This will pertain to you fkn4 fans more so than the guys running pr because there's a high likelihood taking the update removes your ability to downgrade back....and for the relative improvements you'll have to decide if a slightly better 5.1.1 to make a slightly faster or more efficient pr build will be worth leaving the dual 4.4.4 and 5.0 options...

Fellas just a heads up as I see a lot of really high expectations and I don't want people going back thru the exact same thing we had with the disappointment of 5.0...and I'm getting this groundhog day feeling lol...my hesitation for everyone regarding 5.1 is pretty simple...there's not a big difference between the bases...Especially if it turns out that it is in fact a one way deal as I was worried it may be seeing this new n910t3 model...

it's not like I'm saying 5.1 has no improvements to the source or won't make somewhat better bases to start from...I'm sure it has the usual base evolution refinements ...but don't forgot we just had google saying not 2 full months ago at io that much of the promised refinements of 5.0 and 5.1 would not be making it in 5.1 but would be delayed and implemented in android m...

Most of the feedback I've had personally or read in passing about sprints 5.1.1 base is neutral...most simply can't tell a difference...similar overall battery life and performance...my buddy has a demo unit running it at his store and said it is a little faster and Smoother than 5.0 stock but don't expect some massive leap from our 5.0.1 build to 5.1.1 stock...possibly on a poprocks 5.1.x we could take advantage of the changes and get some improvements...I'm just trying to give realistic context for the expectations because 5.0 didn't deliver i know alot of people were hoping and wishing 5.1 would be the answer but I just want you guys to look at the reality of the bases were getting vs the expectations...added security and issues aside

Also be careful with buying or replacing your n4 as there is a new n910t3 model coming from tmo with 5.1.1 out of the box

S6+

Here's some pics of the S6+

Now I really like this phone a lot. It's everything I want design wise (IMO perfect for my taste), but of course the deal killer is the software.

I'll end up getting this one to replace the current S6 office phone. No doubt...the size increase really sealed the deal in bringing out the best of the edge design. It's so much better with this dimension.

As is....if I was able to flash FK14X on this bad boy.....Oh my.....I'd be in phone heaven.

See now with the S6+, this to me has more of a freshness over the Note 5, less the S-Pen. Oh BTW, I forgot to mention above that the S-Pen feels pretty nice and the whole clicking mechanism is pretty cool....

What's funny is its not that I don't like the n5 man...i personally prefer the note 4 square look and more masculine style but that's subjective...but for every check in its favor there's a half dozen checks for the n4...I've never had to try an do mental gymnastics with the probable difference or perceived benefits of extremely small differences of 2 devices using literally the same screen and camera...so some of the points will even change in the comparison when n4 gets 5.1.1...it's just crazy to imagine even as big a note fan as i am having to essentially convince ourselves that a couple little things would justify the 1000 purchase for overall an experience nearly identical to poprocks n4 as we have it now just with less customization options, hw features, or the ability to run 4.4.4

That's the real issue...it's not the size specifically or lack of features or limited change to the hw...it's summarily as a whole that 1000 dollars when the most noticeable change would be seen or felt in the icons on the launcher...that's sad...if down the line they come to their senses and put the sd back in with a larger battery then they'll be back in the conversation but personally at this point I'm more interested in the Galaxy a8 than n5...same size, same camera, exynos soc, bigger battery, thinner all metal uni body, sd slot, $450 bucks

Well regardless, the Note 5 is from a hardware stand point an upgrade. That's not a perception nor is it minor. You can't argue the CPU. Our SnapDragon 805 isn't a slouch, but it is at the same time no where in the same league as the Exynos Octa Core. Not even in the same conversation. 1GB of extra RAM may not seem like much, but it's still an upgrade. The Note 3 had 3GB and guess what so does the Note 4. Overall build quality is undeniably better. So rather it being a perception, the Note 5 has better hardware that is more than just minor.

There is no need to justify anything hardware wise by choosing to think that they're minor upgrades when they are not. The Exynos Octa Core CPU alone is worthy of praise to call the Note 5 an upgrade just from that alone. Even if it only came with 3GB and same "everything" else. The issue here is obviously the software and for most on here the inability to remove the battery or having a SD card slot is the culprit. Not the core hardware.

The price tag is also subjective, because for some $1000 or not, it's not an issue. Most people pay monthly with a JUMP upgrade from TM, not all up front. Zero down. Zero Interest.

