Art on Vzw note4 - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Switched runtime to art.. After 2 reeboots this thing flies... Only small problem upon each reeboot it optimizes about 100 apps. Dont know how to fix it. But wow this phone got huge boost.
Anyone know how to fix optimizing apps?

I'd love to know that also. I tried ART once and the optimization thing turned me off so I switched back.

I tried Art when I had my rooted S3, it always updated the apps on a phone restart. I don't think anyone found a fix. Doesn't Lollipop run on Art? Maybe there is a fix.

Yep until L comes I would suspect it's this month just don't know the date but "ART" gives this phone huge boost..

Gonna give art a try now.
EDIT: Immediately went back. s health and mainly pandora doesn't work with it. Not to mention as you guys said, the optimization of apps after a reboot takes at least 10 minutes which is horrible. I didn't think it'd be thattt bad. I remember my moto x would only take a couple minutes. Guess just have to wait till Lollipop.

I switched back. Its hard to say.. Because reboot took like 10 min.

From what I've read ART on KitKat is experimental and not the same implementation as lollipop. I had it switched on here too and got some apps that didn't work so switched it back

Lag on Vzw HTC OnE??

Hey guys I just got my HTC One and I have read forums and articles where they say that the HTC One doesnt have any lag. Well idk if I got a defective phone or something but my One has definite lag sometimes especially on the launcher. Does anyone else experience this or is my phone F'd up?
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk 2
Now and even when I was on the stock rom, the day it launched, I never got any lag. It might be caused by an app you have running in the background. I wouldnt be surprised if some of the verizon/htc bloatware is causing the lag.

Lag is perception with recent phones. If you think you see something you'd brain believes it... Or you have a defective unit.

Go to Settings > Apps and slide the screen over to "Running" in there you can see what is currently being used by your phone. It will also show you how much RAM is currently being used.
It might also help uninstalling some of the apps you do not use, like facebook, g+ or whatever else is something not in use. Once we get the write privileges fixed you will be able to remove things like HTC Car and other apps that are installed to the system partition but not actually required for the phone to function.

I'd definitely exchange it. Are you using the car app? If not, it shouldn't be doing anything. And every review says this phone has no lag. The only time i see lag on my note 2 is when play store is updating crap in the background. Always slows things down.

Well actually I tried something and I went back to using a task killer and it seems to be doing the trick. Got rid of the lag and the car app no longer shows up on the running apps. Idk works for now, hopefully we can get this phone unlocked so I can start getting this thing to it's full potential

okay a crappy video showing lag when launching some apps.my g3

Topic can be removed. Issues fixed after restart
Aw that sucks. It took a few extra seconds to open an app(which varies in time to open since it's loading content which is up and down at any given millisecond).
What a pile.

seems the apps that take a while to launch for me always shows a gray screen first for quite while then the app loads .
but like i said it seems to launch slower over time. and restarting is the only way to get it back to open faster.
i tried killing apps in background and freeing ram still opens same.

This happened to me a few times. A reboot or force closing TW usually fixes it. I think it's a bug with TW. Hoping an update comes soon.
yeah i thought it was a bug but hopefully 5.0 comes next month .. just been doin that "reboot" and everytime i come back its a different icon that's not there .. truly dont want to reset everything and do a wipe.

Switching back to dalvik fixes it.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using XDA Free mobile app
Art is a system runtime which is faster but it is not working on our phone at the moment.
A stock phone should be on dalvik but check to make sure anyway because art causes weird things to happen to touchwiz.
thanks for the info .. i havent looked into all that .. maybe i read it the other way around ART is the bad one .. but i know my phone is on ART becuz i figured it went with the new Spen features

[Q] New CM12 Nightly Questions

So I flashed the first version of CM12 and was very pleased with the speed and such but there were quite a few bugs. One thing I experienced was the phone app hung on me a couple times and I couldn't get back to the phone app after multi-tasking. Another thing was the status bar pull down was very buggy and sometimes wouldn't pull down, go back up, let me select a notification, etc.
Has anyone used the newer ones to know that these items are fixed or no longer an issue?
Similar problems here. Waiting on upcoming builds to see if they're addressed.

Nice! Let me know if it's daily driver status yet, I use my phone for work and take phone calls all day long and can't be restarting my phone after every call, lol.
Its my daily driver
but anyone else notice updates need to be flashed manually in TWRP?
Yes same here don't know what is going on
With CM 12, is there any way WiFi Calling/Texting can be implemented? I know it's a T-Mibile feature, but knowing it's a T-Mobile issued G3, I believe it's more possible than other carrier CM 12.
1/28 seems to have broken tap to sleep. Tap to wake still works
Edit....
Fixed in 1/29 [emoji4]

Not until the nexus 6 gets the update for the WiFi calling,would it be remotely close for us. And even then there is no guarantee that it would work on this phone.

