I can feel your frustration. I can only tell you what's worked for me, and hope it works for you too. You may have already tried this, Stop all downloads in the play store,(seems like you've got that done) and go through each app individually until you find one that when you attempt an update, a notification indicates that a Google Play Services update is required first, then stop the app from "trying" to update, and instead install the Play Services update. I can't tell you specifically what apps prompted me to update play service fist, but there are several. After I updated the Play Services, I selected "update all", and finally they got beyond 94% and updated.

Best of luck regardless.

EDIT: Btw, this also stopped the incessant Googe+ Force Closings
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
I got Play Services updated but apps are still getting stuck for minutes at a time when trying to install them from the Play Store. Now when they get stuck downloading the notification disappears until it starts downloading again. TiBu just to 5 minutes to download and install.

Drained 14% of my battery installing 3 apps.

This is my third attempted install and I've had the same problem each time.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EMSpilot:
Look at your battery and see if index is running hard. I got mine to work no problem. Of course after I updated Google Services. I let the phone settle for 5 hours. Then I updated the rest of the apps.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wy1d:
You don't by chance have one of the first batch of Note 4 DE? You are describing some of the same symptoms I had on mine before I swapped it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
Did you have issues with Maps, Internet and Google+ stopping a lot during the initial setup?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wy1d:
I did when I first flashed rooted deodex NI1. I used TiBu to uninstall Google Play Services then installed from the apk available online and that fixed it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EMSpilot:
Yes I did. It will all go away once you update these items. These apps are from the official firmware from Google. Unfortunately that are all out of date by the time we get the firmware. If you were on a retail version and applied the update this would not happen as you would have already updated the apps. Just be patient and it will be worth the wait in the long run.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
I think I'm just going back to my definitive backup for now, I've tried multiple installs and multiple methods of updating Play Services and once done i can't get apps from the Play Store or int/ext SDcard to install in less than 3-6 minutes each. I've had issues with Play Services other times over the years but have never had it mess up installs from storage at the same time. Thank you for the help, i appreciate it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] solidunit:
Which app are you referring to? The fingerprints app? And when you say restore definitive, do you mean restore my backup of definitive, or restore a fresh version of it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Mibuix0r:
So we want to install this rom, then flash this in odin https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95857557620392024 or is there a different modem we are supposed to flash? Is this the same as the Definitive rom except for nj5?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
I wonder if I'd have better luck installing this if I was already on NJ5 instead of NI1.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Mibuix0r:
Haha, I believe you would
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bobbarker2:
Be very careful when flashing through Odin that you don't write a retail boatloader to your device by accident. Make sure that tar is safe for DE and it contains what's labeled. This one is safe but just saying for future reference.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] radionerd:
Complete wipe including internal sd, Flashed deoxed 1.1 last night, stopped auto updates, downloaded google play and my tools like TiBu, TWRP backup, efspro backup. downloads were painfully slow, and still are a day later. system use was 20%, sluggish response. Unsuccessfully flashed NJ5 modem bootloops.

Back on NI1 modem.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Poloasis:
I just flashed NJ5 v1.2 after a full wipe as indicated, all I'm getting is a boot loop on Samsung Galaxy Note 4 boot screen.

I'm coming from earlier NI1 firmware

Any ideas guys?

I think everyone is having same issue.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ACiDxCHRiST:
Flash the NJ5 Stock Restore first, then flash the NJ5 Rom that you want.

Clean flash the NJ5 Stock Restore from here:

http://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/development/firmware-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2942937

This is what I did:

Wiped Dalvik, System, Data, and Cache

Rebooted into Download Mode and ODIN Flashed NJ5 Stock Restore

It will boot into Stock Recovery at this point and finish the flash

Rebooted into Download Mode again and ODIN Flashed TWRP

Rebooted into TWRP Recovery and Flashed SuperSU

Then finally rebooted to System

If you are going to the Stock Root Odex/Deodex NJ5 ROM or the Definitive NJ5 ROM, you can skip flashing SuperSU and just flash the desired ROM at that point.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Poloasis:
My gut feeling is telling me that im missing something. For someone that been flashing for years, thats a shame lol. I must stop flashing late at night lol.

