[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traiangm:
I'm not sure what could be happening in your case but I have successfully flashed the International img's over the Chinese img's more than 10 times (with 0 failure) 125 over 132 or 324 over 351. In these cases I successfully flashed: boot.img, cache.img, system.img, data.img, recovery.img but in the more recent cases I just flashed system.img and everything worked! I'm on Lollipop 324 TL-10.

PS: every 4.4.2. on 4.4.2. or 5.1.1. on 5.1.1. should work.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirosaw2:
Ok, i've fixed the BB by flashing the CHB133, but i still need to convert the device to international, now i'm gonna flash only system.img for the B125 again or should i try with another ver?
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traiangm:
You should be fine with B125
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirosaw2:
after flash only system.img for B125 on B125 i'm getting "System UI" FC msgs, tried hard reset but that didn't help,

i've updated to B351 and will flash B324 and see if it's gonna work.

---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------

Ok, everything working fine except for the internal memory which shows only 4GB instead of 25GB !!!

do you know why or how to solve this ?
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traiangm:
You can try to flash userdata.img
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirosaw2:
Mt7-tl10 chnc00 -&gt; mt7-tl10 c00 ???

Tried that already with the "userdata.img" for both the B324 Inter and B351 chnc and ended up with the same result!

You should know that this time i flashed the 5 images from B324 over B351 (boot, recovery, cache, userdata and system), should i just flashed the system?

Hi,

Is there a way to limit the path of where HTC Audio Manager will search for files?

I just want to force it to one direcory and ignore what else is on the phone.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ProFragger:
Hi Guys,

I know I am bound to face some bias here, since this is a Note 4 forum, but I am owner of an LG G4, previously G3 and Note 2 and 3, but have also bought a Note 4. Now, of course, I should just sell my LG G4, which I happen to like very, very much. I just can't stand the less than 3 hours screen on time, and am longing for some AMOLED, larger screen, and finger-print scanner goodness on the Note 4.

Still, before I sell away my G4, thought I'd post here and get some of your experiences/opinions on this topic, especially if you have by any chance made the same decision as me?

Thanks in advance for all your advice!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] siraltus:
I have had both since June, and honestly it's a tough call. I really like that the G4 is fully up to date, and has Stagefright patched, and overall feels much faster and snappier than the Note 4 after deleting carrier bloat. It's also smaller and lighter and sits in the hand better for me. The only thing I like about the Note 4 is the bigger and AMOLED screen (much better colors to me plus no on-screen navigation taking up space). Also, the G4 camera does better in low light - it captures more detail. With the spare battery, the G4 is fine for me, as I always carried a spare battery for my Note 4, too.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ProFragger:
Gotcha, thanks for chiming in bud! Have you rooted and custom ROM'd your Note 4? Wondering if that upped the performance on it, like the G4? I know Stagefright is also patched in Custom ROMs? Thanks again for your help!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] siraltus:
Oh yeah, I'm on rooted, deodexed OG2 (5.0.1) ROM on T-Mobile, all bloatware deleted. It's fast, but not as fast as the G4. I'm sure that once 5.1.1 finally drops for it, whenever that will be, it will be as snappy as the G4, because people who got 5.1.1 (Sprint, and various international variants) report the performance improves vastly with the update.

Stagefright is not automatically patched in custom ROMs as they are based on the unpatched Samsung software, unless the ROM is AOSP/Cyanogen-based as far as I know. But maybe I'm wrong.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Jammol:
I currently own both. Staring at them right now and I can't decide which one to sell. I love them both because they each offer something different that the other doesn't. I am currently using my G4 because refreshing to hold. One of the most comfortable phones I have ever used. The other reason I'm using the G4 right now is because of battery life. Don't know what it is, but the G4 lasts a heck of a lot longer than the Note 4, bone stock and rooted. That's the one thing LG has always been good at, battery life. I remember when I had a G Pro that lasted 2 months on standby just sitting there with wifi and bluetooth on, emails were syncing and everything. Took 2 months to die. My G4 was up for 2 days straight last week when I got it and I got 5hrs of screen time. No video watching, just mostly work, texting, school(Schoology) and XDA.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ProFragger:
I know I am the noob to this community, but fairly certain, the 910T3 firmware especially comes with Android 5.1.1 Stock. I could be wrong though?

