A small OT for Note 4 users, but maybe somebody here would be interested in :cool:

DevBase for Note 8 (N950F/DS):

>> [TEST][ROM][N950F/DS][ALEXNDR] * U3BRA8 * DevBase v4.6 * Encryption support <<

I suppose many people here have changed their phone to Note 8 and left old Note 4 for child/wife/mother/etc... :D

EDIT: Don't worry, N910F will be supported as long as Samsung releases FWs :cool:

I will try this thx very much ,but what is the latest security patch?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] _alexndr:
Same here :(

Unfortunately, I noticed that it is common Magisk's v16.0 issue @ most older, snapdragon devices (like N9005, G900F, N910F)

The only way at the moment is uninstall v16.0 (including Magisk Manager), return to v15.3 and then disable Magisk updates

No, AFH is just really moody. You could try a different launcher but I usually just keep refreshing the page and eventually it works.

[MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION] what do you mean by 'diferent launcher' ? I've tried on Windows, android, diferent web browsers and internet providers, always break the download. Could someone put it on some other hosting?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] kevintm78:
Oh sorry, I misspoke. I meant browser but it sounds as though you've already tried that. When you hit the download button does it say "no mirrors available" or are they starting and just not finishing? The no mirrors available error is the one I get most but usually a few refreshes does the trick, if the download is failing midway through it may be your internet connection. If you've already tried a different network I'm out of ideas.

I do know that AFH hasn't been the same since their big update several months ago. The problem could very will be on their side.

Can't get fast charging on DevBase 4.6. (N910F) with DQL2 bootloader and DQL1 baseband as per PhoneInfo app.

I've had serious battery issues with Dev Base 4.6 since I downloaded and dirty flashed it coming from Dev Base 4.3.

The phone wouldn't charge most of the time and when it runs out and I try charging it with the phone turned off, it would go into download mode automatically.

I put it down to the 2+ year old battery and ordered a brand new genuine Samsung battery (so I believe).

I've been using the battery for 3 weeks but starting to see the same problems again.

Phone not charging (at all)

When I restart it power off and start it often boots directly into download mode.

I have to pull out the battery and boot into recovery & reboot to system.

Even when it starts up ,I can never get fast charging working.

The charger is original Samsung adaptive fast charger and it's working as I tried it on another handset which supports fast charging and verifies it is getting fat charged with this charger.

Also, the battery drain on v4.6 is higher than v4.3 as well.

Any advice anyone....

I'm wondering whether to start with a clean installation of v4.6 (only if it is working perfectly for others) or go with a fresh installation of v4.3 instead (which worked well for a good while before the update to v4.6)

I would use titanium backup and restore to restore the apps and data post a fresh installation.

All ears for helpful advice from all members.

Just that it is likely to take 4-5 hours to properly backup, fresh install and then restore apps to the current state and I'm really stuck for time so want to do it just once.

Excuse the long post.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] haybill:
I have installed v4.6 DQL2 Base on 2 SM N910F devices--I use the Magisk version, and Magisk Busybox and Magisk Greenify Modules--no big problems with battery usage--I did make clean install on both [even though I was coming from Alexandr"s last Dev Base] and I flashed Titanium Backup App Only Restore Zip.

Hope this helps.

hi I'm on dql2, there is an extra volume option during calls which is useful for me, but should hit it's icon for every call to active it,

is it possible to turn it on forever?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] u81:
Hi, can you please confirm if

1-the screen reads "Fast Charging" on DevBase4.6

2- you reboot the phone while the mains charger is plugged in, if the phone boots to download mode automatically. I seem to have this issue as well.

I've just finished doing a fresh install, i.e. wiped Dalvik, data, system, internal SD card and it just shows "Charging" using the original fast charger and original Samsung cable.

I want to check if my phone is really fast charging.

Thanking you in anticipation of your prompt response.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] haybill:
Not sure I fully understand your question- are you referring to the section on Settings/Battery/Fast Cable Charging?

If so, in my case this is enabled, but if I check it while charging it shows as 'Not Highlighted' but it does appear to be operating correctly, once I remove the cable the option is still enabled.

