I wasnt planning on bothering with it figuring 5.1.x is around the corner...plus ive never had substantial gains in relative bases like that tbh even working on the 5.1.1 aosp nexus 6 builds lol so thats def Impressive for Samsung to pull off for us...cuz that would be some pretty significant gains from cod6 on the same base 5.0.2 so that'd be great dude...i can't wait to see all the feedback could be step in the right direction for us pr...gotta figure out the boot situation and if these pr builds will flash on top/odin to previous boot....not sure a trading similar or slightly better battery life on a new pr is worth giving up the substantial efficiency gains with minimal performance difference with the ability to downgrade back to 4.4.4 for people needing really efficient setups...much appreciated for the info seconding another mention of a good base

Just a little heads up fellas...i have been working on various bits and pieces for V8X update over the weekend...

The Google play services mods have been really efficient at cutting down the wake locks and triggers...I put together a new pr ad blocking host mod kit that I'll post to op2, but has been blocking even more ads...I did have 1 clicker ad come up but in context to stock lol I'll take the gains as I can get em lol...finished the mw list at just under 50 apps...and have been trying various rebuilds of the camera testing different mods or changes...I think, especially given the sheer amount of native kit, running fast and snappy, but more importantly, running so cool that we should be back up just over 5 hours sot average increasing over v7x...V8X is coming together awesome...hope everyone had a good weekend

Mega

A few more shots posted a few pages back if you wanna check out V8X camera

Play services mod has cut my wl significantly

Some sunny morning V8X test shots of a gorgeous Sunday morning here...one thing I noticed today that I wasn't looking for last night that's not a quality benefit directly necessarily but def helps the shots...is just how much faster the shutter speed seems now...you can kind of see it in the shots by how "still" they seem...no motion blur whatsoever which made taking them super easy and quick...Def a nice side effect

007 Bond-athon today on BBCam...testing a new build...greatest Sunday ever lol

Mega

Similar reference crop test in sunny light vs the previous dusk shot

Added...def happy with the new camera fellas the shutter speed removes almost all blur in motion...walking backward/sideways shooting bubba walking...can't believe these even turned out

And updated battery info...obviously this is my setup so its just for play services mod refrence...def seems to be helping as this is with gear s and all...just saving the services drain by cutting 2/3 of the wl triggers frees up a pretty significant chunk of wasted battery...def happy things are looking good imo

I have really enjoyed it I have to say...I was gonna go with the pro 3 but chose the 2 for the second fan, slightly thicker case, and smaller 16:9 1080p standard screen layout over pro 3...which given the same i5 as pro 3 the pro 2 actually runs slightly faster for longer sustained periods without thermal throttling...going pro 2 ended up saving me like 300 bucks which was cool...it is a laptop without the keyboard so I def think it could def replace a laptop entirely...it's really fast and windows 10 is great on it imo...I have to say I've been really impressed...for an 8gb ram 256 gb ssd and i5 for 750 its a hell of a beast for the money I def reco pro 2 or pro 3 if you like the larger size

Hey Mega I noticed when I was on Jovy's Darthstalker his tether method was working (at least for me) using the native tether app.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Just to clarify...native tethering works works on pr just without adding wtr or one of the mods there's no unlimited bypass...if your apn config works as an unlimited bypass with the data feedback not showing up on your used tethering amount... you should def post your apn settings as other tmo users I'm sure would appreciate it...having att makes it a little tricky to do much about it lol

Last question.

What you pay for it if you don't mind asking? I just saw one on Craigslist for 550 for the 512g.

Is that good? I'm gonna try to get it cheaper tho lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No I don't mind...I paid just at 700 for it...it was the 1100/1200 i5 equivalent...imo that's not a bad deal for the 128gb but your awfully close to a 256gb price imo so you can prolly find one cheaper for the 128 or just a tad more for the 256gb...imo at their "new" price no...they're not worth 1200 bucks for an i5...but for 680 or 700...like 740 shipped total...for an i5 with 8gb ram a touchscreen and wacom s pen running full Windows 10 in slate tablet I def think the price is great once it drops a generation...like 1700 for the i7 one is laughable imo...I built my tower for just about 1000 a few years back and its about 25x more powerful...Def price changes the perspective a lot given how cheap rather well spec laptops are...for that extra say 100 or 150 the surface is a different animal that I see as the way everything is heading...a unified slate and tablet phone world where laptops and desktops are phased out and you merely beam your layout to a giant oled monitor or something lol

Actually it's the 512G. Not the 128g for $550. I'm also looking at a Surface Pro 3 with 128g with a small Crack on it for $350, to fix is like 150
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RaymondPJR:
This is probably a result of Samsung having to address the mess that was the S6's memory management. They are reporting smoother performance, better ram usage and battery life. Nice of them to pass what they learned along to us.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yes if 512 that's really good...my main focus was 8gb ram model which I think was minimum 256gb...I sought that model specifically for the specs to price mix but that's a Def good deal imo condition depending

Oh I know native tether works as it would on say stock, but I think Jovy made mods to his ROM to allow unlimited without the use of WTR. Well I shouldn't say I think, he calls out unlimited tether mod in the OP.

