Good morning all!

Having some problems with V3 and I just can't figure it out. Could be because I'm so sleep deprived having a 2 week old in the house getting me up every 2 hours... Yeah, that's the excuse I'm using. Here's the report:

Summary:

Many apps are not able to access the storage

Repro Steps:

1. Had V2 installed with zero issues

2. Full wipe, installed a competitor's ROM with zero issues and played around with it for about 1/2 an hour before I decided it just wasn't as good

3. Full wipe, installed V3

4. Let everything settle, then installed all 44 apps from the Play Store and began setting accounts and stuff up.

5. Ran swiftkey and noticed that it was failing to download or install it's language pack (Unable to save language pack to storage)

6. Attempted to download Xposed Installer through Wanam Exposed via Dolphin, Firefox and ES File Downloader. All failed to download.

7. Was able to install Xposed Installer through Chrome, went to install the Installer and got the "Could not extract Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip" error (I thought this was fixed with V3?)

8. Checked ro.securestorage.support=false which is correct to access the externalSD

What the heck am I missing? Why are apps not able to access storage? Any ideas?

You didn't odin flash stock before flashing my rom, in between of flashing a certain other rom lol ...unfortunately not all roms are created equal and not all roms get wiped clean off your system when you wipe lol..odin flash anj7 and clean flash FireKat again...i won't name the rom but i already know which one it is...trust me your not the first lol sorry you had to go thru the hassle but as soon as you booted that other rom then immediately noticed lol...yes it was already the culprit in your system

Go into recovery and fix permissions. Its a permissions problem.

---------- Post added at 09:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 AM ----------

I see mega replied. He knows better than me! But fixing permissions helped me when I experienced that issue.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
That may help. ..but this issue is different to clean flashing and having an app or 2 have permission issues like we did fighting knox secure storage in v1/v2.. ..i knew this one as soon as the first few sentences were read becuase I dealt with it on n3 the same way unfortunately

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] elite-fusion:
How the heck are you getting anything over 5 hours lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lmao how many times are you gonna ask the same question to every single person that posts it? Lmao you guys getting under the standard time are the oddities not us getting the normal 5 plus hours...

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gregma:
That'll teach me! LOL Going back to stock immediately! Thank you kind sir!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol no sorry no way you could've known...but yea man that should clear up your issues and make for a much smoother ride next time round...then if for whatever reason you run into an app install issue doing that permissions fix into twrp would sort it right out

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] elite-fusion:
LMAO Mega, I am hoping that someone might be able to share the secrets, I do not have more than even 20 apps installed on top of stock. I froze a sh!t load of apps with TiBU, I followed all steps in OP2, I greenified most of my apps, (not all because have a widget, plus XDA, plus SD, and Google Voice) but the rest are all greenified, and the max I get is about 4.5 hours at most :(

Plus, always on Auto Brightness with -5 on top of it.

I just want to know the secret haha
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
There's no secret...you may have done more harm than good jacking with your system...i dont freeze or recommend freezing any system functions or apks...it's typically counterproductive...the benchmarks and battery life you see me post i do none of that. ..i dont even recommend greenify for xposed to avoid messing with the system...also you use your phone for 24 hours then get 4.5 hours screen on as if the screen total alone is the only data factor? why does an arbitrary mark matter in the context of the battery performance you're getting matter so much to you lmao...it's an arbitrary number... this is the first battery version of the benchmark "I gotta bigger "note" than you do lol"

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gregma:
Awesome! I've been flashing for many, many, many years. This is the first time I need to re-odin changing from one build to another. Is there something special about the Note4? Or about the other builds?

Thanks!

