I have received a notification everytime on tmobile. I am still on v13x though so I cannot speak for later versions.

edit: is everything else functional: sms, mms, calls, data? Is it an APN settings issue?

Hello. I just wanted to share this with yall. Appearently there is now a way to make any note 4 a DEV edition allowing any firmware to be flashed including downgrades. I know it says verizon but i asked on the thread about N910T and i was told it had no effect on anything other than BL

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Quansz:
Which version has the best battery life? I've had V16 forever, tried V21x and it has worse battery life, seems it favors some more performance over battery life.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Pick_A_Name:
Did you give v21 time to settle? 3-5 days it usually takes. Actually I bought a new battery and reflashed and it took over a week before it settled.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Quansz:
I just flashed it again today and I'll try sticking it with for like 2 weeks. Normally I only stuck with it a few days. I noticed that going through my usual uninstalling the bloatware with Titanium for V21X caused the battery to drain a ton. But it's needed otherwise there's a huge delay between pressing the home button and the phone going to the home screen. Killing bloated apps removes that delay. If at the end of 2 weeks battery life still sucks I'll reflash again and again and try to debloat as little as possible until the home screen loads fast. If the battery life is still bad then I'll just go back and stick with V16X.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Pick_A_Name:
Is it possible you've deleted something that something in the ROM relies on causing the poor battery life? Have you tried using Wake Lock Detector App to see exactly what is keeping your device running? Something has to show up as using the juice. Could be that Google Play Services is chewing through resources (as it is my device). It's really awful what they keep doing with their apps/services.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Quansz:
Yeah I came to the same conclusion. This attempt I only removed apps that I felt were definitely removable and didn't remove anything that I thought was a service. It seems the battery life is about on par with what I had on V16 now so I am pretty happy.

That said, my deep sleep still drains too much for my liking. I'm losing like 1% every 2 hours. I'm using Amplify, Greenify and Power Nap too. I think I had like 1% every 3 hours or more on V16.

Hello I'm currently running the Texxodus rom on my Canadian N910W8. I want a faster ROM, do you know if it is the same process to downgrade as a regular installation ? What about a Kernel, should I install some custom one or the ROM installation will take care of that?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] demon28:
Yes you should downgrade to 4.4.4 and no you don't really need a custom kernal as the one included is stock but real good running smooth for this ROM
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] UlysseFR:
Thanks demon28. I'm struggling to find a chainfire root for 4.4.4 because it is now old stuff. Everything seems only available now for lollipop only:

samsung	SM-N910W8	trltecan	trltecan	APQ8084	apq8084	LMY47X.N910W8VLU1COK3	5.1.1	31 806 847	Download	873c4ebf5ad75bad1f745b36898ca14e	42 758
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] demon28:
Is your compatible with the T-Mobile version 4.4.4 if so I may be able to assist.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] UlysseFR:
Good question. I guess but not 100 percent sure.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] noob4598:
I know this might be a silly question.....but can this rom be ported to run on 5.1.1 firmware
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nine5raptor:
The instructions for the Canadian version are near the bottom of the OP. I'm surprised you can't find cfautoroot. I'll see if I have it. The rom is prerooted as well (I think - I've been on v13x for a long time!).

Edit: I would recommend the 5.1.1 version for the 910w8 instead of my 910t version if you are feeling adventurous.

See Poprocks for a lollipop rom from the same dev. For me though, kitkat is such a better base.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] noob4598:
Yeah I have used pop rocks but I love KK. I used fire kat n3 almost the whole time I had it and there is no comparison. I love the KK UI and it's so much faster and more stable in my opinion. what im wondering is if N5 S6 S7 and many other phones roms can be ported to note 4 and all the other crazy things we can do with these machines.....why can't a KK rom be ported
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] seriousneo:
So v21 is the latest and probably the last version of Firekat right?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KennyLG123:
Thats the latest version..
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chokolademan:
Hello I got a firekat running on a 910f. It works with flashing ank5 with the Israel or Ireland version 4.4.4 beforehand if someone is wondering.

The batterylife is not yet what I see from the other people here. I just got 3,5 hours sot.

But I let it settle and hope to get more sot.

