Thank you for your response. Looking into AEL kernel. Just wanted to verify that the Note 4 is not recognizing the Gear VR is normal symptom of not having the right kernel. Trying to avoid flashing something then finding out the Gear VR was the problem. I normally don't use Nandroid back-up, but if I do I should be able to restore my Note back from the backup even if I mess something up. MY note is currently my main cellphone.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tkoreaper:
Well, on mine I would just get a blue screen when using the wrong kernel.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sfsilicon:
Thanks. Will just try it out. Starting my backup.

Got this to work using AEL kernel. Was a straight forward flash using TWRP.

Also resolved the issue where nothing was happening and the VR software was not installing. I was not inserting the note 4 properly. It needs to snap in to work. If it isn't flush and you didn't hear a click then you're most likely not inserted correctly.

Idk from first hand experience tbh...he said his pro apk is pretty minimal battery use on his fk setup...I'm guessing the free would be similar

Hey guys. Thanks for this great ROM, it's been serving well for a few months now.

I'm just experiencing an issue with compass calibration since I made the switch.... When I dial *#0*# and select Sensors, the following numbers should be seen in the black circle:

0 - Compass needs to be calibrated

3 - Compass is calibrated

I can calibrate the compass (I use 'GPS Status' app from Play Store) which works great, but then the calibration is lost after reboot. Am I the only one with this issue ?

Kernel?

Stock with flashable here or use another and firmware you came from?

---------- Post added at 07:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 AM ----------

Hey, any thoughts on why LP OTA is so much smaller then the firmware download from SamMobile?

As far as I remember most people were getting larger OTA's... But maybe not? Just curious..

All d/l are 1.7GB but OTA is 990mb..is that bloat that's already on and not loading again? Lol

I refreshed my other note back to kk two days ago.. OTA popped up last night..

Not going back (at least not anytime soon but was intrigued by the size difference..
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] fragtion:
Thanks for response

I was using this kernel for a while: http://xdaforums.com/note-4-tmobile/orig-development/30-november-2014-n4-ael-kernel-t2961240

I had similar problems with compass with that kernel, but could not even calibrate it at all. At least now it calibrates... but it seems to lose this calibration on reboot.

I noticed that the kernel was replaced when I installed FireKat... and I've stuck with been using since. Should I flash another kernel or something?

In terms of firmware, I tried CM12 but then went back to Stock Touchwiz (full reset) prior to upgrading to FireKat... nothing else apart from that

Aside from a hw issue...Odin flashing ank4 and reflashing fk clean will sort any issues and you'll know if it's hw or a fw corruption...esoecially important if you didn't Odin ank4 prior to flashing fk after cm....cm has been causing severe base corruptions when cross flashing including about a half dozen "hw failures" that were merely the base corrupted by cm that Odin sorted then they could reflash fk...Odin flash stock then test your compass that'll tell you instantly if it's your note hw or not

A couple more great battery days.. 10/11+ hrs sot. .. One from few days ago and other was yesterday..

The one quick line break was a reboot in the afternoon when my Bluetooth disconnected and then wouldn't reconnect to my headset or speaker..

Lots of basic browsing, Forums, etc first half of day. Bluetooth on good chunk with couple hours of audio/video later on.. Only short bits of gps.. 17hr day

(btw I am embarrassed a bit that I avg 7+ sot and get many 10/11hr days.. Waaaaay too much time on phone lol.. Need to cut that back.. I do get some good productive time and plenty of tech audio/video streaming... But still way too long lol)

I've typically been anti stock browser for years but do have to give credit on it getting much better and is rather decent on here.. I am however a Chrome junkie and just can't get away from it.. Not sure if I could make the full switch but maybe will start using stock a bit more..

Any major thing in it you miss? And any big features it has over others?

It is fast, I'll give it that..

re: rom issues

Have you checked in "Settings">Security>Reactivation lock and make

sure that the "reactivation lock" is NOT checked? (uncheck it)?

Good luck!

I didn't know that was there (came from the nexus 5) but it's unchecked when I just looked.

Hi,

Sorry to ask , but i can't find on the instructions . Do I need to wipe if coming from V2?

Clean flash is always recommended :thumbup:

sent from Canada my Note 4, 3, 2 or One X+
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nvrblnk:
Yup it's checked. And for what it's worth, I get an automatic reboot in TWRP regardless of whether I'm trying to flash from internal or external memory

I'm trying to flash but I'm getting an error something that impossible to write I'm on V2 .. will try again and post the right error. ..
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wase4711:
were you on the latest base before you started flashing stuff?

are you on the latest twrp?

did you try re downloading the rom, in case of a bad download
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mikeku:
The error "error executing updated binary" will download again an try ..

