Verizon has a promo deal today and I currently have a note 4. Can't root it and missing customizing
What am I losing by switching from note 4? 3 less megapixels..I guess I'm in the impulse mood lol.
Any issues with it currently?
im thinking about a pot of gold.. but i guess that doesnt matter at all. oh, btw, questions go into the q&a/help section, not into general. ill ask a mod to move the thread there
I used to have a note 4, and also really missed customizing my phone. I then sold it and bought my nexus 6 which rocks. I think all those gimmicky features on the note 4 are not really worth it.

If you want customization options, then you want a Nexus. Though xposed is limited currently, the custom ROM development is outstanding. This is one of the easiest devices to root/ROM and as long as you read and follow the guides, it is very hard to brick. Read the sticky roll up thread in the general forum and look for the beginner's guide. A great place to start.

I came from a Note 3. I never used all those touchwiz features. I don't miss a thing from the note 3.

haha well i changed my mind after just purchasing a Gear S yesterday and realizing what im losing going to a Nexus
Well if you like stock android the nexus 6 is a good switch. I came from a nexus 6 to a g flex2 to a note 4 and i like having a skin on top of android. I didn't really like the bone stock android but everyone is different. The camera is great with hdr + on but all the videos seem very fuzzy when compared to the other devices i owned.

The less thanks you have the better. It's an indication of how little you know. Usually people that don't know much will have high number of thanks.
Of course we thanked them but it was like we were pushed to thanked them
Sent from my GT-S5570L using xda premium
It used to be a juvenile status thing, but it's an accepted practice now apparently....
I feel sad for people who ask for thanks in each and every post and don't usually thank them if they explicitly ask for it.I feel that it has to be earned rather than coerced
I usually thank if the post is well explained, or if it makes me laugh
Yeah I thank when I get a chuckle out of someone's post. I don't understand why everybody keeps asking for them.
wow and i just thought it was a way to over compensate for having a small peener or small fun bags... (ok not-so-fun bags since they are small...)
I see it more of as a remainder than a forceful act and also to reduce unnecessary posts which only include thanks. And once you get your answer you don't even bother to say thanks even after being reminded,Like maximum members will not say or click thanks by using a ROM from certain modder/developer.
I think that's just human tendency to do so.
Anyways one click wouldn't really matter but then again its up to you.
I would rather click it for anybody who helps me in anyway.
I think this forum should be used for something more creative than such useless discussions.
We get a lot of support and learning for free from here, I say its equally important that we respect the place.

+1 For that
If you want to get help and someone with 2 or 3 thanks answers and then there is answer from another guy who says exactly the opposite but he got let say 200 or 300 thanks, then who would you believe is right or more trustworthy?
What's more some people invest their time, to create things, to upload things or even search for things if others are not good in it or sometimes even too lazy to do this by themselves. Pressing thanks doesn't hurt In the end nobody is forcing you to do it. If someone asks for it, then treat it like a gentle reminder to express your gratitude.
Thanks meter is a human tool that indicates gratitude for someone
In straight words guys:
If i had a severe problem,and someone help me to solve it,i will not mind thank him a thousand times regardless of his no of posts or thanks or status... come-on people its not money, its a human thing that make thousands of people continue helping others,just say thanks to who help u,by button by a post by a pic or even buy a pm it doesnot matter the way, just say it and dont be selfish

Thanks button as a tool reduces number of unnecessary posts. Thanks meter gives indication as to the poster's reliability. Rest is up too individual users, some may indeed perceive the number as a social status indicator and pursue higher rankings, some may ignore it. Still it doesn't matter, as long as the mutual help happens.

Thanks everyone!
Edit: to give some meaning to this post. To me, a little thank you is just an incentive to keep on trying to be helpfull. It doesn't even have to be the Thanks button, a simple "thanks, it worked" or "thanks for the info" is just nice to read if you take the time to try and help someone.

Now, where's my thong..
(I would thank that post, but i'm out of thanks for today)
Isnt it just to say thanks without actually writing thanks and flooding a thread with pages upon pages of thanks? Thats what i always thought.
So i got a Nexus 7 so i'm kinda leaving these forums (Like you care ) Now, for "the words on my mind", the Android Development section in here is really messy, full of "WinZip" roms and a little tweaking, and don't get that angry about this post, if you would think about this, you would agree with me I know they are starting, and they are beginners but c'mon look at TheWhisp He started to learn by not posting any "WinZip" roms and just researched a lot and where did it get him? Being an awesome dev that's where it got him. Think about things that i said in here. And i hope you all farewell
Sincerely,
Netas3k
that's absolutely right! everyone can do it, but there's no reason to post those frankensteins here... i was doing the same, put some tweaks and apps to cm7, change few graphics in framework and systemui to my likings, center the clock, but i never posted anything like that because it's pointless...

