Why are you not simply odin flashing auto root like normal? It would save you all this hassle...literally follow my op instructions...odin flash stock...odin flash root...odin flash recovery. ..flash fk...there should be no rooting with twrp at all...and idk what "fix"?? means?? Read my op instructions that's literally the exact way...other than odin the method is identical to stock android roms there's nothing special needed or to do...you have root and custom recovery. ..you do have a tmo n4 right?

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TheTofu:
Haha, I know the pain of that all too well, thus why I usually never clean flash if it's after midnight and I have work the next day :P
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sky high:
V7 was sooo fast and awesome ...till i broke it. Something i did in wanam compleletly messed the rom up. It was so laggy I was afraid i wasnt going to be able to get through the settings to wipe my finger prints before reinstalling the rom. Anyway great work. I was not expecting the speed boost from 5 to 7. You need to show samsung how much power their device has if they took the time to optimize it like you have.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kamkid279:
Hey Mega,

Thanks for your help. I am using ODIN for flashing. I use it to flash ANK4, I use ODIN to flash cf-auto root. I use ODIN to flash twrp 2.8.1.1. I boot into twrp. I advanced wipe dalvik cache, cache, system, data. I use TWRP to flash FK. Should I use ODIN to flash FK? Are there links to the exact files I should be using for ANK4? Do i need to check my basebands or modem etc? Yes I do have a tmo n4. I'm currently on Baseband version N910TUVU1ANK4. Build Number: FireKatN4DeodexV5. Thanks again, I'm sorry if I frustrated you. I'm just trying to learn and understand. I truly appreciate your continued responses and support.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Whoa that's wild man in Wanam? Did you have any other mods that could have been conflicting with it? If you remember or track down what setting it was I'm sure that'll come up clutch for a lot of people...time to clean flash lol

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
It's not frustrating I'm jsut trying to figure out what you're doing...it's only those few steps...just download V7...download ank4 from sammobile or live samsung updates...auto root and twrp are in the threads or even search this thread there's links...then follow op...once you odin flash stock ank4 then odin flash root you shouldnt even have to mess with twrp for root at all...you just open supersu hit continue...normal....ok...yes to disable knox....when it's done odin flash twrp...after reboot...boot into twrp flash V7

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kamkid279:
Mega,

Alright I'm using the N910TUVU1ANK4_N910TTMB1ANK4_N910TUVU1ANK4_HOME.tar.md5 for my ank4 base. CF-Auto-Root-trltetmo-trltetmo-smn910t.tar.md5 is what i'm using for auto root. And openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.1-trltetmo.img I am using for twrp. All of these files are being odin flashed. Odin flash ank4 base, then odin flash root, boot into system and supersu continue normal, ok, yes disable knox. Odin flash twrp then reboot. Reboot into twrp and advance wipe dalvik cache, cache system and data. After advance wipe then reboot and profit? Lets try! Thank you good sir! I owe you big time!

---------- Post added at 02:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 AM ----------

Mega,

One last thing, before I start any of this. Before I ODIN flash ank4, do i need to do a factory reset or anything in twrp? Wipe anything at all in twrp? I have a nandroid backup that I keep restoring every time I mess up. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Right follow thst and you should be good...

Still need to wipe in twrp as you've prolly been going round and round with different bits and pieces trying to flash...do a strait clean run thru proper flash and you'll be set

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kamkid279:
Mega,

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm following your post EXACTLY as you say. Flashed twrp, rebooted, rebooted into twrp, advance wiped. Went to install in twrp found fkv7.zip and flashed. Twrp says successful, i select reboot and twrp asks if i want to install supersu... Regardless what I select at this screen i end up in bootloop. Possibly a bad copy of fk that I downloaded. I'll try download a new copy.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Then re download it...and use twrp 2.8.1.0 I'm still using it and know exactly what it'll do...

[MENTION=5451734]megalomanic14[/MENTION] I have the Canadian Note 4 and I want to try out this ROM. I've made a backup in TWRP. I also backed up "Backup all user app" using Titanium Backup in which I can restore from afterwards (is it safe to restore from "backup all user app + system data?)? Do I simply flash your ROM in TWRP and I can skip your step of "1. Odin Flash anj3 Base" since this is my default version? Also to go back to my default settings before flashing this ROM, I can restore from the backup I made earlier in TWRP? Thanks a lot and my apologies for being a noob.

No short cutting it especially since your new to rooting...just follow the instructions and do it properly...

