GAaps are the google apps... good read:

http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps

(hopefully I am not out of line for posting a link to that wiki)

many ROMS like CM don't' include gaaps due to licencing/legal issues. which is why the AOSP roms devs often have you flash the GAAPS package separately (also you can pick your package for your fact pattern... full gaaps/minimal gaaps/etc.).

Also the gaaps zip files you flash from recovery install the files into system. a lot of folks like the minimal editions of GAaps because it doesn't force all the apps into system. instead it just gets you up and running with the play store and a few essentials... that lets the user install all the other google apps as user apps, from the play store.

basically taking the "debloat" mentality as far as you can... keep stuff out of system and let the user decide what to install.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wf858:
Hi, I just tried Modding on Android for the first time. I went about this using adb commands in Ubuntu Terminal. I unlocked my bootloader then (I think) I flashed twrp recovery onto my Nexus 4 (Build Number LMY470.) When I went to check if my flashing of twrp was successful, it brought me stock recovery. I saw online that someone was in the same situation and they used the

fastboot erase cache

so I tried the same. In the terminal it looked like it was successful but as soon as I went to recovery mode it brought me to stock recovery again. In the recovery menu it said something about failing unmount or something. After this I tried turning my phone on and it has been stuck in the boot animation for the past 50 minutes. What should I do? Thanks!

EDIT: I factory reset my device after an hour and a half of not knowing you could get out of the boot animation. Now my recovery works. No replies needed.

Hello

I am new to both this forum and rooting and I hope that I am writing a thread on the right place. I've been trying to install 2.3.4 gingerbread on my Alcatel One Touch 990, following this tutorial from this forum. After installing the batch file from Pack 2 (install.bat) , my phone got stucked into bootloop. (I would post the link of tutorial but the forum blocks me :/ ).

I can't access recovery neither clockwork mode. Whenever I try to do anything with power button, the phone gets into boot loop. I am not sure but I think that usb debugging is turned on.

Can anybody help me out?

Thank you.

What's up peeps, who else is skipping the next Note? I know I am, sadly I will have to part ways with what I though would be the only phone I'd rather have. EvLeaks mentioned no SD card, and I am obviously reconsidering another device. My new device of choice is now the new Moto X Pure Edition. It has great specs and a way more cheaper price and doesn't lack SD card. And straight up its beefy. Looking at the leaks it'll be the same note with a glued back and no SD card. I am however keeping my note 4 :) what do you fellas think? Judging by the articles many people are going to leave samsung. I've been loyal since the s3. O well

I have the Note 4 and have been VERY happy with it coming from the Note 3. I'm still on the original NK4 rooted with DK 4.2 rom. Im waiting for the 5.1.1 roms before I update it since doing the update will keep the phone fresh for me for quite some time. With that being said. I want the SD card, that's a must. I never have a need for removable battery as I get 7-8 hours of screen on time easily. I love the S Pen and I use it regularly THAT is the only reason i may consider Note without SD card but I'm more then likely looking at The Moto X Pure/Style if I were to upgrade. The LG G4 would have been a great option in my opinion if they just idn't go with the 808 SD. That processor just feels like an AMD chip instead of an Intel if you get my meaning.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glm0025:
Also been very happy with the specs and performance of the Note 4 so I will use it until it dies. Now in case it goes to the cellphone graveyard my number one choice would be the new Nexus 5 from LG, if the specs and look are exactly as the leaks have shown then it will be a great cost-effective phone. As a previous Nexus 5 owner i am inclined to it over any flagship phone out there.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warrior1975:
I'm on the fence, as I love the Note series. I will probably still get the note 5,but I will definitely look at other options.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabuk1:
I usually upgrade every year and was fully planning to get the note 5 until all these leaks starting coming out. No way in hell now, it'd be a downgrade. The mediocrity of the n5 has actually renewed my appreciation for how awesome my n4 is, so I'm more than happy to just hang on to the trusty old mare until she quits or until an actual worthy upgrade comes out. There's nothing out right now that really reels me in, maybe I'll upgrade if the G4 Pro comes out and is super incredible. Regardless I have a feeling this'll be my last Samsung phone, unless by some miracle they pull their heads out of their rears with the note 6.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warrior1975:
Is there one thing in particular? Or just the cumulative effect of their poor choices?

For me the non removable battery is the primary reason. I hate not having a spare battery, drives me insane. I'm 50/50 on ordering one. I am definitely going to see what else I could use, but I've been with Sammy for so damn long...

Anyone have suggestions for a new phone? I was considering briefly the Nexus, or the new LG. I though I glanced at an article for the new LG that sounded like it had a stylus, I belive it was the LG G4 Note... Which I thought was odd.

