Thanks for the response Mega. But, maybe I need to clarify. Before I even installed Viper, I did just the volume change mod with the xml file. That change alone should have increased the volume on the wired headset, phone speaker, and BT headphones. For some reason, on this ROM, the increased volume is working only on the wired headset and phone speaker, and NOT on the BT headphones. Can you think of any reason why? I think the Viper issues I was having are independent... My biggest concern is just getting the BT headphones volume as loud as it was on the other ROM. Thanks.....

Standby battery life is phenomenal. (Stock was pretty damn good too) It's also MUCH smoother and runs cooler. However, my battery life when using the phone doesn't really seem any better than stock.

Hmm, so after I first flashed this ROM, everything seemed fine. I recently flashed a mod, and wiped the dalvik/cache. Now, I no longer see anything about FireKat in the "About Phone" section.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wase4711:
and why is that a problem?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Just so we're clear. ..you guys understand that you're individual setup dictates yours battery life on a given build right? Because with the exact same setup I had from V2 coming to v3 I gained almost 30 min it's of screen on time...you have to have identical setups to gauge the two builds otherwise there's 1000 factors to account for...how many google app updates/other updates have happened in last 4 days? Ect so the base v3 is more efficient than v2 if your setup less efficient just see what's changed between your setups...i wouldn't have pushed out a build for v3 with less battery efficiency than v2 cuz I test these builds extensiv before you guys ever see each one and know exactly what each build can do...the only major change was secure storage and bug fixes between v2 and v3 but the battery life improved slightly removing several lockouts obviosuly nothing major that wasn't the focus...check yours setups

To test the battery life just clean flash and do nothing to the builds...that will show you the actual rom battery life not your setup variances if you guys care to lol

Quick question about greenify.. I know it said to greenify downloaded apps and not system via exposed.. Why is that.. Does greenify via exposed have a negative effect?

Can you do a update with unrestricted tethering cooked in? Been hearing good things about battery life etc but revert back to my old rom because tethering count up on my account.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
Now that v3 is ironed out, it's highly likely that the bells and whistles are to come in v4.

Tethering works great with WiFi Tether Router. I use it daily with v3. Funny thing is, even though tethering is built in, I'll still use WiFi Tether Router as I prefer using a 3rd party app...it's more flexible settings wise and works flawlessly. So either way, it does not mattaaa...WiFi Tether Router it is and will be...

When do you think V2 will be up and running so I can just get that one flashed right off the bat?

Also, I might be able to upload to my server later on as well, but cannot promise because I have to check on specs and see if it can handle alot of bandwidth.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Well the build is done and literally just starting uploading over my slow ass time Warner Cable Internet lol...so 2 weeks carry the 2 x twc suckiness. ..say 430 or 5 pm this afternoon it should be up live and running insane lol...latest would be evening just depends on upload time

Mega

That would be amazing...over been searching for a host server of my own to warehouse my builds because none of the major servers will support the volume of traffic my roms get...drive gets shut down in 30 mins typically every update...i had 6 mirrors fir my last note 3 update and all 6 got shut down across 5 servers for 24 hours lol

Omg I know dude....and when they do those update cycles where for like 10 strait days at midnight they cut off my cable and Internet till morning. ..as a vampire who never sleeps drive me freaking crazy lol...but by far the worst thing is the 10:1 down to upload ratio of their plans. ...it takes me like 6 hours to upload a rom which is a tragic joke with the technology we have in 2014 lol...they sht thing is having no other option since they're a monopoly...fn hate that aspect the most...forced into their crap service kills me monthly lol

Always clean...now I know some devs say don't dirty flash but it doesn't matter...i make substantial changes between each rom...and imo when your taking the time to flash for the best experience it's worth the time to do it properly...plus the next update will be at least a week to 10 days at the earliest

Mega

Don't think I cop out by any means...i clean flash every single time even the test flashes and mod tests in between each update you guys see...so I just want to be honest I practice what I preach about this...i use the rule of thumb that avoiding a problem is far more efficient than chasing your tail trying to fix one so anything I can do to limit issues is a bonus for me

Awesome dude I'm glad you're using it...i was wondering how many people actually would...I couldnt stand the lag and load up time of the scanner on stock but it's just as fast as any other method now...I hadn't tried it since I flashed my rom tbh much better and actually practical now

Yea it moves to the last post...so I think whoever makes the last post will see it...but I see it under every one of my last posts...i just posted in all of those threads that I'm not following them or answering questions there... i mean I have 4 rom threads live right now on different devices which is hard to keep up with much less doubling it over night without asking me...plus i want everyine to come over here because the thing is. ..even the most basic newb question has more than 1 person asking it. ..so I put everything out in the thread as possible...sure my roms it may be more optimizations or setup/tinkering help than troubleshooting bugs but the point is the same...if someone asks about an issue their having or how to do something...it's always benefits more than just the person asking so I really don't get it...especially on roms that do have a lot of bugs and need patches ect then for sure EVERYONE should see everything...breaking it up makes absolutely no sense to me..

