[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Product F(RED):
Yeah, I actually really disliked stock until about Lollipop (from a UI/features perspective). I always found it way too bare, even though people said it's great because it's a blank canvas. Maybe I don't want to have a million apps just to replicate common sense features that are already present in manufacturer skins (Touchwiz/Sense/etc). But I think Lollipop and Marshmallow are getting there. I still think Moto's take on stock is better than stock itself.

And hell yeah about superphones...No MicroSD card slot and no removable battery? Please....It's an attempt to further apply the practice of planned obsolescence...Aside from internal memory (which does eventually die and basically brick the phone), the battery is the first to crap out in a device. Yes, yes, UFS 2.0, etc etc. UFS 2.0 doesn't mean sh!t. I mean even LG's UI is a lot smoother than Touchwiz. The fact that Samsung had to add an extra GB of RAM, and change the internal storage format to UFS 2.0 and their devices STILL stutter and lag should say something. They need to fire their software developers and completely start from scratch.

Also in regards to AT&T and Verizon devices having locked bootloaders. I think it's because they have a lot of corporate customers. BUT that's the reason the "Allow OEM Unlock" toggle was added. Even if it was permanent and tripped Knox, that would be great.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
I have to agree.. Sammy keeps messing up.

I've been primarily a Samsung user for many of my daily phones over the years but this is certainly going to change.. But will keep Note4 for long time.

There are so many high end options now that are now giving better hardware options and the included software is not as overbearing as Sammy's..

And I'm a SnapDragon fan (for overall developer options). Exynos is great performance wise though.

I expect I will soon stray from Sammy for my Nexus' and other manufacturers - LG, HTC, Moto, Opo, etc..
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol sure I bet they do...I'm sure Microsoft also has their computers in corporate offices lol...yet they're secured in their given settings but not in my living room hahah...it's the most idiotic thing imaginable to hard brick basic root...esp after we pay like 800 dollars for it...give me an warranty nuclear option and I'm totally cool with that but brick me and we have problems lol

They've been doing this since the S3 though. Maybe not hard brick, but this.

Yup it began on s4...we've had loki and different patches...my n3 runs safestrap ect...but never this extreme not by miles...if its true? It was an official statement by the head of Knox department ...??

Nah don't even bother. You KNOW people will still ask. Make it pop up as a message when you first boot the ROM. Put some kind of shortcut in the middle of the homescreen to a text file with the instructions. Make the wallpaper black with red or white font that says:

- Set SuperSU to Grant

- Disable Force GPU Rendering in Dev Options

- Run Adaway in OP / Run Adaway once then uninstall it

You have to make it in their face. Or honestly you can use that installer interface for custom recovery, forgot what it's called. It gives you a visual interface where you can choose what you wanna install in the ROM (apps, tweaks, etc). Also lets you show a disclaimer/instructions.

Will the Can build of 9x go up today too or later in week?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gregma:
Isn't there a way to create a "show more" button in the OP? You can put those two things in BOLD just under the V9X download link, and only have the "Show More". They can't access the link unless they click "Show More", and that would be directly under the warnings...

With each of the builds come out, I actually wipe everything, including internal, except for external SD card. Then I ODIN. after that I reroot and then do the normal install steps.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] vikramdhani:
How can i do that ?

I am so sorry but i am so confused right now, I tried going through the original post and it mentioned to copy the host file to system/etc but when i am trying to copy the file on the phone it is giving me error that i do not have permissions then i installed the root explorer to do the same but it is telling me to grant access in super su but instead its telling me my phone is not rooted :(

At this point i have no clue what i am doing wrong or should do differently
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dynospectrum:
<br />

If you take the time to read OP2 you'll find all your answers. Open SuperSU, Settings, Default Access <~change to 'grant.' Open AdAway, click disable ad blocking. A fresh hosts file will be created. Facebook should now display your feed correctly.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
Wow.. You are really going over every little step in here.. And it's all laid out in the op/op2..

As for Facebook.. You can just go right to install Adaway (then open it and it will ask to enable and update host file) then reboot and Facebook will work.. I didn't even do the first host file overwrite..

And please make sure you go into SU settings and set it to "grant" to avoid so many future problems
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ojai00:
Does anyone who downloaded the file have an MD5 to compare with?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] force70:
Not pointing the finger at anyone here but is it is just me or are Development threads are turning into how to/spoon feeding threads lol these days.

I mean yes sure some things are complex enough to warrant it and i sure as heck am not as experienced as some of you guys but how to set superSU to grant and use root explorer?

If you dont know that much maybe not such a good idea to be flashing until you read a bit more. One could end up with a brick.

All i would say to those in this category is be very careful what you do..read first...and second...and then read again.

Then flash.

Cudos to those repeatedly answering basic questions which belong in Q&A. You have more Patience then I :thumbup:

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hawkstwelve:
I think this is a large part of the reason that many devs have moved over to G+, at least that was the case for the G3 forums. Almost went dead over there on XDA because too many people asking the same question over and over (if you think the N4 forums are bad, you should have seen the G3 forums) and it caused most of the activity to shuffle over to G+. More advance users realized the move and followed. All the 'spoon-feed-me' people stayed on XDA and kept on doing what they do. XDA just keeps on getting worse and worse in that aspect.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] force70:

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] vikramdhani:
I am so sorry for asking the questions on some that tiny which I was not able to do. Seems like I have rubbed some people the wrong way. I thought xda is a place to helping people who might not able to resolve something how small easy or complex it might be.

Lately it's not about spoon feeding but it's about some of you think that you are genius and everyone else is stupid hence you have to spoon feed them. Because there might be things that are really complex for you might be very easy for other and vice versa.

Now I can assure that I will not ask any questions here :)

Just wanted to pop in say that no ones saying to not ask questions, just to read at least the op1, op2...etc carefully and then if your question hasn't been answered in those posts then ask, not only will no one be able to go off about spoon feeding, but also keeps the threads clean so it's easier for everyone to find relevant info posted by everyone else.
