I just got the new update an hour ago and wanted to share my thoughts because I know there's still a lot of people wondering what it fixes. So far I've noticed:
- Phone in general feels much much quicker.
- gallery no longer lags.
- switching from wifi to 4g o longer lags the phone
- camera is improved. Still slight shutter delay but I'm thinking it must jus be how it works since it's taking such high quality pics.
-updating apps in the play store no longer makes the phone lag.
-one of my favorite things is the home button response speed is really fast now(yes svoice home button is disabled) I noticed the home button used to lag sometimes. Much faster now.
- I noticed some buttons in the camera and gallery are different and have some extras. Haven't had much of a look yet.
-it appears all my apps are on the SD card now.
I can't comment on battery life or anything else yet but I'll keep an eye on it tonight.

I'm slightly confused. You're posting in the Sprint S4 forums but you're tagline says sent from Verizon S4.
While reading your posts earlier I was hoping you weren't applying Sprint updates to a Verizon phone.
But to stay on topic thanks for the feedback. I'm still in process of updating.

Nope. Took me like 2 hours to.download the MDL tar to go to stock unrooted then flashed update zip.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
For me, I still see and feel the occasional lag. But then, my reference point was the rooted MDL with the ktoonsez kernel and the Crossbreeder mod. . I dont even remember what the stock MDC & MDL setups felt like.
I don't like that it locked up something so that triangle away doesn't work anymore and flashing chainfire's root through PC Odin causes the system counter to read custom. Hopefully those issues will get fixed. I want to say battery life is better but I haven't had enough time with it to get a definitive answer. Then again, after rooting, I froze a $hit ton of bloat with titanium backup as usual.

Warmth is normal during charging, but if it is almost too hot to hold there is a problem. I'm on MDL and other than slight warmth during charging my phone NEVER heats up. My S3 would get hot/warm even with light usage but my S4 never does.

I am installing it now. I ran a benchmark before I installed this update.. we will see how it does after. I am excited that we are actually getting updates for the phone, now only if JB could be here! ...and root
Will this update make root harder to obtain? And will it make everything that has been done up to now pretty much useless? Just things I was wondering..
EDIT: I have already noticed more RAM is available. The phone just seems snappier. Benchmark results were nearly identical (4804 before and 4802 after). HDR Mode is now an option in camera mode, and I've never seen that before. This update seems nice.

Click to expand...

Odexed is pure stock. More difficult to mod unless the dev puts out both versions. It is supposedly faster also. Never could tell a difference in speed. But I like to stay close to stock so I always run odexed and odex all of my work. Deodexed is good for modding and theming since you only have to do things once. It is also a little smaller in size. Again supposedly a little slower, like starting apps. Also more difficult to get things working right at times. Like Google Wallet working on my Odexed Rom but not on Deodexed.
I am sure if you Google them you will find much better answers than what I have provided.

This bloody thing didn't save anything really, just annoyed me by turning off things i set to autosync and etc. Used to use it on my S3 when it first leaked months ago and broomed it fast when i noticed i wasn't receiving emails and such anymore. Apparently it turns off what it "thinks" is not necessary, like email accounts i set to check every hour. After a few days of no email, which i found weird, i went into my email settings and this silly app had turned off sync and set it to manual amongst other annoyances. I never really noticed any battery savings anyway.

Yes, you can. It's not that hard to return your phone to factory, so flash away (well, within reason avoid GSM ROMS obviously, and be aware of AOSP-related bugs).
It's not too hard to underclock either if you're using a good performance managing app. And although it's been knocked a bit lately, ROM Toolbox does have CPU control if memory serves me right. HTC's built in power saver app doesn't do a half bad job (same with Qualcomm's BatteryGuru).

The first N3 kept an Edge data signal most of the time and would never lock onto and LTE signal for more than 10 seconds. The second one, and about 6 others I looked at in the store, had issues with the home button getting stuck under the glass. It was just during regular use, not trying to force it. If I tapped on the button off-center, it would get stuck under the glass, and constantly make the task manager pop up. The manager tried to call my bluff until she repeated the same when using the phone normally, instead of holding it horizontally and letting the weight of the phone release the button each time. I felt like it was back in the Hot Wheels days of searching for Treasure Hunts. I got one that doesn't seem to have any issues so far, aside from my E-mail FC, but I'll figure that out.

It's funny that you mention it, just today we discovered that it is possible to flash custom ROMs. If you're on MJ5 and something goes wrong, you won't be able to un-brick your device. However if you're running an earlier firmware you can use Odin to re-flash stock. Can't wait to wipe this TouchJizz off the face of the earth, just waiting for that MJ5 Odin. :good:

Once your on Mj5 as of right now the most you can do is Root and theme. im Hoping we can get a Odin Package for MJ5 soon so we dont have to worry about bricks and we can start testing more things with out worrying about not being able to recover.
true..root ,theme and debloat ....You would think.after debloating this rom. And using sd read/write values that would increase a decent amount for such a early development.

Hello all.
Im new to the note 3... but not to xda. I dont post much at all. However I do have a rooted skyrocket and give all credit to Vincom. I still read through his threads regularly. I got the s2 when it was the flagship and now ive upped the grade to the next one. I think its wrong of the manufacturer and carrier to charge us a boatload for this device and chain it to the dock so to speak. It seems there is some experience in this thread so I will be checking in often. I also had the mj5 update sneek in before I knew what happened and it does seem that we are all leary of the dread 600$ brick. Thanks to all who dare. You are my hero (s).
