You mean like updating supersu app...then opening it and installing the binaries...like this? Ive done it every single time including the most recent supersu update with the hideous green icon in play store lol with no Issues just like usual buddy ..from the feedback imo it's a problem with one of the twrp updates itself having flashing issues

Think about like this...recovery is sub system level meaning you can flash root into the system/kernel...so personally I don't see how updating the rom binaries would interfere with twrp flashing su binaries when your literally flashing a rooted kernel and system on top of a rooted system with custom sub system recovery...it's kinda like saying don't install ms word or else no windows updates will install properly...for lack of a more accurate analogy between user and sub user level system layouts

Edit: although it may be very possible that there is a slight variance between anj7 and ank4 that the twrp recovery hasn't adjusted for...this Idk? As I'm still on anj7 and original twrp version as flashing and backups were fine

I was just prompted to update after I re rooted and I didn't, set up stock and did a backup and it took! So I just reflashed yours and now waiting the 15 before I reboot and set up.

Thanks for all your help!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No problem man...it's not crucial by any means. ..and in fact if there is an issue where bits the ank4 base somehow breaks root when doing the update of supersu just avoid It there's nothing crucial in actual pushing the new binaries imo as long as you have full root and root apps running...now just enjoy v5 lol

Question

Love this rom. Well it is my first custom rom but it seems pretty fast. I feel like it lags a little more with V5 than it did with V4 but I am still letting it settle in. I just had a question for the android experts out there.

This is my first time with an android phone. I finally came to the dark side last month when I bought the Note 4. I learned recently that you can change out the call screen by downloading a phone dialer apk (I think). My questions are: 1) Does anyone else find the call screen hideious looking? The green screen with the big happy face.

2) Has anyone changed it out. How did you do this? What app did you use?

I hope someone has some suggestions. I just learned recently that the phone dialer doesn't have the visual voicemail built in. I gotta open up another app for that...

Anyway nice job Mega!

Finally updated to V5 coming from V2 and everything is running great as usual. Just wanted to stop in and say thanks for the wonderful rom and excellent support.

Haha....I follow a couple shows on YouTube....some cooking stuff and some nature stuff....

The main thing for me is this....even though I'm watching videos from my phone, it just urks me knowing that it could be more when I'm watching videos that are actually true 1080p. Even on my phone I can tell a difference in clarity. It's easy...Let alone having truly unlimited goodness....that's like free gas! LOL....Floor the SOB! ...Right? :highfive:

When streaming to my TV is when having 1080p is a must....otherwise it's horrid IMHO.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ThC23:
Is this typical battery for this Rom?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Typical? There's really no such thing as its completely dependant on your set up settle in period and usage...some get 6 hours some get 9 screen on...

As a ballpark for a day or two in ya that's pretty good...your standby was a little low but you were on it 1/3 of the time...so it's pretty good especially considering it's barely broken in...but here's mine...i dont have much use time it's mainly standby but the standby is extremely efficient strait from flash on v5 tbh...this is with 47 mins screen on so I'm getting about .25 to .3% per hour loss with my cpu minimum clocked at 1400 ghz full time screen off ect lol not bad..so that's why I say typical is a tough measure....like benchmarks don't compare with others because your Setup is unique...just use other stats ect as a guide to judge how efficien you've got your Setup and you should be set

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Since this is probably a really widespread question I wanna make a note about my setup and op2...

My setup is definitely efficient but i dont do anything to minimize battery use whatsoever minus disabling those few apps listed and greenify...the stuff mentioned in op2...but I use cpu controllers full brightness data and wifi sync gps ect everything always on...bright beach themes on every page...wanam and xposed ect ect..basically i have the setup that makes me smile everytime I pick it up and chuckle at the speed of the thing. ..I still get around 5 hours screen on and 24 to 36 total right now half way broken in...and typically charge every 2 days cuz i dont have time to use 5 hours in a day typically to drain it and don't like charging all night from like 45% lol..so i keep adjusting my min clock speed higher literally just to try an kill the battery cuz im used to charging every night...now some guys like to go the other route. ..minimal kit...dark Wallpaper low brightness ect and pull insane numbers like 9 hours screen on over 24 hours ect lol now I totally dig that setup and think it's awesone the same rom will give 8 or 9 screen on and 49 to 50k antutu scores...thats why to post stats and Guage them vs someone else vs the rom minimum or standard (which is alot different than comparing to a fully setup build with apps ect)..so as with benchmarks and wake lock Detector as long as you use them as tools to adjust the build plus or minus this or that for your use...and not trying to reconcile why your Setup isn't like xyz persons then they can be useful...not directed at you just a general clarification that I see so many people confuse...dont mix up what the rom can do on a given setup....and what it's doing on your specific setup...as there's a million and one variables that you could never account for...big misunderstanding I've seen repeated here alot...just fyi hope this helps guys

