I just picked up a note 5. Couldn't pass up on a good deal I got. After using it for 2 weeks,im going to end up returning it. The awe of it being a new design just fads away. It's really is basically the same phone as the note 4. Just messing with it first hand experience, made it the more reason why it is the right decision to stick with the n4. Battery and Microsd card was too much for me to give up. I don't use IR or stylus too much though. Poprocks rom just sealed the deal. That and it's an unrootable AT&T variant note 5 didn't help. Just ordered a new oem note 4 battery yesterday. Im here for the long haul guys..(till next year) ... Lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Man I def understand where you're coming from...I wanted so bad to enjoy it...regardless of the downsides just as a fan...but between the battery life and no access to swap...the 32 having far too little storage...and the overall device not having a single piece of unique hardware between n4 and S6...it's just really hard to like...of the few post ive seen people make about it...several have come off like buyers remorse or trying to convince themselves its great by trying to convince others...which is a bummer for the price of a pretty sick laptop you end up with a n4 with a glass back...Def great you got the novelty of it and experience without the expense or downside...

This says it all imo...N4 was 700 online for nearly a year and is still in the low to mid 500 dollar range online...n5 is already down to $575 for the unlocked intl a month out...Def smart to get a new oem battery...perfect time with the new build rolling out lol...that was a great detailed post of your experience that def echoes a similar experience I've had every time I've played with it

Man I know we all need to make money, I wish there was a way to create an open source fund for developers to keep the ecosystem alive. Losing chainfire is a HUGE loss, guess he sold it before everyone realizes how difficult Google is making things with Android moving forward.

Sad times. Guess should have known things were going to be rough when xposed never got finalized for lollipop. So what happens now do the few guys /girls dump the project for marshmallow... And all lollipop devices are stuck with could crippled implementations?

Darn Google. How many billions is enough to limit device freedom.

I've read the Canadian instructions in OP to flash "1. Odin Stock Canadian boe1 Base for V10XxX ... .."

I assume these instructions may be a little outdated...

Can I just flash to V14XxX ...from my Stock Note 4 BOE2 when released?

This will be my first time using PopRocks and I await with excitement to try.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xnknown:
nope not outdated highly advised to odin and clean flash and wipe internal storage
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ciscostud:
Clean install sure I get that. But my carrier "Wind" never released an official BOE1 only BOE2 which I'm using right now....

Hoping I could just flash based on that...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sefrcoko:
Yes you'll be fine without having to Odin in this case. Poprocks runs fine on boe2 even though it is based on boe1. If you flashed other roms though, or run into any issues, then you can always start fresh by Odin flashing your carrier's boe2 base and following the rest of the steps in OP. [emoji106]

I was just about to flash for the first time and now Im scared about my Ti backup. Whats everyone using to restore apps / text and data here?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
no restoring bud, if you need to restore anything its essentially a dirty flash and your setup efficiency will be affect. Some claim that parts can be restored, but Mega and 95% of us swear by not restoring anything only the ocassional freezing of user apps (not system apps) and possibly converting system apps to user apps that cause mad wakelocks so you can greenify them (think google now).

Mega made it native that you can back up your texts to your SD card using the messages tab in settings.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Pick_A_Name:
I use SMS Backup for texts. Personally I still use TI without to many issues. I definitely don't restore any system apps and am very choosy about any other apps. Generally I just do games and maybe a couple others. YMMV.

Sorry I never knew about being able to save texts naively. Thanks for the heads up.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] goldeman:
i was going to say the same thing about Ti. NEVERRRRRRR restore system apps(anything google, anything samsung) Thats the biggest problem with Ti and always causes issues. As far as sms I dont save my text messages. And with the Textra app all my mms are automatically saved.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
The boys already pretty much got to it but yeah I never use Titanium anymore... I haven't in several generations of Android just from thousands literally of issues relating directly to titanium... That said I know a lot of guys to use it and if they develop a way to work around it that's their call I just always clean flash and I never have trouble in my setup is absolutely insanely stupid fast

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nautica2450:
I never restore system apps... I mainly used titanium to skip manually reinstalling each and every app and to freeze apps

What are you guys using to freeze/debloat?

