The only factual data you provide is based on your own experience, your own usage, your own device, your own signal strength, your own setup....etc...no one uses their phone exactly as you so where as you may use your phone a certain way and think this out of how many ROMs is the best battery life for you..it may not be so for someone with weaker signal, more syncing, a game player, someone who dirty flashes versus a clean flash, someone who overclocks their kernel, someone who chooses a different governor/IO scheduler...there are millions of iterations that you have determined work best for you....so no, there can be no facts regarding battery life...look through the development threads...every ROM has someone claiming horrible battery life somewhere in the thread...Also note many claiming THAT particular ROM has been the best for battery life than any other...Unless you set baselines...clean flash, set governor/scheduler, same signal strength, same apps set to sync at same intervals, same brightness, etc...there is no way for anyone to ever say for a fact that one ROM is the best for everyone.

Hopefully the OP will have as good experience with your suggestion as you have. Just my opinion that asking what's the best ROM is like asking what's the best car...it depends on what you will use it for, where you will use it, your driving habits....blah blah blah....you get my point...thanks for offering your insight and helping out the OP.

dude it's been a while since i've been on samsung since the galaxy s3, the developer is saying for best results odin flash the stock then flash firekat, would that erase everything in my internal memory?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Temetka:
Do those ROM'S include the S-Apps? The pen and it's integration is why I got a Note 4 in the first place.

Does a stock ROM exist that is basically everything from Samsung but no carrier bloat?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iunlock:
Yes. FireKatv3. The Dev actually likes TW and understands the simple fact that TW has come a long way, whereas a lot of others still seem to bash on TW, not recognizing it's improvements for whatever personal reason. If you want something closest to stock it's going to be FireKatv3, hands down.

---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

You're absolutely right....but might I add that I did mention having 3 Note 4's in the household. Let alone my brother and friend who is around a lot. That makes 5 note 4's. Therefore, I would assume that, that fact alone would add a lot more credibility to my 2 cents, than my 2 cents stemming from just my use and habits alone.

User habits vary yes..I agree. I'm a Power user, the other user is medium and 3rd is very conservative. My brother works in a very bad signal area (middle of nowhere) and friend is a gaming maniac. It's almost a perfect scenario I know. But pretty darn neat in respect to this situation.

I'm sure the OP has enough to make a sound decision to make him happy. At the end of the day that's all that matters.

As a fun thought, I'd bet he will end up with either one of the 2 ROM'S that I have in mind.

I forgot to mention something. Like I was saying about the dev actually liking TW and understanding all the great things that make a Note a Note, his ROM will give you a peace of mind, knowing that those functions you enjoy are not broken.

Hope this helps.

Everyone is different. For me I like my ROM to be close to stock as possible. I also look for ROM where OP get quick reply.

It seems to me all ROM have good battery life. Even by itself, the N4 battery life is just wonderful.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eduardmc:
Dont care what anybody said and don't believe it until u show actual proof. THIS PHONE WILL LAG. Right now on FKV3 and is much MUCH better experience than stock rom. But doesnt matter what rom developer do to this actual rom, it will still lag on this phone until samsung or lollipop do something.

I know there's people that will go against me and say that there's no lag. Simply show video proof doing a few multitasking videos, will start seeing long loading delay. Scrolling on facebook, gallery, magazine, appstore etc full of stutter and lag. U will say that is an app problem, have my m8 next to me doing super smooth 60fps scrolling without stutter or lag.

Thinking on returning my 4 noted (yes 4 notes 4) for nexus 6. all rooted same rom, get 49k in atuntu and 4 unit lag/stutter.

ROFL....what a laugh. The Nexus 6 part. (IMHO) Why would you want to downgrade? That'd be a huge mistake.

Have you tweaked your phone according to what the dev has suggested?

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------

Correct. This is what a lot of people fail to realize. For how powerful this phone is, let alone the incredible display it has to light up, the battery life even stock is good.

Now with a ROM like FireKatv3, you'll experience a Ferrari with a MPG of a Prius.

Dead serious. My battery life has doubled it seems.

GREAT that you had a good laugh. i have been in this comunity since the era of HTC touch diamond and hero which is since 2008 and after, rooting and installing custom roms/kernel. i have had more than 15 android phones including, galaxy s, s3, s4, s5, note 2, note 3, note 4. i can honestly say that this phone NOTE 4 is slow compare to my last phone HTC M8. or even my nexus 5. YOU WILL GET A SMOOTHER EXPERIENCE from this both phone than you'll get from the NOTE 4 (any rom period) to the naked eyes the NOTE 4 is great and smooth. For a person who have use and so many different device the NOTE 4 is smooth zero lag like some are saying.

