Xposed may destroy the performance and efficiency gains made in pr but thankfully the camera is unaffected lol...one bit of reprieve in this mess

I'm updating the op2 to relay the message that xposed is not reco on poprocks...you're better off going back to FireKat of you wanna use xposed...no dancing around broken mods or functions, no nerfing your n4 performance to note 2 levels...and no efficiency issues...PopRocks is great xposed aside if you enjoy lp theme and the Perforamnce/efficiency stick to pr but forgo xposed...unfortunate but a necessary step until xposed and the modules are in any sort of usable state

Not sure if anyone else experiences this,

I made sure to do a clean odin flash from v11 to V6 pop rocks, WiFi calling is an absolute must for me as I have no reception in my apartment.

I'm currently on V6, and WiFi calling has worked, a couple times. Every time it stopped working, I thought, let me try to fix permissions...

Now I'm stuck at tmobile splash screen bootloop for 15 minutes and the phone is HOT. This is the 2nd time this has happened doing a fix permissions on this ROM.

I know it clears cash and dalvik but this is a long boot, also, the phone never got this hot installing the regular installation zips.

I'm going to pull the battery and clean flash the phone again, as much as I dont want to.

Mega, knowing I need WiFi calling, any suggestions?

No problem man, unfortunately I don't own a VR lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
You have an issue with your setup...if your using xposed don't...Same goes for a kernel...check your apn and WiFi calling apn....otherwise on a clean or setup I haven't heard of many wifi calling issues...the few have all been setup problems since it's a stock unmodded function...and fixing permissions was broken in twrp on lp so I don't reco it like on kk 4.4.4 but idk maybe it's fixed

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cowboyaryk:
Dont use xposed, I try to follow your instructions to a T, I didnt even mess with the kernel because I've never had good luck doing so.

I'll update after the clean wipe. Its wiping now

FYI, had no clue that fixing permissions was broken, may be worth noting on the OP? (if it already is, i missed that)

Check out Gsam battery monitor also, I use it along with BBS and WLD

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
There's no real point since there's no reason to use fix permissions on lp...almost every issue you'd use it for you should clean flash to resolve on lp...it was only somewhat common on 4.4.4 due to the secure storage/twrp issue

But to the point of wfc it's same as stock there is nothing modded with it in poprocks...so if you have issues with it its either your setup or the service/connection...double check your apn setups

[MENTION=5451734]megalomanic14[/MENTION] just curious, do you use the quadrant app in the Play Store or do you grab it from somewhere else? The free, standard and professional versions in the Play Store have not been updated since 2012 and look like they have the Gingerbread UI lol.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Standard play store one...yea the ui is outdated but the consistency of the test is what I prefer it for...i have a consistent progression of data from Note 1 on so it gives me context hw to hw build to build...where antutu arbitrarily adjust their scales periodically which removes ant consistency to the tests

The number or score itself is arbitrary...the variances and difference between devices and builds is crucial...right now xposed has my note 4 on pr v6 running slower than my note 2 on Fk lol sad face

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
I have the play store quadrant and it only reads like this ....

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea dude that's ridiculously low...my dual core Galaxy Note 1 scores about the same running fkn1 lol...xposed is a deal breaker on lp man...the average quadrant for my v6 setup was 29.5k...peaking as high as 30,900...thats at 5000 points...thats just destroying your setup entirely...it's literally running at 1/6 the speed poprocks v6 should be running at

This wouldn't be an issue but your real world use has be so much slower than it should be on pr itself...mine feels super slow compared to what it was before flashing xposed last night...it's the realm world impact that sucks the numbers just illustrate how severe the problem is

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
I think it's my app :S on antutu I'm hitting 50-51k scores. My real work is very fast but definitively faster without Xposed installed. I probably will revisit FKV13X for some time as I missed the rediculous battery efficency, comparable speed but above all stability of the ROM with xposed installed :) put of curiosity can you run your antutu stats just to see if you lost on that as well?

The BG tube app you uploaded will it work on NK4? I really like how stable it is and how you can listen in the background. Definitely better than stock youtube player. I just can't set it to stream HD videos which is why I use both depending if I want to listen to music multitasking or actually watching a video :)

Too late lol...already clean flashed v6 to get xposed off my setup...mine had def taken a hit...my rendering, the gallery, recent apps everything that's normally instant on my setup esp v6 that's where I noticed it most that even tipped me off to run the tests...then I ran them prolly 20 times they were def correct unfortunately...the other thing i noticed alot was the heat...i love xposed and have since 4.2.2 but it's not worth this...I'd rather odin back to fk and use the full real xposed and wanam otherwise I'm going without until it's far more sorted

Added...also my battery had dropped 40% in 5 hours...about 10x more than normal so def some issues from it unfortunately

Yea it works fine on Fk. ..i have fk on all my other devices and have BG tube installed on all of them working great

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
I noticed my gallery loading slowly as well. Thought maybe it's my microSD card but now that you mentioned it, it's probably the xposed. Truthfully I only use xposed for wanam modifications (self explanatory), youtube adaway (self explanatory), amplify (to limit wakelocks/alarms), crappalink (for Tapatalk link functionality). I don't know if I can run PRV6X without those 4 essential root apks.

