We've already spoke and he's on the case it's just a bit more difficult without the sources. I've tried but it just boots straight into download mode when i try and make it permissive

---------- Post added at 09:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 AM ----------

If the bootloader, modem and rom versions don't match selinux will stop the rom from booting. A permissive kernel will bypass this meaning the rom should boot with a different modem and bootloader. This obviously means g users can then flash the rom without needing to flash the bootloader and modem . Hope that makes sense

Blocking mode is gone from settings.

With activity launcher I cannot enable it. It FC

Any sugestions?

Thx
[Galaxy Note 4 General] iridaki:
Blocking mode is in the toggles now. It is renamed to "Interruptions" as per Google's latest feature. You can use the toggle to switch from "All" (all notifications alert you), "Priority" (only notifications from your Favorite Contacts as well as alarms and reminders alert you) and "None" (no notification alerts).
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sefuleo:
That isn`t blocking mode. It`s more like silent mode.

With blocking mode when I get a call the screen remains off and all notifications (except alarms) don`t wake my screen

edit: on S5 blocking mode is working (on 5.0)

Hi,. is there instructions on how to flash this rom? just tried to via TWRP recovery mode and it just fails with an error saying it cant flash this zip!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mklass:
Yes I have the same issues I posted a few days ago.

Glad its not just me.

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 PM ----------

Hi Mate,

There are plenty of instructions in this thread.

You cannot flash through TWRP. You need to download the zip extract and flash through Odin.

If you are unable to use Odin ist quite straight forward just do a quick Google search or have a look on YouTube there's plenty of tutorials
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jonneymendoza:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Shadamehr:
I tried a creative route for my UK Carrier based upgrade... I was mindful that a full update from 4.4.4 to 5.0.1 without Wipe might be problematic. So I devised a cunning plan to install the German DBT 4.4.4 ROM first without Wipe or Delete, due to how similar it would obviously be to my own, and then once it was on, with all my Apps etc still nicely in place, I would then do an OTA upgrade to the new German DBT ROM, thus again keeping all my Apps etc.

Alas, when I tried this, it told me there was no OTA upgrade to the then installed German 4.4.4. So I tried Samsung KIES, which ALSO told me there was no 5.0.1 upgrade firmware.

So in the end I manually installed 5.0.1 via Odin without Wipe. Alas due to my heavy App count (I have 250 or so - I seriously need to sort myself/my apps out), I found I repeatedly kept getting Google play Services errors. In the end I had to go to one of the GApps Early websites, and download a newer Google Play Services version.

This did away with the Google Play Services issues, but I still found my phone problematic due to it having been a "No Wipe" install, so I eventually went back and did a Wipe then install a couple of hours ago, and now I am just setting things back up manually as I type.

But in short, putting the German 5.0.1 ROM on a UK device is no issue at all.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Infoseye:
You would have saved yourself the hassle just flash german release directly over kitkat 4.4.4 I did mine like that with no issues. Any lags so far?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] SGN4SD:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] mklass:
Lets be honest mate. When you have to setup everything again and reinstall its like we have a new device.. And lets be honest we like to tinker a lot that's why were on this forum plus it can force you to delete the crappy apps that we no longer use.. Its a good exercise every once in a while.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] AnisKhan:
Thanks for your help.

I figured out the problem. In my uncontrollable, hysterical panic stricken scramble to download the ROM, I download the 910c ROM instead of 910f.

GULP

I'm lucky I didn't brick my phone. It just kept saying FAIL. Phew.

It was only after a few deep breaths and my senses had come back to me did I realize where I had gone wrong.

Ah, the madness that ensues with a new ROM. It's amazing what comes over people.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] xjw1:
I need a helping hand as I am worrying, I flashed the 5.0.1 straight from SamMobile using Odin on my SIM free N910F, which to my disbelief resulted in a dodgy upgrade.

the phone booted, upgraded all of my apps, finally started to load up after about 5 mins, and when the load completed all that showed was a black screen with a notification bar, and kept rebooting until I pulled out the battery.

also I flashed from the unofficial cm12 for the n910f, I think this may be the problem.

anyone know what's wrong?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Kev600:
I had the wifi dropouts with the latest O2 UK OTA update on KK! Unsure yet if they're still occurring with LP, which was applied/upgraded to without any problems. (No wipe. All apps retained. Will test BTSport and report back! :) )

My only gripe so far is that my Antutu score is LESS with LP by about 1500. It scored 48950 max on KK. Not getting near it on LP..

But the interface is crisp and swift. I use Solo Launcher.. Not rooted.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tuckersmission:
Hey Dudes,

Here's my benchmark on L. No wipe flash over NK5.

Everything running smooth. No issues so far. Can't belive the score even though I don't belive that benchmarks reflect the real experience. So for me it was just out of interest.

The only other time I scored over 5k is on Echoe ROM v2 with some performance kernel mods.... so I really cannot wait to see what the Amazing Developers here can do with L.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Shadamehr:
As per my message, I did have issues. Albeit, I dare say that bit by bit I could have resolved them - but the point is, having tried a No Wipe install and found a few issues as opposed to hoping to see none, that's invariably always the hint that you'd be better of doing a wipe install, so that's what I went back and did. Running lovely and fast as a result now though... German DBT Samsung software seems much less bloated than UK Samsung Firmware.

