Not that it's much use this second, but I'm uploading the most recent firmware as a flashable build.

See post 2 for details.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
re: flashable firmware

What differences will there be between the stock samsung note 4 N910T firmware

and the odin flash firmware you are uploading besides root and init.d support?

I just installed this little app which enables support for init.d on most any android phone.

It worked on my Note 4 too.

In case you want to check it out here is the direct download link for the apk.

The only two requirements it has is root and busybox needs to be installed before this

can enable init.d support: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45687485/Uni-init%2Bv1.0.apk

It installs just like any other apk and if it does not find busybox installed in the phone

it automatically re-directs you to the play store where you can download and install it.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
It will be included in the ROM.

An app will launch init.d commands after the build has full initialized and zipalign has finished. It requires a service that needs to be terminated upon completion. It may be killed off by memory management. It disappears if data is wiped.

Apps are for when it cannot be accomplished, such as while the recovery isn't available. If an app were just as good, I would have posted a link to StarKissed and saved an hour of my life.

If you happen to look at any of the custom builds for other devices, you may notice that each device typically has a common source in the little credits excerpt. That source is the stock rooted build they used as a base to do their modifications. You're welcome.

re: download link

Your download link is truly one of a kind. LOL
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
I honestly didn't expect it to be prompting me on every download, either. Box was too slow, Dropbox suspends accounts for too many downloads and I have stuff on that for a class, and all these Android share sites have 1000 ads.

I'll probably move it to Goo.im once the boot.img is confirmed. Theirs is the least obnoxious of the bunch.

Ironically, the 910S version is the same as the 910C, as far as the two downloads are concerned. The problem with that is that the 910C is Exynos while the 910S is Qualcomm. Looks like someone just relabeled the files.

Best advice to FULLY rid an Ubuntu installation of all past related stock Heimdall installs? I ran install from source readme.txt instructions and all commands ran with no errors. Yet I believe I still fail to download PIT due to it loading the older Heimdall that was installed.

Thanks and great work!

EDIT: I attempted apt-get remove heimdall and it seemed to have uninstalled properly. But after installing heimdall from source using directions I still get:

Downloading device's PIT file...

ERROR: Failed to send request to end PIT file transfer!

ERROR: Failed to download PIT file!

Ending session...

ERROR: Failed to send end session packet!

Releasing device interface...

Re-attaching kernel driver...

Latest libusbX installed and CLI claims Heimdall 1.4.1. Seems as though installation went fine but always locks up on this step on S5 and Note 4. Works fine on older models as you would expect.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Did you apply the S5 patch, since those are ironically the two devices that require it?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] connexion2005:
Well I installed using "from heimdall source" directions in Linux README. This of course with the forked package of yours. So, I assumed that installed the latest BridgeManager.cpp you seemed to had just modified. With that said, I took no specific steps of doing the S5 patch.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
If it came from the fork I posted, it has the patch. I wasn't sure if you had used the original or that one. I'll have to check out the Ubuntu one. I use Mac so replacement is just copying over it.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
I forked a few git repos that look like they are soon-to-be kernel sources. I also noticed TWRP is calling the device the trltespr (Sprint) while using the config for the T-mobile (trltetmo) to set it up. Whether or not they intend to use the T-Mobile kernel or wait for Sprint is something I have no information about.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
I don't play well with others. I'm typically too flaky for most (hobbies) and a recent death in the family means having to drop everything at a moment's notice. I'll have repositories updated as soon as I finish patching Mac support into the kernel. That should be enough for them to work with.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Well I'm not seandroid enforcing according to the error, but it is accepting the recovery now. Turns out why it wasn't working had to do with the compile specifics and the dt.img we didn't have yet. The source changes are being pushed and once I have my own kernel built, I should be able to resolve this security hoopla.

Apologies for the slow progress but I'm learning as I go. Samsung is very quirky.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] fcortes626:
Nice all im waiting for to root my note 4 is a custom recovery. Good job :good:

Sorry to hear about the loss. I said a prayer for you this morning. Hope everything is ok.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Thanks. We were as ready as you can be for something like that so it has been more about getting through all the stuff that comes after.

BTW: any luck on the lag issue? The closest I could come to reproducing it was similar to some feedback in another thread that it may be related to the external card.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Everything I've read about seandroid enforcing is that it's a cwm issue. I synced aosp, the Sammy source, and twrp. Trying to build it now. We'll see...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mgbotoe:
So recovery is up and running now? Sorry trying to understand your Op set up
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
No. Still building. The op is all source for developers to build from.

