Hey, Megalomanic,
I'm new here and I was interested in your Roms but I saw that you have two Roms, the fire note and fire kat..
I read on both threads and couldn't really distinguish the difference. Will you or any other users tell me what the difference/pros and cons are for both of them? I'm on a limited internet data and I only have the bandwidth to download one.
FireNote is 4.3 jelly bean only...FireKat is for kit kat 4.4.2 nc2...you can only use one or the other anyway...just depending on the base your on...enjoy man

What widget is that? Nice looking setup
It's a very slight mod to Mega's 5 day widget.

Dude that looks killer man I love that setup [emoji106] ...how did you get the on screen buttons? a launcher?

Mega
Xposed gravity kk.
It occasionally causes some minor issues, but worth it to me.
I have the cap buttons turned off, physical home still works, but is recessed under the glass screen protector, so I can easily grab either bezel without accidently hitting buttons.

And the background was a photo taken with the n3 on the way to work yesterday...

    FireKatN4V20/N4 Include:

    The ultimate FireKat build ever...including bits of kit from pretty much every great flagship galaxy device over the past 15 or 20 months lol...there's a mind bending amount of new kit added to V18N4...enjoy

    FireKat V19:

    V19 continues the refining process...trying to improve and enhance the rom as optimally as possible...

    N4 touch controller rebuilt
    Sound quality and volume adjusted
    2d and 3d Rendering enhancements
    Camera enhancements and sharpening
    Incredible responsive feel and real world speed to v15


    V14 N4 Basically Improves On V13X
    Note 4 Touchscreen Controller Further Tweaked
    Faster S5 Tw Launcher
    Enhanced Sound Quality
    Basically it's just trying to make firekat nc2 as perfect as possible...imo this is the pinnacle of battery efficiency and performance for out note 3...

    V13X introduces a custom script I came up with derived from my note 4...completely rebuilding the touch interface controller and module took the speed if v11 to another level beyond anything I thought n3 was capable of. ..while also increasing battery performance slightly...mean a faster more efficient refined build of v11 an already rock solid super fast build...enjoy

    V13X Also enhanced the sound quality and increased the volume across the board at the system level. ..this is not a mod but a rebuilding of the audio codecs and scripts


    V11: Rebuilt from the base Deodex to try an get any possible improvement out of a fresh cleaned Optimized build

    Features of V11:

    Browser and New Speed Tweaks
    Dalvik Cache refined and increased
    Further Refined Camera and Audio
    Removed Any and All Data Logging
    Battery Should Be Slightly Improved
    This should truly be the ultimate FK...

    V10: truly the pinnacle of my Firekat builds... one of the cleanest/fastest roms I've ever done...everything has been refined and optimized to the perfect a balance that i believe is possible...imo were finally getting all the note 3 can give from the hardware and ui.... the battery life and performance you all know and love remain slightly improved...but the immediacy of everything is heightened to a level of instant for everything ... instant on off lock screen...instant s pen writing... instant camera focus and shutter...just took snappiness to 11 across the entire Note... you guys will love V9 enjoy


    FireKat V10 Deodex: I went thru and tweaked everything I could...camera, call quality, dalvik and cache...everything optimized to peak...

    Added to V10:

    S5 Xposed Mod For Note 3: S5 Toggles/Settings Theme, circle toggles, download boost the works

    S5 Optical Reader: amazing accuracy with modded camera...works great

    TubeMate YouTube Ripper: amazing app strait up lol

    ***In included 2 icon packs but idk wtf is up they're in data apps folder but not showing up...who knows lol??

    Improved 3d rendering
    Massive overhaul to dalvik and cache trying to maximize app launching and other memory read/writes
    Decreased run time temperature at max clock
    Even faster tw launcher, super faster animation/transitions
    Huge boost to battery performance in run time
    Extremely low battery drain while sleeping
    Misc other optimizations across the board

    Added to V9: all latest updated apks for kk specific

    All tweaks from FireKat Note 12.2 and FireNote V13 Included...enjoy

    Also included Ocean Weather Live Wallpaper by AccuWeather for Samsung Note 1
    Aurora Live Wallpaper from Gingerbread days...modded to give light effect on lock screen

    If you're familiar with my FireNote roms then you'll be right at home with FireKat...v1 essentially picks up from v13 and includes all the same tweaks and improvements you guys know from Firenote ....you also know this is a stock note 3 touchwiz rom, and not a themed rom...there's some great theme rom devs like bri rerick and tropazr I would suggest you check out for a themed build if that's what your looking for....my builds are stock touchwiz that i tweak for Perforamnce and battery life

    Removed from Rom
    All Knox Apks
    Elm Agent
    Container Agents
    All Att Apks and Apps (except isis and beats music)

    With the issues I've run into with certain standard apps I typically include like xposed, wanam, s pen board switch, ect I left them out...and will include more in the next update...as the apps themselves get updated and I update the roms well figure it out


    Remember only flash if you are on stock offical kit kat...DO NOT FLASH IF YOU USED THE KK LEAK FROM 4.3 AS THIS WILL NOT WORK ON THAT BOOTLOADER

    USE SAFESTRAP VERSION 3.75

    Instructions
    1. Boot into Safestrap
    2. Pick a slot...I've seen reports that some have issues if not done to stock slot but if you try a rom slot you run much less risk and can always simply delete it so I'd try a slot first to test...then flash to stock...only necessary if your worried about flashing with ss
    3. Wipe the slot factory reset
    4. Flash FireKat V10
    5. Reboot and Let Rom Flash and Boot
    6. Let sit for 10 Minutes or so then proceed with setup
    7. Enjoy

