[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
The Annandtech tests back when the LG G3 was launched showed that 800& FHD gave the same performance as 805& QHD. You notice a big difference on the LG G3 which has an 801 with QHD. That phone suffers from terrible frame rates and lag. The Note 4 I find is fine.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Samsura:
Offcourse the resolution will kill performance. It's alot of pixels to drive, and it makes the screen sweet to look at!

There is software that can force a lower resolution to games and stuff if you suffer from low framerate.

The 805 has alot of power though. Just benchmarked my tablet with the Tegra 3 processor (with overclock) and i get around 2800 points in 3Dmark unlimited.

About 20050 on my note 4 Snapdragon stock.

Quite the performance boost in just a few years.

On CM12 my SD note 4 absolutely flies, unfortunately TW is far slower than it should be on such great hardware; hopefully the Lollipop update will be more optimised
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ddaharu:
I think this problem is for the note 4 exynos users because the frame rate is poor. I'm coming from note 2 and my brother had a note 3 snap Dragon and the note 4 is a downgrade where framerate is concerned. I compared it with the note 2 and note 3 and it is obviously different. and saying that the reason for its lack of fluidity is because of its quad hd display isn't good enough. why make a screen with such high ppi and not have good gpu rendering? anyway I don't believe note 4 users with the snapdragon processor are having this rendering problem because the snapdragon is actually a better processor. and lastly I hope that the lollipop update should, in some way, improve the graphic performance of the exynos 5433. I look forward to all future development!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RISHI RAJ:
We Have it too
[Galaxy Note 4 General] midreestaj:
Exynos Note 4 has a higher frame rate than Snapdragon variant in every title - use Gamebench to measure practical real life FPS performance not the benchmarks
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Lodix:
You seems to be very well informed [emoji14]

Actually Exynos 5433 beats the SD805 in games and performance. And both of them outperform the Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ddaharu:
Thats great to hear seeing that i have the exynos verision lol but back to the main topic, the frame rate is actually lower than the note 3. this isnt gaming performance but rather regular usage. Like using third party lockscreens, coming in and out of app drawers, and just regular transitions, yuh know? stuff like that. i held it side by side to the note 3 and i was dissappointed. and people say that the exynos is better but i saw this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83Hkb3FAncc and it clearly shows that the graphics on the snapdragon is better. :/ i'm not trying to be a hater or anything like that. i was just dissappointed in the framerate. spread love and joy!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Lodix:
The Snapdragon has a bit better GPU power, but the Exynos runs better games due to its more simple architecture. And both have higher frame rate then Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ddaharu:
thanks! I looked at a couple videos a few minutes ago and the exynos won over the snapdragon so I do have the better device! lol and well I hope the lollipop update activates the total 64 bit processor.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Jonathan-H:
The Note 3 is quicker than the Note 4, but it's probably software and the screen.

The difference between SD and Exynos is negligible really. I don't trust Exynos since S2 days when games took time to become optimised or never came out for it at all.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rkeene:
I am currently running geass 2.7.0.0 twrp recovery, geass7 kernel, and running f2fs KitKat build #36 (tf301). Everything, including all dock keys work perfectly. Has anyone had any luck using android encryption? The last time I tried (on a twrp 2.8.1 and grimlock 3 beta) encryption would not recognize my pin. After a lot of formating and clean boot and recovery installs I was able to clear it losing all my data in the process. I would love to encrypt if it is compatible with a tf201 running a modified tf301 boot. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Since upgrading to AKU 3.3, the messaging application starts automatically at random times. Sometimes It comes up at the MMS screen, other times at the text messaging screen.

Has anyone else experienced this? Are there any known fixes for this?

[Note Edge General] ducster_usa:
I have the Note 4 and have the Note Edge on order from T-Mobile. Anyone else with both phones ?

Some months ago I originally wanted the Note Edge over the Note 4, but then when I found out that the Samsung Gear VR would only work on the Note 4, I was crazy enough to buy both phones.

I plan to use the Note Edge as my everyday phone and the Note 4 for just the Samsung Gear VR.
[Note Edge General] reo420510:
note 4 and note edge here

i have both i use my note 4 cuz they got roms for it and its more fun right now lol
[Note Edge General] 67srbell:
I'm doing the same thing (have my Note 4 at home and not selling it due to the VR and using my Edge).

