Everything I've been reading on these new phones coming out are nothing great. The nexus 6 has a lot of development and all the features that I want in a phone. I don't need to have the latest and greatest especially when it doesn't seem to be all that great. Lol. Other than my note the 6 is starting to make sense to me. Thanks mega.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Even at best if note 5 was 6 inches and 4000 maph battery....we'd still get the same camera sensor as note 4 again just slightly wider aperture...Same basic s pen use...Same general touchwiz features and functions...and that's best case scenario...i mean it be all over it lol but its not like it would be a step up in any real sense...unfortunately it's looking to be a downgrade back to 5.6 inches sad face lol...as for the exynos hw I mean you'll really never see the gap between 805 and exynos powerhouses exploited until android source itself gets updated to properly run hw like that...the gap between generations is almost irrelevant imo really since snapdragon 800 in note 3 as android itself is the bottleneck ...So it's not like buying last year's nexus will be outdated as in years prior...plus if you're keeping a note it'd make a fun backup mini tab if anything with front speakers and 6 inch screen

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] force70:
Yes not carrier locked if bought from Google.

However nexus uses a nano sim not a micro sim so he needs a nano plus micro adapter to go back and forth between note and nexus like me :D

Honestly from what ive seen thus far coming out and if i needed a new phone it would be the moto x.

5.7 screen

Front facing speakers

64gb internal storage

Ext sd support

Close to vanilla android

Moto build quality.

For me if it had a 6" screen if be first in line for it lol.

The g4 pro is my only real hope for a new device this fall....

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
See I'd prefer the Moto additions to aosp as well...hell any additions lol...and I'm curious to see as this will be lenovos first time building Motorola devices since buying them...it's clearly beneficial in the price and they make some nice phones...i just don't see the point replacing one phone with another of the same size and less quality hw or software...like the g pro 3 or g4 pro is where I'm banking cuz even tho its not quite say samsung level design or camera quality...if 6 inches then pretty close is a fine trade off for me...and why I'm still considering n6 even tho I'd much prefer lenovo or Moto ui from the x 2015...my sort of guide is it's really just a matter for me that n4 on V7 set a precedent and to spend between 500 and 800 for my next device it has to at least be different if not better cuz i seriously doubt anything will actually trump n4 just imo as overall they put everything possible into at the time and now that it's running properly it's hard to match it's a mini computer and camera rolled into a phone lol

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] force70:
I realllly like the idea of 64gb int storage plus adding a 128gb sd card though :D

Buy yeah the 5.7 screen....makes no sense to go from n4 to moto x...

Looks like you and me both are hinging our fall on the g4 pro.

Sadly i bet LG will lock the BL on it which for me makes it a paperweight

I will never spend my money on a device i cant do whatever i want with.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea I mean i wouldn't spend the money tbh...a mechanic wouldn't but a car they couldn't tweak tune or rebuild lol...i bought the g flex knowing I had a way around it...but like note 5 I have a subsidy on att that I could've used for like 2 years but I'd never buy a locked device...the difference of what the roms do is worth the full price for me without even thinking about it...try using stock for a week let alone 1 year or more lol no thanks I got annoyed in days with note 4 and almost returned it before I got root and twrp even though fk was done lol...i hardly touched it cuz my fkn3 was so much faster I was super annoyed tbh...and from this generation/m and on... given no option from security lockouts like selinux knox 3.0 exploit patches ect...I'll just buy older devices like note 4 as it and my megas are my fave devices ever...and a few other devices I always like like g pro 2 and huawei mate 7

I forgot to ask that question about what size Sim card. Thank you for saying that. I appreciate that. As for the new moto x pure coming out I'm still not super impressed with it. But I will say I like the fact it will allow for expandable storage.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Thee_illuminati:
Yesh looks like it's finally a step foward, I wonder how well it'll block viruses out though. It's been one thing I've always hated on a pc.

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bbrannack:
I have another question. I've never actually had 2 phones at once with one sim card. Do I just have to go to t-mobile and get a nano sim if I end up buying a nexus 6? What will happen with the one I have In My note now? I think I'm confusing myself. Lol.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
You can either cut it or have them swap it for a smaller nano...then when you wanna use n4 you have to get little sim converter...Their like 5 bucks on amazon for decent ones...i do this very thing between gear s and N4. ..i use n4 with sim converter for att nano sim cuz I use my gear s alot in the winter without my phone

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bbrannack:
Awesome. Thanks. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna order me a n6 tonight.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] force70:
Yeah i thought the g pro 2 never got the attention it should have and if the mate series had od used snapdragons instead of kirins....wow whole diff ballgame.

I think my note 4 stayed stock for half a day lol...then i flashed your rom...then found out i needed a custom kernel hahaa.....lots of fun that day was.

Do I have to do anything special before upgrading to windows 10?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I just tapped the little windows box and allowed it to do it automatically and woke up the next day on 10...was gonna do it all manually and downloaded the os image file and stuff but got a little popup on my tab that was like windows 10 ready install now...um yes please lol

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea the in house soc for huawei has me torn since they are actually really powerful...up close to snapdragon level...but dude their builds are a mess and their skin is strange

I totally agree...i was really torn when I got the flex cuz I wanted to pro 2 but the flex was so cheap I couldn't pass it up..but Im really considering the pro 2 if pro 3 doesn't for whatever reason do it for me...the n6 and gp2 are super similar devices which was the original attraction to n6 for me

Im on TWRP 2.8.1.1 and I tried to flash Poprocks v7x, but it says "E: Zip signature verification failed:1". I've also verified the MD5. Do you guys know how to solve this? Thanks.

