Rule of thumb in a forum like this is to not ask questions like this, you only open yourself up to being flamed or sounding insulting even if you didn't mean it that way. Like said just try each Rom for a week and this will help you form your best opinions.

Generally each rom thread has its share of fans so only personal use will tell you what you are happy with. What one user finds acceptable may not be to you.

+1 These kind of posts really belong in the General or Q&A Section. Thus avoiding the adverse replies. All Rom preferences boil down to personal choice. Make a backup, flash new Rom, and repeat until you find your niche. Always give the fresh Rom install a few days to settle in before you move on. It's only fair.......

you can't add a lfashlight toggle since the rom doesn't have it in the settings UI

here is how to add it.

this app is the smallest in size and uses the least permissions then any of the others

I've tried (try upon release) every ROM available for the Note 4. I think I know what you're asking....

Anyhow, like others have said, you have to be careful on how you ask these things, because there's a fine line there. ..

Search for my posts. I have several "review like" posts that may be helpful.

Also see...

Post #3909 :)

IMO, FireKat ROM is the best in every category from performance to battery life and everything in between. Hands down. That's my opinion from my own experiences.

---------- Post added at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------

I'm being sarcastic in a joking way .... "Why would you want or need a custom kernel for this ROM? It's an oxymoron yes, but it's totally counterintuitive. The stock kernel outshines every custom kernel to date from what I have seen. It has yet to be proven otherwise."

Unless you're using VR?

See my screen shots at post #3909. Performance benchmarks and battery life. All stock kernel.

I'm getting band 12 here in the Dallas fort worth area on anJ base. Not that I needed it, but it's good to know that your rom works perfectly with it if anyone ever does. Still on version 5 cause I'm too lazy to Odin. :banghead:

Hi Mega have you ever encountered an issue where you cant select to grant or deny an app Superuser permissions ? I get the prompt but cant select grant or deny and then it will say denied after a few seconds. How would i fix this ? All help is appreciated. Thanks

Hey I have tried that with the donation package Greenify latest version 2.5.1 with most of the premium features enabled. Upon greenifying Facebook I no longer receive new message notifications though.

:(

However I have decided to keep all the social apps greenified to get more battery. My last full charge got me over 6 hours of SOT which I would have never gotten on stock firmware!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
When you first flashed and opened Supersu and you get the prompt to update binaries did you hit continue then normal...or did you hit continue then twrp/cwm? As the only root issues have all been by people hitting the wrong option

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] naruto.ninjakid:
Thank you very much. I have figured out my problem. It was lux interfering with SuperSU so if you use Lux or some other overlay app you may not be able to select an option. You have to go into lux and add SUperSU as an exception. THANKS

Just reflashed stock NK7 and flashed this. ROM is flying so far. Great work really appreciate it. Much better improvement Odining to stock first then flashing this than staying on older baseband for me at least.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
OK sweet thanks for passing on the info...Yea I totally agree and noticed it as well myself this last Odin and clean flash which was just out of boredom resetting up v7 I even noticed a difference then...its a hassle but well worth the extra 10 mins imo

Dude, I just want to say thanks for this tip! After I updated to FK version 6, I had been getting slightly higher than normal battery drain, and it continued into version 7 as well. After following this tip, my battery drain is back to minimal as it was in versions 1-5. Those 4 wakelocks are battery drainers for sure!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mattkroeder:
I suppose this may be a bit of an odd and minor issue but for whatever reason, there are some sites in Chrome that won't render links properly on this rom. I am on anj3 v7 Canadian version.

For instance, I have vBulletin forums that I visit quite often and new thread titles are supposed to be bolded and when you click on them, they get "un-bolded" (if that's a word). Anyway, now none of the links are ever bolded now. I thought maybe it's a Chrome issue but this didn't happen on stock TW and didn't happen on a different TW based rom either.

Just curious if anyone knows what I'm talking about and is experiencing this and knows a fix. Thanks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Pick_A_Name:
Have you tried other browsers? What site gives you problems?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mattkroeder:
I've tried the stock TW browser as well as Atlas browser with the same results. As far as I can tell, only vBulletin based forums are affected.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I'm confused how the rom would somehow affect a 3rd party servers website display style across several browsers and only affect a single website? vs it being some issue with the server host itself?

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mattkroeder:
No idea lol. Perhaps it's just something to do with the way it's being rendered on the screen and it just looks off.

I've attached two screenshots to show what I mean. The one with the lighter text is my Note 4 with FireKat v7 and the other is my HTC M8. I only used the M8 has a quick example of what the same site looks like on my Note 4 with stock TW in Chrome.

What differnce am I supposed to be seeing? They're rendering identically...everything looks identical to me what's the issue?

Nvm I had to go to the website you mean it'd highlighted sort of...looks fine on mine...tbh I wouldn't even have noticed something so small and random...did you follow my op instructions? Odin flash stock rom and clean flashed v7?

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Temetka:
Any chance of adding Fire Kat OTA'S so we don't have to clean flash everytime? I totally get your reasoning for being a proponent of clean flashes and I love V7, but the thought of wiping and reloading yet again, well ugh.

