Okay, now it's there. But is there anything else I should have installed (I do go into the zip before I install a rom to clean out programs I don't need; maybe I accidentally deleted it)? If I click on CPU, it crashes DR Settings.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EMSpilot:
That's because you probably deleted potato.clock.apk, potatoa.cpuspied.apk and potao.gradient.apk in system/app!!!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Sokudoningyou:
Actually didn't touch those at all, but Potato Clock and Potato Gradient work, while this doesn't. I'll re-download 1.8 again anyway to make sure.

EDIT: The 1.01 GB size file has no potatoa.cpuspied.apk, or potato.gradient.apk. But Gradient works. And I only have Potato.apk in my phone as well.

Another Problem Gear VR

Sure lmao, on another note I am having issues installing the preliminary grea vr applications. I flashed the original rom, installed twrp and flashed definitive v1.9, when i try to install the oculus app i get to the point of installing the 5 main apps. the setup stops at installing oculus 360 photos and remains there. by that i mean it finished installing that app and then says install apps. It never lets me install the other three, any ideas on how to fix this?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EMSpilot:
PM this guy. jpmcnown I do not use Gear VR. He has it working perfect on V1.9.

This will change your boot screen and shutdown. Enjoy!! Flash via TWRP

So I've gone back to 1.6, I could never get svoice to work while the screen is off (always listening) on 1.8 or 1.9, it worked fine on 1.6. I did use the rebloat voice command zip and that made it stop crashing when trying to set up the wake up command, but it wouldn't ever wake up. Also the installed version of rootcloak doesn't work with isis/softcard so I would have to disable it and install a different version.

Anyone else having issues searching settings on s finder. im on difinitive v1.9 and everytime i search something on s-finder and it needs to open settings, the settings app crashes. Also could anyone tell me how to get softcard working, thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] synplex:
Same here, I had to flash back to 1.6 after trying 1.7 - 1.9 because various apps crashing upon start up. I read on the OP that a few changes have started on 1.7 (Complete rebuild and clean up with Archi Kitchen - init.d support) , wonder if that caused the issues. :confused:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] munkle:
Right above you I said how, the rootcloak that comes baked in doesn't work, it doesn't hook into xposed. Disable it and install rootcloak from here: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.devadvance.rootcloak
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
Is there a zip to dirty flash the changes with completely flashing the ROM? I have so many things changed that I'd like to avoid doing them all again if possible.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
Why not just dirty flash.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bobbarker2:
Because it's a lot of work to reconfigure everything the way you want it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
Because I remove well over 100 system files, edit the build.prop file, remove and add certain sounds and lots of other things. It just takes quite a while to change everything again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
I guess I don't have a lot of stuff it's pretty easy for me lol.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] The_FNG:
Ok. I've had my fun with the Android peeing on Apple. How do I remove it now, or just go with something else?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Sokudoningyou:
Find other versions of the qmg files to replace. I'm making my own right now (since I found out how incredibly easy it is; it's just figuring out the FPS that can be a pain). I've got the 12th Doctor's opening titles when I boot, and I'm trying to get the 8th Doctor's regeneration just right for shutdown.

I can't change my wallpaper in srttings am I missing something?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chumboy:
That's a good question. And no, you're not missing anything. Not there on mine either.

Maybe it was left out as bloatware (like voice commands).

Luckily my wallpaper stuck from 1.8.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shpotik:
U still can change it by long press on screen but only on touchwiz launcher..other launchers only change the home screen and won't change the lock screen.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shpotik:
And one other question is there a way to change the icons in the settings they look like they're from gingerbread not KitKat... What happened to the stock ones?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jpmcnown:
I'm using Nova Launcher on Definitive 1.9, and I'm able to change the wallpaper and lockscreen image independently and simultaneously. From the home screen, I long press the recents icon, select wallpaper, choose an image, and simply select Home and Lock Screen, the set wallpaper.

I can also set either, or both lock screen and wallpaper images from the gallery.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jpmcnown:
Working closely with EMSPilot(thanks), and a ton of trial an error, I ended up with a very smooth 1.9 Oculus VR install. I was putting together a detailed guide outlining the exact process I've done to end up where I'm at, with Definitive 1.9 working with Oculus VR. That's a crapload of steps. I'm lazy, and opt'd instead to just post a TWRP backup of a base image with lots of stuff installed and configured, but not a crapload of bloat. Pretty much every concern addressed in this forum is fixed in this backup. The only thing I haven't got in it, is the recently mentioned inability to change the wallpaper from within the settings menu(It CAN be changed from the gallery, and from the homescreen). Anyway, It's a good place for anyone to start.

