Editing the build prop should never mess with the lock screen or anything in general but whatever specific change you did broke your setup..although weirdly for all yhe people who've used that mod I never heard of that affect...glad you figure it out

Whats up fellas... Hope everybody had a good weekend... Hope everybody is enjoying the new mods and stuff posted for pop rocks... Looks like the next build is going to be pretty killer with the n5 ram tweaks taking things up to another level of fast on my setup... V9X should be the final build for 5.0 prior to tmo hopefully dropping 5.1.1 and V15X will peak fk to the culmination of the fk builds for 4.4.4...I'm gonna work on refining and truly perfecting V15X this week with the new n5/edge optimizations customized for our kit and push the new pr and fk builds out over the next week/weekend...

T3 users...apparently there's some funky issues running deodex builds on the stock kernel...it's hard to progress with so little info ect but I'm gonna finish the build over the next day or so and work on testing it...

Just a game plan of what's coming up for us with n4...enjoy the rest of your Sunday fellas

Hi guys, question for you.

If coming from another rom, after clean install, do you use titanium backup to port your apps and settings or do you start from scratch and reinstall everything from the play store?

Which one is best practice.?

Sent from my N910W8 beast
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Parnelli98:
FWIW, I start from scratch. And that means Odin stock tar, then flash ROM, settle, then reinstall apps from the Play Store. It is the only way to truthfully evaluate a ROM's performance/bugs.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
The very best way in my humble opinion which is usually worthless is to

start 100% clean and fresh, especially if coming from a different rom.

I suggest you go the playstore route and get the apps from there.

Another reason for doing that is that you will be assured to have

the latest versions of all the apps.

Always be sure to make a nandroid backup before flashing new roms

and do a full and complete wipe which includes a factory backup.

Good luck,

Have a great day!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Clean flash clean install...it'll give you the performance and efficiency gains with no stability issues... dirty flashing or restoring data introduce problems and bugs that wouldn't be there otherwise

Added as you see it's pretty universal practice these guys got you covered already [emoji115] [emoji106]

That's the way I do it these days... Was just wondering if it was overkill to restart from the beginning every time. Thank you all for confirming my thoughts.

I'll wait for v9x then before making a move.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Nope its not overkill...you have to Odin if coming from another rom...and clean flash between pr builds

I flashed the PR Loud volume warning zip from twrp, wiped my cache and davlik cache and then my phone wouldn't boot past "Optimizing apps", it would optimize all of my apps and then reboot and then do the exact same thing..

am i supposed to flash something else before the disable loud volume warning,.zip ? like xposed? or is this a case of some kind of bad flash?

I'm on Pop Rocks V8X Canadian variant.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
It may not work on can builds I'm not 100%...alot of the mods got a bit mixed after xposed when I put them back up cuz a bunch were note 4 me that he disabled links to a lot he had done so yea one or two may need can specific mods redone I just forget which tbh lol...someone prolly has your loud volume warning mods for can I'm sure tho

Back after a couple of weeks away (not physically gone anywhere but crazy busy).. Tried to catch up through thread but over 350+ pages of posts! Went through the past week though.

Anyways I'm about the do another fresh wipe/flash, etc (I'm on 7x)..but I see 9x on the way.. I saw a post from earlier in the week about 9x possibly a couple more weeks away but your earlier post today seems.. It may be closer?

If it's within a week, I may just wait and fresh flash 9 but if still few weeks away, I'll go ahead with 8x.

Also curious when 5.1.x firmware will release too (come on Sammy/carriers)..

I played with the note 5 today at best buy. It's super snappy and looks and feels great. I almost got it but I couldn't let myself "upgrade" to a smaller battery no SD card slot and no ir blaster which I use all the time since I have kids running around making controls dissappear. Lol. The phone is super smooth and cameras by far the best I've seen on a smartphone
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
For sure dude I don't think there's any note owner that doesn't like something about it... I love the fact that it's got the new exynos hardware which is extremely powerful but unfortunately also extremely thirsty as evidence in the s6 battery life struggles in a 5 inch phone...

given the totality of what it is vs n4 it's a downgrade in many aspects...and a strait recycle of the camera and screen that we have now...in a much more fragile and in my opinion cheap plastic feeling case...for the few up sides I've found even trying to convince myself to spend the money I have set aside for the 64gb...I would literally be buying a less feature packed device that is far more fragile and running almost identical software minus all gesture controls, ir remote, smaller battery...no pulling it better hope you never have a freeze....and on and on...where notes have been upgrades every year prior....this n5 just isn'tunless your a casual iPhone s6 type of user...Def not a classic note owners note...

