[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l0v3:
same here :/

I can't believe, that OTA could brick my phone
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papandreoos:
same here! :(

please help.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l0v3:
Solved!

I was looking-forward for way to get back to 4.4. or to update to 5. I found this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/moto-g/general/guide-convert-brazilian-firmware-gpe-5-t2969472, it gave me an 4.4.4 GPE then i was able to do OTA api again, without problems.

Sent from my Moto G 5.0.1 Stock :)))

GL guys
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papandreoos:
what did you run:

BRAZILIAN 5 TO 4.4.4 GPE.BAT or ANY FIRMWARE TO 4.4.4 GPE.BAT

i'm on moto g GPE.

it's not a BRAZILIAN version.

also, after you downgrade your phone to 4.4.4, you immediately got an OTA update to 5.0.1 loolipop again?

thanks!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Animanny:
You might not realize but you are on Brazilian.

You can run the downgrade and Lollipop will NOT update.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papandreoos:
i'm glad to say that i followed the guide that user "l0v3" linked here, and now i have lollipop 5.0.1 GPE on moto g xt1032.

i don't have brazilian device, so in stage 4 in the guide, i use the command:

ANY KK FIRMWARE TO 4.4.4 GPE.bat

after kitkat 4.4.4 installed, i connected my phone to my home network, and then checked if there is a software update on the device.

and YES, it found again lollipop 5.0.1 and download it.

now the installation worked as it should and i have a new lollipop 5.0.1 GPE :)

p.s.1:

all the data on my device was wiped out, besides what was backedup to google+ etc'.

no problem for me, because i do not have any important data on my moto g.

p.s.2:

in stage 3, you have to *first* disconnect your phone from the computer(of course if the phone already disconnected from the computer, you don't have to do nothing :)).

then get into bootloader mode and *now* connect your phone to the computer.

Woohoo, here we go!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
I'm going to flash this in the morning but I think I'll flash the NJ5 stock restore tar through Odin first.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EMSpilot:
Great idea. That will get you the modem. I will work on a modem flash soon!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bobbarker2:
What are the "Build.prop, battery, and CSC tweaks" changes made?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ACiDxCHRiST:
EMSpilot, thank you so much for what you are doing. There aren't many people with dev chops doing what you are doing for this phone. Even though I am using Stock NJ5, I am enjoying a few of your mods and seriously appreciate all the things that you are sharing with us.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rainabba:
To be plenty clear, this is Dev Edition only because that's the only way to get a recovery right now correct?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ACiDxCHRiST:
Yup, DE only.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
So I flashed the NJ5 stock restore tar file then TWRP with Odin, then installed SU through TWRP. After that I flashed the ROM and everything is up and running without any issues or errors. Thank you very much for you work, I truly appreciate it.

Edit: For some reason all of the Knox apps are still present even after a full data wipe prior to installing.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bobbarker2:
Hmm I can't get this ROM to boot on a clean flash with nothing else. Just hangs at VZW boot animation.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
Did you try flashing the NJ5 stock restore tar file first? That did it for me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EMSpilot:
I put a Knox removal zip in the instructions. I will permanently remove Knox in next version.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EMSpilot:
Yes Dev Phone Only
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] keithce:
I'd have to make sure I have a backup of my aboot partition before I did this right and then flash it in ODIN after the restore finished?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
You really should have it backed up already. The file I linked is for the DE, you shouldn't have any problems.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bobbarker2:
This doesn't have a bootloader in it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EMSpilot:
No bootloader in this.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
Using Titanium Backup I've found 6 apps that are linked to Knox but your script only removes 3. Are there only 3 that need to be removed to completely disable it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EMSpilot:
Only those 3 need to be disbaled. New V1.1 up no Knox
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Mibuix0r:
I luh you
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] radionerd:
Mine didn't work either, but I had froze Samsung keyboard because predictive didn't work. I think that sumsung needs to be enabled. I defrosted it, downloaded my language pack, then checked the box for pen recognition, and it works now.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
Is it possible to get a zip to apply the 1.3 and 1.4 changes without flashing the whole ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bobbarker2:
Does OCR work for people? When I hover the stylus over a text box, the little T icon will appear and when I click it nothing happens. Also when in SNote I select some written text and click transform and it crashes.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
How do I go about removing the 3Minit battery mod and Quicklaunch Panel? I tried removing the 3mint battery apk from system/app but then I get System UI F/C errors.

