Changelog

1. Updated Superuser

2. 300 fonts, Holy #*!! Batman

3. Surround Sound out the box!!! My Ears!!!!!!

4. Echoe Boot animation

5. Adaway added

6. Reverted to sprintmms, so mms works out the box, have a new port with save message to sd but unsure of sim error

7. Updated kernel to N4 AEL 5.1 blazing and extreme battery life depending on setting, duh!!!

Still old base. Having trouble with systemui.apk from echoe playing nicely with NK2. Please don't ask for an eta. As of right now, I believe there is no performance improvement in NK2 over this rom. This is the fastest, smoothest, most customizable rom on the sprint note 4 to date. Thanks again to tx_dbs_tx for the base and Friedrich420 for Echoe and the N4 AEL kernels.

This can be dirty flashed over RC1, when it boots, it will restart all apps. After startup, update su binary, reinstall xposed framework(not the app newbies!!!!) then reboot. All your previous xposed settings will be back to the way you had them set up.

I jumped into NK2 for 2 days. I downloaded odin version from sammobile.com. I can attest that there are no performance improvements. In fact, I was greatly disappointed by the performance. Antutu stability test indicated that it is marginally stable and heats up the phone under stress. Most performance bench marks were greatly inferior to NIE stock. I hope Echoe can smooth NK2 out.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pongoface:
Once we get a stable base. Maybe lol
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Patch7:
Was wifi calling removed?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pongoface:
no but pulling link for the moment, as upload went bad

I only ask because it is not anywhere on the new one in settings

[MENTION=782186]pongoface[/MENTION] Hey bro you mine updating the AELKernel zips on the echoerom website to 5.1? I would love to just update the kernel, as I sadly already odin'd to NK2 :rolleyes:
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pongoface:
Fixed RC2 uploading now... should be up in 2 hours or less.....Hold tight

Sorry for the delay as I had my own Note 4 problems. I now have been officially updated to NK2 firmware and bootloader. BTW, all NK2 owners, this rom will flash and run properly on your phone. You will retain your modem, firmware, and bootloader with all the goodies of EchoeHybrid.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pongoface:
Kernel folder updated with newest AEL kernel v5.1. BTW, I am now on NK2 as well. Kind of was pushed off the cliff to take it lol. Anyways, I am rocking Echoe RC2 with no hiccups.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Herk718:
Niiice, Thanks Bro! :good:
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] thearch1tect:
Looking forward to giving this a whirl! Still running stock rooted and have the itch to flash!

I was using the NK2 but I'm coming back because the battery life on this room is better,
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ryanalan82:
So did u Odin the stock NK2 to get the firmware and bootloader? Is that what everyone else here will have to do pretty much before we will move on to ur new base when that's ready? I'm used to HTC phones where we would just update the firmware in the bootloader screen. I guess there is no just firmware flashables for Samsung devices.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pongoface:
BOYS and GIRLS 25 percent uploaded........... LINK to come soon.............

Had to fix a couple of things, don't want no biaaatcchhinnnn from the peeps..... But I am sure there will be. BTW FM Radio still broke. Sprint is the only Note 4 that has FM radio, I believe. I spent countless hours looking into all kinds of files for a part of the phone that I never ever ever use lol. Soooo.... If someone with more knowledge on the FM radio files wants to dig, please feel free. The winner gets a cookie.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Herk718:
When u say "FM Radio" do you me like a app that doesn't rely on DATA or WIFI?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pongoface:
I actually odin back to stock NIE and then took the official OTA NK2. Then rerooted and flashed TWRP. Then flashed Echoe RC2 and then restored my data only from a twrp backup that I did right before I started the whole process. Then I reinstalled the framework only in xposed installer and rebooted. Back to the way it was.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pongoface:
Yes, this is a port of a European rom. NextRadio does not work. Kinda tired of looking for the code in all the jar files. If I knew the exact location of them all, I simply could copy and paste them in from a stock sprint rom.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Herk718:
Thanks for the clarification [MENTION=782186]pongoface[/MENTION].
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] thearch1tect:
I'm currently stock rooted on NIE, so could I just wipe and flash your new build? Or should go through the process you laid out?

