Do you guys also have missing in the network options GSM option only?

i only get "only WCDMA" besides automatic.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
I have GSM - you have to bear in mind that this isn't a full complete firmware package because the by hidden.img has been removed so there might be some bits that are missing depending on where you are like:

- missing action memo when selecting from air commands

Also depends on network as well (obv).

Where are you leocris?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
I did find my phone was hotter than usual whilst I was charging just after flashing. I don't think Samsung will do anything if this release isn't for you region, i.e. if you're not from Sweden, as they will say you should only use firmware authorised for your region.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] leocris:
I´m in Portugal and i only get 3 of those 4 options, no gsm only option.

I´ve flashed the italian version with pit file not to get the file to big error.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mohican22:
bah I have other chargers...

I charge 1000mA now on, the charger heats but the unit is ok

be careful even if there is a fuse in the original charger. it is the fuse that has blown
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
That could be why. Just keep an eye out for the updates as they come out and flash the correct one for your country and network when it comes out.

Hi Guys

I've repacked the Swedish firmware 5.1.1. with the hidden.img file from a previous firmware and this has fixed the missing portions of the firmware such as action memo not working when using air command. This is now working with this file.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B74pS2tbwuead202bVp5OFNIcUE

It's just a tar file so it can be flashed straight after download. Don't need to unzip/extract or anything, just go into Odin and open the file in the AP section and start flashing.

There's still a small bug on the swipe lock screen - seems that the animation is beating the sound so you get half the unlock sound when swiping to unlock. This is just an issue with the Swedish firmware and hope it's fixed in other releases.

For the time being, the above link is the latest and best (in my opinion lol) version where everything is working.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] themaximillian:
leedsync; i flashed this version and action memo works as intended.

But when i go to s note and try to copy the phonenumber it says identifying and nothing happens.

Also after each reboot the weather widget disappears from my home screen and a empty page is added....

With the two exceptions above i haven't found any other issues.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
Hi

I have the same problem with s note - sometimes mine just crashes and force closes without letting me do anything. I can't even access my saved notes at the moment. I think this, along with the weather widget you are using, is possibly a wider problem to do with the system image itself.

The hidden.img file was taken from the POF2 version that we had previously. I haven't changed anything else.

I've read that it could potentially be due to compatibility with 5.1.1 as my weather/clock widget is blank after reboot and I have to remove the widget and add it back. I also have a Sony smartband which supposedly fails to connect after reboot but when I wake my band up it connects - these two problems existed for me with the other repacked version where hidden.img was removed completely.

I'm using "weather timeline - forecast" app for my weather/clock widget.

Which one are you using? Are you getting the swipe unlock problem that I am experiencing (referred to in previous post)?

[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
Yes, both the hidden.img.ext24 and cache.img.ext24 was removed from the original Swedish firmware and swapped with the ones from POF2. Apologies, I should have made that clear.

The earlier repacked version that another member had done had both these completely removed which caused the missing action memo option on air commands.

My RAM usage is 75%, is this normal?

I took the hidden and cache from the version that [MENTION=1262300]alexndr[/MENTION] had done for the POF2 NEE version - the dates for the files were March 2015 I think. The original POF2 NEE wouldn't flash on my phone either and at that point I used the version from alexndr

This is where I got the hidden.ing.ext24 and cache.img.ext24

[Galaxy Note 4 General] tr1cky1:
A quick question:

I flashed the tar without hidden.img and cache.img and now some things are not working, e.g. it doesn't display me any options when I highlight a phone number in action note.

Is it possible to create a .tar with only the hidden.img and the cache.img and flash it with Odin without doing a factory reset?

If so, what hidden.img and cache.img is the best option to get?

Edit: My original note is DBT.

Regards

tr1cky
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sPEADy:
Edit
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
I can pack just the hidden.img.ext24 and cache.img.ext24 if you want just those two?

As mentioned above, the hidden and cache files were taken from the repacked version for POF2 NEE that alexndr had done. I used the exact same files that are in the repacked POF2

Info on POF2 can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/note-4/general/rom-unofficial-repacked-lollipop-t3105093

Alexndr hasn't got round to doing 5.1.1 yet so there's no update from him on this current Swedish version of 5.1.1

Can you check if your csc is aligned using the app "Samsung Phone Info" - the one I repacked for 5.1.1 is multi CSC

Xposed ? ????
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
Which repacked version did you flash? I have no errors or problems with TouchWiz on the repacked version I did. Everything on TouchWiz is working fine bar the few odd bits which I suspect is a bug in the system image (e.g. swipe unlock action/animation faster than sound which usually is made when swiping to unlock and the expanded notifications that expand bottom to top rather than from top to bottom).

[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
Ah ok, yeah if you're getting TouchWiz error then probably best try factory reset. I have to admit that before we had any idea that 5.1.1 was coming I had personally done a factory reset because my phone was lagging and things were taking too long to open or load. Try the full factory reset but backup before the reset :) - the reset usually sorts out any problems

Last time I checked (two weeks ago), it was still quite impossible to buy it without a contract, so even if I wanted, it would be impossible. And the screen is quite bad, nothing like the screen on our Note 4 (which is simply regarded to be THE best screen there is at the moment). So Note 4 + Cm12 outperforms the nexus 6 by far ;)

I've only stated I like Touchwiz in threads were that was appropriate, aka where people discuss stock ROMs.

Will I be less boring if I start hijacking CM threads and talk down to people who use it? Hmm... Maybe, but I'd also be quite pathetic. So it's not a chance I'm willing to take, unlike you apparently.

Since you don't like TW or the new update, the time has come to return to the CM threads and leave the rest of us in peace, don't you think? ;)

You will require a custom recovery which will trip KNOX, as far as I'm aware there is no method of fully backing up your device without root.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
The way I do it is to make a copy of the internal memory by simple copy and paste to my laptop and then move over any things with backups like WhatsApp back to the phone when I've reset. Other things like games are usually stored either on Google play games or online servers so you can start off where you left before the reset.

Doing it this way you have a full copy of all the data for each app in addition to saving pictures, downloads etc.

It's very weird that action memo isn't working. Mine starting working straight after I flashed the repacked firmware that I had done. Very puzzling.

This thread isn't a rom thread that's been set up by a developer, it's just guys like you and me commenting and providing support to others/each other. The following link is the main thread that gives you links to the individual variants of note 4:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3029201

There is no point splitting this n910F thread to the specific countries in this region because they all end up being from the same firmware model. The only difference will be when networks release their version for each country. At that point you can download the firmware from whichever site you use to download firmware from.

The 5.1.1 firmware has only been released in Sweden and no where else in Europe so the latest firmware offerings, like the repacked version I created, is the only version of 5.1.1 available with multi CSC.

---------- Post added at 03:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------

Yeah if no CSC when you use "Samsung Phone Info" app then it's because the hidden.img.ext24 and cache.img.ext24 have been included in the rom/repacked version you have flashed. But you said your have flashed the multi CSC version which should have given the CSC. Where are you based?

Theoretically it should be OK. I'm guessing that the repacked ones were not working because they are multi CSC but they don't include NEE.
