Hey Mega, I know that you have done some tweaks to improve the stock camera, which I really like!!!

I found this thread that forces the camera to use quick pic instead of the gallery and I was wondering if there was a way to merge this into v13 somehow?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=60554379

Thanks for the great kit kat rim I can't live without xposed and xprivacy on my phone so it seems I will be on the this rom for a few years
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] note4me:
Its a good idea, but baking into the rom is forcing the users to use QuickPic and if they didnt install QuickPic, then FC occurs

Mega always likes to keep his ROMs stock like with improved efficiency and performance and giving us the power to modify as we wish
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SiNJiN76:
There's an Xposed Module that will let you do this. Forget what it's called since I haven't been on KK for a while now. It actually lets you take your pic...get it? pic...pick...hahaha...I'm the only one laughing, huh?....
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mutantblack:
What note4me said. ^

To be honest, I like the Samsung gallery. I also use quickpic and it's my favorite but not as appealing as gallery.

Hey everyone,

I'm going to run a little bit off top here so I apologize in advance! If you were to buy a brand new note 4 where would you buy it from? Straight from a carrier and have it unlocked or risk it off ebay/kijiji etc? In case the note 5 is a flop I'd like to just buy myself a brand new note 4 device and sell my current one, Canadian or American variants :)

Also, anyone has a cool case suggestions for this bad as note 4? I'm using the spigen tough armor but I'd love to have an alternative as this case is very protective but scratched up bezel.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea note nailed it...I haven't ever actually used quick pix... and tbh I'm a fan of the stock gallery...I think there's an xposed mod that pushes this workaround tho?

Edit looks like sin already mentioned the Xposed mod

So I'm confused.... Is V13x lollipop based? If so, what is PopRocks?

Sorry haven't had time to sift through all the posts
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Huh? No dude just read the op...haven't you been running fk before lol?

Yea, but I use the Tapatalk app and for some reason the first page lags severely. I figured out V13x lol. All good now... I hope

You are the man I am amazed how you keep making things better and better your a machine MEGA and I am in awe of of your abilities and thankful for your work.

When u mentioned running like FIRE, i thought of the name Mega kept for the Canadian Lollipop Beta releases "FireFive", I loved that name(kinda superhero name), while testing the beta,this was my lockscreen image

I wouldn't buy a phone off EBay, too risky! I don't know what their dispute policy is, but chances are a phone could be blacklisted after Ebay's dispute policy expires. Then your phone is good for WiFi use only and you'll have no recourse. Look into Swappa instead, you can still get taken, but Swappa has the means to force a scammer to make it right!

So I'm running V10 at the moment, is it possible to flash V13 over it without complications? Has anyone tried it out?

I find it a bit tedious to reinstall everything from a clean wipe but I am stoked to try out the new build so I'm asking for a public opinion.

Will probably proceed with a clean install to prevent any hiccups with performance.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
If you dirty flash it...it will not be as stable efficient or fast...tedious maybe...worth the time definitely imo especially if you plan to run it for a while

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
I did a semi dirty install over V11 with no serious issues yet. I wiped system, cache, and dalvik cache 5 times in recovery, flashed V13, and was good to go. I had to add my boot animation, sounds, Xposed, and all that other good stuff back, but it was 10 times faster than a full wipe. I am not recommending that you do this. I'm just sharing my experience with a semi dirty flash.

Dual boot patcher ok?

Hi I ran a search of the thread already and didn't see anything posted. My apologies if I missed it.

I'm running ANJ base right now, rooted, twrp, etc. I was all ready to load ANK and go to the most current version of FireKat. Then my brother gets a new Note4 and I start comparing KitKat to Lollipop side by side. I start thinking, is there a dual boot solution out there? I see posts about aukhan and his Dual Boot Patcher work. I would like to run FireKat as my main and dual boot into a stock rooted COD Lollipop. Will this work? Is anyone running this way successfully?