Moto x pure edition looks legit man, and has a expandable storage up to 128 with 64gb internal? Geez. If I go that route I would be getting a champagne trim with a red leather back and red accents lol. I love the note screen tho that's the thing that I really love. But that's why I'm keeping my note 4 till the mofkn wheels fall off! !!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v2.2v:
How do you know the Note 5 won't have better battery life? Just because it has more cores doesn't mean it will have any less battery life. Optimization is key. If the new chipset is more efficient then that will equal better battery life. Just saying lets wait for the phone to be released (hell, even announced) before we rule it out.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonebeatz1234:
From the lies of previous processors being more efficient I highly doubt they can make it last longer than the note 4 with all the extra juice to power.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FarReach:
I've been searching for contenders since finding out the S6 was sealed shut because I knew the Note line would follow. I narrowed it down to the LG G4 for the removable battery and expandable storage until recently. Now I'm actually considering switching everything I've known up and ~possibly~ go with a Windows phone. People either love them or hate them, and honestly I've never had one so I figure I might give it whirl. The 950XL seems promising for my needs but it all depends if those rumors are true too. Not to mention if T-Mobile will even carry it as I depend on WiFi calling. I've been with Samsung since the S2 and Android in general even longer so it'll definitely be a change all around. If all that doesn't pan out I'll probably still go with LG, but I'll see what's out when the time comes.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glm0025:
Note 5 without removable battery and SD card kills everything that made this phone great. If my Note 4 should die I would look into the new LG Nexus 5. Specs looks good and the previous version was a solid phone.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ummduh:
Switching. Have the new X in my sights. Honestly I never wanted the note 4 in the first place, but it really was the best available phone (by quite a bit) at the time. Well, now, many others have caught up.The X might not be every bit as good, but it's pretty close, and it's $300 or more less expensive. I only use the stylus for BS anyways.

I already bought the new G for my son (shipped, will be here next week), and heck, if I like that, I may even just slum it and go that route. I'm kind of sick of what I spend on these flagship phones now a days.

Edit: like others have said, I'm even considering Windows 10 phone. But I think I'll give them at least 1 more generation before I make that jump.. Or start out with a budget one and use it as a backup or something and see how it goes.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuah22a:
Today was the first day I considered sticking with my N4.. but the horrible battery life I'm getting is just too great... if I could somehow get atleast 8 hrs SOT like I was before this lollipop update then I would highly consider sticking around longer... right now I'm running 128gb so I love the more than ample space I have and I do NOT like the non SD and non removable battery. ... this lollipop update has pushed me to buying a charging dock for this phone because the battery is so bad.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misterjunky:
re: Battery life

Hardly anyone gets 8+ hrs. SOT. (unless they have an extended battery) :)

Battery life all depends on the individual user, everyone uses their phones differently and people have different

apps installed plus different personal setting like their brightness setting, auto screen off time, volume and so on.

An other big variable is the number of auto-start apps each of which consume different amounts of battery power

and run in the background. And lastly, remember that everyone uses their phones differently.

You do know that you can downgrade back to the odin flash official kitkat 4.4.4 firmware and re-root your phone,

flash twrp recovery and lastly flash one of the excellent kitkat custom roms found here in xda.

Now why didn't I think of that! LOL

Have a great day,

Good luck!

I have a Motorola Moto X 2nd Generation. I had purchased it from another person and I was unaware that it had a screenlock on it. So in order to get into the phone I tried to preform a hard reset on the phone. However, the phone had been rooted and had a custom ROM installed onto it as well as the fact that the bootloader is unlocked. When I tried to hard reset it it was giving me trouble so I went into the recovery option which took me to TEAM WIN RECOVERY OPTION and I mistakenly wiped the entire contents of the phone. Litteraly every file. So I am trying to get my phone to work again by trying to reinstall the files on the phone. My laptop will recogonize the device however whenever we try to get the phone to accept the files according to the instructions on the MOTOROLA website this is the message we are getting in the command prompt screen

i cannot get past this step. I think i may have deleted a vital piece that makes it possible to for the phone to accept the zip files and install them.

Is there a way to get my phone working again and what are the steps to make it possible.. I am just begining to learn how to do all this and am not quite sure of what I was and am doing. PLease help I was unaware of what I was actually doing when i wiped the phone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] momule:
Hey Folks.

I recently purchased a Samsung Gear fit and was kinda assuming the apk floating around would install it and allow me to setup the device and then go from there. Well the app force closes upon opening the app. I am running Cyanide RC 17.1 - 5.1.1 Using his custom kernel. I have tried downgrading to a TW 4.4.? Rom and every single one just hangs on the Verizon logo on boot. I'm soft resetting the phone > CWM 6.0.4.3 (factory reset, Clear cache, Wipe Delvik) > Flash Rom. Every time same result. I am running the ND7 radio. I would really like to stay with 5.1.1 but I would also really like to be able to use the Gear fit.

I have run this Rom before upgrading to the LP versions. I really dont want to have to Odin back to stock and then root again and so but im starting to get that feeling it may be the only option. So i figured i would throw this out there first. This forum has some incredible Dev, Mods and users Im hoping someone might be struggling with the same prob.
