I'm seriously considering a hybrid odexed/deodexed rom build for my Lollipop X-Series rom. Meaning some odexed and some deodexed (but not a complete deodexed system).

You see, upon updating to stock Lollipop you might notice that several apps will need to be updated. Updating these apps will do two things: first it will add the updated deodexed apk to the data/app directory along with corresponding libs if they apply.. Second it deletes the original odex & art files in the original app's system directory. So you ultimately end up with a deodexed system app for each app that you update from it's original stock form. So after thinking about this I am seriously considering deodexing only the files that I need to in order to do the mods etc that I want to do for the next version of Hybrid X-Series rom. After much thought, I honestly don't think this will have much if any negative effects to the rom's performance and general snappiness that is achieved by ART. I will leave all un-modded system files odexed in their original form and only deodex what I have to... which shouldn't be too many. i'll build an initial test release and let you all give it a workout and see if there is any noticable difference in snappiness etc. from stock. So everyone just continue running stock Lollipop and get used to the feel of it so that when you flash and run my new rom you will be able to notice any difference if there is any.

Be patient while I merge/port over the mods from 1.07 and get a new build ready for release. It might be a few days but i'll get it done as soon as i can. Thank you all for the continued support. :)

Thanks for all your hard work tx!

Anyone know if there is a way to change the file size limit for mms? Some pic mail goes through and others don't so I'm thinking it's an issue with the file size. I'm using textra and changed the the mms sizeto no limit but that didn't seem to help.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
Which rom are you currently using? Mms file size must be modified from stock to make it so that you can send/recieve larger files. This has to be done by editing smali in the apk. This may or may not be your problem though. Typically attachments get compressed if they're too large but you should still get them or else if they can't be sent, you will be given a notification that it can't be sent due to it's size, type, etc. This may not be of any help but it's all I have right now.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] thearch1tect:
My apologies for leaving that info out. I am running nk2 base ver 1.07 non dark. So it seems its an issue with textra. I know I had tested the stock messaging app before and some mms didn't go through but now its working fine through stock and not through textra.

Thanks for replying and sorry for bringing up what became a non issue.

Tried MOD for Lollipop N910PVPU1BOB7, with error messages

I am new here. I tried the mod with my lollipop N910PVPU1BOB7. Within Recovery, chose the zip file, the it gave me error messages:

dm-verity verification failed...

-- Install / sdcard...

Finding update package ...

Opening update package ...

Verifying update package ...

E: footer is wrong

Did I do something wrong?

Thanks for your help.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
I haven't tried this myself to verify but if what you say is true, you're trying to flash a KitKat ROM over a Lollipop ROM which recovery is not allowing.

If you want to revert to KitKat for this ROM, you should first backup app data and factory reset, power down and Odin the correct stock tar from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=56853325 then you can flash the ROM after rooting in Odin and get custom recovery with either Flashify or Odin. Or you could just Odin TWRP and flash the ROM in recovery; it includes root.

If you don't already have Odin and CF Auto Root, see post 3 of this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=55865427

Refer to OP for flash instructions for phones on KitKat.

I'm running the dark theme now and I'm loving it. I had to get a new phone because some a**hole stole my phone last night so I figure I'd flash dark this time. Everything seems to be running great. There are a few white on white and dark on dark texts but nothing I can't deal with. Thank you tx_dbs_tx

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
Thank you!

Well I'm sure most of you know that I've been working on the stock base roms so now that i'm finished with them i can focus on this modified stock rom. I plan to revise my OP soon and most likely will be removing some or all of my previous rom links from the OP to make room for the new Lollipop stuff. I got a head start with the new dark them for my Lollipop rom and I need to finish it as soon as i can. Like before, I plan to gift the dark theme to my donators as a thank you. I may or may not make the dark theme public. I haven't decided. I just want some way to show my appreciation to those of you who have been kind enough to take the time to donate to me for my efforts. Besides the dark theme, i will be working on my new custom lollipop rom so look for it soon. I'm testing out some things and might possibly unlock the missing air & finger gestures for my rom along with the usual mods from previous KK build.

Lollipop

Hey all, many thanks to all who participate in this forum. The talk/instructions helps this newbie tremendously. I'm wanting to make a move to Lollipop. I saw that someone, several pages, back posted a link to Tx's stock lollipop. I read, however, that I cannot just download and flash in TWRP. So...(help a newb) how do I "odin" back to stock - where do I get stock at? I've searched/googled but want to make sure. I've learned to trust the jargon in this forum and wonder if someone could give me a few step by steps to do so. Thanks in advance!!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Soulforged666:
I completely understand. All you have to do is follow the instructions here and tou will be great.

http://xdaforums.com/note-4-sprint/general/stock-n910pvpu1anie-stock-tar-t2944867

This is exactly what I followed when I unrooted KK. I then used Kies to install the lollipop update and re-rooted using the same method as originally rooted.