Jammol - Thank you for your response. I love my G4 in form factor and also looks too, I've got the Leather Back model. But my battery life is nowhere near what you said. On the G3, it was stock, debloated, Greenified, and I still could barely hit 4 hours of SOT. On the G4, rooted, debloated, not Greenified, I am barely able to hit 2.5 hours of SOT, and that is WITHOUT gaming, extensive videos and etc. Just WiFi most of the day and long conference calls for work. Example today: 5.5 hours on battery, 4 hours of calls, 1 hour 16 minutes SOT, WiFi, and no videos, I am at 51% already! Care to share your model/variant and battery set up?

Also, you forgot to mention the upside of your Note 4 :P? Care to comment on it's performance and etc compared to the G4? Thanks!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] siraltus:
True, and there is a "hybrid" 5.1.1 ROM that you can theoretically use on the T variant, but I don't know how stable/reliable it is, given the baseband and bootloader are different.

Pesronally, I only run deodexed stock ROMs that I modify myself to my liking, as I don't like all the extra garbage and ****ty themes that most XDA devs bake into their ROMs, so I'm **** out of luck until Samsung releases the official 5.1.1 update for the T variant.

EDIT: Apparently I am out of the loop. There is Xposed for Samsung for 5.1.1 now: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ProFragger:
I am super "noob" confused, [MENTION=2317284]siraltus[/MENTION] - I thought 910T3 comes with Official 5.1.1 from T-Mobile US/Sammy and TEKXodous comes with Xposed 5.1.1 installer, no?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] siraltus:
Yes, T3 comes with 5.1.1, but there is no offical 5.1.1 update for the regular T (not T3) variants, so we can only run a "hacked port" of 5.1.1 taken from the T3. The official update would include a T-variant baseband, bootloader, and other firmware bits (sbin, tz, etc.) that the phone needs matched up to the ROM version for trouble-free performance, the baseband being the most important.

As for Xposed, you're right - http://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960 I had no idea.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Jammol:
I touch the Note 4 first:

I love it, I really do, but for me when a dev has to release a custom Rom to fix stupid little bugs, that's a huge turn off for me. TekHD Roms are the best so far for the Note 4 and that's what I run. I love my SPen, though I don't use it every single day; I do use it for 2 weeks straight every quarter because of my job. Beats walking around with my laptop or tablet getting readings from machines. AMOLED; I don't get the hype about the blacks. I'm black and I don't even like the colour black that much(LOL, that was a pun). The screen is indeed beautiful and I love it to death, but there's something about an LCD screen that just tickles my pickle!(another one). Last but not least...the amount of Roms; DAMN!

G4:

I think it's your calls that are killing your battery. I have the T-Mobile 8511 version and I turned off VoLTE/HD Voice. It kills battery so bad when you're on a call. I was losing 5% battery for just a 10-15 minute phone call with my wife. That's ridiculous so I turned it off. I am running stock rooted, no bloat removed(there really isn't any), and I use most of LG's apps that are on there. I was using xposed at one point but that was also affecting my battery so I got rid of it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ProFragger:
That's interesting bud... I haven't run across any threads saying that people are having trouble with the T variant phones on 5.1.1, maybe you've seen some? Otherwise, I am really not even sure which variant is "better" or to hope for tomorrow when I finally get the phone in hand :)! Some say the T3 has a better GPS and feels smoother... I wonder if it's just big time placebo effect? Haha!

