The mate 9 is nice also but they goofed.

They should have made the pro the 6 incher with sd support as is it a much nicer device design wise. But no they make the high end version with a dinky little screen and no sd card lol.

Yeah if the 7 comes back out Im getting one lol ..still have mine but works on wifi only.

And your sig says your running an s8 !

Gota ditch that snapdragon though and yet the exynos :thumbup:

Hey everyone,

So, I read through the initial posts a few times, and I think I want to run this ROM. I've got a T-Mo Note 4 running Maximum Overdrive (6.0.1), baseband N910TUVU2EPE3. I have the following questions; please forgive the n00bish nature:

1. Will I need to downgrade my baseband to run this? If so, does the ROM do this automatically, or will I need to seek out a baseband downgrade separately?

2. There seemed to be a notion that I would need to flash a base ROM and then an updated one immediately after. Am I correct in this? If so, which ones do I need to flash (there were dozens of links on the initial posts).

Thank you for the help!

Joey
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] brc6985:
IIRC, you'll need to Odin the N9T2 firmware (N910T2UVU2AOG1) in order to go back to KK on the N910T model. Then you can flash this rom, and you will also need to flash the Nadia kernel, otherwise it won't boot. Check this thread for more info: https://xdaforums.com/note-4-tmobile/general/news-want-to-downgrade-to-4-4-4-kitkat-t3447773

EDIT:

Also, FYI, Mega's MM build SmoresV1 is pretty awesome, and I'm getting damn near as good battery life on it as I did on FireKat. It did take Amplify, Greenify, and PowerNap to achieve the battery life I'm getting (nearly 6hrs SOT), but the ROM is solid - without a single issue, and really smooth. I'm not sure about the rules here, as to whether I can post a link to it, so PM me if you want the link.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] voyager529:
Thanks for the information, [MENTION=4779475]brc6985[/MENTION]. I'm thinking I may well go down that road. I attempted SmoresV1 as suggested; it seemed like a pretty basic stock ROM, which I'm more-or-less okay with, though Xposed didn't seem to want to play ball and I'm still getting random lockups and reboots. I'm going to give the KitKat procedures you linked a try and see if that helps; I don't know why my phone decided to thoroughly take a dump this past weekend, but I definitely appreciate your help.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KennyLG123:
Smores is built like firekat. Mega tweaked smores the same way as firekat. There both a tweaked stockish roms...im sure the only rom xposed didnt play well with is poprocks LP rom 5.0.1..well im just saying the roms were built to work with the base and stock kernel to give the best preformence...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] brc6985:
That's strange - SmoresV1 is working perfectly fine for me with Xposed and several modules installed, as well as Beastmode r56.8 kernel. Were you sure to do a full wipe (Dalvik, Data, System, and Cache) a few times before installing? It's also good idea to wipe before and after Odin as well.

Anyways, pretty much any ROM by Mega is great, but Smores has given me the most satisfaction thus far. I'm currently testing the latest version of RamROM, but there are too many little problems to keep it as a daily driver.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Dataman100:
SmoresV1

Never mind. I found Mega's site and info. Apologies for the noob post.

-------------------------

I'd love to give SmoresV1 a try. Would someone please PM the link? Are there any docs on installation? I think I have to Odin something before I install it. Also, I know there's something about not being able to go back to KK once you're beyond a certain BL level. I've tried to read about it but the threads seemed contradictory. Any help would be most appreciated.

I've been very hesitant to give up FireKat, but since I'm already three Android versions behind, it may be time to upgrade.

Thanks,

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] brc6985:
You'll need to Odin the PE3 base before installing SmoresV1. Also, see my post on the previous page for a link to info on downgrading back to KK from MM.

EDIT: I can confirm the downgrade works, however my phone is an N910T2, and that KK firmware was made for this phone. I've downgraded from both LP to KK, and from MM to KK.

I see this as well, but the model I'm working with is a T3. I keep hearing there is no difference, but want to be sure.

Thanks in advance for any help!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KennyLG123:
Well the T3 version has different hardware. The t2 firmware isnt compatible with the t3... the 910t3 is in a class of its own unfortunately.. plus the t3 wasnt released with KK firmware it started out on LP...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] violentmind:
Much thanks

Thanks for the quick reply. I see the roms mixed for these two model numbers, and really liked what this build brought to the table, so thanks for confirming this for me.