As I say, not sure I fully understand the question, sorry if this is not what you refer to.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] u81:
No, what I was asking is whether it reads "Fast Charging" on the lockscreen when using fast charging as it used to before all the time.

However, since my original post, the fast charging seems to be working properly with the text in lockscreen reading " Fast Charging" instead of just " Charging".

Thanks for your response and the tip to install the Magisk Greenify module which I didn't know of.

Hope this will bring an end to the fast drain.

Failing this, I'll just have to get a new phone. Even my mid ranger Moto G5S plus works a lot faster with a the battery (smaller) lasts a lot longer owing to the stock ROM.

I don't want to go with Lineage as I feel the real Star feature of this phone is its camera which doesn't work as well on Lineage from what I read. I don't want to get into instability issues and random reboots so I'm putting up with the slowness of the stock base and Kernel but this really is my last shot. Don't want to turn sync off, WiFi of etc as I think they are the features that make the smartphone smart, without them I don't see much use to the advanced phone.I have installed Greenify, Magisk Greenify and enabled hibernation for all non critical apps, installed better battery stats, done a clean install having wiped three internal memory of the phone as well.

It's a real pity that such capable hardware might end up getting abandoned despite so much time and effort gone into it from so many dedicated Devs.

Spent 5+ hours to get the phone setup properly with all apps and data restored.

Fingers crossed now...

No, you get it wrong :) If you would like to stay with your current CSC - do not bother about options.prop - just dirty flash the rom "as it is".

Your action is required if you would like to change CSC to an other, listed in post #1. Note that it would be also possible without placing your custom options.prop - you can also rename ZIP file at the beginning of name, according to description in post #1

temperature question

Dear Community,

I use N7-port roms since the first ports. So I can't remember how stock was. My problem with the port roms is the temperature... I get around 50 degree by celsius cpu temperature when doing nearly nothing, like chat via massangers, or browsing pictures or through the home screens... When I download some larger files (300-500MB) over Wi-Fi it goes up to 90 degree (N910F)......... Now I wanted to test stock again, even if the torch toggle is missing in quick settings. Will flash it immediately when I will have a little time.

Now the question: How hot your phones are getting by using them with ALEXNDR DevBase v5.8 Rom?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Raven_999:
CPU temperature depends on the kernel, governor, load, battery temperature, background processes, ambient air, using it during fast charge, etc.

I'm using this ROM now and it's getting around 40 degrees Celsius on idle and scrolling through UI, 45-50 degrees on browsing and about 60 degrees on full load, all these at around 30 degrees Celsius ambient temperature.

To get these temperatures I always:

Install Ram kernel to all the ports and stock-based ROMs

Underclock the CPU to 1958 MHz

Use Interactive governor

Undervolt to -110 mV in global offset

Don't use fast charge at all

Greenifying all apps that I don't use at the moment

Disable all built-in apps I will prolly never use for better RAM management

With this setup even when gaming max CPU temp is around 70-75 degrees Celsius and, it never reached 90 degrees.

If you don't need all its power, underclock it, you will get lower temperatures and better battery life.

Cheers
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] megaequs:
Thank you for this advice. Now my idle temperature is 32-35 degree (instead of 45-50), Browsing is now 40-50 degree and teperature by full load is about 60-70 degree. the phone is cold but snappy :good:

I don't play games on my phone. So I don't need the full cpu power, and the battery life is better, too. Even on a N7 port rom I get these temperatures and over 1,5 h of SOT with 78% battery remaining :cool:

Galaxy Note 4 N910T

I decided to try this ROM for nostalgia reasons. It's a little dull for me now, but I decided to see if I could get this ROM working 100% on my "N910T" as my SIM Card was not recognized on this ROM initially.

After going through about "8" DataFix zips on this Forum, I finally found 2 that worked with my "N910T". Only 1 of those works 100%, since the other one turns the phone off when you long press the power button.

I will include the Datafix zip that worked 100% with my "N910T" down below. This one doesn't turn the phone off when you long press the power button.

Cheers!

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Raven_999:
Flash ROM first then kernel, after the kernel desired root solution MUST be flashed as it patches the ramdisk.

Root always must be flashed after changing kernels, that's why your ROM had no root.
