Well if I had the tmo rom I could say xyz days....but the very first few regions of the exynos variant of the intl n4 got the update...the entire rest of the exynos country regions will need updated...as well as the other 3 or 4 variants...on top of carrier hold outs...

If I get some information and feedback and feel adequately comfortable with doing a blind build like the other variants on 4.4.4 I will...When that happens you'll all know lol no worries...that said you guys have seen the conversations and know how little there is in lollipop so I'm still a little baffled lol...i get some people are willing to go so far as to sacrifice stability speed battery life features camera and screen tweaks ect to literally flash a generic aosp build sacrificing all that for a theme...so I get people see benefits in different ways lol as long as everyone knows what their getting I'm cool with it...

But I have no way to tell when we'll get anything...as much as I'd like to i don't actually work for Samsung lol I just play like I do online [emoji106]

Holy ****! Have you guys seen how many thanks rovo89 got in this one post?!

If Xposed is compatible with Lollipop then I just might make the jump (assuming that I can roll back to KitKat and the bootloader remains unlocked)....

Hahaha assuming this. ..assuming that...possibly if this...and maybe if that then hell ya man I'm totally game lmao

Yup, posted a link I think yesterday from Android Police.

Completely off topic but I remember Android Police posting some emails that they received. Some people actually think that they are Android "police". Some of the funniest stuff I've ever read. Lol

I liked most of what I saw in the Note 4 leaked Lollipop videos, but I'm still not sure about the now notifications panel. The two pulldowns to read my notifications thing seems like a pain in the ass.

Now that I know Xposed will be updated to work with Lollipop I might have to give it a shot. If it's anything short of perfect them I'm headed straight back to FireKat.

So I've been using v.9 for about a solid week now and everything is great! Getting great battery life thanks for everyones help including MEGA of course. Quick question...so in order to get unlimited wifi hotspot do I need to install a certain apk? change any settings? or does it work automatically?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
yes I premodded tethering and Wifi calling apn into the build...you just need to activate it and reninitialize the apn/tethering...but as for the users side I'm not 100% being on att and not tethering lol someone else will know step by step but you should just toggle it on and link up

I am totally down. Also a question. I use battery calibration and it charged to 100% and I reset my stats. When I turn the phone off and it is charged it reads 96% . Then when it reads 100 when the phone is off, it reads less when it's on. So my question is what program or method do you recommend to wipe my battery stats?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Good question..None...ive made a few post about this...wiping stats was a bit of misinformation that got passed on and on and on from years ago lol ...your battery display stats and info wipe and recalibrate every full charge...but the fw and hw take a few charges after flash that's why you see small fluctuations when you cycle the display to calibrate say rebooting or pulling battery your first few days after flashing....ime I think it takes 3 full charges for the module in hw and the fw contoller to sync but I've never found the exact parameters in the build/source....alot of battery kit is extremely technical with all the fw/direct hw integration...not somewhere I like to mess lol....just use your note like usual...and after a few cycles things are are set...another sort of misunderstanding a lot of people have is they look at the readout as a fine point when in reality it's more a calculated deduction...a ballpark figure...it doesn't constantly measure your actual battery or else it drain itself constantly pinging the module...so it's the same reason the pull the cord at 100 plug it back in till it says 100 again tricks the display to "calibrate" for that run cycle until a reboot it recalibrates again ect

Give the Heads-up app a shot for notifications...works really well. Supports whatever interaction a given app provides from notifications (reply, read, delete) and let's you do reply and return to the app you were in automatically. The notifications also can appear on the lockscreen, you just can't interact with them.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] azsgolf:
I had a Nexus 5 before I got the N4, I upgraded to 5.0 when it first came out and yes battery life took a major hit. Did the phone perform better? No. Was it a revolution like it sounded like? Not really. I wanted to like it. I was using different KK ROMs but not Xposed. I kept wanting to revert back to KK but just kept trying. I actually was going to get the Nexus 6 but the delay on those made me decide to get the Note. Call it fate but it was the best decision I made. Not discussing the hardware side, but going back to KK and utilizing some of the mods is far better.

While I admit I will try Lollipop when it hits, I will most likely be going back to KK shortly because I doubt it will be any different than my previous experience. Just my $0.02 worth about a penny.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] androidkid27:
Random question, when putting the phone into power saving mode is it normal for it to reboot?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gun26:
I had a Nexus 5 for about a year, got a OnePlus One which I ended up keeping only briefly (long story - I loved the OPO, though) and I've had my Note 4 for exactly two months now. Like many Nexus 5 users, I eagerly went for the "L" previews and the final Lollipop release as soon as I could, and like you, azsgolf, I noticed the major hit on battery life.. But I did like the notifications and the visual hints that material design provided. One thing that struck me upon moving to the Note 4, even running an absolutely stock ROM, is the fact that Samsung's TouchWiz 4.4x already has much of the same colour scheme and visual design of Lollipop. Whatever Lollipop ends up being on tne Note 4, I'm not anticipating a huge change to the overall look.