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GatoL0c0:
Mine isn't showing either but it's because I never turned it on. I don't use it but was curious and dug into it. Lol

*edit* Err never mind. It doesn't show the icon after all even after finding it in settings. Not a problem for me since I don't use it. It is very strange though.

*edit 2* after reading a couple other posts, maybe Wanam and or Xposed are doing something weird. I use both so this could be the common denominator.

Hey guys . For those that know me from GN3, im back.

Loaded FK v7 yesterday. Let settle and battery is doing very well. Monitor shows 1% battery drain with no use in 8 hours. Screen on drop of 3% an hour.

Clocked the rom on geekbench with same scores as on stock. Tried Mega's settings and scores actually dropped into the 900's. All in all very outstanding Rom. Thanks Mega. Amazing work.

Canadian V7 no LTE?

Installed V7, appears to only have 4G speeds (Server is approximately 20 km from my location)

Restored V6, LTE icon appears and speed almost doubles. (Server is approximately 300 km from my location)

I live where LTE is strong.

Before someone goes off on a tangent - yes I know LTE is actually 4G but this is not the point of discussion here...it is about the difference in speeds observed.

Screenshots below...Can another Canadian confirm?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] CheesyNutz:
Bad install wipe and start over
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xxboarderxx:
Sorry but a "wipe and start over" is not even Mega's instructions to begin with when installing his ROMs.

Everything is awesome on v7. No problems, but one. Better Battery Stats is doing the following when I run. It's never done it before.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] force70:
I dont see anywhere in there where you factory reset...which should come before going into adv and wiping cache, dalvik system and data.

Some say factory reset is the same diff as what is wiped in adv but i always do it and rarely have issues

sent from Canada via my Note 4, 3 or 2.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sefrcoko:
I also have the 4G icon on v7 instead of the LTE icon I had on stock or Firekat v6 (N910W8). Used an Xposed module ("4G/LTE Switcher") to get back the LTE icon but haven't checked download speeds. Will do that now and report back...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xxboarderxx:
Thanks for the feedback. Personally I don't care about the icon but the difference in speed for me is night and day.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sefrcoko:
OK just ran a speed test. Don't remember what I used to get on Firekat v6 or stock, but my current results on Firekat v7 seem similar to yours (although you seem to still have much better 4G download speeds than me lol). Note that the icon in this screenshot says LTE but that's only because of the Xposed module I used to switch it...otherwise it would say 4G.

UPDATE (More tests!):

EDIT: My APN settings looked right but I reset them just to be safe. I waited a while and then tried a few more speed tests on v7. Results are better than before and now at least comparable to what xxboarderxx is getting on Firekat v7. Might be due to APN reset, or might simply be due to lighter server loads/time of day.

Next I restored my original stock backup through TWRP and ran a few more speed tests. Results seem similar to my latest tests on Firekat v7. Slightly slower this time, but again it's likely just varying a little bit based on server loads/time of day.

The network speeds on both Firekat v7 and stock NJ3 seem consistent for me on my N910W8. I never reach the 70+ Mbps speeds xxboarderxx gets on v6, but then again that's possibly just due to different carriers/LTE coverage areas (I'm with Bell near Ottawa). I checked Bell's website and it states average LTE speeds of 12-25 Mbps (it was last updated in 2011 lol - classic Bell).
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea because I tried to build tethering into your guys note for v7...so the icon may be different but the speed shouldn't really be affected?

Did you guys check your apn settings?

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sefrcoko:
I had the same issue. I uninstalled BBS, then I installed the "Enable BatteryStats Permission" Xposed module, activated it, rebooted, reinstalled BBS, gave it root when prompted, and installed as system app when prompted. Working fine for me now.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xxboarderxx:
If it is wifi tethering you are talking about, it was always enabled on the Canadian Note 4 and comes off our data plan. We don't have a separate tethering plan and it was never disabled.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Then the changes wouldn't make any difference enabling unlimited no check tethering...doubke check your apn

Mega

Secondly...are you even accounting for basic bandwidth and time of day? My lte varies depending on bandwidth traffic ect each test varies a decent amount...i mean just going from 1 server to the other boosted 19 points...it'd never just bang on a number it fluctuates
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mcdavid:
Did exactly what you suggest. No dice. Still get "failed" popping up after trying to install as system app.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Don't use better battery stats...use wake lock Detector...it's a ton more beneficial imo and doesn't drain battery like bbm...my 2 cents...all kinds of people are having issues since last update of bbm

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sefrcoko:
Strange... Honestly I never really liked BBS lol. I might just follow Mega's advice and replace it with WLD anyways :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xxboarderxx:
Time of day doesn't matter to me. I get great speeds all day, everyday 24/7. Besides, I only provided two screenshots but I actually ran each speed test about 7x within an hour of each other with various servers. APNs were checked as well and I even forced LTE with V7.

