Yes! Indeed haha....

Battery:

V6 seems to have a slightly slower battery drain rate (On Stand By) as it retains its charge pretty well when on standby. I've averaged ~5.5 hours of On Screen Time on V6 at 50%-75% Brightness, consistently with heavy use. V5, however still holds the crown for my best averages of On Screen Time and Stand By. V6 just feels like there is a little extra going on in the background when in use compared to V5. Kind of hard to explain, but.... it just feels like the engine belt is turning other things as well in the background.

Speed:

Ever so slightly....but, V6 does feel a little snappier overall. Not enough to notice though. Apples to Apples. V5 feels a lot lighter with its overall operation vs V6 though. Man I don't know haha....it's so close.... For example it's as if V5 has more horsepower and a little less torque and V6 has a little less horsepower and a little more torque. Does that make sense?

(This is the best way I could summarize comparing twins that are twins.)

They both feel identical in almost every way. Having been so used to V5, which was my most refined set up yet, V5 was a lot friendlier with all my security stuff. (Which is pretty much irrelevant to 99.9% of FK users) V6 seems a little sticky, but IT'S NOT THE ROM, but merely my set up. I'm thinking of reflashing back to V5 and importing all my settings as it ran flawlessly on V5.

For anyone that uses the phone like a normal person and not like a crazy person like me.....I would recommend to go with V6 as it is a forward progress with the evolution of this ROM. But, for people who use any security "stuff," like a VPN for example, stay on V5 for now. I know a lot of folks use tethering, but I can assure you that WiFi Tether Router works flawlessly on V6 so that's not even an issue worth mentioning.

Either way....can't go wrong....:highfive:

Main thing I have noticed with NK4 is a bit more stable cellular data connection. [Should note I'm on AT&T though]

The V6 ROM is awesome as well. The standby time is great.

Thanks!

Awesome run down as usual bro...I've had a similar experience...almost expecting to jsut go back to my v5 backup that we perfect but v6 is essentially identical with slightly better battery life basically...

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] fadi33:
I know I have mentioned this before, but why not make this ROM with all the optimizations in op2 built into the ROM itself. No need to install and activate xposed/wanam, no need to fix permission, all animation and location history/reporting configured to the correct settings, etc. At most, we just need to greenify whatever apps we would like. Even remove all the google apps that you recommend to disable from the rom and allow us to install whichever gApps we want like gmail, hangouts, etc. This way all those apps are user apps and can be greenified right away instead of using titanium backup to convert the system apps to user apps. Just a suggestion, this way there is less chances of users missing a step and choosing the wrong options. I know most of us know about to perform these steps, I myself have been installing custom roms since the PPC6700 days, but the less work out of the box, the better i think. Or maybe just have a 2nd version of the ROM with everything already customized.

Either way, I thoroughly enjoy this ROM and love the battery life. Really do appreciate all the work you have done. Thanks a bunch Mega.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
If i wanted the roms that way they would be like that...you act like everyone runs their setup the exact same or even do every step...many people don't like .5x animations...or use the Google apps ect...so for every one of you that complain about having to do a few settings after flashing a rom...others would cry about having to adjust them to stock...and for the last time there are zero issues in thr build itself fixing permissions is only needed by those who don't follow the instructions and have issues not part of the normal routine...I've never had to fix permissions nor have I had a single force close that's all user issues

It's not like the steps are difficult dude...i appreciate the feedback... it's only slightly insulting to be like awe ya dude just do another build so we can be even lazier when setting up the rom...no biggie...but it'd be much better than having to do a couple steps that takes a whole 2 mins or so and all instructions laid out but would be way better if you'd just carry several rom builds so people don't have to even bother just going into the settings...

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] fadi33:
It's not an insult or about being lazy, its about reducing the chances of people missing a step or making a mistake. instead of asking everyone if they followed op2, since thats the best setup, take that mistake out of their hands, and have the ROM already setup perfectly. this way if the end user is having any problems, they can see where a mistake was made with their post rom install setup since the op2 settings have already been made. like i said, it was just a suggesting, not any way to be insulting.

Great Rom mega, been rocking v5 with outstanding stability and battery life!

Have a question regarding "Ok Google" hot word detection: I know, i know Google is the devil and will kill my battery, but what am I going to with my battery anyway when I put it on the charger at midnight with 50% left because of this ridiculously efficient rom :D

It works for me fine on the home screen but not while the screen is off. I did some digging and and in the settings menu of google now, under "Ok Google Detection" the only option is "From Google Search app". It seems that the other options (from any screen, from lockscreen) are missing.

Could someone please check their google now settings and verify whether they are the same? Thanks!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
You converted to user app and greenified it...once you converted it you lose the voice search from any screen function...that's the only thing that changes

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mbonus:
Man you nailed it, I did convert it with tibu and greenified. Well I'll be downloading the Ank4 base and and start over from scratch. Thanks again pal, that had me scratching my head!

re: setting up a perfect rom

I got a great idea, why not cook up your own custom rom, start your own rom thread and set

up the rom up exactly as you have described making sure that everything is perfect in the rom?