Anyway, I used to have Deep Sleep Battery and Greenify installed with my roms. With those installed I used to have 5 hours sot with stockrom. Now I want to use them also with Firekat to get more then just the 3,5 sot.

Are Deep Sleep Battery and Greenify recommended with Firekat?? Or counterproductive?

And what other apps can help get more sot?? Thank you! :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nine5raptor:
I run greenify and xposed on FireKat. I could get 6-7 hours SOT (have in the past) but gaming just kills it. Playing 3d heavy games I will still get 3.5-4 hours though.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chokolademan:
Aah, thanks for the reply. 3.5-4 hours sounds nice allready including 3d games.

When running xposed, what kind of xposed-modules do you run?

Or do you mean the xposed functiones within Greenify?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nine5raptor:
These are the ones I use. Appopsxposed is great for. controlling permissions.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chokolademan:
Thanks for the xposed tips! Darktube looks nice for energy saving on the screen and I'll try the others out. Nice to know that there's another appops with xposed. I had a different one which didn't work anymore.

I also tried Deep Sleep Battery and it still works amazingly for the standby time.

The rom is now settling a bit. I don't know if it is because of Deep Sleep Battery, but the SOT has gone a bit up to 5 hours.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nine5raptor:
I'll have to check out deep sleep battery. Haven't seen that one.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chokolademan:
I'm now trying to get a touchwiz tweak running. Where I want to change the grid size of the icons to 5x5 and adding extra home screen pages from 7 to 9.

Running the international version of firekat, the touchwiz apk also has an odex file.

I got enough information on which places in the apk I can modify it.

But i'm not sure about the odex part, which is a bit confusing.

I think I have 3 different questions:

1: Can I edit the apk and leave the odex ? Or how should I handle this?

2: Can I use a different touchwiz also a 4.4.4 version from another rom, or is the Firekat one a special tweaked one?

3: Is there a special reason the international version is odex? Can I convert it to deodex without problems so the editing will be wat easier?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] marauderrt10:
Guys I'm having issues with the newest version of firekat on my note 4. Firstly I keep getting the error message Touch wiz home has stopped working. Secondly I've had issues with googleleadservices on all browsers. And lastly I am having major issues with Samsung SNS installer. My fb app doesn't work and neither does messenger because it needs permission from SNS when I type credentials in the screen just goes away and then when I go on fb it says news feed error.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] imafriend123:
is it true that kitkat has better battery life?

what are the disadvantages of not upgrading to the latest android.. are the latest versions of apps still compatible with kitkat?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] force70:
Yes and no, for some definitely for others not so much. Battery life is so variable due to numerous reasons its not something thats always a direct answer.

Early adopters of new android versions can sometimes find compatibility issues with apks and mods but it doesn't last that long. Running Android N on my nexus 6p gor example...lots of stuff not compatible with it but its not released it so not a shocker lol

No idea. . Kit kat was like ages ago for me....

Dude there is a Q&A thread for the rom and none of this is rom related anyway.

A good idea next time for these general questions to use the general q&a thread...you will get better and more answers likely.

Not sure about 5.1.1. I've been on this rom for quite some time and I get a good day and a half on a single charge with heavy non gaming use. Should be noted that I have a bad battery and I still have these results. That being said, I'm in the process of updating to 5.1.1. since bugs and bleeps should be ironed out by now. I'll rock 5.1.1. For a while until I decided to flash MM

Battery definitely better that 5.0.1.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rudbwoy:
Well, I've never smelled my hot Note 4 'til now.:( I shoulda stayed on KK. Maybe it's just my device. I know 5.1.1 will kill this battery(two month old OEM replacement) within a year or less. Is the grass greener on the Lollipop side? Yes, but there are some trade offs. My Note 4 runs warmer now than it did on KK. Battery life is still being assessed. I got great battery like from FK V13X. Now that I'm on DOK2, Imma have to deal with it:rolleyes:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] demon28:
I must agree I'm on the 5.1.1 build and I like some of its features however I do agree KK build was much. Simpler to manipulate and keep stable.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] slayer2333:
Hi Folks,

Been out some time after using FK and pretty happy with it so far. Now back on xda i see that MM is available. Any impressions as to how it compares to Kitkat battery/smoothness wise ?