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea let's just say...it's not the devices fault lol...ive had to deal with the same issue on note 3 as well unfortunately

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] C-4Nati:
I screwed up, because I'm an idiot and can't read, I forgot to clear my fingerprints from the stock rom, so when I did my backup before flashing this rom for the first time it still included those prints. So, I flashed a camera mod on this rom and I didn't like the mod so I went to restore stock then clean install this again. Now on stock I can't unlock the phone via fingerprints, but the backup code still works, BUT, when I go into settings to delete the fingerprints the backup code won't work, says it's incorrect... I read in general flashing stock via Odin fixes this, was curious if anyone knew a fix for this that doesn't require odin? Just won't be at my PC for a while. Any help is appreciated.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No man unfortunately not...you need to re odin to be mainly ensure everything is as clean as possible in your underlying system. ..especially for something as integral as the biometric drivers ect for scanner...yea it's a bi*ch...but def worth it in the long run for issue free experience and getting all from the rom you should

How can I get Wi-Fi readings like these if Wi-Fi is toggled off? The first picture is overnight with Wi-Fi off. The second one is literally one minute after turning on Wi-Fi!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
It's simply because there's probably a quarter of your apps have wifi permissions...your essentially seeing a data readout of "wake locks" for lack of a better analogy of your wifi even though it's off. ..tbh like turning gps off. ..you probably drain as much or more battery having those apps ping wifi multiple times with it off vs leaving it on and allowing them to gather the data and go back to sleep. ..i always leave wifi on at home and turn it off when i leave. ..give that a shot and see if that doesn't improve your battery life somewhat...also leave gps on all the time. ..but turn off location history and reporting in google location settings..optimal battery and performance no loss of function or features

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PlatinumNick:
Problem solved for me

Now WiFi bar is not Solid like before in bettery status- also bettery consumption decreased - -

Open WiFi

Go into Advance settings

There is option to choose if Google use WiFi even in turned off position.

Untick that option.

And problem gone...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] twe90kid:
I'm not getting 5 hrs either.

I have greenify and power saving on.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] theonetruecoco:
Do not use power saving mode. It is counter productive to how rom is written.

I have gotten 3 hours screen time on 24% battery used so far....
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] djohnson1618:
it says that the codes dont match
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gregk232:
Greenify

Let me ask this...

Greenify does nothing more than hibernate apps you specify after they are not being used for a period of time.

This only helps with wakelocks causing your device to not enter deep sleep, right?

Running this Rom, I loose anywhere from 0% - 3% overnight leaving it unplugged. This is awesome, and I do not have Greenify installed.

Since my phone sleeps like a baby anyway, is there really any other reason to Greenify?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shaggyskunk:
That would be your problem ;)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
It's not just wake locks tho...some apps never let your note sleep at all...the rom should only lose around .3% greenified...in 8 hours I typically lose 1% sometimes none depending how many emails ect I get...and i keep my note cpu clocked min 1400 ghz at all times even asleep lol so even if your battery is good with greenify it'd that much better...now if you choose to use it or if that difference matters is a different story

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gregk232:
Thanks man... I'll do it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Wow, that's Google for you!!! Most times you love 'em, sometimes you hate 'em, lol!

I found something else I've never encountered before, lol! Two root explorer apps! One has root privileges, one doesn't! Never remember it being like this before, but it explains a lot (why I sometimes can't get root in the app) lol! Can I delete the non-root version?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gregma:
Hmmmmm. Didn't seem to work...

1. Odin flashed with N910TUVU1ANJ7_N910TTMB1ANJ7_N910TUVU1ANJ7_HOME.tar.md5.

2. Booted, then odin flashed openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-trltetmo.img.tar

3. Booted, then booted into TWRP, did a full wipe, then flashed V3

4. Booted, let it settle, then installed everything

5. Xposed wouldn't install, wouldn't download, swiftkey couldn't download language packs, etc.

....
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Really weird...do permissions in twrp...odd...by full full wipe did you by chance wipe your storage?

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gregma:
Doing that now. Yes, I wiped everything except the externalSD.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Ok then permissions should fix it...there's a note in the op instructions about that version of twrp and wiping internal storage...but nothing fixing permissions won't work out

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gregma:
That did it, permissions fixed things...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea I'm on that version of twrp as well...as far as I know that's the only issue with it. ..but once you fix the permissions thst don't get flashed properly with it your all set

I installed your lollipop sounds as posted. The settings allows me to select the new sounds, and recognizes them because I can hear them, but upon applying my notification sound is that annoying whistle regardless of what I select. Help! I hate whistling, lol....