Edit: Never mind. I just unchecked "zip file signature verification" after choosing the zip file, and the installation is starting up right now.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
You probably have reactivation lock enabled in the base stock rom...you need to disable it then flash everything over...that may also be an md5 check issue if you enabled that in twrp. ..check those two and you should find your issue

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] WTFD4V1D:

Yea dude those are pretty vibrant and sharp...especially vs what they are on a stock n6..that was a major thing molding me from odering a n6 really...not that it was to even replace my note but I wanted my backup to have a usable camera...the good thing is now tho if n5 truly fails and g pro 3 doesn't come thru at least I have a 6 inch go to for something different to play with at the least ....those look great man gotta admit

I noticed the same thing about the speed difference between AOSP and TouchWiz. I just tried CM12.1 the other day to see what it was like on the Note 4. It was very snappy and fast. I loved it. But I missed S Note and some of the other S Pen functions. So I installed Pop Rocks V7 and realized there is almost no difference in the snappiness and responsiveness. I was on PR V6 prior to this and for some reason I had so much lag I was considering going back to iPhone (ok not quite that bad) because I assumed it was because of the Lollipop/Samsung incompatibility. Turns out, you just need a good. ROM and it's fine.

V7 is amazing so far. I really love my phone again.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Oh well fantastic dude I love to hear that...it's entirely why I post the roms so that's awesome man...yea I think partially it's a bandwagon thing tbh...it comes down to little more than a theme change and removal of basically all features that make the note magic...I'm stoked you're enjoying v7 man I gotta say i have been as well...really loving this phone lately haha enjoy bro

So I have been having horrible signal and gps (the worse if it) for the past month or so.

I lose gps signal 10-20 times every trip I make no matter if it's 10 min or 3 hours.

When running speed test, I notice time and time again that my Note 4 is under the the impression I'm in or near North Carolina / Virginia area meanwhile I'm in NYC.

Could that be the culprit and if so how could I fix that?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Those are just the server locations where the data packet is being downloaded from not your location... but bar a fw issue or apn setting tmo is the issue for your service not your note

Merge
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
Well.. Just confusing bc previously (few months back) it showed NY, NY, & long Island NY, as me 3 closest servers. Not only that, showed them as anywhere from 15-25 miles away.

Now it shows NYC as 369 miles away.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I can't speak to that man I don't have a habit of going into the change server settings of my speed test app on the regular and making note lol...who knows why it picks a given server based on your location it always seems random to me...i often get an Arizona server when testing wifi at my house in Cincinnati lol why idk

When I first got my hands in my note 4 I really thought the gps was broken, I couldn't get a lock at all, so I looked and did a couple of things, but I believe that tightening the screws, brought it back to life, after doing that I just used gps fix while driving to work I just left it there and along the road after 15 ir 20 minutes, it locked. Hasn't stoped working ever since.

I was having the same problem the other day. Went through and Odin flashed Super SU, then reinstalled the ROM; back to stock, then installed the ROM again.

I too am in NYC and have not been impressed with the GPS on my phone either. A few things I've noticed and maybe this can help you out also. A little info on my setup, I use a body glove case, when I remove the case I've noticed I get a lock much quicker. I didn't think this thin case would make a difference but for me it does. I'm not particularly fond to have to remove my case, however, in a bind I see a huge difference.

Also what's worse is that even after it achieves a lock, I often notice it loses the lock. This is even more annoying. There is a free app in the playstore called GPS Locker. I forgot who recommended it to me, but I believe it was on this thread. It has helped tremendously in maintaining a lock during use. Using this app to maintain a lock and removing my case has made using Maps more accurate and tolerable.

I am using Emotion Kernel (r16) because I have a Gear VR, if I undervolt more than 15 Volts, I notice sometimes the GPS in not even able to acquire a lock.

And finally I read somewhere that some weather widgets causes an issue where the GPS is not able to obtain a lock. I've been using Beautiful Widgets on my home screen for as long as I can remember. I decided one day to remove the widget and I actually got a lock quicker. It might have been a placebo effect, however it did seem to make a difference.

There has been many times where I've contemplated on getting a replacement due to these annoying GPS issues, but I guess I will just have to deal with it.

In case anyone is wondering I am using the T-Mobile variant along with Xposed. I have tested with Stock Lollipop and have similar results. Maybe we just got a faulty batch since I did pre-order.

In any case, maybe a few of the things mentioned can help you out. I just thought I share my experience and findings. Good luck.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Metalshadowx2:
So basically if I want reliable customized experience and xposed go back to firekat
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yes...unless you are a massive fan of lp TW theme and don't mind nerfing your performance to that of just below a note 3 then going back to fk is your best bet for an issue free xposed experience with no impact to performance battery or stability ...otherwise there's a bunch of mods in op2 you can use with pr
