I'm lost...yet I'm going to try and help you ...

Re Odin.....go back to square one.

Then follow the OP1 and OP2 to a T.

Let the ROM settle in for a week. Then come back and let us know....

Again, as a friendly reminder, when 99.9% of the people are all satisfied and have proven results with SCREEN SHOTS; by you posting what you did doesn't do much justice because you should have at the very beginning post screen shots of stock vs this ROM and have been a little more detailed.... That's like me buying a hybrid that has an MPG of 50 and going on a forum and claiming that my v8 Truck gets just as good MPG as my hybrid. The point is.... it must be your set up if you are not seeing any gains. There's no way as evidenced by the users of this ROM that you're stock is on par with this ROM LOL....

Screen shots?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] 2ndammendment:
Understood. This was all stock except some disabled apps though the stock app manager. Brightness was on auto. I achieved the same great results with firekat. No power saving and no airplane mode etc.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
This doesnt matter post the screen on time. ..my standby time loses 1% every 9 hours....i have more than 1 screen shot of massive standby times screen on is all that matters as that shows the efficiency

Also post your wake lock Detector page...

Apologies. Forgot to add it. I edited the post. I didnt take any screen shots from wake lock detector unfortunately. I will redo my endurance testing and make sure to gather more data.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Dude you should easily be able to crush that...esp with you being a pretty light user... if you properly flash v4 and follow my op2... i get almost identical to what you get plus or minus the standby time just because I charge it every other night even if 50% left...but here's the difference in what were tying to explain man...i get those batteries with my note cpu set like this even when sleeping and full brightness while you're having to use conservative performance save governor and lowest possible clock to even match it...you will see a huge increase guaranteed if you follow the proper method i laid out in op/op2 and let the rom settle as noted over a few days to calibrate..as reference by the thousands of people currently benefiting the same...your battery isn't bad...but it can def be much better plus your not stuck on the slow laggy crap stock rom but you have the info your call bro...enjoy

Honestly comparing your setup on stock to mine on v4 is like saying my ford focus gets the same mpg as your ferrari...lol good luck man enjoy whatever toy decide

Hi megalomanic, does your ROM have the option to remove the Quick Settings toggles from the Notification Pulldown?

I see that you've added the capability of adding toggles, but no mention of removing them alltogether?

Tweaked ROM for Note 3 has this option and it's great! I'm hoping to find an N4 ROM that will have it also.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] 2ndammendment:
Understood. As I said I will rerun my endurance test after I'm done testing some other roms as well. If I can improve on my great battery life even further than that would be great. The increase in animation smoothness was welcome. I don't expect anything close to the 50% increase you achieved but if I get a 30% improvement like I did on my S4 then I will be more than pleased.

Just one final question. Would you consider adding a script of some sort to restore the stock volume levels for those who are more sensitive to distortion? I remember back on the s4 most rom makers included a flashable script to restore the volume to stock levels. I know I can just turn it down but I often find myself increasing the volume too much by mistake. Thank you for your time.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] CZ Eddie:
Are you talking about the ReGM module? That doesn't seem to work any longer and even when it did, it was flakey. Would randomly let them come back or other items in the pulldown would stack up on top of each other. A fugly random mess.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
re: screen on time

Yes habits mean a lot, but screen on time at different brightness

levels also have a direct effect and impact on screen on time too.

There should be some kind of app at the play store which

has a more accurate way of testing screen on time than the

battery screen shots we all have posted in these rom threads.

Just my personal opinion about testing screen on time.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
The brightness def affects the screen on in a significant way which is why I always give the battery minimums at full brightness....esp on n4 as bright and dense as the amoled is...and from watching the variances it looks like autobrightness is a significant difference over a set point on the slider...which makes sense considering the ambient sensor is constantly fluctuating and adjusting the screen dynamically...i totally wish that app existed as well man...I've always wanted an app that would ballpark screen on times based on battery stats history, battery capacity, and brightness...evem plus or minus 30 mins would be a cool app...but the stock battery stats "app"/page is pretty accurate once calibrated after a flash ime
