Galaxy Note4

No brother it didn't work..at reboot keeps reverting to fricking "find my device"..que pereza..I've spent hours and hours already on that..and that's for nothing..i fricking hate Google so much, bro....
 
I think I just got to the bottom of it..the problem was the Google play services version..I believe the one I had has the persistent power to choose for you..so I went to a lower version(even I was in a much lower already)..and I believe it fixed it(I fricking hope so)..but with this google ps mother F..you never know
 
Ok I think I got down..before if i made it disappear then after reboot it would come back and on top of that checked..

..now after reboot, it does come back but unchecked!

..with the persistent version I wasn't even able to uncheck it..it would freeze my system and the life 8 seconds later fc but it would not uncheck at all!!!

In fact I don't even need Rom Toolbox for this..it comes just like that..

As long as it's uncheck that all that matters
I had to move Rom Toolbox to priv-app. The funny thing is it survived a couple of reboots but latter when I check again there it was and the boxes were checked. Once I moved it to priv-app (system) it remains unchecked.

I know I've mentioned this before but I find these features extremely useful.

I like it!, I might try it..you are always full of goodies!!!
 
Hey bro, an issue has arised..I have Textra(i cloned, though..to my liking)..so every times I get a text and my phone is with the screen off..it brings it on..even inside the app I have the setting to never turn on when receiving a text..

Also with the app I just installed today the AppOpsXposed I set it to don't turn it on..but still does turn it on..

One thing I think causes it is the side bar we both recently installed..but I don't wanna get rid of..
 
Hey, been testing this rom for about four days already..

2020-11-06 11.45.08.jpg


..and quiet frankly I am surprised, amazed and very content..first of I had not expectations with this one..I thought it was going to be same old story as the previous one(battery always so hot always in the 98s°f or up..always rebooting some times about twenty times a day and one after the other like eight times consequently..freezing like crazy).

And to my surprise this new rom is completely totally the opposite..battery runs between 87° - 91°f..it has rebooted on its own about once or twice..has freezed maybe once or twice..I've dumped massive amounts of user-apps(xposed & non-xposed) into priv-apps and doesn't treap.
This is the best back up ever out of this novel Note4..it's been quiet a journey, bro..

The only one little thing I'm not satisfied on it..well you know..not hotspot..but that isn't this rom issue..my phone came already faulty that way when I got it..I think is the system 6.0 that made it act that way.

I'm just getting my act together(just like J Trump says..lol)..collecting data..taking a very deep breath to do the surgery..I'm going to port a T-Mobile Note5 running on 6.0 jar into my baby...trying to read you again and again for little error rate.

I was tempted to flash the detux version of it..what you think?, I thought you mentioned you were about to get rid of your detux for some kind of faulty??

Javi, I think the performance of the system and the rom of a phone has a lot or even everything to do with the Google Play Services..I've noticed when the wrong version of it, the phone freezes, slows down, lags, sophocades in memory and a thousand other symptoms..

What's the right version for your phone, or mine, or our neighbor???, I don't know..I think it varies..I also think certain devices aren't made for some "advanced" versions of an app..and that app Google Play Services has became so super heavy..so ridiculous..too much I would have to say.

I'm not a genius, but I bet you that fishy, pesqui, bogus app is the reason number 1 world wide why most Android devices don't work well.

Since I hoard various versions of all apps I collect..I happened to have several of the Google Play Services..so seemed I always was in the wrong one..two days ago(for some reason out of my control) had to I changed to the one I'm in today..feels this is it.
 
No brother, you are correct on that..I also figured since I had deodex it would fix me up..to the contrary..it bricked me four times..lol..I learned my lesson to don't fall for that trap a fifth time..they really need to remove the link from there..remember I told you that?
 
Thats unfortunately, there were mixed results.

Do you use a downloaded launcher or just the stock touchwiz? I know I've suggested GRX Touchwiz home mod V8 before so forgive me for posting the link again. Its just that I find it to be a big improvement of stock Touchwiz. I always hated the page indicators above the dockand the huge icons

GRX Touchwiz mod V8

I used Desk Top Visualizer to make the icons in the dock invisible. GRX toremove thr page indicators.
