Pieces of it might but its not recommended. Its a perk for this rom and should be used as such. Best not to ask here. Its kind of insulting. Like going to a car dealer and saying the stereo is nice but I don't like the car its in. Why you'd use another ROM anyways is beyond me.....haven't found one better out there yet.

People its considered rude to ask questions and recommend other Roms here. Please stop doing so. This forum is for DYNAMIC ROM. Please don't Post question or answers regarding other Roms here. There's a reason they have their own forums as well.

OK Google seems to have been fixed for pretty much everyone. I haven't had a single issue with the new 4.1 since I installed it. Preciously I (and several others) would lose that functionality until clearing caches and rebooting to get it to recognize the voice command. Not any more....woot!!

Indeed, this is the best rom out there. And i jave tried them all, aosp and stock based. Starting with batery almost two days with 7-8 hours sot. Fast-smooth and more options to costumize than all of them. So once and for all, dont ask or compare.its rude first of all, and guaranteed the best to

Can someone tell why only on this rom, when I have "OK Google" activated to "any screen and lock screen" it is an absolute wake lock killer?

On every ROM from firekat to cm 12 I don't have this issue.

Like I said... On every other rom I do not have that kind of wakelock when running it. Used firekat & then just switched back from cm12 and did not have any where near that much activity

Every rom will treat it differently. I use it so frequently and am around a charger in the car (where I use it the most) it's simply not an issue. It's nowhere near this though....and always on. doesn't affect my batter noticeably whatsoever. Mine is "11m 18Secs and only X573" doesn't affect my N4 at all...Play with you settings inside Google search and see what makes the biggest inpact for a day or so.

So I've been using the odexed version of this rom for about a week and a half and I love the customization and themes and how fast" android is upgrading" completes after dalvick and cache wipes. My only issue I'm trying to resolve in this thread and in the kernel thread is on this rom I keep getting random lags using AEL kernel, version 5.2 of AEL worked great and every version since then has had lags, nothing I can't live with but users of that kernel on other roms are reporting no lags. One thing I've noticed is when I wipe cache and dalvick after flashing a new version of the kernel, the first boot upgrades most apps, but when I reboot it always updates more apps, maybe that has something to do with it I'm not sure... Any suggestions are appreciated :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
Hey fellas. I got my new note 4 yesterday, rooted, recovery and restored my latest nandroid from this morning onto the new device..

Everything went well except 1 thing.

I have a terrible lag on almost any action on the device.

Swiping home screens, toggling menu keys, and typing is the absolute worst. It will hang for 2-3 seconds then type the last 3 words rapidly.

I wiped data, caches and system when restoring the nandroid so I know it was relatively clean.

Do you think this is a device issue or something else?

No such issues on my original note 4.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] t83wood:
After the factory reset and rom install try wiping dalvick and cache and fixing perms from recovery, then use clockworkmod rom manager from play store to fix permissions after you boot, then reboot when it tells you and see if that helps.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
I did just that.. Went back into recovery and wiped both caches and fixed permissions as well then booted up. Its been a few hours now so I know its not still settling. Its almost unusable like this.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] t83wood:
Update, just changing governor to umbrella core produced insane lag first in chrome then homescreen. Had to pull the battery. Noticed that 3c toolbox app kept turning on read optimizations and changing synapse settings to cfq with read aheads at 128 bytes, so reset that from within its own app settings, rebooted, force stopped it, wiped it's cache and data, uninstalled it, set synapse with umbrella core, row for internal with 2048 read ahead, row for external with 1024 read ahead, left everything else untouched, rebooted, so far much better. Minor lags about 20 seconds after boots when opening option to add widgets to home screen and opening applications waiting for the apps sizes to show but smooths out pretty good after that... In app lags seem much better too so far including tinfoil, Facebook, and chrome.

---------- Post added at 11:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------

Dirty flash the rom on top of itself then without wiping anything and see if that helps, I have to do that sometimes....

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 AM ----------

Oh and did you try fixing perms using rom manager from the play store also? Another thing to check is make sure super su is updated, both the app and the binaries when you open the app.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] faslane:
Does it lag on Stock OS? If not, it's something you're running. Clean flash the rom and start fresh on everything, TiBUP (if you use) could have brought over corrupted data or something, it's a horrible app. I've never used it nor had luck when I've tried it. Then you'll really know wassup by simply taking an hour and flashing/installing it all clean.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
Lmao it's not a horrible app. It's probably one of a Crack flashers most reliable.

It's been horrible for me an many others, I always see people having issue restoring, crashing in the middle of things etc. I won't ever use it. It's just as fast to do a nandroid and restore form it than money with TiBUP in my opinion. takes about 15mins to restore a 6GB (or so) nandroid. I do it all the time. I LOVE hating TiBUp.So I'm biased...I simply don't trust it, helium is far better if I DO ever use a backup app LOL
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
I got it from tmobile.

I was actually so upset with the condition of phone that I called them.

The protective wrap was hanging off and the phone was disgustingly dirty. Smudges and dust caught in the speaker grills and USB port.

I can't believe that was a certified replacement.

Not sure if that contributed to the issues, but for Christ sake have some quality control.

YEP!! re-downoad, flash the rom let it settle a bit/setup accounts and whatnot, then go back and flash to theme if you use one and you should be golden. You CAN flash the rom and then immediately after, flash the theme but I don't like doing them back to back, best to let settle with main rom first I think.... Let us know bro!!

I always download to device but to External but it shouldn't matter if you have a fast MicroSD but yeah, flash from internal since you've had some issues....it'll go a bit quicker most likely.

