Is there a guide on this forum?

From what I remember.. download mode, connect phone start odin. put in the file and dont touch anything else :p

When you say: You MUST ODIN STOCK LOLLIPOP BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO FLASH THIS ROM...NO MATTER WHAT...IF YOUR ON STOCK LP, A ROM, OR FK...unless upgrading from a previous PopRocks build you must odin the base...

Do I flash the COD6 firmware. then flash stock lollipop 5.0 and then flash your rom? I don't get it so I flash the stock lollipop then wipe it then flash yours again?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] force70:
Your not a nub you've been here since 2012!

Anyway theres guides for pretty much everything here if i remembered exactly where id link you but your going to need to search for it. But yeah download, use AP slot on odin 3.10.7 and start.

As mega said if i were you id wait and would be doing ALOT of reading before u flash anything.

The fact that you dont know COD6 is the stock lollipop 5.0 is a little scary dude.

Please take some advice and do the required reading until your up to speed..we dont want you bricking your device.

In a development thread your kind of expected to understand the basics of wiping/flashing and using odin...these generally are not meant to be how threads...theres tons of those!

Again just some friendly advice, other threads arent as easy going as this one and you would get roasted for even asking how use odin etc...

If you get really stuck PM someone who has been around awhile (like myself) and ask for help ....after you read up of course.

Wanted to share some information regarding Gear VR and PopRocks. This is still work in process, but I think Poprocks v14 work with Gear VR without any need for custom kernel. I'm saying think because I have not had time to do extensive testing. I had PopRocks v9 on my Note 4 and I couldn't get it to install the Gear VR and Occulus software. Kept getting the network error message, which in the past meant a problem with not having an updated Kernel. In KK I flashed AEL kernel and that fixed the problem. So I flashed Emotion kernel over v9 and it still didn't fix the network error problem. This morning I downloaded v14 and did a dirty flash over V9 and Emotion kernel. I checked and saw that Poprocks had overwritten the kernel and when I plugged my Note 4 into the Gear VR, to my surprise the Gear VR and Oculus SW was downloading. Still waiting for everything to set-up but I was able to login to my Oculus account. Can someone who has a Gear VR and is upgrading to V14 test this and see if it is V14 or the combination of Emotion + V14 dirty flash. It would be great to have one ROM that supports GearVR out of the box. ;)

---

Ok, things not going so well. Was able to finish installation, but when I plug in the N4 I'm not getting any 3D effect and at one point the whole screen was blank. Flashed over the emotion kernel again and hoping that fixes things. :(
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Dude you really really need to read up before flashing... Im totally open to helping out but like I said last night and force eloquently reiterated you have a phone that costs as much as a laptop in your hand... it's def better to read up and have no issues and have an awesome experience starting modding imo

No I don't have any guides that basic as this is the development section try the general threads maybe

Question to all you great people out there. What is the best choice in tablet right now keep debating getting one. I was looking at the note 12.2 pro as I love my N4 doesn't seem to be a lot of development for it tho.

The Tab S series looks pretty awesome too.. Any thoughts or better options maybe? Thanks in advance!!!

I fixed my play store issue by updating all google applications via play store and then rebooted my device as per Mega's advice. Usually google play store starts killing your battery when Google is pushing updates out so hence why you should update play store and reboot :)

I posted this in the FireKat thread but I thought I'd ask here as well since this thread is slightly more active for the time being :p I'm going to run a little bit off top here so I apologize in advance! If you were to buy a brand new note 4 where would you buy it from? Straight from a carrier and have it unlocked or risk it off ebay/kijiji etc? In case the note 5 is a flop I'd like to just buy myself a brand new note 4 device and sell my current one, Canadian or American variants :)

Also, anyone has a cool case suggestions for this bad as note 4? I'm using the spigen tough armor but I'd love to have an alternative as this case is very protective but scratched up bezel.

The thing you have to consider about an intl device is you won't get lte...and the n4 variant is out as it's got a locked bootloader...so really it's a matter of if you choose a new tmo/Canadian N4 or give up lte for the intl one ect...I personally would just wait and see...as n5 will drive n4 price down across the board...you'll be able to get a brand new n4 for around 450/500 in 6 months or so I'd just wait till n5 and decide as things progress personally...N4 will only continue to get cheaper and they won't run out lol no worries

My love of n12 is widely known...I ordered one the day it released...and raffled the one at Christmas...imo if you want a note tablet it's an amazing option...the tab s is also amazing gorgeous screen and similar overall feature/use case...i prefer to have an s pen with my tablets more so than my phone as I use the pen alot on the larger screens...really between the note pro/tab pro and S line you can't go wrong imo...really just depends I'd you want amoled or s pen and size

