Battery life is better than Touchwiz 5.0 Lollipop, but not quite on a level with Touchwiz 4.4.4 yet.

Google Play Services 7.0 was the main cause of battery drain for me, but I was still getting about 16-17 hours between charges with about 3 hours screen time.

Google have released the much more battery-efficient Google Play Services 7.3, and I'm getting about 22-23 hours and about 3.5-4 hours screen time. I also highly recommend using Greenify to stop background apps running unnecessarily.

Now that the camera is fixed, this ROM is pretty much perfect IMHO.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] 3473:
Does this work on CM12 also? Or just CM12.1

As I am sticking to CM12 for xposed

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
Haven't even tried CM12, I'm not supporting older CM versions, only the latest.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
check out /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml and search it for 'volume', there are tons of variables to play with, not sure which one to use but if you want you can try it yourself. You can either save it back by putting it into a flashable zip or use in an adb shell

su
mount -o remount,rw /system

After that the ROM is writable. What I usually do is copy the file to the sdcard and then from within a shell it would be:

cp /sdcard/mixer_paths.xml /system/etc/

That way you can mess around with the settings yourself and try to find the correct one to increase volume. Don't forget to reboot to test it !

I seriously never even had sent a MMS in my whole life. Why would anybody in 2015 send a MMS, when we have free, faster, better and more reliable alternatives like whatsapp. Anyway since this is a returning subject, I decided to try it myself. Didnt work. Then I figured, let's try it in Touchwiz ! Didnt work neither ! So maybe my telcom doesnt even support MMS anymore, not sure.

Anyway, I'd suggest to do the same: try it in touchwiz. If it works, copy your MMS APN settings and make sure you've created an APN with EXACTLY the same settings in CM12 and then let me know if that works. Keep in mind that the default APN settings that CM creates most likely arent even correct (they werent in my case for sure), so they'd need changing. Ask your provider for the correct settings.

People here said they got it working in CM so based on that I'd say it's an APN settings issue and that people are relying on the CM APN values instead of using the correct ones for their provider.

Anybody else having problems installing this latest nightly? When trying to flash this one, my 2.8.6.0 version of TWRP just 'reboots' instead of flashing the rom... Tried to download the rom several times and it is 188MB everytime instead of 250MB...
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Racinghart91:
So snap cam gives the same quality or at least good quality as on touch wiz? I found that fv 5 cam Gove worse quality then on touch wiz. I'm asking this becouse I love cyanogenmod but need a good camera becouse I am going to be a dad in 2 months :) and i will probably make lots of pictures then

Hee guys,

I had some trouble connecting too my car by bluetooth.. In thw beginning it worked fine, but after a couple of weeks it stopped connecting properly.. Like there is a firewall holding the connection back..

I saw somebody else with the same problem a while ago, and was wondering if all bluetooth connection issues are resolved..?

I love the speed and battery of this rom and am hoping to stick with cm.. Running this now 3 weeks without updating hehe such a great rom..

Thnx guys! En bedankt gekkehenkie!
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
I don't think there would be any difference. We use exactly the same HAL (well almost, patched a few things but nothing that possibly could make a difference in quality). And if you then use the exact same app, then I don't think you would see any difference. At least I dont see how that could be.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] lgumo01:
On TW rom mms works and on the CM on the exactly the same settings they aren't.

Edit : it works, but not with stock sms/mms app i use google meesenger and it is ok. Sorry for confusion.

Hello, anyone can tell me that this camera with this ROM? The picture quality is comparable to that of the ROM Stock? Because the functions of the S-Pen give me the same.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
Ok then that's very odd. Anyway I dont think there's much I can do about it, I can't even send a MMS with touchwiz myself, not sure why, I think my telco provider might not even support MMS anymore. And honestly, I do this for fun and finding out how to support an obsolete format like MMS isn't exactly on my fun list, so unless somebody else jumps in, I'm afraid it wont be supported.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
Ah, nice ! So for now, if you're an ancient guy and want to send a MMS to another ancient guy: use google messenger ;) hehe ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Barracuda77777:
Hi, I have found the right setting to change, you can find it here on my Git, I have been using it for a while with no issues at all, the setting changes recording volume to match that of touchwiz, I have also raised the speaker volume a little as well to match touchwiz.

Cheers
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
Thanks that's the correct mic setting indeed ;) I tried it with the value you used though, 112, that seems too loud, the volume meter is in the red all the time, going to try a few values ...
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] dlads:
Working for me.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
Ok thanks mate, I ended up with 106 as the volume, seems to work the best here. Already uploaded the patch, it's for slayher to approve & merge now.

*EDIT* [MENTION=5607183]jef_00[/MENTION]: it's approved, will be in next nightly :)

Did you try it ? It's in today's nightly. Let me know what you think about the volume this way. When I talk normal it's about in the middle of the volume bar now and when loud it's getting to the red, so I think this is a good value like this.

