That's actually what I originally tried before flashing to NJ5 via Odin. I went ahead and redownloaded the ROM in case of some corruption even though the MD5 was ok. Was on NJ5, flashed SuperSU, then rebooted to recovery and flashed the redownloaded copy w/o wiping anything this time. My original copy of the ROM must've been corrupt because it's booting this time. It's currently optimizing apps so I should be good. Thanks for the help y'all. BTW, is there an app I can install that will allow me to reboot to bootloader without having to shut off the phone and do the hardware key method?

eta: one more thing. The whole reason for rooting is to be able to use wifi tethering to share the phone's data without subscribing to the Mobile Hotspot through Verizon. I saw this ROM has Native Wifi Tether baked in, so should be able to wifi tether with no fee, right? Where is the setting for the tethering?

Ya quick boot play store. I think you were trying to do to much at one time that's why you were looping.

It really does require updating your language pack....it will allow you to update English....I usually download Australian English also....like the way it sounds...lol. I don't use ART....can't use Xposed with ART....and I use a lot if Xposed modules.

Flashed the zip with 2.8.3.0 that was already installed on my phone, then flashed a repackaged TWRP img (splash changed by me) with the img flashing option in stock TWRP 2.8.4.0...easy.

You can install Xposed with this ROM? I've only used Xposed when it was baked into a rom. Is it in the play store?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
You can just google it and it will bring you to XDA download page.

Interesting....Custom Kernel...which one do you use? Flashed in twrp? Can we get a link to it?

---------- Post added at 09:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 AM ----------

Are there phone-specific xposed and modules or one size fits all?

I notice there are modules for AOSP, Sense & JB. Which one do we use?

Where is the main Xposed module? Which one?

Looks like we should download the ones WITHOUT aosp, sense or JB. Right?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
There are a couple kernels that work.

StarKissed

and

KToonsez
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
The installer is one size modules are specific ( JB. - KitKat ) Long list just take a look.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chumboy:
Don't know why I can't find the XDA page to download the framework/installer. Don't know what the difference is between framework and installer.

I can only find an XDA page to download the modules?

Is there someone who could provide a link to the framework?

I've been trying a few different ones this afternoon but haven't found one to stick with yet. I know benchmark apps aren't that important but I was averaging around 47500 in Antutu prior to the AELKernel, now I'm averaging around 51500. It's definitely snappier with this kernel versus others that I've tried.

Anyone know how to remove the quick launch buttons in the notification bar? There isn't an app I can find to uninstall/disable and nothing in settings.

Thank you for putting this rom together. I'm already loving it!

I have a suggestion. I know some bloat was removed, but one (or lots more) that was left was dt ignite. After setting up my note with this rom I had a bunch of bloat (some panda game, some cookie game, bunch of other crap). I'm assuming this was installed afterwards by dt ignite which I think may be still in the rom. (I could be wrong on this but I would awesome all these weird games would have been removed, and I know dt ignite installs this stuff so I thought dt ignite may have been left on the phone, or is this something google installs right after you activate the phone from google play?)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Poloasis:
You can uninstall those games that were installed and freeze DT Ignite with TiB.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ebrinkis:
You can delete the ignite app from the rom zip before you install it as well.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] The-Chief:
For some reason, my Note 4 DE (her name is Alicia... yes, I name my phones) does NOT like this ROM.

I wiped Data, System, Dalvik and Cache. I did not wipe internal memory, as I can't for the life of me determine what in internal memory would affect the ROM. And I have a lot of stuff there.

But without fail, it bootloops upon reboot system. I wiped again and flashed 1.5. Same thing. Bootloop. Restoring my backup now (this is why nandroid backups are SO important!!!) until I can figure this out.

Is there some compelling reason why I absolutely HAVE to wipe internal memory to get this to work? THANKS!

Did you use Odin to flash the NJ5 tar file prior to flashing the ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JoshDi:
After I follow these installation instructions, I can load the starkissed kernel via TWRP, correct?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
Yes, but you may want to give the AELKernel from the T-Mobile forum a try, it's been working the best for me out of all the kernels that I've tried.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JoshDi:
Do you have a link to the thread/download of the kernel?

What are the differences between AELKernel and StarKissed? Do they both work for the SM-N910V (Verizon DE Note 4)?

Thank you for your advice!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] The-Chief:
Airmaxx, I did not see that in the flashing instructions. I will go back and read again, very carefully. So in essence to get on this ROM I have to flash clear back to stock, re-root, re-install TWRP and then flash the ROM???
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
http://xdaforums.com/note-4-tmobile/orig-development/30-november-2014-n4-ael-kernel-t2961240

It's really for the T-Mobile Note 4 but it works great on the VZW DE. They are just made by different people with different tweaks, I've had the best luck with the AELKernel, Starkissed never worked that well for me.

It's the second step in the instructions:

1: DO A NANDROID

2. Make sure you are already on NJ5 before flashing. Odin to NJ5 first!!! Here is the link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95857557620392097. Instructions for Odin here: http://xdaforums.com/note...overy-t2942937.

Then Odin TWRP.

3: Download the ROM and copy it to your external SD card.

4: Do a complete wipe by checking Dalvik Cache, Data, Cache, Internal Storage and System from TWRP.

