Issue with app: Alarm Clock Xtreme & Wi-Fi calling problems
Just a follow-up with some important information.
My problem with Wi-Fi calling issues and it kicking me off, suspending the call on the "Dialing . . ." forever, then switching back to Network calls, ect... has been resolved through some extensive measures.
- Factory Reset.
- Started re-installing "some" of my apps thus far.
- App Name: Alarm Clock Xtreme confirmed to be the culprit. Everytime I would install this app, either immediately or soon after, Wi-Fi calling would knock out as described above. Doesn't make sense why an Alarm clock app would react this way other than I did notice in it's "Permissions" list, it has access to things like: Network Connectivity, Wifi... ???
I have done further testing with several versions of mentioned app and it yields the same results everytime. Kills Wi-Fi calling ability on my phone. I couldn't find anything relevant in the app's settings to Wi-Fi or Network access, ect... to toggle and test so I have nixed this app and everything has been well for aprox a full day of testing and continuance of re-adding my desired apps one by one.
No idea if this is a Rom conflict issue or T-Mobile w/ Wi-Fi calling conflict in general but I would advise others IF you likely run into any Wi-Fi calling drops, hangs, kick backs to network, disabling itself as I previously described to check if you have Alarm Clock Xtreme installed.
Here's the PlayStore link to offending app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alarmclock.xtreme.free&hl=en
If anyone desires to test or verify on their end but doesn't really matter as with my setup at least, it screws up Wi-Fi Calling. So wanted to share this information so if any others experience what I've been describing, I found the issue. :good::highfive:
Additional Info: Upon uninstall of said app above, Wi-Fi calling immediately re-engages with Icon re-appearing and test calls going out on Wi-Fi successfully without even requiring a reboot of phone.

With the hundred of alarm clock apps out there I'd just simply not install or use it, good catch.
Totally agree. Just glad I found it out because I was at the point of going Odin to Ank and verifying it wasn't a hardware issue with my phone.
So wanted to get this info out there in case others run into problems similar. I am 100% convinced this app either doesn't get along with this ROM or more likely ANY T-Mobile phone in regards to Wi-Fi calling issues.
Was a pain going "factory" and I'm still re-installing my desired apps very cautiously.
Another side note in regards to your post. The app Sleep As an Android which provides similar Alarm Clock functionality plus additions does in fact work great and hasn't had any ill effects. Play Store Link to free version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep&hl=en
Here's my LMT setup!

I wish I could have worded it that well! These guys are supposed to be so smart, yet it seems they can't figure out to ask their user base what they'd like to see in their software instead of deciding for everyone. You really shouldn't have to download separate app to change up your theme.
Cool, I don't install any of that crap. My stock alarm works fine for me, same with texting apps. I keep it relatively stock regarding apps that are already included in the OS itself...some are good sure, but I run pretty lean and minimally. Easy to get install happy

I did too!! at first...I'm in WA state and thought, why just "Portlandland"???

That's how they make their money. If you have a phone that you could change everything on you wouldn't get tired of it until something with better hardware comes along which is why they aren't going to make it easy for us to do so.
That makes sense! Things are changing now, however, there's really not much more that they can do hardware wise IMO. We don't need a higher resolution screen, I don't think four gigs of ram would make much of a difference, and they've got the sensors all covered. I think what Samsung in particular needs is more focus on user experience, a revamp of Touchwiz, better smoothness, speed and battery life. A real commitment via advertising focussed on showing users how to use Android features. Small touches like bezeless design and front facing speakers. And most of all, stop looking at what Apple is doing!
I don't want 5.0. I have no interest in it at all. There's functionality removed even more so from what I've read (going to silent mode disables the notification light when the screen is off was the biggest one for me, I know it may seem small but I don't like it) and the theme is okay. I doesn't offend me like it does some peeps here lol but it's not a life or death, need-to-get-it thing.