Yup, that's true. About 90% of stuff in dev thread is nothing but just themed crap which everyone can do yourself. Even I did some experiments and learning stuff but that's no reason for me to post some crap and say " This is my first ROM. I am learning right now. I added this ............ crap. Hope you like it. ...........................PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON."
Seriously I don't know what they get from this. I remember some guy recently posted Lunar UI ROM. (Totally useless. Just you need to add a theme and icon pack and you are done). No offence but that is really not worth saying custom ROM.
DQiB man. Irritating kid. First he spams the dev section with 6-7 cooked roms and now he posts a tutorial for others to spam the dev section :| even though he got banned, he should get an IP ban.

Maybe, this is the reason we got an "Original Android Development section". No cooked ROMS or ports are allowed there. Its all about "Build from source"
Yep, that's why XDA made the Original Development forums, but that wouldn't have been necessary if there were A LOT less of those "WinZip" roms, or even if there were none.

I have been having lag issues since upgrading to 4.2
I been lurking around the post looking for answers but nothing I've tried has worked so far. There is lag everywhere- from the lockscreen to opening an app to closing an app to pauses and freezing in browsers (i use 4 diff browsers with no real preference), and tonight I was frustrated enough with the slowing buffering in the YouTube app that I'm now posting this.
If I don't fix this soon I'm just going to sell it. I put up with lag on my Samsung Fascinate for 2 years and I thought those days were behind me. Ugly lockscreens I can live with- lag I CANNOT.
I tried rebooting after update. I even shut down and let it sit awhile an hour later.
I tried clearing the cache from the new option in Settings
I tried some app from the market that adds blank files and delete them (cant remember what its called right now) EDIT: Its called Forever Gone and its in the Google Play store.
I don't have time to read thru tons of postings to find the answers- so hopefully I can get consolidated answers in this post.
I've never rooted or ROM'd this device. Its been flawless since the day I bought it until the update. I am not looking for people to chime in saying theirs works great. I just want helping on getting this device back to buttery smooth please.
EDIT: Thanks to idevice12345 post, I found that my lag problem stemmed from Google Current's sync feature. Turning that off in Google Current's settings and rebooting has fixed 99% of my lag. Hopefully that helps others-- getting help around these forums is a nightmare. Self appointed knuckleheads trying to derail our information highway.
Holy hell NO ONE CARES!!!

Okay, since your pretty much begging at this point, try this, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kovit.p.forevergone&hl=en. If that doesn't help download stock 4.2 and backup your apps and re flash 4.2 and re install your apps one by one to see if one of them is causing the lag.

I am baffled that I am getting blasted for this. I re-read my first post again and besides sounding a little snotty because I wanted to get straight to the point (which I did), I don't see where anyone could think it was a hate on 4.2 thread.

I saw that after my post and im at the rebooting part. But thanks. You really need to find a different hobby because you look like the troll to me. I posted this to the General forum and as far as I'm concerned its the appropriate place to look for help.
I am baffled that I am getting blasted for this. I re-read my first post again and besides sounding a little snotty because I wanted to get straight to the point (which I did), I don't see where anyone could think it was a hate on 4.2 thread.
Again, am asking for help. Thanks.

You should look at my post again. I was replying to someone with that picture.

Ya I know titanium backup and I use it but it doesn't do it all. Look I'm not new here or some idiot. I don't know why your trying so hard to jump my ****.
Do you just hang around blasting everyone you can to get your post count up?

The only option I see is sync. Nothing about background apps. And so far it did it up some but it could of been the reboot too. Still testing.

Seriously do you even want help? I posted something to help you and you haven't even seemed to see it.
BTW, I dont really think your argument works. VM doesn't need to make stupid posts to get his post count up. He has made plenty of legit posts to do that.

Okay, since your pretty much begging at this point, try this, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kovit.p.forevergone&hl=en. If that doesn't help download stock 4.2 and backup your apps and re flash 4.2 and re install your apps one by one to see if one of them is causing the lag.

