Anyone answer this?

I deleted the system app "Google search" and reinstalled from the play store to make it a user app.

Now I no longer have the option to have it listing from "any screen" or "while device is locked"

Both of those options are missing.

Thoughts?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Those are only system app functions...when you convert or install from the play store you don't get the option...there may be a mod of some type idk but that's normal...tho nova has it anyway if your using that

I feel like my battery life was not what it has been on other roms, android system using second most battery at 19%, screen is 28% (on auto), android os 12%, 9 hours on battery down to 55%. Screen on time 2hours 5 mins maybe this is normal but im curious about google sync which was enabled under accounts is the fix simply unchecking google+ sync? I don't use anyway.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
Yes.. I am using Nova. The Google app when it's a system app is murdering my battery. As a user app it's not
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] thebluecoat:
Megalo,

I followed your advice using twrp to fix permissions and then attempted to reinstall swiftkey english language pack, still no success. Unable to save language pack to storage.

I came from the latest dynamic kat rom I wiped everything except external sd, then flashed this rom.

Could you or someone else just humor my issue and try downloading SwiftKey and then attempting to install the English language packand see if they'd get an error.

do you have any further recommendations
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
You didn't odin flash ank4?....you have to odin flash if coming from another rom becuase several don't wipe off entirely from the system...if you follow the op steps there are no issues with the rom dude you'll be good to go

Yea works fine I have swiftkey and all 9 themes on my setup as usual

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
exactly that's the problem with all Google apps lately outside of Gmail and youtube...especially gnow just crushes the battery...i have the screenshots I'm about to post from my note 12.2...i changed 1 thing...voice on any screen and then turned off...was almost 2 (1 hr 47 mins) hours cut off screen on time...on a 9000 map battery...i just turn off gnow altogether on my phones tbh

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] thebluecoat:
I must have miss read the installation instructions I thought it said coming ank 4 base the choice is yours that other rom was Ank4. I hope I don't have to odin STOCK ank 4, then root again, then flash this rom lolol, is that what I should do though?

I appreciate your time and lightning fast responses in this matter
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
You just said you came from dynamic....i don't build dynamic and it's known to have issues if you don't odin before flashing firekat...yea you need to odin ank4 the op instructions aren't arbitrary...only said that if you have odin flashed clean then setup firekat v8 you don't have to odin to V9 but you have to odin between someone else's rom and mine

Plus the flip side is if you have an issue def odin flash and start over cuz there shouldn't be any...

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] thebluecoat:
I don't believe I read your instructions as "arbitrary" as I didnt in my on head feel as though I followed my own directions. I also said misread which is MY fault, I wasnt saying misread either your directions were pretty sound as it was, wasnt insinuating that you were not clear either . I know also you do not build the dynamic rom, I was only posting information that may help towards the resolve of my issue. I cant help but feel as though my issue is aggravating to you as the developer because im having an issue with an issueless rom. Ill do my best going forward with given information. Thanks OP for helping a noob.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kamkid279:
Coming from v7, going to v9, do I need to Odin ank4 again? Or can I just flash from recovery? Should I flash v8 than v9? Thanks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No not at all man...don't feel anything whichever way lol...there's no sort of backhand in my post or anything just making sure to clarify...lol don't feel bad about asking anything that's why the thread is here the chit chat is extra lol...no issues bit isn't a slap in thr face it's a benchmark so you know when everything's installed right after running into some...no worries just run thru odin let it sort your base...clean flash v9 and you'll be set

Mega

Lol I reread the arbitrary line and it comes off assh*lish lol my bad It wasn't actually intended to be....idk how else to say it without sounding jsut as di*k lol...like I didn't put 1 thru 4 in the op pointlessly? lol still sounds di*k but you get the point lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
You shouldn't have to Odin unless you really want to. That's only if you're coming from another ROM. Just wipe everything (except internal/external storage) a few times and flash V9. There's no need to flash V8 first.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol no need to flash v8 then v9...and odin isn't necessary if coming from another firekat build on ank4 like v7 or v8...you can just advanced wipe and clean flash...you'll be set ...enjoy bro

Just installed the newest FK9 after odin to ank4. Well battery is awesome but most of the time the screen will not turn off by it self. So I am having to turn it off my self. This was not happening in FK5 (the last version I was on.)

Can anyone verify they are on volte not sure but it looks like they did away with any visual notification that you are making a call on volte ie "HD call" I have always been on volte with Note3 but since the note 4 i have no way to tell anymore. Can you post a screenshot of your apn if you verified your on volte. Thinking maybe something got missed.

Does anyone use CyberGhost VPN by chance? Every server I connect to, I get a message that Anonymity Test Failed, but I try on my gf's note 4 which is NOT rooted, and it worked fine. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
There's no trick...Greenify your downloaded apps because those are the only things that bring down my roms standard battery efficiency...there's no trick tho...simply control the background running apps that you download with greenify and let the rom do the rest...turn off power saving as well

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] elite-fusion:
Never used greenify before, so not sure what the heck that is lol but I shall research.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
You can't expect to get great battery life when you downlaod a ton of apps then just let then constantly run in the background regardless how efficient my roms are...you have to take a measure of control and greenify does exactly that...which is why it's in the op2 optimal setup instructions...Greenify simply puts apps to sleep vs letting them run in the background sucking battery life and mining data

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Amd4life:
I had to go back to stock rooted (jovys) to get openVPN to connect again. Something has occurred in the tweaks in the 2nd updates of all three custom roms (using stock kernel) that has broken the VPN connectivity. Well at least in my testing of all the roms. VPN access is mandatory at my job, so it's always a big necessity on my devices.