The Galaxy A8 is a nice phone, but with only 2GB of RAM and a 1080p screen, the only thing going for it is the Octa Core CPU. Like the S5 line it may do well as a phone-phone with its given specs, since it's not a phablet. But after being spoiled with our screen res....it's hard to fall back to anything less.

What kills the Note 5 for me is purely the software. Like I've mentioned, if we were able to flash FK14X on there it'd be a done deal. 128GB would be plenty + Unlimited Cloud. Airplane? Boonies? Micro USB to USB 3.0 OTG cable for about $1.50 with my 256GB Flash stick. Battery? My 12,000mAh portable battery bank. But then again, what I can't justify is the idea of not being able to fit all the movies that I could possibly watch on the 128GB for my usual 5.5-6 hour flight? Even if you were flying from L.A. to London, you'd be able to watch only 6-8 movies and I don't think 128GB (less what the system eats up) is too small for that. That goes for music too....ACC, FLAC or not....if it can go on a microSD it can fit on a regular USB. 3.0 Flash Stick.

The point is I think we're making it out to be a bigger issue than it really is. Plugging in a OTG adapter is much faster and easier than taking a case off (for those with cases), popping off the cover, and replacing a microSD. For the nit pickers, yes, wear and tear too. (Which I don't even think about....)

But all this remains a dream (being able to downgrade to KK that is) because it "ain't" so.....

So in the meantime my daily driver will remain (happily) my Note 4 on FK14X. I bought another Note 4 yesterday and going to pick up a Note 3 today LOL! For only $225! Mint condition....it's just going to be my fun phone. Right now is the time to buy it all up.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Undeniably better build? because it's glass back? The use the same aluminum chassis no? I can't say I've ever picked up a n4 and thought...meh cheap lol

yea i agree exynos is faster and there's more ram...that's the only direct upgrade...and even the CPU upgrade is relative to the software bottleneck....i mean the 805 is just as powerful as the 808 and 810 of this year's non samsung devices...that's why in real world terms it's not an plus or minus for me as the efficiency offset of it will be a bigger difference than I think we'll ever see in actual performance since nothing can really even push the 805 hard as is...that's more my point...your looking at aesthetics which I don't even equate into the conversation typically tbh...just functionally in every real sense when n4 gets 5.1.1 other than the icons/ui the experience will be otherwise identical...i actually agree it make more sense ironically to buy an s6 edge plus than a note 5...for this very reason...

Added...about the money... once people get past the novelty stuff being glasss and that and get down to the actual real world benefits of one to the other... that money plays a huge difference as it could have went to another device or be saved ect...i can buy almost 3 devices for what I have saved for Tmo n5...so while it's true it's not always up front all at once for everyone...and may not be an issue for some... its still paying almost a grand either way...that's a lot of money for a n5 that's def nowhere near the jump from n4 that n4 was over n3 admittedly still holding n3 as am all time favorite in use daily...note 5 is a solid kit and with sd card and larger size screen imo could've taken things to a whole other level

I like the a8 because it uses the n3 5.7 inch amoled so it'd be incredibly long battery life...relatively fast exynos and the new 16mp camera with the uni body build and SD slot for like 400 bucks...thinnest samsung phone ever...it's just more ironic when they give every device 90% of the same hw... great post and good points for guys considering a n5 to consider

I can't really belive what have you did to the camera, but photos from that baby are unbelievable. Yesterday I have tried your Lollipop rom - PopRocks, and that was the day that I have told to myself - never go back to Int section of roms. I agree - people there do amazing job and I appreciate it.

To people, who are curious why I'm so in love with megalomanic's work:

- rock stable rom

- stock ui

- insane battery life

- low temperatures

- performance

Great point on the A8's screen as I am still a huge fan of the note 3's screen. Makes sense....great for battery life.

The note 4 build quality is excellent. I've never thought otherwise. Compared to the note 5, what I was referring to was the metal over plastic frame on the note 4 vs a solid aluminum frame on the note 5. The metal frame on the note 4 is not solid metal. It's an overlay. It's really irrelevant for those who use a case though. The glass back on the note 5 vs our removable soft touch cover means nothing to me. I just like the glass and pointing out that it makes for a more solid feel overall from the bare phone stand point.

As for the CPU from what I've experienced so far, the stock Note 5 with the bloatware, crapware, whateverware it has on it vs even our Snapdragon 805 at its best due to FK, is still faster. There is no comparison. There is no replacement for displacement so to speak. It's Apples to Oranges. Regardless of bottlenecks. It is what it is.

