When you changed DPI, what value did you change it to?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] irmoballen:
540. Camera doesn't work correctly but I'll get a per app dpi app later on.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] allthemalarkey19:
How do you change DPI? I've never done that on any phone before.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] irmoballen:
Search "DPI" in the play store, I used texdroider_dpi.

Also, there is an Wanam/Xposed module for per app DPI, if you want some apps to have different DPI than others.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] urmcgwy:
Everything worked! I still need to enable SD card writes, but TWRP and root are good :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Kevins89notch:
Yeah, what about a knox counter?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] shpotik:
Why would you are about that with a developer edition device?..just saying
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Kevins89notch:
If I have heard correctly, your warranty is voided if you trip knox. What's to say your phone doesn't have a problem with the home button in 3 months? That's nothing related you you rooting your phone, but your warranty is still voided.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] wtherrell:
Have you guys seen all the development going on with the T-Mobile N4? They've got Hyperdrive & Darthstalker roms going already. Hope we can convince Scott (sbreen94) to port Hyperdrive to our (future) VZW Dev edition N4. Hope I don't have to give up my UDP & switch to T-Mobile. Maybe a NexSix if they ever become available.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tom1226:
Considering Dev. Edition device warranties are only like 30 days from Samsung anyway...kind of a moot point.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] shpotik:
Yeah idk how that would work with Dev edition. I guess its a good question, Because it would be dumb if the warranty was void on a developer device for that reason...I mean what is the purpose of a developer device then?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] urmcgwy:
Yeah it really should be more like cars... warranty is only void on the part that you mess with (power train warranty is still good if you only replaced the exhaust). Eventually some lawyer will wise up and decide to make a class action lawsuit out of this (like they did for cars, way back when)

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Kevins89notch:
That's why I'm asking. I'm tempted to order a DE and return or sell my normal one, simply because I want root to install xposed and a couple simple apps. I however don't want my warranty gone. I'll probably just stick with my normal one. :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ebrinkis:
"You pays your money and you takes your chances" or stick with a stock Note 4 with a warranty. Everyone is different, everyone has different risk tolerances, everyone "needs" something different from their phone. There are no right or wrong answers, or right or wrong decisions. The stock warrantied and guaranteed but locked up Note 4 is useless to me, not only on Verizon, but on any Network. I like Verizon for the coverage which other Networks don't have and I have an archaic Unlimited data plan I want to stick to. I have made my choice and am happy with it, no regrets (Until a button stops working of course!)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] urmcgwy:
Although even if a button stops working, you can add the onscreen buttons easily and make it more Google-ish in the process!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tom1226:
I'll probably be doing this as it is; my one complaint so far is that my thumb tends to hit the bottom of the screen instead of a button with the way I hold my device, since I'm so used to softkeys. Maybe I'll try to make the physical home button have dedicated actions, like a double press for screen off or long press for flashlight or something haha
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] doctor-cool:
There is a app on my phone where Asurion offered to insure it and if you want you can buy the Samsung Samsung Protection Plus℠ Mobile Elite* for Galaxy Note® 3 and Galaxy Note® 4 for $ 129 2 yr extended warranty coverage from the DOP
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ebrinkis:
The extended warranty is void with Knox tripped as well, isn't it? Doctor Cool -- You installed TWRP, your Knox is tripped, your warranty extended or otherwise is now void. Assurion may not care about Knox for a void of policy, but they certainly don't have a supply of Developer Edition Note 4's to give out, you would get a locked, refurbished standard Note 4 in exchange. Not the greatest deal I think! Like the rest of us, you are in it for the long haul, so enjoy the ride!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jpcalhoun:
I know 2 people who had the S5 Developer Edition and had to return their phones to Samsung (both "bricked" their phones) Both had installed TWRP and Rooted. Both had tripped Knox. Samsung honored their warranty but would only return them a retail version of the phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] wtherrell:
Did you quote the right post?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] hacksaw999:
Well, I hope you're happy. Because of you I'm going to be parting with over $700 of my hardly earned money to pick up the DevEd Nexus 4. I'm sure you will have trouble sleeping at night knowing the havoc you've caused. :)

Seriously though, a big thanks to those who have blazed the trail! Now that TWRP and root have been achieved this is exactly the droid I am looking for. Great camera, great screen, replaceable battery, SD card slot, etc. This is going to be one heck of an upgrade from my Galaxy Nexus.

Now if Samsung will just make more available.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tom1226:
You're getting ripped off dude. Hahaha
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jpcalhoun:
It will be worth the wait. Congrats
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Menchelke:
Not if he is buying a Nexus4. :laugh:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] shpotik:
Lol he meant note 4 I'm sure
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jpcalhoun:
Yeah,I didn't notice he said Nexus
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] hacksaw999:
LOL. Yes I did!

See? I told you guys you were creating havoc! :)

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oneandroidnut:
they are going to jack price to $699 and put back online in a few weeks for sale
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Firemedic:
I have the same thing, They are probably going to do a bait and switch with a price increase. They tried to do that on the S4 and I called them on it. Got the Dev phone at the original posted price of 475.00 when it was supposed to be 599.00. They tried to cancel my order and I came back and said that was the advertised price and they sold it to me for that. It took a lot of work and contacted a lot of people. It was worth it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jmm22:
So if I trade my iPhone 4 into bestbuy I can get the Verizon Note 4 for $99 because I have a couple upgrades on my business account. Then, when the Developers Edition comes out I can just sell my locked Note 4 on eBay ($500ish) and buy the Developer's edition for the difference?

---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 PM ----------

You lucked out, congrats! They didn't have to legally give you that price, so it is good customer service. Sometimes it just works out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ct_tec313:
just talked to a superviser at samsung and they said they were making changes to website and it will be back up monday, so i will expect a price increase when it goes back up.....

Same Here
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] fz798:
Same here. I got the backorder available email, but my cart is empty, when I click "View Samsung Mobile Accessories Cart" under cart, there's nothing there. Can you post or PM a product link?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] manbat:
I tried repeatedly while I was "chatting online" with a service rep....it finally showed up. Would not work at all on phone...had to use computer. Link seems to be specific to your email. Mine showed up when I first signed on to samsung.com and then clicked the link in the "product is backordered" email" (there is no link in the "available email"). Went to the "my orders page", when I saw the backorder listed, I clicked the cart and then the assessories cart and it was there.:)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] doctor-cool:
I followed your instructions and it worked;)

I got my email and they only billed me one dollar,, that's weird

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amount	$1.00 USD

Merchant	SAMSUNG TELECOM AMERIC,,TX,

Please note that the name of merchant may be different once the transaction is complete.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] fz798:
No such luck here. I have nothing in my orders page at all. I tried multiple browsers and the link from the original mail. nadda.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] doctor-cool:
I went to the page that showed "Accessory Orders" then clicked on that empty cart and the invoice came up.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] manbat:
The dollar is just a test to see if the card works.....full charge will follow. There is a quick flash on the screen that says there will be a $1.00 test charge....lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] fz798:
I spent tons of time on the phone and in chat support with all flavors of technical and sales support, and as has previously been mentioned, nobody has a clue.

I also exhausted every avenue to try to find any trace of "the order" in my account, multiple browsers, etc. Maybe one of the "very helpful" people I tried to get to help did me a great big favor and removed the pending order from my account. Guess I'm SOL.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] doctor-cool:
Try This,

Log in to your Samsung account , open another tab and paste this address

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/account/order/

Then view your cart,,,,,, Then click view mobile accessories

It is giving me the option to buy as many as I want, as we speak
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mrpickem:
For me it shows in backorder accessories but no link to buy it and cart still empty. Played around with chrome, firefox and IE as well as mobile chrome...no luck so far.

What browser you get it to work in?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] The-Chief:
I tried both Chrome and IE and I couldn't get anything to come up except "backordered" even though my email from Samsung says it's available. Well, Customer Service opens in under 2 hours and I'll see what the problem is. Curious that some of you can order it while others can't... all have confirmation emails.

But I am SO HAPPY that this bloated, locked-down Note 4 is going back to VZW!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] fz798:
Same for me
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] urmcgwy:
Yeah, I'm really happy with it using xposed for all the tweaks until we start to build some custom ROMs. Hopefully your phone ships soon!

You can try the cached method mentioned early on in the DE thread in the Q&A forum. Google the model number ( SM-N910VMKEVZW) and open the cached version of the product page and see if you can purchase from there.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] hacksaw999:
Thanks, I'm really looking forward to it. I darn near bought the LG G3 a while back but it took so long to get root on it that there were better phones right around the corner when it happened.

I've had the Motorola Droid, Samsung Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 10. It is going to be interesting as this will be the first time I've used an android phone with a heavy skin overlay on it. I don't care about the fingerprint scanner and heart rate monitor but the multi window thing looks pretty cool and I can see getting some use out of the stylus as well.

Speaking of the fingerprint scanner and heart rate monitor, now that we have root can they be disabled in order to save battery life? Or do they not suck enough juice to be worth the effort?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] urmcgwy:
I actually use the fingerprint scanner for my lockscreen and I like it... Definitely not as good as the TouchID on my wife's iPhone 6, but it's an iPhone so that cancels out.

What did you do to kill the Verizon boot animation? Did you just put an alternate boot animation in system/media?

