Ok, I tried it by myself to update to COH4, having a full twrp backup of my previous Alexandr POF2 System, and I am going to answer my own questions. Except one question.

First of all I want to thank Alexandr to share this ROM (COH4) and zancum for his Kernel. :good:

As I mentioned I wanted to update my POF2-Rom to this COH4 Rom and I was not sure beacuse of the provided kernel (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62726561&postcount=816 and http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62750839&postcount=842)

This COH4-Based ROM for 910F has a modified Kernel from 910P from zamcum. And it seems to work well since I have installed it two days ago.

I did what SXG75 recommended to "dirty flash" on POF2:

- restart phone into recovery, flashed "uninstall-xposed-zip", wiped cache

- restart phone into downloadmode,

- flashed Bootloader & Modem via Odin ----> NO auto-restart,

- when Odin was finished I restarted phone manually and went directly into recovery,

- flashed alex'deodex-rom-zip, xPosed-zip mentioned few posts back here,...all in a row.... then cleared cache one last time.

- everything went well and almost eerything seems to wrok fine.

My question about Privat Mode was not answered, so I tried to enable it :

("Privacy Mode - do I have to delete the Files [MENTION=1296593]zamcum[/MENTION] has mentioned obove? Or is it already "fixed" in your deodexed Version?)

and it did not work :mad:

So I did what Zancum wrote (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62647509&postcount=675) but his provided File is not avaiable anymore :(

I read his recommended article on http://www.mobilecentre.pl/how-to-fix-private-mode-in-samsung-galaxy/

and did

1. Run Wanam Xposed and activate option Security hacks>Disable secure storage

2. Reboot device

3. files manager -> navigate to folder /data; remove all below items:

/data/data/com.samsung.android.personalpage.service (folder)

/data/privatemode (folder)

/data/system/secure_storage/com.samsung.android.personalpage.service (folder)

/data/users/privatemode_edk_1000 (file)

4. rebooted device

Unfortunately I did not find the last mentioned file ( /data/users/privatemode_edk_1000 (file))

->Question: why don't I have this file? :confused:

But... Privacy Mode seems to work now. :good: But when I deactivate the seeting obove in wanam expoed Privacy Mode does not work. So I have enabled again the option.

Hope I could help some users here....:cowboy:

It means that the application is factory preinstalled.

If you uninstall updates it will revert to factory version. You can then disable it to remove it from active applications.

To uninstall it you need something like Titanium Backup or Root Uninstaller.

Try Multi Window Commander on Play store. It will only MW certain apps for me but others on 5.1.1 say it works well.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] _alexndr:
I'm sorry for short-lasting silence, I was on next small vacation in high mountains (without my laptop, of course) ;)

Yes, this is exactly what it means as there is no original, preinstalled version(s) :) note also that "Uninstall updates" option will change to "Uninstall (app)" if you perform additional reboot

I haven't tried modded private mode as it wasn't a good solution for me.

When I realized that PM doesn't work - I realized also that I have too many important data in previous "private" content to perform wipe data

The only option was "Unroot" option from SuperSU and then flash the stock kernel to obtain access again to my previous PM content. Afterwards I realized that it is an interesting solution - to use DevBase with my favorite MODs, just unrooted to make all Samsung's features working, running original N910F kernel with the highest changelist :D

If I need root access for some reason (e.g. to perform some next changes in /system) - I flash temporary zamcum's + SuperSU_2.49_beta in TWRP. After all I unroot the phone and flash the stock kernel :cool:

I do not use any kitchen to make my DevBase(s). I mean not as the main tool (of course, it is convenient to unpack stock images and to check symlinks). There is no kitchen (AFAIK) which is able to generate SELinux contexts and permissions entries directly from stock system image(s). All kitchens (AFAIK) are using static "set_metadata" entries collected by devs/chiefs - unfortunately these entries need to be updated (not only added but often changed!) every Android version, separately for almost all devices

I'm doing most of my work manually for ALL my devices (see hidden contents below):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2649176

That's why my very arduous work is unique (I hope ;) ) as there is no better mapped custom ROM (comparing to original stock).

Try as I mentioned above (unroot, then flash stock kernel from my repository). No problem there with my Smart TV :) (BTW, I do not use Xposed)

Flashed 5.1.1., Emotion Kernel, xposed. Let it settle couple days and everything works awesome, but the battery. I get maximum 4 hours OST, on 5.0.1. i had like 6 or even more. Brightnes on auto -5, no OC, almost no modifications, social media, music, data/wifi, just my normal usage.

And yes i did complete wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik) and flashed base and radio.

Anyone facing this wors battery life?

[MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION], would it be possible to get a flashable SystemUi file?

Or is this script okay ?

I'd like to have this file as a backup for any reason.

So i dont need everytime to restore my nandroid , when I try a theme for example. (eg emotion blue_theme for systemui)

Thx :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ext2:
That is my solution too for now, plus doing a lot of delete/copy/paste in TWRP file manager. As anyone knows an aroma file manager version that works well with TWRP and Note 4?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] vsa:
I did the same thing ;) It was great to be completely offline for a week :)

Yes.. unfortunately it seems to be the only option. But I can confirm that the mod works (deleting those files zancum has mentioned). I can use the private mode.

Same thing here. But I love Xposed (expeacially because of Xprivacy and Greenify), so I use Chromcast instead. It's a good alternative.

Sure, the original kernel which is rooted would be perfect... but... :-/ hopefully some day.... :)

Dear all,

I upgraded from NK4 to this last alexndr ROM COH4. Everything is working. I did a nandroid backup of NK4 in TWRP, then I dirty flashed alexndrs ROM, then the new bootloader and modem. Everything is working (at least, I think everything...I did not use all until now).

My question: If I want to go back to the NK4... ist it sufficient to restore the backup I did in TWRP before? or will I have problems because of the new bootloader and modem/radio?

Thanks a lot in advance

I can't install the rom.

Ι boot in TWRP, start install the .zip file ( I do not get any options to choose, I just run the .zip file and it seems to install), installation seems to finish successfully, but then I get a bootloop on samsung logo. Any ideas? Do I need an updated version of TWRP, another kernel or something?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] loekis:
I guess you didn't flash the bootloader/modem.... have a look in OP under Iinstallation, might be the trick....
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Melissakis:
No, I haven't, I'll try that now. Is kernel also necessary? How can I install a kernel via Odin, which button do I have to press? My version of odin does not have a kernel button, only BL,AP,CP,CSC and a greyed out UMS. Thanks!

Update; Flashed both modem and BL and nothing changed. Something that I noticed is that the installation last for less than 20 seconds, that's the fastest rom installation I've ever seen!

Hello alex and thank you for your work.

I downloaded the deodex version of the COH4 and works just fine.

Also I flashed two of your mods, however I don't know how to make this Disabled SMS / MMS log history in call logs option worked.

I flashed the Modified Messages mod and I can see that the rests of the mod "features" are working right, but the "Disabled SMS / MMS log history in call logs" don't.

Is there any extra action that I must do in order for it to worked?

Hello,

This rom is blazing fast with very good battery.

I just point a problem I have with Google Photos

I save my pictures to my extSDcard and why I attempt to delete pictures in Photos it says it doesn't have the permissions to write/delete from the extSDcard.. I must use the default gallery to delete, which is quite annoying.

Is there a way around to make it work?

Are you used before one of the s6 or note5 rom ports?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Melissakis:
No, I came from stock. Since it's working well for you, then I'll have to do another clean install.

And one more question, I don't know if it's related. I installed the off screen memo (ported from Note 5) and it's not working for me. I uninstalled it, but could it be related to the problems I've got with Screen Write?

This isn't [MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION] 's fault, its Samsung's fault. They invest so freaking much money on developing better phones and they cant make even smooth rom..

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] _alexndr:
No problem here. Note that this MOD causes that new SMS / MMS history will not appear, but it does not remove existing logs

I'm extremely busy recently, but will try to release new DevBase this weekend :)

BTW. It is very sad that N910F kernel's sources are still not available, so higher kernel's changelist does not matter as we HAVE TO use custom kernel (based on obsolete sources) to obtain root access

...so in the COI3 DevBase will be option to choose custom kernel (e.g. zamcum's kernel) or stock kernel with higher changelist (without root but with all other MODs available in #1)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] SavanTorian:

Both kernels do not solve the problem with obsolete / buggy sources which have been used to build the kernel, so if you install it on COI3 DevBase - you will not experience any advantages / bug fixes that are included already in original COI3 stock kernel... Maybe the only Stagefright fix as it is not related to the kernel, probably nothing more...

You should've updated modem and bootloader to COI3 first. Do a fresh install of a stock lollipop rom, flash the COI3 modem and bootloader, flash a custom recovery and after that flash alexndr's ROM.

Just extract the 'options.prop' file from the odexed zip to your sd, as described in the 1st post. And edit to enable root.

The rom will read that from your sd when installing, so no need to place or back in the zip.

Both stock and rooted are in the same zip.

By default unrooted is installed, editing the options.prop you can enable root. The rom will automatically flash Philz kernel instead.
