It's just a crap situation because as frustrated as i am about note 5 and def not getting one...i will prolly end up getting another device of some type...but ill almost certainly continue carrying n4 as my dd for the features and camera..even though I'd prefer a 6 inch phone Idk if I could give up everything I've used for years on the notes to go stock Android as I just don't like the look or stripped down phones and software...and I've always enjoyed touchwiz and was a fan of features and camera that's why I worked to make it better...unfortunately there still is nothing I've seen that beats the n4 as we have it coming out ....it sucks on the side of wanting a new toy...but I buy my devices based on what they do and how they perform for me...and I really don't need anything else than n4 so it's Def a crap situation given the prices were talking for the possibility of buying a new flagship backup phone...between note 5 and qualcomm chips tanking this year sucks for mobile

Yeah, in the end were the ones hurting. No other manufacturers have the spen or great cameras like the note/Samsung series has. Then when you look at other manufacturers I have definitely seen some great devices from manufacturers like Huawei but then issues of brand and their support come into play. Will they fix issues as fast as a large company like Samsung? Will they have the excellent devs like a large manufacturer like Samsung ultimately were going to have to give up something to get what we want. It sucks all around. And your right I’m done with running out and buying the next flagship when prices drop like a rock months after. I bought the Note 4 for $800 off contract so I’m skipping the Note 5 anyway. Hopefully by the time the Note 6 comes out they will have fixed their issues.

Planned obsolescence...sounds familiar doesn't it...??

What is another brand of phone that has so much dev support besides Samsung? When I got into XDA I still had an S3 and never bothered to actually look at the other phones and just thought that every phone had the same amount of support. I was totally wrong and realized soon after, most phones don't have nearly anywhere close to what attention Samsung phones got. Does anyone know of any? I would like my next phone to be an Xperia but I want to make sure I still can have help from the developer community at XDA with their creations.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
There really isn't...that's a big reason I'm doing the new server and community...I'm gonna basically go manufacturer device to device building up to date builds for as many devices that can be flashed to have a pr or fk level build for basically anything with recovery...until now I built my devices and basically on request but I see where androids going and wanna curate mainly current and a Gen back because imo they're still flagship level and easily could be dd given a proper build in addition to new devices that come along

For those thinking you are rooting 5.1.1, you are not. All you are doing is flashing a ROM that is Android 5.0.1 and rooting. This is pretty much just downgrading the Android version and will not have any of the new features that came with 5.1.1. Only thing your on is the OG5 baseband.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Wait what's up stark? Is there something up with the sprint update? I saw it was just a few bug fixes, the overhyped Stagefright patch, and "some minor performance updates lol"

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Product F(RED):
Well, the Moto X Pure Edition/Style (same phone, 2 different names for different markets) was rated as #2, behind the Galaxy S6 and above the iPhone 6/6 Plus. So we got camera down. QuickCharge is even faster than the S6; my only concern is swapping out the battery when it starts holding less of a charge. MicroSD? I'm getting the 64GB Moto X Pure and setting Redirect File Organizer Pro to copy everything to it every night when I'm not using my phone (backup, in other words).

Honestly, I'm so burnt out by Samsung. I'm not going back to them until they completely reinvent themselves like Motorola did. I've owned:

- S1

- S2 (Epic 4G Touch on Sprint)

- Nexus S (doesn't count)

- Galaxy Nexus 4G (doesn't count)

- S3 i9300 (International version w/Exynos)

- Note 2 x2

- S4 x2

- Note 3 x2

- Note 4

I owned a Moto X 2013 Dev Edition for a while and loved it except for battery life, tiny screen size, and camera. Gave it to my dad. Motorola warranty exchanged it for a Nexus 6 on the last day of warranty coverage. Looking forward to going back to Motorola; I firmly believe the 2015 Moto X is 90% perfect. Only thing I could've asked for was removable battery and an S-Pen equivalent. But they nailed everything else.

