Because they want to be able to jack up the prices to get extra int storage and when the battery evetually goes either

A pay a ridiculous fee to have it replaced

Or

B buy a new samsung device.

They are getting to be as shady as apple

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Dude I never even thought about charging to swap it out...I was only thinking of the battery itself since I bought that n4 one the other day...they'll charge for opening a sealed unit I'm sure as well...damn never considered that only the 10 days without your device at a time...that's would be so shady man...sad thing is I can easily see that becoming the norm

Actually its a basic app. I reverted back to stock LP and ran debug with same code. It runs fine. I installed Poprocks and it failed debugging. I installed Firekat and it works fine again. I am trying to nail down the cause.

Will you be able to try running and debug from android studio on yours? Want to check if that's problem with my way of approach or just something else causing this break.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Maybe if I have time to mess with it over this weekend...

pm me this app development stuff your trying to sort out... because I'm confused even following what your trying to explain at times let alone people coming in and out and I don't cause any confusion in the thread...thanks

I mean we've pretty much plateau'd in the performance department. I don't need anything more than what the Note 4 offers. Not saying I don't want a faster device, but really it has the horsepower. It would perform better if Touchwiz was actually optimized (or if you ran AOSP, but obv some stuff is gonna be broken/half-quality like camera). Once we hit the Snapdragon 800 (Note 3, Nexus 5, etc), we reached a new era of Android phones.

Hell, if my Note 4 broke right now, I'd have little to no problem using my Note 3 again. It's still that fast. I picked up the Note 4 for the camera quality, metal, and LTE Band 12 (other reasons too, but mostly those). I came from the Note 3 N900T before this. We had Note 4 Lollipop ROMs that ran exactly the same as the real thing and even the normal 5.0.1 update (which btw we got months before you guys) ran fine aside from Samsung didn't update everything (like the camera was still the one from KitKat).
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea touchwiz def needs optimized...but honestly force has poprocks on both n4 and n6 and alot of the same issues exist in both as a lot of the problems stem from the source itself...google needs to optimize the base and start advancing android again...they've largely tethemed it over the last few bases...the os is a large part of the bottleneck...

The hw is pretty overpowered already for sure... id love to see if they would both actually work on the software they could drastically improve even older devices thru some simple optimizations and refinements at a source and sub system level...I dont get it...for lp to be so much less efficient than 4.4.4 which is extremely similar...I really don't get it...but what annoys the hell out of me is then they try cutting us out from running roms or mods that remove the bs issues they leave us with that's where in like wtf pick one or the other...make the device run properly for me or allow me to do it without crippling security getting in the way...it's the annoyance I've had since starting pr and seeing how much hype was promised and how little was delivered

Added...Yea man I 100% agree the 800 on marked a different breed of animal for powering these beasts...i still use my n3 basically every day it's fantastic...but that is another great frustration I have with all these manufacturers...they NEVER incorporate options device to device and that is bs imo...the n3 should def have gotten actual feature updates from either n4 or theme updates from s5 or s6 imo...that's so greedy when it's literally a dpi shift and side load most of those apps...

Hi Mega,

I love that the rom and stock and I get to start fresh using the Canadian baseband and not the Tmob one.

I have one problem and Im at my witts end and its with the samsung link error. I tried to replace it but it wont let me do it. I think something wrong with my superuser app cause its not granting access. I need a working phone and I dont want to use another rom. How can i get around this because my music app wont work unless this is solved.

I also followed all your directs as to flashing stock first and all that jazz. I made sure I did my part before asking for help.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
A few options...disable link in app manager...update link in galaxy app store...or try disabling sharing in your gallery...its a weird fluke reported in like all the Canadian builds idk why lol lp...glad you're enjoying the roms...hope you enjoy the new note

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
Say this is the last amazing device by Samsung, the least they can do is deliver a final base for the phone that will be able to match the hardware capabilities as well as the efficiency of it. PopRocks is already hitting the hardware capabilities but at the expense of the battery efficiency. We need them to deliver even just one final but balanced base that on stock would run without issues and with development? Flawlessly. That would satisfy me for the next 2 years at a minimum since the device hardware csn definitely keep for that duration.

Hi, been running this ROM for a week now and I'm super impressed with the stability. I've run the note 4 since day one, kit kat was running super stable for me, so I never ran a custom rom at first, but after Stock lollipop was a disaster in terms of stability I moved to tekhd and now to this rom... and in lollipop I always had stability issues and overheating, especially since I have the Gear S and also the Gear VR, so I end up with a ton of extra services and applications running. I don't game heavily, but I do a lot of multitasking.