Jammol, first of all, really funny response bud! I like a man who is able to take things lightly and joke around :) :good:! [MENTION=4107827]TEKHD[/MENTION] ROMs look like they absolutely, by far have the most users as demonstrated by it's Views and Responses! But, it's also possibly the most complicated ROM thread I have ever seen :P! I really love the [MENTION=4107827]TEKHD[/MENTION] 's hard work, thank you friend! But I am not sure if it's the ROM for my needs, which, light, battery life, and just need enough tweaks to turn the Status Bar icon to Red, and change Toggle colors, and super bonus if Dialer could be black and red, and I am set! Wonder what kind of AnTuTu scores people get on that ROM?

Reading through, seems like Rapture maybe the best fit for my needs, but I just don't know. Care to share your experiences on different ROMs if you have tried those?

About the G4, I don't think AT&T offers VoLTE, but even if they do, I don't see an option to turn it off in the phone. Not to mention, how would it be working with my data off, any way?

Thanks again for your valuable input!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Jammol:
Can I ask how come you turn off your data?

I've tried a lot of the other Roms as well but I always went back to Tek's Rom. He does have a very little customized one for the T and T3 models. It's pretty much stock with just a few tweaks to it. I've tried DynamicKat and Pop, both are really awesome but the customization is rather small on the Pop version. Rapture is already also pretty good as well as PopRocks. When it comes to AOSP/CM, I always went with CM12.1 or XenonHD which is AOSP but with a few CM tweaks.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ProFragger:
I turn off data because: I am on WiFi, don't have unlimited data, and when not using data, I like to turn off the data radios to save power. Would you agree those are good reasons to turn it off?

I am so tempted to start off with Tek's ROM on my Note 4, but let's see what variant I end up with. What kind of screen on time's have you seen with the Note 4 and which ROM and Battery saving set ups? Some people hear swear by 5+ hours of SOT which would be a dream for me!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] siraltus:
The T3 variant most likely exists because Samsung changed suppliers for one of the key parts, like the display controller, power management, or one of the radio chips (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) which required a separate version of the OS (different drivers, configuration). They did this with the Note 3 before - units manufactured after May 2014 had a different display controller chip that broke things like brightness control in custom ROMs and TWRP.

Functionally, they're most assuredly identical. I have had two T variants, one manufactured October 2014 and one manufactured April 2015 and my GPS has been rock-solid on both, so not sure why people are having issues. The T3 feels smoother not because it's a T3, but because it's running 5.1.1. People who had their international variants and Sprint variants updated to 5.1.1 reported it was much smoother after the update as well.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ProFragger:
Thanks for the education again, bud. I can't believe the T variant folks haven't freaked out at T-Mobile yet for the lack of 5.1.1 upgrade! Wonder if ATT and sprint have given in their's?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] nib:
I had this dilemma as well. When my wife broke her s4, I went and got g4 for her (she is a big fan of removable battery, so s6 was not considered, s5 did not make sense, and note is too big). I must say, i fell in love with it once I started setting it up and played with it for a bit. I liked it so much, that I got one myself 2 days later to replace my Note 3. And it was really great, I cannot complain. But. Ended up using Jump and getting Note 4.

So in my case:

- G4 has a great form factor. REALLY comfy to hold. 5.5 seems to be a sweet spot, still big but not too big. Slightly curved shape was great. +1 for g4

- camera is hands down better then N4. Its simply amazing. Manual mode blew my mind. Cant say enough about it. +1 for g4

- g4 felt really fluid. Stock, as is, without screwing with it. Has much less bloat. Happened to love UI a lot, its classier, for a lack of a better word (totally subjective of course). Loved the knock code functionality. N4 has fingerprint scanner, but one-hand unlock is really awkward and difficult in real-life use, so I have it turned off. Now that 5.1 is available for n4, things are better for sure, and there are custom roms star popping up, but if you compare phones as is, out of the box, again, +1 for g4

- Screen/picture quality. Using Sammys phones exclusively for last 5 years (starting from original galaxy), I am too spoiled by super amoled. as great as g4 LCD dispaly is, I found myself missing that extra "pop". +1 for n4

