Just flashed Wannam's rom WanamLite XXU1ANJ4 V1.0
I had already done a backup of the official stock rom previously using ChengLu CWM
EFS - IMEI backup also done previously
I only needed to wipe cache partition only and all my data remains intact
Developer recommend to wipe data only if moving over from other custom rom
Rom installation smoothly done without any errors
Will test it out and report any issues

Rom screenshots BEFORE and AFTER

btw..anyone use 240dpi on Note4 yet? does it to be rooted to change that dpi thingy somewhere in the system file (forgot what filename)
*
The parameter is ro.sf.lcd density value
You can locate this at /system/build.prop
Your phone must be rooted n just change value using any text editor

I had been using Wannam rom past 6 hours and must say is very stable. I had yet faced any issues with it. I had even tweak some phone settings stuffs with Wannam Xposed. Good rom for those who need further tweaks on their phone.

mine usually 6.5 by 15 % or so. btw wanna ask, whenu say ur phone is 41 degrees, what app are u using to see that? Bcoz its perfectly normal for the CPU to be 41 degrees at idle. The batt temp would be about 33 degrees or less at idle. I think uncle benny is talking about his batt temp and not the cpu temp....
*
Correct : is battery temperature

And anyone try to change Dalvik to ART? How it is performing? Because my phone really damn hot after changing to ART, even the metal body like it is burning. And during the transition, I put on my bed and under it was so hot. Even on idle. I'm afraid something bad will happen to my phone. So I change back to Dalvik. Is ART stable?
*
ART is not stable. I don't even want to try it
What is so hot ? What battery temperature are you recording
I don't know how familiar you are with high spec smartphone : hot means 50 degree C n above. Normal usage 36-40 degree is common
Your description of hotness is frightening
The phone can easily sustain temperature up to 60 degree C but I had yet to hear such temperature recorded.

The phone is so hot like burning. This problem happens when I change to ART. The problem dissapears when changing back to Dalvik. The hotness I experience using Dalvik is when the weather is hot. The phone easily get hot even even it is idle. smile.gif
*
Phone idling temperature should be around 28-32 degree C. Is only hot when using GPS n phone being charged at same time 40-45 degree C
Can you monitor your temp instead saying very hot
If is so seriously hot I suggest you send in service center to check

joytest : More than 2 days already I had disabled the IndexService file . Had not seen any problems/issues with it disabled. I could still access all my PDF files easily ( about 400 MB)
Had also never seen this app appearing as any wakelocks or in app sucker list with GSam battery Monitor app

Will root disappear after I factory reset?

No. Your supersu app might be gone but root remains. Just download back the supersu app from playstore

sup guys

i recently bought a note 4 at harvey norman and got a free note 4 s-view cover. but the cover is not like what i saw online. the cover is flat like the previous cover for the note 3. the new version should be cushioned a bit. is my cover fake or what?
*
There are 2 versions of the S View cover . One is flat surface while the other is with indents on the surface
Most fake S View covers you can only view the window details and you cannot interact directly with screen through the window

Thanks for the answer. I have just disabled it and hope it doesn't have effect on other apps.

It won't affect the phone. I disabled that plus many other Samsung stuffs ( including its TW launchers) - all app or widgets I never wish to use
SPen functionality still remains with Nova Launcher

Mind sharing what stock apps are safe to disable and what 3rd party apps are better replacement? Roughly how much % battery saving effect does it has on your GN4 by disabling these stock apps?
*
You can disable any app you don't wish to use. Only core app even if you want to disable system will disallow. It is generally safe to disable if system allows it
The thought of phone being unsafe never ever occur to me. I had been doing such in all my Androids for past 7 years already
Just try it yourself
If you need more features to disable stuff root phone n used titanium backup to do it
Disabling app will not allow it in background
I cannot tell you how much battery savings you will have. I disabled such stuffs to have a better smoother experience n not so much for battery savings . And I simply hate to see those app which I never wish to use in my app drawers list

Do you normally greenify your browser ?

I find that it's my most used app but then at the same time it's kept in the background whenever I want to use it.

Do you think I should put it into my white list in greenify ?
*
I never greenify my most commonly used app. For browser I use only boat n other browser such as chrome, default browser n dolphin I hibernate them

Thanks for the enlightenment.

If I could disable an unwanted stock app in the phone's application manager then I would not need to root my phone and pay for titanium backup to disable it unless I want to save some space in the phone's real estate by removing the program, isn't it? Is there any difference?
*
TB allows you to disable most app unlike stock TW in app setting is very limited
You can try n find out yourself

Is stock rom ...but Im flashing other country stock rom...is that why i cant get network?

You can try this trick from this website. No idea whether it will work for Note 4
Remember always do a EFS -IMEI backup first next time and make a nandroid backup with CWM recovery before flashing any rom in future

Restored back to official firmware using ChengLu CWM from Wanam rom. Did it just to test restore function. Restoring took about 15 mins vs 20+ mins backing it up
Phone has been working well since restored