I don't consider any phone a downgrade. has long the experience is better. My M8 which has a sense skin on top of android flys all over the note 4. Will be happy to go back to my m8 which is an upgrade in everyway except for the camera/battery/screen.

spec doesnt mean a thing is the phone is bug down by such crappy custom UI. Reason why nexus 6 is an upgrade in my eye.

this review from nexus 4 vs m8 4:50 minutes knows what im talking about. WHICH HE EVEN STATE "M8 still the fastest most responsive phone around"

Thanks for sharing. I too have owned every worthy smart phone under the sun and have been doing this ROM thing for a while, so nothings new territory here. I've owned personally every phone you've mentioned except the S5 because I jumped from the N2 to N3, but we have a S5 in the household. So in that sense, yes...had it all...

I do agree with you in that for a normal user, fast means something different than fast to a power user. However, if we're talking real world use "fast," the Note 4 is definitely fast.

As for the M7 or M8...those phones are below the Note 4. The UI is nowhere as sophisticated in function as with TW and it's unique set of functions. They are two completely different animals so it's not practical to compare the two.

TW has come a long way and the truth of the matter is that it provides something unique that no other UI offers. I personally hate HTC's Sense, but that's just me.

A Note is a Note because it's unique. It has a lot more to pull than a flashy Sense UI that is just a glorified CM like UI. It's plain...and comes no where close to the sophistication of the Note 4.

Again, two different animals.

So for anyone who gets a Note 4 to ignore its core abilities and function, missed the memo. Or for anyone wanting to erase the Note's identity on the N4 will go and flash CM, which makes no sense to me. (Other than they'd have the best piece of hardware to go plain Jane. I guess...) In this case, an iphone *face palm* would suit them well...or the Nexus 6.

So if you were to weigh all the features, hardware, usability, abilities (removable battery, external SD..etc...) the Note 4 is in its own league far above any HTC will ever dream. - And it does it in pure luxury. Going fast in luxury is a lot more fun than going fast in a mid sized class car.

The Note 4 is the king for a reason. Also, keep in mind that it's a phablet. Not just a phone. [emoji106]

Aside to the difference in battery size, it also has to do with efficiency. I take it that you're on a custom ROM yes? Also the Note 4 does have fast charge ...

These are radios not firmware. The radios were removed from the firmware package so they could be flashed separately, thus they can be flashed in TWRP or CWM just like custom roms and mods. There is no need to relock your bootloader to flash just the radio.

If you are flashing the entire firmware package then you will need to relock your bootloader. In bootloader/FASTBOOT USB use this command:

Hello everyone,

I have a Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 coming in my direction, ordered it on Monday.

I already have decided that I will install CyanogenMod but this time I would like to do it properly.

Since I am not savy in backing up all the original software and firmware and roms and recovery and etc...

Maybe you could share with me some guidelines on how I could backup any relevant part of the Firmware or Software on Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 in the event that I need to restore its "factory" state.

Is there a specific app that I could use that would allow me to backup everything and then I could use the backup file(s) to restore it using any tool like flashing via recovery or even Odin? My question here is if I will be app dependant or my backup could be installed seamlessly?

Am I missing any thing here not mentioned or I am in the right path?

Cheers and thanks in advanced!

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] pettigrew95:
Hey guys, I'm looking to purchase this phone for my girlfriend (she is still using the droid incredible 4g lte)! I just had a couple questions that I'd very much appreciate if I could get some insight on:

1. Is the claim for 48 hours of battery life valid?

2. Has a software update been released to allow data and voice simultaneously yet? (This is a make or break)

3. Overall, how do you guys like the phone from a performance perspective i.e. speed of opening apps etc.?

4. Anything I should know such as little annoyances or nuances currently?

Thanks guys I really appreciate it!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] PerCompLLC:
I'll answer the first three (from my perspective, of course). The fourth is going to be up to you in looking at the other threads - lots of positives and negatives depending on your perspective.

1) The 48 hours of battery life is definitely NOT VALID. Of course this is completely dependent on your usage. That said, I am a very heavy user and I am getting considerably more than a full day. I usually pull the device off the charger at about 3:00am (don't judge me - I get up that early to hit the gym). When I plug it back in at about 9:00pm I am at about 25% remaining. That is 75% in 18 hours, which I am VERY happy with.

2) The Volte software update has not yet been released. Also, keep in mind that when it is released by Moto/Verizon, it will only work in Volte areas (but you probably already knew that).

3) The performance of this phone (again from my perspective) is absolutely incredible. Now if one of the really smart devs (I'm talking to you [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION]) actually figures out how to root this device, then this will be THE device of the year! Again, from my perspective.

Hope this helps!
