Note 4 Orientation Thread, please educate me...

Hi Friends,

I'm a fairly experienced Samsung user, S4, Note 2, Note 3, and now finally waiting for my Note 4 to come in the mail. I took a break away from Sammy with LG G3 and G4. Can you guys help me get oriented with Note 4, with my quick questions? I've been reading the forum, but, as you guys would imagine, there's still room for clarity, thus my thread:

1. What is the BEST ROM you could recommend for the most stable experience, with performance and battery life? Some say Rapture hands down, others recommend Poprocks, but then I look at something like TEKXodus and the replies and views that ROM has and I am like WOW! Let's not forget the S6 ports!

2. Is there a way to do simple Mods on the Note 4 like changing Status Bar icon colors, and maybe changing the Toggles colors? If so, what is that app? I'm thinking of something like Gravity Box, Wanam Kit, LG Tweaksbox, but for the Note 4? Personally, I love foreverloco's simple AOSP style themes, but I doubt they'd work on the latest ROM versions?

3. What is the truth about Note 4 screen on time? On QHD screens on the G3 and G4, I couldn't get more than just under 4 hours for the LG G3 and not even 2.5 hours for the LG G4!! Biggest reason why I'm moving off of the phone! I never game, am on WiFi most of the day, don't have Bluetooth or NFC running. Just WiFi all day, all workday conference calls, and some days 2 to 3 hours of data on, not WiFi.

4. I don't know the model I'll get, but if I get the 910T3, am I screwed? Or screwed without it?

5. Any outstanding issues with Xposed on 5.1.1 ROMs?

Thank you in advance for your help and responses!

Strange bugs in my Note 5 (Split screen mode, Orientation lock)

I'm experiencing some strange behaviors on my Note 5 that I can't find mentions of anywhere else on the web. The bugs are minor and pretty much everything else works, but it's still quite annoying that I can't find a way to fix these issues. Do any of you know what is causing these problems?

Firstly, when I go into split screen mode I don't have that white circle that lets me adjust the sizes of the two screens. I get that circle in pop-up mode, just not in split-screen mode. Why would this be? I can't find any item in the settings menu related to split screen mode so what happened?

Secondly, I can set my phone to auto-rotate and turn the phone to landscape, but the moment I try to lock the orientation the phone turns itself back into portrait. I'm not just talking about the launcher; no matter what app is in the foreground, I can't lock the phone to landscape unless the app forces the phone into landscape in the first place. Again, I can't find any item in the settings menu related to orientation locking.

sensors (acceleration gyroscope orientation etc) issues, nv data dump request

Hello,
i got a D802 phone which apparently has some sensors disabled in some way. When apps try to use them (so the system see them as existent) they fail or crash.
here some example log:

I followed a lot of paths to find a solution, different distributions and full revert to all available stock versions. no way.
As my last trial I want to try to compare my NV data with a working one to search for some misconfigured parameter.
I found a great guide on how to access and extract all NV parameters and save to a text file, here:
http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-bac...imei-on-lg-g2/
As you can see, the guide is for changing IMEI, but the application permit to dump all parameters to a file.
I ask some good man to send me his dump. or i can send mine and get the differences. Because this file contains sensitive data, they should be removed (IMEI, S/N, MAC) even if i am not interested in stealing ids!

I have a D802 32GB.

thank you to everyone, hope to receive some useful feedback!.
