ROM Confusion

Please forgive the noob question.... I have confusion. I have a DE version of the Note 4 and I am a bit confused about what ROMs I can load on it. Could some please explain? I understand about flashing and Odin. I've been rooting my android phones since I had my first Galaxy Note (1? man, I remember that thing seemed huge...). Anyways, I was on T-Mobile and it seemed like there was a plethora of ROMs out there to use. I had to move to Verizon for a variety of different reasons (it's a long story). I knew beforehand that going to Verizon was going to severely limit my ROM choices since there probably won't be a root solution anytime soon (if ever... Have they got root for the Verizon Note 3?) for the large majority of Verizon Note 4's out there. I treated myself to the DE edition of the Note 4 and I have had it since they came out. I am a little confused as to what ROMs I can actually load though. I get that I can load one created for the Verizon Note 4 and have loaded several but, can I load a T-Mobile ROM and just reflash my Verizon modem/firmware? Aren't they essentially the same phone?

And, can anyone recommend a repository of ROMs for the DE? I don't find many on my google searches but, maybe my Google-fu isn't strong enough.....

Thanks in advance.

With Lollipop there is not a functioning Verizon ROM. Ricks ROM is pre-alpha. With KK, Definitive was the most popular ROM. There was at least one version of a T-mobile ROM that reportedly worked, but I never tried it.

I am personally on stock LL with just root and brightness fix kernel. Got my tether, ad blocker and titanium which address the biggest issues with stock, then throw in Nova launcher and I'm satisfied. Battery color and themes are not enough to keep me on KK and lose the notifications and overall smoothness of LL. I would love to get rid of that God forsaken volume warning though!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] stueycaster:
I'm on the same set-up. That kernel does some kind of battery tweak that makes the battery life real good too. I can put up with the stock status bar for now. This is a good set-up. LP really is fast.

Are you headed to another device/carrier or looking to leave development altogether?

Your expertise has been invaluable.

I'm just looking to leave development. Mainly because it's way too time consuming to me. With the way the new phones are and what I do with my phone I really don't need to mod my phones.

Wow, $540 that's rough. Especially when I got $650 for my regular BL locked Note4.

I had a feeling that the rom/kernel scene would be pretty dry/slow/inactive if these phones didn't get rooted. In hindsight, its a good reason to get the Nexus 6 if you like to play with roms.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] gcounts:
Really? Such integrity.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] DrPhant0m:
To what end?

If the intent would be to try to unlock the BL or root a "retail edition" phone...

The software on the dev edition isn't significantly different (if at all) than that on the "retail edition" as I understand it. You can't use anything on the Dev Editions to "make" a developer edition from a retail edition, because I understand that the bootloaders are unlocked by Samsung via a private key that is generated on a per-device basis. In other words... it's the same idea as if you tried to copy someone else's house keys to get into your own house.

The developer devices themselves are useful in trying to develop root methods for the retail edition phone, though... because you can take an unrooted dev edition and try to root it via exploits and other methods that *should* work on the retail versions... and be able to wipe it and get back on track if it goes badly, without consequence.

These developer edition phones just taunt me sitting there in inventory at $700. I can't afford one at that price. I should have just used my wife's upgrade (I'm on unlimited, so I can't use mine) to get a 64GB S6 when they first came out, and sold it for $600... and then waited for these dev editions to come back in stock. For the record... the Note Edge Dev Edition has been available for a few weeks, and it's $800. :crying:

... I wonder if the recent availability of the developer edition has anything to do with the recent developments in rooting the retail edition. Seems coincidental. I haven't seen it in stock for months. Maybe they're trying to squeeze out some last minute sales before a full blown root method is developed, and making the dev edition a lot less valuable.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] stueycaster:
The only difference is a Developer Edition has an aboot partition that is specific to the phone. If you lose it you have a retail phone.

Are you and your wife on a family plan together? If so you can use your upgrade and keep that unlimited data. You just transfer the upgrade to her line, then once it comes in activate it like normal. Then swap in your sim card to the new phone and put her sim card back in her original phone. Poof you used your upgrade and kept unlimited data. I've used this loophole over 6 times. I have a 5 line family plan, 4 have unlimited data, one has 2gb. I've transferred every upgrade through the 2gb line. It's really not that hard. I've even done it with a mix of iPhones and Android phones too. There is an extra step due to the different sim card types, but it still works.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] DrPhant0m:
I like where your head is at... but unfortunately, we're not on a family plan (long complicated story involving her being on a corporate plan) I'm currently on a 3-phone family plan. My unlimited plan, and two "dumb phones" for my parents. I used both of their upgrades before the loophole was closed to get my Note 3 and my wife's G3... but she dropped the G3 in the tub and she's back to her Note 2 (and wants my phone). Bonus reading: When I got her the G3, I was promised her upgrade in April. That was before she dropped it in the tub. Now there are no phones out there that I want that can be rooted (closest is the N6, but only 32GB kills it) and she's buggin' me for my phone. I know... big problems, right? lol

Dev Back In Stock

To anyone interested the Note 4 Dev is back in stock. I got mine ordered today and it will be here within the week. Stoked! Now who here has any suggestions for cases? I can't find any waterproof cases from Seidio or Lifeproof, The otterbox one was TERRIBLE for my S4. Any suggestions?

Interesting... they didn't say ANYTHING about that when I ordered mine. Thanks for the heads up.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] DrPhant0m:
Hmmm... do these cases have a good chance of high resale value? Might be a way to offset the cost of the device. I think they claim they're worth $50/each.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] The-Chief:
Hate to ruin your party, but Verizon told me they recently CLOSED that little loophole. So before anyone with unlimited data starts trying the ol' phone shuffle, you might want to make DOUBLE SURE you can before you get dumped into an EDGE plan. My intel says you can't. I'd hate for someone to end up losing their unlimited data over this.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] floot_roops:
Can I get some advice from you guys? I'm not a developer at all.

I've never owned a dev edition phone. I was on T-mo until a month ago and had been happily using my Galaxy S2 for close to three years, but that was root within two weeks and I ran all sorts of custom ROMs from gingerbread to jellybean, and this is what kept the phone chugging along for me (well, that and a new battery here and there). I switched to Verizon recently.

I pre-ordered the Note 4 and have been immensely enjoying it. I do think that a lot of the features I like are Touchwiz/S-pen specific, so I don't see myself wanting to go full custom on ROMs (i.e. going to a more pure AOSP build). Otherwise I'd probably get a Nexus 6. However, I am a little concerned about lack of root access that would inhibit more advanced functions in programs like Tasker.

Cost isn't a huge deal as I bought my Note 4 outright (though I'm a little worried about how my pre-order rebate will work if I return my current Note 4 during the 14 day window-- I submitted all receipts, but I'm still waiting on an email confirmation, and I'm wondering if they'll track for a return and cancel the rebate).

More than that, I'd like to know how hard it is to keep the Dev Edition up to date on "stock" ROMs (but with root access). I know that there won't be OTA updates. But let's say the 5.0 update comes through Verizon's servers... Would I have to hope that someone cobbles together a flashable version for the Dev Edition, and also that someone finds a new root exploit or a way to maintain root without losing it?

I'm just trying to figure out if the Dev Edition is worth it for me if all I'm looking to do is have root access as we move forward through Android upgrades. I'm not a dev, but it seems like most people are saying that 5.0 will make it "impossible" to attain root with a locked bootloader. I'm completely happy with the phone right now, but I always wonder about how I'll feel 6 months from now, and I'm trying to gauge how difficult you feel it will be to continue running stock with root through updates in the future with a Dev Edition.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] irmoballen:
If you provide me with some instructions on how to do so, it's done. Please forgive my lack of knowledge on the matter.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jpcalhoun:
Let me see if I can answer your questions. I have had the S4 and S5 Dev Editions, and you are right, there were no OTA updates for the Dev Editions. That wasn't a problem, within a few days or a week the developer community would update their ROMs with the latest OTA and we could flash the updated ROM. Updated basebands, kernels etc were always available on XDA to flash. From my experience having the S4 and S5 Dev Edition it was not difficult to maintain root and stay updated. Now, who knows about Lollipop. I may be optimistic, but I think we will have a custom recovery (TWRP) and root for the Dev Edition Note 4 within a week. ROMs...that will probably take a few weeks since the phone is only today being delivered to the first customers to order one. I might also add that the developer community would also take an OTA, tinker with it, and release it for safe flashing for Dev Edition phones. Hopefully we'll get the same support out of the developer community for the Note 4.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] orcsbane13:
To my knowledge all they closed was using the dumb phone lines upgrades. They would require a data line on them now. But If you have a tiered data line on you should be able to transfer that upgrade still. Even if you can't transfer the upgrade to an unlimited line you can still upgrade the tiered line and then swap Sim cards after the fact. I bought a set of Sim card adapters so that my Sim would fit into any phone. There will always be a loop hole as long as you can transfer upgrades.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] The-Chief:
If I'm wrong, that's great. I'm just going by what the Verizon reps told me at the local corporate store. Just giving everyone as much warning as I know to do: I'd hate to see someone inadvertently lose their unlimited plan :)

Nah yoy can still upgrade and switch phones. You can alternate upgrade anymore. But you can. Upgrade a line with 2/30 and move that phone to your unlimited line.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] vmod32:
Last phone I got was the N4 at launch. Have not done this since. That's a real bummer if it's true as I still have 2 upgrades on my account.

EDIT:

I don't think this loophole is closed. I went through the whole checkout process and it's just like it always was. It let me transfer the upgrade to my line on my family plan with the $30/month 2gb data plan without forcing me into the More Everything plan or Edge. Same as I've always done once you get the phone you activate it normal make a call or two and then swap sim cards. I think they only closed the loophole for people doing this transfer to a dumb phone line. That's not the case for me since all lines have data. The rest of my 4 lines have unlimited data for $30/month -$20/month (old promo)=$10/month. So I'm 95% sure this still works, but won't know for sure as I waiting on the iPhone 6S for my sister and the Note 5 (unless something else interesting comes along) for myself before upgrading again.

Oh it looks like they jacked the upgrade fee to $40 now. Greedy a$$holes. If my plan was not so cheap I'd be gone (averages out to $44/month per line taxes & fees included).
