5.6 was not released for N910F, but 5.8 and 5.9 was.

No its just that there has been no reason for me to update, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

You can decide if you want root with magisk/supersu or no root, you can also choose what CSC you want and many other things (including how to recover from bootloop). It tells you how to do all of thid in the first post.

Root selection

Recovering from bootloop

CSC selection

Add xposed

You can do all of this by renaming the zip file as it suggests or editing a script which is inside the zip file. You will have to copy and paste that script outside the zip file, I think there may be more things to customise but that's just a guess.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] fizzingbees:
Okay that's really helpful.

So if I want BOG as CSC and supersu as root with xposed installation. How would I name my installer zip?

BOG _ devbase xxx supersu xposed.zip ?

That's how or there is more specific way to rename the zip file
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Windroid-user:
Hey sorry for late reply man forgot to reply lol

Yeah that's right although I recommend putting the "_" for supersu and xposed as well.

So like this:

BOG_devbasexxx_supersu_xposed.zip

It just looks a lot cleaner and easier to read and it might possibly not work if you don't put the "_" in. I have personally never tried this since I use magisk and care about safetynet and already had my preferred CSC so I just flashed it as it is.

Good luck and let me know how it goes and if you like it:good:
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] haybill:
It's all about personal preference, and how your particular device responds to the firmware--for me, or rather my Note 4, Base 5.9 seemed to give me some issues so I rolled back (TWRP Backup, essential obviously) to Base 5.8 (DRD1) and it's been solid for months. I can't imagine there are massive changes between base 4.3 and 5.9 but we all like the new, shiny firmware, it seems.

At the end, it's up to you, Alexndr cooks the ROM and you take your pick-- he's the best.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Windroid-user:
Sorry but I need some help with battery life, pretty sure it's not rom related and definitely not battery related (bought new zerolemon battery, also have an extended one).

SOT is not that good and standby time I think it's good because phone deep sleeps but still... not very nice battery life, may be signal?

I don't have automatic sync or use Bluetooth and brightness almost always dim unless I need it higher to actually see and power saving is on.

I would have no problem using kitkat as I can bet battery life would be great, used xperia z3 with same things I explained here (apart from power saving which was stamina mode and I think it made a huge difference, even though I have always had it on since I got the phone) and it gave me 2 days battery life with like 6 hours SOT.

But the thing is there may be compatibility issues and things not being supported like apps because they require at least lollipop. Especially since I now use banking apps and Gpay.

I believe marshmallow is better than Lollipop which is why I'm on Marshmallow, but Kitkat still beats both of them when it comes to battery life for me.

Will post screenshots from BBS next day after I've used my phone. Will only charge it to 90% though so keep that in mind.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Windroid-user:
Actually I instead decided to charge my extended battery and use it as I wasn't planning on going anywhere.

Only used it for 8 hours and 38 minutes which got me 3hr 40 SOT.

Remember this is the extended battery and not the normal sized battery although it shouldn't matter right?

Many thanks as I appreciate your help.

Hi Windroid-user,

i think NOTE4 suffer of motherboard problem that cause emmc error or big drain of battery. The original battery when i bought my phone made 6 hours of SOT....now is impossible make that...i have only 3-4 hours of SOT

It's time to change phone...or brand...
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Giowi:
the same for me.battery drain but bbs shows 98% deep sleep. I bought a new original battery 2 month ago
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Windroid-user:
No no its not that phone works perfectly fine no lag, random reboots but battery temp above 30°C due to weather whereas at night 25°C.

Yeah doze seems to be working very well? I'm using greenify so it will go into doze mode even faster. Also that is with this module "Universal GMS Doze" this is meant to optimise google play services for doze because by default it's not. Iooked at its thread and it seems like some users on the same version as me have similar percentage I think it's pretty high and the reason why battery is draining but honestly not 100% sure.

Forgot to check battery drain by GMS before flashing module.

Here's the link to xda thread:https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-universal-gms-doze-t3853710/page74

There are more modules which do the same thing but I think this one also does some other things to improve battery life further.