4.3 was fine for me and I only got 4.4 cause I got the Note 4. Xposed works and I use Nova also so I'm gravy. This ROM is perfect and there isn't really any other features I need or want. Tethering works, long battery life, all my radios work... But that dang lady started talking to me on my calculator! ROFL I guess my workaround didn't work, but it's no biggie. Downloaded another app and don't use stock.
Buy yea, I don't want 5.0. 4.4 is perf. There was a report the other day that iOS 9 might just be security fixes and performance fixes. Which is what 5.0 seems like... Well, also a more walled-garden approach. I think we're getting to the saturation point where there's not too much left to do.
Well...as far as TouchWiz goes...you may not have to worry much longer as Samsung is trying to part ways with android altogether & go to Tizen. Now as far as hardware goes there is little to be done except for making better screens,& installing better processors. Oh...& better batteries would also be nice. Lol
I probably would like better optimizations for stock TW. AND stereo speakers on the FRONT. I would love that.
I think the biggest things I like on lollipop are the lock screen notifications, smart lock, the nicer looking quick settings pull down, flashlight quick setting (yes I use that a lot) and thats off the top of my head.
One thing I miss from TW is using the fingerprint scanner for the lock screen.

Never have used fingerprint crap but not in a place I need it either. No kids or anyone playing with device.

My son is 2 so he doesn't go near my phone. I've always used a pin or pattern so fingerprint was just a lot faster.

Thanks IUnlock for the incredibly badass FireKat banner and the other awesome banners ...Hella cool kit
FireKatN4V3 is a custom rom for the T Mobile Galaxy Note 4 N910T
Based on the latest stock Tmobile Base 4.4.4 build N910TUVU1ANJ7 and ANK4 MUST READ OP. ..
***If your familiar with my other FireNote/FireKat Roms for the att Note 3, att Note 2, Note 8.0, Note 12.2, Tab 8.4 Pro, and Galaxy Mega I9205 you can expect the same worry free stability for a replacement of your stock rom, but delivering the power, performance, and battery efficiency the Note 4 should've been producing out of the box. The entire focus of my roms is simply to make the fastest, smoothest, snappiest roms possible, bug free, with thoughtless battery performance. Typical gains are around 50% over stock.
Tmo ANJ7 Base V1 Thru V5 or ANK4 V7 and up on the choice is yours...
FireKat V6 thru V11X must flash Ank4 Base: IMPORTANT READ!!!
FireKat builds after V6 are based on the newer ank4 base rom...YOU MUST ODIN FLASH ANK4 BEFORE FLASHING V6
FireKat V18 thru V21:
Speed improvements
Ram optimizations
FireKat V17XxX took V16X and added some 5.1.1 rendering and touch control mods as well as further refinements to the note 5 ram and Rendering controls...basically it's faster than ever...enjoy
FireKat V18XxXR: essentially refines everything to a razors edge...super fast and efficient...enjoy
Took the V16X build and integrated ram and memory management mods from Galaxy Note 5 and S6 Edge Plus...the speed and fluidity should increase across the board, most beneficially impacted for recent apps, keyboard, app launching, animations and transitions...enjoy
**Native Ad Block Mod may block facebook. Just install adaway and itll overwrite the mod
FireKat V14X:
Added 50 native multi window apps that enable on installing the app
Adding native ad blocking and YouTube ad blocking
Enabled air messages
Enabled scheduled sms
Enabled sms receipt
Enabled mms receipts
Enabled call list call button
Enabled native backup sms message's to SD card
Mainly...overhauled and rebuilt the camera...taking the sharpest clearest most colorful shots with a near instant shutter speed
FireKat V13X:
Basically took new renewing and performance optimizations i learned from building poprocks lollipop rom and brought them over to FireKat...V13X should be as efficient as V11X as all other mods and functions...just added snappiness and fluidity....Enjoy
FireKat V11X:
The main focus of V11X was balancing and optimizing the build in every way possible...planning this to be the final update before lollipop I wanted it as perfectly balanced as possible...it's as fast, efficient, snappy, and stable as I can possibly make it.