I use my phone everyday in server rooms, conference rooms, meetings, etc. It's a real PITA to set aside a few hours to clean flash and reload everything.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No because pushing an update.zip out is no different than you guys simply dirty flashing the rom... and it doesn't make sense to build such an efficient and fast rom then arbitrarily handicap those very things...stability and carry over issues aside

My apologies. I wasn't able to find a sub-forum with threads discussing various ROMs. I saw a general Q&A subforum; but it didn't seem to have much discussion about ROMs. I obviously didn't intend to insult anyone. If anything, I thought possibly, FireKat might be closer to what I'm looking for.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Every time I've had some little quirk, it was traced back to an xsposed module. Amplify causes my calculator to talk back, or so I've been told that's what's doing it. Haven't solved it yet though I was told to turn it off in accessibility settings. Tried it temporarily (although I want Amplify on) and it didn't work. Gravity box caused my sound panel to only display phone volume and nothing else! Was fun tracking that one down...not! Seems all these modules have defaults that change things as soon as you install them rather than letting you go in fresh. Not saying this is what you issue is, but it's worth investigating.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rom fiend:
I had this problem on stock root. Did you do a clean install? Try reflashing in Odin, when I flashed this rom it fixed the problem for me. BTW just a quick shout out to Mega, this is by far the best made rom I have ever ran (running v7) and I've been flashing since my Vibrant!

Edit: To be specific you should never have to manually switch apn. The default should work. Sorry I misread the question at first.

I want to add my work email also. I have an issued Samsung Galaxy Rugby but typing on that has become very difficult after using this Note 4....Lol.

I tested out for the first time today and my phone was draining battery pretty good as well as running a bit warm so I deleted the account wiped cache and then reinstall. The battery drain was not as bad and my phone stopped running so warm also.

But I am curious as to the update intervals you are using for exchange? Right now I have it on Push.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:

Simply

Use FK v7 (thanks Mega) as usual, flash AEL Kernal, and read the xda forum gear vr thread. If you have the means, I highly recommend it. No real way to describe it just have to see it yourself.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MrAwesome75:
I have my Exchange account set to "push" for my peak schedule and off peak set to 15 minutes. I haven't really paid too much attention; all I know is it lasts way longer than stock. I also always have bluetooth, WiFi, location and NFC on. I usually have my bluetooth headset connected while listening to podcasts and music for at least a few hours per day. I also have my Gear S connected all day. Along with moderate to heavy usage I easily get 18 to over 24 hours total. SOT is anywhere from 3 to 6 hours with around 4 to 5 hours of podcast listening.

So I don't think push has much impact on battery life. I also never notice any abnormal heating.

This 10 post min is tough when you are a person of few words, few questions, and not much help. But finally got here and have to say this, when I first got my Note 4 this was the first ROM flashed to it. I've been through my fair share these past 3 months (has it only been 3 months?) and right now I'm running V7. This thing is butter.

With all the hype of Lollipop, having had it on my Nexus 5, on my Nexus 7, I really dont see the desire to jump to it on this device when it come out. It will be fun to see your ROM and I know you can make it better, but I might just have to wait a couple versions.

Or not, I'll probably flash every ROM for the next 6 months. LOL.

Anywho lots of words just to say thumbs up and thanks.

WANAM?

Im just wondering if anyone has this problem or knows a fix or anything. I activate "skip tracks with vol -/+" in wanam and it works for a little while. Then all of a sudden days or weeks later the buttons stop responding and they no longer skip tracks, just work for regular volume up/down. I try to reactivate the mod through wanam but it never sticks again. This is one of my favorite mods and cant stand it when this doesnt work. please any help would be great.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Little heads up so far on v8 progress...given where v7 stands any improvement was doubtful I'll be honest...so i went ahead and essentially rebuilt the build...the rendering has def sped up even further... and I've really focused on the camera as that's one of the only other place to get any real further improvements tbh and the camera turned out awesome on v8...so v8 will be a essentially refinement of v1 thru v7, slightly snappier, just as fast and efficient with an even better camera as it stands after reworking it now...have a couple other ideas for things I wanna try then I'll prolly upload it tonight or tomorrow

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chrisrj28:

Quick question: Does v8 have the scripts you included in FireKat v13 for the Note 3? Those scripts really made a big difference.

8 hours of SOT???

what is up with all y'all with these insane SOT's??? I'm barely able to crack 5 hrs of SOT and i'm not alone. What are you guys doing not using a single phone call? lol

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chrisrj28:
What are these scripts for?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
I'm curious as well. With my Note 3 I easily got 8+ hours of SOT every charge, but on my Note 4 with the exact same set up I can barely break 6. Is it the extra resolution of the screen? Is the Snapdragon 805 not as efficient as the 800? Hidden settings I'm missing that would improve battery life? Perhaps using my T-Mobile Note 4 on AT&T is killing my battery because it's not optimized for their network? Or maybe my battery is simply defective?

My Note 4 gets me through a full day and then some, but I felt more "comfortable" with my Note 3 knowing that I could easily go 2+ days on a charge if I forgot to charge it or something.

Performance/battery life. They made a HUGE difference on my Note 3.

Lmao you're not alone? Your setup will determine your battery life... so yea everyone's individual setup will determine their given battery life...but the rom at minimum will give 5 hours at full brightness...i get 4.5 to 5 hours of full brightness over 36 hours using a cpu controller min clock at 1400ghz...it's simply controlling your apps so they don't kill the battery there is no trick i laid it all out in op2

There are no "scripts" in any of my builds...I guess the tethering mod (and actual kitchen/tool based scripts like zip align root ect) aside as I put it together externally but that's for the N4. ...the only external additions were the touch controller ripped from n4 so obviously it's in these builds...and the apks...??