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PreVayl:
OK before I say what my tiny issue is I just want to say thanks for this.

I have a small issue with the front camera. I took a few selfies in my pitch black room with nothing but the light from the screen when it was in camera mode (which is not much light) and when I was on stock I could still take a picture and see myself, (mind you I have medium skin complexion). But now, after installing this rom, I can no longer see myself in the camera under the same exact conditions and it looks more grainy then before. Idk if anyone else is having this problem but I actually upgraded to the note for mainly because of the camera aperture setting. Please let me know if anyone else is noticing the lack of lowlight viability with the cameras.

Hmm that's strange man you're cameras should both be super sharp. ..esp If you're on v3...you haven't flashed that camera mod by chance? At least on my note and photos I've seen posted an pmd both v2 and v3 has taken much clearer sharper pics...obviously your given room/lighting conditions will be different but on a whole photo quality should be much better than stock so I'm confused tbh

I don't use many google apps so idk I've only seen a few people mention using it..maybe others had similar issue idk?

4 way reboot menu

I have always wondered why it is that we have two separate reboot menus, one pops

up when we long press the power button and the 4 way reboot which pops up when we

select "reboot" from the stock reboot menu.

Why can't we simply have the 4 way reboot menu pop up when we long

press the power button so the stock reboot menu does not pop up at all?

All the 4 way reboot menu would need is an airplane and power down

option added to it or simply add the reboot recovery and download mode

option to the stock reboot menu.

The stock and 4 way reboot menu's have been around for years now for all the samsung

phones I have had and I have always been wondering why it is that after all these years

we still have two reboot menus instead of one.

Hello there! You'll be in for one heck of a ride.

This is IMO the best ROM available for the N4. There is a close 2nd, but 2nd isn't 1st. I am not one to settle for second place. If there is something better, I will use it. Best phone (1st place) Note 4. That's why I've bought it and not a Nexus 6 LOL, that'd be downgrading.... Free will and Free choice, therefore, my friend you have found the right one.

I posted in Q&A but I had a question for the dev. Is there a way to modify the Bluetooth stack to fix meta data? There seems to be an issue with the note 4 and possibly other new phones or the latest android version. Obviously not rom specific but this is the rom I'm using so I figured I'd inquire here.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Well what is the issue you're actually running into? It may be possible to sort your issue if you can elaborate a little further...i keep a gear connected 24 hours a day to mine without issue so let me know what your issue is and maybe myself or someone can steer you in the right direction

My apologies. I elaborated in the other thread, lol. Myself and others are having an issue with track info not being displayed on stock head units in vehicles. The music plays just fine, volume and track control work, just no track info. I drive a 2014 Dodge Ram with the Uconnect system but that doesn't seem to be the common denominator. The other people stating the issue drive a variety of vehicles which display the meta just fine with other phones. I'm not sure what music apps they're using but I'm streaming from Google Play Music.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Oh damn lol this one...yea man I've heard of this from the time devices started getting 4.4.2 unfortunately I've never heard of a fix...admittedly I haven't really looked into lately since I use the aux jack in my car with a cable vs bluetooth streaming it...but as far as I had understood looking at it a few months ago it seems as if the cars bluetooth compatibility is outdated vs the newest bluetooth 4.x whatever although this was just a couple dev buddies and I speculating over pm to be completely honest as none of us knew enough to technically break down the radio transfer or encoding/decompressing necessary to interface them properly

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Adrozz07:
It's so weird. I've had a few phones lately. Note 3, M8, Nexus 5. No issue from any. To add to it, I went to the dealer last week for unrelated problems and they actually flashed updates to my head unit from Chrysler that had been released. Still no dice. I'm thinking it's either Samsung or the source code. I'm leaning toward Samsung though. On my stock ROM my Bluetooth streaming would default to the stock player. I'm not sure if the meta was functional though because I dont have music on my local storage. It just played that God awful Samsung jingle. I'll have to investigate further.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea dude its Hella weird...and there may very well be updates or patches ect that people/manufacurers have come up with i just haven't looked being that I don't use it...but it's super bizarre under any circumstance that it would play but not display the music lol...this is one case where I simply don't know enough to say one way or another

I could very well see it being a case of samsung setting it up expecting stored locally data say on the sd vs streaming over data from Google cloud...but still odd that a generation of tw/android later the issue still exists after it was found in n3 4.4.2 builds