Thanks allot brother. Good night.

But the link you posted, isn't it for Retail only and NOT recommended to be flash a DE?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ACiDxCHRiST:
As long as you don't flash 1 of those 3 files, you will be fine. Use the Stock Restore.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ACiDxCHRiST:
Also, if you have a DE, you really need to follow the procedure in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/general/guide-vzw-note-4-backup-developer-t2962911

That will provide you with a backup of your unlocked bootloader. If you ever manage to do something stupid or accidentally flash a retail bootloader, you can use that backup to flash your phone with ODIN and restore your phone with an unlocked bootloader. The catch here is that your backed up bootloader will only work for your phone and nobody else can give you their backup to fix your phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Mibuix0r:
Confirmed this method works. Thank you for the detailed instructions :D I also only restored my Data partition from my old ANI1 backup and that seems to be working so far.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bdorr1105:
Quick question, does this also write the new modem, or after we flash this stock recovery do we odin flash the modem after?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ACiDxCHRiST:
If you flash the STOCK RESTORE, you get the new Modem and new Kernal.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bdorr1105:
any mods or ad ons?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ACiDxCHRiST:
Flashing the Stock Restore in ODIN doesn't wipe anything. I am not sure if that asnwers your question because I don't exactly know what you are asking.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bdorr1105:
my question is pretty simple....Are there any mods or ad ons? I dont get how thats confusing
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ACiDxCHRiST:
Nope.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Arcolog2:
Flashed Stock Restore of NJ5, TWRP, then this Rom. Pretty simple. Thanks for all the work bro!

You could probably remove "Soft Card (ISIS)" app since it doesn't work with root. I'm sure someone has a work around though.

Is it safe to remove Verizon Security and Protection?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Arcolog2:
I mearly didnt know what soft card was and clicked on it. It said it wouldnt work with root. Had to use my wife's retail to find out it was the ISIS app. I wouldnt use it just because of its name anyway. Soooo thats why I was saying to just remove it from Rom in the future.

Personally I dont want to use the phone wallets for credit/debit cards. Loyalty cards would be my only use.

You can remove it on your own if you want. I actually like Soft Card and use it quite a bit because of all the free stuff and promos.

I'm on NI1. Any benefit to this? New kernel and new modem; are they offering anyone any benefit? Because to have to wipe everything again sounds like more of the pain than any benefit.

Keyboard?

One thing I've notice is the standard Samsung keyboard is missing the symbols and the predictions are missing like this is just a blank space. I copied the features.xml file back over and was able to get the symbols but the predictions are still missing. I use swiftkey myself but wanted to check and see if I was missing something.

***Non Issue***

I figured it out. Didn't have input language set. Once I set that predictive text is back.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ebrinkis:
Similar situation with work emails. I got around it by using TouchDown HD app. The app requires a pin code to use, and you can configure it in such a way that work email access goes by that pin code, and everything else by the default password / fingerprint. Of all the apps that was all I found that would work. If you find a way I can get rid of the app with some sort of mod, I'd be grateful if you let me know. Thanks.

I am also required to have Touchdown and Airwatch on the phone...but there us a workaround. ..lol. Older version and rootcloak.....but it still overrides the fingerprint scanner...:mad:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] theqwertman:
Gear VR doesn't actually work in 1.2

I recently tried using my DE Note 4 running this ROM with my Gear VR. The setup went fine, but when it came to actually launching any of the apps, the screen rendered in non-stereoscopic, and there was no tracking.

I checked catlog and found

dlopen("/data/app-lib/com.oculus.home-1/libOculusPlugin.so") failed: dlopen failed: could not load library "libGLESv3.so" needed by "libOculusPlugin.so"; caused by library "libGLESv3.so" not found

For some reason it's not finding libGLESv3, which is causing libOculusPlugin to fail entirely.

