[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] falsepr0phet:
Just wanted to say that I'm new to this phone, I'm coming from a bootlocked Verizon Galaxy S4 that had Echoe ROM on it. I've tried a few different things and what not with this device (I would consider myself fairly tech savvy, but was a diehard Nokia/Symbian user until they made the switch the Windows Phone, I moved to Android with the S4 and never looked back, so I'm medium-knowledgeable about this stuff) and the new T-Mobile Service, and have got to say I'm impressed! This ROM in particular runs very smoothly on my device. I'm happy to "be apart of the family" so to speak. What sold me on the TMO was the Wi-Fi calling (which works great BTW), they have had notoriously terrible service where I live, but after switching, that is NOT the case, plus the bonus of Wi-Fi calling is awesome!

Keep up the good work!

are you guys using stock camera or a 3rd party modded camera? trying to decide..

---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

also stock kernel or... ?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] scloutkst:
Stock camera takes awesome pictures for me.

And I think almost every one is using the stock kernel. It has been shown to have great performance and spectacular battery life for almost all here.

I myself have always had custom kernels installed, and I haven't been bothered myself, because stock is so great.

I formatted the sd card in the phone and it still didn't help.

I flashed to the new 2.3 update and I have an issue with instagram now where it just stops responding after a second or so and crashes back onto my homescreen.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] steve97ta:
that is probably within the app, I was having problems yesterday with it. Try uninstalling then re install
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
thank u as always kind sir !!

thank u very much man!! welcome to the family!!.. :good:

thanks man .. i will look at it :good:

thanks u very much man!!. can u believe 48 samsung updates? now 49 .. i never thought that when i made goldeneye 1.0 there would have been so many versions!! had fun tho i must admit :good:

u might want to try another sdcard , no issues here .. if u have performed a clean install guide in the q&a section and still have issues, i would odin to latest fw im using and start over with new sdcard

as for instagram .. no issues here click here hope u get it sorted :good:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] i0423x:
I might need to actually replace the phone, there are issues with the camera saying "Server error occurred. Restart Camera." and I assume this is why instagram kept closing. I'll just see if this phone can be replaced. Thanks for the help though :good:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] steve97ta:
Try to odin back to NK4 stock. Wipe everything in the factory recovery then root it again.

Backup your stuff to a computer of course. You're on NK4 right now right?

Quick question, has anyone gotten the driver for viper to install (not fail) without installing a kernel. I keep getting an IO failure unless I install a kernel. Same happened on the note 2
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] falsepr0phet:
I may be having the same problem. I was trying to load Viper in last night, it seemed to install fine, but it wasn't acting like it was working. I'm not getting any errors though. Is the IO failure something I have to manually check?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cukhiem:
The Camera Setting keep returning to default

Hi all

I changed the setting of the camera and recording mode. However when I close it and open camera again, all the setting change back to default. Does any1 else have this problem?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] steve97ta:
Did you flash Viper from the OP? I normally flash it, open viper, let it install then it'll tell you to reboot.

I then go into the build.prop

edit the tunnel.decode to false

Lpa.decode to false

Lpa.use-stagefright to false

Make sure you save the changes and reboot. Enable V4android in music effects = profit
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] steve97ta:
I've noticed that as well across all roms I've tried. I use the spot or matrix metering modes and it changes back after I close it. The other settings stick like hdr and stuff though
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] masri1987:
even after you install the drivers properly you have to use Lucky patcher to get it to 'process' properly. I just froze it and said screw it for the moment
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] falsepr0phet:
I did, but I had never done anything with the build.prop before. I've edited it as you described (Lpa.decode was already set to false, the other two were on true), and set Viper in the music effects settings, but I'm not noticing any difference, it doesn't seem like it's working. Is there a way I can tell?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] NXLTrauma25:
I've never had to do any of that, but none the less I tried it. IO still fails unless I use a different kernel. Once the driver installs with the new kernel all is well and the sound modules clearly work.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] steve97ta:
Hmm mine is working
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] NXLTrauma25:
I'm wondering if this is stemming from the kitkat sd card changes. I have folder mount running which fixed this issue sometimes on the note 2, although eventually with later roms I had to install kernels to get it to work.