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------

Also thank you for your replies I really appreciate it.

About new phone:

LG V10-V30 seem good but obviously now they are too outdated so maybe latest LG V phone is also good?

Oneplus 7/7 Pro seem very good as well. Also all the other oneplus phones but some of them may developed early problems.

I think I would personally buy Oneplus 7, not pro version. Because of three things (well kind of 2) I believe the camera pop-up mechanism will last a very long times if you simply take care of it and not allow dirt/debris/sand to get into it by keeping your pockets clean and not using it on the beach (but then what's the point lol). However, if you have young children around your phone they might mess around with it without you knowing and eventually... broken.

Secondly and thirdly lol, the display. I would prefer flat screen rather than curved so I can fit a tempered glass screen protector with no problems and also the screen is too big, but I haven't actually seen the phones in store yet.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Windroid-user:
I understand this rom is purely about debloating but he really should've added this minor but extremely useful detail. A flashlight toggle, at least as an optional mod.

Speaking about mods could anyone get them to work? I tried the camera one and nothing changed, I'm on devbase 4.6 though but it should still work.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Chem23:
Hi,

Tried 5.8 and 5.9 but phone keeps rebooting. About 5 times updating android apps on first boot. Then when trying to set it up, reboots after entering wifi password, then again and again through the settings.

No idea what i'm doing wrong!

Please help!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Windroid-user:
Did you flash bootloader and modem for the version you are flashing?

For example 4.6 which I'm using is based off of DQL2 bootloader which I flashed beforehand
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dacorsa:
random reboot is emmc problem...change motherboard or phone or better change brand
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Chem23:
I was worried it was that but I've just reflashed stock MM (non-custom) and it's running fine again. I'm just getting these reboots with the two custom roms i've tried and i can't fathom why
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Windroid-user:
So if he can't boot this rom it's instantly the emmc problem:confused::confused:

We don't if even know what rom he came from and if that was running fine, you can't just automatically say "oh, u got dat infamous emmc problem... Sorry have a nice day"

Troubleshooting is the first steps, you have to eliminate the other possibilities before arriving at the last destination where there is nowhere else to go. That's when it's safe to assume what no one wants to hear.

Unlike my d*ickhead brother who got a ds4 charger I bought which uses the bottom port of the controller, it only took a few weeks for it to "not work properly" and he instantly blames it on the charger and/or controller. Doesn't even think about the wire connecting to the charger which falls out even from the slightest touch. Thing is, he still does not know it is the cable which is the problem, I tested it myself with a cable lying next to the frcking charger and it works perfectly. He is a lazy m*therf*ucker who is acting like a spoiled kid. Copying these youtubers with their temper and anger.

Don't be like him
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Chem23:
OK i'd better give you more info!!

Phone was not previously rooted. I was on N910FXXS1DQA1 which i'm back on now with no reboots or odd behaviour.

I rooted with cf-airotoot via odin before installing latest twrp 3.3.1-0 and doing a full reset and cache/dalvik wipe

Firstly i tried installing ALEXNDR devbase 5.9 but i was getting reboots while android apps were updating then throughout the setup process. I tried installing the recommended bootloader (BL_N910FXXS1COK2) and modem (CP_N910FXXS1COK1) but problem persisted. I tried devbase 5.8 but again no difference.

I tried another rom after this (all in one norma) but again got reboots during the setup so i'm back on working N910FXXS1DQA1/

Hope that gives enough info to be able to pinpoint the problem :)

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Chem23:
Sorry, i somehow didn't notice you'd posted this! Thank you :)

No, i didn't flash the correct bootloader but I've just downloaded the one based on 5.9 (DRF1).

Am I right in saying the modem and kernel i need to use are thes one that matches the baseband currently on my phone? If so, it's N910FXXS1DQA1. Not sure whether that means my modem is ok as it is or i need to flash CP_N910FXXS1DQA1.tar.md5 for modem and KERNEL_N910FXXS1DQA1.tar.md5 for kernel.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Windroid-user:
Also flash magisk for root it's the successor to supersu and better since you can use banking apps etc if you hide magisk and don't trip safetynet.

