Megalomanic's FireCat vs. his PopRock

I'm currently on an AT&T Note 4. Just purchased a T-Mobile Note 4, waiting for arrival.

Been having frustration with the current phone, I'm thinking likely due to lots of apps installed, including of course the standard bloat, and w/o root no way to determine what loads. Having other strange issues too. So hoping a new ROM will help all this.

Been perusing the ROMS and Meglaomanic's ROMS appear to be excellent.

I've been under the impression from threads on the AT&T Note 4 that KitKat performs better than LP. Not sure if that's accurate.

So if Performance (ie lack of lag when multitasking) and battery are a main driving factor, would I be best off with FireKat over PopRock? Or are they similar in performance/batt stats? Generally speaking I prefer latest versions of stuff, but not at expense of performance and battery.

(I typically don't post about ROM comparisons...but thought maybe it wouldn't be so politically incorrect when comparing 2 ROMS by same Dev.)

Thanks for any thoughts...

NVM ... Got infor from Mega in one of his ROM threads.

On V14 looking to change to V15

After trying cm12 and pop rocks for a few days I'm back on v14. I just finished setting everything back up... Xposed, themes, apps, and settings to my liking. I've always followed the installation procedure to the t. However, I'm staring at v15 wanting to update.

Is there any way to get back up and running quickly? Would titanium backup do it? Or do I just have to start from scratch again if I want v15?

I'm the kind of idiot who needs instructions... Sigh.

Thanks for any help!

Love it! but...

Been using firecat for the past 5 months and I love it. With one exception... (im gonna get flamed and people are gonna tell me to install power toggles or code it myself) but Why no flashlight toggle? i don't get it, plenty of other roms have this, but they have either this problem or that problem. For me, the data toggle and flashlight toggle are used all the time. And yeah power toggles works well, but it still causes extra overhead. My question then, is what is the problem with adding the toggles? you can make the fastest rom available for this device, but can't add 2 toggles? I'm not a programmer so i can't do it myself.. I was just wondering why you or someone else can't? :confused:

first time rooting or flashing a device

Mega,

I'm super impressed with everything related to your firekat rom and I'm going to try my hand at flashing it onto my phone tonight. I especially appreciate how involved you are in your thread and how actively you are working at perfecting this rom and device. V3 looks like it will be even better. I can't wait to see how this ends up.

I reached out to iunlock in a pm and he helped answer some questions for me so I think I'm ready to give this a shot. I used a note 2 with jedi x9 and then x20 for years and a note 3 with sbreens hyperdrive but I never rooted or flashed the roms myself. I have copied and pasted your instructions into a word doc and printed them out so I can go line by line as you instructed.

Thanks again for all of your hard work on making this amazing device that much better.

With each "update" am I supposed to delete everything and then re-install? Or can I update from V3 to V4 similar to an OTA where I can get all the new features without having to set everything up again.

re: flsahing new or updated roms

All you need to do after copying the rom zip file into your internal sdcard is to do a full and

complete wipe in twrp recovery which consists of Wipe data, system, cache, dalvik and last

but not least do a factory reset in twrp recovery before flashing the rom.

It's always a good idea to make a nandroid backup in twrp recovery before flashing.

Good luck!

Does this mean I lose all my customizations and settings for the previous version?

Can you direct me to where I can read more about "nandroid backup" and the steps involved to do this?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misterjunky:
re: nandroid backup

The nandroid backup and restore is a option in twrp recovery.

It's almost self explanatory. Steps involved are simply reboot

into twrp recovery and select "backup" making sure that the

"boot, system, data and cache" are check marked then swipe

to backup.

The backup twrp makes is more or less like a mirror of your

existing rom with all your personal settings, passwords and

so on which you can restore anytime.

By doing a full wipe you will loose all your settings and customizations

but a full wipe is always the best way to go to avoid issues and problems.

Good luck!

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misterjunky:
re: not registered on network

You post contains a lot of detailed information about your issue,

however you forgot to let everyone know the exact model #

of your note 4, there are many different models of note 4.

The "not registered on network" message is usually due to the

sim card not being compatible with the phone.

I would bet that if your phone's model is a N910T and you had

an active tmobile sim card you would not be having any issues.

Most likely your phone is not compatible with Note 4 phones.

You need to find out if the sim card that you are trying to use is

fully compatible with your Note 4's specific model number.

Do a google search to find out if your note 4 is compatible with

a gosmart sim card.
