re: Quickreboot vs 4 way reboot menu mod

The Quickreboot from the play store is a lot better than the wanam way

of doing it. The wanam way of doing is very similar if not the same as

having the 4 way reboot menu mod.

Those two ways of doing it require us to use the power button each and

every time we want to reboot, reboot recovery, download mode or poweroff.

The quickreboot can be placed on one of our home screens as a shortcut

so we don't need to use the power button at all for the 4 way reboot menu.

Also when using the power button we actually have to go thru two separate

boot menus, one is the stock menu and the other is either the wanam mod

or the 4 way reboot mod.

steps to restore SMS, call logs, and more...

I'm stumped with restoring specific data to my clean flashed ROM, primarily SMS and call logs, but also WhatsApp, Viber, Skype, and a few other app data where I'd like to keep my message/image history. I'm coming from a google play edition galaxy s4.

Are Helium, Titanium backup, and/or SMS Backup+ compatible with FireKat?

- When I restore with Helium, I don't find any changes to the applications (SMS messages, call logs, WhatsApp)

- When I restore data via Titanium backup, I get forced closed loops on the respective apps until I remove/reinstall them

- When I use SMS Backup+ to restore SMS and call logs, it goes through a big restore sequence, but none of the messages or call logs appear after it completes.

Is this due to differences in data folder structure between the backup'd phone and the FireKat n4?

Can someone give guidance on how to restore SMS messages, Call logs, WhatsApp data, and launcher icon locations (as well as any other app data)?

- Can launcher icons/widgets from 'google play' launcher be transferred to FireKat tw (TouchWiz)?

This is a great start by Mega: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56440352&postcount=1608

- Perhaps a more detailed expansion can be put in Op3 for broader benefit?

I'm intent on trying this all again when v4 comes since I've dirtied my clean v3 flash with failed restores. For what its worth, I appreciate those must have apps already included with the ROM... as long as they can be removed, you are the 'expert' and I defer to and embrace your preferred experience. Also, on hardware... thanks for comparing the Nexus 6 with the Note 4, but what about the Note Edge? Hefty applause for doing what you do :good:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shaggyskunk:
I also use Screen Off and Lock from the store - I almost never even touch the power button - For screen shots I use LMT Pie
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] AtrixBomb:
How can we increase the home screen grid to hold more than 4x4 icons? I think this is part of TouchWiz, but don't see how to access the settings. I like the 2nd option weather widget, but have you considered making it just one grid unit tall?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MachinePower:
I used heliums pc download to backup and restore several games and root apps successfully on firekat V3. I haven't yet figured out to move my 9k sms and mms over or 2 year old call logs lol.

I don't want to steer this thread off topic but I was also going to thank him for the n4 Nex6 write up and ask about thoughts on N4 vs Note Edge. Please tell us what you think when you have time. I'm tempted by the Note Edge for sure especially with jump on my plan with Tmo. Either way the differences are negligible and both phones are beasts but from what I've read so far antutu tests actually show the edge being edged out by the n4.. jus saying.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
It's not that titanium is incompatible with my roms...its that titanium has never properly been updated to function stably on 4.3 and newer roms...given the amount of roms/and users I interact with and the number of issues I just stopped recommending it because it causes so many problems...

As for any other restore options it's trial and error...strait up there's never been one as well done as titanium with as many options.. but on the other hand I haven't heard of helium having the same problems

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
The nexus 6 is pretty simple. ..its a super overpriced phone with zero features added...made cheaply by Motorola and lenovo from left over part off a lenovo phone from last year....the price is almost comical especially when you account for the fact that getting a nexus was useful for two things decent specs on a cheap phone and early upgrades with the trade off being they'd be Hella buggy as you're literally a beta tester for google...but now that specs are pretty much generic at the s801 or s805 as we move toward the next Gen a57 based cpu for android L this nexus is already out of date.. ..this nexus is 650 dollars minimum...for a lenovo China phone with extremely generic hw, thr definition of generic software, literally no features, on a device .2 inch larger than a note 4...and anyone is even considering a nexus? Lol I've always thought the nexus line was a joke from having some of the worst cameras to the buggies builds but now Google is doing one better and locking "nexus" owners into carrier contracts and making them wait for carrier updates? Lmao nexus line should be cancelled it's pointless...