It's not the most orthodox way of getting a rom installed, but PM me, an I'll get you a link.

S health quit working for me when I installed Xposed. Uninstalling it did not help. Do you have something I can install to get it back? I tried reinstalling it from a apk i found but it did not work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jpmcnown:
I don't use it, but I went to open mine, and it just froze attempting to open it. I simply opened the App Info, cleared Cache, and data, and restarted the app. All appears fine for me. Hope that helps.

I need help! For some reason my USB port stopped working completely. When plugging in to the OS, nothing shows up. To make matters worse, when the phone is completely shut off and plugged in, I get a gray battery logo, then it goes off. The phone vibrates, and the gray battery logo comes back. I rarely charge this phone, so I'm not sure when this first happened. It is still fully functional, everything works fine except for the port. It hasn't seen water, no damaged, I'm at a loss. Any ideas guys?

edit: Resolved, see the next page.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Romans8vs1:
This may sound silly, but have you tried a factory reset? I've had that solve weird issues for me in the past. If all else fails, I recommend getting one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Battery-Charger-Replacement/dp/B00NQG2XNC. It comes with a spare battery and allows to you keep one charged at all times.

I wish you all the best in getting everything fixed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Polishzx:
I'm a complete idiot. I had samsung support on live chat and giving them hell about my only option being to send it in for hardware diagnostics, and I happened to figure it out. This was reported on some other samsung devices. When the gray/grey battery icon come up, I had to hold Volume Up, Home and Power, and it instantly switched back to the power charging icon. Somehow you can disable the USB port in download mode. Wow I feel like a tool. Hope this can help someone else.... Also, it might be volume down with that combination, I am not 100 percent sure.

Hey guys, I could use some more help. Something is wrong with my USB connection. I can no longer connect the phone to a computer in MTP mode, it only will charge. When trying to mount anything from TWRP, nothing mounts there either. Odin will also not recognize anything. Seems like an issue with the phone, I've tried multiple computers and cables. I am positive the original cable works though, it is what I originally used to flash the Definitive rom.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Polishzx:
I got into the USB service menu #8080# and nothing is selected, MTP or MTP+ADB. If I select either of those and reboot, and go back in to this menu, it still shows nothing is selected and usb still doesn't work. Any ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Sokudoningyou:
Try re-installing the drivers? I dunno; I know my Note 2 hated me trying to connect to my computer via USB. I've pretty much either used SolidExplorer's FTP to connect wirelessly or just taken my sd card out entirely to put that into my laptop. USB connections were always finicky.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] LagunaTechie:
I just tried installing V1.9 and I am stuck in boot. I wiped everything and Im stuck on the screen with "kernel is not seandroid enforcing". That is weird because I have booted up on many other roms with that message so I don't what's up. I'm going to try wiping again and re-installing...

Update: Dumb mistake as I was on the previous firmware. Flashing stock restore for the NJ5 firmware fixed the problem.

S-Finder

Hey EMSpilot or anyone who might be able to help me. Could someone tell me if there is a way I can make S-Finder work again? Whenever I search and click on a setting (such as battery or storage) the app crashes and says "Unfortunately Settings has stopped" I am currently on definitive rom version 1.9. other than this issue i havent really had any issues. On another note, those of you having trouble installing Gear VR on a clean definitive v1.9 flash, i have a solution! Install the app "folder mount" from the google play store, run the app and allow the app to fix the folder issue, restart and youll have no problem installing Gear VR. I also hit fix permissions in TWRP, but that might be irrelevant. A huge shoutout to jpmcnown for all of his hard work to make the Gear VR a possibility on this awesome ROM!