Edit: quoted wrong post give me a second to take a look.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Chem23:
Thank you. I've already rooted with cf-auto root. Are you saying i should now flash magisk and even though i've already tripped knox, i can still use banking apps by hiding magisk? (Please excuse my ignorance on the subject!!) If so, any words of caution to help avoid tripping safetynet?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Windroid-user:
Yes, but don't do that now. I really recommend you to read the thread an instructions.

Anyway... I was going to find the files manually for you but OP has been kind enough to post with his updated rom 5.9.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Windroid-user:
After you flash bootloader and modem in Odin then flash the rom and magisk found in the magisk thread, the latest stable version is 19.3
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Windroid-user:
Also do you want something like this?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Chem23:
Thank you so much!! I will have a good read of the instructions.

Yes, that does look nice and clean and a look that i'd like on the phone.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Windroid-user:
Just flash them in twrp.

If you want to look at some others here is the thread: https://xdaforums.com/note-4/themes-apps/theme-customize-galaxy-note-4-n910f-t3017621/page204

I recommend viewing it on a pc because of the way the images are displayed, you'll see what I mean if you compare it to mobile browser.

Remember, only the marshmallow ones are compatible.

Never mind just go to the website two of the three files are too big for xda (can't exceed 20mb) wasted like 8 minutes lol
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Chem23:
Superb! I've now got the rom running without issues!!

Thanks so much for all your kind help :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Windroid-user:
No problem, that's what we're here for:)

Did you also flash magisk? Or do you not need it?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Chem23:
I was already rooted from before with cf-auto root but i did flash magisk as you advised.

Did the safetynet check and got the two ticks :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Windroid-user:
Also if you use banking apps and others that don't work when you have root you can use magisk hide.

Look at my list of the apps I've hidden. Google play services is hidden for google pay to work.

(Check next page)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Windroid-user:
Ummm forgot to attach the screenshot?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Chem23:
Good stuff, thanks. Didn't know there was a tesco pay too. May look into that!!

Revolut seemed to work without hiding but i hid it anyway. I don't use banking apps other than that but i'll need to hide root for vm tv which i'll do/

:)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Windroid-user:
Hahaha, you get more points for using tesco pay, but I believe it's only one point though and you need an Internet connection whereas google pay doesn't and obviously a banking card+club card does not either.

Better to be safe than sorry...

Also here's a magisk module you should flash:

Youtube vanced

You can watch videos without ads and with the screen off, there is more customisations including dark theme (before google had the option to do so).

Remember, just like xposed (if you have used it before, I haven't really) not every module is compatible with your phone. Right now, every phone with magisk installed will see the same modules you see in the same order (depending if it is ordered by name or latest update).

You can download and install modules from the downloads section by swiping right.

Enjoy

Oh also how is battery life for you? Obviously you haven't used this rom much but what about with your previous rom experience, which I assume is stock?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Windroid-user:
Last question, does it have call recording button when you call someone?

I'm planning on updating (I'm on devbase 4.6) so that hopefully the camera mod works and I swear I remember having that call recording button whilst I'm calling someone?

Also I have this internet problem where apps and everything seems to think I'm offline, hard to say if it's rom related or not too long to explain.

I appreciate the feedback
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Chem23:
Battery life i can't really say just yet as i've been installing apps and had it on and off charge. I'll get a feel for it and know within a few days of my normal use.

I've flashed the camera mod but not run the battery down to low enough where it's a problem but i'll do that and let you know.

There is a call recording button, yes and just tested it. It saves the recording in voice recorder.

No internet problems like that; it's behaving normally.

:)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Windroid-user:
Thanks man I really appreciate it
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Chem23:
No worries. You've helped me out a lot so the least i can do!!

