Did you buy it straight from Samsung, did you pay full price, did it say Developers Device on the box, under the battery and when you boot into download mode does it say "unlocked"? If not then ...no.

Hey Guys, I just got a Note 4 Dev Ed. on N910VOYU1ANI1. What's the difference on N910VVZW1ANJ5 ?

Is N910VVZW1ANJ5 just a Firmware Update? If I'm going to Root and Rom the device should I update first?

Thanks for any info :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] manbat:
ANJ5 is a firmware update. It is required for VR.....If you try to update...READ,READ,READ ...use the correct files. Any "official firmwares" will lock your bootloader. You don't want to turn a $700 phone you got from Samsung into a retail version.

To use Definitive ANJ5 ROM you must be on ANJ5.....or it doesn't work right. Radios don't update ...if I remember right. You can update to ANJ5 with files from this thread... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=56811688

Use "Stock Restore"......DO NOT USE."Full or Partial Firmware ". BACKUP you aBoot first before flashing any firmware.

OK, I've been running v1.6 of this ROM since getting my DE and I'm pretty happy with it. The problem is I just took delivery of a Gear VR and as I understand it, this ROM does not properly support it and OP needs to get his hands on one to fix this ROM so it works. Is that still accurate or have we gotten any progress in that regard?

I just want to know the state of things before I go back to the stock DE ROM from the other thread to get use of my Gear VR. My biggest problem being that I also have a Gear 2Neo and it's also set up just the way I like it but every time I reset my phone with a new ROM, the Gear 2 Neo resets itself to pair with the new configuration and there's currently no way I'm aware of to "image" it's state so I can restore its config without redoing everything.

Any help would be appreciated.

Gear VR

jpmcnown and I have been testing Gear VR for about a month and I finally got a NJ5 Definitive Rom to work with VR. I hope to post it sometime soon. Maybe tonight. We have spent hundreds of hours testing!!!

We are both going to need a Brewery for this fix, not just a Beer!!!!

My hero! If that's the case, I'll hold off and wait for your new update - thanks so much for your hard efforts because if it works, you just saved me a load of time and effort and saved me having to go back to stock!

Bluetooth Headset Issue

I've found that while playing audio on a bluetooth headset and then locking the screen, my Note 4 occasionally plays the audio through the phone speaker upon unlocking the device. Has anyone else experienced this? It has happened with multiple apps , including Pocketcasts, Songza, and Pandora. It doesn't happen enough to be serious, but it happens just enough to be annoying.

I flashed 1.8 and set my status bar options up (clock in the middle, no AM/PM, no date, etc.). I then wanted to remove the quick launch section of the drop down menu so I flashed the "Remove Quick Launch Zip" found in the original post. It flashed and removed the quick launch options, but I now have a stock status bar. I've tried setting the options again, but this does not work.

Any idea how I can get back to a black status bar with the options I mentioned above? (I know I can use xposed, but was wanting to use the built in mods if I can)

Thanks in advance for your help!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JDevil:
Dirty flashed 1.8 over 1.6 with nadia kernel, ukm / synapse, nowakeonplug and 3minit removed running smooth as glass. Not a single issue.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JoshDi:
Agreed - I pretty much did the same thing. I only had to restore my custom system applications from titanium backup and debloat a few more apks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JDevil:
Probably the smoothest flash I've ever done, typically I boot once before flashing kernel but that apparently was a non issue.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JoshDi:
I really love this ROM, but I really dislike the light theming used by Samsung by default. I have used HoloThemer and a bunch of Xposed Framework Mods, but I am still unable to change the color of my Volume Controls in an effective way.

Therefore, I am using apktool to decompile my framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk files. Unfortunately, I am having issues when trying to port PNG and XML files - every time I boot using these new files, I get boot loops.

Can anyone help assist me with porting the themes in this thread: Customize Your Galaxy Note 4 (N910F)

I would really like to use the Android Lollipop statusbar icons, Blue toggle theme, and the Material-Like Blue Holo theme.

EMSpilot, can you also release versions of the SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk files that are converted to PNG? FYI, I am using the version of your SystemUI.apk file that is without the Battery Mod and Quick Settings in the notification window.

BTW, EMSPilot a donation was sent to help prioritize my request ;) your efforts have been much appreciated!

Thank you so much everyone!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pospower:
I followed the instructions and odined the nj5 stock tar then flashed 1.8 got stuck in a boot loop twice. No luck.

Then I flashed 1.6 and then dirty flashed 1.8 and it worked anyone else with this issue? Is this going to mess things up in the long run?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] The-Chief:
WOW! After a brief flirtation with a certain popular AOSP ROM, I have come back to Definitive and regret ever having tried something else. I just flashed 1.7 yesterday and here's 1.8! Making backups so I can dirty flash it... each iteration of Definitive just gets better and better. Thank you Thank you THANK YOU!

EMS Pilot, you absolutely ROCK! Keep up the great work, I have a donation coming to you for your hard work :)

Hi, I'm the Chief and I'm a ROMaholic...