PopRocks is running like a champ though despite my heavy usage. (I can even transfer ~3-4GB files over wifi without crashing the device!)

Anyways, I'm prompted to post because I saw some users complaining about heat:

First of all, poprocks really isn't pushing out that much heat compared to some other roms/kernels that are around that are super optimized for ultra performance all the time. For me though, the GearVR tends to make the device run hot, pushed up against your head, which will alert if it gets too hot; and I also end up using my phone in a hot car a lot in direct sunlight, and the mobile hotspot heats things up nicely too. so I wanted to share what I tend to do to keep things nice and cool:

I simply bump the clock speeds back down from 2.7 to 2.5 max in synapse, apply a small -25mv undervolt (almost all phones can handle this level of voltage reduction). (you can also enable intelliplug with eco mode if you really want to save some battery life)

The phone runs nice and cool with these settings, and if you don't run anything super intensive, but multitask a lot, you literally won't miss the measly 200mhz.

Relatively, It takes a lot of power to reach the 2.7ghz range on these devices vs a more comfortable 2.3-2.5.

Long explanation continues below (feel free to skip if you are not interested):

In fact, Qualcomm will develop the silicon and give a recommendation on clock speed, and samsung tends to push it to the absolute limit and ends up binning a lot of chips to make sure they can hit that 2.7ghz speed, mostly so in the reviews, it scores well on all the benchmarks. However, the chip may actually reach optimum efficiency at slightly lower clocks. You might use twice the power just from operating at 2.7ghz vs 2.0ghz... Anyways.... I know most users are way more interested in going the other way.... (overclocking for maximum performance) but just keep in mind if you have different priorities, there are a lot of benefits to be found from undervolting and underclocking.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Thanks for the great feedback and info man...def glad it's running well for you and you're enjoying pr man...yea i love my gear s as well they're sick...but I ask everyone that has one cuz im hella tempted to pick one up...

How has your gear vr experience been? Do you like it? I haven't gotten the chance to see one in person yet so I have hesitated from ordering one but the more I see about it the better it looks...super interested in that thing lol love the concept and possibilities

Do you guys know what dpi we run?

On my note 4 that I'm returning to tmo tomorrow I flashed slim rom 5.1.1 and it's absolutely stunning. Makes touchwiz look like a child's cartoon.

We lose to much functionality worth aosp but damn it's nice as hell.

Slim runs 520dpi and it looks perfect for our device
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cbutters:
Gear VR has been really interesting... I had played around with Google Cardboard before which was pretty cool, but when I got the Gear VR it was jaw dropping... the head tracking is so precise... you can literally tilt and shake your head around and what is on the screen adapts so quickly (especially compared to cardboard) there is virtually no latency, so it ends up being incredibly lifelike. The 3D is not like what you have when you go to a 3d Movie either... there are no residual images or weird flickering... each eye sees its own little portion of the screen so the 3D effect can literally be perfect (assuming they eventually increase the resolution enough)

The most surreal experience I had on the device initially was just sitting in the seats of the mocked up VR movie theatre watching movie previews, and the light was reflecting so lifelike as it came off the screen, and you look around and literally felt like you were in a movie theatre and you could stand up and go walk out the exit doors.

So I got the Gear VR right when it came out; played all the tech demos in one afternoon and if you would have asked me then if it was worth it, I would have said its really cool, but not worth 200 because there wasn't nearly enough content.

I showed it to everyone in my family /friends, all were super impressed, but then moved, so I set it down for a few months.

Fast-forward to now; I started playing with it again a month ago and I was surprised! There are tons of games and experiences on the oculus store, probably 30x more content than that initial launch... VR is really catching on. There are now VR podcasts in MilkVR, tons of games, lots of cool experiences in there.

The most recent mind blowing experience on there was the Jurassic world "Apatosaurus" demo.. It puts you in front of a dinosaur, that gets up on its hinds legs to eat and you almost get trampled by it and it is actually super incredible, you can't help but flinch and move out of the way. My wife was incredibly impressed.

I would totally pick up the GearVR again at this point... especially since it looks like the Note 5 won't have a higher resolution display than the note 4.... so the experience won't be any better on a new GearVR version (if they even release it)

So downsides are:

Lenses tend to fog up....

Its not comfortable to wear for long periods of time

screen door effect is visible, but there is no way around that until we get 4k displays... (although its much better than even some of the oculus rift models)

expensive...

my recommendation would be to snag one off of ebay at a discount.... then sell it if a new version comes out or if you want to get the htc one early 2016. It really is worth it!

