[Galaxy Note 4 General] sublimaze:
Which is precisely why I just bought a Note 4 from swappa.

I have a S6 and the memory management sucks, the battery life is meh (even after optimizing the hell out of it) and I just feel it is more of a downgrade overall. The glass back is pretty, but it also lets the phone slide out of pockets more readily. If you are upgrading from a Neuxs 4 or something similar and you are used to crappy battery life, then you will think the S6 is a godsend. But I am used to 1.5+ day battery life and swapping a fresh battery, and never worrying about the battery meter. When my S6 was brand new, I could get more than 30 hours standby, but now I usually have to bump charge during the day.

I suspect the Note 5 will perform similarly, and I don't want to deal with that. If I am wrong and the Note 5 is a battery life beast, I will flip the Note 4 on craigslist.

I think you are right. My S6 battery life has diminished since it was new. I avoid quickcharging when possible.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tiny70thomas:
I'm still holding out hope it's the 7422. No one knows fir sure yet. The box just says 64bit octave care processor on it.

I've had EVERY flagship the last 5 years. The S6 was the smoothest fastest device I've ever had, but after about 10 min it's starts to lag. I assume it's because of the memory management. The new Note has 4 gb of Ram, but I'm sure Samsung will find a way to use it up. The S6 was the only phone i ever had that would actually run out of RAM.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
i read an article the other day from someone who had their hands on a new note 5, and said that after booting, he had about 1.5 gigs of ram available, meaning the "new and improved" Touch wiz took up over 2 gigs of ram after a reboot..

Not exactly good news, but it could have been beta software, so who knows..

all I know is the memory management on my S6 edge is horrible, and I am moving to a Nexus 6 in a few weeks..done with Samsung phones for now..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ThaiM:
Samsung execs must not have internet access and are solely confined to a locked room. So many fails and it's only getting worse. Debating on getting either the Note 4 now or see what the LG brings.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ciscostud:
Unused ram is wasted ram but in any case why do people think they can have a phone with many advanced features and services running without having to use ram?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
I have been using my Note 4 since just before international launch with Fast Charging On most of the time and I have not noticed any sort of degradation.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sublimaze:
There is no reason why a phone with 3 GB RAM should have to relaunch recent apps. And I am not talking about multi-GB apps. I am referring to mundane stuff like web browsers, file managers, even the stock calendar & clock ffs.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ciscostud:
So you want your web browser and mundane stuff to live in ram via userspace forever?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sublimaze:
I want my browser and mundane stuff to popup instantly, in the state I left them, just like they do on my other devices. I don't think that should be hard, given the S6 specs. The S6 memory management is notably subpar, ask anyone that has used a S6 for a week.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tiny70thomas:
It was and is a KNOW issue with GS6 that phone used more RAM than was available which caused it to jump and freeze. There has to be enough memory left after the OS for other apps to access. It's a fluid thing. You need a certain amount so other processes can also function.

So if you want to turn your phone on and gave ZERO wasted RAM, be my quest.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
Exactly.

In KitKat one was able to multitask freely, no app reloads, but with Lollipop, I find that if I have Chrome, FB, Instagram and Twitter going, then one will reload, which sucks.

At 3GB RAM there should not be any of this.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rushless:
This is true. Update was sent by Samsung to correct.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] cbutters:
I'm actually happy... I've been spending a fortune upgrading my phone to the latest and greatest every year for the last decade. This time, I don't have to. I already have the flagship product. I'll laugh all the way to the bank holding my 160GB Note4, change the channels on my TV, load a AOSP rom for fun, swap out the battery when I get done gaming, and laugh at the 32GB note 5 user who paid 700 for a stripped down Note4 device with only "cosmetic" upgrades and lost features (missing Sd, battery, IR)

The only thing that would have made me bite on the Note5 all things equal is if they would have included a 4K screen.

