Haha nice [emoji106] ...tbh I never payed them much attention either until recently...i change the one on mt n12 and realized how bad they get that kind of sticky feeling..where they kind of stick in spots and grip too much like rubber...a fresh (i prefer the white tip) one there writes and scrolls like butter...i would say maybe every 6 months would be prime...this is my first swap on n4 when did out phone come out...Oct so it's been 9 months give or take...they hold up pretty well I gotta say...enjoy

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MrAwesome75:
Yeah, I actually did swap mine out but it was right when I got the phone so I could have a white tip on my black S Pen. So it has been a while.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
The other color for my set with my white note is a sort of grey...and they feel harder or something weird...Def feel different on the screen to me than the white ones

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xShivp:
Yeah, I was told by an illegitimate dude who I would never take advice from, that the different type colors are actually for different screen protectors and stuff, because sometimes with some screen protectors the stock tips weren't that best option. I still don't believe him and haven't tried it, but it can seem reasonable.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Hahaha yea I mean I never considered that option lol...that's serious forethought haha...i figured it was for preference of the way each feels when writing? Cuz all my notes after note 2 with replaceable tips has multiple colors which vary slightly in texture...so that's what I always assume it was say those who prefer a "glass" feel would use the harder plastic grey and the smooth spongy kind of hard to describe lol feel of the white for others

The glass vs plastic protectors assumes alot of things...that people buy and use a protector...swap the tip and match that style lol...samsung are good but man that's almost a tailored suite haha...honestly the idea isn't a stupid concept but if the person in context with the extraordinary thoughtfulness of samsung in that situation don't jive I tend to trust your gut lol

Sorry feel may not be the best word just not sure how you would say the feedback maybe? Of the pen to glass...?

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xShivp:
Exactly, I didn't think Samsung would go to such extra lengths for something as minuscule as a screen protector. I don't even use one on mine and I was happy finding out the note 4 was a device that got the Gorilla Glass 4 before it was even out into the market and offered to other phones.

I flashed V7 (finally) on my note 4 last night, and the only problem that arose was when opening the dialer app, it would bring me to the phone dialer, but after pressing any 3 numbers, it crashes. Every time. "Contacts has stopped". Another thing that happens is when I go to the "Logs" tab it comes up blank then says "Phone has stopped" but the app stays open, unlike the dailer which closes.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Did you freeze anything I'm the system?...i haven't heard of anything similar...there's nothing that would punt either apk...clean flash?

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xShivp:
I actually don't use any apps that freeze anything, but I will clean flash. Would you suggest odin(ing) the stock or just a clean v7 flash?

Edit: I'm an idiot, the idea of freezing apps made me go look in my disabled list and I saw "LogsProvider" and I undisabled it, rebooted and it works fine now. I've never disabled it before and I think it may have just slipped through my mind when I was disabling apps at 4:30 in the morning yesterday. Thanks dude!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Haha no problem man

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
So as most of you guys know I've been working on a bunch of kit for us...a mainly ad native ad blocking and this...a mainly direct mod to Google Play services apk to cut nlp and the various scheduler wake locks that run rampant thousands of times every few hours...so then these preliminary results look pretty compelling...still working on the mod before I post it...but it should easily give you back 10% minimum to each charge....realistically closer to 15 20% increase by reducing play services drain and no apparent side effects to note but a quicker more efficient mega that I'm testing it on ...psyched lol...will keep you guys posted...

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DarqAnshin:
Well as far as I'm concerned... you are my go to ROM guy. I've fixed the issue (there is still one there with the light sensor and such), but it will last till I get a new phone. As for me, I was personally upset about the Locked Battery (I swap) and the no SD Card, but the more I think about it the more I am ok with the battery/no SD Card. This is only because as of late, with your ROM I have only had to swap the battery once while I was out in the field and since then haven't really had a problem that couldn't be rectified with a quick charge. As for the SD card, I was going to upgrade for a 64gb version and have yet to fill a card/ phone, so it hasn't been loss yet.

When you do decide let me know, if I have extra money at the time I would like to donate towards you getting your phone to assist with the development of your rom. A PM will do since you have the donate button there

Thanks for all of your work!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Thanks alot dude i def appreciate that man...i know what you're saying about the battery as i don't swap on the fly...and I doubt many guys on v6 or v7 probably ever need to...where it's a big deal for me...is i just bought a new battery that's substantially more efficient than my original one is...so even just in 9 months my battery has lost about 15% of the juice it had...not being able to swap that is where in my mind it creates am expiration date for the device rather than the battery...i def will keep you guys up to date on the device I go to...and thats much appreciated man....check this out instead and let me know if you like the sound of it lol [emoji106] it's always appreciated man

All my games are laggy, even 2D games, benchmarks gave me super low scores, what could be the problem?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Xposed...or another mod crushing the system similarly...clean flash

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jonyolea:
Did clean flash, I even left my phone resting for 30 min before starting using it and installing my apps, I guess I'll do clean install again, thanks man,

Well if you installed xposed it doesn't matter what you do its gonna kill your performance...see op2

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xShivp:
Actually Sprint came with everything in the box, including the headphones, I think it was ATNT that jacked the headphones and something else which I forgot 9 months after the release :p
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jonyolea:
Well, I didn't installed xposed, I don't know what could be the issue, I might just do a clean install again, what if I do factory reset? It would help?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Odin always your best bet and a clean flash following the op/op2

Att always jack the headphones and the og box lol stupid jerks haha

Doesn't mean that one of the employees at the sprint store didn't jack them. I didn't order it. I got it directly from store. ?