Had a lot of issues regarding exchange services stopped working.

Is this due to gapps or settings?

Clean flash, deleted data and cache of email, reflashed rom several times and reflashed different gapps..

But nothing worked.. What was i doing wrong? Im not a newb at flashing.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] kedare:
Is there a known issue about brightness control?

I can't set it from the slider or automatically.

Flashed cm-12.1-20150502-NIGHTLY-trltexx.zip

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] 3473:
Has anyone tried the latest xposed 5.1 nightly?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
If you go to settings/about phone/baseband setting what are the last four letters there ? ANK4 ? Or BOB4 ? I'd say you are on ANK4. If so, you're on a KitKat bootloader which causes those problems. Solution is to flash the original Touchwiz Lollipop image and then install CM (or make a backup of your CM and restore it after you've flashed the original TW Lollipop image)
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] kadadan:
will installing cm12 unlock note 4?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
No it wont change the bootloader at all. If your phone is locked with Touchwiz, it will be locked with CM too.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] kedare:
I have BOC3 as baseband

Could this be the problem?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
Are you on a 910G then maybe ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] kedare:
N910F. I was on Emotion Rom before this flash.

Also it looks like the battery drains fast

Well is looks like it's working fine after a reboot...

So is my Bootloader fine or must I change it?

I suppose the battery drains is due to the fresh install of all the apps and the leak of cache
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
Right, I see that BOC3 is indeed a 910F version. What I'd suggest is to make backup of your CM installation, then download a Touchwiz BOB4 factory image and flash it with Odin and then recover the CM partition. You'll then be on the BOB4 bootloader and your problems should be gone.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] 3473:
Can the new modem by flashed in a standalone zip?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
It's actually not the modem, but the bootloader. I asked about the modem since normally it's the same version as the bootloader (unless someone manually flashed a modem of course). So, can a bootloader be flashed standalone ? Yeah it should be possible. However I've never tried it and I wouldnt like to experiment with it: if you mess up the bootloader you will need to send your device in for repair.

BTW I only would advise to go through all this trouble if you experience some problems, like not being able to adjust the brightness.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] owned139:
Im on ANK4...is this good are bad?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
I think you should be fine, as long as your brightness slider works.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] kedare:
Well it is working fine after a reboot.

But I ha e a weird behavior. When I put my phone to sleep. The screen wake up by itself randomly. Showing a darker version of the lock screen notifications... How to avoid that?

I did some test it is the "ambient display" that cause is to wake up several times during the week first five minutes then sleep.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] SleemLDJ:
Little help guys.

I keep loosing data connection on my phone. Turning data on and off doesn't bring it back, turning airplane mode on and off doesn't even bring it back.

It will just have that esclamation mark (!) Instead of (H+ or 4G) until I reboot the device.

Does anyone else notice this? Is there any work around?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Mussels84:
try updating your modems and bootloader.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] SleemLDJ:
Thanks but, I'm already using a BOC5 bootloader and a BOC4 Modem. Which I believe are the latest for 910F
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] hcdav:
After flashing, I noticed that the colour calibration on this ROM is horrible - whites are slightly brown and colour is not at all like stock ROM.

Is this normal?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] 3473:
Settings/Display/LiveDisplay/Color Calibration

I am using

Red 91%

Green 96%

Blue 100%
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
I think you might have selected "LTE" as preferred network type where your provider is sending out 3G signal (and/or your subscription if for 3g only) ? Try to set it to 3g anyway and see if that helps (settings/mobile network settings /preferred network type)
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] SleemLDJ:
This makes sense. Thanks.

To the FB messenger people: try today's nightly (3/5) and let me know if your FB cam works !

[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] 3473:
It's honestly crystal clear.. I am in shock. Zero reason to use Touchwiz now
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Racinghart91:
*flashing now
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] iRoNX:
Mmh guys, that's no possible.. Camera2 API is not implemented on CM for our device.. We need to wait maintainer to include it.

Wich gapps do I need?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] mike13ftw:
Is there any way to increase the saturation of the colors? Because I am used to the amoled cinema from touchwiz ROMs
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
It's not as simple as that unfortunately. We need a camera HAL that's api2 compatible. So we need Samsung to release it. Without it there's no way we you can get camera2 api working (simply cause the API cant talk to the hardware without a compatible HAL).