Does anyone know the name of the application that is linked to the music effects option in settings? I know many have suggested changing the music effects to viper and then freezing the actual apk that runs music effects but I can't seem to remember what it is.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] steve97ta:
Freeze Sound Alive?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cukhiem:
I just tried out other rom as well and same problem. Hopefully, this can be fixed in the future.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] NXLTrauma25:
You are correct. That disables music effects. I will load up the rom tonight and try. Will report back.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Amd4life:
viper works fine for me with Rapture 2.3, you will need to edit the build properties in the system folder like a few posts back stated.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
you know what .. maybe i should add the edited buil.prop to the addon, might things easier for viper users :good:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] AlkaliV2:
For Those Having Trouble Installing Viper4Android Sound Driver

If you've installed Viper from the Add-on posted in the OP, then it is now located in the system folder and (should) have the proper permissions. If you did not and you manually installed Viper you need to ensure that the correct permissions are set.

**The necessary build.prop lines are already commented out so you don't need to change the build.prop**

1.) Reboot into TWRP and Fix permissions - This is going to ensure that all files in the system folder have the same permissions

2.) Clear the app data for SuperSU and Viper - This will allow you to re-establish root for the install of the audio driver if you are being prompted every time you open Viper to install the driver (power-saving, high, super high quality)

3.) Ensure that you go to Settings > Sound > Music Effects (very bottom) and choose Viper4Android then reboot the phone

4.) Now open Viper and enable all the places you need it activated like headset, speaker, bluetooth, etc.

5.) To ensure that it is actually working grab some headphones, start up a song that you like, open Viper settings, enable for headset, then choose Viper Clarity and you should hear the sound change. If you don't you didn't select it as the default sound driver. Go back and ensure it is chosen.

Like I mentioned above you shouldn't need to edit the build.prop on this ROM as the pertinent items have already been commented out (which is better than setting them to false). Give this a shot and let us know if it fixes it for you.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
ah, thanks man.. this is what i will do i will add a link to your post in the q&a section.. great job :good:

small update 1-11-15

- all changelogs in one place, i have a bad habit of not keeping changelogs in order
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jpeps:
I do see the update on download page??
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] falsepr0phet:
I managed to get Viper4Android working, and I think it was changing the build.prop, but when I reported earlier that it still wasn't working, that's because it works unlike on my other two android devices. I would simply turn on xtra loud, and then hit a few buttons to see if the system sounds were louder (which has always worked on previous devices). It seems on the Note 4, the effects ONLY work when actually playing music, and aren't applied to the system sounds (I think this has to do with selecting ViperAudio in the Music Effects settings, which I've never had to do before). I tried playing with a few settings with music playing and immediately noticed that it was working.

Special thanks to iB4STiD for creating this ROM and being the most responsive and attentive Dev I've ever seen, and NXLTrauma25, steve97ta, Amd4life, AlkaliV2 for helping with this issue.

P.S. I'm on the Stock Kernel, I think. It reads:

Who change to volte in a call using 4G not volte I change it on your new rom
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] steve97ta:
I'm not sure what you're saying but you can access the volte settings in the dialer, then go into settings
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JayDean03:
I just can't see how in the hell you got that type of battery life. What are your settings and how long did it take to get that good.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mike28:
Basically I'm not a gamer or use my phone to stream or watch movies, this is all under wifi and screen brightness at 50%, lots of texting, Web browsing and xda app I dont use any battery saving options or apps my stuff is sync and I use Google Now, stock kernel as well hope it helps lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JayDean03:
Damn. Im just a browser and i stream YouTube (background only), text and that's it. I'm getting terrible battery life. ?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jpeps:
No volte settings ?? This new rom ??
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] scloutkst:
I regularly get 7 to 7.5 hours screen on time. Wifi is never on (unlimited lte) as well as Bluetooth on 24/7. Stock kernel. This is being a data heeavy user as well. Lots of Web browsing and redditing.

