Color NOT important...if superSU app not found , just download it in playstore and run it. You will be prompted to update it and just select Normal to do it

Flash CWM only if you wish to do a full rom backup or test any custom rom - your choice

I tested my friend Note 4 on Lollipop for 2 hours and only issue I had found is Waze cannot work and GPS failed to lock his position !! Sygic and HERE maps works well without any issue. Other commonly used apps he used had no issue. He restored all his apps from his Z Ultra Titanium Backup

Any MHL cable can be used - plenty of choices at EBay. I had a original SONY unit ( still in its sealed plastic) if you are interested - just PM me as the seller replace me with it as I didn't recieve after a month. He just ask me to keep it when the unit finally came in.
However if you want to buy the MHL HDTV adapter , There are 2 types - whatever you buy make sure you get the one suitable for Note 4/S3 onwards and not those earlier types meant for S2/Note 2 ( not sure which type Note 3 used ?) as the head is slightly different ( with different circuitry) though you can still fit in. If unsure I suggest you buy original adapter from Samsung official store. I paid RM 129 for it few years back but I think now should be cheaper. It can be used on all Samsung phones after S3 n Note 4 including current S6 series too

I have Chromecast too n with Solid Explorer chrome cast in playing any videos is now conveniently cast over to TV. However Chromecast loses out in smoothness vs through HDTV output.

My friend is very happy with lollipop on his Note4
He said he hit 7+ hours SOT yesterday
His phone is rooted n on my advise installed greenify pro, DS battery saver n wakelock detector
He couldn't understand why so many users at XDA
complained about battery life on XDA
He is mainly on wifi n only use LTE intermittently
He just showed me his latest record just now
He also asked me about memory leak which is heavily discussed
My answer I don't know exactly what that is n I had never bother with ram usage. I just asked him whether he faced any sudden hanging or freeze or force closures - he said no such issues at all

At 17% battery usage he hit 1.3 hours SOT n projected to empty will be 8 hours
He is in late 60's n doesn't play games n mainly on browsing, Facebook, whatsapp, tweeter n youtubes. He is not a tech guy just a normal user n depends on.me to tweak his phone

On my ex Note4 on kitkat I could only achieved 5-6 hours SOT generally.

I rooted n install for him wakelock detector, greenify pro ( select system app hibernation), DS battery saver ( chose slumberer mode) . On top of that I disabled auto startup of 60+ app using ES Task Manager
That s sufficiently good enough to reduce battery drain on standby
If xposed mod could be used on lollipop battery usage could be even better

Is your phone rooted ?
You will see long list of app waking up phone
Just select app you need n greenify it!!
That is the quick n simple way

Try uninstall n reinstall app??

I don't know about free version as I straight bought the PRO version
In its settings - you can set your stop apps whitelist that will be ignored during killing - for me I set only whatsapp. This feature basically allows phone data to be on when that particular app you set data is coming in

Go to XDA Note 4 Original Android development thread n look for Chain fire root file
Download Odin ( go Google for it) in your windows PC
Off phone n go into download mode ( home+vol down+power button simultaneously ) n connect to PC. Launch Odin n select the extracted chain fire root file in tar format n just select as PDA. Leave everything else intact. Just press start n viola within 30 sec your phone rooted. Easiest n fastest method
Another way is use Odin to flash Cwm recovery ( in tar format) . Than boot into CWM recovery ( volup+power +home button simultaneously ) n select supersu zip
All these files easily found in XDA
You can use these files on both kit kat n lollipop.

How much more simpler are you are looking for ?? Just run an app such as TR root ?? Such apps if can work are known to be have a disastrous effect on your phone as your details are fed over to some unknown server in China ??
Seriously, If you find this not simple enough, just forget about rooting !!

Yes. Just make sure you download correct version n Msian unit is N910c.

It will be a long long wait as developer said Samsung make too much changes on Google firmware.
Anyway just follow my tips given yesterday n you can get substantial increase in battery life . My friend a complete nerd is very happy with his lollipop. Though a nerd he always want latest stuffs on his phone n I helped him always to do it. I was amazed he hit 7-8 hours SOT on his rooted Note4. He basically used the phone for browsing, email, YouTube, tweeter n facebook but mainly on wifi as his home quite poor 3g n no LTE yet.

I greenify practically every app including system app
Don't worry core critical app cannot be greenify even with xposed mod. Only app he wants active remains whatsapp only

Like me we are not interested in such app pushing notifications. I tried to disable these unnecessary n irritating notifications even in my newsfeed app.

Is Vol down. Volup will boot into recovery mode

At least 50% charge is more than enough. I had rooted phones even with 20-30% charge but is a greater risk incase it goes into boot looping

I use Zedge app for my source of nice wallpapers. You can choose from many categories listed