This is an expensive habit...
[Note Edge General] TirithXiato:
Are we sure it really won't work with the edge? Every app I have thinks I have the note 4 already....
[Note Edge General] misterwal10:
I did read that with an add-on (sold separately) the edge will work. I will try to find the article when I get home after work, but it was someone speaking to a Samsung rep...so it seemed legit
[Note Edge General] bignibb:
Find that article please.......
[Note Edge General] Deezy88:
i work for samsung and and use everyday the note 4 is the ONLY one that work with the VR
[Note Edge General] TirithXiato:
I'm sure xda will find some workaround ;)
[Note Edge General] ducster_usa:
Thank you for confirming that.
[Note Edge General] bignibb:
Why, what's not in the edge that is in the 4?
[Note Edge General] tbran:
It's not a hardware difference since that is identical, the Edge just won't fit due to it's form factor.

Sent via the Samsung Galaxy Note® Edge, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone
[Note Edge General] bignibb:
Well I still have a Note 4, i just gave it to my wife. I may get the VR but it wasn't a must have for me.
[Note Edge General] pieces of cake:
I've heard directly from Samsung reps that the Note Edge WILL work with the Gear VR with an add-on.

And, yes, I have both devices. However, I plan to return the Note 4, even though it has a much more premium FEEL to it.
[Note Edge General] twospirits:
I have both also, but I have the Sprint versions. I did a tiny compare of the settings of both over in s4gru.

[Note Edge General] Ker~Man:
Sounds like something a Samsung employee instructed-to-do-so would say to the masses. Smh...
[Note Edge General] invisiblesense:
I have both.

Black Edge and White Note 4. I love my edge!

Gave Note 4 to wife but still use for comparison and testing.
[Note Edge General] TEKHD:
Exactly the same... White Note 4, Black Note Edge with white wallet flip original cover (looks amazing)... I will not sell any, lol... I like both... Currently using the Note 4 more since there are many more mods available, (as [MENTION=5004419]reo420510[/MENTION] mentioned) but I really do like the Edge... Veeeeeery expensive habit as mentioned by [MENTION=5462808]67srbell[/MENTION], but no regrets. Also waiting for the VR... (and hoping it works with the Edge too, with or without adapter)
[Note Edge General] alhadee12:
Is the black better in color on the Edge?

Of course my friend!
[Note Edge General] invisiblesense:
Expensive habit here too ? I did initially feel guilty about spending so much money on phones in short space of time though.

In terms of colour, I haven't seen the white edge in person but the black edge look stunning. Well, at least I think that way anyway.
[Note Edge General] alhadee12:
I just picked a black one up. Still playing with it and trying to learn the ins and outs. I see the Yahoo sports ticker is very limited to certain sports and you have to pick teams or will it show other scores at some point?

I had a bad experience and that stopped me from doing it.
[Note Edge General] TEKHD:
You really have nothing to worry... just make sure you have the stock odin firmware from Samsung and you can try everything you want... if for any reason you soft-bricked your phone, simply flash stock firmware and you are back in business... nothing to loose really... done it already with the Note 4 and now the Edge.
[Note Edge General] alhadee12:
I appreciate it, but I'm just going to stick with stock. This phone is way too expensive. Lol.
[Note Edge General] invisiblesense:
Congrats on your purchase. Yeah, the yahoo panels are very limited. If dont select a team it will display nothing.
[Note Edge General] alhadee12:
I found that very interesting. They didn't even add college.

Hopefully we won't have to wait long. Some great developer on this forum is in the process of develop some fantastic apps for the edge panel, including ones for sports.☺
[Android General] mschweini:
I just wanted to share how I fixed the GPS on my sub-100$ "Laude S500" MTK6582 based chinese android phone.

May I start by stating that I am astonished how well this phone is working, for the price? I bought it as a backup emergency phone, but as far as I can see up to now, it simply....works fine. A completley different best compared to the cheap chinese android phones I tried a year or two ago, which were simply not usable.

Anyhow, so everything worked, except the GPS. No matter what I did (and I did everything), even after 30 minutes, the GPS would only see maybe one satellite, and would of course never get a lock.

