Here's a weird thing: has anyone started getting random reboots on 1.9? I had absolutely no problems until a few days ago when it suddenly bootlooped on its own in my pocket twice, after I had not touched it for a good hour. Hadn't updated any apps in a few days prior to it, nor had I changed anything to my recollection. Tried the Xposed Samsung KitKat fix; no go, it still loops randomly. My old Note 2 had done it as well on the last version of Beans rom, but until this last week, my Note 4 hadn't had a problem.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] The-Chief:
That's odd. Bean was horrible for me with regard to random reboots... I have never, NEVER had a random reboot with Definitive.

I would suggest a dirty flash of 1.9. Wipe Cache, Dalvik and System, DO NOT wipe Data, and flash 1.9 again. You may have to set up a few system settings again, but it may solve the problem :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ebrinkis:
My wife and I had the same problem (2 Dev Ed Note 4's!) and tried everything. Finally I called Verizon through *611. Their Technical assistance Rep said that there was a Verizon network update pushed by Verizon that did something to the voicemail on some Galaxy phones, but that they could reset it individually on their end. A reboot later everything was working again on both phones. I asked if there was any way to fix it from the phone end, and was told no, it is a network option that needs to be set at their end. Good Luck!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] masterzoltar:
Called Verizon. Fixed it. Update set it to visual voicemail. They had to change it to basic voicemail NOT basic visual voicemail which they kept trying to push on me.

Where is Apps Ops?

I just noticed I can't find "Apps Ops" in 1.9. Its not under my Settings anymore. I had it in 1.6, and while Ive been running 1.9 since feb 17th, i just noticed i cant find the option anymore.

I think I did apply the secsettingsv1.9.zip (post #385)... did that make the App Ops disappear?

thx

Is there a way to restore the bluetooth scan?

Guys, Can we install non verizon ROM on verizon Note 4?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Sokudoningyou:
Not bothered enough to go through that, thankfully. (That, and I'm lazy.) Though I think it might be because of WidgetLocker and Xposed not liking each other for some reason, because the reboots only happen when the screen is off, and/or I've just turned my screen off, and a few seconds later, there it goes. I only say WL and Xposed because, weirdly, even though I used XuiMod without issue on Beans (granted, the latest I had been using was 26; I never made the leap to the newer versions after Beans stopped), I had to turn one setting off for WL, because every time I tried opening it, it would send WL to the background of my phone. Literally, it became the background. Turning off the one setting fixed it, but the reboots seemed to start not too long afterward. Sooo....yeah.

S Note Not Working

Okay, I use S Note. A lot. But not lately!

Why not? It doesn't work. Every time I open the app it force closes immediately. Titanium Backup says it's installed, so I got the updated apk for it and tried to install/update over it. Update FAILS every time. Is this something that anyone else here is experiencing? Does it have anything to do with Definitive? And can I safely uninstall S Note and reinstall it without screwing up the phone (as warned)?

Thanks!

"OK Google" voice search issue

Hey guys,

Anyone having a problem with getting "ok google" voice detection to work from any screen? I have mine set up to do this, and when I try it from one of my Nova Launcher home screens, it beeps like its ready to start voice detection, but then immediately beeps again and nothing happens.

Then, when I go back into settings, the stuff that I had set is back to default... So I try again and the same thing keeps happening. Anyone know what I need to do to fix this? At this point I don't know if it's a general Note 4 issue, a Definitive issue, Verizon, Nova or what.

Voice detection still works if I hit the voice search button, or say "OK google" from the Google Search screen.

Thanks!

Kev
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EMSpilot:
Read the whole OP. It was debloated. there is a link in OP to put it back.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Sokudoningyou:
Try wiping the data, rebooting into recovery, wiping dalvik, and then see if you can open it once you reboot? That's what I usually try first before reinstalling things.

And you can uninstall it. I think the only problem I had (and it was on my Note 2) was that the home button didn't want to work without it.

Any chance you're going to bless us with a Lollipop version?

Can't stand material design, but some of the features seem desirable.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EMSpilot:
lollipop

I do plan on a lollipop version. The issue is going to be getting a unlocked bootloader that will work with lollipop for the Verizon Note 4.

I am hoping we don't have to send our Verizon Dev phones to Samsung to update the bootloader, if Samsung is even willing to do so.

I am curious if anyone has tried to Odin a Sprint or T-Mobile Note 4 bootloader?

Pandora issues

Anyone having an issue with Pandora just locking up and then closing on itself? It will play a couple songs and then won't update the song playing and close itself without any fc message. I've tried uninstalling, rebooting, clearing data. Nothing fixed it. Tha'ts the only music app that gives me an issue. Thanks in advance
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] stueycaster:
Yeah but I was having that on my last phone too.