Edit: I grabbed the app to turn off the Quicklaunch panel and just turned off the icon in the 3minit settings. Is there a simple way to completely remove them?

Disregard, I ended up opening the zip and removing the system/apps and priv-apps prior to flashing. I saw that Bridge.apk was still in system/app which is a Knox related app so others may want to remove it.

Both work fine for me on 1.5.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] zman2107:
Thank you EMSPILOT for the great rom and great support . [emoji106] [emoji2]
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
I'm not sure what happened between flashes but when making a backup of the 1.5 release with my apps installed it's twice the size of previous backups at 9.8GB. Any ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bdorr1105:
Even the keyboard is fixed and action memo you need to go in settings and language and input, click the settings icon for them Samsung keyboard and then you download the English (us) language pack. ..that corrects the issue with predictive text and action memo.....I have everything working like a champ

Quick Launch % 3Minit Battery Removal

I just put up links to remove Quick Launch and 3Minit Battery in the OP.

Enjoy!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
Awesome, thank you very much for everything you're doing for us.

Edit: Unfortunately this ended up causing systemui to force close non-stop, I had to restore a backup.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EMSpilot:
Try it now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Just uploaded new Zips.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
Please don't apologize. That zip worked fine, thanks.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Arcolog2:
For future releases, can you add DT Ignite, Verizon Navigator and Verizon Support and Protection to the removed apps? Every time I flash all nice and clean, that stupid fricken Verizon bloatware app installs dumb games lol.

Awesome news on how easy it was to fix the Samsung keyboard predictive and spell check. Didn't even think to check language packs since my wife's retail version has English installed by default.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ebrinkis:
If I'm not mistaken, DT ignite is what reinstalls all the bloatware...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Arcolog2:
Yea I know, that's why I asked him to add it to the removed apps list. (I could have worded it better?)

Stupid Verizon goats are sneeeeaaakkkyyy
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
Just go into system/app or system/priv-app and remove them. I just remove all of the apps that I don't want (154 of them) prior to flashing the ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GreenGoblin227:
Is there a fix for predicitve txt?

---------- Post added at 05:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

Nevermind all set
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bdorr1105:
Yes look a few posts back this was discussed, have to download the language pack for the keyboard
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Arcolog2:
Duh, you're right....Didn't even think of doing that LMAO! All this awesome work by EMSPILOT has made me lazy.

EMSPILOT IS THE MAN!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] knewbee4lyfe:
so.... I am really scared to flash because, sometimes after flashing, I wonder, is it worth it all, the random resets, the errors, depending on what, phone and flash, it gets worrisom.

I basically just want bloat removed, sd card issue fixed, and multi window available. I know I just need certain apps for this, and its fixed, but this is what seems to be the cleanest root flash there is.

will this flash actually fix all those up there?

does someone have just a root fix? I dont really mind the bloatware. I like being able to pay my bill through my verizon and check my data usage. (always a discrepancy between my verizon and my phone's counter.) so I'd rather go with the counter that actually charges me.

anyway... im dling now... friggin 2 hours because of mirror upload time. ... but If there is an easier fix. I'd be happy to hear about it.

great work OP ... It seems that there are a lot of happy people with your ROM... u rock
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DavidMT909:
Just to ease your mind, I've had this ROM basically for a few builds now. I never have random resets or force closes, ever. The only errors I found were so small, I had to read about them here and try them for myself, because they were things you had to specifically do in an order to notice (like the s-pen memo bug which he fixed). The ROM is SOLID. No issues. And even though he removed things, some of us are removing even more. I know I've removed a bunch of apk's. And anything he did remove you can re-install yourself as he has links in the OP to download the apk's. Just put them all back in if you want. He also has another ROM that is a stock ROM. I haven't tried the KT kernel, but I run quite a few xposed modules. No problems, GREAT ROM!!! ...and just an FYI, to flash this you must have a DEV edition Note 4 in case you didn't know.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] knewbee4lyfe:
I appreciate the reply. thank you.

so where do I find the SE version of this rom?

I thought that if you reflash, you would be flashing the DE version into your phone... (sorta like engine swapping) it will still work with the proper tweaks that the OP has done.

is the SE version as good as this? what are the differences? link?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] manbat:
ROM only works with Developer Editions. ... because you can only put TWRP on Developer Editions. ..Consumer/Retail Editions have locked bootloaders so...no custom ROMs...