Joy stock rooted, or go back to the 1st release of this rom, and it should work fine.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] freshverse:
Mega this question is directed at you. So i've already asked a lot of questions about "clean" flashes. I did some research in this massive thread and didn't find anything that explains my question. I am currently using v8 and would like to flash to v9. I have a backup of chainfire root ank4. If I do a full clean and reboot, then recover into my chainfire root ank4 backup. I will be able to clean flash v.9 from the chainfire backup correct?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mrnovanova:
Canadian firmware is no longer j3 it's AO1 btw and Mega hasn't decompiled it yet. That's what we're, well I'm waiting for.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] force70:
Your already on the rom...no need to do anything with nk4.

Factory reset

Then in adv wipe system,data,cache and dalvik then flash v9.

This is in the OP which you should read dude...only need to odin Nk4 if coming from another rom and no your backup wouldnt have been useful if coming from another rom.

Restoring a backup does not replace flashing fresh firmware via odin.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ElMadre:
One thing I really miss from CM is the long-press recent apps to switch to last used app. Is there a way to get that function, whether through Xposed or otherwise?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I'm not entirely sure I follow 100% what you're asking...but like force said...if your on firekat v8 you don't need to odin ank4 stock...it won't hurt anything by any means and is only beneficial if you do...but restoring a backup of anything in twrp is never gonna be the equivalent of odin flashing...and a clean flash merely means all data is wiped in twrp prior to flashing

So i know it can be a little confusing...but odin on your pc is only ever for stock rom flashing and root/recovery

Twrp cannot flash stock roms

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shook187:
I know this is considered blasphemy, but I dirty flashed without any issues. V9 is performing as it should.

Just thought I'd throw that out there for those who are considering dirty flashing.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea there actually shouldn't be any issues per se doing a dirty dalvik/cache flash... it's just doesn't run or perform as well...it's repeatedly shown to be lower performance and a noticable difference in battery life of around 1 hour screen on time...thats without the surrounding issues of dirty flashing aside like a best case scenario...basically if you clean flashed v8 and dirty flash v9 the improvements are somewhat void relative to two clean flashes...that's why I always recommend clean flashing just to get the most out of the build

First impressions after first full day:

I did a clean flash and recalibrated battery right before this result.

Additionally it's important to say, that I run Google Play Music via Bluetooth radio over the whole working day while driving.

Also I have the Gear 2 connected over BT.

I think this result is just awesome for the first charge and I didn't notice any single lag. But is there any way to minimize battery drain by Android System?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Recalibrated the battery? The rom won't settle into full battery efficiency or performance for 3 or 4 charge cycles...yea the system will naturally settle just check out op2

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sefrcoko:
Mega, do you just need someone to deodex the new Canadian firmware (say, through archikitchen) and then upload the flashable deodexed zip to androidfilehost or something like that? If so I can do that, if not, ignore my ridiculous post lol :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Mephistd:
I read it and use those changes since my Note 2. ;)

Additionally I use Amplify to reduce unwanted wakelocks. I have battery drain by system since several weeks - even with the Rom before and don't know why. No uncommon wakelocks nor high CPU freq. I searched in several threads, used all information I found and even reduced the CPU to min (with terrible performance) but in the end the system still remains the highest battery sucker. :-\

On FK I got the best between performance and battery life, but I'm still looking for any solution for that process. ^^
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ojai00:
This happened to me once. You may have removed Google TTS. If it's not removed, try removing and reinstalling from the Play Store to make it a user app.

You have to enable it in Wanam. I don't have it installed right now so can't get you the exact settings. It's something like additional SMS settings.

Dude, this ROM is sooooo sick. I'm loving it. So fast and snappy. I tried to flash the V8 without doing the whole Odin and things weren't peachy. lol Then I was restoring things wrong in TB. After knowing what to restore and following your directions to a T, this thing is super fast and slick. I haven't flashed since Galaxy S2 when ClockworkMod was still the defacto recovery. Things are easier now.

I use my phone all day and I need a charge right before bed, like around 12am. Zero issues. Youtube is now showing things up to 1440p by hooking up the build.prop file and no issues with S Pen. Before, S Pen would hang when trying to write on the screen or not even work at all. But all S Pen functions are perfect now. Antutu is like 49400. I only have SetCPU matching what you initially said in like OP2. Greenify everything and followed your setup like you said.

I don't even want to think about V10 because things are perfect right now. Clearing out my recent apps also shows 1.60GB free unlike before when it would be 2.12GB. Def debloated.

But check out the pics for my setup. Thanks so much Mega. You're mad helpful.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea that would speed it up a ton...literally just the basic deodex/zipalign/root...cuz I won't have time till this weekend to do it myself otherwise prolly Friday...but if you pull the deodex I can build firekat in a few hours and push it out...would be hella appreciated lol and I'm guessing everyone else would be as well haha
