[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
full circle ..

now to begin (again) :D

i got a pm today from [MENTION=4685802]AlkaliV2[/MENTION] offering his time to try to have rapture continue on without me owning the device, then i noticed the posts here, and i started to think about my time working with the note 4, and my users which i felt i let down..

the last thing i wanted to do was work with samsung devices, the last thing i wanted to do was walk into a tmobile store again, lets just say samsung quality control has been a bit off lately, and my tmobile store experiences have left a bad taste in my mouth! i will say this calling tmobile has always been a great experience tho, and is the reason im still with them!

but enuff of me rambling, the end result is best described with not words.. but a picture!

thank u guys for ur support and kind words! :good:

1. look here

please excuse the crappy quality!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mike28:
Yessssss nice to have you back Ok one request if possible could you make a 5.1 rom kind of like Arcadia 5.1 runs so smooth lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ruvelojr:
can't stay away...

Welcome back man..exciting stuff here
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
thanks man!!! im a bit out of the loop as far as the note 4 goes.. i will say this .. rapture 4.0 will be a bit different, i will explain this, but know one thing.. what matters to me most is .. stability, battery life, and performance! it will always be my main concern

themes r nice, mods r fun, but at the end of the day, we need to depend on this device, and i hope i can continue to make roms with that in mind! :good:

thank u very much man!.. i will start work on 4.0 in a bit!! just have to flash twrp and destroy my warranty :p
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mike28:
Thanks my friend anything you need I'm here
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
the game plan?

Q.OK MR B4STiD!, WHAT NOW? AND WHAT IS 4.0 GOING TO BE LIKE??

A. well, first the OP will under go a make over!.. mixed in with me working on 4.0 .. rapture will be a bit different, but will be very much stock, and in ways mods done will be, well.. there for those that look! ..

in simple terms.. i want u guys to only know ur using based on the improvements speed, battery and stability wise, a hint would be, u hand ur buddy ur phone and he would not know he is using custom fw! another hint? arcadia for the s6 ...

so, in closing the OP will look like a wreck and i cant give u a eta for the update, as i have to take this slow as my neck is still not normal but i work fast, the OP will be the biggest pita, so i figure get that done first!.. so with saying all that .. time to work :good:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
a look ahead
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dana223:
I can't download the baseband and bootloader from the link you provided.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] semakawa:
Patiently waiting for the new release. Thanks for coming back and for your hard work.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] AlbGol:
Hey my friend, i replaced my note 4 couple weeks ago and they shipped me a N910T3 device, which comes with cog1 5.1.1 installed already. When u announced u hot a note 4 i was praying to god u got a n910t3 as well, now i see thats not the case from that picture :( u can have a glimpse of my disappointment now...... oh well???

I am running echoe rom for now as my choices are limited with my model, i am happy with it all around 5.1.1 is much better than what u guys have at the moment improvement of speed stability and battery life which is hands down unbelievable about 7+ hours of sot. I told you all this so you know what to expect when u get the update.

But despite all that I could give an arm and a leg to be here with you in the same page and never go with anything else. Thats how much respect i have for you and your work.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mgbotoe:
Imma tie you down to a specific device! haha welcome back though
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TheKucho:
Welcome back iB4s!! Been running v3.1 since I got this phone and I refuse to switch! It's great to have you back!!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] HockeyNinja:
ZOMG!! This is great news!! I'm so happy! You made my day iB4STiD!! I recently flashed a few other roms when I heard you were moving on, but none of them ran as smoothly and all had one showstopping issue or another. Thanks so much for all your hard work and can't wait for the next release! Woooohoooo!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] force70:
Its always a great day when one of the best developers on XDA decides to start development again and he also happens to pick up a device i also own.

A good day indeed.

Welcome back IB4, you were sorely missed my friend.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] scloutkst:

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
my pleasure man!. good to be back, funny how things come full circle :good:

hey man!! .. thank u very much my friend!! i mean that!!! . u know what i didnt even realize there was a T3 variant, i have been out of the loop, stupid question did tmobile send this or is tis from a different source? .. thats interesting tho .. but the good news is [MENTION=4401403]friedrich420[/MENTION] does great work! on a side note im guessing when tmobile gets 5.1.1 u might be able to use those roms as well

ya, its been crazy... we have to get on the same page!! i need u around! :good:

thank u very much appreciate that :good:

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jaleroca:
I'm happier than a tornado in a trailer park that you're back.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] AlkaliV2:
I hate that I am responding so late to this, but I was on campus for 12 hours today and just now getting home. Some context to the message: I PM'ed iB4STiD about continuing this ROM because it is a very active thread and several users were requesting a 5.1.1 release. In no way did I think I could replace or create something as amazing as what he built, but I was going to try and copy it exactly and apply it to 5.1.1 because there are so many improvements for 5.1.1 Android. Fast forward to this morning and I see a mention of my name and to my surprise iB4STiD has purchased another Note 4. I'm an adult who only gets excited about certain things and let me tell you, I am excited.