What I'll do is odin stock NK4 and clean flash FKV13X with xposed. I'm going to Europe for 2.5 weeks so the extra battery efficiency that FKV13X offers sounds more beneficial and it's not like the speed/fluidity is THAT much more noticeable on PRV6X, I still think the cameras are on par with each other, PRV6X having the slight edge in color saturation. Without Xposed fully functional there is little to gain from PRV6X compared to FKV13X like you've mentioned before. You made both ROM's very much on par with minor differences. Only thing that is damn noticeable is the actual UI from NK4 to material design. Alright I'm done ranting :)

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RaymondPJR:
That depends on what you define as "working fine". Some things work alright, some not so much! Xposed updates break some tweaks that worked fine in the previous version! If you're gonna use it you must choose carefully what modules you want to use and what tweaks you enable!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea I agree man I think that all things being equal as it stands unless you're a massive fan of the lollipop ui and can suffer thru the issues xposed bring with lp it makes sense to go back to fk imo... I really like poprocks i think its really fast and snappy but I have yet to run v13x so I can't compare the two...the lp ui has grown on me but I really do miss my full setup...it's just my 2 cents... but for what you gain by coming to lp you sacrifice a lot in terms of root apps and mods...and given the similarity in performance and even benchmarks...improved efficiency of fk and basically little to no issues with mods...it's hard to reco lollipop over 4.4.4 imo as much as I enjoy poprocks for the snappiness the constant barrage of annoyances also factors in that it's just less enjoyable to run imo

I mean the option to go either way is there which is great...but we've all sat around waiting for xposed for months while all along a nearly identical fk build has had it working perfectly all along while we're running essentially an alpha build of it lol...my v6 clean flash is running amazing again but xposed is def a no fly zone on my setup till I hear it's at least stable...my reco if you enjoy poprocks run it without xposed completely as I've really enjoyed it tbh...but if you want xposed pop back to firekat and just theme your noti toggles that teal color lol

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Just curious about something...for all you Canadian guys running v6...have you guys noticed anything new in the new base? Not necessarily rom features or apps but like the efficiency feel or performance ect? Just wondering how samsung has improved the lp base if at all...as new base builds to work from will rapidly be the bottleneck to improving the build....thanks fellas

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ram4ufriends:
Just curious...Do I have ODIN the stock lollipop if I am already on PopRocks? I did ODIN Stock Lollipop earlier and flashed PopRocks. Now I just want to clean install PopRocks again, in this case I don't need to ODIN the stock lollipop again, am I correct?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Right in that case just start from advanced wipe and follow on as usual from that step

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] skyeking69:
I've been getting lots of errors and forced closures ......plus battery life is terrible, my quadrant scores are in the 15's

Time for a clean wipe as well.....

Just curious if I went back to FK 13x do I need to reflash the A1A0 kernel...or will the BOE1 work?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yup I have several posts about xposed ruining lp setups...cripples performance

You have to odin the entire kk base and same for coming back to lp

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] skyeking69:
I read your posts Mega...just replying to your question about the Canadian new base.......

Now have to flip the coin for PR or FK ????
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Oh I see what you're saying...yea that's extreme lol that sounds just like the xposed issues I had earlier...when you clean flash is what I meant...if you clean flash lol

I am debating going back for a few days or a week and run fk...i love having my setup kitted out and am just slightly annoyed with the boxed in feeling of lp with the mods and ad on causing so many issues

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] skyeking69:
I hear ya...... tough choice......might just clean flash v6 and see if I can live without the xposed mods.....if not FK here I come again!

Agree 110% Mega! Cheers to you :thumbup: I'm sure I'm not the only one that would love to have you run your very own FKV13X build for a week or two just to get your official opinion and comparison! I mean, it's your last build on FK and you haven't had the honor to run it yet!! :eek: :p I'll be waiting patiently for your review Mega :) until then, let's hope those developers get xposed + xposed apks PAST the alpha (and even beta) stages and stable for us to make a for sure return to PRV6 :)

The new base with v6x was close to the previous one for me, but it does feel a little "tighter" overall which is good (yes very subjective I know). On the other hand, I feel like my signal quality isn't as rock solid as with the BOC4 modem but again maybe just placebo effect. Battery life was shorter than usual at first (maybe 3.5hrs SOT) but I eventually tamed it and got about 5hrs SOT again. Noticed it generally felt sluggish though, so ended up moving from stock kernel to emotion kernel. Battery life went up to 5.5hrs SOT on average, and performance felt much snappier. Then I read your recent posts on xposed crippling performance, and sure enough while my antutu scores were 52k my Quadrant scores only hovered between 10k and 18k. Just finished clean flashing v6 without xposed and back up to 29k again in Quadrant (and yes things do feel fast again). My two cents lol, other experiences may vary :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Ok cool man thanks for the feedback...really I'd say almost everyone will have to re evaluate their setup that's running xposed because it's crippling the performance and draining the battery so severely that I'll be interested to see the new feedback coming from v6 for people either clean flashing an run pr itself or end up bailing on lp and go back to fk