Maybe once we get performance numbers on the SOC and the 4GB of ram, i could possibly consider it if it can provide a significantly improved user experience.... but that is highly doubtful.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toss3:
It's a sad day, because this could mean the end of the line for the Note series. The Note 5 is not going to sell and Samsung won't understand why and discontinue it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] @home:
If they don't understand why they must be thick at Samsung HQ.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] one-option:
I totally agree with you.

it is all because of using the stupid glass !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is wrong with metal or premium Plastic ?????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!

Building a smartphone out of glass is such a stupid idea ................ I liked the plastic used with Note 3 & Note 4 .... it does looks cool.

any way I will wait for Note 6, still for me Note 4 is a better phablet than Note 5, for me

Note 5 = Galaxy S5 = Fail

Say No For Glass
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
To the OP

I concede that you were correct, same to [MENTION=980049]Toss3[/MENTION]! You guys were correct and I was wrong.

I was convinced we would at least get IR and the bigger battery in the Note 5, alas, its everything you guys said, the leaks revealed EVERYTHING.

I apologise for the argument in the 1st page.

Haha! This! :D

Getting a 128GB MicroSDXC for mine and enjoying it for another year :)

Hope they learn a major lesson here.

Nah, they'll blame the iPhone again and not their decisions that are causing a big piece of their current Note install base to move to other devices.

I'll be posting up the kernel soon. It's nothing more than stock with adb root support, permissive, and root restriction removed. I'll probably update it to add init.d support and a few other things I come across, because afterall, this is just a first build to remove that annoying root restriction. I'm sure there are other things I can improve upon.

Antone have a backup of og5 ROM so we can flash that on top of this and have stock rooted?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] freeza:
It's live :)

Remember to back up before you flash ......just in case lol.

Includes init.d support.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] freeza:
I'll be posting up a stock rooted ROM later on today.

But for now, you should be able to backup your current OG5 ROM with TWRP before flashing.

I'm not sure what problems people have had with TWRP not sticking, but it's stuck on my phone the first time I flashed it immediately after OG5 update.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dschachm:
I downloaded og5 and updated and boot looped when I tried to root. I never backed up, so I have the og5 boot loader and twrp but I am running sacs ROM. A stock rooted ROM flashable in twrp is exactly what I am looking for. Thanks
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Excellent!

[MENTION=309990]freeza[/MENTION] could I make a couple of requests, please?

Your kernel sounds like what I'm looking for. Could I get one with Enforcing mode for added security? Did he say E... ?

Also the guys in Note Edge forum could use a kernel for root as well.

Thanks. I've actually found ways to get around enforcing for V4A and ADB on OB7.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] ipodhacked86:
Holy ish that was fast freeza
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] freeza:
Sure, I'll make an enforcing version in a bit. After I post the stock rooted ROM up.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Liptus:
I guess I'll just be that guy... How do I install this thing?

I don't have twrp and all the guides show to have root first and use flashing.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] logikzzz:
Confirmed working*

Starting from scratch you need things. Odin, Chainfire auto root, TWRP, and the kernel. Boot into download mode. Flash TWRP tar. boot into twrp recovery and backup system.

Boot into download mode again. Flash chainfire autoroot. Boot into download mode again, flash TWRP recovery again.

Boot into recovery, flash beastmode zip file.

You will now be rooted on this kernel.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Liptus:
Awesome, thanks for the quick response. I'll try to find some guides once I'm home.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Thank you very much, sir! That's very kind of you. Looking forward to that.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] freeza:
Was able to find someone on the Sprint community forums to help me resolve the issue, so I'm staying :)

I have been trying, but with how closely se android is tied in with rkp (real-time kernel protection), tima, and root restriction, it's virtually impossible to make an enforcing kernel but still retain root on this, and recent firmware on Samsung phones.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Glad you're still with us.

Rooted on 5.1.1 and got xposed working also.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] denero1:
just checking in hope I don't ask anything stupid I did this awhile back I was wondering is there an update I need to do or anything or is it cool to just stick to the base root this thread gave? if so could someone lead me in the direction of update I need to keep phone in working order. All I did was root but still have the basic rom that originally is on phone.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
If you're wanting to stay stock, the only update would be the kernel found in freeza's latest ROM. Most likely not a beginner's task because there's not a flashable upgrade for the kernel; it's integrated into the ROM zip.