I have Potato Clock set for display on the center of the notification bar, but it keeps blocking the text when other notifications come in (i.e. the date/time stay on screen and overlay over the incoming notification message making it unreadable). Is there a fix for this? Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tynman11:
Skimmed a few pages back so hopefully this isn't a repeat. I'm on 1.6. Can I dirty flash 1.9 or is it better to wipe/flash clean?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] The-Chief:
As long as you're on the NJ5 baseband, you should be able to dirty flash to 1.9. Make all backups in case that fails, though. If you're on the NI1 baseband, you have to Odin to NJ5 and clean flash it. Usually if I fall behind by a couple of versions, a full wipe is better. Good luck!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jpmcnown:
DR 1.7 and above are built in a different manner than 1.6 and below. I agree with The Chief that a clean install is probably the way to go. If you're looking to save a bit of time, you're welcome to a TWRP backup I made on April 03 - 2015, of 1.9 w/everything working/updated/tweaked. I'd wipe everything before restoring that too though. (Dalvik/Cache/Data/System)

EDIT: That backup is a zip, but not "install'able in the way a zip is normally in TWRP. The TWRP backup is zipped up for the sake of putting up a single compressed file for download. Just download it with a PC, unzip and place it's contents into your TWRP backup folder.

[MENTION=4668174]EMSpilot[/MENTION] I was wondering if the Visual Voicemail app required any additional packages other than the apk. I have not been able to get it working after doing a fresh move to 1.9. I downloaded the bloatware.zip and extracted the apk. Clicked on it and installed it, doesn't work. I also tried using a file manager to directly move the APK to the /system/app folder but it doesn't appear in my launcher if I do that. I've called Verizon and after a number of useless steps they are telling my I have to do a factory restore...which I think is absurd.

Any advice or instructions?

Thanks!

Voice Commands

Guys,

If you want to re-bloat voice commands please flash this via TWRP. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934537416

If you want Visual Voice Mail please flash this via TWRP in addition to the above zip. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934537416
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Kevro_86:
Hi everyone,

I just got my Gear VR on Thursday. I recently Odin'd to ANJ1, odin'd TWRP, and installed Definitive 1.9. Everything with the Gear VR setup seemed to be going well until i was in the Oculus App. When i click on "Install Apps", it only downloads 360 Photos (about 7.5 MB file) then stops.

Subsequent clicks on "Install Apps" just keeps downloading 360 Photos. It does not prompt me to insert the Micro SD card that came with the Gear VR.

If I dock my phone on the VR headset, it goes through the setup motions then says the setup isn't complete, to take your phone out & go back to the Oculus app to finish the install. Unfortunately, its the same old 360 photos "problem."

Did something go wrong with my Def 1.9 install you think?,

Is this a problem anyone has experienced while setting up their vr?

I have not gotten a single "error" message... It's just that's it's doing an incomplete install.

Any advice?

Thanks!

Kev
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] The-Chief:
Hi Kev,

First, you stated that you Odin'd to NJ1 baseband... which does not exist. Please verify that it's NJ5 you're on, as that is the baseband required for 1.9 to work. After that, here's what I did:

Before I did ANYTHING, I backed up the Samsung microSD to a folder on my PC called "OculusPreSetup". The WHOLE card, as received. Once done, I removed my SD card from the Note 4, inserted the Samsung card, and put on the VR. It automatically started the setup, extraction and install process.

After setup was complete, I removed the Samsung card from the Note 4 and backed up the card AGAIN to another folder on the PC called "OculusPostSetup". Again, the WHOLE card, right after setup was complete. Then I put that card back in the VR case pocket forever. You can NEVER have too many backups!

Then on the PC I connected my 128GB SDcard and merged the data from the "OculusPostSetup" folder to the

root

of my 128GB microSD card. (Some folders, like Android and LOST.DIR, need to be merged).

Once all data was copied and merged to my regular card, I reinserted my card back into the Note 4 and put on the VR. It set up and was ready to do all the account setup and everything. Went without a hitch. If you DO have hiccups, you can always copy the contents of the "OculusPostSetup" folder back to

your

microSD card and try setting it up again. NEVER WRITE ANYTHING TO THE SAMSUNG CARD! You want that card as pristine as possible.

Try that process. If you still have issues, please tell us exactly what you did, how you did it, and I'll do my best to help. You can also visit the Gear VR Forum, where a lot of experience awaits to help you.

:)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Kevro_86:
Thanks Chief!

Yes, I am on NJ5 baseband.