As for the edge...idk I think the novelty is amazing as a proof of concept but what functional benefit would it have? Idk for me if any but it's unique/different ...im most excited for gear s tbh.

Here is a 4 way reboot zip that works perfectly fine on both V2 V3

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] davidisflash:
Hi Mega-

Many thanks again for your quick responses helping me out...per your last suggestion saying I should flash the supersu.zip in recovery after clean flashing the ROM:

- Other users not seeing issues, are you too having to flash supersu.zip in recovery due to an error not having root?

- bri, should this fix the issue with the boot loop (flashing supersu)?

- Anyone have the supersu zip handy that I should use? Right now I've just updated the play store app but haven't seen a way to actually obtain the zip so I can upload it to sdcard

- Any other tips guys? Again I did this: odin to official stock rom, rerun cf-root successfully, reflash twrp latest (the version listed in the root guide in general section), boot into twrp, factory wipe, wipe all checkboxes but internal/external storage, flash rom. Anyone with success doing anything even slightly differently? I also never have flashed custom kernel either

- Does it really matter that the ROM is on my external sd rather than internal for installation? Would adb sideload be a better bet?

Thanks again :)

re: reboot menu

That's what I use too, "screen off".

What I am trying to find is a mod or app which can

wake up the screen/phone using a double tap.

So far the only apps I found all use the proximity sensor in the phone

which when activated constantly use a bit of battery power and are

very inaccurate.

No i haven't had any issues nor do I believe I have seen any one else with a non rooted firekat when they flash it...it doesn't really make any sense to me that you wouldn't be rooted. ..all you need to do after flashing is open supersu hit continue and update thr supersu binary...nothing with an update.zip not sure where you thought I said to root from a zip I would always say odin for root...this doesn't make sense that your not rooted when everyone else flash root fine you know what I'm saying...? It's build it it'd not even an option....

Answer me this when you open supersu and it says needs update did you hit continue like i told you last night or did you hit update from twrp? Your supposed to hit continue normal

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I think what he's been doing is instead of opening supersu and hitting continue to update binaries...he's been hitting twrp then it's not properly updating the binaries for root and kicking back the your not rooted error...he simply needs to hit continue normal let supersu push binaries and reboot like we all do on flash

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Gavin22:
In the menu of TiBU there is an option to backup/restore xml where you can backup & restore your call logs & SMS/MMS. Ive tested & confirmed working for over 1000+ phone calls (lightning fast) and 25000+ SMS/MMS (about an hour -- much less with fewer SMS/MMS).

Also, while Ive too discover TiBU freezing during the restore of Apps/Data, a reliable workaround is to create and UPDATE.zip of your a) Apps and then b) data with you can flash in TWRP. I downloaded ZipSigner first so that it signs the zip. A bit more work then the way TiBU is used to working, but at least it was able to bring over 400+ apps and 200+ data files.

Hope that helps.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] davidisflash:
Hi Mega, that fails. As mentioned earlier, when I let it attempt to copy the binary, it fails to do so (quickly get red text indicating error, before the screen quickly reboots). Right now I'm on Skyfall ROM. Root works just fine with that one, though this ROM sounds much better...that's why I'm trying to get it to work. Sounds like this ROM has even more optimizations. Thanks again Mega.

I'll try downloading version 2.16 other poster. And no reason to be snarky.

If installing the super su binary manually in recovery doesn't work, I'll just try redownloading the next ROM that comes out and repeat. Who knows, maybe I had a bad download.

---------- Post added at 10:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ----------

I've been updating straight from twrp. Hadn't yet tried your tip about the supersu binary in recovery as I was trying clean with odin, etc. Will try that later on today and let you know (don't have stuff to flash at the moment). It seems I shouldn't have to flash the supersu but doesn't hurt to try since I haven't yet, right? I might as well download the ROM fresh again just to be doubly sure. Thanks again.

How to flash FireKat V14X ROM on Note 5

Ok so the launch date is tomorrow for the Note 5. As bad as we want it we've been holding out since we can't flash FireKat V14X on it. If you're like me, you're on the TM site just starting at the pictures and re-reading what we already know. I know you want to hit that order button, but you keep snapping out of your day dream. But having stared at it long enough, I started to see things....then out of nowhere the same Note 5 picture I've been looking at for hours changed into instructions on how to flash FK V14X onto the Note 5.

Here's what you do. Get your tools out and get ready to get down to business. All you need is a coat hanger, intel core i7 cpu and two sticks of 4GB of RAM.

Next, take out your battery and remove the back cover. While holding the coat hanger with your bare hands, make contact with the phones motherboard and stick the other end of the coat hanger into the wall outlet. This will reflash the device out of Lollipop 5.1.1. so you'll be able to Odin to ANK4 firmware. Don't worry about the shock, it's well worth it. Then you'll need to solder the Intel i7 CPU onto the motherboard. Don't worry where just make contact with it. Next solder the RAM anywhere you can fit it. Put the battery back in and turn on your phone. Odin ANK4 and follow the OP to flash FK onto the device.

You're expected battery life and on screen time will be as follows:

FireKat is such an amazing ROM you'll be able to hit these numbers stock on the stock kernel:

...and...

Enjoy your new Note 5 running FireKat V14X!

You can thank me later or now....it doesn't matter.

I have received my 910T, and updated to FireKat V14.

Have not driven with Waze yet, but it does load and not FC.

I find that Wanam setting for stopping volume notice was not working, but after 2-3 reboots, I think it's working fine now.

First night battery was great already. Used .98% / Hour, with Wifi on, BT on and not Power Saving settings, as instructed. (I don't toggle BT on and off, as I"m on something BT so often).

I do plan to test a couple others as well, PopRocks of course, and I think I'll test a 5.11. I may even try an AOSP, but, I think I'd miss the TW functionality, particulary the PEN capabilities. I'm assuming the selection capabilities of the pen would be gone on an AOSP.

Interestsingly, I'm not sure I notice that much difference in performance. Maybe that improves as well with settling in. But I do still have a bit of a pause on the recents key, not much different from what I was experiencing. Messaging apparently is a slow app. On my stock, as well as this one, there is a good pause when first loading it.

JFYI...the ANTUTU came in about 1K more than my stock, ~ 48.5 vs 49.5.

One question: If I install PopRocks, and have a TWRP backup of this, and ultimately also of PopRocks...can I just switch back and forth, or do I need to flash stock first, etc.?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Nothing with wanam should take more than 1 reboot if done correctly...that's really interesting in almost 18,000 posts your the first to say it's no faster than stock lol...nope odin always between bases

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Haha yea my setup took a nosedive last night...went from 30k to 14k in a reboot...had to reflash at like 5 am but we figured out viper and stock kernel on lp is still a no go lmao

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ewingr:
That's what I would expect. But that is what I experienced. Maybe I did do something wrong, as it's been a year since I've been able to even run Xposed.

First, let me say I appreciate your ROM, and in particular, your obvious excellent support, and demeanor. I've seen some DEVs be so arrogant I couldn't stand to read their threads. Well, one in particular. I really hope my comments didn't offend you.

Regarding performance, I too thought it interesting. Although I didn't say it 'wasn't faster', I said "I didn't notice that much difference". While everyone says you can't really rely on Antutu, I did comment it was 1K faster than the stock load. Now, a couple other things to note regarding that: I did have a lot of the bloat disabled in my stock load; I do have Xposed loaded on this ROM, so if that affects this ROM some, that could contribute to it as well. No Xposed installed on my stock one of course.

I do still have this question: If I install PopRocks, and have a TWRP backup of this, and ultimately also of PopRocks...can I just switch back and forth, or do I need to flash stock first, etc.?

chances are your setup isn't as fast as it should be anyways...but when you flash it next and the time after and get it nailed down then it will be...when you figure out what to disable/greenify, settle in to peak ect....but having to reboot 3 times for xposed ect says there's some other issues going on that you'll work out and nail down for your next clean flash following op/op2