Optimizations Focused On:
*Optimized Rebuilt Touch Controller: fastest and snappiest of all FireKat builds to date: the real world feel matches the super high 50k+ antutu benchmarks
*Optimized Power Management: we had a 10 hour screen on time posted on V10...with averages around 6.25 hours with 30 hours standby time which has improved on V11X...further averages and data will be posted as usual as we all use the build for a while
*Optimized App Launching Speed
* Further Refined Ram Management and App Management
*Touchwiz Launcher Speed
*3d Rendering and Animations
*Camera Further Optimized and Refined...people are taking truly stunning shots and V11X will be the sharpest more colorful firekat camera to date
*Keyboard Response and Rendering Speed Boosted as fast as possible
*Further Optimizations to speed up recent apps window animations and remove the delay inherent in the base...almost entirely gone...should be nearly instant
This build was focused on ensuring we had a stock replacement that would go the long haul for anyone wishing to stay on 4.4.4 as lollipop brings many changes not everyone will be fans of....im extremely happy with V11X and totally stoked how it turned out...i cant wait to let it settle in...it def set the standard for my FireKatN4 builds. ..hope everybody enjoys the update and if somehow I can come up with a V12 down the road even after lollipop, possibly from new mods from 5.0 I'll def keep pushing forward with FireKatN4 [emoji106]
Mega
FireKat V10:
Takes everything you loved about V9 and makes it even better:
*Stability: a proper clean flash and you should have zero issues whatsoever...v10 carries on the firekat tradition of thoughtless stability and issue free experience
*Optimized Performance: tbh i dont have a frame of reference to compare it to because I've never used another device that's this fast...just to be completely honest
*Incredible Efficiency: takes things to a whole other level of efficiency. I flashed v10 at 31%, ran thru my setup and used the n4 for over 2 straight hours before I could knock it down enough to charge lol...will give exact increase as I collect the data
*Animation/Transition/2d/3d Rendering: all optimized to the absolute peak...from recent apps, the home button, launching apps, gaming or the ui v10 does everything near instantly without a hesitation or hiccup....it's truly a different experience altogether on v10
**The main feature/focus of v10: completely overhauled the touch response/interaction...no more of that weighted heavy sluggish feel to the n4 screen...especially apparent on my fk builds where the rendering was almost double the touch an while fast I never felt was efficiently matching the roms performance....that's gone now lol...this screen will dance and the easiest of graze smooth as silk...this combine with the known performance of fk has made for a hell of a fun build to set up lol. Enjoy everyone
Oh yea I forget there's a few other browser tweaks and some imagine stabilization mode cleaning ect
Features Of V9:
V9 is an evolution/refinement of V8
Focused mainly on:
Touchwiz launcher smoothness and speed
3d rendering and animation optimizations
Dalvik and cache tweaking: apps launch instantly
Browser Speed tweaks: pages load instantly
Basically a refined version on v8...what else uhh stock n4 boot sound enjoy lol
*Features of V8:
Rebuilt the rom from the base zip
Insanely fast touch response
Rebuilt the 2d/3d rendering
Rebuilt/reoptimized audio quality
Further enhancements to the camera for phenomenal shots and videos
Across the board v8 takes v7 to another level...
*Features of V7:
*Tethering Mod Built In
*Reoptimized Rendering and Animations from new ank4 base
*Rebuilt Tw Launcher: by far the fastest Tw experience I've ever had: completely removed all 4.4.4 animation annoyances..its 4x5 and flying lol
*Volume Modification at Stock Level Increased Gain and Enhanced Sound Quality
*Dalvik and Cache Optimized for ank4
*Slight Power Management Adjustment for ank4 variances to increase efficiency to the max
***To be completely honest V7 like v5 before has caught me off guard as the new mods or enhancements to v7 have taken it to a whole other level...perfect timing for the holidays...enjoy v7 it's already flying an it's only a few hours into my flash
*Features of V6:
For this first build of Ank4 based roms i tried to make v6 as close to identical as I could to give us a baseline over a few days to adjust from...so it should be the same awesome experience as v5 maybe slightly more refined given a slightly newer base and extremely clean build
*2d/3d Rendering Optimized
*Camera Optimized for incredible shots
*Sound quality enhanced and volume natively boosted
*Massive Performance Optimizations
*Same Extreme Performance, Efficiency, and Stability as the FireKat builds you love
FireKat V5: same as v6 for those who would rather stay on anj7
This build has absolutely blown me away...far exceeding not only my expectations but tbh exceeding what I thought was even possible on this device....the speed of everything is instantaneous...