I just did a full reinstall of V7 and got the same thing. Let's just say I'm pretty thorough when it comes to analysis of anything as that is a major part of my day job.

Anyway, I have zero knowledge of how to build ROMs but I know enough to say that for me, V6 was not broke and was fine so I'm going back and sticking with that.

My original post was just to report back this discrepancy, get confirmation and also let others be aware that V7 might do that to them.

Listen man, don't bother responding to my original post as it was meant to be rhetorical. I'm also not someone to start some stupid war of words either as that is retarded, especially over the internet.

Basically, I appreciate what you've done and I want it to be the best ROM out there for the Note 4. I'm sure we are on the same page. I even donated awhile back because I truly believe that you have put out a great product and I want to help you ensure that every little wrinkle ironed out instead of just sitting back and complaining that there is something wrong with it. I will try to investigate further but I just find it weird that there is such a difference in download speeds between versions when all of my settings are identical.

Cheers

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sky high:
I think i broke it by trying to use the sd card read and write fix option in wanam. Like some others here I also have weird quick toggles but I'm pretty sure it is from having a wanam backup on your system when you flash the rom. Thats the only way I can think of those gs5 quick toggles showing up.

Bottom line done use the sd card read and write fix in wanam and delete any wanam backups before you flash.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xxboarderxx:
It's all good. Let's move on. I will run V7 for a few days and take more speed readings.

As for the 100% speed all the time - while I hate my cell provider, I do love their consistent network speeds around my house. It does drop from time to time by maybe 10-15 Mbps but I have never seen it so low after flashing V7 so my immediate reaction was hmm...what has changed to cause this sudden drop...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Oh yea i already enabled the read write back in the rom natively so that's probably why that mod punted your system...yea the toggles is really odd tho...i restored my backup but seeing 4 or 5 people with various toggles makes me wonder what the hell up lol

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea just test it and see how it goes it's not like we can't restore the original files if we need to ...but it really shouldn't affect the data speed as it typically an on off switch very rarely does anything affect the speed except an apn which is like changing channels on your radio to get a clearer tune...typically the network is responsible for your speeds so just run it for a day and see

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sefrcoko:
FYI, I ran more network speed tests on both v7 and stock on my N910W8. Just updated my other post with the details/screen shots in case that helps anyone.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea the actual speed isn't as important since his is way faster than my att lte low 50s mbs in Cincinnati...but the variance was the important one...so yours actually improved on V7 over ank4...im gonna say everyone just run v7 for a day and see how things go that way we're not all looking at a snapshot of the network but from a full day and gives v7 time to settle and sync properly

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sefrcoko:
Yes, was definitely happy to see that increase in network speeds with v7 :). Btw, I compared it with our stock anj3 base not ank4 (I know that you know this already lol, just wanted to clarify)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xxboarderxx:
Thanks for checking. There must be a screw loose with my Note4 but I have decided to keep V7 and test it over a few days in hopes it will change. Still getting low to mid 40's but will let it settle a bit before trying again. I also have a Galaxy S3 and S4 albeit different ROMs but getting 55+ Mbps consistetly like I did w/ FKV6.

I'm with Rogers in the Ottawa core. My speeds like everyone else's does fluctuate but is between high 50's to high 70's.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
It could also be something as small as when you restore a backup it's already Pre settled since pretty much everything flashes back as a snapshot of before. ..or having slightly different apn type/port ect ...where a new flash is going thru that process...thats why I'm saying like battery or benchmarks ect in that initial period there's too many variables to determine anything without more information over a little time...i mean I can reboot and re sync with att and kick up my lte 15 points by pinging a different tower...give it a day then we'll see if we should re enable the original anj3 files...err yea whatever stock is called lol

When I first installed v7 I had assumed mega added them but he didn't and its not from wanam backups so I'm confused. Maybe it's the wanam version? I'm on 3.2.6. It's not affecting anything but I'd still like to know where the hell they came from just incase they cause problems later on.