Dude, awsome job. This is one bad ass smoking rom. Where do I start? First the list of fonts ?. The boot animation?. So far everything works. As far as fingerprint scanner, who knows I dont use it. You out did yourself. A+ and ?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bmark34:
Anyone got the new nk2 modem flashable yet?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] .Bambino:
Hey guys. So it's been a long time since I have actually downloaded and flashed a ROM. I am rooted. No ROM has ever been on here. What would you suggest I do next? I think I might know the answer but I just rather know what I am doing before I get into it and possibly mess something up.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KLPFL:
Rooted, custom recovery, back up and flash your favorite rom.. that is all i did... don't know if anyone did differently.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] llawen:
Couple screen shots of this rom.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] .Bambino:
Thanks bro. I am rooted and I do have custom recovery. So I might just download this and flash it. Do I have to install the first version or does it matter?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KLPFL:
Go straight to the latest version...b/c of all the fixes, mod and extra stuffs compare to previous version
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pongoface:
Make sure you have twrp recovery installed. Backup stock rom. I also backup to external sd. Twrp is set to default to backup to internal. Should be option to change b4 backup. I find, if you download flashify, you can download and flash recovery from there. After your back. Hit wipe and wipe. Do not do advanced wipe. Flash rom and enjoy.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pongoface:
I made it so you can't mess up. Only RC2 is live.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pongoface:
Me, the op, is, requesting a video review of this rom. So that I can add it to the op. Being that donations are at an all time low lol. This shouldn't be to much to ask.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kingjamesthe3:
I always do advanced wipe. Any particular reason not to?

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pongoface:
Really not needed if you are a newbie. Sometimes people erase thr internal and external sd cards is all
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pongoface:
Thanks mike c. for the donation :)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] llawen:
I also wipe then advanced wipe 6 times. It only takes a second and seems to not leave residual files. I agree, any reason note to.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bmark34:
So if have ecHoe now, and odin nk2 tar, and reroot and all that stuff; could I flash this rom back since its an NIE base?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pongoface:
Sure can. I am running it like that right now.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] llawen:
I did and runs great. Im on nk2 baseband. Really digging all the font choices.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] floykoe:
Is anyone else having problems installing RC2? I have tried 4 clean installs and I keep getting "System UI has Stopped." This keeps popping up every 5 seconds. Maybe I am doing something wrong. Anyone else having issues? This is frustrating. 4 clean installs takes enormous amounts of time...all day pretty much.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pongoface:
Hmmm. I read through your posts. Something is sticking from the odin. If I was in your situation. First, back up internal sd and external sd to your computer. I would then odin back to NIE from the general post. Boot up, wait or force system update under settings. Take the OTA update, boot up, factory reset, reroot with cf autoroot, flash or odin twrp, wipe internal sd then Flash rc2, that will work.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] llawen:
Abstract tiles is broken. That is small taters with all the other goodies that this rom gives.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pongoface:
You may be able to back up internal sd card to computer. In twrp, go to advanced in wipe and wipe internal sd card, then flash rom. That might help. Try this first before previous post.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pongoface:
Even though you say clean install. The system wipe in twrp only wipes system, cache, and dalvik. It does not erase internal sd. Vital info is stored on internal sd card. Including other features and build prop info that is not overwritten by "clean install" A technically clean install would include wiping internal sd card.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lido:
On RC2, having same issue re: fast charge.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pongoface:
It is the kernel. If you want super fast charging go and flash the stock kernel from the kernel folder post 2. I personally know that it is not good to be fast charging the battery all the time. I'll take performance. I will post stock nk2 kernel tomorrow.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] floykoe:
Thanks pongoface. So far this new install is going great. I think you were right about the internal memory, but I also did the odin back to stock idea as well, just to make sure I got it this time.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mitchellvii:
Just flashed latest version. My Note 4 is running HOT as in "this is actually burning my fingers just to hold it hot". Any ideas

** To be safe just flashed back to stock Sprint kernel just in case that was what was turning my rig into a toaster oven.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] llawen:
When I flash any rom I advance wipe all except internal and external 6 or more times. It wipes faster and faster. Ive never had an issue. It seems to work better by not leaving residual files. JUST GO SLOW SO YOU DO NOT WIPE INTERNAL. I do this even when restoring a backup.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mitchellvii:
Seems flashing back to the stock kernel improved my toaster oven issues. Running nice and cool now. As far as I can tell no performance hit at all going stock (however I did also disable DVFS as below so that may be changing things).

Quick tip. In Wanam Xposed Advanced Settings I have noticed that disabling DVFS always improves performance on these Samsung devices. Noticeably quicker after disabling and reboot.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lido:
Thank you it's good to know there's a reason and solution if needed.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] thearch1tect:
If you move the files you want to keep to the external then nothing wrong with wiping the internal

Word to the wise on wiping internal. Make sure your Nandroids don't live there or you will be in for a nasty surprise.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ryanalan82:
I would much rather just delete the leftover files on internal than wipe it out and have to download 15 gb of game data again and again.