Thanks. Yeah thats the program (Forever Gone) that I tried, that I mentioned in the first post. Just didn't know the name of it. I guess I could run it a 2nd time and see if that helps? Can't figure why a 2nd time would be nessesary tho- I'll try anything at this point.

I just hadn't tried the suggestion yet and I was testing from the other guys help. I do want help, but what I got was a couple of forum trolls who think they are Boss around here. At least thats how your coming across. I don't need to kiss anyones ass for answers. Your all I got at the moment and I'm working thru it. Your just refreshing and posting faster then I'm getting to it all.

★[ROM][PORT][4.2.2][July 5] Hyperdrive RLS5.7¯`•._ ║ Tweaks ★ [UPDATED!]
This ROM is still a WIP. I have been able to flash this successfully myself but others have expressed issues with phone FC's. I am currently looking into this issue to find a solution.
Here's another port for you guys, should be functioning right out of the box as I already patched in the data fix.
As usual if you flash your phone you know the risks, be careful.

Well, this is the problem. If he didn't get permission from the dev, it's against XDA rules. Plus, the dev told me personally that he was planning on bringing this ROM to the Sprint variant "soon", so I don't want us to piss him off resulting in him changing his mind.
Trust me, I love the ports because of the options they bring, but I don't want us all sitting in the dark 3 months from now because we pissed off all the devs that were planning on bringing their ROM's to us.
I realize that I'm taking a very unpopular position here, but I'm thinking long term here.

I agree, it is unpopular. .Im with mjs, No harm in making sure permission was given. It is how its done. mjs has been around long enuff to know how this works, and trust me he means no disrespect. I was wondering the same thing, theres been more than a few feathers ruffled recently.No harm in making sure
Definately didn't ask permission and i am planning on bringing the rom to all 4 carriers and prefer to have a unified thread instead of small branch off ones
But Carry On, i dont care if you keep this up now, but when i post my official build i would appreciate if you take it down

Fired off a PM late last night while the upload was running it may not have made it if it didn't I apologize.
In the PM I mentioned I had planned on keeping the port updated until official support came in which case I would remove the port.
Sorry about that sbreen, my connection at home is nothing short of horrendous.

I'm quite aware of how things work around here, as my join date precedes mjs'.
Please reference the two posts above regarding permissions.

Yep, glad you're understanding of poor connections lol.
By the way, there's another release of Hyperdrive I have to port now that was just released today. Darn it Sbreen! lol
Thanks all, definitely a better conclusion than I expected.
Again, not trying to be a jerk, just don't want us all getting in trouble!

I understand, and I agree with what you're saying about permissions which is why I tried PMing sbreen but my connection failed me.
Good news is sbreen is a cool dude! Now download this puppy and make sure the ports working right!

Thank you for being a kool dude as well as an awesome Dev
This is XDA at its best.
Agreed. Thanks all. Glad again that this worked out well.
I'll give 'er a whirl tonight!
I had the same question about asking sbreen for permission when I saw that you posted this. But had the same idea of.only having it up until it brings it over officially to Sprint. Anyways thank you both for bringing this.

Settings - Backup & Reset.
You will see the reset options and maybe a name of the backup account.
You need to know the account name and password.
When the N6 is reset. It will ask to sign in with a Google Account that was*previously*synced on this device.
This is the anti-theft stuff of Google.
but it wont revert to stock ROM, only delete the user data

you have to flash a factory image while using fastboot, while in your bootloader. its that simple. if you dont know how, then read/research before you do it. if you still cant figure it out, you dont deserve a nexus.

sorry, i didnt want to sound harsh, really. but you probably can use a root toolkit as well, if you dont feel like learning anything about your device.

why do you want to start an argument?

That was still an insulting and baseless statement. Maybe he just wants a pure Android experience. Saying that if he doesn't understand hacking his phone or want to, then he doesn't deserve a Nexus, is exactly the terrible and snobbish attitude you'd expect from a devout iPhone user.
Don't you find it a bit ironic that you ask HIM why he wants to start an argument, when he's following up on a statement you started that was clearly meant to be derogatory? [emoji19]

It doesn't matter if it was a minute or 100 hours after the fact, two of the comments made were out of line. I was intimidated and afraid I would do something wrong the first time I tried to flash a ROM and I'm really glad I didn't get the responses that taita did or I'd probably never came back.

For me it's only a metaphor.
The point is use fastboot . The utility of Google to manage and flash our Nexus.