- QuickCharge 2.0

- Bands for almost every carrier in the world (this is amazing to me)

- Stock Android with useful additions (pure stock is too empty to me)

- Reasonable price ($399 for 16GB+microSD; usually $50 per increment)

- Premium build with nice materials (soft touch, wood, leather)

- Customization

- Actual support; Motorola phones even come with an app that lets you talk to CS from the phone

For me to go back to Samsung at this point, they would need to start over essentially. And they're not gonna do that because they're all about being Apple. That's their brand image. And it's sad. Even if you take that away, they're just a terrible OEM. Apple copy or not, they don't update their devices in a timely manner and make sure, like it was posted above, that you're a victim of planned obsolescence. Even the damn iPhone 4S runs iOS 8.1.3 right now.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I like the x but I have some of the same criticisms as I do with note 5...same 3000 maph battery, sealed in so not only efficiency but device life are an issue....with the 808 which hasn't shown to be super efficient for essentially the same performance as the 805...same size as note 4 but a tft screen vs amoled of last year's x or our n4...there's definitely things I like about it for the price...the sd slot and moto additions over stock...but coming from a 5.7 inch n4 to a 5.7 inch moto x seems a bit of a back step in several areas for me as we already have a more powerful device with a better screen camera and s pen currently...

so it's hard even being hella annoyed with samsung to dismiss what I have with my n4 when trying to fairly compare another device when trying to decide what to spend another 450 to 800 on...and tbh it's similar across the board with a lot of devices vs the note 4...it's gonna be extremely hard not to be a step back...subjective feelings aside

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] force70:
I agree but for the money the x is a lot of device.

I think for you and I the real prize with potential will be the G4 pro. I am going to be really pissed if they don't offer an unlock for the BL I will say that right now!

Sent from my Nexus 6 or Note 4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I totally agree...and I don't discount the x for a minute especially for the money tbh...but it's like sitting in a Ferrari looking at a dodge viper next to you and saying...it's almost as quick and almost as this and that as what I'm already driving so why trade it or throw on the added expense of buying it when I prolly would never drive it over my ferrari given the similarity but important differences where it matters...so it's hard to imagine trading my car in for it is all...had it been 6 inches with sd and moto skin all day long bro...but not the n4 size again

I'll be so pissed dude as I'm basically banking on g pro 3/g4 pro at this point to even be an option for a new/difference device...i already decided to grab another new n4 because watching the way things are headed I wanna make sure I have a few more years on a device i love that does what I actually wanna do...one last hoorah of the classic android we all love

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] force70:
I'll never get rid of my N4...it may well be the last "real" device samsung makes. Well until their sales tank even more and they pull their heads out of their you know what lol.

I can get a red g flex 2 here for about 400ish... There are so many damn models its gets confusing...i think the one I saw was an H959...seriously debating it

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I have been dying to see what a rom could do to the 810...obviously it won't correct the architecture issue but I think just going off the temperature difference of pr vs stock lp...it would at least make it a usable device aside from running stupid benchmarks ...it's so gorgeous imo I love the red

And i actually like the x for what it's going for...but that's the only point I was trying to make is everything compared to n4 seems like a backup device still a year later...and I can't really give a free pass to one device cuz another device was expected to be better when they have similar issues...and given well never see another 4.4.4 open boot device that means well always be anchored to lp/m a semi gimped android given our station now as is on 5.0...it's just food for thought I want people to consider the entire context when your talking this kinds money plus service cost and how much us here are into the experience...esp since the frustration and dissapointment def have clouded my view of things a lot I can't lie

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] naruto.ninjakid:
Honestly I want a bigger device. I was extremely jealous that Motorola beat Samsung at their own game with the Nexus 6 screen size. It’s sad to see they never increase the size. I also don’t like that the screen is narrower than the note 2 was. I like the screen to have both width and size. I found that on the note 4 the screen is narrower so it takes away from the device slightly for me. 6 inches would be perfect. Samsung also usually brings the heat with their specs while other manufacturers don’t all the time. The note 5 should definitely have USB-C since even a startup like one plus has it now.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
That's funny you said that...my ultimate dream note is that they would offer another 16:10 reso screen like note 1...a 6.2 or 6.3 inch 16:10 2560×1600 screen would be the ultimate for me...I always thought It made more sense to have a wider screen to use the pen as well..but it happily forgo 16:10 for a 6+ which to be honest I figured was just a given 2 years ago....still waiting....I mean you'd have thought after 3 striat notes of 5.55..5.7... 5.7...someone in their team would've went...uh guys the screen size battery size sd and pen are our only features...and we're losing all but the pen...