So if you want it: contact Samsung and ask for Camera 2 API in their next release ! Contact them via social media like facebook or email or whatever option and bombard them with camera2 API requests for the Note 4 ;)

[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
Which bootloader version are you on ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] andy-w:
Boot loader ends in BOC5

Phone modem ends in BOC4
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
yeah that MIGHT be the problem, not sure. I'm on BOB4. If you feel up to it and really need FB messenger, you could make a backup of your current CM installation, then flash a BOB4 factory image with Odin and then restore the CM installation.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] andy-w:
OK I will try that thanks for all the help
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] :
BTW gekke seeing as the bootloader might be the cause for some issues and crops up every few pages, I think it might be a good idea to add something about BOB4 bootloader to the Q&A section of the OP :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
Yeah. However I'd like somebody to confirm this first (so that the FB cam doesnt work but then got onto BOB4 and then it worked, would like somebody to confirm that). So far it's just a theory ;) But I know it might be the culprit cause I know for a FACT that the bootloader can cause the brightness control not to work.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Batfink33:
I was on the BOC5 Rom, bootloader etc and just flashed the latest CM nightly. The Cam works fine in Facebook and messenger, both front and rear. I just tried it.

Samsung will never release such driver.

We should port it from S6, which carry the same camera.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Mandoza:
So are we talking about cm 12 or 12.1 nightlies, I'd really wanna use cyanogen because it's so much snappier, should I use this or cmremix still don't know maybe you can help me make a design?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
You never know they might release it with their 5.1 update.

porting from S6 is going to be difficult (read: next to impossible), since that's exynos. That would mean reverse engineer the HAL and completely rewrite it in C. That's next to impossible.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Racinghart91:
so i installed CM again, and i have to say there are a lot of improvements since the last time i installed it.

Everything works so far !

i can view video's on web pages (in the past i couldnt go to full screen, now it works)

With Snap-Camera i can live with the quality, its not That bad !

i could even connect to my car this morning and stream musing via bluetooth, this did not work the last time i installed it.

so thanks for all the hard work !

i really think im going to stick with cyanogenmod for now :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] django84:
How to know which bootloader I use ? Before switching with CM, I was on Omega 1.2custom ROM , so on 4.4.x bootloader I think ! but not sure.

Since, I flashed always CM nightlies and all is working fine !

question : Do I have to flash the latest bootloader and re-flash CM ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] owned139:
My phone keeps loading the battery, even if its @ 100% :eek:

With stock my battery lasts for 2 days (while using).

With CM 12.1 (03.05.15) it drains 12% in about 6 hours standby :eek:
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] 3473:
Stock kitkat or lollipop? I could barely get 3 minutes on stock lollipop
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] owned139:

[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Mandoza:
Wich cm is better, this one or the CMRemiX?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
You have a battery drain, see my first post for a link on how to find out what it is.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
I hadnt even seen that thread. I was a bit amazed to not find my name in the credits list, I sent him a PM.

Anyway in general it's all fine when people build their own branch out of CM. But my personal opinion on this is that you'll have all the issue's that are present in the original ROM and then extra issue's due to the stuff added. So if you want stability, I'd always prefer to go for the original. But feel free to try both of course :)

Personally I never understand why people start branches like that though. I mean if you have a real good idea on how to improve the ROM, I'm sure the people at CM will merge it ! That's why I'd wish people wouldnt start branches and just focus on improving the main ROM.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Mandoza:
I would be so happy if I could use order and select tiles,my settings just crashes when I try to add more tiles.

Normally the official cm gets the device very hot, so I really think this one is very stable
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
That's what I mean. If he REALLY did something to lower temperature that worked a real solution, then why not merge it onto the official branch ? People building on CM, build on our work. So why not give something back ?

But I doubt he did something like that. Maybe he lowered therma throttling values a bit, so that the CPU downscales on frequencies at lower temperatures already. That would lower temperature but also decrease performance.

Personally I don't think the temperature is getting higher than on stock. If it is, you most likely have an app playing up (wake locking) or something misconfigured.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Mandoza:
So you recommend this one over the remix one?

---------- Post added at 01:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

You also say that I need to use TWRP, is it OK if I use Philz?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
I don't recommend anything at all, I don't even know what his branch exactly is, it doesnt state that nowhere (at least I didnt see it). But in general, the main branch is always more stable. Cause the bugs present in the main branch are also in the side branch and that branch might add bugs of its own, due to stuff they added. That's why personally I always use main branches of CM (also in the past when I wasnt coding myself).

And yeah I'd use TWRP. That one is definitely compatible, I havent followed Philz, in the past it wasnt with TRLTEXX
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Mandoza:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3056017

There it is if you wanna have a look on it, it got like a few bugs, WiFi Hotspot doesn't work and order and select tiles just crashes etc but it's really fast, he tweaked the animations a little I think
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
Yeah that's exactly my point: with those side branches you'll have the bugs that are present in the main branch + bugs in the side branch. So in terms of stability I'd always go for the main branch. Other than that, let's leave it here, this is not a CM vs Cmremix thread. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Mandoza:
Thank you, I'll try the official

---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------

Just tried the official, I like the way it's stable but I just got 42k in antutu benchmark while I got 53k on the cm remix ROM, and it feels faster, dunno what to take!
