Thanks very much to the op:), help me keep my device still running and very well indeed

Hello guys.
First of all thank you very much for these drivers.

I have some questions regarding the drivers.
I am currently on dr ketan note 7 port for the N910f and i wonder do i have to flash these drivers after every new rom i flash?

These drivers are usually not includes in the roms right?

Thanks once again!

With latest drivers,apps crashes after sometime while using.It was the same on my lg g3 using updated drivers.Yes you get higher points in benchmark with latest drivers but those points means nothing if it is not stable.

Apps crash after clearing caches?

Dead community,

this driver update sounds great, but will the better performance need more energy and reduce the battery life? And is there a way back to stock drivers that are installed? Or make a backup of the current drivers?
I would really like to test the new drivers, but fear any affection on the battery life without the possibility to restore my current drivers.

And what about Android 5.1.1 ? what if I install the old 5.1.1 Bootloader, Modem and Rom?

latest drivers bring performance because they're better optimised, meaning that they handle the hardware better, giving it more space to perform better and use it optimally ;) If you doubt the benefits you can simply backup your system partition, flash them and see :) but a clean flash is recommended as dirty one seems to be a little tricky in some cases. Good luck :D

So that means, when I install any new rom these new drivers were deleted? so the drivers are not like the Bootloader and modem and need a separately flashing process to be changed?

And will they work an Android 5.1.1, too?