Sorry to keep this going just want to get all the questions out in one go lol.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yeah freezing with it works fine there's no issues...just no restoring stuff... Cuz that's just like a dirty flash

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
Care to share your technique? Do you use an app? Do you open in some form or archiving program and remove that way? This is very interesting.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xnknown:
i just use winrar, it allows you to open the zip file and delete or add files without having to zip or unzip it, followed a few bloatware guides on android and what is safe to remove with affecting usability, running great and smooth with great battery life, all in all removed almost 500mb of bloat to just over 900mb+
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dynospectrum:
Yup
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
Ahh, so you use that "bloatkill.zip" script through winrar then, I see. Sounds like a tedious process tho, but I'm sure it's worth the time if your performance has improved. What is your available memory usage if you go into settings->app manager->running tab? Mine is always around 1.1.4gb after full ROM setup.

trust me bro i want it to work more then anyone lol i was just getting ticked off, its wierd cause exact same setup on another rom works fine and the n5 icons stick properly on nova, not sure why it didnt with pr and i flashed it twice, i think ive odined about 10 times in the last two days lol

Anyone know if theirs a Screenshot hidden toggle?

and on another note,does restoring apps realy affect the rom that much? i usually restore apps with no data minus about maybe 5 of those apps (those 5 have stuff i either dont remember the login or some other reason lol),the other 100 or so i just use TItanium to reinstall but with no data,isnt that basically the same as reinstalling from the play store?

I "upgraded" to the N5 yesterday, but kept N4 for 14 day return window. I'm a bit compelled over Samsung Pay, so I'm going to judge whether it's worth it. I need a lot of screen time during the day and am already frustrated by lack of swappable batteries.

Anyone look at the new LG V10 announced yesterday? Given that Samsung has told us to go pound sand, I'm definitely checking out alternatives. Removable battery and SD slot on this baby.

Imo the v10 makes the n5 seem outdated...1.8f aperture on their new dual camera setup with manual video and photo modes...shock resistant design...removable battery and sd card...i wouldn't even consider n5 for the battery life and missing features and planned obsolescence... but the v10 I'm totally digging...thats not even accounting for the dual screen setup lol

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Michael in ATL:
Yeah, I was a bit surprised by choice of the Snapdragon 808, on a flagship phone.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Amd4life:
I would be on the LG, if it had a faster processor. I'm not dropping 600-700 if the phone does not have a significant upgrade from the note 4. these companies are missing a HUGE window to take over the #2 market from Samsung.

go overboard for one device, and keep it open to the user (unlocked bootloader), and you would have a ton of converts. Who wants a PIP smartphone screen and two selfie cameras? Weird.

Now is Mega gets one and puts that special sauce on it, maybe I guess.

Side bar: when will all discussions and new roms move to the new site? Should we migrate/register yet?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
And I definitely agree that a lot of the stuff is somewhat of a novelty don't get me wrong... What I gave them a lot of credit for was ...you look at the note 5 and there's nothing innovative on it... At least lg went and tried to offer something above and beyond... It's fully clad in surgical grade metal... shock resistant... the goofy screen bits and the cameras and stuff it's a little random or unnecessary in my opinion totally agreed ...but I do love they're pushing forward rather than just recycling last years flagship hardware and basic features you know what I mean...it gives me hope they're gonna drop an unreal 6 inch g4 pro sometime in the near future when the 820 is ready for prime time

I'm not bailing...but they'll all be on there from now on as it'll save me from constantly having to address and update each op...but all new devices ect will solely be there as are all my private builds

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
The problem is really with qualcomm...the 820 probably is a few months out amd the 810 is utter crap lol...so it leaves them in a very limited box of which to work hardware wise...that 808 is only about n4/805 power but nothing shabby by any means...just no improvement from where we are

Because they have the money to do it and they have the manpower... but I got to be honest everything I've ever seen them do aside from Google search and arguably the improvement of android since they bought the os has been either abandoned or halfassed imo...google glass died kind of a joke without getting out of the developer phase after so much hype...Google apps drain like 30% of a charge...Google fiber while apparently fast is in like 3 cities... they talk about these grand plans and really hype them up but then when it comes to the reality it's like they just sort of go meh that'll do...I'm still waiting for project ara lol...so I'm always really skeptical when it comes to Google tbh