A step up from from stock would be the whole ROM. It's beta 1.1 (just updated last night) but reportedly stable for a daily driver with possible flashable updates from developer.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=63028063

Make a backup of your current ROM before updating. Rooted stock was only the beginning for freeza with OG5; a necessary step to get development started, IMO.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DAE51D:
I notice a real annoyance in that my WiFi doesn't automatically connect to saved spots (home or work for example). I have to manually click the WiFi icon off, then back on, and it will then connect appropriately. My Galaxy S4 would just switch as needed wherever I was.

Related to this, I notice that with an application like Sensorly or WiFi Analyzer it doesn't find any WiFi spots! Both of these worked perfectly on my S4. So clearly something is jacked up, but I don't know what it could be. All the settings look correct in the WiFi menus. I feel there is a deeper problem somewhere. When connected, WiFi works perfectly with good signal, no drops, etc. It's just the auto-scanning or something.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] androodius:
I have the stock 5.1.1 on my phone, well that is stock other than the beastmode kernel. I downloaded the stock Rom from SamMobile and then rooted using a custom recovery. Since the stock Rom won't start with root I installed the beastmode kernel and all is well. Thank you freeza
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] frenize:
Is there any hope for root for those of us who have received a replacement note already with 5.1.1 installed?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Yes. The post linked below is still relevant for OG5 and OJ6 updates. The bootloader prevents downgrade in Odin but root is not blocked when using the kernel exploit that Beastmode has integrated.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=62241991

There are custom ROMs to consider that are rooted as well. If you flash a custom OG5 ROM, you'd only need to Odin TWRP and flash those; they're pre-rooted with kernel and SuperSU already. Freeza is working on a OJ6 ROM and kernel.

Edit: freeza posted OJ6 update today in his Note 4our thread; no tar yet so based on system pull. In the absence of the tar, best to OTA update to OJ6 before applying the OJ6 ROM. Rooted users may be better off waiting for tar to fully update to OJ6 without risking OTA after full OG5 tar due to the perils others have reported trying to get their phone back on OTA updates and actually applying OTA update... Often there's a dm-verity issue or update fails citing modification to phone directories; this failure refers users to KIES or Odin to update. Not all have been successful making that transition after root.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] androodius:
I don't think you'll have a problem. You'll know if you can install a custom recovery or not. It is too bad that Chainfire is not making an auto root for that version. I'm assuming that a replacement is refurbished. I'm curious how that goes so do share.

Odin a custom recovery then flash super su with the custom recovery. You have to add a custom kernel also because the stock Rom will not start with root with out it. Freeza's barcode beastmode does the trick.

---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------

An FYI just in case it fails when you Odin the recovery. Don't just unplug your device after a failed Odin. Hold the power + home + volume down buttons until your device goes back to the choice between download and restart screen. Choose continue with volume up and quickly hold power + home + volume up to boot in to the boot loader and clear your cache before rebooting. I unplugged a S3 mini after a failed Odin once and it went to sleep forever.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] JFay22:
So I am stock OG5 rooted with beast mode kernel...if I ODIN og5 tar and take OJ6 OTA and root with beast mode og5 kernel, I will not be able to Odin back to og5 if there are problems, correct? What about restoring a TWRP backup from OG5 rooted with beast mode will that get me back to where I started or will oj6 ota prevent a successful nandroid back to og5 as well? Thanks. I just don't want to jump the gun on this.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
You could do it that way but the kernel most likely wouldn't be the one freeza is currently using. Flash the latest OJ6 by freeza or borrow the kernel if you're staying with stock. The ROM is mostly stock anyway; you could just flash it and call it rooted stock. If you root on your own, don't forget about flashing SuperSU zip.