The fortunate thing is we have FK unleashing the best of the Note 4's ability that gives us the luxury to cruise at more than an adequate speed for the time being. (Another year comfortably.) For that, I'm extremely thankful. If we didn't have FK...the Note 4 experience would not be the same.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I'd have loved to get a note 5 man...i really wish they hadn't done this...i know what you're saying just raw value in the material or hw itself vs note 4...it's like having a v12 vs our v10...and that does at least add more value to them intrinsically so it's not fair to say it's not...i would love to have the 7420 in a 6 inch note lol...i haven't been all that impressed with it in real world vs it's numbers in my moms s6 active so if you're saying touchwiz 5.1.1 ui is running that much faster than even a custom rom that's really surprising and makes me interested to see the 5.1.1 and more hopeful for a good n4 base then ...but damn if they didn't do their best to make people dislike these phones hahah...me and my buddy have constantly been trying to come up with any little thing to be like ehh that's worth it lol...i had hope when the Asian one got sd slot but then you give up lte lol its like ahhh why samsung why you do this lol

Yea the A8 really caught my eye using the note 3 hw for the money in a pretty good looking kit...I'm just so posses at samsung lol idk what I'm gonna get...i know a black N4...but for something new like was hoping n5 would be...maybe lg g pro 3 hopefully it's sick...Ascend Mate 7s may have the new sony imx278 which would be the best camera probably ever on a phone so that's peaked my interest as well lol

Not many good options this year bro it sucks for us fans of the tech itself

Yea bro I hear you...sucks...just so ggrrrrr.....I went to go play with the S6+ again....if and when xposed is working and stable on LP, I might just bite the bullet as long as the core modules that I use function as well. One things for sure though, I won't give into giving up everything just to rock a new device. LOL. I'm very stubborn with this one....no xposed = no new phone.

I'm keeping my eye out for the LG G Pro 3 as well. Looks promising.

Oh and the speed of the Note 5....yea I was pleasantly surprised how smooth it was given the bloatware and couldn't help to think of what it'd be like with some magic done to it by you haha....hmmmmmmm......... For what it's worth, the Exynos in the Note 5 and S6+ is knocking at 70K on the benchmark scores, STOCK. That's crazy. We 'gotta' do something about this Mega....haha....so that mega computer decrypter I was talking about...hmmmm ROFL.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lmao yea dude...but now we're in a whole other box for note 4...

We are basically at this stand still where it appears when 5.1.1 drops we will have to choose either lose KK for good or keep fk and prv8x...as it appears no downgrade is possible once we go 5.1.1...I Def enjoy V8X it's super snappy and fast...but where 5.1.1 would've undoubtedly improved the base to work from that's the choice to be made...I'm literally buying a second n4 lol and putting V14X on one and will never come off it...the other will run pr but yea it sucks

I believe the Note 4 on V14X has reached the pinnacle of the Note 4's ability. This is a major accomplishment in so many ways and I'm very content with rocking the Note 4 on V14X as is well into the near future. Of course I would love to rock the Note 5, S6+, LG Pro 3 maybe ...etc.... but for now it's the best device to have right now (Note 4 on FK V14X) and it'll also hold true for the future. ie...it's darn future proof in so many ways....

When one door closes, another one opens...lets just hope for some big break discoveries, whatever that may be haha...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
There's gotta be a breaking point imo...i think even as marginal a group as root and more so rom users are...i think there will be some form of customization...what sucks is this sense that these companies feel like it's somehow ok to block out major functions of our device...and idk if that os will be android or not

I mean think of it like this...the note 5 or 6 plus we'd buy...at least a 64 gb is nearly a grand...imagine having built or bought a pc and find windows had blocked off command prompt AND admin access...you'd be like ugh wtf I have no control over my own computer?...i personally don't see how it'd ant different simply cuz it's a smaller device or different os how it's even legal? So hopefully google or samsung see the light...at least lg has started giving out their bootloader unlock code for the g4...thats a good sign at least but the idea is just absurd when you think about what they're actually doing by blocking root or locking bootloaders and stuff...imagine you couldn't downgrade windows 10 back to 7...thankfully Tizen is wide open still lol and getting more refined every build [emoji106]

That's a perfect analogy. Well put. As for Tizen I have some pretty high hopes for it. In fact, they have a major advantage of picking up where Google would have left off if that holds to be true with all this locked madness.

It's just exciting to see what the future holds. In the meantime, we have plenty to be thankful for and at the same time excited about....possibilities. What if's.
