For sure...and like I said for what the x is its fine...in a vacuum...but when you can buy a brand new n4 for about 100 bucks more than the x...and flash nearly the same generic aosp on it if that's your thing...the body of a device is otherwise irrelevant once your strip the quality hw and software additions away

That's my consideration...for in car terms...5 grand you can step up from a dodge muscle car to a Italian super car...they serve different purposes but considering dollar for dollar when you are taking several steps back going to the x...from features to raw hw and battery size...a 100 or even 150 dollar difference is a pretty narrow gap imo

Dude then flash an aosp port if your having such an issue with touchwiz or pr performance man and you already have a moto x with a better screen and bigger battery lol

I have owned both devices also, then came time when I realized I had to choose one. The nexus 6 to me was useless in terms. It has a 6 inch screen. sweet. It has Vanilla android. Initiate the "Touch Wiz Lag" circle jerk here. I'd rather take the "lag" with the abundant features. People say "TouchWiz" like it's a plague or a cancer that has nothing better to offer. No. I enjoy being able to have open 4 windows at a time to be able to take advantage of my screen real-estate. I enjoy having a download booster when I need it. Also a side panel for the extra touches on the side of the large phone. I also enjoy things like "private mode" where I can give my phone to people without worrying they look through my gallery, or that one aunt that always asks to see a picture then scrolls to see if there is more *sigh*. Touch Sensitivity? Works wonders. I can wear gloves (I live in the North) and still be able to use my phone. Something no other phone can do (that doesn't have touchwiz) and that problem can only be resolved by buying stupid bulky "specialized" phone gloves. Being able to change my volume to certain specifics is not something I congratulate touchwiz of, it's something I laugh at people on stock android for crying about, not being able to change media, phone, system, and ringtone volumes? I'd take that functionality over .01 seconds of lag any day. At the end of the day, I enjoyed my Nexus 6 for watching media, and nothing else, because I would have a big 6 inch block on my screen, while most apps weren't even optimized to use the 6 inch real estate. I do agree Vanilla android is "smoother and faster" but I'd sacrifice some speed for the extra features that are implemented. Now with this said, the Note 4 is also my last Samsung phone until TouchWiz is scaled down, the feature can be kept but the extra stuff that no one needs (and I mean no one) needs to either be made optionally downloadable through the play store, or removed all together.

I'll go take a look. I swear I looked. thanks!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Product F(RED):
I'm not trying to crap on your ROM or anything dude. I know you've made the ROM(s) Samsung should have put out in the first place. You're doing amazing work. I'd flash an AOSP ROM, except they're all pretty much nightlies and/or have broken basic features. I'm criticizing Samsung, not you. They need to work on better bases and stop leaving out updates for us just because we're not on the newest phone.

As for the Nexus 6, I find it too bare software-wise (and honestly too big for my tastes). 5.5-5.7" for me is the sweet spot. I know you'd rather have a 6". I also find stock Android too bare. Coming from someone who has owned a Moto X, I'm telling you, Motorola adds just the right amount of useful features. It's basically what stock Android should be.

Samsung needs to:

- Strip down Touchwiz to just useful features (it's debateable, but in general there's stuff in there we'll probably never use)

- Put their apps on the Play Store and get rid of Galaxy Apps, like HTC and Motorola are doing

- Optimize for performance and battery life

I can live without stock Android on my Samsung devices. It just happens to be that Touchwiz is among the heaviest-hitting skins.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cd85233:
Actually I had seen that in did it in v6 with no help. I'll add it to v7 and see what happens.

Also, Any idea why I get a notification at the bottom sometimes when i get an sms. It saying something about, "invoke...null reference."

Thanks again!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xShivp:
This I can agree with. I feel the features can be put into the play store also along with Galaxy Apps.

But one thing I haven't seen Samsung do yet which I just saw HTC and Sony do, is abuse the push notifications by placing ads. HTC just got caught putting any ads there that are based on your usage and what you search. Sony got caught putting up movie ads for a new movie.

The last thing I would want on my $1029 Note 4, is ADs. After paying for such a premium device and seeing a single ad coming INTO the software from the manufacturer itself I would flip s***. Super glad that Samsung doesn't do this, because this probably affects the speed of things also and the fact that your data is used to pull these ads, along with push notifications being forced on.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I don't think anyone would argue or disagree that every manufacturer should optimize their stock roms that's just a given...but this isn't something specific to samsung they all put out generic unoptimized builds...it's just the bare bones devices have less features and software to deal with...it's not like lenovo is any better than huawei or lg or samsung they're all doing the same lazy generic bases build off Google unoptimized generic source I know from having developed for many of these devices over years...so that's why I think it's unfair to call out the most feature packed devices in Android ecosystem (lg as well) for having like a fraction of a second variance over stripped down stock devices when those very devices themselves should be even faster given the hw and limited software features...It'd be different if samsung was unique in their laziness but I've been critical of them all for the same thing and why I'm gonna go and curate builds for as many manufacturer devices as possible...they all need to optimize the builds and tailor the fw to the hw...they all need to maximize efficiency...then the feature set won't be turned into a penalty against a device for simply having more offered and available...it's the ploy they all use to force updates...samsung is not unique in the update cycle or not porting features...like its fair to call everyone out for it but as annoying as samsung can be they are not the exception to the rule here...