- battery life is not in a same league as n3/n4. By significant and noticable margin. Plus virtually no power saving functionality in OS. +1 for n4

- Sound quality better on N4 to my ears, lot of other people seem to feel this way as well. Also Samsung professional audio makes things like iRig for guitar possible. +1 for n4

- Dedicated vs. on-screen buttons. I am a huge fan of good ol' Home key and I am used to it a lot. +1 for N4

- Multitasking. Even though g4 has it, it has nothing on TW, especially on LP iteration of it, with a swap from a corner. +1 for N4

- I personally did not find myself missing s-pen a lot, but I suppose its still a +1 for N4

So, ultimately, better battery life, better screen/colors, better sound and to a lesser gegree physical keys/multitasking made me go back to Note. Miss G4 camera a lot though.)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Jammol:
Was just curious why you turned it off. That's a good thing to do to save battery. I recommend using Tek's Rom most definitely. I noticed you said let's see what variant you end up with; are you referring to T-Mobile T and T3 or carrier variants? Definitely go with T-Mobile because of the Roms.

Tek's Roms come with the Emotion Kernel. I always use Synapse to tweak the settings to balance out performance and battery. Right now I'm using Intelliactive; sleeps like a baby.

I see someone posted that the G4 has no battery saving settings. That's totally negative. You can turn on battery saver to kick in at 15% or higher than that. Sorry but the G4 lasts a lot longer than the N4 on pure stock no mods on both.

Functionality: Note 4(SPen)

Longevity: G4.

Camera: G4

Roms: Note 4(for now as G4 community is very small at the moment)

Performance: Both

Temperature: G4(BY FAR. Stays way cooler than the Note 4)

This is all based on Stock.

Update: I decided I'm going to take my G4 back to T-Mobile; not because anything is wrong with it and I don't like it, but because I rather have the money. Looking back on my post here I realized I really just got it because I wanted to scratch an itch of having a new device. Started using my Note 4 again starting yesterday and man I did miss it, even if I gotta charge it up before the end of the day! Lol. I'm a very impulsive person when it comes to smartphones, it's the only thing I don't mind shelling out a ton of money for but then later I think back about the amount of money and just would rather have it. I can always borrow my wife's and use hers for a few days if I get the itch.

Note 4 is the right choice.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ProFragger:
Great analysis and break down Sir, and I mostly agree. I think for now, I will move on from the G4, and perhaps return to LG with the V10.

Thanks again buddy. I must be doing something wrong with Synapse, but whenever I try to overclock the phone, somehow, tried many different Governors like Lionheart, Performance and etc, the settings go right back to normal. Do you know what I am doing wrong?

I've gotten conflicting results when reading the forums about whether or not the G928T is rootable via Arter97's kernel. In how to guides I see evidence that it might be but on the Arter97 dev thread it says coming soon.. yet at the same time in update 3.6 it says "added support for T...".

Can anyone confirm if the Arter97 Kernel can be used to get root access on a G928T running 5.1.1?

Also, I woke up this morning to an update from T-Mobile... I'm assuming I shouldn't take the update if I plan to root? Anyone have any suggestion there?

Hi all,

Yesterday, after connecting my bluetooth headset to my Droid Razr HD Maxx, all my apps (Google, Homescreen, Facebook, etc.) kept crashing. I thus rebooted my phone, and upon reboot, it then became stuck on the red Motorola logo. None of the options in the boot menu work for me except the Fastboot (all others just return me to the red logo). I have tried a variety of tools to flash back to the stock Verizon firmware, but all have failed at the same step, namely during the first step - the flashing of the GPT partition. Here's everything I've tried:

House of Moto 4.3

RSD Lite 6.1.6 (as explained here, both with and without the .xml file modifications)

RSD Flasher 2.8 (in conjunction wit RSD Lite 6.1.6)
