I also want to format my SD card for the first time in a long time. Whats the correct one to format to ? (fat32, etc)

You wouldn't happen to be in China would you? Lol. Visiting here for a couple of days and all Google is blocked! Can't check email or visit the Play Store to check out the icon set recommendations.

After reading the specs of the proposed Note 5, it got me thinking what a commercial for that device might look like. They used to use a removable battery and SD card slot as a reason it stood out from an iPhone. Remember the one of iPhone users constantly sitting next to a wall outlet? They might as well take an iPhone commercial, add a pen and call it the Note 5.

I also want to format my SD card for the first time in a long time. Whats the correct one to format to ? (fat32, etc)

Oh ok.. i was gonna do it on the computer.. guess its easier on the phone.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
It just keeps the proper formatting and drivers installed on your card for the android system...still works on pc as usual as well

Added...i have yet to ever lose a card or run into any issues...my original 16gb class 6 is still in my old note 1 that just did probably in all seriousness the 500th flash on it...plus the gigs of restores and music ect still running strong using this method

Xposed on lollipop devours your battery like its going out of style. That's just the framework itself. Each module you enable only increases its appetite. I have completely abandoned Xposed on PR for now. It reminds me of how spoiled we all are because of Xposed.

It's an opportunity to exercise those old manual modding muscles!

i have a very stupid question but do I lose media when odin flash stock lollilop?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pstarkey001:
Not if you have it stored on external sd. I always keep my photos,music, etc on sd and take sd out when using odin just to be safe.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No nothing should change when you odin the stock rom...your data and Apps will all be there just supersu and recovery go...nothing from your internal or ext sd will get erased until you wipe in twrp before flashing pr and only then will your apps wipe...I rarely wipe my internal storage...

I think you mentioned a golden age of jb/kk before, I couldn't agree more. Google just announced 360 video ads, lucky us.

I mentioned the Xposed dilemma in arter97's thread and it was news to them. Thought I would report back here and let everyone know that their help is needed getting Xposed fixed. Cheers!

Really? I guess I can kinda see that if most people do their setup right after flashing...and then don't run it without to compare...you'd think it was just par for the course...but they have to have the heat and battery issues even if they don't test or benchmark it lol...then again lollipop has been garbage until pr v5 and v6 lol...nice work passing it on i figured they were just working on it...and Fred said he felt the new update was a little better less heat ect so I can't say since I haven't tested it myself but several other reports were still messed up cpu scores

You can still always use an external flash drive. Sandisk has the connect wireless flash drives which might me a nice alternative.

It's happened to me because of Wanam. To fix it I disable Wanam, reboot then re-enable and reboot once again. After that it never happens again unless maybe I update/change loco's theme.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
Normally yes...wanam did cause that for me too many but I'm not running xposed anymore as per mega recommendation and I have noticed a significant bump in performance and stability.

After a few reboots it went away.

So do I! Latest been in beta far too long.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Product F(RED):
I just want to say that if you're like me and you need xposed, update to the V5 Krait version or whichever is the newest when you read this. My phone is MUCH faster. It also doesn't get hot under the camera/top of the screen anymore. Recent Apps also comes up pretty much instantly. Make sure to wipe cache/dalvik too. It's normal if the phone gets hot on first boot ("optimizing apps")

I was running the 0430 version and it was beyond terrible. I was ready to throw my Note at the wall.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nautica2450:
do you have any before and after benchmarking? Many of us are just waiting for better stability and usability for xposed.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Product F(RED):
To be honest, I don't benchmark. I think it's bs (personal opinion). I care about fluidity, battery life, and every day performance. I *do* game, but again I don't care about benchmarking.

I can tell you that the phone feels like it was just booted every time I pick it up (no symptoms of memory leak, although I'm using the "Fix Lollipop Memory Leak" Xposed module).

But it is definitely a night and day difference and there is no reason not to update to V5 Krait.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
You can call it bs all you want dude but its not...benchmarking a total like a high score is bs...using the actual data to validate a problem by establishing a baseline store and determining the variance is not... that's statistically proven data and is a lot more valid that simply posting welp imo it's fast enough running my setup nerfed...showing a variance from an established baseline is completely relevant

Using xposed like I said yesterday your call your choice to nerf your setup I reco no one use it

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Fellas if this is your norm...consistently

You install xposed and get this...consistently as your new baseline it's hard to say xposed is not the problem and that said issue is not crushing my setup beyond any reasonable point...remember my real world speed was so much slower it's what tipped me off to even run the benchmark tests...