I'm on V2 now no problem so far.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I test flashed v3 in a multitude of ways trying to forsee and ward of any problems...i couldn't force a twrp error...so if anyone is having issues flashing first thing is check your bootloader...go into download mode and check that your bootloader actually flashed properly...i noted that odin has been having issues flashing boot/baseband on a whole list of devices so i strongly recommend downloading another, newer if possible, or just different version of odin 3.06 or 3.07...i will post my personal odin I flash with when I get home in a while but that's the only thing I narrowed a flash issue down to...unless you had another invalid flash of twrp regardless check bootloader...dont half way check in about phone but check bootloader in download mode...when I get back on if one of these awesome cats around can post a screen of proper new boot/download mode screen to compare

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
re: "error executing updated binary"

The "error executing updated binary" usually applies to some

issue dealing with supersu and or root.

If you are still seeing that error then odin flash cf-autoroot again.

Good luck!

No issues with att lte here so...the rom wouldn't have anything to do with your lte tbh....check your apn settings...the only thing that would mess it up is if you flashed the rom on the wrong base stock rom and baseband

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
I know most here think the Note4 camera is the best thing since sliced bread.. And yes it is pretty amazing (minus one major flaw imo) but I've now used the S6 camera and it is phenomenal.. And f1.9 aperture! It is pretty sweet. White balance is a bit off to start.. But correctable.

Also can't wait to see how the LG G4 will be with that f1.8 aperture model.. That is something that has been needed for a while now in camera phone progression.. Larger aperture.. It's not the be all and end all but is a big thing.. Along with OIS, big sensor, etc..
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Ime the shots were almost identical as both n4 and s6 use the Sony imx240 sensor...the aperture is increased slightly as you mentioned which should help a little in low light....but for most other shots they will be essentially identical bar minor software calibration variances , if any, between the image interpolation software and camera apks...ime shot vs shot they were almost identical obviously in a bright store

I'm more interested in the intl n4 isocell tbh

I have no idea what I'm about to ask, but Mega, would it be possible to integrate the camera 2 api in a future LP rom? I know Samsung didn't do it, but I'm just asking about the possibility of someone like you being able to do it to the LP Touchwiz rom.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Is it possible to enable? It may be "possible" to enable at fw/system level...that I'd have to be seriously into a lollipop build before I'd be able to tell if that's even doable to enable it for 3rd party apps ect or higher quality photos whatever

that said...it will never possible to rebuild the samsung camera apk like I did with fk but adding on sort of full dslr level api2 benefits to it...as that would take entirely rebuilding not only parts of the ui of the camera....but actually building in source/base functions to the camera itself ect it's just not possible without the actual source function codes/scripts ....so really either way it's kinda pointless at this point with them not having added it... as had they added a complete new camera 2 setup then it could've been a normal rebuild like I've done with fk as is just with a more complex or advanced set of features and options with the camera basically...the main focus of it is especially more manual control options ...but very few apps can even take advantage of it...the app has to be api2 compatible

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
I'm no expert but the fact we can compare between a tiny cellphone camera's quality to a digital camera's quality is amazing dude. Mega went through tons of his own personal time to mod the stock camera (nevermind develop firekat itself!) for the sharpness, clarity, speed and overall quality of every single shot so that we can enjoy (take a look at Phone's pictures they and tell me you don't think that's digital camera quality right there!!! [emoji13]) Compare a stock note 4 camera shot to a stock firekat note 4 camera shot and you see a huge difference, do the same but during the night or shooting a moving object and firekat comes on top by miles. This is with auto settings too, nevermind setting up personal settings to really get the shot your desire. Ibwas never a camera guy until i used this beast and thats because I can see a clear difference in the shot it takes! [emoji1] For the average user I don't think we can see these "flaws" as you call them to be honest or at least I cannot. I use my firekat note 4 camera for work daily and people ask what digital camera I use haha! I'm confident i can bet the s6 vs firekat n4 camera are not far off from each other either, I simply feel we have the best modded device from 2014-2015 which can easily hold its own against next top of the line devices for the next 1-2 years minimum [emoji4]
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:

Not to be a party pooper but I must point out that clock cycles or GHz on a phones processor are not the equivalent of a PCs clock cycles. PCs processors can do much more work per cycle that a phone. Think of it like car engines: Imagine you have two cars, both four cylinder engine, and both running at 2000 rpm, but one engine is a 1.8 liter Honda Civix engine, and the other is a 2.2 liter Ford Focus engine. Both four cylinders at the same rpms, but one is bigger.
