Symptoms of a device that has been updated but has conflicting data from before the update that is causing the device to be buggy after the update. Boot into stock recovery and choose the "Wipe cache partition" option, wipe only the cache partition. DO NOT FACTORY RESET OR WIPE DATA. Then...

They are still taking storage space in system, but the space they occupy isn't space that you as a user can use, even if it were to be removed and it isn't space that the device needs to use while running. From the devices perspective, performance-wise, there is little difference(but still some...

Its presence or not wasn't the point, the point was the fact that when disabled, an app uses no resources, requiring nothing to be kept in RAM, making the RAM that it would have occupied, available for other usage. Meaning, less demand on the device and more capability of doing other things...

That's why I stated uninstall OR disable apps.

Ah.. That's what I get for speed reading. You can remove root without flashing the firmware. It depends on what root you're using. If you are using SuperSU, you can go into SuperSU app and use its in-app settings, it has the option to "cleanup for unroot", it will remove the su binaries and...

It's a common issue in CM11 for most devices, a common solution is to install a 3rd party camera app from the Playstore, I always used Google camera or ABC(A Better Camera) app. Reinstall the CM 11 ROM and try one of those apps, try different camera apps from Playstore until you find one that...

There are several reasons this can happen. Mostly, it is caused by other things that you have installed or used before this, one or more of them has installed malware on your device and that malware keeps re-installing apps when you remove them. You need to find out what the malware is and...

How about posting the model number first. Then we look a little deeper using serial number and some hardware/software info from the device.

I'm assiming you have a Samsung account? If you do, it might have your S-apps synced, including your S-Note app, maybe Samsung account support can recover the password or info needed.

Probably because when you format external as internal, it is then seen as internal and will be labeled as internal from that point forward. It changed at restart because when it restarted and reloaded, it now sees external as internal, it sees no difference between your actual phones memory and...

Your camera hardware is damaged, it needs to be replaced.

You don't necessarily have to root or remove bloatware. You can go to system settings>applications and then uninstall or disable any apps on the list that you aren't using. Some system apps are very important and can't be disabled, do your research about the apps on your device to find out...

Google search "How to root (your device model number)" Look for links to XDA, it's a much better android modding site than Android Central. I've been a member there for years. There is a plethora for custom development for Note 4 at XDA.

Re: Stuck on "Odin Mode" for no reason? Screen says "Downloading... Do not turn off target !!" Your binary says custom, and secure download says enabled. You probably have a locked bootloader, if you tried flashing TWRP with the bootloader locked, that's your issue. The locked bootloader won't...

Did you create a nandroid backup of your stock OS before this happened? If so, restore it using the restore option. If you didn't create a backup, do you know if there are any custom ROMs available for your device? If there are ROMs, you can flash one of them. If there are not any ROMs...