*Fully optimized touch response for the fastest response time I've ever encountered of any touch interface ime
*Rendering and Cache optimized to reinforce the immediacy of launching apps and animations...scrolling thru the ui is a dream
*Completely Rebuilt Tw Launcher: modified to 4x5 layout: all widgets look perfect just an added row vs wasted empty space: rebuilt and heavily optimized this tw launcher is so fast and smooth I can't seem to use anything else since flashing v5 tbh
*Audio Quality Enhancements: re encoded system stock volume as well as posted additional scripts on the op2 allowing you to tailor your audio setup without losing the brilliant sound
*Recent Apps Speed: I placed a heavy emphasis and focus on increasing the speed of the recent apps launcher: it was quick before but on v5 as with the lockscreen, the recent apps menu opens and launches apps at the speed you can physically interact with the screen
*Keyboard Tweaks: as a byproduct of the extreme rendering optimization and overhauling animation, cache, and ui speeds the stock Keyboard is stunningly fast
***V5 is by far the pinnacle of the 100s of roms I've done over the years...its so fast smooth efficient and stable that it even caught me completely by surprise I'm all honesty
FireKat V4:
*V4: takes firekat to a whole new level
*System Volume Modded for headphones, speakerphone, and earpiece: boosted about 10 decibels...sound quality is amazing
*Touch Response Boosted for Instant Feedback
*S Pen Rendering 1:1: Finally Feels Like Real Writing
*Rendering has been sped up across the board: everything is truly instant
*Blocked All Data Mining By System Apks/Apps: saves battery and data use
*Browser Speed and Loading Boosted Drastically Improves Stock Browser
*Hacked Knox Secure Storage and added my own mod in to remove any sd issues from 4.4.4
*Camera and Video Camera Quality Boosted
***V4 is the best build I've ever done or used...by far the fastest smoothest rom of the hundreds I've done before...enjoy
*V3 essentially refines v2, further optimizations to ui animations, tw launcher speed, app launching/switching times, lock screen on /off...everything should be instant on v3...in addition to the better ram management and battery efficiency v3 is def running phenomenal see below for details...
>>Features of V3: ( in addition to V2)
*Modded Secure Storage: should eliminate all sd issues with new 4.4.4: am posting a guide for full user permission to write data sd in op2
*Further Refinement to Dalvik and cache handling
Increase Touch Response
*Mainly was refining v2 which was already incredibly fast smooth and efficient, I made a few polishes here and there as well as focused on elminating any issues on flash
*Average battery loss during sleep on v3 is down to .3% +/- a point per hour...incredibly long standby
*Temperature is slightly cooler than v2 as well
**Basically v3 polished an already great build hope you guys enjoy it
>>Changes to V3:
***I Removed the included root apps that I like to include in this build: no apps will be flashed: they will be hosted in op2 instead/some are easily downloaded from play store
Greenify
Wanam
Xposed Module Installer
Wakelock Detector
Adaway
Youtube Adaway
>>Features of V2 (in addition to V1):
*Optimized Tw Launcher: massive speed boost to the launcher and animations
*2d/3d Rendering: hit 69 fps in quadrant:
*Thermal Temperature on V2 is appx 15 degrees cooler than stock meaning no more annoying screen dimming
*Tethering Apn Premodded Into System
*Battery Efficiency: average .3% per hour during deep sleep
*Full Reinstated Autoreplacement for stock Keyboard
*Removed Patent Restrictions from Autocorrect (apple sue this...lol)
*Rebuilt LPA audio driver so you can still benefit from low battery drain even after installing Viper4Android codec/driver
*Increased call sound quality/speaker quality as a whole
*Modded the camera for even sharper puncher photos/videos...almost unbelievable the photos this thing takes now
*I forget some more crap just enjoy why are you still reading this part lol
>>Removed from V2:
All Knox Stuff obviously was gone in v1
Access Control Tmo
Amazon Shopping
Tmobile TV
Demo Stub Tmo
Elm Agent
Lookout
Penup
***Was going to remove visual voicemail but left it for those who use it...
>>Added to v2:
Aurora Live Wallpaper: ripped from my old Note 1: prolly greatest Lwp ever lol
Nova Launcher
Nova Notifications
Wake Lock Detector
Adaway
Youtube Adaway
Xposed Mod Installer
Wanam
Viper4Android
Quick Boot
**Instructions For Wanam/Xposed in op2
>>Features of V1:
*Deodexed
*Rooted (thanks as always Chainfire)
*Extremely optimized build
*Optimized dalvik and cache controllers for instant app launching
*Removed all lock screen delay: screen goes on and off instantly
*Optimized 2d and 3d Rendering: Framelocked at 60 fps even through most benchmarks
*Removed the annoying exaggerated animations of *TouchWiz on Kit Kat: while I've probably increased the animation speed of stock tw launcher appx double that of stock I'll continue to increase the snappiness with each update
***Heavily Refined Battery Efficacy: 4.5 to 5.5 hours of screen on time at full brightness or about 40 hours total with 2 hours screen on: ( preliminary tests obviously: will update the stats as I gather more data: the battery is a main benefit of FireKat and i am constantly trying to perfect the balance of performance and battery
>>Removed From V1:
***Since V1 was mainly a preliminary build to get feedback I left all but a few apks in
*All Knox Apks removed entirely from the build:also deactivated in the build, framework, and removed all knox lib files...there's not a trace of it left except in the bootloader
**Penup cause it's a stupid app lol
***Idk maybe a couple tmo ones...i will obviously clean out more pointless bloat for v2
***READ BEFORE FLASHING: you have the choice of staying on Anj7 base and flashing v1 thru v5...or updating your base stock rom to ank4 with Odin...then flashing fk v6 as noted below in the instructions...***remember while you can flash v5 over ank4 stock base rom...YOU CANNOT FLASH V6 OVER ANJ7 YOU MUST UPDATE BASE TO ANK4 FIRST...

***Known Issues: so far the only issues have stemmed from either leaving stored fingerprints in the stock rom before flashing. ..this seems to point to the fact that the scans are stored in a cache behind the bootloader to prevent security breaches...but causes scanner issues when flashed. ..clear all stored fingerprints from stock rom before flashing firekat..some have issues wiping internal storage but fixing permissions should fix that
***The other issue is flashing my rom on the wrong base rom/bootloader...if you flash this rom and do not properly flash the correct base you will have problems there is no way around it. Period.

Tips For Optimizing Your Setup In Op2
** My roms typically take a couple days to settle in before reaching full speed and battery efficiency...while they'll feel extremely fast and smooth from the flash they'll increase over about 5 days plateau then remain constant
***DO NOT copy my work, mirror my roms in other threads, or host them on other sites without my prior approval...i took the time and energy to build the rom and shared it with you so don't do me dirty by stealing my work
***You and You alone are responsible for what you choose to do with your Note 4...i am not responsible should you attempt to flash my rom and your Note explodes in your kitchen...you are solely responsible for the choices you make in flashing rooting or even venturing into this lions den
***Now that you're here...welcome hang out and enjoy the ride my threads are quite a bit different than most...
I gotta thank...