Honestly, I'll take the jump. Supposedly 5.1.1 is MUCH smoother. 5.0.x in general is terrible (aside from your ROM). Besides, you can still run old ROMs even if you're on the latest bootloader/modem.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
You can't run kk builds on the lp base wherein lays the issue...cuz if by updating the boot to run the new base when we get it removes downgrading via Odin back to kk...from my work on aosp 5.1.1 very little changed or updated...I just can't see it being worth it unless Samsung do magic in all honesty.. cuz the pr nexus is built off the 2nd to last 5.1.1 build there is...which is why I'm really hesitating with this situation...otherwise I wouldn't care to be on poprocks 5.0 or 5.1 as they're basically identical bases

we have a fully functional custom 4.4.4 setup available to freely come and go to while we don't know if the issues with modding lp and xpoded will ever be fully sorted or stable at this point...just a crap situation....I'd be so pissed if they block reverting back via Odin

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Product F(RED):
Wth, it used to be the case that when you Odin'd the latest firmware (bootloader, modem, etc), you could still flash back just an older ROM based on an older base. That might have been a few phones back.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
In alot of circumstances we can...tyocially bar security issues which lp is filled with or a locked boot you can usually go back 1 base or so or to an equivalent compatible boot/baseband/md5 key and they'll run alright...but like this base 5.0 and kk odin is a must...and when we update to a second boot of lp...then we will only have the possibility of running 5.0 since this will be the previous base and no one wants it...the other issue is all the hype about stagefright they may have keyed the boot to block even the previous down boot...but either in almost all likelihood if you go 5.1 you'll lost the option to go 4.4.4...and for me lp is fine for what it is...but having used 5.1.1 on nexus and an s6...I'd much rather have the option to go back to the awesome 4.4.4 open free base and have pr as we have it now which I have to say runs fantastic for me man I have very few issues with v7 other than the principle of the quality the base...I'd prefer that than a 5.0 and 5.1 pr that are basically identical...that's why I'm putting it out there so people don't blindly walk into the update in case...as the likelihood is extremely high there's no going back to 4.4.4. from 5.1 and I don't want anyone blindsided especially with everything else going on

Is there a reason that unrooting this ROM won't work? If I do full unroot with SU once I have it as I like it, the phone refuses to boot... just stays on the T-Mobile white screen.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No there shouldn't be...i know a couple guys who flash it then unroot to get around their checks for work but get the benefits of the rom...obviously you don't wanna enable anything via root then pull out

Boot into twrp and wipe cache and dalvik see if that kicks it in

I'm looking at the possibility of buying another Note 4 or going for the new Moto as well and see your logic using your illustration but I counter this: If I have a ferrari and look to my side and see a viper I think I'd buy the viper and have both a ferrari and a viper vs 2 identical ferraris. That way I would have a little different fun every time I took one of them for a spin. My ferrari would still be my goto vehicle but I'd also love to spin the wheels on the viper every so often. :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Product F(RED):
The way I see the current state of Samsung phones is: We have Ferraris, but they're carrying 2000 lbs of garbage (Touchwiz), have worn tires, and a messed up engine. Vs the Moto X is a factory new Viper with 0 issues (stock Android).
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xShivp:
0 Issues is not something that I would call it. Where is the Wireless Charging? How about the IR Blaster? The 3,000 mAh non removable battery vs the 3220 mAh removable battery? That's like having a car that you can only have until the something happens to the wheel and you can't change it, so the whole car is trash. Batteries are the biggest thing that go wrong on any phone (without external problems like dropping your phone and cracking the screen) and just having the ability to switch the battery after it starts losing juice is power to keep your phone alive longer.

Btw American "sports cars" are nothing compared to the foreign side of exotic cars. All-in-All, if your racing for 3 seconds on a straight path, go ahead and take the American "Muscle" else - the Nissan GTR or Ferrari, or Lambo will kick its bum. At this point, I think a Tesla is the only American car manufacturer which I like, and would take it over a dodge viper or a Camaro any day.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cd85233:
Mega,

This happens to me on a daily basis but I re-insert the battery and I'm good to go. It seems to be 100% tied to BT since it happens when I get in my car. Any help on this? What files can I provide to help? I really like this rom minus that issue. Also this happened on v6 and v7 but not when I had firekat.

1. I favor foreign cars generally, especially when it comes to higher end vehicles. I'm merely going on with the initial example.

2. I'm not comparing Note 4 vs. Moto X; I'm comparing it mainly to the Note 5/S6. That being said, I'm talking about software. The Note 4 and Nexus 6 have mainly the same core specs, and yet Touchwiz makes the Note 4 lag and stutter while doing anything, compared to the buttery smooth Nexus 6. And I would know because I have both devices. As I said before, I've owned all major Samsung devices from the Galaxy S to the Note 4 (skipped S5 and S6, but have used them extensively), and I'm not going to accept their BS anymore. They go out of their way to make your devices obsolete.