Thanks! I'm enjoying your rom.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] paulie_gogetit:
Sorry I'm still new to the "permissions" part. I put root Explorer in /rw if that's what you mean.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] deeznutz1977:
rw, r, r usually. If you uncertain check the permissions of another thing in the same folder
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] blade7840:
Is that setting for all cores? And is 1400 ghz is both your min and max setting?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
If the issue is Greenify itself, there are alternatives. The important part is disabling unnecessary startups, widget refreshes, and connectivity checks.

(Apologies if that is heresy in a room of hardcore supporters)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] paulie_gogetit:
Perfect. I didn't realize you had to do this for each file. Love learning something new so quick. Thanks, man.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] blade7840:
What are your settings in multicore controller pro? Specifically your min and max cpu settings
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Art Vandelay:
I searched but couldn't find an answer.

LTE was working great since V1 and half way through V2, but now it's been saying simply 4G between V2 and V3. I reset and double checked APN settings, but can't get it to say LTE.

I'm using ATT on an unlocked TMo phone (SIM and region unlocked). Clean flashes all the way through.

Any ideas? Thanks.

im getting some suspect battery life too, if i were to flash stock thru odin would i lose all my internal memory?

No...did you flash the rom on the proper base anj7? Clean flash? Using mods? Power saving? Read op2

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tykalx:
i flashed proper base, i did clean install but i recover using titanium back up, i am now running mods, and no power savings.

i did read op2, i just wanted to know if ill lose internal sd over using odin, im not sure which rom you were speaking of with another poster, but i did flash most of them the last few days and i want to make sure im clean without losing all internals. love the rom, sir.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Ohhh ya...if you flashed a different rom in between your def gonna wanna clean flash odin root recovery...the only issue is you'll have to clean wipe to flash firekat unfortunately but the experience will be that much better after the fact

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tykalx:
i will definitely do so, but will i lose internal memory , you know pics/music/ringtones? btw thanks for being so helpful, its much appreciated.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Oh no as long as you don't wipe internal storage with twrp before flashing fk after odin flashing twrp. ..you won't lose anything on internal storage...just apps like always you know...but no odin flashing won't wipe your apps or storage and if you do advanced wipe in twrp you'll be fine

Advanced twrp flash is:

Data

System

Dalvik

Cache

Wipe. .

Sure thing man anytime

[emoji106] [emoji109] fist bump [emoji120] high five lol

Honestly I cannot overstate this point...of the 1000s and 1000s of user based issues this is by far the easiest preventative measure you can take. ..and the most substantial and beneficial return of the time and effort it takes when it pays you back 10 fold in a jam...so many people don't backup their sd/int storage and lose documents and music and literally memories and moments of people places and times with family and friends. ..you can never replace

Backup your storage periodically...i personally buy all class 6 samsung 32 GB cards...they're the most stable sd cards out, super fast, and Hella cheap, i always suggest picking up a second sd duping them and storing it away. ..best 18 dollars you'll ever spend as far as your phone...awesome advice and amazing point thank you for making it

I totally agree man!!! Colors and fitting are important to me too... (Semi-Obsessive?) Those two fit really well with the way my device is setup right now, and really easy to read thru everything... As I "version-up" (V-Up) I will keep the thread posted with shots, and you guys can let me know if I make any major faux-pas's's's <-haha

Sounds and audio tweaks are next (although I prob shouldn't go too far before getting v3 on this bad boy, or maybe just see if there is a v4 on the horizon and hold out for that puppy!!) haha

Thanks again for all of your hard work and patience with helping some of the newer of us on flashing and installation instructions!! It really helped dummy-proof it for me (which is always good for someone like me!!) :victory: :good:

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Oh for sure man.. the note 4 while being the most polished android/note to date which def lured alot of people...and tempted alot of people into getting into modding flashing. ..unfortunately it's also the most locked down and secure android experience with one of the most difficult building, flashing, and teething periods I've seen in a lot of builds over a handful of years and android versions...so while it's been a bit of a double edge sword I'm trying to weed it back down for us to as simple as a wipe and flash as it can be...but totally understand and remember how sketchy recovery and flashing used to be to me as well lol ... So as much as i can help out and with all the other awesome guys/gals on here helping out things are def looking good for our n4 looking forward bro
