Noon Question

I'm so sorry for the noob question but I have a Canadian Note 4 n910w8 and I'm currently on another ROM, I tried reading instructions and searching if anyone else clarified it but the Canadian instructions are confusing for me.

Can anyone please give me the steps on how to flash this ROM?

I don't get what flashing bases are etc.

Really appreciate any help.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
My op instructions are pretty strait forward ans explicit what's confusing?...base means stock rom...you'd just get a repost of my instructions not sure how else we could explain it tbh

V18x officially now on all the Note 4'! (x5)

Was MIA yesterday, but had V18x running on my phone. Not much screen time because I was busy out and about all day. Today will be my first full charge cycle. Looking good so far!

V18x is snappier and feels more refinded. The recent apps button is quicker than v17x and just seems more fluid overall. FK shines to bring out the best and to make maximum use of our 805. There is a hint, of there being a lack of torque though vs the Exynos as there still is the reminense of stickiness being limited to the CPU's capabilities. However, it has no affect on usability for daily use. Overall, I do feel that v18x is closer to match that of PR in speed, but the overall on screen time may still be on FK'S side. It's pretty fascinating to be comparing at this level and just comes to show how far we are from stock, let alone other devices out there. (Excluding the Note 5 / Edge 6+ as that's pretty much our benchmark.)

I've been playing Grand Theft Auto (San Andreas) and it's been doing pretty well. Flight simulator games are good too...one thing I did notice is that the transitions in the games seem to be a little more smoother. Then again this could all very well be a placebo effect on a fresh install haha.

I'm looking forward to seeing some screen times! As always, thanks Mega for your masterpiece. It's priceless and well appreciated!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Do you have a exynos n4? Yea I'm def curious to feel the speed vs pr cuz pr is running insanely fast on my setup lol its making it hard to come back to check out fk lol

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
I have a family member who does. A white Int. Note 4. I've tested PR and it's really fast. IMO, yes it's faster than FK, but by a smidge although it is more fluid overall.

There must be some kind of wizard of oz burn in period, because V18X feels faster now that I have everything set up. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems as if it has better RAM management in that once apps have been opened, it's super quick to access them....like how RAM works, but I'm talking more from a user experience. I'm quite impressed....I didn't notice this much in V17X, although it was pretty fast....

For future readers: Keep in mind that we're talking on a whole different level in terms of our definition of speed and fast. FK is already beyond galaxies above a stock ROM, so when I say that V18X is faster etc....I'm already speaking from the stand point of it being fast. So with you running FK alone, you're within the FireKat galaxy realm....V18X just so happens to be a new planet than V17X...just better.....Hope you get my drift LOL....So our "fast/quick/speed," is different than the regular fast/quick/speed.

---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------

If PR is working flawlessly for you.....hhmm...touch call.

The only reason I'm on FK is because of my particular setup and the apps that are a must have for me, works perfectly on KK.. If it wasn't for that, I'd be bouncing back and forth like there was no tomorrow LOL...

That'd cool I've always wanted to try the exynos n4... yea exactly... that's why especially on the last 2 builds being so optimized once you open a majority of your apps and they load in the RAM, dalvik and cache things actually speed up... that's part of a break in period where your battery life gets better and your speed improves yea...awesome dude

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
Sweet! Yea that's awesome bro. It's been amazing.....I'm on my first charge cycle and can't wait to see what happens. Even though it's only the first that is HAHA....

Exynos N4 is very quick. Only if it could support our bands for LTE here in the States, I'd be all over it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yeah man I haven't been able to bring myself to go back... My setup especially on v13 is just so fast and smooth... and now that the battery life is back up to over 4 hours of full brightness charging every other night... the only reason I would go back is to run xposed for wanam to literally seen a few bits of the toggles and the background of settings and yt adaway...that's It...that's why I've haven't been back tbh i modded 99% of my xposed bits native or we have them in op2 for pr which def made it so much easier for me to enjoy pr

You know you're a FK addict when you're total run time off the charger is 2.5 hours and your On Screen Time is 2.3 Hours LOL! (At 75%)

That's nuts lol... yeah I mean if I used more xposed mods I would probably never run anything but Fk... But I've definitely enjoyed pr and for what little I miss wanam i have it on all my other devices that I play with a majority of the time....I still want to come back and run it it's just complicated by my setup running so well compounding my laziness haha

What I do when there's not an md5 handy is download it twice, preferably using two different computers, but it doesn't really matter as you can download the same file twice (at the same time) on the same computer.

When I downloaded the latest v18X, I downloaded it twice. One on my Mac and one on my Windows laptop that's right next to me. Then looked up the md5's and they both matched. It gave me the confidence that it was a complete download.

Hope this helps. :highfive:

I have given up on Xposed and lollipop for awhile. the speed differential is just a killer and I have to have xprivacy. I have tried CM, 5.02 ports, 5.1.1 t3 roms, they work great WITHOUT xposed. once you install xposed though, it literally kills the processing speed. the latest play store literally crawls for some reason.