Has anyone tried to overclock this ROM yet? If so, what kernel did you use? I just installed this rom and find it to be a little slow. Its stable and runs great but I want to boost it a little. Im coming from an AOSP 5.1.1 rom that was OC'ed.

Anyway, thanks.

One you download adaway from fdroid. Back it up with Titanium Backup. I know it's frowned upon by quite a few people but I was having throttled data so I tried it. If you restore adaway with titanium backup WITHOUT data,it doesn't cause any issues. I've found as long as it's not a system app I can get away with no data restores. I haven't noticed ANY negative affects...yet. I am I no way saying you should do this just giving my experience.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Kilroy672:
After I flashed V1 this past week. I did a titanium backup before I flashed. And after the flash and everything was set up, I went back to titanium backup to do the restore apps and data. My question is...how can I go about doing the restore without installing one app at a time? It took me maybe 20-30 min to complete. Is there a easier or faster way of doing so? I wanna try V2 tonight but don't want to spend all that time installing the apps and data.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
re: titanium backup restore

You need to get the pro key (paid app) for titanium backup.

With the pro key you can batch restore all your apps at the

same time without having to restore each app separately.

Here is the playstore direct download link for titanium backup pro key:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackupPro

Good luck!

That was basically my main hesitation was the quantity and quality of the material available...that's def a great turn around tho it sounds like they are putting alot of effort into making that the platform as far as mobile vr...and they def seem to be on the right track...Yea I agree about waiting for a possible upgraded model it's just so up in the air with note 5 and if the new one would fit n4...I think for me it makes sense to try an grab on for the n4 for a deal if possible...thanks again for all the extremely detailed information dude it def gave me alot to consider and seems like they've essentially solved my main concern of content...I have to say bar a few little annoyances with needing kernel on a rom or fluke issues within an app or something...the feedback has been nearly unanimous which is quite unusual lol

I would be running AOSP but finding a suitable camera replacement is impossible.

I know they are also working on the fingerprint scanner but nothing will likely happen until Android M.

Additionally on CM, they have not been able to activate all of the mics when recording a video. You can barely make out the audio.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Dude I would love to have a final note to sort of retire on...the downside of where we are with lp and whatever issues come down the road security wise...whatever hardware samsung deliver our hands are always gonna be somewhat tied just by virtue of having released on 5.1 or m or whatever...because unless things do change and 5.1.1 gets xposed for tw ect were already at the end of the road for that aspect of mods at least...roms hopefully will continue and old manual mods for as long as we can...but the hey day is gone...it'll be really how long can we continue getting recovery on a device and how long before they permapatch root ect...so I agree n5 Is our last shot even remotely to get some element of the old customszatiom for it but the note 4 is unfortunately the capstone to an amazing era of Android

Lol that's what I was thinking...there's so many themes and options available it just seems so far to me to go to remove the magic of a note for the look...

And trust me I am a huge fan of my beach theme...ive used it and wanam for several years...but I don't even use wanam right now cuz of xposed so the idea of say removing of gutting the camera, sound, call, and video qualities, the pen efficicny and stability ect for the look of my ui seems so extreme

I agree but a t the same time I am still staying rather hopeful for full development in the next coming years of android, atleast ROM development so the device can function the way it should for its hardware level :) Lets hope your words are not true Mega and that this era will continue! :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
As with lollipop and what I saw coming over a year ago and was trying to temper the hype down and warn everyone of...it's just lookin at the context of where we are now...even just picture buying a note 5 tomorrow and having the same issues as you do on pr would it be worth it on that side with no 4.4.4 fk fallback opt out?...

I'm as hopeful as anyone...probably more hopeful than most dev work continues because it's a passion hobby and somewhat I feel a right to do if they refuse to optimize my 800 dollar device... then i feel almost like they have to allow us to do it ourselves...

but you guys all know me well enough at this point I just wanna make sure people understand the actual position were in and that we are facing in the bigger picture overall because tbh most people don't ever even think of using the new device until they're holding it...only the hardware and stuff we normally chat about but in reality were gonna be in a particular box from the start releasing on probably android M...hopefully it's only live mods and they don't lock us out of roms and backups at a minimum Which i honestly doubt will happen that drastically I'm just warning that more security is almost guaranteed and recovery/poprocks n5 or campfiremarshmallow v6 lol may not be or may take weeks/months and have more finicky issues than even lp...just things to consider as we continue on discussing different hw and kits...

Added imo the option to have a fkn4 setup and a prn4 with similar size and specs for less money is what's really tempting me about another n4...and the black on is gorgeous so one of each lol