Sent from my SM-N910V / VZW Note 4 DE / Factory Bootloader Unlocked / Rooted / StarKissed / TWRP 2.8.3.0 trltevzw
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DavidMT909:
To flash any ROM on the Note 4, you must have the DE (Developer Edition) http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SM-N910VMKEVZW. If you bought it from Verizon, you do not have one and cannot flash a ROM. You can only get it from Samsung in the link I provided, or on eBay or second hand sellers like that. The DE comes with an unlocked boot loader which is why we can root and flash ROM's.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Poloasis:
All Gear VR related, I have tried very trick on the book to get this working with v1.5 of Definitive Rom to no success, phone reboots a few second after been inserted in the VR headset even after flashing the Gear VR fix provided a few post behind. The only way I can make this work is to be on stock rom. It does also work with TWRP, SuperSU and Xposed installed. I guess the best way is to wait for Definitive Rom compatibility at this point.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EMSpilot:
Gear VR

If some one would like to put together a pool and raise the money for a Gear VR I will be happy to make it work with my Rom. It is nearly impossible to fix otherwise. I have spent several days trying without the hardware.

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Poloasis:
If someone can start this, I will piching in. This device is amazing is worth every penny. Having this working with this ROM would be priceless. Right now I have to be on stock ROM for the moment, but the potential of making this work with this ROM is worth it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
I'm trying to get tethering to work goes on but code only has 7 characters need 8 what have I missed

Sorry I was dummy wasn't putting in last character works fine.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chumboy:
Thanks for this ROM OP!!!

Looking forward to future dev by you.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EMSpilot:
V1.6

Howdy,

Version 1.6 is uploading. I added Auto Start Apps to Settings. You can now select which apps you want to auto start on boot, saving your battery big time!!! Download is in OP! If you are on V1.5 you can just dirty flash the Mod listed in the download links in OP!!!

Please Don't forget to hit thanks, this was an all day project!!!

Enjoy!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Sakete:
Dude! And I just installed 1.5 an hour ago (received my Dev Ed today) ;)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
Thank you
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
Is there something wrong with the download every time I try it locks my phone up I hit download it freezes I can get out but then I have no Internet until I reboot

---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------

I think the server is down.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shpotik:
Great Rom! Running smooth!!! Is there a way to remove this?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
If you long press gives you option to delete
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DavidMT909:
Isn't that the Quick Launch? I haven't had it for so long I forgot, didn't like it either. Anyways, he has a zip in the OP you can flash to remove it.

New Note 4 DE, Need advice

Just received my new DE from samsung yesterday. I am downloading ver 1.6 and before discovering this thread I installed TWRP and rooted per http://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/development/how-to-custom-recovery-root-t2923340 and backed up my aboot and all other partitions. Since I have not activated the phone, do I need to flash the stock recovery and TWRP again?

---------- Post added at 07:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 AM ----------

My phone baseband version is: N910VOYU1ANJ5 I don't think I have to flash the stock recovery. Your instructions are for people not on NJ5 already, correct?

---------- Post added at 08:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 AM ----------

I flashed the ROM, and it booted up fairly quick. Looks like I have it going. Thanks for the ROM and I will donate.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EMSpilot:
Yes you are correct, since you are already on NJ5 you do not need to Odin NJ5 stock. You did it just right.

Enjoy!!! And thank You!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
Thank you for the zip to dirty flash the 1.6 changes, it saves me a lot of time.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chumboy:
This is weird......

Did a clean install, went through the setup and got to the homescreen fine.

I immediately went to messages and tried to write one by swiping.

It does not enter the text I want. Instead, it types out my email address I entered during setup. Each word I swipe, comes out with my email address, over and over again!!!? Hmmm.

In settings/language and input, default keyboard is set to Samsung. Samsung keyboard, Swype and Google voice typing are all 3 checked. Under the Samsung keyboard, the keyboard swipe is set to SwiftKey Flow.

In fact, no matter what app I use, when I swipe, it types my email address. Since my email address was the first thing I typed in, maybe that text is stuck in the buffer (if there is such a thing in android).

If I turn off Predictive Text in Samsung keyboard settings, it won't let me swipe the words in.

Going into Predictive Text and unchecking everything and clearing server and personal data doesn't work either.

---------- Post added at 11:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------

One more thing...

After doing a clean install, immediately go to Developer options and change Select Runtime System to ART, the phone reboots and the runtime system is set back to Dalvik.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Thepooch:
Only thing I noticed so far is the inability to deactivate reactivation lock.. so far so cool on my DE..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EMSpilot:
Go to settings/Language and Input/Handwriting Recognition and download a language!!!