**Chainfire: of course for being a boss and getting us root...epic bro
**JustArchi: another boss hooking us up with the tools we need to make the roms we all love
**BigBiff: for getting TWRP done in a flash lol pun intended
**DownWithWindows: thanks bro for updating my scripting tools doing the script by hand got old after about line 2 hahah thanks bro
**Thanks Fritolays for the Canadians deodex base
**Thanks Force70 for being my Canadian info man
**Thanks Jovy for ank4 base deodex
**Iunlock: thanks jazzin up the thread with some really awesome banners an kit
***I hope you guys dig the new wave of FireKat Roms now that they've come to the Note 4...with the Note 4 being the 50th device I have built roms for...and will break the 300 rom mark when i push out v2 sometime over the next few days...ill work to make our note as perfect as possible for us...enjoy
Mega
***>>>***V2 Antutu thanks iunlock
98http://i.imgur.com/bcOjrHa.png
Thanks Ickna11 for the awesome banner
In my op2 I like to share apks, apps, mods, tweaks, ringtones, and hd backgrounds...if you post to the thread I'll add it here to the op2 just below my optimization tips...im always adding kit to this op typically every few days I'll add a new zooper widget, background or apk...enjoy
My personal setup step by step...
For the absolute most optimal setup follow these few simple steps to take FireKat to a whole new level and make your Note 4 run unlike any other...enjoy
I've had so many requests for this here ya go...here's how I do my exact setup...absolutely most optimized possible
....
1. Uncheck Force Gpu Rendering in developer options...about phone, click FireKat VXxX(whatever build your on) 10 times to unlock dev options
2. Use Wanam and Xposed to deactivate Dvsf under Advanced in Wanam...dramatic boost in responsiveness, lower running temp, no screen dimming or cpu throttling
3. Change Animation and Transition settings in developer options...set all 3 from 1.0x to 0.5x. ..another huge boost to responsiveness and speed of any launcher
4. Greenify all downloaded user apps...Dont touch system app/don't activate greenify xposed mod
5. Disable the follow apps
Samsung Push Service
Google Chrome
Google Books
Google Magazines
Google Music
Google Hangouts
Google Plus
*obviously unless you use any of the above
6. Disable google location history and location reporting...doesn't affect maps or g now at all only stops a ton of data mining and wake locks... doesn't negatively impact google maps or now, all functions and cards work. ..just no excess data or location pings
**7. Never use power saving mode...it defeats the optimizations and tweaks I've done to make the battery life so awesome
As for the rest of my setup. ..op2 is a standard...ive done that forever every single flash exactly the same...
Honestly I don't do much else I let the rom do all the work...
For battery life: greenify is all i use...
I greenify everything except widgets like zooper pro, live wallpapers like aurora or ocean weather, root apps like setcpu root explorer ect, ...which is mainly widgets, wallpapers, and root apps...no system apps
*NO TUNERS,CLEANERS, RAM CLEARERS ECT...these are all counterproductive and usually cause more drain than good..
**Also do not freeze or uninstall a bunch of apps from the system. ..it's largely counterproductive and typically causes issues and Jacks with features
***Never use power saving mode on my roms lol...
Optional For Extreme Performance Only at the loss of battery efficiency...
>>>For performance
I use SetCpu App:
interactive governor
2.6 ghz max
1.4 ghz min
Row Io scheduler: by far the fastest
I always change my animations to .5 in dev options
My Themes
I used to theme tw by coding and hated it tbh...because I love changing themes...wanam is by far my favorite mod over greenify setcpu ect...i could so without cpu controller as the roms already so quick...but wanam gives you an insane freedom to theme as you see fit on the fly
Zooper widget pro is def my favorite app becuase of the same reason with wanam. ..the freedom to have the s5 widget on nova or g3/g flex widgets on N4 ect...or the freedom to go off an get creative makes for a one of a kind device....
That's truly the key...i give my setup as a guide for how to lean it out, speed it up ect...but love watching what everyone does with the same blank canvas...
