This is just a general heads up going out across all my threads...if you have experienced random massive drain of around 30% it seems that one of the gnow/Google services back doing what google does best...ruin our experience lol... as that seems to be the root cause...i did nothing with my n3 for 12 hours and my mega for 24 hours as I have heard a few questions across all 5 live threads about this drain...my n4 hasn't experienced it but my n3 and Mega did...all I did to fix it was update google now app and reboot..

No need reflash it's nothing you did or could affect in the rom...google just sucks...this is back to "normal wakelocks" and battery life. ..but seriously google now 5000 wake locks...? What the actual F?

Mega

Before fix

96% awake/drain

After updating gnow Gmail and rebooting

Lol Lotta business about the internal wipe situation lol...here's it to yas strait lol...4.4.4 is Hella complex...up until lollipop it was the most secure android ever...basically the only additions over 4.4.2 were slower animations and security....twrp has to circumvent Selinux, Knox, Knox recovery trip etc...to unmount your storage, format, and remount the file system...it may never adequately do it anymore...

So I suggest a normal format thru the storage settings like usual if you wanna wipe your internal storage...

Someone asked about wiping then Odin flashing which in theory should work but that's so many additional steps I'm not sure I would personally bother for wiping storage which only gain you...literal storage lol...remember fellas this is all flash memory it's not like an old pc that you'll have to run defrag on anytime soon hahahaah[emoji106]

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
Thanks for the great explanation! So since I actually did go thro that whole preliminary wiping stage (in twrp factory reset/format data/advance wipe everything in op1+internal storage) before following op1 step by step, should I be fixing the permissions now? I'm not even sure what permissions it will fix or what effect wil it have on FireKat :S
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No not necessarily....like I said if you Odin ank4 in theory it should void any issue wiping the internal storage has caused...you'll know when you boot if you have any issues installing apps or xposed. ..you should be fine

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Rayan:
In my case with every other ROM (including FireKat) the only thing that drains my battery is the dreaded IndexService which somehow keeps running in the backround for days with no end... Now every time I flash, I immediately freeze such service with no apparent issues.

Cheers!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
Ah okay because that's exactly what I did and I was able to boot up fine with no issues! So in conclusion, you can do so it's just extra tedious steps! Thanks for the confirmation Mega! :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] champoi:
Yea I had noticed that also before updating the apps and it's better now. I was freaking out about gmail cause it was a lot higher than it should have been. Lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Well at first I figured eh odd app or clean flash...but when it was over in n3 and mega roms where guys have flashed 30 to 40 updates over the course of a year or two respectively...also both being 4.4.2 with much less complex systems...in particular my mega i use as guage as its an intl unlocked device on 4.4.2...if something hits that randomly...it's widespread lol

I honestly don't know how Google is so crap...it blows my mind...they wouldn't approve most other apps if they performed as bad as Google own apps and services do...cuz my n3 fk setup is usually at 1 to 3% wl....not 99% hahaha

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] champoi:
Nah, for me, all the rumors of the device was like eh, but the actual product announcement made me want it. I thought the Edge was silly at the time and I still think so, but it was the improved S Pen support that sold me and the better writing conditions, plus a much better chassis. The ridiculously amazing screen (resolution and Corning Gorilla glass, what, 4?) is icing on the cake. Looks like they're going the all metal, closed off battery route too, so the next note I might not be able to open... So I don't know about that idea. Imma hang on to this as long as possible. Lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Gotta remove my reco as I got further into X locker I realized he didn't actually compile them together instead they link to separate apps...stick with og lol LG Optimus lock screen...it's 1 app with every effect you could want but s5 particle effect

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] theeze:
If the Note 4 was anything near what Mega has done with firekat. The note 4 would have kicked ass in tech review sites. The stock experience was pretty average, the improved s-pen, the better camera, the insane battery life. Things Samsung would have loved to have from their initial reviewers.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Not gonna lie had twrp not dropped before my 2 weeks was up this note was going back...I was not impressed at all coming from a decked out n3 to the stock n4...now 10 builds later looking down from the other end on ostensibly one of the fastest devices ever launched in the mobile world with the best camera ever attached to a phone and an s pen it's a heck of a lot easier to say I love it lol...but I wasn't immediately sold on the design an feel and combined with the stock performance and utter disappointment at the same 5.7 inch screen size which was nearly a deal breaker for me. .. I was seriously debating returning it but thankfully twrp came and let me flash v1 and all worked out in then end for everybody lol

Heads up fellas...last chance to get your entry in for the raffle for the gear circle smart headphones tonight....the raffle will happen around 10/1030...So the cutoff is about 1.5/2 hours...