Thanks for all the help guys. Glad to be a part of this rom community
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sniickers:
I have said it before I believe, but I will say it again. I absolutely appreciate this ROM you have made Brian. It is the first and only ROM I installed on my Note 4 when it came out. I have upgraded to every version and never had a problem with this ROM. I even finally went ahead and installed the gpe black hole theme this time even though I generally try to avoid theming due to fear of compatibility issues. But it is working perfectly. I do however have a question Brian about Bluetooth. It seems that on some devices there is a bit of an issue with I guess buffering with Bluetooth that creates choppiness mainly around game audio. I have experienced this personally on several devices, even my Note 3 and now Note 4. I read in forum chatter that some developers fix it with some kind of fix in their ROM and I am curious if you know about this and/or able to apply it your rom? I haven't been able to find any solid answers myself either.

Now my other question is to the general audience here. Is there any real advantage of using a custom kernel on the Note 4? I have used many kernels myself on numerous devices, but I see no real benefit in using a kernel on the Note 4. I am using the stock kernel on my Note 4 and my device has been rock solid. No reboots. I average just over 22 hours battery life per charge with about 5 hours screen on time. I always keep GPS and Bluetooth on and only turn off WiFi about 8.5 hours a day when I am at work. I stay connected to my Gear S and Gear Circle headset almost all day. I haven't tried the Gear VR yet. But I have no conflicts or software issues. I have only froze a few unneeded apps and used greenify with some tweaking and using over 10+ xposed modules. I know benchmarking apps don't give a complete analysis of the overall capability of a phone, but I have achieved Nexus 6 numbers in antutu. Is there any real advantage of a custom kernel?

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] force70:
To me the biggest advantage to a custom kernel is simply the ability to tweak the heck out of it for what your useage is.

If your just going to run a custom kernel as is no huge benefit from stock imo.

Now that said for us Canadians we HAVE to use custom kernels to even boot any of the roms..well except one that uses the stock canadian kernel and base lol.

Thats the simple answer more or less

Hey guys.. Had a question or 3 about TWRP.

I'm currently using Twrp 2.8.1.1

My backup size was 4.3gb (2.5gb compressed)

The backup took 1578 seconds (26 min)

Is it me or is that backup time crazy?

At most my previous ones were roughly 5-8 min tops

I did have everything checked off in the backup screen.

Which version twrp are you guys using?

What size and how much time are your nandroid backup taking?

Any version or process for this not to take as long?

Thanks a million
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] force70:
Yeah thats long...once in a while i will get that also though, no idea why.

2.8.1.1 is the tried and true version I think. Your backup is about the right size also both compressed and uncompressed.

Delete that one and backup again...see if you can replicate the issue

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] marioguillen29:
It takes to long because the compression, takes about 6 to 10 minutes to backup depends on how many apps an data you have on your phone, and then takes double of the time or more to compress the file because the file is to big and if you do the backup to your internal storage is faster
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] force70:
I always compress and once in a blue moon it will take 20 min. I backed up twice just today and each one would not have been longer than 10 min tops.

Both on my ext sd card also

sent from Canada via my Note 4, 3 or 2
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ispot:
The time is correct and not an issue, and it depends on the ampunt of data you are backingup. As mentioned by marioguillen29, compression is what takes longer then the backup itself, another factor is the speed of your sd card, assuming you are backing up on it.

I have been using Dynamic Kat since day one of getting my Note 4 back in October of 2014. I just would like to say Thank You for a great ROM, I am enjoying every minute of using my Note 4, I love the GP theme, and wanted to ask if there is anyway to modify the contacts favorites to mimic that of the Nexus 5. Thanks again for the most fast and stable ROM for my beloved Note 4.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
For the record this was the first time I used compression on the backup, so maybe that's just it.

It was saved to the extsd as well.

Hi guys, i'm new to installing Rom's on my phone and i don't understand how to do it. If someone could please give me specific instructions on what to do (if it's not too much trouble) I'd really appreciate it. I've already rooted my Note 4 but i'm trying to get rid of touch wiz. I've heard installing a ROM is the best way to go about that. Thanks and much appreciated!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] faslane:
I Literally just did a FULL backup, everything checked in the backup using twrp to my external backup folder and it too kno loner with compression on and skippingmd5 checked and it too about 13Minutes. If I don't compress its a couple mins faster. And the backup amount of data in about 6.5GB. its should never take anywhere near what yours took. I have a class X HDHC or whatever micro SD card but any decent higher class rating card should differ much at all. If you buy cheapie and possibly fake cards online who knows how long they REALLY read and write to.....some things definitely wrong on your end.

---------- Post added at 12:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 AM ----------

Rue compression makes a Very little impact. Mine differs of only a couple minutes and I'm always do a a complete and boot able nandroid backup of 6-10GB and its never taken longer than 20-25mins and usually about 15 tops. Been doing it like this for years so there's something else going on besides compression or not.

another question; it appears you will have some nice themes for this rom; should we wait to flash the rom and the theme at the same time, or will this version support any themes that come down the pike?

I miss having a variety of colors for battery/network/ anything else in the status bar, and xposed has been sort of a PITA on this phone at this point, so I would rather get that stuff from themes/mods made for this rom..

thanks for allowing questions in here!:D

Yup, filesize is right. I've spent alot of time perfecting what is or is not needed in the rom. That being said, If it can be gotten from the play store, I have not included in rom. Core apps are available on website to download and flash. And, if you find there is something you still need, I'd be happy to accommodate.

Fixing the Samsung apps are easy - you need to use the App Settingsapp in Xposed. You can then find each of the stock apps (Camera, Contacts, Clock, etc) and manually set just those back to 640.