It'd be like if the shoe were on the other foot...I'd be on a nexus going man my transitions are slightly snappier but I wish I could sign this PDF with the s pen vs driving home to print the document...until they all optimize the builds or one company seriously starts this is essentially the position were in...

No never seen it... by the sounds of it you should probably odin stock and clean flash to sort out your setup and double check your apn settings...but otherwise Bluetooth is as it is on stock...there's no modifications to it

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Guys the thing I can't stress enough that I wanna get across...in this transitional period over the next few months...as we finish out the new Gen of devices, moving towards 2016 with android 5.1 updates looming and android m evenutually coming...it's crucial those of you kit kat or classic open custom android fans know that the kit kat golden era is ending...the next device you buy if a new Gen new model launching on 5.x will not have the ability to ever run 4.4.4 or below...you will always be on lollipop...

I know the experience and opinions have been widely varied and a lot of people have gone back and forth to fk or went back to stay since we've been on the new lp base...but that's why I keep stressing the fact note 4 is the end of that era and regardless what issues we have with note 5 and s6 or samsung in general the note 4 is still the best device out imo...

If you could find some other devices still on kk or thst have downgrade ability you may be able to pick up a g3 g pro 2 Htc m8 ect whatever you're into...as we're at a point where most people will have to put their money into one direction or the other more than likely...a kk compatible device probably with 801 or 805 that will still be flagship level for a couple years imo...or a lollipop based device with 808/810/exynos...so it's important that everyone interested in getting a device they can customize and enjoy the experience of kit kat i suggest looking into device from the n4 generation or just prior...

for those going the cutting edge hardware route with a newer device like note 5 or s6 edge plus, g4, Xperia ect, knowing the limitations of being on lp software and large unknowns for modifications and kit of future 5.x bases with things like like xposed...

so we are at a point where you'll have to account for not only the device you want but what kind of android do you want for the next year or few years...and has your lollipop experience been amazing enough that you could deal with the confines of the base...or are you someone that enjoys the freedom that a basically issue free thoughtless firekat setup gives you?

Some things to consider as a lot of us are considering picking up new devices for either dd or secondary kits

Yeah…i think it's safe to say that after this last ota 5.1.1 you might as well forget taking anymore because they will be totally locked down. Smh.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
That's only if it's possible to downgrade that back... otherwise I don't think I'm going to do the build... there's just not enough gained to strand people on a lollipop build for good ruining your note 4 experience in my opinion

I personally don't care to have 5.0 or 5.1 they're essentially identical...but for removing the kk option...just too far imo

Personally speaking, I'd have zero desire to go back to Kit Kat so that's not a deal breaker for me. I haven't been on it since flashing your ROM.

If we beg and plead on our hands and knees, will you build a 5.1.1 when it's available Mega? Lol ?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pstarkey001:
You could still do the build for those that already took the ota and still have fk for those who haven't. Just make it clear as to what to expect for those that are still on kk that might be thinking about updating. imo.

Been running the rom for a couple days now and I gotta say it's pretty solid. Haven't had a hiccup. I guess battery life is still settling in cus I only get 3 hours 30 minutes sot. But the one question I have is.... is there any way to get the notification light to be as bright as it is on aosp roms. On touchwiz roms it's ridiculously dim. Not visible during the day. Is this even possible is it a kernel thing? Anyway thanks mage for this great rom I used firekat for a few months and I gotta say this is just as solid. Battery life's just a little better on firekat. THANKS!!!

It all depends...ill prolly do the builds...but you guys are going off 1 sprint base 5.1.1 with mixed reviews that seemingly has no downgrade pretty fast lol...let's wait and see what even happens with tmo...i may do it separately or something in a new thread

Just consider once you go to that base it's essentially the end of the road for your note...and given its doubtful well see an update after but possibly android m sometime next summer or fall you better like re flashing that 1 build as there's a high likelihood not only kk but 5.0 builds will not run so that'll cut out all but a handful of options indefinitely if it does so let's wait until we get the build and info to see what our situation is when it drops an go from there lmao

Thank you so much man. I really appreciate the interacting you have with us. And yes if you ever used aosp based roms the notification light is super bright. If you'll look into that I'd really appreciate it. I know you'll be the first one to do something about it on twiz roms. Light flow just let's you customize the colors not the brightness of it. I'm pretty sure there a little more to it than just an app. Thanks again and looking foward to updates from you. ?
