issue with lollipop roms

I have a strange issue with all lollipop roms I've flashed on my device and I've tried them all with the same result... Basically my account is having some payment issues as I had the genius idea to get on someone else's family plan and although my mobile data is shut off and I can't make calls, I am still able to send and receive texts-but only with Touchwiz roms.

I've never been a big aosp,cm fan but lately it's been growing on me more and more especially while waiting for the Lollipop update to roll out... if it ever does.. Obviously I can't go without the ability to text what so ever but I haven't been able to find a solution or even any kind of info on the matter unless I'm just not looking in the right place.

Also, I'm not 100% it works with all the tw roms/kernels but works with no L roms. Any help or input would be much appreciated, I'm sure there's an easy answer for this.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgbotoe:
Can't you just get one of those apps like watsup and vibers (if the receiving end has it as well of course) to send and receive text on aosp? I doubt theres a solution to send text and receive on a phone that does not not have service...which is what i'm gathering from you

How are you sending it on touchwiz roms? thats so interesting to know lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KatGirl_qc:
I've been using textfree/pinger and hangouts with people that have it but it's inconvenient having to give everyone a new phone number and I'd rather not publish it on my facebook etc..

I really can't explain why I've been able to continue to text but it'S been letting me for some time now.. I thought it had finally quit working so I started using a lollipop rom but then I received a text earlier from someone on the same plan as me and realized Im still able to... I forgot to mention that as well, I am able to receive texts while on Lollipop roms. So I'm switched back to tw for now....

International N910 F (Bought in Sweden)

Hey guys!

I have been searching on here and it seems that since both phones are Snapdragon based they can use the same roms! How would one go about flashing a T Mobile Rom on my N910F from Sweden? It's not locked to any carrier, I'm in the US currently and using T-Mobile.

Based on what i read i need to find a T-Mobile rom and then flash a Kernel from the international forum and then its all good? Thanks in regards!

Most likely won't work, it might boot but it could have other issues. It may have the same chipset, but it is not the same phone.

How can I change them to the standard set?

You would have to find the files in your system using root browser them replace/add them with the files from AOSP android. What emos are you looking for. I know the LGG3 has different ones from a nexus 6 as well. Not all phones use the same ones.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShrekOpher:
Did you mess with the DPI at all. There are many different things that could have caused this issues. If I had to guess I would assume gravity box caused the issue. I have messed with just about every setting in Wanam and never had any issues.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMerBoSs:
Yeah I think it had to be gravity Box, this happened before I started messing with the dpi and stuff.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShrekOpher:
if you grab the "App Seeting" Xposed module you can change the DPI back for just the camera and everything will work just fine.

When you are in the app just search for anything related to camera, or gallery and turn them back to 640 dpi. I run my note 4 at 480 on most of the rest of the apps.

There is also a thread that disscuss this specifically. Search the "general" forum and you will find it.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misterjunky:
re: flashing

You can odin flash a stock tmobile N910T COD6 firmware & it will work fine,

you can also flash any N910T pre-rooted zip file stock or custom rom in twrp

if you happen to have one in your internal or external sdcard.(no need to root)

But if you don't have a twrp flashable zip file rom in internal/external sdcard

then your only option is to odin flash official N910T COD6 Lollipop firmware.

All twrp flashable zip file roms are pre-rooted.

Good luck!

Ive had my note 4 about 2 months now and just updated to lollipop and ever since the play store will randomly open to different apps for download it can happen after unlocking screen, clicking on apps, and sometimes just by itself. Is this normal or some type of adware? Scans find nothing and ive tried clearing cache but still happens.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShrekOpher:
Sounds like adware to me. Have you installed any apps from 3rd party app stores, or gone to some shady sites? Could be the cause. Take a look at the running applications screen in your settings>application manager > swipe left to running tab. Screen shots all the running apps and let me take a look. If you don't notice anything weird in there it might be time to do a clean install of a ROM to see if you can get rid of the bug/bad software.

Can some just please give me a 1-2-3 step on installing TEKXodus ROM? First time rooting and flashing. I just want to get this installed and running. The installation guide is a bit confusing. So I would really appreciate a step process on how to get the ball rolling.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShrekOpher:
1.) make sure you are on the latest lollipop build (image 1)

2.) make sure your device is rooted and you have TWRP installed (if you need help doing those search the forum there are step by step guides)

3.) reboot into recovery

4.) go to wipe > advanced wipe then put check marks by cache, davlink cache, data, system. And wipe them.

5.) then go to install and select your ROM

6.) once it is finished click on the wipe davlink cache button

7.) then reboot system

If you have never flashed a ROM you should watch the below video to get started.

I've been a Verizon member with a note4 running kitkat for some time now, in the end i got tired of the lack of root so i switched to T-Mobile Note4, ive got root and recovery all set up as in the sticky.

Auto-Root Not Rooting

This is my first attempt at rooting and I've encountered an issue. I've been following the 'Root Samsung Galaxy Note 4' video provided on XDA, down to a T. My phone has had no issues and has no problems at all. Odin had done its operation without a hitch, my phone goes into the reboot and everything, totally a-okay. No errors at all. Once my phone reboots, though, I check for SuperSU and it isn't installed. I do a check for root by using the TWRP Manager app I installed ahead of time, it tells me there isn't any root.

Is there something I missed or something wrong? I'm using CF Auto-Root and I'm currently on Lollipop. I've had CyanogenMod on my phone before but I decided to go back to stock through a backup my friend made while he worked on it.