This Rom is not compatable with ART yet!

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bjtcars:
Same with me on the reactivation lock though I have no problem getting into recovery.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ebrinkis:
I've tried to install the KT Kernel several times and keep getting FC's and freezes that need battery pulls. Which version / date worked for you? Did you need to change anything to get it to run? Any known incompatibilities or settings? Have you tried other profiles other than v2?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Thepooch:
[MENTION=2692424]nato844[/MENTION] clued me in on the fact if you log out of Samsung account you can then disable reactivation lock find a post of his and thank him it was not my find. Unfortunately when logging back in it`s then reactivated automatically.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] phoenixgward:
Alright, I've Odin'd to NJ5 (N910VVRU1ANJ5_StockRestore.tar.md5), Odin'd TWRP (latest version, 2.8.4.0), then wipe everything, flash ROM and Knox Free, but when I try to reboot it just goes into a boot loop, constantly turning on and off, it never gets to the boot animation screen. Any ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
Is that the newest twrp maybe that's the problem sometimes there are problems with new ones
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] phoenixgward:
Yeah, it is. Just noticed it was uploaded yesterday. Anybody using 2.8.3 or should I just try it with 2.8.1.1?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
I'm 2.8.3 I flashed the update zip no problem. I did have a problem downloading for some reason my phone kept locking up when I tried to download had to restart phone to get data weird fixed itself though.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] phoenixgward:
Alright, just tried again using 2.8.1.1, still didn't work. Same result, boot looping. Just to be sure, I am flashing stock NJ5 via Odin, then TWRP via Odin, then I flash the ROM. I have tried rebooting at this point, without flashing the Knox Free (do we actually need to do that to get rid of Knox or is the ROM without Knox already?), and I've tried flashing the Knox Free. When I go to boot, it advises me to Flash SuperSU to achieve root, have tried doing so, also tried doing SuperSU first, then ROM. Is there something else I am supposed to be doing or am I just having some problems. I have verified the MD5 on the ROM download so the file should be fine.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chumboy:
OP....with all due respect, are you serious? Download a language? Gotta give me more credit than that. Installed my favorite...English. I've tried everything, with no luck. Going back to stock for awhile. ART works on stock and greatly improved my speed.

As far as ART on Definitive ROM, I refer you to your install instructions:

"7. To Use ART enable Developer Options touch Select Runtime System, then select Use ART. Your phone will reboot (takes 5 Min) and you should see a noticeable speed increase across the board. "

I couldn't get ART to work on Definitive, kept rebooting and reverting back to Dalvik.

Looking forward to it on Definitive.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
I was stock rooted then flashed update then flashed the ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chumboy:
AS soon as I pulled my GN4 DE out of the box, I went to the "how to: root and recovery for DE" thread. I followed it exactly (thru step 11) THEN downloaded & flashed Definitive ROM. Here are the steps I followed:

1. Download USB drivers from Samsung: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads and install

2. Using ODIN V 3.09 : download here( http://www.android.gs/download-odin-3-09/), power off phone and then boot into download mode (volumn down plus menu)

3. Connect phone to computer using stock USB cable

4. Make sure ODIN recognizes your phone, this could take a few second

5. In "Options" box make sure "Auto Reboot" and "F.Reset Time" are checked

6. In ODIN, Check "AP" box. Click on the long box to the right and locate where you have the TWRP.tar file saved, highlight the file and click open

7. Click "Start" to flash openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.1-trltetmo.img.tar here:http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/201 , or the recommended Verizon version of TWRP .tar file provided by bigbiff here : http://www.techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/trltevzw

8. Do not interrupt ODIN or disconnect your phone. Wait until you get a green "PASS" indicator on the status bar

9. Unplug phone and enjoy

This gives a fully functional custom TWRP recovery. Now do a backup in TWRP. This gives you a stock backup with no root. Now go to step 10 to obtain root.

10. Using TWRP in recovery, flash the SU.zip(2.16) file that has been saved to your internal storage or external sd card (Thank you [MENTION=2770711]mrlaigle[/MENTION]): http://download.chainfire.eu/589/Sup...erSU-v2.16.zip

You should now have a fully rooted, custom TWRP recovery, SuperuserSU Developer Edition Note 4.

11. Optional , but recommended: Now, do another backup. You will have a stock backup with root (you can never have to many backups at this point in the Note 4 development).