I'm not on Jovy anymore (pr7x) but my APN settings were essentially stock outside of ipv4 on everything and the addition of "dun". I cranked down roughly 2 gb on my tablet and 3 gb worth of updates to my Linux box with it registering maybe 200mb when I was testing it out.

OK cool then that's another option then lol...run fk...a 2 dollar app...or some random rom...i have no way to test to find the mod being on att...so if the native mods thsat work in firekat still don't work in pr and adding the proper apn over pr premod then unless someone tests the pr mod or just pm the new fix then wtr is the goto for jacking free tethering from tmo lol

Just backed you on Patreon. Send an email out once the V8 builds are up! Sooner is better so I can take advantage of even more battery hog. Just saw the Note 5 on AA and it's clearly a dud, so going to have to go in for the long haul with the N4 :)

Oh awesome dude thanks a lot...I'm getting really excited to get everything going for us on the community

I know dude I keep hoping they've been somehow masterminding this elaborate hoax to trick us into thinking it's this slight downgrade from n4...it's funny if we didn't own n4 before and you just laid out the specs...the somewhat arbitrary gap in benchmark between 805 and exynos aside you'd think n4 was the upgrade lol...will Def drop a message on the board tomorrow with the usual updates here bro

Sorry to say fellas...it looked like my buddy was playing with the official device after all last week...sucks for those of us holding out for the launch but the official device is leaked everywhere it's all over Google people leaking demo units and boxes...note 4 clone with a different back...32gb with around 23 gb usable storage and no sd with no removable battery, no ir remote listed, no usb c or even usb 3...feels like they were trying to do the least possible rush job thinking slapping glass on the note 4 was gonna be the way to go for a device of functionality originally bought and marketed toward business people and power users...Shame samsung is screwing the best device range in the android world over and literally stripping it down to be like every other generic phone out..i guess I'll be picking up a black note 4 next week on launch day as n5 goes official lol...and for the money I can save I'll almost be able to get a 2nd n4 AND another device for the cost of what a 64 or easily 128gb would cost...smh

Hopefully the new huawei devices mate 8 or nexus 2016, lg g pro 3 or g4 pro, moto x 2016 all look way better imo for the money...

A couple little rendering optimizations just polish

And the main thing most of us are wanting....the new overhauled poprocks V8X camera...taking the best shots of the cameras yet, but also adding the ability to shoot indoors/low light without smoothing blur or other "fixes" the software try to muddy things with...there are a few other changes I can't remember off hand lol...running amazing I have to say...

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ThC23:
Oh ok, just wondering. Wanted to see if there was any improvements on the firmware update that we needed like the stagefright patch. But I guess I can flash that patch for it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Oh yea by all means you can if you just wanna check out stock...Albgol and another dude said it was a little better than cod6 but no feedback on the boot situation and that'd be brutal to get stuck on essentially the same base esp if the builds wont boot properly on the new base lol...but yea it's kinda pointless if your gonna flash v8x...just pop the patch in after if you want that and you're good

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Amd4life:
FYI, I flashed the new build out of curiosity, and #1 you CAN flash back to KitKat, #2 I did NOT notice any discernible improvements in screen temp/color/dimming, menu transition fluidity, signal strength etc. Also xposed slows down all 5.01 tw devices vs kit kat ( I didn't believe it till I went back to kit kat lol, quite a speed bump), but the new build moves at a snail's pace with xposed (v65 krait or generic), installed. So I'd leave xposed off with the new firmware till its updated.

Didn't spend enough time with battery life to comment. Just thought I'd help
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea the issue with xposed is generic across all touchwiz builds on all devices running lollipop...which is why for me persoanlly my note 4 is the only device I have running...or that I even plan to be running lollipop on...Every other device I own is on 4.4.2 or 4.4.4...

I don't think it works at all on tw 5.1.1 yet...?

OK thanks for the info man...at least if people do mistakenly take the update they can odin cod6 properly to run the builds properly so at least that's a plus...and for the people freaking out over stagefright just use the patch kit...thanks for the info dude