Thanks for the question as I had been wanting to explain this difference for a while and never remembered to do it[emoji106]

Yesterday I had to record video and I did it in the highest resolution I was at 100% battery recorded about an hours worth in 5 min increments battery was completely dead...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol yea 4k will do that lmao...its pointless cuz you can't even play it back it 4k so I never use that mode...how many 5 min videos did you manage? The storage was prolly pretty big as well right?

I edit in 4K and render in 4K on my computer I'm a DJ by trade and I'm doing a slide/video presentation lucky I had my wife around i used her note 4 to finish the interviews... next time I'll just use 1080p

What would be the highest resolution used to record on an iPhone? That's what I use to use isn't it 1080p?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea 1080p in a lower quality bit rate...yea dude 4k is brutal and imo not really much sharper than the 2k...but you got a ton more time than I expected tbh...an hours worth is super good for shooting 4k...1080 on the note modded camera looks amazing imo the 2k is stunning...the 4k I'm not sold on it yet tbh for all its downsides I stick to 1080 or for your work 2k will be miles above your old iPhone

Jw how do the 4k videos look when actually viewed in true 4k? I've never seen any live n4 recorded n3 or 4k clips before

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dj2big:
When watching 4K videos in true 4K viewing it is amazing just run over to best buy and hook up your phone with video shot in 4K You will be hot to buy a 4K TV

Lmao that'd be classic...yea I've checked out the samsung udh when i bought my flat screen...its not the tvs they're stunningly beautiful for sure it's the material is so scarce or else i would've probably bought it for future proofing my TV...but i meant video shot on the note 4 not pro movies? ..but cable is still 480p/720p upscaled...i think 1 dish company has true 1080p...but when google strip 1080 from our Youtube apk ect it just seems like it'll be several years before 2k movies and blue rays are popular so 4k seems a little much for me...id rather have one of the new amoled flat screens...ahhh a 60 inch note 4 would be insane lol

What kind of music do you spin/play?

Mega

Idk man i haven't reenabled them....there's prolly 20 answers if you seach it's either enable symbols or secure keyboard...maybe both
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dj2big:
Blue rays are not popular anymore... streaming is... Netflix is already going to stream 4K my dj rig will be all 4K Tvs next year for sure future proof is best IMO as you will get the highest quality always no matter what I saw the amoled flat screen amazing but not worth the upgrade yet for me maybe 4 years from now... did you see the Samsung presentation with those paper thin phones/tablets wow!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Fk ya lol. Bout the time the dude in one of the videos said..."we plan on developing this into a folding wallet style, that would fold out from about the size of a business card and expand to a galaxy or note size device and eventually tablets to follow"...my head exploded lol. Samsung is killing it with sick tech lately...you see how thin the amoled flat screen is? It makes my led look out dated lol

Lmao because samsung is like 10x larger than apple dude lmao...samsung is massive globally where apple is no where near samsung level outside the US where samsung leads tablet and about equal in phone sales ..and samsung make appliances, computers, phones, actual computer hardware, tvs, the glass display for almost every monitor and tv out, and about 60% the entire us cellular network...apple is tiny in comparison

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I'm a little baffled tbh I've never seen anything like it...you've used like 35 of my roms in a row lol I wonder if something with your guys setup didn't flash well with a data/apps folder...do the apps all open and work for you that I included?

Mega

I don't understand why solid explorer is showing the pathway as coming from the temp folder of emulated path 0 (internal sd)?? When it's in the root system folder. ...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Ilkinansr92:
Well that was strange used cwm rom manager fixed permissions went to recovery wiped cache delvik again n fix permissions from there n rebooted phone rebuild all the apps on start up n seems to work now
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I was just saying there was an issue with that file manager...it showed your build prop in the temp folder of internal sd note system folder of root lol weird...never seen anything like that before lmao...you should have literally zero issues I have no idea wtf that was bro haha

Did you by chance update supersu without rebooting when trying to open those files?

Oh well everything works now there's always some easy steps to follow that can fix things I knew it was something with permissions just wasn't sure why the hell it happen. Maybe I would update my recovery as new one was released
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
re: files and folders

You are going into the wrong place with your root/file explorer.

Go here: /storage/extsdcard and you will be able to delete the contact.vfc

file or any other files or folders providing they are not write protected, if

they are you need to change attributes and make them writable.

All the folders and the files in /storage/extsdcard are the same as in the ones

you were trying to delete in the /storage/emulated/0 folder.

Check it out,

Good luck!

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dukins:
Ok I think I've found the culprit. When I erase internal storage, writing to internal storage and sd card gets screwed up. I had to reflash stock root then wipe everything except for internal storage and sd card. After erasing all but those two I mentioned, I reflashed and now everything is smooth as butter. Bottom line is do NOT erase internal storage. Better off erasing your internal storage through phone system settings instead of twrp. :eek::eek::eek::eek:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
This may very well be...i haven't wiped my internal since our phones are brand new...that may just be a twrp issue that needs sorting but I'll note it in the op just to be safe man...thanks for the feedback prolly saved other people alot of hassle...and me Hella confusion lol

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Ilkinansr92:
Yeh I erased mine too I guess we both had same issue but I didn't have to reflash anything tho fix permissions n wipe of caches helped me
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dukins:
No problem bro just here to help the community. Hopefully TWRP gets update with a fix until then, please guys do not wipe internal storage with twrp 2.8.1.1
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Well since that's the only thing in common you had for the flash that could possibly be different than my setup I went ahead and noted it since it seems more than likely to be the root issue

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
This is great to know. Thanks. Now I'm debating whether I should factory reset from the phone now and reinstall the ROM? LOL...hhmmmm...especially before I get everything nice and set up again.

So if TWRP is not wiping correctly, then that's pretty much a dirty flash eh? LOL

OP, should I just factory wipe from the phone and reflash? Don't bother even wiping in TWRP before the reinstall ya?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Well no you still wanna wipe factory reset like always. ..you just don't wanna wipe your internal storage...use advanced wipe and choose all but internal storage and external storage...as long as you don't wipe your storage your all good...still clean flash the rom

Apple should still buy Samsung I think it's possible but them again like Microsoft they support the competition
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Haha why? They do absolutely no innovation...samsung has single handedly developed 3/4 of every device out right now...Asia had tablets for nearly a decade before the us got the iPad lol....plus how could they with half the money? Samsung could buy apple and not think twice they're so big but there's no benefit since all they would aquire essentially is osx...and samsung is already larger than apple even in the us now in phone and tablet sales...there isn't a single market now where apple dominates...theyre already beating them while getting paid a fortune to make their phones lol

I despise apple even though I have 3 macs for recording pro tools...theyre a horrible company. ...they owe over 12 billion in us taxes alone...i detest them

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dj2big:
In another thread I made a comment that I believe if Samsung were to make all their devices ootb vanilla android and gave a pure android experience ios would not stand a chance or for Google to make it a standard across all new devices 64bit and future proof the android OS and require manufacturers to install pure vanilla android but for manufacturers to have their launchers as an install option android would ultimately become the standard OS because consumer usibility would be transitioned to an average Joe understanding with a smooth as butter ecosystem like ios devices

I disagree I think the diversity of android is a strength in that you're not confined to a generic os like stock android or ios...i hate stock android as much as ios...imo touchwiz is the standard of android...it not only dominates the market in terms of popularity and recognition...but it's also heads and tails beyond anything Google has done with stock...the nexus 6 on lolliopop benchmarks lower than stock note 4 and gets worse battery life...same hardware...similar sizes albeit N6 is slightly larger...that stock experience isn't for me man...I've never like Nexus...never wanted to be a beta tester for google and i hate the featureless plain look...but if you like it that's the beauty of the system we have that you would rather take away the option? Personally I'll take samsung android over google any day not only for the phones, the features like sd card, removable battery, not to mention all the tw enhanced Features... now if you say the phone should come out of the box running like my roms i totally agree...but stripping android down from what makes it great. ..variety...into something generic like stock or ios not for me anyway