I wrote that message because I felt like your ROM links a lot of people together in the Note 4 community. Lots try out other ROMs and end up right back here. Users see there is something special about your ROM and some run it no matter what updates happen. When you announced you were moving on I was trying to think of how I could help. The only way I could think to contribute to what you had done for this ROM was to figure out what made it special, try building it myself with a few guides, and share it under your banner. As interesting as it would be to see if I could make something close to your work I much prefer to see the original author making something that has no equal.

You've made a big impression here with your work on Android ROMs. You have done exceptional work for the XDA community that hundreds, if not thousands, of users are thankful for; across all your devices. So we will appreciate your work as long as you are willing to release it regardless of what device and carrier decisions you make in the future. When you decide that you are ready to move on, no matter when that is, you can bet that users in this thread will be happy for you and want the best for you in your life the same way you've done your best for us and our devices.

iB4STiD is back on Rapture and the Note 4 never looked better! :good:

[MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION]

Nobody seems to know exactly what the n910t3 is, besides the 3 at the end is exactly the same phone except the 5.1.1 firmware with no possibility to downgrade. Take a look around if u can, if its not to much at the moment of course, if anything it will give an idea what 5.1.1 is all about, and prepare you for the future updates anyway. it want be work lost if u decided to do so.

All the best my friend!!

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] digweed4me:
Cog2 is that mean 5.1.1?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pookybear:
I flashed this on my note edge w LLFK. It works!

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RizzoPro:
Welcome Back!! I always love your roms more than the others as they always seem to work better for me, thank you!!

Is there a permissive kernel I might be able to use with your latest version?

Thanks again, many kudos to you!!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
re: COG2

COG2 is NOT 5.1.1 it's 5.0.1

Good luck,

Have a great day,

---------- Post added at 04:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 AM ----------

Does your edge's side panel still work properly after flashing this rom?

Also which edge do you you have, Note Edge, S6 Edge or the new S6 Edge+ ?

Good luck,

Have a great day!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hurtz777:
IB4 welcome back man! Did you include the disable high volume warning in 4.0?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pookybear:
Note edge. Side panel is gone.

The only thing I notice is when I use the camera, its offsetted slightly to the right of the screen. So there's a black strip on the left. DPI change fixes this.

I've tried different edge ROMs. Somehow, note 4 ROMs are snappier, smoother and no freezing moments. I could live w/o the side panel. :good::o
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] masri1987:
haha [MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION]

I literally ditched my S6 and went back to the N4 this morning!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] arjuna_:
Great ROM! Loving the speed so far. I have a question for anyone that might understand my issue as I think it is sort of unique. I'm using a Canadian Note 4, N910W8, but in the USA with T-mobile. I want to know if it is possible for me to do WiFi Calling and/or VoLTE on T-Mobile. I've tried several kernels but have had 0 success especially with WiFi Calling. It always gets stuck on "Enabling..." If anyone can help me with this I'd appreciate it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tokoam:
I LOVE ME SOME iB4STiD always have good stable roms thanks ! ill be testing her out
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] semakawa:
Since iB4STid is came back this thread is full of life. I'm so happy. Now I'm at work but can't wait to install this new version. For now I'm on v3.1 and it's runing like a Ferrari.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] :
Welcome back! Best ROM for the Note 4. Keep up the awesome work.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cguarino:
iB4, fantastic work, as always! Thanks for coming back!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] scloutkst:
Holy crud. This is awesome. Thanks for Coming back! The lack of ****ing development for this phone had pissed me off to no end. This is just what I needed to keep me from sellng this piece.

On a side note this guy is getting a nexus, next time around. Samsung screwed the pooch with no more battery or SD card.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jonnoh:
When I went from 5 to 5.0.1 I used Smart Switch (worked great) to take the update. I was no longer rooted after the update and have stayed that way for the past few weeks. I would like to jump back in to a custom ROM (especially since you have updated Rapture). Will installing v4 also re-establish root for me or do I just need to re-root first? Glad to see you are sticking around and thanks for all your hard work and efforts!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] maxyoda:
Small contribution.

Confirmation: 27E507903A209902R for $35. I am very appreciative of your Rapture ROM for the Note4. Have a few coffees on me...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] masri1987:
so i flashed a theme from the themes section and adaway is gone , so is superuser, and where was app ops tobegin with in settings?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
ya i will look into this .. very interesting . as for 5.1.1 no worries there working with the s6 will give me a head start for when the note 4 gets the update, im interested in the security sammy may place in the kernel, but we shall see :)

thanks for the feedback man!! appreciate the kind words man!! :good:

5.0.1 still :good:

nice :good:

thank u kind sir!!!.. give bioshock kernel a go!. :good:

thank u kind sir!!.. i will try to get an addon made for that :good:

thanks u my friend!!!.. ya i will be here for a bit.. i will support the note 4 and moto x pure when it comes out :good:

thanks man!!.. as for canadian users and wifi calling, dont think there is a way to get that to work!.. i think there will be a time when all carriers offer wi-fi callling.. but time will tell :good:

thanks man!!! appreciate that :good:

thank u very much kind sir!! good to be back!! and i really appreciate the kind words :good:

as always thank u my friend!!! i really appreciate ur feedback!!! thank u mike :good:

my pleasure my friend!!! thank u! :good:

my pleasure kind sir!!! im glad to be back!!! :good:

thank u very much for the feedback man!! :good:

thank u very much for the feedback!! :good:

my pleasure my friend!!.. look at the mot x pure.. seems like a great new device on the way .. and as u said there are nexus options coming :good:

my rom will root ur device for u .. so flash twrp n flash my rom, and ur done! just make sure ur baseband & bootloader match the fw im using in the rom!! :good:

wow man! thank u very very much for that!! that was beyond nice of u!! again thank u kind sir :good::good:

yes.. any mod made to secsettings, will remove my mods.. i would need permission from the dev who made the theme to add my mods to the theme ur using!.. i could make a addon which will make adaway and supersu visible but it will remove app ops as well

i will add this info to the Q&A section .. and if u guys want the addon to do what i mentioned let me know :good:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] scloutkst:
Their has to be a minor hardware revision with the T3, as flashing the stock 5.1.1 firmware to the regular note 4 caused a bootloop or something along those lines. Other Dev's have fixed the issue and ported 5.1.1 to the regular note 4. I'm running 5.1.1 echo rom currently.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
ah,.. i rather make a rom with having the correct kernel and baseband! i have never been one to like to port something, the only exception was when i made international roms work with the att, tmobile Canadian variant of the s4, but only if att,tmobile canada had a kernel and baseband that was using the matching version of android . fw version can be different, but at least have a kernel and baseband for that version of android.

this keeps bugs and oddities down when porting, otherwise it can be a headache i could live without! but again thats just my thinking! nothing wrong with trying to get users newer fw b4 its officially out! . but its just not my thing
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] scloutkst:
Oh don't get me wrong I wasn't asking for a port. Was just stating that their was a hardware revision of some sort is all. Just glad to have you back on the scene.

On a side note everyone should be Pleasantly surprised, as 5.1.1 seems. To have finally made the note run the way it should. Seems much smoother better battery life and all.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
no way man! i understand!!! .. ive known u for a bit i know what u mean!!!.. but ur right last night i was looking at a youtube overview of 5.1.1 think it was the polish region release, but it ran very nice .. im looking forward to getting my hands on it and trying to make it even better :good:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Rollablunt420:
Is this stock kernel?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] neoissa:

Why not 5.1.1? Its out of date to release 5.0.1 ROM in the end of August :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mgbotoe:
Than you will have to just run this out of date ROM lol. Given how 5.1.1 is not out for the device frankly, I fail to get your logical statement.

Though, you can also develop an up to date 5.1.1 ROM for us as well. The more the merrier.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] boostnek9:
This is such a rude thing to say....

Why not make your own ? Do some reading and you may understand why not 5.1.1

Oh God yes please I am running echo rom rom with all the Samsung and TMOBILE bloatware and still smooth if you turn that rom into slim rapture rom it will awesome
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Rockishi:
Baseband & Bootloader vs. Entire Stock Firmware

Hello, does installing the stock 5.0 firmware from the Sammobile website do the same as installing the baseband and bootloader separately? What are the differences? Do they ultimately both install the same components but the entire firmware includes the stock ROM and takes longer? Thanks for the clarification.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] boostnek9:
Installing the firmware from sammobile will flash everything. It will revert to stock recovery and software.

Installing the baseband and bootloader will not remove your custom recovery leaving you with less to do to flash custom roms..
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ctrlaltdeln:
"Why not 5.1.1? Its out of date to release 5.0.1 ROM in the end of August"

Wow, incredibly rude thing to say. -1

I have played with every rom in development for N4, nothing comes even close to Raptures stability and performance. [MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION] donation coming your way........thanks for doing this +1
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] force70:
Lol....okay n00b. Last time i checked there is no Tmo firmware based on 5.1.1. This rom is Tmo based...im sure you can figure out the rest (well not that sure)

In the meantime please troll elsewhere.

thanks guys!! appreciate that, but dont worry bout that users comment! . :eek::cowboy::cool::good:

no worries, im sure 5.1.1 for tmobile officially isn't that far off! when it drops, rapture will be updated :good:

+1 :good:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] macgyver40:
Ok you left or something so I jumped to an active rom. Now I want this rom. I guess I have to find a PC and update my baseband etc and install this. Just hope I don't miss some of the fancy mods built into the rom. Having a fully functional spen would be nice though and I could do without some of the mods or very confused thread.

2.15am. Sleep first install after.

Glad your back.