5: Install the ROM via TWRP. If you don't want Knox flash this right after Rom before boot. Remove Knox Zip

6: Reboot and Enjoy

Xposed Installer problem...could not extract xposed-disaster-recovery.zip

Hello,

Running kitkat 4.4.4 on galaxy note 4 developers edition with Definitive ROM. Dalvik, not ART.

I run the xposed installer, then go into xposed and click "install/update" in the framework section.

A window pops up and says:

"SD card: /storage/emulated/0/android/data/de.robv.android.xposed.insaller/files

Copying Xposed-Disabler-Recover.zip

Could not extract Xposed-Disabler-Recover.zip"

Xposed is not active

I have the xposed-disabler-recovery.zip file in the same directory as the xposed installer on ExtSDCard.

I even tried copying the xposed-disaster-recovery.zip into /storage/emulated/0/android/data/de.robv.android.xposed.insaller/files, but ES File Manager won't let me (I have root help turned on in it).

Any ideas?

Re-activation Lock?

I searched through this thread and saw mentions of the reactivation lock checked. Not sure if I missed it but what was the end result? Should we be concerned with it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bjtcars:
No I wouldn't be, mine wont uncheck either but I can get into recovery mode so it doesn't really matter. Back on post #225 Thepooch relayed the fact that if you sign out of your Samsung account then you can uncheck it but I haven't done that yet.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] The-Chief:
Thanks for the clarification, Airmaxx, I have been rooting and flashing ROMs since 2009 and this is the first time I've ever had to go back to stock to install one. So I seriously didn't see it there. I will work on this when I can :)

Okay, I see where my confusion was. I read the OP to understand that you must flash back to NJ5 stock IF you are using Gear VR Oculus... which I am not. But according to your instructions, Airmaxx, I have to do that anyway? And then Odin TWRP. Then wipe the phone and flash the ROM and mods.

Plus I read the the NJ5 tar file is for the Retail version ONLY. The last thing I want to do is turn my (very hard to obtain) DE into a retail VZW phone... hence my avoidance of that file!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
The linked tar file is not the full retail tar, it's specifically for the DE. If you're currently on NI1 the ROM will not flash properly, you need to be on the NJ5 base for it to work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bobbarker2:
The tar labelled stock restore does not contain the bootloader so its safe for DE.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] knewbee4lyfe:
So you guys are saying, if I have the SE version, (bought at verizon) not DE version, then there is no way for me to root my phone. and I am stuck with:

SD card removed

Preparing SD card

SD card removed

Preparing SD card

I mean... its driving me nuts. if this was the case, the least samsung could have done is set stock apps like camera, and messaging saves to the proper folder so it doesn't do that.

to my knowledge, this is a safety procedure. or what every they want to call it. if the memory card is being accessed outside of the alloted accessible folder, it disconnects and reconnects the card.

only thing is, doing so messes up the files in the memory card. Some people in other forums say its the memory card, and i just need to get into contact with SanDisk. But others are saying its a new anti-hack software. in either case, the only thing i really want is to have full access to my memory card. (then secondary needs like full multi window support. and knock of just a couple of bloatware.) but that stupid crazy sd card situation is getting on my last nerve.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] The-Chief:
If you have a RETAIL Note 4, the bootloader is locked and you

cannot

root. Until such a time as a bootstrap program is developed or the bootloader is miraculously unlocked (fat chance), you're stuck on stock. Sorry, I know that's not the answer you were looking for, but that's the one I have for you :crying:

Unroot - Run Tivo - Reroot....possible?

Just got a Tivo Roamio DVR. It has an app to stream TiVo but the app tells me it can't run on a rooted device.

I found a possible solution but I wanted to see if you guys think it would work or would it break this ROM?

"Takes seconds to unroot and to reroot. Go into SuperSU and select uninstall. Once it is uninstalled you do not have to reboot just try the Tivo app it should work. To reroot flash the supersu.zip in recovery and your all good. Here is the link to the supersu.zip."

Don't want to muck up my new GN4 DE or screwup how I have Definitive setup.

Would this method work?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
It works fine for me on 1.6.

There is an Xposed Module called "Good for Enterprise - Disable Root Check" that will take care of your problem. You'll need to install the Xposed Framework and then install the module and activate it.

You'll need the Xposed Installer and then the module.

Hm... I just install 1.5 and im having the same issue. Let me clarify this. It's not swype thats not working. its Swift key for the stock Samsung keyboard isn't working. No matter how I swype it. All it does is type the same word over again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
Go into the keyboard settings, hit "Select Input Language" and download English (US), that should take care of it.

Potential bug

Hi EMSPilot,

I might have found a potential bug on Definitive 1.5 ROM. When I go to the S Note app, and I write some text with the S Pen, select it and press on 'Transform into' on the menu that pops up, S Note crashes and restarts. Happens every single time. Anyone able to reproduce this problem?

First 2 batches of Dev Eds were NJ1's, Third Batch was NJ5's. You can skip the step of installing NJ5 because you already have it on the phone. You can install Definitive from where you are now (start with step 3 on OP).

Cannot get a good clean flash ever

Everytime I clean flash any ROM I recieve a Amazon Kindle has unfortunately stopped at the start wizard, the Samsung keyboard swipe feature and word suggestions at the top do not work at all, and google maps cannot be opened due to a "Google Maps has stopped" error, and when I try to update Maps I receive an update error.