Twrp relies on cm, cm relies on caf. Samsung relies on aosp. In a way, I'm trying to undo the last 3 years of community driven development by switching back to an aosp base because CodeAurora is nice, but not the standard. It'll be much easier to build, though, because all of the cm extras won't be necessary to make a recovery.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Mr Impossible:
I'm on NJ7 and have tried all 3 of your kernels files but the all fail in Odin 3.07. The MD5 one fails the MD5 check and I even tar'ed the .img file with no luck. Any ideas?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
I have a feeling my md5 binary is not matching up to the one that Odin is built against. Remove the md5 extension and flash the tar and it should be fine.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Mr Impossible:
I did flash the tar it failed then got just the IMG file I tar ' ed it myself it also failed
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Weird. I'll have to look into it. I have been using Heimdall to flash the image directly.

It's all the better. Wifi is unstable. It connects, but it seems to clear itself every time I flash.

When I hold down the power button and choose "Shut Down" from the menu, it just restarts. I have flashed a few other ROMs beside the last two I have used without having this issue. I was using Mokee (linked in my sig) and thought that it was the source of the problem. Then I switched to a CM10 ROM and the problem continues.

I have noticed if I clear all my caches (including dalvik) the next time I start it, it will shut down and stay shut down. The next time I boot after that, it will not shut down. Has anyone had this issue and solved it?

I know what you mean, I bought a 32GB SD card just to find out you can't really install apps on the SD card or at least I don't know how.
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Format the SD card as NTFS, move the \Program Files\WindowsApps folder to the SD card (make sure you preserve security and other such metadata, not just the files themselves, thus the card needing to be NTFS), create a symlink pointing to the new location. Alternatively, do this for individual apps within that folder. You may need to do it from a boot disk or as true Admin (not "run as Administrator" but actually under the local Administrator account). Don't forget to make sure that local-to-remote symlinks are enabled (fsutil is your friend).

You can, of course, install desktop apps to the SD card just fine, even if it's formatted as FAT. You can also relocate and/or move+symlink other stuff to the SD card, like your user profile.
[Windows 8 General] rsktkr1:
I took my TW800 back and got the TW801 with the 64G sd card. I was able to install Ubuntu in a virtual machine all running off my external sd card and its really cool. You could still do this probably on the TW800.
[Windows 8 General] sinister1:
Thanks GoodDay, I managed to install office on the SD Drive but I'm still very low on space, any other tricks of the trade?
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
You're welcome!

Make sure compression is enabled on all relevant drives (Windows Explorer -> right-click any drive -> Properties -> "Compress this drive to save space"). NTFS compression is less efficient than things like ZIP, but that's because it needs to allow fairly random access into even big files without decompressing them first, and it's still pretty good. Also may actually improve performance in some cases; it uses more RAM and CPU when access storage but reduces storage I/O time, and the I/O speed is usually the bottleneck (on magnetic storage, compression is usually a significant speed-up). Note that doing this may confuse/break "file undelete" utilities, though those are pretty iffy on flash storage (when TRIM is enabled) anyhow.

If you don't mind losing hibernate, you can get back the space consumed by the hiberfile (which is to say, the amount of RAM you have) by running "powercfg -H OFF" in an Admin command prompt, or at least reduce the size of the hiberfile somewhat using "powercfg -H -Size 75" or similar (the last number is a percentage, must be at least 50). I don't know if it's possible to put the hiberfile on a separate volume, but I doubt it (since it needs to load before the kernel even resumes).

You can reduce the size of the pagefile if you don't usually need it much. Windows will also let you create one on another volume (which may let you shrink or remove the one on C: without running out of virtual memory space). May not work with anything that the OS recognizes as removable storage, though, as the system will almost certainly crash if it loses access to the pagefile.

Disk Cleanup, as always, is your friend. Windows Updates and various temp files all consume a lot of space.

Tools like WinDirStat are really handy for figuring out where your storage is going.

Enable RDP on Windows 8.1 Basic for Winbook TW700/800/801/802/100

I didn't see many threads on this tablet on XDA yet, so I figured I throw this on here. I picked up a Winbook TW801 yesterday and I was trying to use remote desktop to log into the tablet. I then came to the realization that Windows 8.1 Basic doesn't have RDP enabled. I did some digging and found a batch file that installs the necessary files and permissions to enable it.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1749299/RDP Enable 8.1.zip

Just unzip and drop that folder on your tablet and run the install.bat file. After the install you can delete the files you copied over to save space. You are then able to RDP into the tablet. It works great if you don't have a keyboard and mouse to hook up to it and want to manage things on the tablet quickly.
