I dirty flashed over my original v20 which was a clean flash. Working, which is good enough for me.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] slayer2333:
Hi Mega, i recently encountered a strange issue with the ROM (sorry, always coming up with strange problems):

When i turned on the phone for the very first time (after purchase) the first thing i did was to root and install recovery then make a nandroid of the stock ROM for later use.

Now when i found your ROM (thanks God ;) ) i downloaded a stock ROM for my phone, ODin then clean install and despite very good battery, there were several lags in the UI and also some strange behavior (phone turning itself silent mode without even touching it, sudden freezes that pushed me to remove the battery, etc..). UI suspected some kind of malware/viruses in the ROM that i downloaded (2 of them, one from XDA the other from another website).

I decided to restore the full Stock that came with the phone from TWRP (all partitions), do a stock reset, back to TWRP and Wipe everything (even internal SD) then install your latest Canadian ROM. Now we're talking, amazing snappiness back again.

The only issue that i had was the SD card that i could not modify (observed that when trying to install the framework for Xposed) and i had to use Foldermount (old trick to fix that issue) but i'm wondering how come this time i had the SD card write issue (whereas previously with the downloaded Firmwares i never had that)? Except that everything is amazing. Do you have an idea of what might be the cause ?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
You restored a twrp backup of the base instead of odin flashing the stock rom properly before flashing...you need to just follow the op instructions and odin properly then clean flash the build and xposed and your sd will function properly

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ojai00:
The explanation is in your post. When you wipe internal storage toy also clear out the permissions. This is easily fixed by using Fix Permissions in TWRP.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] slayer2333:
Well fixing the issue was no difficult. As for the permissions, when Odin the Firmwares i never had permissions issues despite Wiping the internal Storage every time, so i don't think that's part of it. I was just wondering why it happening when restoring the base, for each Mega answered in the post before.

Thank you though :good:

Google drive is killing me keeps failing
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea i saw what you were going for...but twrp is only system level which the sd could be a driver or subsystem issue ect that's why odin is the go to 99% of the time as a fail safe

Can you guys give me some advice / instructions please. I want to switch to this ROM from N5 Express (5.1.1). My device is N910T. Do I have to do anything extra / special? Thanks in advance :).
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Graivite:
1. Wipe data, cache, dalvik, system.

2. Install stock ank4 via odin.

3. Flash custom recovery.

4. Wipe again.

5. Install FireKat.

Let me know if my instruction is clear for you ;)

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EzraGarrison:
Well, Mega... Don't know when I'll be back... My Note 4 is 100% dead AF. Dropped it the other day and it landed square on the screen, separated the glass from the LCD and the LCD bled completely out. The screen is now solid black (took a day for it to cover entirely) and you know what the really jacked up part is? I just cancelled Jump 2 weeks ago. No insurance. No warranty. I'm pretty f*cked. Hoping I can find someone to fix it, but the LCD alone is $145... Now I'm stuck with this damn S4 and I still can't get wifi to work on the FireKat you wrote for me, no matter what baseband I Odin to it. I haven't felt this broken and helpless in forever. Anyway, I really hope I can figure something out and get another Note 4 or fix this one. I certainly don't want to move to a 5, or any other device at this point... Wish me luck, I guess :/
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Pick_A_Name:
Dude that sucks. Sorry to hear it. I bought my wife a N4 for $400 the other day. It was in pristine condition. Check out swappa or Craig's list. Best of luck man! Greg feel free to come over to the chat thread and hang out with us.

Oh damn man that really sucks to hear...yea that's a serious rock and hard case situation considering the cost of the panel itself...being stuck on the little phoned a bummer...Def hope you get things sorted man that sucks to hear

Hello op, why does this rom stuck on kitkat based?

Would battery life improve more if base rom is upgraded to lollipop?

Im planing to switch to note soon

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ojai00:
There is another thread for the Lollipop ROM. Those who decide to stay on KK mostly stay because they can use Xposed without the performance hits. Read the OP of the PopRocks thread for full details.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nine5raptor:
Many of us prefer KitKat and are grateful the Mega has maintained this rom.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bigillz:
Lollipop is slow, likely in part due to the change from Dalvik to ART. Lollipop on Note 4 is slower/less responsive than KitKat on Note 3. Thus, KitKat on Note 4 flies and is a proper upgrade from Note 3.

Thanks to [MENTION=5451734]megalomanic14[/MENTION] for providing the best option for Note 4s. Use Firekat unless there's some Lollipop-only feature you can't live without and is worth taking a performance hit for, then go with PopRocks.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol as you can see its not exactly stuck on anything...a huge number of people choose to run FK because it's far more efficient than any lp rom my own included...runs just as fast as any lp rom and has none of the issues with xposed LP does...that is why these guys and quite a lot of other people go this route

LP = Too much Google crap, infected with security junk, SELinux mingled mess, Knox communist lock out....

KK = Less corrupted. FREEDOM.

Search for my on screen time screen shots....I average 4+ hours at 50% and 7 hours of OST at the end of the day.

Lollipop won't come close to that.