Nevermind -- I used the S5 zip animation I found here http://zidroid.com/how-to-get-galaxy-s5-boot-animation-galaxy-s4-note3/ and it worked perfectly.

Well i got ****ed. Got a email stating my order on the 28th stating my order was shipped and would be delivered today. But my order status hasnt changed.

Well if THIS doesn't suck a cup o' poop juice: I got my package in from Samsung today! Fully expecting to open that puppy up and start tampering with it and generally voiding the warranty :D

Well imagine my shock, stun and amazement to find THIS inside!

​

You talk about some sort of mad! OMG "conniption" doesn't start to describe it!

I immediately got on the phone with the customer service rep (name withheld to protect the guilty) and he was as stunned as I was! He promised to run this down, and read back my phone number, assuring me that he would track this down and FIX it. That was 4 hours ago.

Still waiting.

:mad:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ucsdsig13:
Oh wow, I'd be upset as well. Good luck, hope they sort this out quick.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jpcalhoun:
Wow that sucks swamp water!! About the same thing happen to me with the S5. They were pretty good about getting the situation fixed and sent a replacement the same day, overnight via FedEx with guaranteed delivery by 1000AM the next day. When he calls you back make sure you insist they do that and include the return labeling to send that Note 3 back.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] The-Chief:
I'm just hoping that this doesn't turn into a systemic warehouse issue where a lot of people are getting Note 3 DE's pawned off on them. {Why? To empty the warehouse or something? Like we won't KNOW the difference?)

Let's hope mine is a very isolated case!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] maxyoda:
Just received Developer Edition Note 4 via UPS this afternoon! Use T-Mobile ROMS?

I just received it!

I just rooted and installed TWRP.

Back in the day, it was possible to use T-Mobile ROMS on the Verizon Developer Edition phones (at least for the S4 and S5 phones). Any thoughts on trying that here? I just received the Verizon Developer Edition Note 4. I am willing to give it a go...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jpcalhoun:
Well, I haven't heard of anyone giving it a try yet. Just make sure you have a backup...or two backups just to be sure. And Oh yeah, flash one of the backups before you flash anything else. Just to be safe :D

I hope by the time I get mine someone posts a simple list of instructions on how to root and install TWRP. Please.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jpcalhoun:
I'm not trying to be a butt head, but the simple list you're looking for is listed in this thread about 3 or 4 times an it's in the Android Development Section also. Just a recommendation: take some time while you're waiting for your phone and read through anything you can find that speaks about the Developer Edition Note 4 and the difference between it and the Retail version. It might save you some expensive heartaches.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pego99:
OK I will relook but all those instructions had differences and I was concerned that I would choose the one that has problems but I will recheck
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jpcalhoun:
check the Android Development Section.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] GirLuvsDroid:
I got mine today, and I've replaced the boot animation to get rid of that awful red Verizon splash screen, have installed all or most of my apps, set up my home screens (ADW EX Launcher, which works perfectly) and am making my third backup before I start really making mods with Xposed. Coming from the retail version of the Note 3 with Safestrap, I have to say that I am SO happy to have an unlocked bootloader and full TWRP recovery. It's an amazing difference.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] fz798:
Thanks for the boot anim info.... If I whack bootsamsung.qmg then my display won't turn off. Can you share what you used?

Most rom I used on my S3 had the rom locked and would not accept OTA updates even if you tried to. Hope the rooted roms will have that as well. Sure miss my r484 rooted rom on my S3, don't miss the small screen, slower cpu.

Can you do the stuff below before the phone is setup? Can this be done before the sim card is placed in the phone or should the phone be fully set up before setting up twrp and rooting?

1. Download USB drivers from Samsung: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/ow...SM-N910VMKEVZW

2. Using ODIN V 3.09 (link courtesy [MENTION=2367052]GirLuvsDroid[/MENTION]): http://www.mediafire.com/download/vw...din3_v3.09.zip

ODIN setting AP, Phone in Download mode

3. Install openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.1-trltetmo.img.tar (Thank you [MENTION=2193554]fz798[/MENTION]): http://www.techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/trltetmo

This gives a fully functional custom TWRP recovery

If you don't do 1 or even 2 full saves to SD card and / or PC at this point you are a fool.

4. Using TWRP in recovery, install SU.zip(2.16) (Thank you [MENTION=2770711]mrlaigle[/MENTION]): http://download.chainfire.eu/589/Sup...erSU-v2.16.zip

5. Reboot

You should now have a fully rooted, custom TWRP recovery, SuperuserSU Developer Edition Note 4.

To all who were thanked and participated in the process, please comment and confirm / verify the above steps so that everyone will feel safe using them. If there are any suggestions or changes or warnings, let us know now!