There is actually a guide in general that tells you how to downgrade...also there is a discussion among those who are thinking of downgrading or have...check them out. Under general

Wait so you restore a back up? I am assuming you have a recovery installed? Is there a particular rom.you are trying to install? If so just flash the rom in recovery...because all roms have supersu baked in you will be provided with root. Also if have twrp can also flash supersu

Yup, I have TWRP and I currently have CyangenMod. SuperSU refuses to update its binary, stating there's an error, constantly. I've installed AdAway and it also denies updating or installing because of either no root access or update to the binary.

CyangenMod has root built in. You do not need to use super user. Just go into the developer settings and turn root on. No need for the 3rd party app anymore all of the privileges are handled at the system level.

Hi guys, longtime Android user and modder here...with a noob question.

Every Android phone I've had in the past I've rooted, modded, customized to hell. With the Note 4s (wife and I have identical hardware, hers is white and mine is black) we decided to stay stock and stop messing around since I don't really have the time.

We just updated to Lollipop maybe 1-2 weeks ago, and since then have been experiencing the following problem:

The phones (both do this) stop responding for 1-4 seconds at a time every once in a while, then resumes. This happens when unlocking the screen, when typing on Facebook, text messages, emails etc, when playing video games, when listening to audio books, etc. Point is, it happens multiple times in any given hour of usage but with no pattern as to where it happens - doesn't seem to care what you're doing.

So that is annoying, as I'm sure you can imagine. But it gets better.

If when this happens my phone is connected to the car's bluetooth, the audio stops, and after the 1-4 second pause, the audio resumes at 2x or 3x the speed until it "catches up" and automatically resumes normal speed. This has happened on both phones on Google Play Music, Audible and Google Maps. So I get a pause, and then fast audio playback. Hilarious.

Note that this pausing happens whether i'm using the phone or not. Obviously if I'm not using it and it's not playing audio, I don't notice it, but when playing audio via bluetooth then I notice it as described above. Interestingly, the audio does NOT stop playing or play faster if it's connected on my other car via aux cable - the screen freezes while the audio plays normally via aux.

Obviously it's something to do with the Lollipop update, since both phones are hardware identical and have worked fine for us for a long time and this only began after the update. The bluetooth/car stereo is the same we've had for years, so it's not a problem with that either.

Phones are not rooted, so we both have the same stock bloat, but otherwise we have very different ways of using the phone so she has two or three times as many apps, most of which are different from mine.

So, what the heck is causing this and how can we fix it? If rooting will get rid of this issue I guess I'll root, but I'd like to know the cause and confirm that rooting will indeed fix it. Thank you in advance.

I got an AT&T note4 and it was not root-able so it is gone. and now I don't know what to get I need the size of the note4 to read it and just need a little advice as to which phone I can root and use on my carrier, and the T-Mobile note 4 seems to run most custom Roms. and if nothing else i will go back to a note3.

Anybody know how to root and encrypt?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShrekOpher:
Search for the cf auto root thread. It will walk you through how to root the phone.

Encryption is as simple as checking a box i the settings, but ALWAYS make sure you un-encrypt the phone before you flash a new rom.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrkart99:
I know how to root, but with encryption it's a problem and its high stakes. If it doesn't work, I have to Odin back to stock and factory reset all my data. I believe that the phone has to be rooted after encryption, or it has to be disabled before encrypting. If I unencrypt, flash a new rom that's rooted, how/can I unroot, run encryption then root again? Does a custom bootloader screw up encryption?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShrekOpher:
Root first then encrypt. If you are already encrypted you need to reverse it. Then root your phone then encrypt it again.

Encrypt the phone after you root. You can even run encryption on a CM based ROMs which come with root built in.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrkart99:
I tried to encrypt on tekhd while rooted and it froze and I had to Odin and factory reset. Twice. My understanding from everything I've read thus far is that if the phone is rooted and I encrypt, I have to factory reset and Odin.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShrekOpher:
Most TW ROMs won't let you have root and encryption. Its possible to build one that does allow it, but I'm not sure there is one available. TEKHD probably just doesn't support it.

Also if you encrypt your phone you will soft brick it if you try to root afterwards. From my understanding this is all new since lollipop. On TW kitkat you can encrypt a rooted device.

What is the need to encrypt the device?

You may have to use an AOSP ROM if you need encryption and root.

The fact of the matter is it may be trying to encrypt your phone and just failing. The encryption on lollipop is what is slowing the phone down. It slows the phone down terribly.

Are you just trying to sync email? There are great 3rd party apps that work on rooted devices that provide encryption that may work with your company.

I'm a big fan of Nine (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ninefolders.hd3)

A lot of times you can get it to work on any company email sync as long as you know the correct settings. I'm assuming you guys use outlook.

You can buy the license for the app once you download and install it. Using PayPal.

I've had the best experience with pure CM 12.1. You can download the latest nightly here (http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=trltetmo)

You need g-apps as well I recommend slim g-apps you can get them here (http://104.236.22.120/index.php?device=gapps/lollipop/5.1)

Also its wise to follow the CM NIGHTLY change log in case any critical updates come out. You can follow that here (http://www.cmxlog.com/12.1/trltetmo/)

If you have any camera issues use Open camera instead (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera)

One last question. The steps I would then follow would be to

1. unencrypt the phone now,

2. then root,

3. tibu my current stuff,

4, flash twrp

5. flash cm 12.1 which is rooted already,

6. add all apps up there,

7. encrypt

8. Profit?