    Tips to optimize your experience
    1. Activate developer options, uncheck/turn off force gpu rendering (a must to take aadvantage of rendering tweaks)
    2. Greenify all user apps
    3. I NEVER GREENIFY ANY SYSTEM PROCESSES
    4. Disable any unused apps in the app manager
    ***with the mods and tweaks I've done to the rom you shouldn't use standby power saving or airplane modes, as these modes will negate the benefits of the tweaks and your battery will drain at stock levels due to the different battery controller system being used


    FireKat V15 known issues: none...enjoy the chocolaty goodness...lol ok that sounds fkn terrible lmao enjoy

    FireKat V1 Odex Build: upon request only


    Huge thanks to Carl for letting us use his base to build FireKat on...without him providing it these builds wouldn't be here for you guys
    Big thanks to Hash for Safestrap and making this all possible
    Thanks To Bri for working on the updater script for the new changes made to kk and getting our builds to boot, nice job bro
    A massive thanks to geohot for towelroot
    Thanks to imnew for the sick quadrant score shot



    ***Please don't use use or copy my work without asking permission
    ***Please do not repost or post mirrors of my work without asking permission...i don't ask this of you guys to be a jerk but so I can control where my kits go to make sure I can support and troubleshoot them properly

    I am not responsible for you, your note, your dog, or your life...what you do with your phone is your business and yours alone. ..the choice to flash my roms is also your choice and I hold no responsibility if you brick your Note or it blows up on your front porch...

    Enjoy....hopefully a new wave of builds and mods will flow thru here and we can continue our firenote community here

    Mega
    19
    My personal setup step by step...

    For the absolute most optimal setup follow these few simple steps to take MegaKat to a whole new level and make your Mega run like a brand new phone...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 MegaKat V10 (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

    7. Do not use power saving mode...it defeats the optimizations and tweaks I've done to make the battery life so awesome

    Enjoy the new build...latterly for those who want v10 on crack and steroids...use multicore controller or setcpu to max throttle the cpu to 2.26 ghz full time on performance governor lol then you're head will be spinning


    Optimized Setup 2

    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..

    I also do not freeze or uninstall a bunch of apps from my system. ..i only do the few listed in op2

    Never use power saving mode on my roms

    Disable google history and reporting in location settings: doesn't negatively impact google maps or now, all functions and cards work. ..just no excess data or location pings

    For performance

    I use multicore controller: interactive governor
    2300 ghz max
    1200 ghz min (although recently increased due to excess battery life) i charge at night and since v11 on every other night getting about 5 hours screen on over 36 hours total full brightness

    Animations on kk esp 4.4.4 are drastically slower than 4.3...thanks google for seeing ios8 and thinking that's the direction we should go in...[emoji107]...

    I always change my animations to .5 in dev options

    I use setcpu with exact settings as multicore controller to adjust io scheduler...use ROW io setting

    themes

    I uses 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

    1. Open and Grant Root
    2. Scroll down the list to Settings Storage
    3. Tap Systems.db
    4. Tap System
    5. Scroll down the system list until you find "notifications_panel_active_list" (see photo)
    6. With notification panel active list highlighted hit the MENU BUTTON on your note
    7. Tap Edit record
    8. Scroll to bottom of quick toggles list

    List of Hidden Toggles: type exactly like this...make sure what you add looks identical to structure already in sys.db

    2. Location: ;Location;

    4. Wifi Hotspot: ;WifiHotspot;
    5. Toddler Mode: ;ToddlerMode;
    6. Car Mode: ;CarMode; ***May not work; I think samsung use ;DrivingMode;
    7. Brightness: ;Brightness; ***you already have the slide bar on notification page so useless imo
    8. Do Not Disturb: ;DoNotDisturb; ***Called Blocking Mode on samsung devices...blocking mode is a more advanced tweaked version of do not disturb by on samsung higher end phones/tabs

    ***Some of these may or may not be supported on att 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


    Zooper Widget Pro Guide:

    So I think all of you know I'm obsessed with Zooper...it's the business lol...so after fielding a bazillion questions about it I figured I'd put this newb kit together then add it to op2...

    To Replicate A N4/S5 (Any) Widget: static...these will.not change wallpapers with weather...you can I just typically like 1 at a time...preference

    1. Get the background you want: either extract it from the apk of said widget or my drive box has about every flagship every made weather widget decomp backgrounds in there lol

    2. Add 4x2 or 5x2 widget to home page

    3. Layout

    4. Add+

    5. Choose last option: Bitmap

    6. Choose gallery

    7. Choose background: example sunny s5 (below)

    8. Resize to fit widget box

    9. Back to Layout Menu

    10. Add Text: option 1: choose text content

    11. Choose Time

    12. Choose 3rd option (my preference pick whatever)

    13. Resize clock and place using x and y adjustment

    14. Back to Layout Menu

    15. Add Text: Text Select: Date

    16. Resize Date and Set in Position

    17. *** Follow this same method for
    Weather
    Temp
    Forecast
    Location ect

    18. For Weather Icons: Choose add bitmap icon

    19. Choose bitmap

    20. Resize and place in location

    As most of you guys know me pretty well this won't be as big a deal...im pasting this on all threads to make sure people are unanimous before opening donation box

    IMPORTANT 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 Fair...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