Update: I've tried a couple things that were suggested to fix it. Nothing worked. Pandora owes us a new app. This one is broken.

Update 2: Here's a link to the Aug 2014 version (5.3). I uninstalled the latest one, installed this then shut off auto updates in Play Store. I just barely did it. I'll let you know if it's OK.

Update 3: We're not supposed to discuss this here. I started a thread in the Themes and Apps section.

Update 4: My other thread has been moved to the Q&A section.

Boot Loop Hell

Hi guys.

Been running 1.6 on my Note 4 and my wife's Note 4 for about 3 months. Two weeks ago. my wife's phone took a quick swim in the toilet. I pulled the battery, used a blow drier for a few minutes, and left it in front of a fan for 24 hours. After that, it worked fine for two weeks until it got stuck in a boot loop out of nowhere (Samsung logo comes up, screen goes blank, repeats without stopping). I wiped (cache, Davlik, and eventually system) but no luck. I flashed to stock (as per the 1st post) but still had the boot loop. I tried to restore a backup from right after the phone was originally flashed, no dice there either. In case it matters, she restarted the phone because her clock alarm when off and the screen just went blank, so there was an issue even before the reboot.

Any ideas? I was thinking of extracting the Pit file from my phone and restoring to hers. Some people with different devices fixed a similar issue, but I'm skeptical since the phone hadn't been flashed in 3 months. Of course, this could all be a hardware issue that waited two weeks to manifest itself. I have a couple days before my Amex 90-day purchase protection windows closes, at which point I'll have to make the call if I can't get this thing working.

As for this ROM, it works great, but unfortunately does not waterproof the phone :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] The-Chief:
I hate it when my phone takes a swim!

Not confident that a blowdryer or fan will remove all the water from the INSIDE of the device. You need to immediately pull the battery, memory card, SIM card, and stylus. Put everything into a ziplock bag half full of UNCOOKED rice, close the bag, and let it sit in a warm (not hot) place for 48 hours. The rice will help to absorb moisture and extract it from the inside of the device.

After 48 hours, reassemble everything and power it up. It'll either work or it won't. If it powers up but is a little wonky, put it back in the rice, unassembled, for another 24 hours.

Good luck!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chewybarz:
Thanks for the response. They should make a case that's a flotation device, then the phone at least won't stay submerged. I hope he at least enjoyed his time in the toilet :)

I immediately did everything you said-- pretty much gutted the phone down to the stylus. Then I put it in rice until I read this link:

Google "how we drowned nine phones" and go to the first result (I can't post links yet because I read a lot more than I write).

That's when I went with the blow drier and a fan for a day. It seemed perfect for two weeks until the boot loop issue. I only mentioned the water because it makes a hardware issue more likely, although I'm still not convinced since the phone works perfectly with Odin and TWRP, and it was fine for two weeks before that. It just will not boot now. Looks like the wife will be using my trusty HTC DNA for a week or two...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] HutchOven:
How about this.. For some reason I get bad lag when watching a video or similar when in landscape only. Then I restart my phone and it's gone for a while until it comes back. Or sometimes it will play ok but if I adjust the volume the bad lag starts. Any ideas? I'm on 1.9 and have tried reflashing a couple times.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chewybarz:
Not that I'm aware of, unless something changed recently. That's what the Dev edition is for!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chewybarz:
Just want to close this out in case someone comes searching later. I tried everything, including extracting the PIT file from my working Note 4 and flashing, with the stock ROM, to the phone in the boot loop. No dice. I give up.

Great ROM though!

---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

No problem. Some people don't realize Verizon is different than AT&T/T-Mobile. Keep in mind that there is not Lollipop yet for the Dev edition. EMSploit made a post someone recently (in this thread??) that made me wonder if we'll ever be able to get it on the Dev edition, so there is that to consider. I may actually give my wife my Dev edition and replace her broken one with a Nexus for myself to avoid all this BS.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
I have both phones the DE note and the Nexus 6. If we don't get lollipop then we don't. I'm not a Dev but I don't think it would be hard if there were someone that wants to do it. Problem is not enough development on the note. I gotta say the note has the best signal even puts the Nexus 6 down. If you want a phone that always works no matter what the Note is the phone. On the other hand if you like to play in ROM world with a good phone the Nexus has it all over the Note. There are a ton of Roms to choose from. Definitive is top notch a you need solid Lollipop won't make it much better except maybe Volte but its so new who knows.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] stueycaster:
People need to give this a little time. Root and Lollipop just came out yesterday. Good things will come for us N4DE owners. But it's not going to be today.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chewybarz:
I'm in no rush (I'm still on 1.6 because it works just fine). I can't find the post, but it seemed to indicate it may not happen at all. I was just throwing that out there so someone deciding between a Note and Nexus could take that into account.