Sent from my SM-N910P (Note 4)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jhill110:
OK, imo this is the easy way:

First get your ducks in a row:

MAKE A BACKUP!

Download the OB7 stock tar from the general section here:

http://xdaforums.com/note-4-sprint/general/stock-n910pvpu1anie-stock-tar-t2944867

Save it to your odin folder. If you need odin it's in the op with the tar complete with instructions.

Now head over to tx's stock lollipop rom's and download the one you want HERE:

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=3060130

If you don't have TWRP recovery stored on your PC get it here:

http://dl.twrp.me/trltespr/twrp-2.8.6.0-trltespr.img.tar

Boot into Download mode - Power off, press and hold Home + Volume Down + Power. Press Volume Up when the screen comes up

Start Odin and select the stock tar you saved by clicking the PDA button.

Plug in your phone and when odin see's it (upper left you'll see COM and a number) hit start. The process will take a few min's and the phone will reboot.

Now go back into Back into download mode as above and odin TWRP. Phone will reboot. Go into Recovery (Home + Volume Up + Power) and follow TX's instructions in his thread where you got his Stock rom

BAM!(a little emril there) That's it! Hope I made sense.

advice!

Hello everyone, I recently took the OTA Lollipop update from Sprint, my phone is still not rooted, what should I do first to start getting the fun of this rom in my phone?:confused: any input will be appreciate it.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jhill110:
This is a Kitkat based rom not lollipop. So unless you want to downgrade back to kk I would suggest you follow the link to tx's lollipop roms two posts up and flash one of those. They are pre-rooted and de-knoxed. Instructions are there also.

Keep an eye on this thread tho because Tx is working on some great mod's that will be for lollipop like those for these rom's. I'm waiting patiently... :rolleyes:

Enjoy!

I know the Sprint lollipop is 5.0.1, right? is there gonna be a long rebuild of everything in a couple months when 5.1 is released? or should that be a simple non-wipe update to this, specifically the dark theme hehehe

thanks! much love
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jhill110:
Looks very good so far.

A question:

Can I drop the "android.policy.jar" in the framework back up folder I created at your suggestion or would that cause issues? I'd like to keep the 4 way (digg'n it) without copying it again if I had to go back to stock with those folders...

Thx Tx :good:
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
Yes currently we have 5.01. There's really no way to know for sure what all changes will be in 5.1 but from the build number it will be significant. It may or may not get updated apps etc. We'll have to wait and see. the dark theme will definetely have to be redone completely but i know what I will have to do to port it over to 5.1 when it comes out. That's not a problem. The mods on the other hand will most likely need to be redone as well because with a jump in the build number's second digit i can guarantee there will be new code everywhere. Using old files in the new 5.1 build will not be an option. If people do that then they have no business building roms in the first place. I hope that help you understand this better.

Yes. Just create a seperate backup directory and name the main directory so you know those files are modded.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] unxguyjr:
I am on the Odexed version of you stock base, applied this update...I have the flash light toggle and the dark them in settings is very nice. I have looked to make sure that any odexed files are gone, but the one thing I am not seeing is the 4-way reboot. Only thing that show is confirm to reboot. I do not have any other mods...other than a full wipe and clean start (again) is there something I can check or try to fix.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jhill110:
Re flash the mod maybe?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
If 4 way reboot is working for the rest of you then there must be a difference somewhere. My guess is that you're on the odexed rom. You might have to manually hot swap the modded files and set permissions. So extract the zip then copy the three files to your internal or external storage. then swap out secsettings and systemui first... then set permissions & reboot. Last swap out android.policy. If or when your phone freezes up just let it sit untill it either recovers or automatically reboots. At the first opportuinity you need to go back in and set permissions for android.policy. Keep in mind that if you hotswap a file and go to change tit's permissions and they are already showing to be correct, you need to hot swap the file one more time then set permissions & reboot because it didn't take. this should fix you up.

Edit: FYI. I always hot swap all of my mods when testing so this is obviously my method of choice so don't sweat if if flashing the zip isn't working for anyone. Just do the hotswap method using root explorer. I highly recommend root explorer (the paid version to support the developer) because it is always works for hot swapping when other root file browsers do not take consistently. And for me this is a very important thing.