I've tried out various AOSP ROMs on my Note 4, very briefly in most cases, because I couldn't stand not having all the Note 4 goodies - especially that much-maligned fingerprint reader. It may be over-fussy and it often takes me a couple of tries to get it to work, but it beats not having a fingerprint scanner at all, especially to avoid retyping a long intricate Lastpass password. I've also tried out various 4.4.TouchWiz-based ROMS and this one is definitely the best one. Also like you azsgolf, I will try out TouchWiz Lollipop but I'll be sure to have a Nandroid of Firekat 4.4 to restore when I find Lollipop wanting, as seems likely.

I do depart from standard Firekat practice in some ways - I hate the look of TouchWiz despite mega's improvements, so I stick with Nova Launcher which basically has a look that hasn't changed since ICS 4.0, but it does the job. And I do use TitaniumBackup despite mega's warnings about it - it works for me, and hell yes I restore call logs, sms messages and wifi access points with it.. :)

V6 are based on the newer ank4 base rom...YOU MUST ODIN FLASH ANK4

I'm thinking about rooting my N4 and going with this ROM. I'm already on the newer stock unrooted ank4 base. Do I still have to Odin flash the stock base before I flash V6?

I'm sorry if this is a noobish question:confused:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
I came here looking for the ROM for my Note 4 (going to give it a try soon) and saw in the first post that you also have a ROM for note 12.2. I did a search and could not find it. Can you point me to it? I tried to root my note 12.2 when I first got it and broke Knox but was never able to gain root even with a dev's help. That was almost a year ago. There were no custom ROMs available then. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I dirty flashed V9 long ago and haven't had any issues whatsoever. Not always required definitely. I rarely do clean flash unless its a significant change. +1
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lmao dude why do you think I say it? If they weren't significant updates I wouldn't push them out lolz. ..but by dirty flashing you guys negate any battery benefits between updates lmao...v9 is appx 10% more efficient giving around an hour extra screen on for my identical setup...but dirty flashing wipes over an hour off on average lmao...same for performance....issues are a secondary side affect...

If the roms performed the same dirty as clean I would recommend that method lol...it your guys phone but I laugh when you guys talk about flashing lol

Not sure about call recording but I also have a cell spot Asus branded router from T-Mobile and have ZERO issues on WiFi calling. I have to have it to get reception inside my home but outside I get full LTE also. Works perfect since day 1 a month ago.

---------- Post added at 09:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 AM ----------

no I get it, not a newbie but it's definitely just as good as if I had clean flash, no noticebale difference is all I'm saying. Clean flashing isn't required as much as people think. I clean flashed V8 and used it for a couple weeks and then dirtied the update and it was every bit as good performance and battery-wise. A lot depends on how much stuff you're also going to run via Xposed and system mods etc. And slo people forget that restoring data and apps from Titanium backups can be a bad way to do things, you will often get old and corrupted (not optimized) files and will suffer on performance. I always reinstall the apps I'll use most like FB, G+ etc so they perform optimally. +1

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] VeNuMuS:
Come on bros let's keep this civil. Clean flashing is usually only required when something major is added be it system or framework then yes a clean flash is recommended. It its general bug fixes, a dirty flash should suffice if done correctly. Experience or longevity on this site or on rom matters is good to have but doesn't exactly make you superior or smarter than someone else. Sometimes we tend to forget a matter or two. Sorry for the rant

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] faslane:
haha no, I saw it somewhere that they'd send you one for "free" (with deposit, for me anyway) $27.00 is you were getting bad reception so I simply called and asked and they said sure, and sent it out the next day UPS ground. I was stoked!! haha. Check your account or call maybe because that is weird they just sent you one without you asking or signing up but I'm sure there's no "catch"

My "first" cellspot came literally partially ran over by a truck and the base was in a couple pieces. the entire corner of the box was smashed but it still worked. They sent me a replacement because I had to prop it up between my external HD and tower lol.

Thanks for the replies to my Wi-Fi calling issues and thoughts. Sorry I didn't quote each one but I did hit the "Thanks" button ;)

So far since ditching "Call Recording" apps, I have been successful on keeping Wi-Fi calling working. No other glitches noted so I am hoping just a configuration issue regarding my apps, ect...

If it re-occurs or I come upon any other unexpected glitches, will definitely go the Odin back Ank4 - fresh start route. Hopeful I don't have to as it's such a pain resetting up the phone. :p

If anyone on this Rom has any suggestions for a "Call Recorder" app or xposed type addition since Wanam don't seem to enable that function at least on my Note 4 and it doesn't nix Wi-Fi calling functionality, please let me know.

Thanks! :highfive:
