I use Holo Launcher HD. I've tried Nova. I think Holo is faster. There's no more development on it though. But it's still faster than anything else I've used.

I can't guarantee it'll be that way for you.

I use the stock TouchWiz launcher. No third party launchers here. Im not sure a third party launcher is going to be any faster.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] stueycaster:
I have always disliked TW Launcher because there are no settings for it. I can set up Holo just like I want it. I use a 9x7 grid and disable drawer animations. I set scrolling speeds at 100% and can't see my screens move because it's so fast.

I disable animations system wide. I think they use extra power just to slow my phone down and I don't like looking at them. I don't really see why they would affect Antutu scores though.

I do use Greenify and stop 27 out of 52 apps from running in the background. Morom comes pretty well debloated.

I don't know that anything I mentioned here would affect a benchmark. I just like to see my phone running fast. I do get good Antutu scores though.

Nice spec!

I do have launcher question. I've had Nova for years and now. From forum suggestion, I tried Holo HD. Actually not bad and I don't see it in the apps running list.

I noticed that after the the last test that Nova was still running, so I turned it off. After that I'm at 46653.

Should I uninstall nova?

I have set all animations to 0 with in setting/developer . Are there more settings somewhere?

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] stueycaster:
Morom comes with Nova pre-installed. I don't remove it. I'd suggest this. Go into TW Launcher and Nova and remove all but 1 screen and all icons except the App Drawer. That's how I run mine. It might help.

I have Greenify off, do you think turning it back on would help? I have the paid version of Grennify and you can go much deeper than standard. Is there a way to get a picture of your Greenify list?

Plus let me know if you have this issue. The screen is off and you go back to use the phone and it's going through a Greenify app turn off cycle. Does your phone ever lock up during a cycle because you hit a phone function to use it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] stueycaster:
Well I doubt we have the same apps. Here's how I use it. There are apps that I want available all the time. If they provide info that I need all the time or my antivirus or keyboard app or if they seem important to me I don't greenify them. But if they are something I only use once in a while and don't seem very important I greenify them.

Also I don't remember my phone doing that lock-up thing you mentioned. At least I don't think it has.

I never considered disabling TW Launcher. I'd be afraid it would mess something up. But did you follow my suggestion about getting rid of all the screens but 1 with nothing but the app drawer icon? Maybe it's no big deal but I don't feel right with anything going on in another launcher.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] RedsonRising:
I wonder if there would be any sort of performance gain from setting only 1 window in TW but keeping your multi windows in your main launcher? I need the multiple windows but not in the launcher I'm not using. Hmm....

What you could do

1- load your list in Debloater

2- right click on the " read device packages " button to open the options box

3- Export the blocked packages

Then copy and paste the list into a forum reply

You should save the your list, anyway

I'm sorry I couldn't help you man. But since I have a Note 4 Dev Ed it's like comparing apples to oranges. My custom rom came debloated and I have no idea what was removed. Plus I have a custom kernel. I don't overclock though.

[General Questions and Answers] juanito157:
So I've been an avid Android user since it's birth, I've NEVER owned an apple products and up until recently, I've NEVER even considered it but the 6plus caught my eye.. I know that neither eco system is perfect but I'm so tired of some of the issues I'm having with my Samsung device that have continued from s3 to s4 to note 3 and now my Note 4... I can't understand why the same problems persist???? And rooting the phone is just not something I want to do + a jailbroken iPhone also opens up the device to better performance...

(a) Frequently when I take a picture and try and view the picture immediately afterwards, the phone experiences lagging and force closing

(b) when I receive a message or notification of ANY kind while listening to media, my volume is decreased and the only solution is to text myself and the new notification increases my media volume again

(c) the brightness sometimes turns itself down due to overheating

(d) WiFi issues!! Losing connection and reconnecting FREQUENTLY!!

(e) this phone was supposed to be compatible with my pioneer head unit using mirrorlink, purchased the latest head unit EXACTLY for that purpose as pioneer assured me that it was what I needed for mirror link to work. Well it didn't and researched the hell out of it (no solution)

(f) GPS sucks balls, constantly getting confused on my location, at 1st it was strictly a problem in downtown Chicago but now it happens in the suburbs too.. I could be sitting still and the phone suddenly tells me to turn left and then it corrects itself and then again turn left and it will continue to switch back N forth until I start moving again...

Now I've had all but one of these issues on EVERY Samsung device I've owned, each time hoping that their latest and greatest devices will have resolved these issues but to no avail!!!

So I'm thinking of actually making a switch to Apple and keeping an Android tablet along side it for my Android fix... I have a couple friends who've always switched back N forth between the 2, so I know Apple is a fantastic device that doesn't typically suffer from existing problems with complete deniability.. The customer service is absolutely stellar but I also know that's it's a limited device... No more unlimited skip Pandora, no more torrenting straight to my device, no more custom launchers ect ect ect....

Anyways just want some input... By the way I'm NOT a dev or a computer wiz BUT I'm a geek and electronics and gadgets are my passion, I do custom car stereo installation, I build pc's, I repair pc's for friends frequently and overall I'm very capable... Trust me NON of my problems have a real solution... Also my wife too owns a Note 4 and same crap happens with her phone

So I dropped my phone, and the display just doesn't work anymore. No picture, nothing.

You triped Knox and no way you can undo it.

KNOX????

I know there's a way to root without tripping Knox.

But a custom ROM????

Easiest way is to get into download mode (using volume keys) and flash via Odin. (you just need to know the key combinations)

But in this case, I've no idea about Knox though!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diogofd8:
Hello guys!

Well, it looks like official TWRP (latest version) doesn't work for me as I use f2fs. I used a bsmitty build that worked like a charm but then updated to a more recent Ziyan build. I've noticed that the phone is giving error codes when I try to flash data or internal storage (so... the data partition) and I want to go back to a TWRP that doesn't have those kinds of problems. Especially because nowadays I try to erase everything apart from internal storage so I check all the boxes exept internal storage but it deletes internal storage too, it's annoying.

Does anyone have a older build or a new build without those problems and with f2fs support? I would appreciate if you share it with me :highfive:
[HTC First] jianC:
This replaces the first splash image you see when you turn on your phone. This splash image is taken from a HTC One X RUU and replaces the fb splash image. Your bootloader must be unlocked.

Result:

Download:

HTC splash1.nb0 (splash with htc logo)

FB splash1.nb0 (stock)

To flash:

fastboot flash splash1 splash1_htc.nb0

Note:

- This has a very low chance of bricking your device. Just don't flash to the wrong partition, and you will be fine.

- If you want to revert to stock, I have also extracted and uploaded the stock fb splash image above.
[Sprint LG G4] pelon90005:
So I've read over the general LG g4 forum that the T-Mobile version has an unlocked bootloader. There's so many post over in that thread now that I don't remember, but someone mentioned that under Settings> Developer options , they have an Enable OEM Unlock. Now here's my question. Since we have that option on our sprint version of the LG g4, what exactly does that do if enabled.? Like does it have to do anything related to unlocking the bootloader?

It all depends on what you are using your device for. Testing/development, OC, gaming use? There's a lot of different tweaks you can do to eke more performance out of it.

I'm on Exodus ROM, 1707 build.

Lightning SBTC kernel.

My issue is that apps download normally but some (most of them) take way too longer than normal to install.

I tried Installing apps from apks and the same issue arises.

I reflashed the to, went back to kk and upgraded. Then flashed this ROM again. But no luck

Also After flashing CMOS 12 apps, I had 2 theme store. I had to remove one (the one without cyanogen logo).

But the issue is that after I apply a theme, the messenger, whatsapp and some other apps' fonts reset to default after sometime.

Please help to solve these issues!
[YU Yureka Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3athwarrior:
About your issue of slow install, that has been quite the normal case with Lollipop in general, if you feel that apps are being installed at a slower rate then try some other ROM if same continues with other ROM then you'd have found that it's not the ROM's fault else its got something to do with the ROM, post a query to the OP of that ROM's thread.

There maybe some conflict in the theme manager due to you flashing COS12 apps. I'd recommend that you flash the ROM again and see if this issue persists without you flashing COS12 apps. :)

Is a screen protector actually able to prevent a screen from shattering when the phone is dropped?

[General Questions and Answers] GuestK0087:
It depends. Tempered glass protection is definitely superior, and will break before your screen. However, nothing is 100% fool proof. I recommend tempered glass over plastic.
[General Questions and Answers] ImBrakkie:
It also depends on the height if you drop it. I dropped mine and it shattered all over the place. Only good thing right when it happend was that screen was still working and the plastic cover kept the glass pieces in place. But as Evolution_Tech said, tempered glass is the thing.

This is how mine looked after a drop with screenprotector on (Not tempered)

All,

The problem described is 'new', i.e., I did not have this problem with my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 2 running Jelly Bean.

With my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 4, not all of my LinkedIn contacts are sync'ing with the Contacts app. Based on reading various posts here, I did the following:

Deleted my LinkedIn connection

Uninstalled the LinkedIn app

Cleared the memory on both Contacts and Contacts Storage

Restarted my phone

Reinstalled LinkedIn and reestablished the connection

Force a sync

According to LinkedIn, I have 1,267 connections, but after the above steps, I only show 1,019 contacts on my phone.

Can someone explain why 248 connections are not sync'ing? More importantly, can someone suggest a means for resolving this problem?

Thank you.
