[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] :
Thank you all for the support and prayers. I really appreciate it. We are doing OK on this end so far, just hanging on and taking things day by day. I know things will get better, I just have to keep looking up.:angel:

Unfortunately the only thing I can find to fix this is a factory data reset. From what I see it's a lollipop bug.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] evilkokonut:
Thanks so much for the phone! Just realized you made the ROM lol!

OAF ROM?

I see there is an OAF ROM.....??? Did you recently upload this....FYI Gods speed to you Misterxtx, hope all is well and it will be. A Man of faith in our Lord can make it through anything. Jesus is the way. Anyway, sorry for off topicness, seeing the belief in the Lord always makes me feel bettter.

I will deodex the OAF, it won't take me that long. Let me know if thats cool with you?

Deodexed System Files

Misterxtc, fellow Note 4 owners on Verizon.....

I deodexed system/apps, system/framework, system priv-app

System Deodexed here

Removed_OAF_Apps_Deodexed ---> here

Removed_OAF_Priv_Apps_Deodexed ---> here

If I don't update this tonight, I will tomorrow, I will deoexed the removed app zips in addition...If there are people running this already, I can upload a zip that can deoedex your current OAF set up.

Misterxtc please feel free to just put these in your zip, and deodex is achieved
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] :
If you can get OAF working right deodexed you are more than welcome to post it. Use my ROM if you want. I didn't have much luck with it, just got a bunch of google services force closures and what not. With all these kind comments I kinda regret selling my DE. LOL. Ah well it's a bit late for that, maybe some day retail will get root and I can test on the wife's N4 or I can find a DE for sale again. For now I'll help where I can.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bdorr1105:
I am deodexed right now with help from [MENTION=1111520]balla48801[/MENTION] and joel droids lollipop deodexer. Sure, I will replace those folders with your ROM base and if it Runs without any issues I will post it up or PM you and you can post it. It's your ROM and your thread. Just trying to offer help
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] :
I'll be able to help more next week when my N4 DE gets here. I found a good deal so I bought another. I'll just have to take things day by day and as time permits I'll work on the ROM. It just doesn't make much sense to me on stopping something I enjoy. You are still more than welcome to help improve the ROM if you want, I could use the help. Until then enjoy.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dukins:
So this is good to go for download with no errors?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] evilkokonut:
Haha saw that on swappa. What a steal! Prob not as good condition as your old one though lol.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] :
Most likely not but as long as it's as described I'll be happy. My main concern is scratches on the screen, the rest will be covered by a case. I might not even activate it because I like this S6 so much but then again it gives me something to switch to when my phone fetish kicks in. Or I could use one for each ear...:rolleyes:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] :
Gotta be quick on those, I almost bought it last night but decided to think about it over night.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bdorr1105:
The ROM has not been tested, i uploaded these if Misterxtc wanted to use, he gave me permission to try so I am gonna attempt to boot deodexed and run it for errors and then if all is good I will upload the deodexed ROM zip
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bdorr1105:
Attempting to boot the ROM now that is fully deodexed. I added 5 way reboot just have to confirm it works...IF this ROM actually boots. First Boot will take a minute. Oh and appreciate you removing the ugly Verizon spash Misterxtc. I really hope the ROM boots....I may not have time to finish this today....Hopefully I will be able to update tho. Here is too hoping

---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------

UPDATE***ROM booted successfully but I am getting a lot of errors on boot. There is something wrong with google play services. What probably needs to happen is Install this ROM fully ODEXED as it is. Run the deodexer on it which can be done and I can build the zip to do it. The phone needs to boot ODEX and gapps, play services need to update. So what I might do is flash this ROM, get it running and updated. Run it through the deodexer and then pull those updated apps and install through the zip again and see if I have any luck. It's about the only thing I can think of. But those who want to try this ROM, looks really awesome so far.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bdorr1105:
MisterXTC, have you done any android.policy.jar edits at all?

EDIT* I booted the ROM had no issues at all. I ran the deodexer and then I keep getting the same errors which will not clear out. It has to be a ROM addon causing it. I can dedodex the base and have zero issues running it. Its that gapps force close and another one with core. It should not be tether, flashlight etc.....Maybe Viper4Android is causing it to go nuts when deodexed. Unless some of the apps are already deodexed. Sucks man sorry I am not the best when it comes to deep things like this
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] :
Thanks for trying, that's as far as I got with it too. I did get the FC's to stop by flashing gapps minimal but when I replaced the stock apps with the gapps ones it started FCing again. When I get mine next week I'll see what I can do. Don't feel bad, I stink at trouble shooting too. We all have to learn some way.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bdorr1105:
Did you edit any of those apps or deodex any of the core google apps by chance?