I've tried all the steps floating around the net - all the EPO fixes, Faster GPS, manually editing all the .conf files, and I even almost bricked my phone by messing up build.prop. That last one almost cost me the phone, but thanks to SP_Flash_Tool and MtkDroidTools I managed to install CWM Recovery, which in turn gave me a root shell, which allowed me to fix build.prop via ADB. If you need help with that, let me know, and I will describe the process (the other threads seem to be literal translations from russian, which leave something to be desired in clarity, IMNSHO).

Regarding the GPS:

It seems that there was simply a lose contact between the mainboard and the GPS antenna. I watched this video (which is for a S3): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VI4hs19riRM

So I simply unscrewed the plastic back-plate on the phone. In the upper right corner there are two contacts labeled "GPS/BT/Wifi". I held a piece of aluminum foil to the upper contact, and ran GPS Test for about 3 minutes, and got my first GPS lock ever, on that phone! Yey!

After that, I simply, very carefully, bent the little pin-contact that's on the mainboard up a little bit, so that it would make a better contact to the antenna's contact (which is on the plastic back plate). I also cleaned the contacts with a drop of rubbing alcohol and a Q-Tip.

After that, I simply assembled the phone again, and now I get a 3D GPS lock in less than a minute!

Hope that helps,

M.

Nice! I'll give it a run and report back as soon as I can. Thanks for your work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nivron:
Awesome! It seems to be working out good for me so far. No crashes or anything. Been using it for the last few hours pretty constantly. I'll get some screenshots up in a bit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
You mention using TWRP... I'm using ClockWorkMod... Is that bad?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] onitenki:
This is awesome. I wasn't expecting a build for this for another couple weeks. Keep up the good work!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nivron:
I haven't followed or used CWM or PhilZ recoveries in quite a while -- I can't confirm that CWM will or won't work. I posted what worked for me, and it's more of a "recommended" method since I know it worked. You can certainly try CWM. If it works, I'll throw CWM in the OP with TWRP! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Deslo33:
Amazing! Booted right up! Good work!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nivron:
If you or anyone else gets it installed, feel free to let me know what works and doesn't, so I can track it in the OP and see if there may be some fixes I can do and submit. Some of the bugs are going to be fixed by the CM folks, but they're busy working on getting the Nexus devices flawless, methinks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
I'll try it... Do I risk bricking if I use CWM instead of TWRP? Or just risk it not installing?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nivron:
Well, I've never seen an actual "brick" by using the wrong recovery -- with the exception of the bad NAND in the old S2. If CWM doesn't work properly, you may have an incomplete/empty /system partition or other potential filesystem problems, which will not let your phone boot. If that's the case, you should be able to restore your nandroid with no issues. Flashing is always a risk unfortunately!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
I need my phone for work I can't risk bricking... Anyone else wanna try CWM? lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nivron:
Agreed -- if you need your phone for work, I wouldn't recommend flashing experimental builds like this one. I'd feel bad if you install it and miss out on something at work. Maybe someone will cue in with any CWM experiences.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] antibiotic1:
AWESOME

I can say that this unofficial build looks awesome, i cant wait for the official one. Everything looks so cute :D. Nice job OP

I just installed with Philz and everything seems to work okay. The only bugs I have seen so far is I had to toggle airplane mode to get LTE to kick in and I am unable to download an attachment from Gmail. I live on the edge Sprint service so I will see how roaming works this evening.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
Dumb question... What's Philz?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dyandell:
It's a souped up CWM Recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
So in theory CWM should work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dyandell:
I wouldn't think twice about doing it but that is your call. If you are worried, why don't you just switch to TWRP? It is really easy to do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
Yeah it probably is. Do I just flash TWRP with Odin? Got a TWRP download link?

Also, if I make a backup in CWM, can I restore it in TWRP?

Notes

Link to Slim gapps listed in OP

Ambient display option added (was in last build, but not mentioned before)

Potential fix for unknown iccid added

The known issues at this point seem to be the slow Bluetooth streaming and SMS showing a failed message even though the texts are successful. Some folks have mentioned GPS issues and external SD issues. If you are still flashing this ROM, would you please try the new version and let me know if you still experience these issues? Along with a logcat, please mention whether or not you are using the SPH-L720 or SPH-L720T. It seems that at least the GPS issues are focused on the L720T.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nivron:
I'm not sure on this one. I seem to remember something earlier in in the thread about 720T users needing to either upgrade or downgrade the baseband. Have you tried a clean flash? Maybe play with the settings in Settings-More-Mobile Networks. Change those around and back to LTE and see what happens.