Well I flashed the 2/03 nightly and it's still having the same issues...
It runs flawlessly until I make a phone call, then the status bar gets stuck pulled down. I can't get back to the call to end it, select anything from the status bar or slide the status bar up. Sometimes it fixes itself but mostly I have to restart the phone. I flashed Illusion for now and other than the screen not turning on when I pull the phone away from my face while on a call it's working really well.
I'll try CM in another week or so.
Hey guys, I got the official CM 12 upto date rom on my G3. My question is that is there any way I can get the tap to wake the display back on my G3.

Just go in the settings, it's in there in all CM ROMs.
It's under Display or just use the settings search bar and search the word TAP.
Thanks Jason, its working flawlessly.

The recent apps menu did look like it opened faster but everything else seemed very laggy and jittery. Maybe it's just the video, but my Note 4 is a lot smoother than that one.

The kernel seems to indicate that it's a rooted version and maybe it's debloated and that's why it's snappier..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk
Mine isn't snappier. At all. Maybe on the kernel, but even that wouldn't explain the absolute zero lag on recent apps. My buddy's rooted Note 3 is nowhere near that. Even it has a "little" lag.

My Wife and I got a pair of Note 4's PRIOR to Lollipop. We both upgraded to 5.0.1
She is of the "I dont like messing with it" I have downloaded most every launcher, got involved in themes etc.
Other than disable the bloatware (fitness, milk, ant, etc.) I want to say her phone is so blazing fast I cannot even comprehend why it is so fast compared to mine. I have factory reset mine ( hers no) but that thing is what all phones should be like..
Q: On an Android system does it have something like a defrag like computers? Why would hers be faster than mine? Ideas?

I'm pretty sure the reason is becuase you have a lot more apps on your phone, starting with a different launcher.
I don't know why Android does this (or is it the app developers causing it?)...but a lot of apps load into memory whether you run them or not. Less memory available = slower performance. This is why I was disappointed when the Note 4 came with 3GB instead of 4GB of memory.
I have a lot of apps on my phone, and especially if multitasking it is quite laggy (for example, when I go for a walk, I'll be playing music through BT, and have MyTracks running to track the walk. If a text comes in, it has a very long lag before it opens).
This is the reason I'll likely be replacing my Note 4 with something else soon.
Well, I so have a TMobile N4 on the way. Plan to root, and install a KK ROM. Been researching on the TM Dev site, and there appears to be a great one there. Everybody touts the speed and battery performance.
That being said, the topic of 5.1.1 came up. One of the folks there had just got the T3 version of the N4 wiht 5.1.1, and he said as far as he is concerned, no ROM necessary. Says it flies. No comparison.
So, hopefully, 5.1.1 will be here on AT&T before long.
I switched back to stock launcher, removed a few weather widgets and a few less used apps and now mine flies.
I guess we have been lucky, we have never experienced any battery issues or any other things spoken of during this 5.0.1 update.
The only issue we have ever had is the issue with wifi vs 4G LTE. When you reach an area with wifi it sees the signal, wont connect due to not having the pw and the phone becomes useless unless wifi is turned off or you leave the area. Still waiting on speedify to come through with its beta.
D
I decided to try the stock launcher after reading your post. It is hard to believe how much faster it is. I miss the customization but love the extra performance. Hope I can figure out why the stock launcher keeps crashing once in a while.

After reading this, I thought I'd give it a try. Jeebus! Okay, so maybe the problem is more Nova Launcher than my actual Note. The downside is, I love Nova! I use the gestures and such constantly. And my phone stays in landscape position all day. Has anyone had success with other launchers?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using XDA Free mobile app
It's weird how different these phones are. I've been using nova prime for about 2 months now. Went back and used stock Touchwiz launcher for a day or so and was thinking how jittery it was compared to nova. Went back to nova.

Yeah, after an hour of using TW, the recent apps lag was back. Switched back to Nova, no lag. For a few minutes. So much for that. Does anyone know exactly what the nature of the "memory leak" in 5.0.1 is? This must be related somehow.

Just curious, for both of you. I do not have my power saving mode turned on. There is a tab there that restricts cpu performance if its on.
JFYI...This past week I got a T-Mobile Note 4. Rooted it, installed a 5.1.1. ROM, and it is much faster. I too use Nova Launcher.
Battery is great too. I typically do an overnight / screen off test to get a general feeling of battery performance.
My AT&T Note 4 overnight with power saving off, wifi on, BT on, used just under 5% / hour. The TM one with same conditions lastnight used .73% / Hour. Yes...less than 1% / hour. I'm seeing quotes over in the ROM thread of 5-6 hours SOT.
I was ready to ditch the Note 4. Not now.