Edit: NOT using any battery saving apps like greenify or anything.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] scloutkst:
Just want to say that the built in tethering is working amazing! Can't complain about speed either. Getting 25 mbps in South Chicago burbs... Not bad considering wideband lte not available here yet. More than fast enough to stream super HD content on Netflix. ?

Edit: to make it more clear, the point of this post was to show the total data usage, and note that I'm not experiencing throttling or any sort of note on my account that I have used any tethering data.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mike28:
Interesting with lte /4g connection I average about 5 hours

---------- Post added at 02:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 AM ----------

Do you have a lot of apps installed what are your apps like
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TheUnknown96:
print option

Hey I'm loving the rom , but does anyone know how to get the print option in Gallery?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] scloutkst:
What kind of signal strength do you have? My battery life goes to **** when I head south and my signal strength is weak. My great battery life is when I have full bars which is anywhere near Chicago. Have full bars almost all the time. Perhaps try reflashing the baseband and see if that helps?

Edit: I have a decent amount of apps. Battle.net authenticator, chase bank, discover app, crunchy roll, Dropbox, friend caster (facebook), mx player, okcupid, plenty of fish (so I'm a bit lonely lol), Pandora, reddit is fun, rhapsody, shazam, snapchat, SwiftKey, timely, vlc player, u torrent, xda, Wanam. Plus apps that came with ROM.

Edit 2: I should note that pof and especially the okcupid app check my location quite frequently, and doesn't seem to impact battery life much at all. My location settings are set to power saving which is GPS only no wifi or cellular triangulation.

Edit 3: I would check for a rogue app eating CPU. I had the browser destroy my battery once as it hung trying to load a page when I had poor service. It just kept trying and trying in the background. Didn't notice for about 2 hours and 40 percent of my battery was gone.

I use Facebook and instagram a lot along with Google plus so I can't really complaint I guess lol.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] scloutkst:
Stock kernel? Perhaps go through and clear the cache and dalvik. And see if you can try a different modem for better reception? Do we even have more than one modem at this point? Not sure.... Only thing I can think is reception is your main issue for battery. That and some. Chips are just more power hungry than others.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mike28:
Yes stock kernel haven't changed the modem I usually don't in the morning I usually listen to music with Bluetooth using sound cloud I know theres a Samsung service app that always runs in the background
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] scloutkst:
Clean install? Flash any roms before this, or come from stock? I know I flashed another rom And it had my Whole phone messed up even after a fresh install of rapture. My signal strength was jacked, Bluetooth wouldn't work, and battery life was ****. Ended up using Odin to go back to stock,and start over. All is well again now.

Just some thoughts on my end is all. I'm thinking that the recoveries and flashing haven't been perfected for this phone yet...

anyone using a kernel that's not stock and getting stock like results?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] steve97ta:
I was using Bioshock with Bioshock governor/row it was working really well when it settled in. Since the new build I've stuck with stock.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] masri1987:
yeah i'm trying stock out for the first time and i've been messing with AEL\Bioshock since i bought the phone in early dec.

Stock is great , SOT time is insane (i'm now finally seeing how 6 hours of SOT is possible if not more)

i just don't understand why aftermarket kernels are not "better" than stock (in performance it is , just no where else)

Am i the only one feeling this way?

has anyone tried starkissed?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] steve97ta:
Everyone uses the phone differently. I know I can pull off about 6-7 hours consistently on stock. Bioshock has been great as well though. I just flashed it so I'll report back tomorrow or the next day. I don't use greenify or any battery saver. So far bioshock feels quicker but I'll let it settle in
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] masri1987:
yeah performance is unmatched, just keep an eye out for SOT and report back if you can sir.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
i haven't had a chance to check out bioshock , will do it today :good:

running bioshock on arcadia, running great!! [MENTION=1823993]Jamison904[/MENTION] did a great job! not surprised :good:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] scloutkst:
Feels quicker? I'm pretty damn happy with the stock kernel on Rapture. It's blazing fast as it is. I can't even imagine the need for things to feel any quicker. Especially if I have to give up SOT. I tried flashing bioshock but it ****ed up my phone bad. Maybe I got a bad download, should have matched the checksum. Jamison is an awesome dev though.
