Hey mega, long time lurker and rom user. Love the wrk man!!

Is there any way to customize TW that would remove app labels on homescreen?

You'd have to decompile the launcher and mod it...then recompile and install it

Your proactive support is most mexcellent, and greatly appreciated by all, I'm sure.

Just curious...Haven't seen any comments about the testing for the 5.1.1., or new threads (you had commented it may show up in a new thread some time ago). Is it still in the works, or is it off the burner?

I pasted the google services files over and replaced before i had a chance to check what permissions to set. what are the permissions supposed to be for the google services mod again?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Might as well repost the mod..here you go...

Fellas given Google insane amount of drain since the latest round of updates and new services... Its more important than ever to get Google crap under control...

Thanks Mega,

Ya I've noticed an insane amount of battery drain since the latest Google Services update. WTF is wrong with those idiots lol. Battery life I'd say is #1 or #2 thing that we all would like along with speed... idiots. but thanks to you my phone will be back to normal :) (normal for us, not the poor people using this device on stock)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
It's been the worst drain and highest wls I've ever seen...they even managed to top their utterly sh#t updates of last winter...it's unbelievable tbh they can be either so brazen stealing that much data to drain 30% of the battery...or that utterly stupid...I'd say it's a little of both lol...can't Imagine being on stock without the mods smh brutal

In their commercial they rave about these "new" features that have been on Android phones since like 2008 and call them amazing new innovations. It makes me want to vomit in disgust.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I was actually stunned watching a video which shows basically an iPad that has ripped off a bunch of the note tablet features...the pen...even down to the apps like s note...it was mind-blowing considering Apple keeps suing Samsung for weird stuff like "copying the idea" of swipe to unlock and stupid little features when they're stealing like raw hardware development and major software festuees of android it's it's bizarre...and of course the shills have "never seen anything like it before..." lmfao especially for like the 1200 dollar package price... Lolz

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Hahah right...little hefty a price to pay for killing service drain lol...that's true to some extent def...the other thing like my bro and sister in law are basically "trapped" in the ecosystem...their video alarm system is ios/server based...their apps and play store purchase ect...I never really consider that side cuz my sister in law loves my pr n4 setup and is dying to get n4 and n12 but she's basically stuck which def blows lol

They're copying Samsung again with the animated photos. I forget exactly what Samsung calls them, but I'm pretty sure those have been around since the S3 or S4.

Luckily found a quick solution and im back to normal now but that was a close one,and thank the heavens i have a JIG on hand cuz my home button still doesnt work so i would of had no way to get into download mode lol...

with this battery life there is no reason not to choose the refinement. pr hands down but FK with always be ready for anything you throw at it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
I definitely agree. The battery life is similar to of FK.

My current conclusions:

PRv13X

-power: 9/10, battery life: 8.5/10, verdict: heavy power user extremist

-Xposed hits the performance hard, hard coded mega mods helps PR cope

-PR still has improvement potential with future updates (Samsung base updates AND mega magic)

FKv18X

-power: 8.5/10, battery life: 9.5/10, verdict: power endurance extremist

-Xposed working flawlessly, no performance hits and hard coded mega mods also available

-FK is at peak with minimal improvement potential for improvement (no more base updates from Samsung, ONLY mega magic)

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
For me I think the picture quality is the same from FK to PR, if anything I think the color saturation is slightly on PRs side but the sharpness I'd slightly over on FKs side. Purely anecdotal tho :)

Thanks man! Sunday I'll set up my new note 4 right out of the box and run FKV18X on it while I put my current note 4 up for sale, I'll still have this one on V13x, I'll just advance wipe and start fresh (or not as I clean flashed 1.5 weeks ago and it settled in nicely) and run them side by side see the differences. When I find a buyer, I'll pop in a quick odin to stock :p you know me I'm a for data so I'll post some SOTs of FKV18X :) p

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea I'm def really curious to compare the speed of pr shutter/save times with the fk camera shutter...as the quality of photos were very similar for clarity and tone...if fk has the same shutter/save speed that would be clutch

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
Hahaha nope, if Samsung Pay is not all that it's cracked up to then I'm thinking about rooting. But everything else I used to root for is now stock, besides the Ad's issue. Theme's throughout the whole phone, speed, battery life is actually what I got on this rom which is surprising lol.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No...total...the last couple builds have pushed the sot up to fk levels.. I'm pulling 4+ sot over 2 days total full brightness and gear s over bluetooth...others are posting 5/6 sot...awesome your getting that on n5 I def haven't heard anyone else with it getting near that so that's great...my buddy tops out at 2.5 sot with no standby at full brightness for context

Now that you mentioned that...just going back and comparing my older fk shots to the pr shots...they're def close in color and clarity...I had remembered it being a bigger difference but it's been months since running fk...I have to agree there's not a huge difference between the 2 rebuilt cameras at least from my sets of shots

Added...adjusting for time of day/year the pr camera is somewhat more colorful but yea def super close in sharpness

FK V10X or so shot

Hmmmm do you have apps on your phone lolol. But nah I get about 3 1/2 - 4 sot but i also only do about 35 brightness unless I'm outside, I have about 200 apps or something crazy lol. Getting two days on a phone has never been possible for me.

hey mega, do you exactly how much the battery life is affected by xposed?

been using it without for like a couple months now, and it would he nice to have to say the least haha
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Battery life? No I couldn't ever run my slowed down setup long enough to measure it...the performance hit annoyed me to no extent...most pr setups are getting crazy battery life on the last few builds so I wouldn't worry as much about that side tbh it's the killing of cpu performance that is the main issue

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
I got the 64gb, no way I could do 32 lol. I have a Dash Macro SD card thing for my external one.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] imafriend123:
maybe I should just go back to firekat just for xposed. I really miss the customization stuff. haha

all I need to do is reflash the the older base via Odin right?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Odin ank4 and wipe internal storage with stock recovery...then just roll with it as usual...yea def fk for xposed...especially as the speed is up to pr level ans guys are posting 5/6/7 hour Sot times with xposed...Def fk for xposed

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] imafriend123:
yeah I've been seeing the post on the fk page and the battery life is insane.

thanks for the 2 best roms on this device. appreciate all your work!