I have been feeling under the weather for the past several days but starting to feel better. this has kept me from doing much at all. Bear with me while i get better and can focus on getting some work done on the new rom, mods, etc.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] notmyepic:
I am on Odexed and do not have the 4 way reboot or toggles. I did a clean flash, have removed odex files (don't know if Android policy has one) wiped caches, rebooted many times. I also tried to push Androidpolicy.jar with no effect. I can't think of anything else
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] majorcedar:
I'm running Tx's rooted 5.0.1. I'd love to have the 4-boot option, volume/loudness-tweak and the flashlight app. Will (or are) these available?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Soulforged666:
I know the 4 way reboot is working on his updated version available to donators now. Same with flashlight.

Not sure about volume tweak. What do you mean? No warning or make the volume go louder? Ive seen both mods but TX usually only has the warning tweak I think.

I promise I don't ignore or intentionally miss anyone. If I can't positively identify you then i wait untill i get more info. Anyways, thanks for the support.

I'm gonna get back to work on the rom and hopefully get more things done soon. I think for my X-Series Lollipop ROM, the most important thing I want to get accomplished is the dark theme. I want it to be perfect with no issues. To me this is what set's my rom apart from others as well as the concept of being the best "stock" experience you can get. This rom is intended for those of us who want their phones' to look and appear as if it come from the factory this way and include all the mods & features we all want. Please be patient while I work on the rom. FYI 5.1 is a LONG ways off so no need to fear an ota anytime soon. Expect only 5.0 carrier specific bug fixes via ota.

Off topic. Theming the rom dark and keeping it compatible with all other google apps etc is tricky. Changing TW text & background colors most always effects other apps throughout the rom as well as apps that you download from Google Play. So inverted theming isn't quite as simple as you would expect. You have to plan ahead and test things as you go as well as make edits that circumvent some inherited theming elements so not to cause problems down the line in other apps. Yes quickly slapping together a black or dark theme can be done but it will have issues everywhere. I have every intention of getting everything right to the best of my ability with attention to detail. Thanks for the support everyone.

thanks u for your hard work

i have 1 Q :

my device is sprint note 4 lolipop rom ( yours :D ) not activated to sprint ( new off contract from amazone ) flashed to my country telecom after unlocking the msl using msl uitility .

i cant find any setting for hotspot , so i flashed your file to enable .

still no chocie , so i install galaxy tool and try it , still no luck ,,, but i enable all toggle using galaxy tool and one of them is mobile hotspot

and by chance i press the toggle and the mobile hotspot work !!!! but i cant enter the setting to know the password :eek:

when i long press the toggle , it move me to the setting ( Hotspot and Tethering ) but no choice there ( empty )

i have try most of the rom here odex and deodexed stock in this form ( yours and others ) and searched other website to just reach a dead end :eek:

can i have an answer for this problom ?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Soulforged666:
Your phone should automatically make the default password your phone number. Go to settings, status, my phone number. Try that exact number without dashes and see if it works.

Not sure why you can not get into the settings... It should be under network connections.

I cant see the items in those links. Post screenshots instead. Use the attachments option when you create your post here. I think your problem must be carrier provisioning. APN settings need to be accessible so you can change to your network. Build prop will need to be efited also. Using a Sprint rom isnt exactly ideal for your network. You meed to have the rom ported properly.

screenshot attach .

every thing in this phone work good except hotspot

i have use two network ( Yemen mobile Cdma and Zain Gsm ) they all work fine ( data and voice ) i can access Apn and change it .

my friend flash using dfs and update the prl after unlocking the msl .

sprint rom is more stable than other rom , that way i want to make native hotspot work .

is there a soluition ?

OK guys. I have been working on the dark theme getting more things done with it. I will upload a new flashable zip tonight or tomorrow. I have more things done and looking pretty nice. As for the flashlight toggle you have to manually edit your settings.db using sqlite editor. Untill I actually build and release the actual Hybrid X-Series 2.0 rom, this will be the only way to enable the flashlight toggle as well as other toggles. If somebody could help explain to people how to enable these toggles it would be helpful. I'm gonna sign off and continue working on this theme. The theme is my main focus right now then I will get the mods done. Mods are pretty straight forward but theming isn't so much. Theming is a lot more trial & error and takes more time getting things just right. Donators can check out the dark theme pt 2 later tonight or sometime tomorrow. You all will get to follow the progress of the rom as i get things done. Ahead of the actual rom release.

If I do that will I need to flash the pt1 file before the new one or can we go straight from stock deodex to pt2 and have the whole shabang?
