Added 3 new s6 style widgets to the FireKat S6 Theme Pack...2 are a mix of n3 and n4 weather widgets with the s6 widgets weather icons font and text...the 3rd is my sort of take on the centered transparent n4 s6 widget to add a little something to lt as I find those ones somewhat boring usually....they turned out to be great combos and adds a little color etc def cool mix imo enjoy

Anyone try the new Google handwriting keyboard? I'm giving it a go and so far I like it....and a bit better then the sammy stock method thus far, imo. It works well and picks up on crazy writing good too. Intuitive, fast and with good auto correction too. The auto spacing and ability to keep writing word after word is great and a bit better than stock.

Worth checking out and now will have me using my stylus even more than I already do.

Btw Mega, I can't believe you're already about to release (the Canadian varient) LP. Impressive ....and unnecessary so soon but appreciated nonetheless! Should be interesting. Curious on the initial hurdles encountered and the tweaks you're going to do.

When de-bloatinging CA firmware you must notice the smaller amount of carrier apps.

I knew we had it good (relatively) but I just recently saw the list(s) of what the major U.S.carriers tack on and I was blown away! That list of carrier bloat(s) is insane, LoL
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SiNJiN76:
Yeah. Wish the keyboard was available when I first got the note and was showing off the handwriting capability to my cousin. She started writing from top to bottom...and I was like...no...you have to write in a straight line. Then the look on her face. Want that moment back. :silly:

BTW do you notice that the S-Pen is way too sensitive? It's good for navigation around the phone, but when it comes to drawing with finesse...there is no finesse mode. It basically jabbing into the screen mode. (Can't make thin, barely visible lines like you can with the N3 S-pen on the N3)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I haven't used google kb in a long time.. I'll check it out

Tbh man there's very little difference aa far as the system...sure they ripped out dalvik for art...but for the most part the system is almost identical to kk...that's why I keep saying it's really just a theme change as its 99% the same with slightly changed colors and ui so most of the performance and efficicency mods should be as effective plus or minus the base itself...but for sure I'll low more when I have a chance to really start in on the builds...the benefit here of having the test builds will be for anyone who waits on the nornal v1 should have a relatively smooth transition from fk....at least that's the hope lol

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I noticed the difference when I first got my note but i got used to the very light touch it takes to write or draw the same as n3 where it took some pressure to register whatsoever....remember it's 2x the sensitivity...but you can calibrate the s pen...you remove the button cover and make very tiny adjustments to the forward most bolt...theres a few youtube videos about it...but yea you have that option as well

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] desilva79:
I have a quick question, I've searched everywhere on the forum and can't find an answer , should I odin back to stock prior to sending my phone back to Tmobile for warranty ? It's using FireKatN4 now. Stupid camera can never focus on the current phone so I got a replacement.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] force70:
It may or may not make any difference it totally depends on the tech who looks at it.

Even if you odin stock there is no hiding the knox counter...

I would use odin simply because its 2 min out of your day so why not lol?

No guarantee either way it will matter.

sent from Canada via my Note 4, 3, 2 or S3
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I know a lot of people have differing opinions in this...i always reco just odin stock and send it off....it takes such little time and effort and removes any visible or noticeable traces for the casual tech from the rom and root to recovery who may simply power it on to wipe it anyway...but it's a why not odin and remove everything but the knox flash counter cuz theyd have to go that deep into boot mode to find out

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] desilva79:
Thanks , Mega / force70. Odin back to stock then. This would be my first time doing it , is the how to below accurate ? I wish they have picture to fool proof it.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] force70:
A quicker guide:

Download and extract your firmware from sammobile on your pc

Make sure you pc can see your device when plugged in

Open odin 3.09

Hit AP button and navigate to where the extracted firmware is

Place phone in Download mode

Plug in usb cable

Hit start.

Basic as it gets.

I would do a factory reset once the firmware is on your device from the stock recovery.

I agree! What a creep they are...Mega snipe this for good and get rid of the commies! 50 Cal. Locked and loaded. =P

Even for non security / privacy junkies, this is going a little too far and crazy don't ya think? ....
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] champoi:
Yea, it seemed like a lazier implementation than what Apple does. Cause seriously, all you have to do is wipe the phone and you can't track it anymore. lol I think (haven't used Apple stuff in a while) that if it's locked down with a iDevice, you can't just willy-nilly wipe it, though that's a bit easier with Android. lol Google. I like, never update their apps anymore. There was nothing wrong with it before, so no need to have it go mucking up my setup anymore.

Edit: I normally have my GPS off, but I just tried it now. I had me re-input my password to my google account and then it tried to find my phone but couldn't since my GPS is off. I thought I read somewhere that it would find the last place the GPS was used (which would have been my work) but that wasn't even recorded, so it just knows my phone is online (on) and that's it. I have three options to "Ring", "Lock" and "Erase". So they're not necessaryly tracking you unless you opt for it. Basically the same thing Apple does. lol

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
With Apple I can almost give them a pass...because up front you know buying in what you're getting...it's not really hidden imo that apple tracks and can remote wipe and lock Iphones ect...this seems more like a data logging and tracking system to suck even more data and ad tracking from your device than some user benefit imo...it's so lazy that I can't seriously believe it would even be useful for security

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] champoi:
I mean, for sure I'm kinda done with Google. On the one hand I do like how stuff is synced across devices, but the whole Google + rollout was atrocious and I hated how they changed the Play Store reviews where it's your real name. I havent made a review since, and I always made reviews before. lol It wasn't too far off where on a Simpson's episode a few years back had Google ruling the world in the future. We're pretty much letting them.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lmao it's so true dude...I've been at that point for a little while with them. ..the irony is I used to like Google but the amount of shadiness over the last few years, slipping permissions and deeper access in without a heads up...then wrecking their apps and our devices...after this last straw im just over them...

Oh, I want to say end of October-early November. It's taken a little bit of a beating, some of the sheen has worn off the fake metal edge and one corner of that edge is cracked, but I'm not complaining! It still looks extremely nice if you don't look too close and has saved my phone quite a few times! Underneath, my phone is like new! Then there's the fact I only paid just a little more than ten bucks for it! Funny thing is yesterday a guy who works for one of those fancy-pantsy designers mistook it for real leather, lol! It really looks nice for what you pay! One small detail is that the lettering is slightly crooked, no big deal for me.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Pick_A_Name:
Just to make sure, but did you remove that plastic covering your camera lens? Mine wouldn't focus either and then someone here kindly told me what a dumb azz I am leaving it on. Lol works great since I took it off.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
I'd just do a factory reset. FireKat looks just like stock NK4 so I doubt they're gonna notice. It's not like you're sending it in running CM12 or something where it's blatantly obvious that you're running a custom ROM.

---------- Post added at 12:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 AM ----------

I don't see how the plastic on the lens prevents the camera focusing. It has a hole in the center for the sensor in case you forget to peel it off.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Really? Think about it...you have plastic wrap which gets dirty and dusty far worse than glass covering a huge part of the light sensor glass...while the auto focus software is trying to balance 2 different light reflectivity levels and trying to make sense of the conflicting light data...which causes it to mistakenly keep cycling trying to find the proper focal point using 2 unbalanced light levels

It doesn't make any sense to me not to odin stock before sending it back regardless...there's no logical reason not to

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
The plastic was only covering the black outer section of the lens on my phone and my new frame that came with a lens. It had a big honking hole in the middle that didn't obstruct the sensor at all. Call me stupid, but unless the camera uses the black part for focusing (which I highly doubt) then I still don't see how it would affect the focus. There is a possibility that the plastic was on wrong on that guy's phone and blocked the sensor or the hole was too small or it didn't have a hole at all. Then I can see how it would cause focus problems.

I didn't bother to Odin back to stock when I sent my phone in for repairs and they didn't even mention it. I sent it to Samsung though and they flash it back to stock as soon as they take it out of the box. I don't know if T-Mobile does that or not.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] desilva79:
I did check that. It was off . It happens to a few of the Note 4 that we got in the office. If you shake the phone , it will focus. Probably something lose inside ? Sometimes it will just crash if you shake it to much. LOL.

Flash backed to Stock. IT was super easy. Thanks everyone for the info on how to flash it. The new phone is rocking FireKat again. Love this rom

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Think of it like this man...have you ever seen cars have a strip at the top of their windshield tinted? It lowers the total amount of glare and light just by having that strip...now imagine how sensitive a the light sensor is....any small shadow on part of the sensor would cover a large chunk of that sensor...and remember light boucnes around in that black area and reflects off the glass ect thats why phones all use that setup to gather even more light....just spent a year in physics on this garbage lol..... then up next to the clear opening is what I suspect happens...it's why so many people have removed it and successfully fixed the issue that isn't the rarer hw one lol

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Unfortunately man...that seems to be the case as described by the 15 or 16 others...some people have issues as you may have seen from the plastic cover on the lens but most found that early on typically...you can do a simple test I sort of came up with to test the Hw. ..put your n4 on a table/still...focused at something clear and easy to zoom...it should not refocus one it settles it should stay pretty much locked on the target ...that's a pretty good indication it's the Hw if it keeps constantly cycling to focus