---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

Thanks for the feedback. I was leaning toward getting another Note 4 to replace the damaged one, especially since I have a case and the modded the back to use with the Samsung wireless charging element, but I feel better hearing from someone who has both and is familiar with custom ROMs.

I couldn't find it because I was searching for "EMSploit" (I thought it was reference to Metasploit) instead of "EMSPilot." Fortunately, I read more carefully when following instructions.

Try first going into /cache/fota - and removing any files that might be in there. Then, go to /system/app/sdm.apk and rename it. I usually create a folder in /systems/app called off so now you have a path like /system/app/off - move the SDM.apk in there, reboot. your Software updates option should be removed from system - and the OTAs should stop... I think there is another app either in /system/app or /system/priv-app called fota.apk (or similar), do the same...

In creating an off folder, and moving the apk out of the way, it 1.. stops the process, leaves you the option to move it back... set permissions, and the app usually runs fine. This is a poor-man's freeze option, with options...

the three folders I usually put an "off" folder in, are:

1. /data/app/off

2. /system/app/off

3. /system/priv-app/off

Therefore, you always know where they belong in case you need them...

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] stueycaster:
Are we talking about the bootloader or the firmware? In the OP it says you need to be on NJ5 first. Then the download link leads to the Firmware. You're not really messing with your Bootloader are you? You could turn your Dev Ed into a retail phone. I'm on the stock Lollipop firmware but my bootloader is still NI1. I've attached screenshots.

Update: That's what happens when someone takes the OTA updates. It updates the Bootloader too and then a Dev Ed becomes retail.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
Im still on KK nog sure I want to take the plunge is there any worc about our master upgrading this rom? I havent herd real good things about lollipop. Anyone got anything good yo say about it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] anticloud:
Yes - I do.

While KK is excellent IMO. Lollipop has an advantage for me (not sure if it applies to everyone) - I can place all my apps in /system/app instead of /data/app, which means during a factory reset, all my apps stay - I do not have to download them again. Now, for the record I could not do that in KK (at least for a few apps - they would not work, but most did). So, the point being - even though we have TWRP and I can backup / restore using that, there is a small comfort in knowing that all of my apps are in a place that if I want to do a refresh I don't have to depend on the play store at all... Having said that, again, this does not appeal to everyone, yet it shows a difference in operating system I think..

I like the messaging system on Lollipop - not sure if it is Verizon specific, but pretty sure it's android / Samsung, and it seems to be more "notification" friendly.

The basic set of apps are cool (i.e. MMS, Email, Phone, Video) - they seem more robust, a bit more feature rich.

I can de-bloat pretty easy, same way as KK but this OS seems more forgiving.

Faster boot -

Hardware GPS, faster acquisition (4 to 6 seconds), and more accurate - down to 10ft accuracy most of the time (using GPS test plus to measure..) note, under KK, 13ft to 16ft avg.

========================

Down side -

At time, you may experience the phone getting warmer - but, know that in the de-bloat process and or when I'm shifting around apps and doing backups / restores closely timed together - the phone can get really hot. BUT, normally, the phone is fine...

I have to say that despite optimizations - the battery seems to drain faster, yet still better than a note 3 for sure (light years better)... still close to KK on note 4, but I swear I'm charging it more... thank god for the fast charge circuit...

========================================

There are enough ROMS in this forum in which you can depend on w / tweaks (stable)... that you won't end up with a ganked phone... I use hsbadr's roms.

With all the things I've done to my rom, it does not error, my backups from TWRP to internal sdcard are 77 seconds (full backup)

Bluetooth cannot communicate with car.

The Note 2 that was replaced by the Note 4 had no problems connecting to car bluetooth (2007 Audi S4), regardless of what ROM was installed.

The Note 4 is a major improvement over the Note 2 hardware, and the Definitive 4.4.4 is also a major improvement over any ROM I had on the Note 2.

The only issue I have is that the Bluetooth will not connect to my car. My car only supports the hands-free calling/address book functions, but it has been doing that very well.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jcip17:
The phone feels a lot faster performance wise. For example, the messaging and phone app launch faster. The swipe feature to scroll through the tabs in the phone app is less laggy than KK. I'm also on MOROM 5.0.1 and it flies. Give it two days to let it settle in after you calibrate your battery on it's first full charge. I guess I could agree that the battery doesn't last as long but it's a new version so with better performance we could expect less battery life.