Let me know if there's anything else i can check for you :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Windroid-user:
Ik it's too early for battery life that's why I also said before you installed this rom since im pretty sure you didn't get this phone yesterday:laugh:
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Chem23:
Oh sorry, it appear i can't read :D

Not sure I can quantify it with SOT as i don't use the phone for extended periods with screen on when not plugged in apart from google maps in the car sometimes which will drain a battery very quickly anyway, but i don't think it drains unreasonably fast. Not sure that's terribly helpful :D
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] bluefender:
so this is a lolipop rom ? does it have any new security features updates, excuse my ignorance
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Windroid-user:
No its not, maybe previous versions were.

Camera works below 5% now. Useful for extended batteries, although I can't open the gallery from camera app, not a big deal (it did work when battery was +5%).
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Chem23:
Just tested at below 5% battery and the camera mod works perfectly. Camera app opens, allows me to take pics and uploads them to google photos.

:)

*edit* just noticed above post :D Same thing - pressing the gallery thumbnail does nothing under 5%
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Windroid-user:
Very interesting...

---------- Post added at 08:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

I can't help but say how I love the look of the phone especially the display and the slight curve at the end of the display. It truly is a beast.

Btw keyboard has been improved since 4.6 for example I can hold and release the letter "a" to get "@".

I guess it's just the display that blows me away. Actually the buttons as well, they work like brand new with their feeling and clicking sound when pressed.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] bluefender:
thanks for reply, antoehr question if you dont mind, i have sm-n910f btu 6.0.1 n910fxxs1dqa1,kernel 3.10.40-10100220

build-mmb29m,n910fxxu1dr12, should i update modem bootloader etc, or just leav as is.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Windroid-user:
Dr12?

You already have the recommended modem dqa1 and kernel does not matter because it comes with rom like every other rom. Not sure why he still recommends the same modem whilst there are later versions but he is the developer and understands code so I guess there is a benefit to having this specific modem version rather than the newer ones?

Take a screenshot and post it makes life easier
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Windroid-user:
Wow I did not know 5.9 would be so much better than 4.6. This dev really pays attention to detail. I really did not think there would be much to customise since his focus was to keep it a stock experience which already has many features related to s pen and things but now instead of the useless time I get from when I boot up the phone and get a missed text message I now get the time the message was sent even if my phone was off! Whereas before it was about when I received it and could physically read it (if that makes sense).

Great rom man
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Windroid-user:
How is your mobile signal? Because for me it is trash when I'm in a slightly weak place so currently I'm on holiday away from my pc and I'm going to try and flash latest modem CP_N910FXXU1DRF1 rather than DQA1 which I have now because OP recommends this version even though it is not the latest. It may be because the device is old but I'm sure it is the modem version otherwise we would have complaints from other users.

I'll be using flashfire which I hope will work lol. Have used it on a verizon galaxy s4.

I appreciate your feedback and it would be great if you could mention what modem version you are using.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] bonzeno85:
Sorry if it's already been asked but can someone replace magisk wit supersu or any system root root they prefer? I assume yes but just making sure... thanks

PS. Rom looks amazing... thank you so much
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Asellus:
See first post.

You can add "noroot" to the zip filename. Then the system is installed w/o root. Right after the zip install e.g. magisk.zip.

You can do this in one step in TWRP by installing multiple zips

Deodexed or not?

Is this rom deodexed and zipaligned or is it plain vanilla stock with just a few mods? I have installed it and it works perfectly. I could not find any .odex files so I assume it is deodexed but I would like confirmation please. Is it zipaligned also and will it zipalign automatically any new apps installed subsequently. Is this facility included?

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] v1rtu4l:
alright thanks man, so if i flash BOC rom over my current bootlooping setting everything should boot as normal, right ?

i was unsure if i needed to flash the new bootloader first, because in the other thread people complained about not being able to flash the rom
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] robocik:
as i said before, if you just flashed firmware and the rom is somthing else, big risk for bootloop.

so if you flashed BOC3 firmware, just flash the rom and you are good. always follow instructions, read faq and you will be good.