Also how do you do the call recording mod. Which apk. I have an idea

I only deodexed and modded SystemUI, SecSettings and framework-res.apk other than that everything else is stock besides the removed apps.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bdorr1105:
One of the mods has to be causing it, I can and it will take a little bit, deodex everything complete 100% stock and then boot off of it. Then I guess maybe modding from there would work
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] stueycaster:
I have a question about Deodexing. The biggest change in Lollipop is the ART rather than Dalvik thing. The way I understand it ART is a new way of odexing that speeds up the phone and maximizes battery life. How much of a hit is performance going to take with the Deodexing? I love the speed and battery life I'm getting with stock Lollipop. The only changes I've made are I've frozen the obviously stupid apps that come with it and I run Greenify. The thing is I'd love to get rid of the white backgrounds, orange headers and change the status bar. That requires Deodexing. But I'll put up with the overly bright ugliness of Lollipop for the sake of the performance I'm getting. I'll just wait for some form of theming to come along.

The thing is I'm wondering if Deodexing the ART thing would be a pretty substantial performance hit.

Update: I found some info that said ART can be run in Kitkat and deodexed with no performance hit. I'm still looking for info on deodexing LP. Maybe I'll just wait for you guys to answer. I'm getting a headache.

Language and Install

Sorry, but what are the languages ​​of the system? I'm atra something in Portuguese .

Another question: how do I install this rom , since the original rom does not allow root to install the TWRP application.

But once I'm sorry if you have made ​​my question in the wrong place .

Anybody else having issues with the Visual Voicemail with this ROM?

I flashed the file given in the first post in TWRP when I flashed this ROM, but whenever I try to open voicemail, I either get force closes or blinking white screens. Just weird! I've tried flashing it again, wiping cache, clearing data....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] :
If you are trying to flash this on the lollipop ROM that's your problem. As far as I know it works fine on kitkat.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JKforUA:
Well, I feel stupid, sigh. Even though I thought I'd double checked EVERYthing to make sure I didn't get anything mixed up (i.e. trying my best to AVOID doing something like this), I somehow missed the "DO NOT flash these on Lollipop". I never wanted to be one of THOSE guys, jeez... Sorry for not comprehending directions!!!

On a related note, the 3minit addon works fine, it appears lol.

Sorry again...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] :
Hah that's OK. I've done it more than I would like to admit. For lollipop download the removed apps under the current mods and removed apps pull down and copy the whole VVM folder to the system/app folder and reboot. I'll put a flashable zip together for it after I get my dev-ed in the mail.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] :
I haven't noticed any difference in the performance from odex to deodex. As for themeing..... it isn't going to happen by me. It's not my thing at all. It's a total pain.:eek:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JKforUA:
Thanks a lot!! The funny thing is that I thought I was downloading from the "removed apps" section.

In my defense, I have been on a lot of Benadryl the past day or two :) Thanks again, and hopefully I will never ever post something stupid again!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jbombs16:
I have done this but get force closes when using the vvm. After I get through the initial setup, it immediately crashes and will then crash anytime I try to open the app.

Any suggestions?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
Make a backup, give it a try and see if it works.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] :
Did you delete the ones that were flashed before? Other than that it should work fine. I'll try this tomorrow after I get mine.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JKforUA:
Yeah, I tried that (pushing the VisualVoicemail folder into the /system/app/ directory and restarting) and I don't get anything. It isn't showing up in my apps, no notification that I even have a voicemail (I had a friend call and leave one to test it). Maybe I am missing a step somewhere.

But I was having the same problem (immediately force closed anytime I opened it) when I flashed the VisualVoicemail add-on that was for the KitKat build (not reading for comprehension that it wasn't to be flashed on Lollipop).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bdorr1105:
The visual voicemail apk should go in system/priv-app permissions rw-r-r or if you understand linux 644

its the VZWAPNService.apk, just rename it to VZWAPNService.apk.bak and it will no longer be an issue. Should no longer be an issue anyway

Holy Crap I went through the painstaking process of going all the wya back to fresh odex, deodexed everything and I STILL KEEP GETTING FORCE CLOSES on gapps. It's really pissing me off lol I think all the core apps need to be upgraded first...all of them then deodexed. Thats the only hang up i See

I might have to restore my nand back up and copy all of my updated deodexed gaps and then push them in the zip and try to boot with those
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] :
I tried that already and it did the same thing. I haven't had a chance to try anything else because I just got my phone today.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bdorr1105:
Do you have a Untouched un-modded flashable zip that includes the patched kernel, but everything else untouched that I can use.....Then I can place all the deodexed framework and apps and see if it boots that way. Then we should be able to narrow it down, for the time being it would be fully deodexed, 3minit Battery with version 3.0 and 5 way reboot. Nothing spectacular, but from there you can pinpoint it
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] :
I'll have to put it together and upload it. I have all the files ready.