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SiNJiN76:
So it seems that the lag problem I mentioned with Direct Input had something to do with Samsung's system apps. 'Froze' a bunch and the animation is butter. It also eliminated lag I had dragging icons onto the Home Screen in Nova.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
It's doesn't make any sense that you would gain anything from freezing a stock app unless a mod or something was negatively impacting it tbh...otherwise it shouldve run presumably how it is now...I've never had lag in tw man let alone my nova setup...glad it's better but it doesn't add up for the actual source of the issue

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SiNJiN76:
Yeah, I don't know either. It happens on Stock NK4 also. :eek: Surely it's just my device.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No I doubt it because your flashing a standard software on identical hw so the additive effects should be the same...yes of course but stock sucks lol that's why I built fk to erase that and ime and from the feedback we see 99% across the board it shouldn't be there anymore... so my guess is it's something in your setup...an app or a mod...you freeze apps so you have tb if you restore anything that's been causing serious issues etc...my first guess is your setup before I'd look to the device ime

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SiNJiN76:
I'm on the verge of going clean slate soon. I'll see what happens with nothing added.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea for sure man...my suggestion is always that when in doubt...try a setup run thru Odin the whole deal...test xyz on stock fk clean after op2 to get an idea before it settled in what it is like...you typically can tell right around that time after getting your settings done and turning off gpu rendering etc. ..that's when I usually decide how much a given rebuild has improved over the previous...then install your known apps that aren't in question...then a little at a time...tbh usually you can skip to the mods of you use them as they're much more likely to conflict or cause trouble as they're much more invasive that a given app...then slowly add your mods etc. ..typically tho just skipping a dirty flash or tb restore will sort the issue...Def keep me posted [emoji106]

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] champoi:
I need to refresh my thoughts. lol A good ROM can make me forget things. I really did like all the things about the Note 4, the S Pen improvements and all that jazz, the feel of the writing and shortcuts for the Action thingie, BUT I really didn't like the software... it was SLOWER, though in theory it shouldn't have been, and crashed a LOT. That's actually what made me flash a ROM on this Note versus the N3. I ran that rooted on stock and was happy, but N4 was like, WHAT THE HECK?! lol And I kinda forgot all that since I started rockin this ROM. It makes you forget all the badness from before. lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lazer9:
I had terrible luck running Facebook's Messenger app back on my GS4. It would literally suck the life out of my battery like 10%+ drain per hour even with it closed, not being used, and screen off. Just my experience...

--------------------------------------------------------------

[MENTION=4482311]Y2Ne1[/MENTION] I must apologize to you. I believe I was the MAIN reason you created the "themed bobcat version" of FireKat as I was requesting a way to flash the bobat theme in your OP in the "themes" section. I also feel bad that it caused this feeling with Mega yet I understand his point of view. Also, I apologize that you did put the work into this but as I noted back to you, had already clean flashed and setup Mega's V10 release and added all my apps, settings, and accounts, ect... so never got around to trying it. Again my apologies to both you and [MENTION=5451734]megalomanic14[/MENTION] :crying: All I was really hoping for was an "Addon" as previously released on my GS4 for example with said theme and compatible for "Touchwiz" based Roms then. But you did explain how this would be next to impossible as a separate add-on due to the complexity of the Note4, theme, and different base.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Thanks for filling me in...no worries...we have sorted it out...i understood what he was trying to do after he explained it...like I said I wouldn't think anything more of it no worries but thanks for explaining

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lazer9:
Appreciate the understanding on how it happened. I know I was the key person who persuaded him to create the FireKat w/BobCat theme as mentioned and although I deeply appreciate his work he put into it, I completely understand the point - both sides. I'm glad you guys got it sorted. I hate causing two talented devs to have such a disagreement/issue....

On another note, lol... Been at this new job all week and finally finding time to catch up on this thread. Good stuff posted since I've been around. Now I see I have to re-review OP #2 as you mentioned you updated your recommendations - performance - battery - ect... suggestions! :good:

Always appreciate your time and work on this ROM and your prompt support and acknowledgement to users. Honestly, I can't think of any other dev who has the ability to keep up with the actual thread posts like you do. Kudos! :highfive:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lmao dude happens to me all the time...when I start taking the roms for granted I run the odin stock for about 27 seconds lmao

There's a bunch of stupid changes in the software I'll be honest...i didnt even touch on that side of it lol...

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GatoL0c0:
Coming from a Galaxy S3, the Note 4 was beyond good enough.

I had a heavily modded Note 3 and came to the Note 4 anyways lol :silly:

Oh, and by the way Odining back to stock and reflashing V10 fixed my Xposed problems. Good call mega :good: Next time I'm bored I'll find something else to do other than reinstall V10 for no reason.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] force70:
I still have a heavily modded note 3 (and 2) running LP but dont mess with it much...note 4 is hard to put down lol.

The 4 makes the 3 seem cheap. Sammy really hit one out of the park in regards to build quality on the 4 and it just looks so nice lol.

sent from Canada via my Note 4, 3, 2 or S3

Hey guys,

V10 is awesome for me so far but I am getting a huge wakelock from Chrome.

8 hours of keep awake over a 24 hour period - Alarmmanager and "multiplexing-gcm" are what is shown as the wakelocks under wakelock detector.