If there wasn't a significant issue I wouldn't reco against it...it would make no sense lol...I want xposed to function properly probably more than most but not when it's literally setting me back further than odin back to kk and running a fk setup...real world speed is the point and it's what gets nerfed...jf I could prove my crap in hand experience without benchmarks they wouldn't be neccessary unfortunately they're the only reliable source of information that's not purely subjective

Just xposed installed

Awesome dude thanks for the feedback I'm glad your setup minus xposed has taken a step back up in the right direction...hopefully it will be sorted before long

Seems like that was just a fluke that went away after a boot or two...all good bro gonna check out your review

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gregma:
I'll check again. Last I tried servicely enables you to shutdown services that are running in the background, but does not have the ability to say prevent a game from having access to the network or internet service. Servicely is like Greenify.

--Greg
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Product F(RED):
Fellas, I'm not here to attack anyone. All I said was

if

you need Xposed like I do, then update to V5 Krait because it's better than the previous version overall. I never said that running Xposed was better than not running it. In fact, I fully acknowledge that running Xposed will partially gimp your setup. However, at the benefit of increased functionality.

The beauty of Android is there's choice. I do not disagree at all with mega or anyone who says that Xposed will gimp your setup. But again, there are also those of us who are fine with the slight performance hit. It's no different than people underclocking/undervolting to save battery.

The "I think benchmarking is bs ("personal opinion")" statement was just that; a personal opinion. I actually went back and edited it to add "personal opinion" to make sure it was clear that I'm not speaking down to anyone.

I'm coming all the way back from the EVO 4G era where people would constantly flash kernels and overclock their phones just to get high benchmark scores. In fact there were kernels specifically designed to cheat the system and result in higher-than-normal scores without actually providing higher performance. So forgive me if I have a different opinion from you based on past experience.

Again, it's nothing personal and I'm not here to butt heads with anyone.

----------

Since you guys asked, here's a benchmark with V5 Krait Xposed (single run, DVFS enabled):

As you can see there's a big improvement.

Second run:

vs. previously with Xposed + Wanam:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sefrcoko:
Agreed that the latest xposed performs better than previous versions, although i can pretty much double that score without xposed. As always it's not about the score itself, it's about the differential. Getting 29k means nothing, but getting 29k vs 14k on same device is meaningful. As you said it's a personal choice whether you prefer xposed or not given the info we know about it's performance impact on LP. At least we have options :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
I think the only difference is that servicely let's you shut down individual services and greenify just takes care of the app as a whole :)

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gregma:
I agree with the difference between Greenify and Servicely. However, I need the equivalent to XPrivacy. That app blocks apps from having access to certain permissions. It gives it bogus information or blocks it entirely. Like it prevents a game from having Network permissions. Doesn't work on services, but on permissions.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ram4ufriends:
Just a suggestion, how about deleting all the bloatware (Samsung, Google and T-Mobile) by default. Users can install them from Playstore if they want to. You may want to default all the best practices you mentioned in OP in ROM itself (like unchecking force gpu) instead of repeating for all users whnever they have issues :)..just a suggestion, I almost used all Touchwiz and AOSP roms and settled with pr as this has been running great....
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
XPrivacy saves you battery? Does blocking the services ever cause errors like "Google services has stopped working" or anything like that?

Nice suggestions, but Mega noted in the past that he may one day do a gutted ROM with certain apps removed and certain settings enabled/disable for the users requesting it but for now he wants to deliver a true to stock ROM with added performance and battery efficiency tweaks. I wouldn't mind a PR-BLOATWARE flaah zip that the users can run but we had one before from notr4me which works on all versions of PR.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gregma:
It does not, no. It just prevents applications from using permissions they shouldn't. I don't want games to be able to run googleanalytics, so it blocks their access to the internet for reporting. I may not want another app to have access to my user accounts, so it will block them from that permission, etc.

XPrivacy

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No worries dude it's no argument or anything...just clarifying some information that may confuse people of the situation I wanna make sure is clear

Sef reiterated almost verbatim what I was saying...I have zero issues with anyone choosing to run xposed knowingly at all...I totally get why you would I love xposed...I merely had an issue with calling the data out in question as if it's invalid merely because the idea of comparison max scores has little to no use or meaning...that that should somehow negate the variances themselves as invalid...cuz as your data shows and as sef noted 29k to 15k is massive drop and indicates there is still further impacts when using v5...