Yea I wanted to get the actual site built up more before saying anything in detail...I have a sick host name lol and I'm about 85% of the way with the site then it'll be adding the roms to the server...going back and redoing old roms up to date and uploading them...videos...advice about devices or setups ect.. I'm super excited about it...I figure if I'm already doing it full time...actually do it full time and do it right...will be posting all my hidden private builds which is a massive almost 300gb catalog I need full server for ect...so it's gonna be a pretty cool community hopefully that everyone's involved in...no breaking apart people in little groups by device I want a community...confined with our existing community here it should be awesome

Well besides donating for costs which is easy to do if i can help out with anything im all in. Of course I have no where near your skill level but would contribute whatever i can.

Dude i would love you and some of the other guys to be mods or admins for sure...honestly its gonna be less about the technical skills than building a community and compiling a single unified source of all my roms, plus just everything we've all learned and shared...but I want it to always remain community based and open...I don't want to make it another place where people feel uncomfortable coming to for help...I have friends who won't even join xda because of the reputation...I wanna basically bottle up this thread and carry it over a broader spectrum...while adding commentary help tips kit ect from myself and hopefully other skilled guys like yourself

Discussion of Sprint's 5.1.1 here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...-not-edge-stuff-performance-observations.html

Sounds like it's smoother and has a few new features and visual tweaks.

Someone on Android Police said "Confirmed. The multitasking menu loads so much faster now! Everything feels more snappier and as it should. Camera also loads faster as reported too. Now I hope the battery life is better but definitely the best version of the Note 4 so far."

Ive had Sprint roms working on my CAN devices in the past but it took ALOT of fiddling on others parts to get them working and it was never perfect.

Then again mega is in a diff league all together and builds for all variants so anything is possible.

Guys I have bad news...I just got off the phone with my good friend who works at sprint...they had a Samsung rep bring in s6 edge plus and note 5 developer units...unfortunately it's true...no SD card, sealed back, SMALLER 3000 maph hour battery, no auto s pen it's spring loaded so you push the bottom and it pops out...camera quality basically identical between the n4 s6 s6 plus and n5 since all use the same sensor...said the prerelease build of stock 5.1.1 was extremely slow vs prv6...seriously bummed...just wanted to pass on the news...unfortunate as it is...

The only beneficial change to s6 edge plus is they made the edge a mini launcher for all apps...ohhh wow...it's a 5.5 inch s6 edge you know what you're getting there...screw Samsung

I really don't understand it man...I don't get it...I honestly kept saying if this and that but didn't think they would actually follow thru after literally 6 months of backlash and bad sales...full retard is dead on dude hell they've gone past simple jack into another territory hahaha....I always like the notes cuz Imo they offered me the best device for the time or something different...lol successfully shredded those traits Samsung golf clap... donkeys ...I said to my buddy comparing our n4 to that n5...so literally same specs and hw but less functional...sign me up for that genius plan for another 800...wtf

Yea that's a great option esp for the price..nexus 6 for something larger if your into aosp...I'm looking forward to seeing what LG delivers with the pro 3 albeit will still be saddled with a snapdragon of some type...this year sucks for new phones...I would recommend a note 4 over note 5 for price and functionality for Samsung...there's really very little even to consider unfortunately...i really don't know what I'm doing because I was honestly waiting to see what n5 was never dreaming they would've actually went with the stripped down note so that threw me off lol

So basically the note 5 is a slightly larger S6 with an spen.

Great.....

No more samsung devices for me....at least not until they pull their heads out of apples as* and wake up.

It will be weird me not picking up a note this fall as i have done so since the 2. Even weirder is that in 2015 i did not purchase a single samsung device.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Hell they've been guilty of this forever imo...the sheer fact the n3 still has the ui and launcher from the jelly bean/early kk era and Samsung refused to even update the basic ui...it's absurd imo...it's why I will make it such a point to steal everything from that device before it even launches public for our note..lol

How stupid is Samsung...they're updating note 4 to the same base as note 5 launch software...so bar an added gimmick your note isnt even getting a newer base when note 5 launches lol....they simply half assed this device imo...the only thing that could get worse would be decreasing base updates from usually 2 per device down to 1...which would end tmo updates...unfortunately I could see that at this point if they're willing to only do 32gb model with no sd to force a 64 gb up sale on n5...smh

At least LG learned after the G2 and flex 1..they added ext card support for the G series and flex 2 and removable battery for the G series.

The only stupid thing they do unlike sammy is lock the damn bootloaders on the devices.

If they would stop doing that we would be GTG..i had a G2 and it was a really nice device. Never bothered with any after that due to the BL thing

Which I believe they are actually offering unlock codes...at least for the euro model...may be mistaken but I thought someone told me that...it's ironic Samsung just pi$$ed on its user base...while LG has done anything and everything to make the g4 appeal to everyone...at least it shows some desire to work with and care for those who buy these insanely priced phones