Any ideas?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea I made a post a page or two back about updating google apps....convert to user app and Greenify also works well

Air Wake Up - Accessibility

Hey everyone!

Does anyone use the air wake up and/or gestures feature to save there button pressing (long term breaking them) or is it a huge waste of battery? If one likes to use it, can he convert it to user app or no because its a system app and can cause instability?

Thanks :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PlatinumNick:
base on my experience and what ive read its a HUGE battery Hog and you cant change something like that into a user app because it might mess up some other stuff its connected to.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PlatinumNick:
Wow I love when my phone sleeps like a baby over night efficient Rom and set up.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GatoL0c0:
Additionally, I'm assuming you want to convert it into a user app to Greenify it? Not sure if that's a good idea but...

Just wanted to point out that you don't want to Greenify an app that you want to actively use. As an example, if you Greenify your texting app, you won't get any notifications until you turn your screen on.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
Damn have you guys ever had these before? They're pretty damn good

I don't like alcohol but these are actually pretty bearable.

Edit- although this was taken in my car, I wasn't driving while drinking it. I was sitting in my car waiting for this place to open so I could sit there for 2 hours and do nothing for this stupid bull**** class I'm taking. I love my cars too much to put them at risk like that
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lazer9:
Stupid question but regarding the updating of google apps to help with battery drain, should we assume we are current if nothing lists in playstore/apps as requiring update or may I have missed specific instructions to get to latest versions.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol butch Is in the other thread bro no worries lol [emoji106]

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Right make sure you reboot after all Google apps are updated...then it's just a matter of adjusting to the worse "drain" than they normally had even before...gnow is killing thru like 3500x wake locks a day...Google just sucks

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
You never know. Someone in here might be a cop too.

This thing for my class is stupid. I have to tutor noobs on how to use a computer but they didn't prepare me at all. They just said show at some random building and help them. They didn't tell me what I'd be teaching them or anything. So far we've only had one person show up and I've just been sitting here for the last hour browsing XDA on my phone. Saturdays are my day to sleep until 3pm so I tried taking a nap on the desk but it's not very comfortable....

PS mega I tried sending you a PM but stupid Tapatalk says there's no such user as megalomaniac14 and when I click on your post and say "send user pm" Tapatalk crashes so I guess I'll send it to you when I get home if I remember.

First I know I have advanced services on... But I have been having a weird battery drain the past few days. I have posted a pic of what my device consumes over night when fully charged, unplugged, and left alone all night till I woke up in the morning. Trying to find out if the numbers in the pic below are normal or if their might be something amiss in the system. I'm pulling a 48783 antutu also, so I'm not real sure where that sounds amount you guys, but that's pretty high in general. Sorry for the long post and thanks for your guys help. P. S. If have read op2 and follow them religiously

Edit I decided to run antutu again and I pulled the highest I ever seen a nice 49408, this rom is sick man, just freaking awesome, should not even be worried about a weird battery issues, this ROM is flying. Great work man
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I don't use hardly any of the sensor based gestures except the pen hover (I turn pen hover magnification off tho which is 4th on the checklist)...not really for the battery issues but for the annoyance because ime the one that I actually think is cool never really works lol...the lock screen notification sensor that you wave your hand over the screen and it shows your lock screen...except it only seems to trigger when I DON'T want it to lol and never worked when I DID attempt it properly lmao. ..so I found it'd far easier to click a button...and if by saving the button you mean physically?...here's a picture of my note 1 now coming on 4 years later and the buttons feel the same as they always have tbh

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
That's pretty much perfect...your red % is under 10% that's always the end goal

Remember the total awake= screen on and awake time

If you had weird high drain like in the past 4 days I just posted about the Google apps drain last night...

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rscottjr1987:
Now I want to get it below 5 percent, your stats are awesome, a typical day use for me is mostly college related (one note for taking notes, xda to read forms, feedly for reading news stories, sometimes a little youtube or Netflix, aquamail for checking emails, and a whole lot of Google music sometimes. What on that list do you thing I can either change to a different app or settings do u think I can use to get to 5 percent?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Ime Google apps are the worst drains there are...I immediately shut Google music down...I use have all my music stored on the SD card and play thru stock player or poweramp but occasionally use milk music...but really just altering something small like your email sync intervals or ensuring location history and ads are shut off in gnow etc

Other than that your normal battery life should be killer and I'm not a big proponent of stripping down features or shutting of functions...I pretty much just use my note really and let it be from here

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rscottjr1987:
I'm streaming all my music though a google play pass I pay for, if their is something better I would switch just don't know of anything worth it out their, and I manually check everything just about on my phone, (email, hangout messages, xda, feedly) everything but text and phone calls.

The cranberry one is the best one!!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Goldenakin:
I mean if keeping it is important since you paid for it then try to counteract whatever battery draw it has. Undervolt if you can, underclock, change the governor, do anything system wide that will equal less power draw. Does it really matter the awake time/percentage when your battery life increased otherwise?