I appreciate the follow up post and data as there is no argument over your opinion to use it whatsoever

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol no...I actually use galaxy apps and gear manager...and alot of guys use mirroring and other samsung features...aside from the fact gutting the system typically only causes unnecessary issues that otherwise wouldn't be there...no performance gain and little of any storage clearance...

Part 2 is what op are you reading? They're in the op instructions if you read them lmao...uncheck force gpu rendering is step 18...supersu to grant is #15 lol...what else optimal do I need to add? Not to mention op2 is literally my exact setup so do I simply repost it in op1? Lol

Thanks dude glad your enjoying the roms it's totally my pleasure man

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea I have no idea I just threw servicely out there as I thought it was a similar permissions controller like amplify or xprivacy...there may very well be no replacement for x privacy which I believes ties into that stock app permissions manager in the system and it may backdoor alot of manoeuvres most other root apps dont or can't idk

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
Just a public service announcement.

When mega tells you to Odin stock and reflash.. Do it. Don't be lazy..just do it.

My Note 4 is like a brand new device. Lighting fast.

I also backed up my extsd on my pc and reformatted that as well.

I still believe the Note 4 is the best overall device on the market.

It has the big 4. Great camera, extsd support, removable battery & rom development support.

Say goodbye to the last great Samsung

Hi Mega:

I have been using your rom for a few days now, is great I get around 5/6 hours screen time and I get a little lag here and there but nothing crazy.

Now the only issue that I have is that my phone gets hot on the middle top, I have read that lp is causing many problems.

I'm thinking on downgrading to kk, and flash fk.

Do you think that the phone is gonna get hot on fk too?

(just got my note 4 last saturday and it came with the lp firmware so I didn't had a chance to try kk/fk).
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Welcome to the thread man...a few things...lp in general runs super hot compared to kk...so if your setup on pr is hot it would be on average 11 to 15 degrees hotter on stock lp rom if your on v6 just for context...that said a ton of issues and finicky problems exist in lp that have never been an issue in android prior...I'm sure your seeing some of the discussion of the impact simply installing xposed has on your setup...adaway 2.8 and 2.9 added 8 degrees to my run time temp ans decreased my battery in turn

A rule of thumb is whenever your note is running hot it's using more battery than it would otherwise at a cooler temp so you can almost "feel" the drain on lp...also that said v6 should run cold or cool to the touch on a clean setup...I run full brightness and could count my screen dims on one hand since flashing a clean v6 so my suggestion is you clean flash and start fresh using the op/op2 to adjust your setup...downgrading back to fk is a similar experience overall...slightly less snappy than a clean pr setup but more efficient and cooler...theme aside they are extremely similar builds...enjoy

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Totally agree man...It's def the last note to offer the option of running 4.4.4 and 5.x which to me marked the end of the golden era of android...note 4 unfortunately also seems to be the end of the great evolution rush of amazing advancement in such a short time...looking at Fred links to the leak note 5 it's like a note 4 replica in a unibody case...idk who buys a device for what it's made out of vs what it does but man 750 for a less customizable nearly identical device just seems a bitter pill to swallow for me...it better be 6 inches and have something absolutely mind blowing to warrant even considering it over a second note 4 imo

Thanks bro I'm glad your fresh kit is doing work...I know it's a bit of a hassle to swap so I'm happy it came thru for you bro

It's gonna be a sad day when the eMMC chip eventually dies in my Note 4 (gonna take years, but still).

Seriously though, the Note 4 is actually premium feeling and looking. Metal + leathery back. Not sure why they felt the need to seal everything...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
That's what I've been trying to figure out myself...you'd have thought that if random generic back plates are sold on ebay for like 6 bucks lol...Samsung surely could've offered a metal or aluminum or real leather plate like g4 does for how many ever people are actually hung up on the back of their phone lol which I seriously doubt is many people day to day haha...other than forcing storage up sales by removing the card...I kinda see that greedy side...the sealed back and battery is a head scratcher...hell they sell the oem batteries most of us buy anyway lol?

I'll almost surely end up buying another n4 down the road...its just such a well built well spec kit...that for a final shot at having full real android on it...I'm def happy we got n4 and this all didn't crash on us during n3 as much as I liked that phone n4 is def a premium caliber of its own
