Well, after several months on 5.0/Poprocks on my N910W8, and after finding I couldn't live without the benefits of Xposed/Wanam, I finally did what I should have done weeks ago - Odin'ed back to Canadian 4.4 A0A1 firmware, and then installed FireKat 13x. The difference in battery life is surprisingly large (in KK/FireKat's favour, of course.) I've also decided that both Google and Samsung are on paths sharply diverging from my own interests - Google by increasingly locking down customizability, and Samsung by removing features that I value in newer models like the S6 and Note 5. Assuming all the advance info about feature removal is correct about the Note 5, there's no way I would "upgrade" to it from my Note 4. I use the IR emitter and I've invested over $100 in a microSD card. So, I'm off the "new phone once a year" treadmill and I'm staying put with my Note 4 and FK for the foreseeable future. The way things are looking, I won't be buying another Samsung whenever it's finally time to move on from the Note 4.

Hi,maybe a stupid question but i have a n910f and i see in the second post that i must have ank5 base but i can't find this base all are ank4. What must i do?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Find the proper ank5 base lol...Use sammobile or live samsung updates to pull the base and you should be good

Sorry to say fellas...it looked like my buddy was playing with the official device after all last week...sucks for those of us holding out but the official device is leaked everywhere...note 4 clone with a different back...32gb with 23 gb usable storage and no sd with no removable battery, no ir remote listed, no usb c or even usb 3...feels like they were trying to do the least possible rush job thinking slapping glass on the note 4 was gonna be the way to go for a device of functionality originally bought and marketed toward business people and power users...Shame samsung is screwing the best device range in the android world over and literally stripping it down to be like every other generic phone out..i guess I'll be picking up a black note 4 next week lol...ans for the money I can save I'll almost be able to get a 2nd n4 AND another device for the cost of what a 64 or easily 128gb would cost...smh

Hopefully the new huawei devices mate 8 or nexus 2016, lg g pro 3 or g4 pro, moto x 2016 all look way better imo for the money...

Here's the n5 stock wallpaper lol

Well, Mr. Mega I am getting a used Note 4 today for about 370 extra battery cases etc... It is already rooted and actually running a rom.

What is the best way to get on the Kat? lol... It's been awhile and I have been used to SS. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gun26:
Agree 100%, I'm staying on the Note 4 for a year longer, give or take. I don't think it will fall behind the state of the art, performance wise, until at least then, and maybe even beyond. Add to the Note 5's deficiencies that you mentioned the non-removeable battery. I imagine the original battery in my Note 4, which is sitll holding up well, will weaken enough while I still have the phone to require replacement. No way I would ever want to melt hot glue joints and fool around with a spudger just to replace a battery. I predict that a year from now, I'll have a bunch of reasonably priced Chinese makes like Oppo, Huawei, Xiaomi and others to choose from as a Note 4 replacement. Since Samsung seems to be vacating the "power user's phone" position to make an Iphone 6+-wannabe with the Note 5, I'm sure those newer manufacturers will step up to fill the void in the market.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Awesome dude you're def gonna love it...just odin ank4 then and wipe the device clean then run thru the op and you should be good to go...no need for safe strap on tmo the beauty of unlocked boots lol enjoy bro

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
100% agreed and that's what I'm actually the most excited to see...if they're gonna bail on giving the power users a beast...it's only a matter of time...hell even the nexus 6 is 6 inches lol samsung just lost the mark

I bought a new n4 battery and it def added some more juice to my normal charge...but it's insulting to consider paying 800 for the n5 then another 100 or whatever to have it official replace the battery to keep warranty...

I had good luck on swappa.Com. got mine Friday and it was on the official lollipop. Friday night I had firekat setup and rocking (granted I previously had a 910t on Firekat so I'd been through the process a few times). Picked mine up for $410 and it seems flawless. Came with an otterbox and all, new, accessories. Ordered a new battery on amazon for $15 just cause I want max life.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
That a bummer.. but its worth finding a good one... were gonna be relying on a N4 unless Samsung pull their heads out or some other company came thru... I'm Prolly gonna be getting a black N4 instead of a N5

I recommend the black. The screen actually looks better with a black surround because your eyes notice the contrast. That is one thing nexus devices get right. Even on white or red phones, they use a black front.

Yes. Flash back to ank4 and follow the original directions. Deviations cause odd issues. For example, I wiped internal after flashing back to ank4 and could not save to internal after flashing firekat. A reflash of ank4 and continuing back through the process fixed it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sultan.of.swing:
ODIN'd back to ANK4. stuck in a bootloop.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Simplyeduardo:
Clear cache and if possible internal unless you use it in recovery and you should be good. Im exited for firekat v14 :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sultan.of.swing:
I literally just got done doing that and it booted right up.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Just a couple things to make sure... USB debugging is enabled, you want to wipe your internal storage I recommend the factory reset option under storage settings... Make sure the drivers are properly installed on your computer and Odin 3.09 you should be good to go

Disable reactivation lock as well...few basics odin reminders in case

[MENTION=2595499]iunlock[/MENTION]

Hey bro I agree with some of your points and a lot of the points are true...if the battery and sd were there given same size again I'd consider it...but a few people have mentioned 4100 maph battery would justify no removable and while possibly true with a rom...most people that have used it like my buddy say it's 3000 mah. 220 smaller than n4

My issue was...given our n4 battery where would they fit another 800 maph larger battery in a physically smaller case? That and the 800 dollar 32gb no sd price...or 1000 128 gb for anyone without unlimited data...I hate using the cloud because when I actually want it...it's useless...on vacation at my dads beach housd or in a plane/traveling etc...it's literally why I store everything on sd so when I need it...boom it's there...from someone reliant with over a dozen cards I have so much data I would have to literally pay for cloud storage given the amount needed lol Not my favorites prospect vs a 15 dollar card with no downsides...I mean when you consider a thermometer or humidity reader removed vs sd and removable battery which puts a determined lifespan on the device itself or break warranty/pay to replace seem like apples and oranges to me...as a massive samsung fan on merit with their devices...I can't even convince myself of a few of the those points lol Just because especially factoring in these are more expensive than ever they removed integral components to the core experience of what made the device unique...I mean bar removing the s pen or making it smaller...they couldn't really do more to gut it and to not use cheaper price as the excuse it becomes somewhat insulting as a fan for me...they think we're apple sheep that will buy whatever crap they rehash...and we won't...you can't justify recycling the screen camera and overall s pen experience then call it an upgrade by changing the cpu that's already bottlenecked by android os so it'll never be any faster in hand than n4 lol...I've had these debates trying anyway to bring myself to drop the money I had set aside but it's just impossible for me to imagine buying what's practically a sealed note 4 that well be able to pull half the kit from to our note when for less money I can buy s New note 4 and a huawei mediapad x2 lmao

My note 3 with 2.5 is the same thing...stunning...so light and ergonomic...it took me a while to adjust accept the note 4 using metal...wasn't a fan for several weeks lol

Yea I don't know what they were thinking, but someone definitely made them drink the cool-aid. What was in it? I don't know....

As for Cloud, yea it has its downfalls for areas with low to no reception (data), but I cure this by putting on the movies, files etc....before my trips or plane ride. I travel frequently from Hawai'i to the Mainland and have even carried my little OTA USB cable to plug into my 256GB PNY flash stick that has tons of movies on there. The 5.5-6 hour flight is only good for about 4 movies anyway. But I do see your point and I agree....it can be a major nuisance being stuck with no data reception, however, I think most of us are within or near LTE the majority of the time as with most users who by phones in general.

I'm aware about the humidity and its tole on electronics in general, but since I upgrade yearly anyway it's all good. Just sorry for the next owner that's all LOL j/k...but honestly I've had music blasting while showering and the humidity never once did anything to the device. Let alone living in a humid environment on the islands....nada.....I did have a case on it, but still it held up pretty well.

It pretty much boils down to user habits and personal preference as ALL the points above are very subjective, except to me at least, how stupid LP is and how it's ruining our fun. The hole keeps getting deeper.

This will be the first time in history for me to not buy the next flagship device. I was so looking forward to the Note 5. The only thing stopping me is the firmware. That's it. $1000 or not, I'd be all over the 128GB and be happy. But then again, we all have our own usage habits.....

The Note 5 was definitely a rush job. I'm going to call my uncle. Really...."Uncle, WTH is going on?!"
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea the sad thing is...the hardware and price were a hurdle I couldn't overcome before even thinking about 5.1.1 which has no xposed...and only add more complexity and complications to customizing our setup...I mean just the jump to 5.0.1 broke xposed...I can't imagine having dropped $999 * .07= 1068.93...to get home and have no root or no way to rom, no sd card...no fun...

Totally with you man.... No Xposed = No Upgrade. Period.

All this due to software right? Sad....
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Not just software...arbitrary overly obnoxious security...they've just gone mental...Knox in the source, bootloader, kernel, system, 16 or 18 apks in the system, and selinux, plus various other secure storage and secure lockout protocols from classic android...it's minefield trying to dance around it...and like none of it is on 4.4.4...it's why I make such a big deal of keeping that option available and not going 5.1.1 on n4 if they disable downboot via Odin

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
re: netflix

If you had any ad blockers active or any security apps like

"lookout" activated they can and do cause server time outs.

Some Xposed framework modules also have security

options which can block or time-out servers too.

Check it out...