I've honestly never seen anything like this...just devastating the system yet booting and running just doesn't make sense...and the variance between antutu and quadrant actually makes me a bit nervous wondering how severely it's affecting the system...i don't wanna host and push anything that's gonna lead less advanced guys into a world of trouble in another month or something you know what I mean...something just isn't right about the whole thing

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea i mean as its stands I'm running prv6...but I was always running it with the idea that just anytime now xposed and the mods will be sorted...any day now...but we're months and months into lp...I'm talking intl samsung devices had it several months before us...and this is the level it's at...I'm just not sure it's gonna get much better than this or at least it'll be quite a while...and when that's a huge part of what you enjoy from a setup...it almost doesn't make sense to have the option with no issues but sit here waiting without it at all for the possibility of someday lol

Even looking at my old quadrant score from v11x I was still running 27000 so it's not like the performance was a major upgrade with lp...cuz that 27k was with xposed on fk

Mega

Clean flashed v6 and setup my gear and apps plus adaway...back to normal...this was while on the charger lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
It's an absolutely amazing device dude...I'm obsessed with mine i wear it all day everyday...it replaced my android gear 1 and my serious dive watch which I'm a huge watch fan/collector but the functionality and look is untouchable....i have a straight talk sim in it and keep it bt to my n4...then outta range it kicks over to its own line...it's unreal...the best stock experience I've ever had ...and in a class of its own in smart watches and wearables

I do a huge chuck of my texting on it...and nearly every call when I'm at home thru it...i also have a huawei talkband b1 to rock with it solo as I don't carry my note if it's say raining heavy or snowing I just wear my gear...sometimes even putting my main att sim in it. ..it's basically a Galaxy s3 on your arm in a gorgeous design

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kkeith:
I ran quadrant with xposed on my w8 running v6 and got a 15k score, funny thing is I didn't seem to notice much a difference in my notes speed, blew through quadrant as well, much faster than I've ever had a phone go through it and a stable 60fps in the graphics tests with a couple jumps to 65fps, I actually expected a much higher score lol. The scores don't bother me much so long as my phone isn't hanging. I love pr too much to go back to kk lol, maybe I've just veiled my eyes to the performance, but quick pic loads my images nice and quick, uc browser smooth as hell, the only place I've noticed much lag is opening the camera but it's been like on every phone I've owned. Dunno speed is definitely subjective. I never got a chance to try fk though and may have to give that a go sometime

Edit: forgot to mention no heat issues here, running nice and cool but I've also been running ad away v3.0 since probably April (

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] freakyd9984:
I'm running SM-N90T AND THE NEWEST XPOSED APK XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk and this rom is buttery smooth so I don't see where you say xposed is such a huge difference in slowing your ROM down
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
The whole point is...its slowing the rom and having further negative impacts on an already less efficient lp build to the point there's no practical or real world benefit over firekat unless your a massive fan of the lollipop ui and are like Keith don't mind dealing with whatever issues or slow down ect to stay on PopRocks with xposed...whereas on fk 4.4.4 all root apps run without any finicky work around and mods have a fraction of the issues

Its not like the note becomes unusable or anything...I noticed it enough to merit running the quadrant anyway ..it's the point that the experience will just be better on 4.4.4 of your going to use xposed as there's less issues and a negligible impact...where the immediacy and speed of pr is the main benefit you lose almost all of the gains when flashing xposed vs fk...the difference between a clean flash coming from an xposed prv6 has been substantial as noted by a couple other guys in here tonight...its relative which is why it's a recommendation and I wanna make sure everyone's aware of what's up with their setup so they're not chasing their tail trying to find the drain or performance leak...but yea im running a clean flashed v6 with adaway and it's back to 11 lol

I swear I have the worst luck with this device. This is a weird bug just wanted to put it out there for some help before I Odin back stock & start fresh.

For some reason my recents key gets toggled like every 10 or so seconds without me to touching it. Lol so frustrating.

I have had the same setup for a long time. Only xposed mods are youtube adaway and 1 or 2 Wanam mods that's have caused me zero issues.

Nothing new installed. Like I said same setup for a long time.

I wiped both cache but it's still happening lol.

Any thoughts mega or community?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
And it just started out of the blue?

Have you dropped your note? And does it occur on a specific cycle? Like every 10 seconds on the dot or every 12 seconds ect? Cuz imo I would lean more toward it being a physical display issue with the touch panel maybe from a drop or dirty...the latter would be a possible corruption or conflict in the fw...Yea this is another one I've never come across in my years deving lol