After unpacking the unit, I inserted the Note4, then it said to remove it, which i did. Then it was on the Gear vr setup screen, where you sign up for an oculus account, etc. I did that, got the confirmation email, and it said to start downloading apps. That seems to be where the hiccup started. Because the oculus app will not install the 70+MB worth of files. Rather it just downloads nd places in my phone's internal memory Downloads folder, a folder called "oculus_downloaded_apks" and in that folder is a file called "com.oculus.oculus360photos.apk".

That's it. Nothing appears to actually "install", just downloads to that location.

I'm beginning to think this problem has something to do with the timing of when I inserted the Samsung SD card.

If the SD card is supposed to be in the phone before ever attaching the phone to the vr unit, then that's what I've done wrong.

Thanks again for the help!

Kev
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] The-Chief:
Yes. Insert the SD card BEFORE putting the phone in the VR :)

I restored your backup to my phone and now my fingerprint scanner doesn't function. I restored my original backup and even tried clearing cache on the fingerprint scanner and deleting data on it. I also did a factory reset among other things and it seems nothing can fix it. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Polishzx:
Agreed, I would like for it not to block text. I have shut it off, and miss having a clock.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jpmcnown:
1> Could you be a bit more specific? Do you get an error of some sort when trying to setup the fingerprint reader? Or does it simply fail to recognize your store scans?

2> When you "did a factory reset", was it simply that? Understand that an Android Factory Reset only resets the User Data partition(and cache), leaving the System partition untouched. So if there is a problem present in the rom(mine just checked out ok) then the problem may remain.

I would recommend wiping Cache/Data/Dalvik/System, THEN restoring that twrp backup(not the EFS partition), and check again. If that fails, you may ultimately end up ODIN back to stock, and if you do, be careful not to download the retail version of the .tar.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Kevro_86:
Still no luck getting the Oculus app to properly download & install VR Apps! I even tried uninstalling all the Gear vr & oculus apps from the phone & going through the setup wizard again. I'm at a loss.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KilgoreBA:
That's the error I get everytime. I have rebooted multiple times.

I have tried everything you mentioned. I tried multiple factory resets.

I wiped Cache/Data/Dalvik/System, multiple times. I tried both starting off fresh and also tried restoring a few different twrp backups after wiping everything.

I have also ODIN'd back to stock using the proper file for my developer edition device.

None of the above works. Do y out of have any other suggestions? This is very frustrating. I appreciate any help. ☺
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] masterzoltar:
Im having am odd problem. When someone leaves a voice message I have no notification sound or icon on the status bar. It is all enabled in the phone settings or is this a problem on the Verizon side. I had to test up my voicemail after coming over from the note 3. For some reason I lost the working one on Verizon end.

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
Try the one from the play store there is no reason why it shouldn't work. Maybe delete what you have now first.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jpmcnown:
.....Checking something, hold up....

I've been restoring backups and ODIN back to stock several times this evening. I think the safe money will be to use that Stock Restore ODIN, but then going back into the Stock Recovery and doing a factory reset from there. Reboot, test the fingerprint reader, and if it's still not working, It's most likely a hardware defect.

Sorry if I couldn't be of more help
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KilgoreBA:
I appreciate your trying to help. Still no luck. I tried checking the Nand box and tried reflashing four separate times and I still get the error. I really don't think it is a hardware failure though. Any other ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jpmcnown:
Ok, I just want to make sure we're both attempting the same stuff.

Go ahead and download this TWRP backup I just made today, with everything working/updated/tweaked. I also added this camera mod. Go ahead and unzip the contents of that to a pc, and then transfer the that folder into your TWRP backup folder on your extSdCard. (If you've got a file explorer on your note that can unzip it, like FX File Explorer, that shouldn't be a problem)

Then, we use ODIN 3.09 to flash the Stock Restore .tar package prepared HERE -This is a recent change to the stock restore process for out Dev Ed's. Should be ok to leave the default options checked (only Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked).

Then, after the phone boots, just skip through the initial setup wizard, go ahead check the fingerprint scanner functionality. Hoping that works, power off, and boot back into Download mode, this time flash via ODIN TWRP 2.8.5.0

Then boot into recovery, and Wipe>Advanced Wipe>Check Dalvik Cache/System/Data/Cache.

Back out to the main menu, Restore>March 7 - 2015 - Definitive 1.9 - Oculus - Base, select all partitions

Reboot. Cross Fingers
