Sweet ROM's never had any OTAs. You're encouraged to clean-wipe/install each iteration. The closest thing there is to an 'OTA' is a dirty flash combined with a cache/dalvik wipe. Having said that, you'll usually encounter issues dirty-flashing -- just read through the thread: a LOT of people who've done a dirty-flash encounter weird issues.

I used to dislike having to do a full-wipe/flash but it doesn't really take that much longer than doing a dirty-flash -- the length of time it takes for android to 'upgrade' each of your apps after a dirty flash is just a little bit shorter than the time it takes to do a batch restore from TBUP. You can even use TBUP to back-up your accounts/SMS and certain settings (restoring ALL your old system settings is NOT recommended).

Of course, if your issue is you don't want to download a big file (~1.7GB), I don't know if there's a solution other than to get a really fast connection. I usually use my LTE connection to download not-i's updates. Takes me 5 minutes or less.

From my experience, the usual length of time it takes for me (including download times) to get from one version of the ROM to the current version doing a full wipe is 25 minutes -- that includes downloading the ROM, backing-up my apps, doing a nandroid backup, restoring and tweaking to suit my preferences. You can do some of the steps simultaneously -- i.e. backup your apps/ROM while downloading the ROM. That's not a very long time and well worth it.

Just flash v14

,wantted to know how can we get the font list like V13 ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] truenitos:
Well, seems none can answer me my trouble.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] not-i:
Well no one else has this issue. Did you clean install? Are you running any xposed modules? What kernel are you using?

And by the way every time you reboot it scans your phone for new media so it will be scanning then.

Or possibly its a problem with your sd card
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] DJJacky2014:
Oh,thank you for your reply.There are many issues.First,I am A Chinese,the internet is not very well,so ,i t takes me a long time to download the full ROM(No less than 45 min average ).Then, every time,i must backup my apps(I use Titanium Backup),then wipe and install,after booting,restore my apps, it also takes me a long time to restore my apps by Titanium Backup. It totally takes me a long time.So I want to find a easy or convenient way to install the ROM. Or, is it necessary for me to wipe data every time updating from V13 to V14(like this)?

So using Greenify (I'm assuming together with the Greenify xPosed module) helps ameliorate the battery drain caused by xPosed? How about ROM smoothness? Notice any stuttering? I'm still reluctant to install xPosed but I'm tempted because I love the BlurredUI mod.

It's a bugger that brightness slider doesn't change color. Maybe in future updates.

But circle battery works!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] ThinkAlot:
I did a full format. And a clean install via Odin.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] Alcibiade:
Looks cool. We need a Sweet ROM on these base :)

Did you try it with Mieise kernel? I found it to be better for battery life than stock kernels. That being said the performance improvements you are showing are very likely to come from the kernel...
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] ThinkAlot:
Nah haven't tried any custom kernels yet. I used Meisi kernel though. I did like it. But waiting for a more stable version. It kept forgetting my wifi passwords. But didn't notice any battery life gain. I'll give it another shot when the Dev releases his new work.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] not-i:
We are already on a newer base mate so why go backwards?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] Alcibiade:
Are you sure? Seems like the new" BOE1 had seen some very recent fixes that has boost the ROM. Was reading (Don't remember where) Samsung has been following an erratic numbering/naming for their base lately. If I am wrong, then forget my remark.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] jpbl1976:
[ROM][N910U][Sweet ROM V14 BOE5 5.0.1 [May 31st][Yummy Lollipop]

I agree. I don't see the point of going back to an older base. Look at the Sammobile page for our variant, they have a history of releasing later bases to other regions as far back as KitKat. It's probably just a function of their local partners getting back to them late. Just look at the last KitKat update on the list: it was AOC1 for Panama after a release of AOC3 to Hong Kong a week earlier.

Not sure I buy the "there are fixes etc, etc" arguments. For one thing, V14 has been out nearly two weeks now and the people who've installed BOE1 wiped and flashed via Odin or Kies. Of course their devices will feel fresh and speedy. It's a new flash! Sammy doesn't publish changelogs for its ROMs so people are just guessing. The truth is, we don't know for sure what Sammy's done between bases -- so in the absence of a definitive changelog, it's better to err on the side of following the later base number and that's (BOE5) what V14 has.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] yoel740:
do you have app freezing problems guys?

My Badoo and Plunder Pirates still running but i can touch or drag, sometimes flashtify also
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] not-i:
Well take this information from the build props of the 2 firmwares and then you tell me -

BOE1 - build.date=Fri, 15 May 2015 12:00:31 +0000

build.changelist=4919615

BOE5 - build.date=Tue May 19 20:59:45 KST 2015

build.changelist=4943773

So as you can see BOE5 is a more recent build with a higher changelog.

Samsung release the firmware as the carrier does and thats when it gets dropped by kies. That is how Sammobile (and other sites) get the firmware. Unfortunately sometimes the carriers etc hold onto the firmware for f*#king ages and thats why it pops up as new release so late. Hope this helps you get your head around it.

By the way I may be wrong but this is what I have observed over the last 3 or 4 years of dealing with Sammy firmware.

Totally agree
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] not-i:
No none. Did you full wipe when flashing the rom and did you restore apps from previous build or 4.4.4? Any of these may have caused problems

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] mkim055:
Hey not-i

I flashed V2 again, everything looks good, but I was able to reproduce that multi window bug.

It looks like the bug is specific to Wanam.

If you minimise Wanam from its main menu, there is no problem, top window menu and white circle sit on top of the window.

However, if you go into any of the subsections e.g.) Theme, System, Phone, etc, of Wanam and minimise the app, top window menu and white circle sit behind the window.

Not sure what other apps are like.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] not-i:
[MENTION=4948980]angelky[/MENTION] see above post
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] not-i:
Thanks for your feedback mate. I was sure there was no issues. Wierd about wanam particularly only in certain parts of the app but good to know. At least its not a rom issue
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] Hendrickson:
Thanks for your efforts on this rom, I've got a few wake locks with it and other minor issues killing the battery life on this rom worse than stock. I did a full wipe, so I've gone back to stock for now and using xposed to set some apps at better looking 420 DPI. V2 added a lot of bloat for me. I know it's your personal rom built for you so that's fine.

Best of luck with future versions.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] not-i:
I actually removed a lot of bloat in the rom. Any other "bloat" you don't like can be easily removed from data/app with any Root Explorer and then you won't have any.

As far as wakelock I have only had the rom available for 24hrs so you really wouldn't have a chance of really knowing, especially as the rom would have hardly settled. I don't have an issue so it could have been due to an app you have installed,

Anyway all the best mate :good:

Hello friends

If you're using Stock Samsung Keyboard, there is potential security risk - read on:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/3a1a7g/samsung_keyboard_security_risk_disclosed_over/

In a nutshell: Samsung stock KB uses Swiftkey engine to power its swipe ability. Sammy KB is a system app therein lies the problem - Swiftkey engine auto-sends pings to its own server and is open to intercept for malicious use.