Anyone have another suggestion of a daily driver that I can flash for the T3 coming from 6.0.1?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Dataman100:
Thanks brc. I found the post with the link to how to install SmoresV1 from FK, followed the directions, and installed. So far I like it. My first impression is that I'm probably getting a little less SOT, but not a significant amount. It also seems to get warmer quicker if I use it a lot. Deep Sleep time seems to be similar with Greenify and some basic battery saving techniques.. I notice it's missing the native ad blocking Mega put in FireKat. I think it was just Adaway he incorporated in to the ROM so I'm going to try that. Also, having to access the external SD card via the Document Provider system in Titanium made it much slower to restore my apps. Took almost 5 hours for 180+ apps to be restored. As much as I liked FireKat, I needed to be on MM (or LP) to use the new Alexa messaging. Glad Mega released a MM version.

Thanks for your help,

Dave
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ElMadre:
Sorry if this has been answered, but since there is recent activity in here and I all of a sudden have an issue, thought I'd ask:

I have a T-Mobile N910T, and have been running FireKat (4.4.4) v18 for a couple of years and loving it (with Xposed, etc). I have an urgent need to get on Android 5 or above for work purposes, but don't know want to screw myself in the process. What are the best options for upgrading and still maintaining as much flexibility as possible?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KennyLG123:
MM is just as great as KK. LP reminds me of windows vista. Look around the tmo threads their is a few topics on MM odin files. Im still on PE3 and still runs great on the newer and older modded roms. But remember after you flash mm you need to do a factory restore from stock recovery to remove all the KK bits left over. Thats to make sure that there is no problems down the road... then grab cf aoto root and twrp and flash from odin. MEGA built a rom based on mm PE3 i saw a link in one of his threads it runs as good as firekat its called Smorse v1...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ElMadre:
Thanks for this. I assume that if I want to use Smores, I should only upgrade to PE3, and not go to the latest firmware I see here (QC1)?:

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note4/SM-N910T/
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KennyLG123:
Im still on PE3 and can use a lot roms built on the newer bootloader and run just fine. But i cant say if your on the newest bootloader how the older roms will act..i only used smores on PE3...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] noob4598:
It runs fine on QC1. I actually just discovered Smores last night......made my day ha... I installed it today and I'm on latest firmware. Runs great.....as expected. There is no changelog/list of tweaks right?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KennyLG123:
I wasnt that sure with the note 4, i have other devices that will work either way. Im running Racerom on PE3 still and runs great.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KennyLG123:
There is a link for smorse one page back noob flashed it on the newer bootloader if you still need smores v1...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] noob4598:
BTW anyone who flashes: Don't worry about what the updater script says when you flash. The script says Overdrive Rom but it's not....it is Smores. I'm assuming ( [MENTION=5451734]megalomanic14[/MENTION] correct me if I'm wrong ) the dev used OD's dev base for Smores base.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KennyLG123:
It came from a dev base for development i noticed that myself.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] brc6985:
This failed because you're trying to odin the N910T stock KK firmware. In order to downgrade, you have to use the N910T2 firmware (N910T2UVU2AOG1). This will work on the N910T model, but I'm not sure if this works on the N910T3 model..

EDIT: Sorry, just went back and read that Kenny had already answered your question. So yeah, I'd say don't try flashing any KK firmware on that phone if it was never released with KK - might end up bricking it. Stick to LP and MM roms.

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 AM ----------

Did you install the Xposed framework? I haven't had any problems with it on this ROM. And the Amplify / PowerNap modules have made a huge difference in battery life for me. With the BeastMode kernel, I can get over 6hrs of SOT if it's just browser/reddit.

Also, if you're using a custom kernel, you could try undervolting the CPU a bit to help with the heat. For me, it gets hot when it boots, but after Kernel Adiutor settings are applied, it cools back down quickly and doesn't really get too hot afterwards.

5 Hours to restore 180 apps is a VERY long time.. Time for an SD card upgrade?? ;)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ElMadre:
I can confirm that I've got Smoresv1 up and running nicely with the latest firmware, QE2, which just came out recently. Xposed is installed, everything seems to be working fine. Definitely feels snappier than KK. Just missing a few things, like ability to hide battery icon, and getting ride of tinted status bar (still looking for solutions on those...).
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KennyLG123:
Thats great news.. There might me some modules for xposed . I used to run wanam with megas roms but the new wanam for mm is Xtouchwix..it doesnt have theming built in but still some decent mods...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ElMadre:
Yeah, I'm using Xtouchwiz---it's got a couple of things I used to use in Wanam, but not all.....

Oh, lovely, I just discovered Firefds kit module--it's a modded version of Xtouchwiz, and includes most of the other stuff I was looking for. Nice!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] netgar:
Hi guys,

Im currently on 21v of firekat.m My question is how I can do clean flash to 22v without knocking the knox again. Should I just factory reset of my phone? I have installed xposed framework.

My Firekat just slowed down a bit that's why I need fresh ROM.