So I am back for good, and wanted to pop in to sayTHANK!!!! to Mega for keeping up with this rom. I am THIS close to buying a new ipod, just to spite google for locking down lollipop and samsung screwing up the Note5.... all I want is a 6" screen with dual speakers, a ir sensor and a sd card is that too much to ask for:p:p:p

whining over.

does anyone have the latest sketchbook and Snote apps...the links in the OP are dead.

Yea man xposed stability and compatibility died with the end of the Golden age of android imo....I'm just so stoked we lucked out and n4 launched with 4.4.4 so we got the best note ever on the final build ever of classic awesome android where everything just works lol...enjoy bro

V18X - 5 Hours OST at ~50%

Something's wrong. I need help. When I unplugged my phone today to complete my full charge cycle, I only did the following, but I'm only getting 5 Hours of OST.

~40mins. of YouTube this morning at 75%

Setting up the phone all day.

Active on Tapatalk throughout the day.

Active on Chat Clients all day.

A few phone calls.

Streaming Music for ~30mins. from my PLEX.

Working on some files on Google Drive.

Moderate surfing on the web.

Uploading some pictures from my phone to Dropbox....

Screen brightness has been 50% most of the day (being indoors) and 75% occasionally when I was outside.

I've flashed V18X thinking that I was going to get better screen times, but I think something is wrong with my phone. I think my software has a glitch because it's saying that I have 5 Hours so far, but it's at ~50%.

Please help. I don't want to have to go buy an iphone.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
Yea I totally understand. This is why for the first time in my phone-life I skipped out on the Note 5. I wanted it so bad, but the harsh reality for me (I'm sure with you as well) was: No Xposed and xprivacy = No Go.

Thankfully for FireKat running flawlessly like it is with all the bells and whistles I throw at it, lately I haven't even thought about the Note 5. Sad....because I would have been all over it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
We already have all the features ripped and the launcher/icons lol...we basically have the n5 already just without losing the perks and build of our note

Screen off air memo

note 5 air command both already ported over lol

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
It's more so the buzz of having something new. In this case, new hardware. I really want an Exynos powered phone and although the Note 5 isn't perfect with the direction it went, if it had the ability to run FK from the start, I would have been the first guy in line LOL....Either way we look at it the 805 has it's limits for power users and it can be felt in some circumstances..

I'm happy with the Note 4 on V18X.....honestly it's a life saver and has kept me from going crazy from the "upgrading," withdrawals.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea i def get that...the novelty of a new toy is fun...when do you feel like your overpowering your n4? This is something I can't say I've experienced to be honest...most of the power difference between them is gpu based which nothing even taxes our gpu as is but like 4 or 5 new intense games...when are you overpowering it?

I do a lot of multi-tasking so when I take pictures of properties for example for my clients (real estate), I'm using multi-window a lot. I also use photoshop to crop images etc...so at any given time I have a million apps open with a lot of rendering etc... All the while I have over 10+ Gmail accounts synced along with 4 work emails with K9 Mail. Well with Gmail, when it sycns all at once, it crashes the app, then when I try to go back into recent apps for other stuff, there's a long lag. A lot of this can be the lack of having more RAM, but the main thing is that with my multi-tasking daily usage habits, I could use some more torque, because the amount of stuff that I have going on is definitely abnormal compared to the average user. There are other instances, but without mentioning those, the reason I know this to be true (hardware limit) is because I have had experience with an international Note 4 to compare it to. Let alone the Note 5, which a few guys have at the office and they do mostly the same stuff that I do, multi-tasking wise for work.

This is all on the office Note 4 by the way....no xprivacy, no restrictions, just straight up V18X and the world with nothing in between.

The snapdragon 805 is no slouch, but it 'ain't' a champ either. What makes it shine above its pay grade is the magic you've done to it. The Exynos powered Note 4 stock pushes almost 10K more in benchmarks than the stock 805 Note 4 alone. Not that they are to be taken more than a grain of salt, but the point is an Exynos powered phone is preferred for power users. On the other hand, 805 by itself stock on the N4 is more than enough for most users, but once they start pushing the limit, the lack of torque is felt. I can boldly say that if it wasn't for FK, I'd have a Note 5 in my hands right now along with a Note 3 as my daily driver since I can run the good ol' Jelly Bean, which is my favorite to date.

What you've done to the Note 4 powered by the 805, is take it to a level in which it can compete against its competition in a higher class. That in itself is fantastic. Like a fully modded sports car on the Nurburing going up against monsters like the Porsche, Ferrari, and alike. The 805 is nowhere near that class, but it's able to hang. That is amazing....:highfive:

I actually do a ton of 4 and 5 window multitasking on my s800 n12 with a similar setup Is why I wondered...9 Gmail accts...5 launchers etc...but I simply close the random apps or games Im not using...so I can't remember seeing my n3 or n4 stutter tbh

I mean to be fair would be like opening every folder and program on a beast gaming pc with a titan z and being like man I need more power I'm skipping some frames haha..I def really like my exynos hw based devices...n10 n8 n2. ..but tbh I'm more excited to see the new exynos hw from next year to match the 820...they're gonna be monsters
