Imo skip kies...optimally...do a normal factory reset in storage of settings... wipes the internal storage cleanly...then boot to twrp and wipe the data slot...then boot into download mode and Odin stock...this is as clean as kies given the Odin flash at the end and factory wipes the internal sd without twrp

When I wipe internal and do a full clean flash like I plan to this weekend...I use this method except I prolly won't Odin stock since I only flash fk no real point

Punctuation missing on Sam Keyboard keys

Somehow I have lost the punctuation marks on my keys on the Samsung keyboard which I've used since day one . Anyone know how to get them back? Tried reset in keyboard settings but no joy.

Well I do call it good battery life, BUT I am coming from a Note 2 running Jedi with a ZeroLemon battery, so no comparison there at all. 4 days on one charge, with around 12+ hours of on screen time.

Ahh I remember those days. Do keep in mind though that the N4 is a much more powerful phone, therefore, it can't be compared to the n2. LOL. :) It's like comparing a mouse to a dog...well may a cat to a dog...ehhh...you get the point. The n2 is no where near the same league.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea my note 2 rom will give my note 2 10 hours of battery life or like 9 days of standby and my mega 6.3 is 10 days and 6 to 8 screen on give or take ...but it's literally 1/4 of the speed and power lol. .doesn't work both ways...that's like saying man thus ferrari so fast but doesn't get the mpg of my miata. ...well Yea where do you think the performance trade off is? lol

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
Yup I agree...although having great battery life is awesome, with a phone of this caliber with this Rom (Ferrari) having a battery life that is even equal to stock should suffice, especially on a custom ROM. Anything over that is a bonus in my books. That's like a Ferrari getting 40MPG! Haha.....

But yea, if one is modding the phone for speed and all that cool jazz.....battery life shouldn't even be in the conversation like gas mileage isn't for Ferarri owners. Let alone batteries are cheap and it's removable OR buy an external 6000mAh battery charger or something...haha...it's not even an issue...unless you're stuck on a nexus 6. Lol. That would suck. Thank goodness...

FLOOR the SOB! RUN IT HARD! This isn't a prius, although the crazy improvement in battery life almost makes it out to be for this phone mpg wise.....so I guess there is a Ferrari that gets 40MPG! Called FireKatv2.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I never got 4 hours once on stock...regardless how slow or laggy stock was i maxed at 3 hr 45 mins 1 time..even when I only had 6.5 hours of total on time...at full brightness with my normal setup the so has almost been doubled for me that's why I'm like what in the world...cuz now with almost identical setup I'm getting just under 35% more but it's not 1:1 since I have my kernel min clocked quite a bit higher now as well

Edit:I actually posted my first 4 hour plus so time on v1 in the early posts I made cuz I was so pumped hahaha I almost returned the note tbh but thankfully got twrp and v1 now in in love. ..but you know your apps are the biggest thing to control for best battery life...Greenify does wonders lol

What are trying to set it to exactly...what governor io and clock.? and what app are you using? I use multicore controller and setcpu ans both working perfectly tbh...as for a kernel I haven't even bothered looking I can't really see the point on the n4 tbh...i thought about making a custom one but the stock kernel has been great imo and running amazing on v2 as is...imo oc is overkill on this

Stupid Noob questions..

I’m trying to do the stuff in OP2, ran into a couple issues.

"4. Greenify all downloaded user apps...Dont touch system app/don't activate greenify xposed mod"

So I downloaded the greenify app via the playstore. Then what? Are we suppose to be make all downloaded apps hibernate?

5.How do you disable Google Mag. Music and plus stuff?

Just rooted this and first rom i've installed. :good:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
To Greenify stuff you open the app, click on the little + icon in the top right corner, and select the apps you want to Greenify. Don't Greenify any alarm clocks or apps that you want/need notifications from like Tapatalk, gmail, etc. If you don't care about notifications from them then go ahead and Greenify them.

To disable stuff go to settings-> applications-> then scroll over to the right until you see the menu called all. Scroll down until you see an app you want to disable. Click on it and hit turn off. A little warning message will pop up. Just hit ok and continue disabling crap.

http://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s6-review-1227.php

Ha, seems like Samsung took cues from Sony and Apple down to the interface with some of the basic apps reminding me of Apple (calendar) and the theming option reminding me of Sony. I ain't mad! Lol Touchwiz looks GOOD. I haven't used Touchwiz since the first few months on my S2. I like how things look and how they baked more things into the ROM. But I'm so use to Nova I'd probably still use that. I'm liking the camera interface. Gives a glance at the Note 5. I hope they bring back that carousel gallery. That was so hot. Think any of this code could be ganked from the S6 and integrated into this ROM like some of the camera features, or that's not how these things work? Lol

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GatoL0c0:
Don't use ART for this ROM as it's optimized for Dalvik. Why would you want to switch anyway? There wouldn't be any benefit in Kit Kat. Plus I think apps likely need to be made to take advantage of ART.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
It's not properly supported in the base and then I rebuilt dalvik almost entirely...but on top of that it would be a huge step backward if you did activate it as its only as art is only on par with dalvik stock to stock at best...much less all the addition rebuilding and optimizations I've done to improve dalvik...so I'm more interested in a way to port dalvik run time into source lollipop as I def prefer it for now...until we can really get into art and optimize it in a similar fashion

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Dude I've been trying lol...i managed to rebuild the n3 firekat gallery an port spiral into it...and it never came on n3...but i cannot get it to function on n4...theres no framework or remaining bits for it in the n4 gallery apk decomp...as the gallery for s5 was completely rebuilt and n4 built on it...maybe over sb I'll have more time...love spiral gallery lol love having it on my n3 now so I def wanna bring to it to n4 for us if i can

If you're running Xposed that will kill ART. Why would you want it anyways? ART sucks on KitKat and is nothing like ART found in Lollipop.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
And there's no real benefit of it as of now on lollipop over dalvik anyway...side by side tests dalvik launches apps as fast or faster comparing 4.4.4 builds to lollipop...it may eventually turn out to be much quicker once I can optimize and work on it... but as is stock art its just a different way front load caching the apks instead of doing it on the fly dalvik style...that's It...there's no miraculous boost or something it's simply a chance to the caching system lol...tbh it's caused more problems than any benefits it's given in return given the app issues an mod problems with it

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
I tried a few of the AOSP Lollipop ROMs we have in our dev section and I saw no improvements in app launching times. I'm not saying the ROMs sucked or anything like that. ART just didn't live up to the hype of brining instantaneous app launching and stuff.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Copied across all 5 threads as lollipop is a hot topic on every thread right now and I think it's super important everyone know what's what before diving in head first...

Fellas I think there's some confusion or misunderstanding of what art actually is or does...art is not a new turbo speed boost or anything lol...art simply stands for Android Run Time...similar to dalvik which just stands for dalvik "jit" controller...ie "just in time" controller...all it does is cache apps ahead of time on each boot/flash whereas dalvik does it on the fly...literally that's the only difference between them is the order they cache apks...the closest real world analogy is literally the equivalent of flipping from cfq to row on io scheduler...that's about the extent of the benefit of stock art to stock dalvik...going from a heavily optimized fk dalvik to art would be like Uninstalling the cpu controller altogether, and changing animation settings to like 3 or 4x

We've had this conversation a couple times before about lollipop in general... But I just just wanna make sure you guys understand the reality of lollipop and art especially as its the one thing i keep hearing people point to why they're excited for 5.0....but i don't think most people understand it in laymens terms...because the expectations for it are somewhat unreasonable in general...but especially due to the hype and long drawn build up/wait for what turned out to be a pretty incrimental update over kit Kat

Fingers crossed Samsung and tmo give us a great stable base to work off but having played with the first tw lollipop build on my friends s5 yesterday and getting a few more pm and posts today I thought i needed to clarify the art confusion a little bit as I've heard some pretty funny things about it lol...hopefully our base comes ready to roll and we can start v1 off and running [emoji106]

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol funny you mention that...re post above lol[emoji115] haha...but yea people have conflated it far beyond a simple cache loading process to some turbo boost tool lol...i had my first hands on comparison with TouchWiz lollipop on Verizon s5 yesterday...it was decent...no better no worse than 4.4.2 or 4.4.4... its similar to another friends nexus 6... which I don't like comparing nexus and TouchWiz because ones a stripped out track car with no carpet or stereo.... (and full disclosure I have past nexus 4 builds and a current aosp 4.4.4 build for nexus 5 right now for a fkn4 user wife...so it's not like I don't do them or know aosp also lol just don't like it personally It's not for me)...whereas tw is like a Ferrari with leather heated seats an ac and in dash touchscreen system lol...but in both cases between s5 Lollipop ans nexus 6 lollipop vs fkn4...v9/v10 was all over it both times in benchmarks battery life and launching apps

the s5 isn't fair as its stock lollipop and it felt looked and run just like our n4 4.4.4 build just with ever so slightly different theme and touch animation colors....but even having played with a Nexus 6 several times trying to convince myself to buy one for 262 dollars to renew my att contract...i just couldn't do it...i was surprised how similar it felt to n4 stock att 4.4.4 build running right next to it...which the n4 stock build sucks...my friends rommed one ran better obviosuly than att but still wasn't n4 level in benchmarks or battery life and thats been pretty consistent reading reviews and from feedback... here imo n4 4.4.4 at least on fk v10 for me compared to nexus (same exact hw with less software and "project volta" still getting several hours less battery life on roms) the data doesn't favor lollipop on identical hw as our n4....

So im a little confused at all the hype still after we've seen at least for now on aarch32 lollipop in action and it's been mediocre at best?? so that's why I did the write up...like OK fellas I know new base or theme or what not is fun and I more than anyone i hope it's a great workable base and the security stuff is overblown...and i hope samsung put new optimizations bringing 5.0 up another level to start us off on another path with fkn4... but let's bring it down a notch lol... bring it back to reality a little bit lol

Hey everyone,

Does anyone have any recommendation to boosting mobile data signal strength or is it dependant on the carrier? My mobile data signal strength is always consistent just in that "mushy green" color compared to when you have a strong mobile signal strength it is a solid green color. I'm just wondering :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
It's already as optimized as i could get the signal/lte interaction with v10...im not sure where the colors are that you're talking about but signal strength is determined by the closest tmo tower, the distance, angle of antennae ect...as far as from our side It's a all already in the build...you'd almost certainly notice it more if you went back to stock at this point as my roms become the standard for us and we forget there was a stock at one point the rest of the world is stuck dealing with lol

HIssing sound coming from speaker

I am running into an issue with the speaker on this rom. If I mute the phone completely for all sound and I go into youtube and play a video I can still hear the speaker come on and make static sound. It does not play the sound in the video but the speaker is on and I imagine taking up some battery. This occurs pretty much in any app that would use any sort of sound (Instagram, whatsapp when I received a notification, etc) has anybody ran into this and is this normal?