:D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] keithce:
So the flash and initial setup went smoothly. Before trying to restore my apps I tried to get xposed working since you listed it as included. I can't install the framework using any of the methods. It appears as if the system partition isn't writable. I also couldn't make BBS a system app, even after granting root permissions.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
I'm unable to get Private Mode to work on 1.8. It will not turn on, the quick toggle freezes and trying to toggle it on in the settings does nothing other than quickly move to on then back to off. Is it working for anyone else?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
Server is down
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
OK server is back up but for some reason my phone locks up when I try to download 1.8 I can download from other servers just not this one it happened with 1.6 to anyone else have this problem.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] The-Chief:
I actually downloaded it to the PC, checked the MD5, then moved it to the Note 4 DE (and then checked the MD5 again). You might want to try that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
So you have trouble downloading to phone to. Just want to make sure phone ain't jacked.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] The-Chief:
Not necessarily a problem downloading, it's just that I like to keep all my ROMs backed up to the PC... that way they're not eating up space on the phone. Plus during that brief flirtation with the AOSP ROM, the phone would invariably suffer a random reboot right in the middle of the download. This way, I knock it all out quickly and easily. Come to think of it, I've really never had a DL issue with my phone. Do you have sufficient storage on the phone/card for these ROMs?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jpmcnown:
Install and run this app, reboot, and check again

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount&hl=en

After it's "patched" the issue, you can uninstall the app and all will remain fine.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
Man I had a hell of a time downloading 1.8 had to go to computer and it even gave me a hard time but got it what's up? I have downloaded many roms both on computer and phone. I'm on a Network Extender but have been for years.

Not saying it's the ROM I think server.

Hey guys,

New to the Note 4. Just got it 5 days ago and installed Definitive 1.7 on day one. I'm one 1.8 now but one problem still remains, Instagram keeps Crashing right after it starts up. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling a few times, nothing works. Anyone else having this issue.

Any ideas? Thx
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] The-Chief:
Did you restore Instagram from Titanium Backup, or did you do a fresh install from Play? Some apps hate being restored: I have one or two of them myself. In those cases I uninstall the app, re-install from Play, then restore data only from Titanium Backup and reboot. Works like a champ.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] synplex:
I downloaded it fresh from Play store along with the new game limbo neither worked and always crashed upon start up. I wiped and flashed 1.6 rom and everything is working perfectly now. might be something that was introduced in 1.7 that's causing the crashes.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Buddy Revell:
I just came over from FireKat ROM because I wanted to my Note with a Gear VR and noticed the status bar on the home screens is black. Tried some Xposed Modules to get rid of it and have a transparent status bar like I did with FireKat but I'm unable to fix the situation. Any ideas or is the status bar just always black with Definitive?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EMSpilot:
status bar

Status bar color is controlled by gradient mod. Look in app drawer for Definitive Rom app, open and click on Gradient Mod. You can change colors on the fly.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JoshDi:
Anyone else want to see theming for this ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
Sure
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Buddy Revell:
I just tried to change settings on Gradient Mod and it had no effect. Hmmm…is there something wrong with my flash?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Sokudoningyou:
I just want to make sure I'm reading this right: I'm currently on N910VOYU1ANJ5, so I should flash the N910VVRU1ANJ5 stock restore, and then re-flash TWRP (since it's already been flashed, but it will be overwritten by the stock restore file)?

EDIT: Well, I would flash it, if the download would stop giving me problems. The rom I had no problems with, but android host seems to really not want to let me download the stock no matter what I do.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] The-Chief:
EMSPilot, now that Android L is being released for the Note 4, are you as excited about releasing Definitive 2.0 as we are about flashing it? Lollipop is a great update to Android... and Definitive Lollipop is a great upgrade from STOCK!

Looking forward to it! :)

Also are you running any other mods? Wanam etc?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Buddy Revell:
Yeah, I'm running Wanam. I found out later that Gradient Mod does change my status bar to different colors, but won't make it transparent to match the home screen wallpaper like it is on the stock ROM and other ROMs I've tried like FireKat. Is that normal for your ROM?

Gear VR

I had originally when coming from 1.6 to 1.7 flashed the stock TAR per the instructions, but wasn't sure how to proceed when going to 1.8. I dirty flashed anyway from 1.7 to 1.8 without reflashing stock TAR first and everything has been running fine including my Gear VR. Hope that helps anyone who also is in the same situation I was.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Sokudoningyou:
Finally got the rom to download, flashed and got it all running. Only thing I really miss right now is the ability to use custom fonts; no matter what I try, from flashing apks to inserting them directly into the zip to pre-install, to putting .ttf files in the zip....nothing works.

Also had to flash FolderMount to get Xposed to install; same problem as someone earlier in the thread.

EDIT: Is it possible to make a flashable zip that just removes the 3Minit Battery, and not the Quick Launch mod as well? I like the Quick Launch mod, I just want to get rid of the 3Minit Battery mod.

"Voice Commands" seems to be missing from settings/Accessibility/Answering-Ending Calls.

This lets you say "answer" or "reject" when a call comes in.

It was there in 16, but missing in 18.

I did do a dirty flash, could that be why it's missing or was it just left out of the new build?

Edit:

Did a clean flash of 18 and the "Voice Commands" in Accessibility are missing.

Can the OP include them in the next iteration?

[MENTION=4668174]EMSpilot[/MENTION] Will the Visual Voicemail and recent/menu button switch zips from your old Definitive thread work for this too? Is it truly necessary to wipe Internal Data?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ACiDxCHRiST:
It is not *Truly* necessary. It is just to prevent some potential unforseen issues that might arise. But you could always flash it without wiping Internal Storage. If you have issues, then wipe it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EMSpilot:
I believe I left Visual Voice Mail installed on NJ5. But yes you can use the zip. As far as menu button goes. I left that button to invoke recent apps. Do you want it to invoke menu? You do not have to do a full wipe. I always do to avoid issues that can arise from not doing one.