To fix the google apps fc just delete gcore.apk from /system/priv_app/gcore/ and add the newest google play 7.3.29 to the system/priv_app/. That fixed it in my rom. I had another issue with your rom though when i deodexed it. I kept getting some kind of google.process.acore fc I never could get fixed.

Issues with tethering

I'm still on v1.2 kitkat. I came from Definitive after having SystemUI crashes. Everything is running very smooth, however I cannot get tethering to work. I have manually done all the edits to double check to make sure they are indeed done (data/data/com.android.providers/settings.db -global) I can connect to the hotspot and it will tell me "limited connection". Using Wanam tethering provisioning grants me the same results. I have briefly had success using a vpn but it does't last. I've tried 3rd party wifi tether apps, still no go. I always get a 'dns_probe' error in my browser. Does anyone else have this problem? I'm racking my brain why it won't works seeing how it worked flawlessly on Definitive. Is there a system app that needs to be frozen? Something tells me it has to do with apns however, I have not modified mine.

I use easytether as well however windows 10 builds are not currently compatible with application :/

Thanks

Someone had the same problem and fixed it but I can't find the info. From my lame memory I believe it was a network setting.

Netflix's is not working

The Netflix APK will not run on your OAF Rom. If I flash the update from Kit Kat to Lollipop using ODIN before rooting and flashing TWRP it works and keeps on working after that. Thank You for all you do.:)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JDevil:
Thank you, I will keep trying and report back. I was going to flash the zip file in the definitive rom thread however the framework-res varies in size between roms.

I have issues watching Netflix on kitkat. I seem to remember a while ago Netflix was on a list of applications that would not work if you had root. I have an older version installed which allows me to login but hangs on watching videos. Newest version just hangs from boot of app.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JKforUA:
I've used Netflix for well over a year and I've always had root. It doesn't work now for whatever reason (can't connect to network or whatever the error message is), but I can't remember exactly when it stopped working. I can't remember if it worked once I updated to lollipop or when I installed this ROM. It's weird, for sure.

I feel horrible for clogging this thread with non-ROM messages. Sorry about that :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] stueycaster:
The one under "Installation instructions - update" in this OP. Then be sure and get the "Brightness Fix" kernel. The kernel might be why Netflix works for me. My battery life is awesome.

Did you wipe everything including internal storage? I do that every time I flash something.

I just went back to KK then followed the process to get to Lollipop (the one you linked) and Netflix still gives me the same error, sigh. I haven't even flashed this ROM yet, so it obviously isn't a ROM issue. Oh well.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] stueycaster:
In the OP where you got the LP rom a factory reset in Settings is suggested. In the OP of this rom the installation instructions say you should wipe cache, dalvik, data and system and advises against dirty flashing. You need to at least do the factory reset. Then if that doesn't fix it wipe everything else. Then flash in Odin. Then, of course, you'll have to re-do recovery and root after.

I think you're trying to carry stuff from KK into LP and it's messing things up.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JKforUA:
I'm not trying to dirty flash. I've done the factory reset, wiped everything, etc. Clearly, I'm missing one aspect of the process, but I won't take up more space on this ROM thread. Thanks, though, for all of the help trouble shooting!!

Update:

After going through the entire process 3 or 4 times today, Netflix works now on this ROM. Absolutely no clue what I did differently, but thankfully it works now :)

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JKforUA:
My guess was that I flashed incorrect things? Like the wrong kernel? That would be weird, though, since I at least thought I was triple checking everything on each step. Craziness, but at least I have it now. I made a backup as soon as I saw that it worked so I could just use that the next time something strange happens :)

But, in my trigger-happy frustration, I accidentally deleted everything on my external SD card, sigh. So frustrating...

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
That's great! I saw this post of yours earlier. I'm correct that we can flash the firmware at that post to use this rom?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] :
Yes, but I need to make a firmware zip. This will do for now to get up to PJ2. Just make a backup and flash it with Odin without a factory reset and then wipe everything before you install the ROM. I'm out of time tonight to do any more. Oh and I removed all Verizon apps so VVM isn't there untill I can make a zip for that. Probably tomorrow morning sometime.