Thanks alot bro [emoji106] I def appreciate it...enjoy...I've def been missing fl/xposed so ive been considering the same thing the last few days

But my v13x setup is just hard to give up lol...the speed of pr and finally getting fk battery levels again...but I really miss some of my old setup

Full brightness and gear s over bluetooth...10 Gmail/drive accts sync ect...v13 def been super happy with the battery but can't quite touch fk lol

FK doesn't have the camera optimizations?? Dang! Now I have to decide between better camera, or better privacy. grrrrrr :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Haha no it has the same rebuild lol..that or stock 4.4.4 camera was something else lol...my shutter seemed faster on PR. ..but I haven't been on the last 7 fk builds lolz

Didn't you see my shot comparison?

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gregma:
I did, and my elderly eyes couldn't see a difference. LOL

Well, I'm now on FK, although I can't get quadrant on the base build to go over 22k. It was over 33k on PR. Installing XPosed right now and going to see what happens. If it is still at 22k, then I'm not sure if I'll stay. it was around 16k on PR, and there isn't that big of a difference between the 16k hit on PR and the 22k I'm getting on FK. On to more reflashes and testing. LOL
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
22k is low for fk that's odd when when did you flash v18x?...unless newer xposed builds are affecting it that bad...it should be 25 to 26.5k...but xposed does affect it...used to only knock off 1500 points but that would be almost 3000 to 4000 points decreased...

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chrisrj28:
Yeah me either, I like the N4 but even though the N5 is a minor update at best there are things about that phone that I wanted from this phone so I'm sure I'll be upgrading seeing as how HTC has taken a ? with their products this year
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
And given their teetering on bankruptcy it's not looking good for Htc. ..

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chrisrj28:
Exactly man, I was HTC to the core but after I had the m8 nothing has caught my interest from them. If they don't come with something amazing next year they are done for
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
The Snapdragon 810 probably screwed them over extremely hard...but given how little they're even on people's radar...short of some insane revolution Idk what they're gonna do to recover...which sucks in general for the android world

I'd wait and see about s7 personally...it seems like they're already leaking stuff for an early 2016 launch with far better hw than n5...the exynos 8 series will be a monster

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gregma:
Actually the 22k was withOUT exposed installed. Just odin'd ANK4, installed FK18, let it settle. Installed Quadrant and ran it. Waited 15 mintues, ran Quadrant again. Waited 15 minutes and ran Quadrant again. 22k all three times.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol you just flashed it...so your testing the speed while the system builds? Lol

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gregma:
Of course not! I didn't even install quadrant until 15 minutes had elapsed. And three quadrant runs over the course of 45 minutes. I'm pretty sure it should have settled in an hour! lol it's exactly what I do with PR. Wanna get a laugh? I just flashed xposed and quandrant went UP to well over 25k! lol I uninstalled xposed and it went back DOWN to 22k. omg.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol yea man just a reboot and some time will change it dramatically as would letting it cool naturally that's why I was confused what you're trying for? But now you have no standard to know the actual variance...which I guess doesn't matter for just seeing which is less nerfed which def still is fk as the goto for xposed

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gregma:
Yup, still FK. 25k vs 15k.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ElMadre:
I'm still on FK 15, with Xposed, just got 23920 on Quadrant. That's consistent with your expected numbers.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol with wanam on PR I was struggling down around 11k lmao

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea that's about right...cuz you can easily see a 500 point give or take just between tests...so say 23.5 to 24.4k...I mean those 25k were my setup with xposed so it's xposed has gotten a little worse than it used to be but thats about what I'd expect especially using a few mods...esp on a really old fk ect...Def time for an update lol

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ElMadre:
****e, you just made me realize I'm on 14, not 15. Gotta get on that. "Really old" is like 2 weeks up in here. Tell me there's no 19 coming in the next week and I'll do it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Haha I mean in terms of performance...the speed of v18x is def a few steps up from fk 14/15... no there won't be another fk until I'm actually back on it to test improvements...the video posted of v17 running hand in hand with a n5 was insane lol...esp more than doubling n5 battery lol

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
That's what I meant about the colors, they are slightly (only noticeable if you are detail oriented) more vibrant on PR but sharpness I still think is on the FK side. Isn't it the same camera? I always thought it's the hardware end of the camera which matters most but I guess build to build can be improved on the sub system side as you've been proving :)

I'll let you know when I start testing (take pictures of the same object side by side at same time, opening recents, etc), if there is anything in particular you'd like me to test between FKv18X vs PRv13X let me know :P

I did however test PRv13X settled, all animations off vs note 5 dtock with animations off, the speed was surprisingly identical (opening app for app, opening recents for recents, swiping through layout pages, etc). The only thing that was faster on note 5 was loading the camera app, it was faster. Stock browser was faster as well but in note 4 defence it was hooked up to a network while the other browser wad not so I think we should not count this part :p