How do you restore data from a twrp backup?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pongoface:
FM radio and wifi calling fix soon to come. Actually wifi calling works but you have to use the headphones lol. Only downside is losing surround sound. Seems that the surround mod I am using is missing code for wifi calling earpiece and speakerphone as well as fm radio. So as of right now, choice is surround sound or fmradio and wifi calling with no surround sound. Hmmm
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mitchellvii:
Definitely bring back WiFi calling for those old fashioned guys like me who still use this damned thing to make phone calls. ?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pongoface:
It works already lol. Just use some headphones. Fix coming

I get 0-1 bars with this phone, so I've been relying on wifi calling recently. Been driving me crazy all day trying to figure out why calls weren't working... just needed to use headphones. Thank goodness there is a temp solution.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pongoface:
Here is the link for the new mixers.xml file. At the hospital picking up the wifey from surgery. Later I will give a flashable zip for fmradio and new mixer. This will fix wifi calling and keep surround sound. Use a file explorer and go to system/etc and paste and replace the old. Reboot. Magic♤♡♧♢

Anyone having issues with ultimate powersaving mode. I activated it today and it just kept rebooting over and over. It did not bootloop. Just kept fully rebooting. Turned it off. Booting stopped. Just wondering if its a issue on my end.

Flashed the WiFi fix and replaced the surround xml. My voice seems to be picking up now from the handset when WiFi calling so thanks much!

Issue I'm having is that now when on a call I'm getting pretty strong echo out of handset when listening to caller. Any ideas how to fix that? I don't want surround sound when making calls.

Thanks.

So I had some issues after installing some mods. So i had to revert back to stock and now I am trying to flash...the ROM installs fine but it's getting put on as T-Mobile ROM. It asks for some card and won't turn the mobile network on.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] llawen:
These settings have very good standby battery but screen on battery is poor. You will watch battery drop one percent every 1.5 minutes on heavy usage. The power is there though.

---------- Post added at 01:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------

Bought faux, I was using set cpu. I also loaded your settings.

We have some folks on the forum that are new to rooting and especially playing with governors. If you see us posting our findings try them at your own risk. I dont know as much as some but more than some. If you do not know what you are doing you can do some damage. Making changes must be monitored for side effects.

Rule #1 never set a new setting "set at boot", that way if there are problems reboot and previous setting will be loaded.

Rule #2 always remember that performance is always a sacrifice at cost of battery. The key is to find the perfect balence to how you use your phone. So while playing around always keep a charger around.

I just thought it needed to be said for some of the newer members that may read these posts.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pongoface:
Made a couple wifi calls this morning. Not getting the echo. Sometimes the echo is related to the wifi network you are on.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pongoface:
There is nothing tmobile related on this rom. From one of the mods must have caused some problems. Back up your internal sd card to external sd or computer, wipe the internal under advanced in twrp and reg wipe then reflash.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pongoface:
Bioshock is like using performance or lionheart governor. Dont use lol. I prefer umbrella core, bluactive, or yankactive.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] danielddube:
Will try it now.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] llawen:
Thats my thing though. I like performance over battery. I just try to get that balence decent battery. Ive always been about performance. I guess cause Im always near a charger. i have not messed with them since bionic and droid razr maxx hd days. We have alot of new ones to play with.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mitchellvii:
IMHO overlooking plays a smaller role in performance now that processors are so fast out of the box.

While you would notice going 90 mph compared to 60 mph, you might not notice going 210 mph compared to 190 mph. Sadly a large part of any perceived improvement in performance may be a placebo effect.

Given the risk of frying your rig plus minimal performance gains vs loss of battery, I'd rather just run stock speeds.

Simply disabling DVFS may do more for overall performance than an overclock. YMMV.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] danielddube:
I did the cache, internal memory , dalvik cache, data and system wipe three times. After the install of the ROM ...for some reason it keeps asking for a Sim card.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mitchellvii:
Still having the weird echo thing when using the handset and WiFi calling. What I notice is that although I am using the handset earpiece to listen, sound is also coming from the speaker on the back. This has the weird effect of making it sound like someone is talking to me in the earpiece but also from across the room. This has to be an artifact of the surround sound thing. Definitely not a desirable result for calling.

Does someone have the original system/etc xml file so I can get rid of the surround sound. I accidentally deleted instead of backing it up. Thanks.