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Product F(RED):
All 64GB microSD card compatible devices can do a 2TB microSD card. They just say 2TB to sound impressive. Your Note 4 or even Note 3 can do it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I guess in a couple years when those cards even exist well come back and try it lol

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Product F(RED):
The reason that I say 64GB compatible devices is because you need exFAT, which is licensed from Microsoft, which makes devices more expensive. That's why you sometimes see low or mid range devices that say "up to 32GB" for microSD. It means that the manufacturer didn't pay for exFAT support and the phone can only do FAT32. FAT32 is actually fine, and you can use a 64GB with FAT32 if you format it that way, but it has a 4GB-per-file size limit. So you can't, for example, record a 4K video because the file will probably be above 4GB (if you record for the same amount of time you'd record a 1080p video) and the camera app will cut off the video because it can't save more than 4GB. The exFAT file system doesn't have that limitation and it's just newer and more optimized for mobile smartphone usage.

They use "2TB" as a marketing example to make the phone sound super advanced.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol yep total shady marketing hype

Hoping 2016 is the year for us. 2015 has been an utterly sh*t year for smartphones with only a good handfuls and most flagships were let downs and only had give or take one more feature than a 400$ moto x or one plus one. Hoping in 2016 sammy gets their stuff together, apple stops trying to sell gimmicks for people to upgrade from their old 800$ devices, HTC gets their camera hardware and software to be better, Lg needs to learn how to put better processors into phones, and when a mistake is made in the market they need to man up and control the market and not let the market control them.

But yeah my contract ends in 2016 along with many others that bought a note 4 on contract and Android feels so deeply halfassed not only by google but by application developers, for the first time I'll be looking at the comparisons of the iPhone 7(s).
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Pick_A_Name:
Personally Apple doesn't even come into the picture. ITunes is crap and everything is way too locked down. I agree with this year's phones. I would be willing to buy one of they were a real upgrade from the n4. But none have accomplished that do I'm happily staying here until such time.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xShivp:
I know it is very locked down and simplified for their marketing towards people that just want their phone to work. However, they also having largest unifying messaging system to date. iMessage integration with SMS is godly, Facetime is just as nice. Then we look at Android and think of reasons why something similar to iMessage isn't available in terms of simplicity and unification, and there aren't any. Hangouts existed long before iMessage and like I said in my previous post, it feels halfassed. It isn't unified, it doesn't automatically change between data and sms, it just doesn't work well and the only thing it has on iMessage is cross platform integration.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I'm with pan about not a real option... But I totally agree that Google especially completely halfasses everything... I mean they literally abandoned development of 5.1 and never completed project volta announcing they'd offer it in 6...seriousky after hyping lp for almost 2 years strait... They also promised a major overhaul instead they modded dalvik run time into art on boot and themed bits of it differently... Google Apps drain more battery than any other apps or service I've ever seen, their camera software is terrible still... Then there's Google Glass... Thats dead and a punchline for a lot of people...or Google cardboard... And the list goes on...search is the only thing I think they excell at personally...

Then add the manufacturer laziness and unwillingness to ever refine the builds any significant way while blocking us out as much as possible... It'd hella annoying man... This was one of the worst years in my time on Android even if the 810 ran great... Nothing was really impressive over their previous years counterpart imo... Super lazy and greedy year for a lot of the manufacturers

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Ilkinansr92:
I just got myself iPhone 6s plus and honestly its pretty great. The softwate is very refined, smooth n quick. Virtually i have no drain with bunch of apps installed. Yes some things are not very customizable and seem better on android but it all changes with jailbreak. It opens up the whole new word. And looking at the direction android is going, i think its a lot more likely iphone will be jailbroken before we get root or bootloader unlock. So personally im trying it out and if i dont like it just sell it n get something else i guess.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Pick_A_Name:
I guess I should check out what can be done with jailbreaking. I had the first two iPhones and iTunes and not being able to just add a song without wiping everything was just a bridge too far. I just got my wife a new Samsung tablet because her iPad always pissed me off trying to do anything. Do right now I'm trying to figure out how to get her pictures off. The only easy I see is to email them, which doesn't really work for hundreds of pics. Dropbox doesn't work on iOS the easy it does on Android. That frustration makes me not want to give my money to Apple. Oh and the fact that their phone is so much larger for a smaller screen than my n4. I guess that's why I'm glad we all have a choice.