You can still use the device without root. It's not enjoyable, but it's not totally useless either. I'd say it's more like having a Ferrari, but it's top speed is limited to 25mph and half of the engine's cylinders are disabled.

Is it possible to flash all 3 mods one after another and perform only 1 reboot or its best to flash a mod, reboot and repeat 2 more time? Also the revert mods you posted us just stock PopRocks v2 incase we want to revert back to the settings mega nodded for us right? :)

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No its not bad at all...it may not be quite as necessary as it was on kk as there doesn't seem to be the same unforgiving issues with security problems and twrp ime....i actually would say not to wipe cache and dalvik too often as you essentailly have to resettle the build for a day or so...but it def doesn't hurt anything

If anyone really misses wakelock detector, I just wanted to say it seems to be working for me after flashing a SELinux permissive kernel (AEL 13.2 in my case).
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
OK sweet sef thanks for the heads up...sucks we have to use a kernel to get it to work...parts of this lp base are more annoying than the benefits it offers imo

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sefrcoko:
Completely agree about LP Mega... Took me several tries just to build a debloated version of our stock N910W8 BOC4 firmware, whereas I was able to do it in one pass with kitkat... Weird FCs, knox issues, etc... Ended up removing all the knox stuff and yet some users were still having random knox security messages with bioshock kernel. Seems like knox is like a bad cold that just won't go away lol. Hopefully with new updates LP will sort itself out...

Lol yea it'd be miserable...after the classic android stock rom slowdown in a week or so after getting everything installed...[emoji85] oh I can't imagine not even root...that's insane how far they've gone with note 5 boot lock...hard bricking your note for root is absurd

I still don't get how it's even legal...

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Mayonesa:
Well that would be nice but like others said, it will probably be for att only and no root there... I use my N4 on att anyways but i cant lose root.

If safetrap was still around like on it was on the N3 then maybe. I had no isses with it on my N3

The battery issue would kinda suck. Im used to my zerolemon 10k mah battery but i can kinda work around it by using an external battery back i cant carry my phone on me while im at work so i wouldn't mind it charging while its in my locker.

For those still having the Samsung keyboard force close when long pressing for symbols the only way I've been able to replicate it is by turning off character key preview. That's how I prefer to use the keyboard but not with the FC. Leaving character preview on hasn't causes a FC once.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Product F(RED):
It's also why, sadly, Samsung is going to continue to do everything possible to f*ck us Note 4 owners over. Their loss, to be honest. After everything they've been doing in terms of updates (not just the Note 4), I'm done with them. They only want to cater to Apple users now, and the proof is in that promotion they're running that only applies to iPhone users.

I've owned:

- Galaxy S (Vibrant)

- Nexus S (Sprint)

- Galaxy Nexus (Sprint)

- Galaxy S II (AT&T and Sprint)

- Galaxy S III (paid $500 to import the Euro version before it was released here)

- Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Worst purchase ever)

- Galaxy S4 (AT&T w/Loki + AWS Mod for T-Mobile 4G) x2

- Galaxy Note 2 (AT&T and T-Mobile versions) x2

- Galaxy Note 3 (T-Mobile) x2

- Galaxy Note 4 (T-Mobile)

Take it from me, they are no longer the best overall manufacturer. They always (mostly) nailed the hardware, but the software? Forget it.

I agree. It's 2015 though. Stock with root should not be a problem. But for most Samsung devices it's not enough to make them usable. No wonder the average Joe who knows nothing about root or custom ROMs hates their Samsung device and goes back to iPhone.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol sure I agree in principle but that goes from Google aosp on...I mean there's the stance it shouldn't be like xyz and the reality if you don't flash roms your device runs about 1/2 it's optimal capability...

And that's before we get into the classic long term issue I've had with every stock device/setup after a week it's slower than the one previous ect...until these issues are perfect when I buy the phone give me the ability to flash the roms I build myself...