My favorite background ever is none 1 Aurora Live Wallpaper ripped and posted in op2 for everyone...my favorite theme lately has been the beach theme on my n4
S5/n4 AccuWeather are my favorite widgets ever...up with note 1 5 day layout one...but im not a big fan of the centered transparent n4 one tbh
Stock apps:
I'm actually a big fan of the stock Keyboard on n3/n4 that's what I use plus I use the s pen a ton so it's easier...i hate the new sms theme for the most part but love the clean look and use...with apps/services like email and sms browser i tend to a stick with stock becuase i like most of the apps, they're quality, optimized in the build and run well...it's a little different on stock admittedly but on fk
I do have swiftkey and google keyboard. ...new Google keyboard is hideous imo lol
I also have javelin browser for a second browser option
Def us stock camera since i optimized it the shots are just phenomenal...but i do like the lenovo apk i posted in op2 that's a pretty cool point and shoot replica style ui to play with. ..that's the thing with most stock replacements i have or try it's just a secondary give it a shot once in a while thing for the most part for me...i like most of tw and tw apps tbh
The rest of my apps are games or junk...hopefully this covers most of what op2 has in more/different detail plus any additional information you may find useful. ..let me know about anything else you may be interested in...ill be home again after this around 6
That pretty covers my personal setup head to tail lol...any other questions just ask....

FireKat Mods
I modded the 4x4 stock tw launcher as I'm not a fan of 4x4 esp on n4...too much wasted space it looks stupid...imo 4x5 is awesome...i love 5x5 as well but that can make some widgets act screwy...so v5 is 4x5 layout heavily tweaked and fast...here's a modded tweaked original 4x4 layout if you're a fan of it...
To install simply use root browser or root explorer pro
System/priv apps/ simply paste and overwrite the TouchWizlauncher.Apk...set permission of pasted 4x4 launcher and reboot
...will prolly add modded 5x5 as well

***Some of these may or may not be supported on tmo base builds...i know several were not supported or have no function, some are also simply renamed/different toggle code but does the same thing...ie driving/car mode, blocking/do not disturb ect... so if you try one that doesn't work let me know and I'll note it and remove from the list...likewise I'm sure with the s5 and a few other new devices there may be more toggles hidden in kk if you find any that work let me know and I'll add them...enjoy

Mega47IMPORTANT PLEASE READ
Voting time...after so many requests of donations over the past year and a half or so since I've come back and starting posting roms again I've been bombarded by really awesome people wanting to show their appreciation by donating....while I totally love the sentiment i have always declined and refused to take donations...i always felt it was contrary to what xda was originally about when i first got started...back then it would've been unheard of but these days you can't view a page without people literally asking for donations or begging sympathy pay for their "time"...i was always sort of making a "stand" against the change of culture on xda from a community to an us and them separation of devs and users...my threads are all mini communities unto themselves and that's the way I like it...so now thst you understand my reasoning why I never tool them and considering these are literally my personal roms i would use/build either way it's not like I'm going out of my way but thr thread and support and updates and improving ect is all time consuming and complex so i totally understand the trade off...
My proposition for opening a donation box is this. ..i will open the box and as money gathers give periodic updates about the amounts then when we reach a certain monetary goal I will buy a flagship device...a note 4 exynos 64 bit compatible a57 next gen cpu monster, or galaxy s6 in a few months, or a tab s 8.4 ect...build a one-off custom kit including a full custom rom, my personal setup, completely optimized and customized with my personal method and setup, my favorite apps included ect...
Then I would do a raffle...completely Fajr...unbiased based on a system we all agree on that would entire you in for the raffle with a single 1$ donation...then the winner would get the device. ..if the account racks up more and more money I'll continue to do cool device raffles with my personal builds setup and tweaked by me just for the winner....if you agree and support this idea hit the thanks on this post...if you disagree please post a response and I'll def consider your argument...it's not guaranteed, my mind is not made up, and this will never be a focus of my threads or even my profile lol...i never planned to make money off this that's never been the goal so i think this is a cool fair way that would benefit everyone involved. Let me know your thoughts
Mega