Thanks for the help as usual! :good:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
If your already on ANK4 base than clean wipe procedures begin from the "advance wipe ..." instructions. The safest and most clean wiping you can do though is a factory reset via settings and begin from instruction 1. Odin stock ank4 base ...

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Idk anything about a dual boot recovery or anything but just from the fact they run on different bootloaders means you'll need a full port and custom kernel to boot lollipop on kk plus the modded dual boot patch and security complexities...imo I would never attempt it on my note personally and I can't see it being a stable option when you can simply odin up and back in 10 minutes without worries

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Gonzorito:
Thanks Mega - one of the first posts in response to the guide was EXACTLY that. I appreciate the guidance.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Dmkarkutt:
Going to install when home tonight
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JahJahLoO:
Thank you guys for your opinions.

This is the first time learning about the wipe with factory reset; IIRC, I usually would check off the Cache, Dalvik Cache and System. Can't recall if I checked off Data as well, can anyone clarify this being part of the clean wipe process?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
The data part is essentially the separation between dirty and clean

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
Clean wipe (aka factory reset)= data, cache, dalvik cache

Super clean wipe= data, cache, dalvik cache, system

Usually wiping system is not needed because most install scripts wipe/format system, but I do it anyways just in case.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JahJahLoO:
Oops, my mistake, it must've been Data instead of System. It's been a while.

Thanks again.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GatoL0c0:
FYI most questions you have are likely to have already been answered. Lucky for you, this thread is very lenient but you should still try searching first. Also, check the OP as Mega has already taken lots of time to provide you with many answers to frequently asked questions.

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Thee_illuminati:
I do actually. It kinda bugs me now that I use FK. By no means though. FKV13 is fast but PR is just on a different level. It kinda makes your phone seem new again buttttttt.....it also sucks not having xposed to map keys and have easier shortcuts or all the other xposed features.

But

Hey Mega,

Been lurking in your thread since v2 and have read every single post. Have been through op1 and op2 so many times I think I might remember them by heart now........lol

First and foremost I'd like to say a big Thank You for everything that you do! The roms and help are above and beyond any other that I have seen. Sometimes words just aren't enough to show the appreciation.

And another Thank You for everyone else here that has been very helpful also. I have learned more in the last 1600 pages than I have in the last year pertaining to android.

Back on track though wanted to chime in and say that I did a totally clean install of firekatv13. I wiped everything (factory reset, data, dalvik, cache 4 times) and installed the rom and I have absolutely no problems what so ever, none, zero, zilch. Runs perfectly smooth as a baby's bottom. On my second charge cycle and the battery life is phenomenal, couldn't ask for more. I do believe that the rom is so fast that some apps have a hard time keeping up if this is at all possible. .........lol, just from my experience.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Wow thank you for such an awesome post [emoji106] ....I really appreciate the amazing feedback...I'm stoked you've been enjoying the roms and thread...it's been super fun to watch it all come together...hope you enjoy the update as it settles in for you...don't be a stranger [emoji106]

You're setup looks great btw...man I miss mods lol you're status bar is awesome with that gradient color fade man looks fantastic all together dude

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Awesome dude thanks for letting me know....I was hoping the efficiency stayed the same or improved...just didn't want the speed or rendering stuff to ruin that side of it which admittedly was def a main benefit imo....gonna tough to match in that with pr

Like I've said in every post since flashing the very first test build...I've really enjoyed it...it's Insanely fast and fluid...no setcpu needed...decent battery life...it's only missing the mods imo

It's just for those if us into it...that's a huge part of the enjoyment of your setup...the ui is 95% of your interaction with the device so a generic looking setup vs a decked out custom one just isn't the same...so they offer two different experiences imo

v11 camera

Would like to share a wallpaper that made me think of poprocks even though I know this is the firekat thread. Dont know why peeps are so gung ho over lollipop. I have read and read about it to research it as much as possible and until they, Google, finally get it straightened out along with other developers and their magic mods working with it it's not for me. I like my phone the way I want, not how they think it should be. It was shoddy from the get go. Like you and everyone else says, they had an idea but don't know how in the heck to put it together and make it work properly.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Dmkarkutt:
Hey Mega do you know if that LG Optimus lock screen from the PR OP will work on FK by chance?

Just setting up FKv13 Its super fluid and nice but still not on the same level as PRv2 and is it just me or is the screen itself optimized on Prv2 or maybe lollipop in general? Colors on the display look quite a bit more alive.. The FK v13 camera is DAMN good BTW but as you already know the PRv2 cam is untouchable. It is nice to be able to setup everything the way I want it to look (Wanam) but I think Im going to def make nandroid backup after all setup and then setup PRv2 or 3 as daily I miss the speed, screen and cam. I don't mind the look of Pr either especially with some of the mods from Note4Me. You guys offer up an amazing experience together I cant thank you both enough!!! i'll be running the best of both worlds until xposed for tw lollipop!!!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] theeze:
Actually clean wipe is data, cache, dalvik and system.

If you don't wipe system, you'll run into issues. It's always good practice to wipe it this way. Not all roms runs those scripts.

Let's not confused the beginners.

Wiping System is mandatory, otherwise it's a semi dirty flash.

For sure it works fine I used it since v1 of fk with no issues...as far as fk vs pr I'm split on your comment...having the mods def helps ease the conversion and notes helped me a ton with that side...the camera is def better in pr for now but I'll keep working on Fk trying to improve it like I am the full pr rebuild so there's prolly gonna be another fk camera as well as obviously more pr cameras as I just finished the full rebuild/optimization for v3....as for the saturation idk without them side by side I honestly would've said I thought fk was more saturated and sharp and retooling the rendering and display...really I'm split like I keep saying with a little bias to both builds for what they offer..with a slight leaning toward pr as no one's gotten to run the full build with all mods and optimizations so it'll def be close imo

Hey Mega

If we are going between roms should we just run a twrp backup and restore that way or will that skew the efficiency and just clean wipe and reinstall all apps from scratch every time?

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Between pr and Fk? once you Odin up or down you could go either way...a restored backup will be slightly more convenient having everything installed already than clean flashing...so it just depends how often you do it and how you wanna go about it

Ya i am feeling the exact same way having fun still setting up FKv13 I gotta say its fastest KK build ever and the cam is not far off at all. There probably isn't much Mega can't do for the N4 IDK how you can even make these cameras better and better its insane. Either ROM you chose anyone will be floored with the speed and capabilities. I think Im going to run FKv13 as dd until you get next PR up then I will nandroid it setup new Pr and prob flip back n forth as to have my cake and eat it too!!!! Hey quick question the mixer path file for audio on the OP for PR is that the same as one on FK op? If not can I use the one on the PR as it sounds great to me? Oh and do you use straight TW or do you use Nova? Did you get a chance to check out that Galaxy Icon Themer for changing Icons right on straight TW?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No they're slightly different...a similar level on Fk would be low or medium mixer path mod files...vs the maxed out premodded one in the build

What icon pack is that you are using?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
But confusing beginners is what I do best.

Brightness is on auto with the slider at +5. For settings I have everything turned on except for Android Device Manager, Bluetooth, NFC, and WiFi calling. CPU/GPU speeds at the stock levels.

The secret for super high screen on times is watching movies stored on the phone or SD card. I watched a 2½ hour movie and only lost like 10% because my phone didn't have to do anything that required heavy CPU or radio use. Normal web browsing or YouTube watching will drain 15% in an hour because it's using the radio and calculating screen touches and all that good stuff.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
Stock is 300MHz/2.64GHz for the CPU and 300MHz/600MHz for the GPU. Go to settings-> security-> device administrators-> deactivate Android Device Manager. That will help with standby time more than anything else.