72 hours with Lollipop

Installed Lollipop via Odin on my UK EE Note 4 on Friday. Direct flash over the stock UK 4.4.4. No cache clearing or factory reset.

Some quick Pros/Cons from my point of view:

Pros:

Lightning quick - I don't have any lag on the phone at all :good:

New animations are nice

Lock screen notifications are cool

New folder colours :D

Mobile signal strength seems improved, and more stable

Cons:

Seems OK now, but for the first 2 days my battery was being seriously drained

Where has the option to Mute gone :confused: Vibrate mode does not equal mute when the phone is on your bedside table...

No camera improvements

Chromecast integration seems buggy. Had to reboot twice over the weekend as the Cast icon wouldn't show up in apps. Was rock-solid on Kit-Kat.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dkreventon:
Mine has quite poor battery life when connected to mobile data.

Don't know of why, but it says that Facebook has a lot of "total connection time". Also, I have no Google now, location reporting or even the location on, but it has a lot of wakelocks and says that the WiFi is on (I keep it off and allow always scanning unchecked).

I have just 1:15h of screen on time.

What's up with the new heads up notifications beings so terrible. It gets in your face and stays for 30 seconds. You can't click on it to open the app, all you can do is swipe to the side which completely dismisses it -_- I want it to go to the notification area so that I can check it later. But noo you can't swipe it up into the notifications only dismiss it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Shadamehr:
Lollipop itself changes things immensely, on all devices/flavours - namely a move to "Interrupt Mode"

The Samsung implementation is further confused and convoluted however.

But let me help you... The simple solution is this:

Pull down the top Status/Notification Bar...

You will see an icon for Sound or Vibrate (the same one that used to also have a third toggle of Mute, that is now removed).

Use THIS icon, for the option of Sound or Vibrate.

You will also now see a NEW icon further along, for "Priority/All/None"

You use THIS to enable "No Interrupts" (or priority interrupts, if you wish to configure these separately) and this takes the place of "Silent Mode" by way of the phone not interrupting you to any notifications, calls, sms, emails etc etc. The end result is the same.

The reason for changing to this method is that it allows for a much greater customisation of what you permit through, if you want to. But on it's simplest level, will allow for "Silent Mode" in the manner you wish - just click on this icon until the "NONE" option is "lit up".

HTH,
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jadaress1:
Only problem with that is that the alarm only vibrates and makes no sound in that mode
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Kev600:
The alarm now depends on you having a volume level set, OR Vibrate... As it's also considered an 'interruption'.

In other words, everything (interruptions) either vibrates.. Or plays at the given volume. (for which the alarm has its own volume level which will work if the global setting is not on vibrate)

It's rubbish. Silent mode was exactly that, except for the alarm, which is logical.

What are Google thinking?

They've broken Google Calendar Sync too. ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Jonathan-H:
+1.

Interruptions mode is a joke! I do not want to use crap like that which is overly stupid. I just want the phone to be silent while still showing me my notifications.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Kev600:
Use an alternative launcher, such as Solo, which I use.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ashatar:
Maybe they'll add silent mode back in some later updates. :p
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Infoseye:
Exactly!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RandyKaoss:
Thanks! I thought it was something to do with the new Interruptions thing, but didn't notice the new Notification Icon! :good:

Still, it's not the most intuitive system
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Pinnacle74:
That's one option yes, but I like the touchwiz launcher and would like to continue to use it.

I know this was done on KitKat and I'm sure someone will do it on Lollipop also, I just wanted to check if it was already done. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Kev600:
But - you must now consider that the ALARM is now included as an interruption!

And therefore if you want a quiet phone all night, but have the alarm wake you, then you must use 'Only Allow Priority Interruptions', AND ensure that the 'Events and reminders' is checked.

And also that you have NOT set 'Vibrate' mode! [Unless, of course you just want to be gently awoken with the phone vibrating!!]

Not intuitive/straight forward or user-friendly. Bad move IMO.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tuckersmission:
I like it. Your right! much better customisation when you learn hoe to use it. I can now have silent mode but let through priority notifications, like the hospital calling about treatment and emergencies. I'm not sure what is not to like.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Kev600:
I have managed to get Google Calendar Sync working, after installing the actual Google Calendar app. Then toggling the sync OFF and back ON, for the calendar's which were not displaying.

My original app (CAL) now shows all events as before! :D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RandyKaoss:
I don't use my phone as an alarm so that's not a problem for me. Sounds like the feature hasn't been completely thought through.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Kev600:
Yeah, I guess we all assume that newer is better.. not always the case.

Fine control over the interruptions or notifications IS a cool idea, but I think there should still be a 'Silent' mode, and alarms could be more configurable, ie still work when phone is OFF.

(Like the old Nokia bricks used to!)

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Shadamehr:
I've not had a chance to test this real world yet, so it would be wrong for me to comment. Though I will say that my last alarm (on KitKat) never went off, because I never realised Timely now/has it's own independent volume setting, and somehow this was off. So I had something akin to this on KitKat.

In what way? What's happened?