Im using n910t, but NK4 band.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KennyLG123:
Im just trying to understand what you mean by knocking knox again. Freshing it up wont trip knox again..Just do a clean install advance wipe delvic/cache Data and System. And reflash v21 is the best way.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] netgar:
So if I go to twrp and wipe delvic/cache Data and System, after that I need to flash v22 and SU. SU will knock down knox again. Is it right?

Thx for your help
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KennyLG123:
firekat is prerooted. But even if you installed supersu again it wont add to tripping knox if it was already tripped.. if it already is 0x1 if you did flash root again it will remain 0x1.. but yes once you clean up in twrp then flash firekat.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zeuszoos:
Cool! :)

Questions:

Does it have the Screen Overlay fix in it?

Does it have the Ext SD Card Writes fix in it?

I do not want to "Adopt" it into being one storage.

I'm running FK V22 (for KK) now, so I am curious. :)

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ElMadre:
I confess I don't know what the Screen Overlay fix is----describe the issue, and maybe I can check.

External storage works as it did on KK--no issues.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zeuszoos:
MM has an issue where almost every new app you installed would generate a "Screen Overlay" warning and you'd have to go in and Disable that for almost every app or it would keep happening. But then not having it on for certain apps would break them. It's about whether or not an app can draw over (overlay) the entire screen.

It's another dumbass "security" attempt that doesn't add any security by Google that just instead screws up users' devices, just like the Ext SD Card Writes issue.

A Screen Overlay patch was put out by a member that worked beautifully!

But for the Ext SD Card, that MM Patch didn't work right.

Remember, in KK, Google only allowed Writes to the Data folders on the card and nowhere else. So when you say that it "works like in KitKat", what do you mean? Google's Default? Or like KitKat after the Patch/Fix is applied and you can Write anywhere on the Ext SD Card?

FYI, for MM, Google added the option to "Adopt" your Ext SD Card, that joins it with the Internal Storage and makes it like one storage. I do NOT want to do that!

You see, I installed FireKat for KK on this phone AFTER I had already installed the Ext SD Card Write Fix. So I don't know if it would have fixed it for me or not. I'm ignorant about that.

I want my Ext SD Card to be a separate storage and to be able to Write to any location on it. I don't mean App Data. That installs where it installs. I mean that, for example, in FK for KK, I download to my Ext SD using my Web Browser, I put my music on it, I even have my phone tweaked to save Screenshots to it, etc.. I want to be able to Write to it anywhere, like in Jelly Bean. And that's what I can do now in KitKat.

I had MM on this phone. I updated to it when I got the phone (after Rooting, Recovery, KK SD Fix, et al). But while I got the Screen Overlay fixed (patch), the Ext SD Card patch did not fully work and that's why I went back to KitKat (had to use the "T2" ROM on my "T" to accomplish it). Then I started looking for a good KK ROM and that's when I installed FireKat. :)

Thank You for Your Time!!!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zeuszoos:
ElMadre,

Did you see my post?

Do you get those Screen Overlay error messages?

What did you mean by the Ext SD Card works like it does in KitKat? Does that mean before or after the Write Fix is applied?

Thanks

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] C-4Nati:
This rom is fine so far. I still have about the same stutter in the app drawer as stock. The only other complaints aren't really negative about the rom itself but more towards lack of customizable options, which I know will come as custom roms are still few and far between with a new device. Just suggestions: would be awesome to remove the 's finder' and 'quick connect' from pull down bar, the ability to move the app drawer icon so I could put in the middle as opposed to only the right, and ability to remove the 'am/pm' in status bar. Yes I'm aware xposed exists, but do not like it. Solid rom though.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] paulie_gogetit:
OK - so the .zip file needs to be extracted first I'm presuming?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
re: app store stutter and or lag

Have you ever tested the app drawer using a different launcher

instead of the stock touchwiz launcher to see if there is any

stuttering?

There are many to choose from at the play store, why not test the

Go launcher and or Nova launcher to see if you still experience

stuttering or lag in the app drawer?

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] C-4Nati:

Don't like xposed, but appreciate the suggestion. I'll wait until updates (hopefully) bring customization options in settings.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I'm with junky if you have any lag or don't like touchwiz try any 3rd party launcher like Nova, apex, galaxy, smart, s, Holo, kit kat ect ect lol...i have several all setup with different themes layouts ect...you have full touchwiz everything as far as s pen, notifications, apps, and settings...literally all that changes is your home screen and app drawer..

Also some of you guys may simply be watching these overly long 4.4.4 kit kat animations and equating that as a lag...simply turn the animation speed to .5x from 1x in dev options and this vanishes...thats google not samsung that has implimented those insane transitions so I can't blame tw for that...but it's also been noted in op2 since day 1 lol