That way no one like you will come a long and complain about it! LOL

Have a great day and a Merry Happy holiday season.

Does anyone have a good NK4 firmware download? The one in the firmware thread is broken.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] fadi33:
I have a better idea, i just wont make a suggestion in this thread as it looks like only a few group of users are allowed to say anything without it being taken offensive. As I said, it was just merely a suggestion in what I thought can be useful. Not a demand or taken a shot at the ROM or Mega. and nor am i disappointed that Mega wont do it. Like i said, just a suggestion.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GatoL0c0:
Your suggestion has a flaw in that...not everyone uses the exact same setup. There is not a single ROM that I know of that sets everything up for the user to be "exactly like the OP instructs" so to think that would be an option is a pipe dream.. That's just not ever gonna happen. Try not to take offense but some ideas/suggestions just aren't the best. Nothing personal, just a fact of life. Enjoy the ROM.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sefrcoko:
With respect, the steps in OP2 are simply Mega's preferences that he kindly shares with us. For those who are interested it takes 10 minutes to do. For those who prefer a different setup, simply do your own thing like choosing not to freeze Google Play Books if you use it, etc. Suggestions are always welcome here but that doesn't mean they will always be implemented. Let's all take a deep breath and continue enjoying this fantastic rom!

P.S. I got my N910W8 a few weeks ago and held off on rooting...until last night :). Followed all instructions in OP1 and now I'm rocking this awesome v6 with no issues at all. Can't even imagine what it will be like once it settles in. Best. Rom. I. Have. Ever. Tried. Thanks Mega for the awesome work and for showing us Canadians some love!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cbmggm:
Rather than going back and forth getting flamed, defending your comments, etc. you might have been better off sending a PM to Mega thus avoiding these types of postings. What Mega has done with his Rom is nothing less than outstanding. The least you can do is invest some of your own time tweaking to your liking. If you only knew how much time a Dev spends on a Rom of this caliber for our enjoyment.

Rant over.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] fadi33:
I was just merely asking if he can make the rom with his settings in op2 since that is the optimal configuration. i dont understand why ppl are acting like im asking him to make the rom to my custom settings. i didnt ask to add a font, a theme, a kernel, etc, just SUGGESTING if it would be possible to have those settings already baked in. cause whenever a person has an issue, first thing he asks is if he followed op2. so i thought if all those settings that Mega suggest we follow to have the optimal settings were already in, it would be easier to troubleshoot the problem.

And yes I understand he doesnt have to implement my suggesting, but dont say im being lazy or selfish of asking to have the rom to my specifics, when im asking to have the rom even more finely tuned to his specs. thats all. i was just suggesting, not demanding anything. a simple "no, going to keep the rom this way" is fine with me.

Search is your friend. Mega had said repeatedly there is no tethering cooked into v6 but will be back in v7. Oy

Mega said maybe v7 would be uploaded yesterday or today, I will suggest you wait to compare it with v7.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GatoL0c0:
If you had used search, you'd see that tethering was not enabled in V6 plus your answer regarding flashing v5 from v6 more or less was also answered. This is partly why our patience is being tested. It seems no one even attempts to search for anything. Including the questions on where to find the ank4 stock ROM as multiple links to multiple sources have been posted. /rant over

Granted the day's not over but I'm wondering what I might have going on. I don't feel blown away by battery life like I did on V4. I'm not blaming the rom, just trying to identify what's up. I have wakelock detector and nothing seems unusual. SetCPU set accordingly. Everything greenified, etc. Black background with my screen brightness kept at about 50% throughout my day. No crazy new apps other than a couple zooper widgets. These batt stats aren't bad but not crazy impressive like some I've seen on the thread. I got almost 2 days on v4 at one point. I've had the v5 for about 4 or 5 days. I assume that's considered settled in? Any suggestions? Again, not blaming the rom just not sure what might be the reason.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
Awesome, if you need testers let me know. I'll be patiently waiting for the build and I won't ask for an ETA.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Not sure what you're asking? You're in line for 5 hours screen on? Still at 47% so that's gonna affect your standby time more than anything

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] paulie_gogetit:
So those are respectable stats? Whenever people say 5hr screen time I thought they meant full brightness. I trust your word obviously. What do most people use as screen brightness? Anything over 65% makes my eyes squint!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea the rom itself clean flashed will give at least 5 hours screen on full brightness as the standard but your Setup will alter it alot...and setup depending but just between v5 and v6 google updated every app and services...let alone any of your other apps...every update literally alters your stats...good apps very little. ..Google apps drastically decrease battery every update

5 hours on full brightness is the benchmark set by this ROM, which is excellent. I'm averaging 5.5 hours right now with 75% brightness with heavy use. I turn it down to 50% occasionally if I'm inside somewhere.