I went into ES File Manager on both a Retail Note 4 that worked perfectly with the Gear VR, and on my DE one that didn't.

I saw both of them had a symlink `/system/lib/libGLESv3.so`. I wondered if it was pointing to the wrong file on my DE, so I investigated in the terminal.

a `ls -l | grep GLES` in `/system/lib/` on my DE didn't show the symlink while on my Retail it DID! That must have been the problem, no access to the file as a non-root user.

I ran the command again as root on my DE and did see it, with different permissions. What seemed strange to me is that the only difference appears to be the permissions on the symlink, but symlink permissions shouldn't matter.

It was probably naive, but I tried renaming libGLESv3.so to libGLESv3.so.bad and instead copied libGLESv2.so to libGLESv3.so, but that causes the GearVR service to crash with no explanation in logcat. Undoing said change reverted to the old behavior (thank goodness).

libGLESv2 has the same MD5 on both devices, so that's definitely not the problem.

Any advice? I'm pretty stumped. I tried re-installing Oculus Home. I've attached a screenshot of the full error log.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EMSpilot:
Please post a link to your Oculus apk. It should be in /data/app. I would like to take a look at it.

I decided to try switching to stock NJ5 and root with SuperSU, but accidentally botched my SD card with most of my backups in the process. I do have a TWRP Nandroid backup on internal memory, but Titanium is failing to find it for some reason. As soon as I resolve that, I'll recover and send you the apk.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DrPhant0m:
This might be a little unorthodox... but in an effort to get an unlocked and rooted phone on Verizon's network (without buying a Developer Edition for $700+), I have acquired a Note 4 from US Cellular. (Unlocked for use on any CDMA carrier, uses the same 1x/2G/3G/LTE bands, except band 13 which isn't a problem for me) USC does not lock down the devices like Verizon does, therefore I was able to use CF AutoRoot and Flashify to root the device and install TWRP, respectively.

However, it does not recognize the SIM from my Note 3. Verizon has supposedly filed paperwork to move the MEID from USC to Verizon, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the USC software on the phone does not inherently recognize VZW SIM cards. (The phone came with a USC SIM of the same size, and it's recognized without issue) Verizon claims that once the MEID transfer is complete, the Note 4 will magically register my Verizon SIM. I hope they're right, but that just doesn't sound plausible to me. It sounds like 2 separate issues.

Now for my question... Given that this USC phone of mine is bootloader unlocked, and I have TWRP installed... can I flash this ROM to my phone? Will it succeed? Will I get new drivers or whatever and my SIM will be recognized?

Related: This is a recovery-flashable zip... Is there an ODIN-flashable md5.tar file for the stock DE software? Would that be what I'd need?

Thank you all so much for the help. It would be truly appreciated.

1. The vibration does not work.

2. The camera is inverted.

3. Cannot take any photos with the back camera.

4. Focus does not work on the back camera.

5. Miscellaneous bug sometimes drains the battery..but not always.

These are the problems i have come across so far, if anyone has information on how to fix some of these (at least until one of our great developers successfully ports a working version of lollipop for our T) it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know when Gear VR is going to launch in india?

Also can anyone tell me if i purchase a Gear VR from US will it work with my indian Note 4?..

I am Desperate to have this device.

Regards,

Kris.
[Samsung Gear VR] Dub Tech:
Hi Kris,

There is no launch date for any region outside the US though Aus and UK are rumoured to be Jan 2015.

To use GearVR you need a firmware update from Samsung. To check if you have it, download the Oculus mobile SDK and install one of the APKs. When you run one for the first time it will try to install the GearVR app. If that succeed you're good to go order from the US! If it tells you that you need an update then you're at the mercy of Samsung and/or your carrier depending on what version of the note4 you have and if it's network locked.