Also does it lock kernel (like 5.1) so no downgrade after?

Please let me know!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] netgar:
9Hi,

I have a probably very silly questions.

As u can see I still use KK, and I am rooted using odin. No twrp yet as of now. I really like kk and I dont want to update to lollipop or mash mellowe.

Before I upgrade my n4 to this ROM I just want to ask some questions since this is very important to me. I just want to make sure that certain apps and modules work without problems. Anybody? my friends use firekat rom with modules? Pict attached.

....and apps:

-Wifi tether router

-Kodi and spmc apps in split screen, see attachment.

Those apps and modules are very important to me. Please guys give me any feedback how that works. My stock KK acts from time to time. I just want to load more stable and batery long run ROM.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rudbwoy:
1>Nandroid backup, and backup all your data, pics, documents, etc.

2>Read all you can in this thread. OP 1 and 2 have all you need to be successful, and this thread has a lot of user experience/Q&A you can search through.

3>Enjoy your KK phone. IMO, No need to go to 5.0 or higher right now.

Thank you rudbwoy for your suggestions. I'm sorry but what is OP 1 and 2? If may I ask.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] netgar:
Hopefully someone will help me and won't send me to rereading this thread again. I read few times OP1 and OP2 and about 100 or more posts. I am already rooted with stock 4.4.4 ROM (please see attached picture). All I have to do is:

Do factory default first? (I have installed xposed and other apps) or go straight to #1

1. Odin Flash Twrp

2. Advanced Wipe

Data

System

Dalvik

Cache

3. Wipe

4 Flash FireKat v21.zip

5. Reboot and Let Rom boot up

6. Let Rom sit for 10 to 15 mins

Is it right? I just dont want to brick my phone which is very expensive.

One more thing, I can't fine the latest 21 or I can see in OP1 is FireKat N4 Deodex Ank4 v20XxXR

Thank you again for your help.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rudbwoy:
Stock, rooted, but no custom recovery yet?

Nandroid first, and then save that back up some where off your phone. Either move to your external microsd, or copy to computer. Then factory default. Then start at your step #1.

I'd do step number 2 and 3, above, three times, then proceed with the rest of the steps. Megalomaniac hosts his own site, should go there and chime in as well. All the downloads are there(couldn't find V21 though, only V20) .

http://androiduncensored.com/index.php?topic=10.0

Oh man, do I regret moving away from this release to lollipop. My searching has turned up that there's no way to go back from LP to KK. But can this be run on an LP BL with or without an LP kernel? Just checking.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rudbwoy:
Mega should redo OP#1. Big Bold lettering at the top warning users about upgrading to LP from KK. Don't do it! :p Try FK before making a decision!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ytj87:
I knew there was no way to go back, but never thought LP would be such a mess. After 3 ROMs and 3 kernels I was desperate to see if KK was in any way possible using some method I didn't know about.

But, fingers crossed, I have the Emotion kernel running on 5.1.1 as of last night and so far so good. Tweaking the governors and such has really helped.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] noob4598:
Full downgrade has been confirmed from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1. And I know the MM release unlocked the bootloader for a couple variants and allowed them to go all the way back to KK. So if anyone has taken the MM update is feeling froggy you might get lucky and be able to jump back to ANK4. No one has tried yet.

I think I am doing something wrong when I flash FK rom. I dont know how the screen should looks like but those are my shots. I dont have any additional apps installed. Basically FK looks like stock image. It toos 3~4min to boot main screen. That looks rally strange to me. I followed this:

2. Odin Flash Chainfire Auto Root

3. Odin Flash Twrp

4. Boot Into Twrp

5. Advanced Wipe In Twrp: check only

*Dalvik

*Cache

*System

*Data

***DO NOT Wipe Internal storage

6. Swipe to complete Advanced Wipe

7. Flash FireKatN4ANK4V11X.zip

8. Reboot

9. Let the rom rest 15 mins or so

10. Setup and enjoy the new fk goodness

are there any extra apps installed in FK ROM?

Thank you for your help.