To answer your other question, two users have reported going back to OG5. One reported no issue while the other couldn't get phone to boot and had to take measures to recover his aunt's phone. Link below:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=63831716

That said, I don't think you'd really want to go back unless you had an issue after updating and needed a tar like the linked poster did.

Personally, I'd go with a clean Odin of OG5 before taking the OJ6 OTA. Backup what you want to extSdCard and wipe everything but extSdCard in TWRP, format data and do the wipe and data format a couple of more times. Power down prior to download mode for Odin.

As far as TWRP backup restore, I think that would work but not positive.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] lordtigger:
Ok sorry, newbie question. I'm on 910P with 5.1.1.

I did Dagget's steps to install TWRP, Beastmode kernel, and SU.

Am I good to go to flash any ROM from in here for our phones, or are there only specific ones. I just want something debloated and stable. Can I grab anything from the Sprint Development forum (or the Original Development forum?) and flash it from within TWRP?

Thanks!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
I suggest staying with your base regarding the ROM you flash as well as clean installing (follow the OP should do it). Look at Settings/About phone for your base.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] lordtigger:
Ok thanks, I appreciate that. I"m confused though. The OP instructs me on how to install the beastmode kernel. I have that already. It doesn't say anything about what ROM to put on.

And when you say to stay with my base as far as the ROM goes, my android version is stock 5.1.1. So are you saying any 5.1.1 ROM is fine?

Thanks!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Currently there's only one OJ6 ROM and it's mostly stock. There are other OG5 ROMs that are more custom. Those bases are both Android 5.1.1 so you'd need to be more specific and discern the difference to know which is best for you.

And I was referring to OP of custom ROM you choose for install directions.

Typically, you Odin the tar of the ROM base you choose but since OE1, the rules started changing and it appears to change making each on one unique to itself. It does appear you can Odin flash back to OG5 from OJ6 but I'd suggest either root OJ6 and wait for more custom ROMs or use the one available.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] bigbabo:
Yes u can flash any 5.1.1 rom

In the OP, there is just a ROM file to download. But below, it asks me a few things, and for some tells to to just flash the baseband, or just flash the kernel, etc. I'm stock with all recent updates, and then I went through the process in this thread. (beastmode kernel, TWRP, SU) I can just download the ROM to my phone and flash it within TWRP correct?

Just want to get this right so I don't brick my phone
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Yes. There's an Odexed ROM and deodexed ROM. Pick one of those. I believe we're still limited to deodex for Xposed in lollipop. Odexed is closer and more like stock but would have less mods and may not run Xposed.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dadda:
You dont have to be on a deodexed rom to use xposed installer. I'm on stock rooted OG5. Just look for wanam thread under the xposed general section.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
That's good to hear. Didn't work for a long time and the Wanam OP was sketchy last I checked.

If you run mostly stock and don't need the mods, Odexed is usually more stable and quicker. I'd rather run Odexed. Deodexed mods can be used as long as you or the flash also removes any associated Odex files.

I haven't ran that way since KitKat but I'll look into it. Back then you could also re-odex mods and apk's on your phone; that's still broke in Lollipop AFAIK.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dadda:
I never knew that about the we could re-odex mods and apks. But give it a try and when you do try it get the arm one and not the arm64.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] androodius:
You can flash any 5.1.1 Rom but it is not that simple if you have a carrier like Verizon or AT&T who lock their bootloaders you have to install safestrap and a custom kernel then gain root with safestrap and reinstall the kernel before you can flash. It is different with every model and date of manufacture as they do everything they can to prevent root. Bigbabo must mean you can flash any Sprint 5.1.1 Rom.

---------- Post added at 07:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------

You were able to install Xposed on an odexed Rom? That's awesome! Which installer did you use?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Well, I know where the Wanam thread is; I use that already. I do appreciate the Odex compatibility news; I've been too lazy to try it.

There was a developer OP I was following that never got the Lollipop re-odex script working. AFAIK, re-Odex scripts haven't worked since KitKat but it may be a TW or OEM issue as well.

I'm hoping Marshmallow sees more compatibility with custom Odex ROMs.