Stupid question - to disable DVFS in Wanam Xposed, Touchwiz DVFS in advanced should be unchecked right? And Samsung DVFS Xposed module not required......also right?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Pick_A_Name:
Right and correct ;)

Seriously all you need is Wanam. Uncheck the box and done.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Brenneke:
Perfect thanks.....find the wording for that setting a little confusing!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lt.anthonydelgado:
If you can get the screen is pretty easy to install
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Pick_A_Name:
Yeah I agree they aren't always intuitive.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Haha right like pan said...a good way to double check in Wanam. ..is the white list box will be enable and clickable if dvfs is still active....if it's shut off the white list box below will be greyed out

Did you point it to where your backups are ?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SMR-DINO313:
Yes I did . I chose a external sdcard/data/titanium backup. It didn't work . I even created a new folder in my external card and it didn't work .

Works for me and I have external SD location too.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Not sure if this is a yuck because it's almost identical or because you ate a raw squid. Either way, it is only meant to provide a baseline to compare. It is hard to say anything is an improvement when compared to itself.

Got blisters on my fingers scrolling thru these screen shots.. thanks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
You should report that to tapatalk for posting them full size or possibly XDA for removing the BB options to resize images. Then again if one fling causes blisters, typing out a bug report may cause you to bleed from the fingertips.

I converted them to attachments so your tears may be saved for better things ;)

Try fixing permissions also. Titanium Backup is working fine for me, but I did have issues using it before I fixed permissions in recovery.

Or just clean flash it and not hope you get lucky when your system doesn't get jacked up lol...

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wase4711:
and, you can try that beta version 6 of Titanium that is floating somewhere around these forums..that one seems to work perfectly on all the newer roms..

First off, a disclaimer: I am still on V13x...

Now to my question. Do you all have apps that randomly do not show their icon? This is after a fresh restart. See the Chrome icon? It is random as to which icon is missing but I am often missing one or another. Also does not draw it in the app drawer. I haven't been on stock for a long time so not sure if it happens on it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] slayer2333:
Same here. Just restart the launcher (force stop from app manager)

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tongueman87:
At work just asked is all don't have time search I did read the OP guess I need to be a little more clear can I stay on cod6 or do I have to use Odin to flash back to kk vs just using twrp after downloading
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SIGMAxB:
Have to Odin
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jxlee0215:
I saw the douche part before you edited. Lol. Have to Odin stocks KK before flash
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tongueman87:
That's cool, I figured I would not be an example of a douche myself, an decided to simplify my question is all. As well just a question does tether still work on fk?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jxlee0215:
I wouldn't suggest tether unless you're planning on using the stock tethering app. Got kicked off sprint because they found I was using the tethering app. Might happen on t-mobile if you're on the unlimited lte plan.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Brenneke:
I know this sounds crazy but I get significantly better battery life (SOT) when I use the Samsung DVFS Xposed module. I have tried it back and forth and verified under same exact conditions. (Wanam setting only vs Samsung DVFS module)

I have been tempted by the fruit of another recently (PopRocks). This may convince me to try it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
Thanks for the confirmation. Would you be able to install xprivacy mod in xposed and confirm that it works without any pop ups like this... (see attached.)

If you could, after activating xprivacy, would you download a battery stats app or something that shows your phones system info...and confirm that it's restriction the data okay? The info for phone, Iemi, etc...should all read zeros and/or say Deface.

I'm just wanting to make sure nothing is broken when using xprivacy with LP 5.1.1 via xposed.

Thanks!

What's new in v21? I'm on v20 should I update?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
Thanks. I was referring to Lollipop 5.1.1.....I've been running xprivacy on FireKat v1 to v21x flawlessly.

There are concerns with LP 5.1.1 causing data leaks with xprivacy due to its intrusive nature of LP. That's why I've always stayed Kitkat. V21x is a beast so there's absolutely no incentive to run LP for me....it'd be going a step backwards for my usage habits...as I don't like broken apps lol due to LP.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
Haha valid point, but the Note 4's that I have are all pure kitkat 4.4 bootloaders, therefore, I don't have an LP 5.1.1 Samsung device to test it on. There's no way I'd ever update those to LP as I'm not a fan of LP at all.

I only have the LG v10 on 5.1.1, and have been testing it...so far so good.

Anyhow. ..yea praise to v21x...it's a beast.

I'm a little confused, which "tethering app" were you using?

Can you guestimate how much data you went through?

Was it the app or data usage that flagged you?

I'm on the same carrier and tether occasionally during outages and when traveling.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jxlee0215:
I was using foxfi, WiFi tether, and pdanet. Sometimes I was having problems connecting with foxfi & wifi tether,so i had to use usb thru pdanet. It was either foxfi or wifi tether. I would say a few MB.I had wifi at home but a few times it went down and I had to print out some shipping labels so I did tethering. Wasn't watching movies or streaming because sprint data was so slow. First time they sent me a letter stating they detected tethering. Then 2 months,when i tether again, another letter stating I had 30 days to find a new provider.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] catseyenu:
I've used both the APN "default,mms,dun" trick and Galaxy Tools to tether (desktop, laptop & tablet) through the native USB & wifi hotspot for short periods of time over the last year and never tripped Sprints trigger.

Maybe something changed? Did this happen recently?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jxlee0215:
Less than a year ago. I did all the apn settings. I was tethering for a few years, but never had any problems until then.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] catseyenu:
Thanks jxlee0215, I assume you went to TMo?

The only thing keeping me at sprint now is my Note 4 on FireKat...

I am trying to edit a picture name on external SD and it saying I don't have permission to and saying android 4.4 doesn't allow non stock apps to modify things... I am using Quickpic to try and edit names and seems like editing works with ES file explorer
