TWRP

I have a question about TWRP for the Note 4.

In the first post of this thread, [MENTION=3296134]gekkehenkie11[/MENTION] advises that we flash TWRP from http://www.techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/trltexx. The latest version listed there is 2.8.5.0, and I notice that each file name starts with "openrecovery" - I'm not sure what that means.

But at the official TWRP website - https://dl.twrp.me/treltexx/ - there are more recent versions available. The latest one there is 2.8.6.1. However I tried flashing that one via recovery (zip file) and also with Odin (tar file), and it didn't work at all.

Is there any reason that I can't flash the latest TWRP from the official website, even though it's specifically designed for the N910F treltexx?

And is there any reason that the "openrecovery" versions only go to 2.8.5.0? Also what does openrecovery refer to anyway? What's the difference between them?

Phone shutting down spontaneously

Hi [MENTION=3296134]gekkehenkie11[/MENTION], thanks for all the work you're doing on this great rom! I've been experiencing some really weird behaviour on my Note 4 (N910F) and hope you might be able to give me some help.

I bought my Note 4 a couple of weeks ago from a reputable phone store online - it was used, "returned to store" by previous owner, but in perfect condition. It was running stock TouchWiz with ANK4 (KitKat), and was also rooted - I guess the previous owner did that. Not knowing any better, I used Odin to flash Philz Touch recovery, then flashed CM12.1 and gapps from the recovery, without first updating to a Lollipop bootloader/modem.

After starting CM, I found that the phone would frequently shut itself down without warning - just as if I were pulling the battery - just a total and instant shutdown with no warning or error message on the screen. Then I'd turn the phone back on again and boot into CM, and after anywhere from 1-10 minutes, the same thing would happen - it would instantly turn itself off again.

After reading this thread I realised I should have updated the bootloader/modem first to a Lollipop version. So I downloaded my region's version of BOB4 from sammobile.com and flashed with Odin. After I booted into TW I found the phone very stable - no shutdowns at all, even after many hours.

Then I flashed Philz Touch once more with Odin, then flashed CM12.1 and gapps from the recovery (and yes, with a full factory reset and wiping Dalvik cache). But again the phone would instantly turn itself off a few minutes after loading CM (or sometimes after a few seconds). And this is before I've added any apps - just with a clean install of CM. I also do not have my sim card in the phone at all. So only WiFi, no mobile data (although it still shuts down this way if I do put my sim in the phone).

What I have tried so far:

* TWRP 2.8.5.0 instead of Philz Touch;

* BOC3 boodloader/modem instead of BOB4;

* Different gapps source (always v5.1 gapps though).

So far none of the above have helped - the phone always shuts down spontaneously still, after several minutes.

The only thing I've found that seems to prevent it shutting down, is putting the phone into airplane mode! Then it will stay on for hours without shutting down. (My sim card is not in the phone when I do this anyway).

Any ideas about this? Or tips on what I can do to further troubleshoot it? One thought I have, is that maybe there's something physically wrong with the hardware and I should return the phone to the store. But as I mentioned, when it's running the stock Samsung rom it's perfectly stable, which would imply the hardware is fine?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Ce:
It could be was lucky but I didn't go back to stock first. I was on stock 5.0.1. Flashed bob4 bootloader using Odin. Phone in bootloop, back to downloadmode. Flashed modem using Odin. Phone in bootloop, back to downloadmode. Rooted my device and flash TWRP. In TWRP wiped everything and flashed CM 12.1. Phone rebooted and everything runs fine. But again...perhaps it was pure luck and "you shouldn't try this at home" :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
No. Just flash the bootloader in Odin and the modem in Odin and you should be good.

Is there any mod to increase speaker volume which I can flash - I am on CM12 - 910F. The speaker volume on YouTube and other stuff has fairly dropped a lot since I flashed this. Please advise if any patch there. TIA.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
Is there a relationship to the phone shutting down and high temperatures maybe ? Put on a CPU temp overlay and keep an eye on it. Normally the Note 4 should be able to deal easily with temps up to 80 degrees C but maybe some phones have problems with it. That might explain why you don't have problems with TW (which throttles the CPU above 60 degrees).
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
Yes, search thread.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] sharingspider:
Got it - Thanks !!
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] StuttgartKiwi:
Are you referring to the Viper4Android app? I just searched through this thread and couldn't find any patch. Care to share the info? :)

---------- Post added at 07:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 AM ----------

I'm fairly certain it's not the temp - when the phone has shut down before, it's never felt hot or even warm to touch (and I know how a phone feels when the CPU is maxed out and it's overheating!). Also the phone has, in the past, often shut down within seconds of booting into CM and the home screen. Furthermore, I don't have any apps installed at all apart from the few stock ones included in the rom and gapps itself.

Right now the CPU temp is sitting at 35°C. The phone hasn't been shutting down so quickly since yesterday but it still shuts down after a little bit, eg. if I leave it with the screen off for 10-20 mins or so, it will almost certainly shut itself down during that time.

At one point last week I did have all my apps installed (restored from Titanium Backup) and my sim card in the phone, and I observed that the phone would often shut down almost straight after the mobile radio would connect to 3G. But now I don't have my sim in there at all, and no other apps.

Any other ideas? Any way to log what's going on in this situation?

update supersu
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
If you're on BOB4 modem and bootloader, maybe try it without your sdcard. If it's still shutting down, I'd say your hardware is defect, cant think of anything else. But then it should happen in TW too. If not, man dunno ...
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
Ok made some progress with intellithermal from Faux :) That damn app still crashes when I have it set thermal settings at boot. However when I manually switch it on, it now seems to work correctly ! It actualy works quite nice, limits CPU freqs in steps, the hotter the device gets, the lower the frequency.

Not sure yet on how to proceed though, I could also write something myself. It's actually quite easy, all we need is a service that reads out the temp and then limits the CPU. In fact it could even be done in kernel. I'll do some more research and tests this week and make a decision on what thermal throttling concept we'll use.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Adam86:
I'm noticing when recording video (doesn't matter in which camera) the sound is very quiet, even if i put the volume on full its only just hearable. All other video eg YouTube sounds fine, just anything recorded from the camera. Any ideas?

EDIT: I've just restored my stock ROM via TWRP and tested recording on the camera and the sound is as I would expect it to be, nice and clear and loud. Can this be looked into by any chance?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
Ok guys, for anyone who wants to try the temperature throttle, here a quick test version:

1) Flash this boot image with the app "Flashify": https://mega.co.nz/#!uNI0QDzA!E6r3d-ZzkZ47ikGS4bdd4cDdNW2MprJYhXUn2aJssPA

2) If you have my mdnie tuner installed, uninstall it. Then install this new version v1.2: https://mega.co.nz/#!KYYRXQLK!cDG0bqiV-Ok7BJ8a91AzkjcdhQIu9oKNnV_A5u_fJ2U

Then, make sure you do something in the app, like flip HBM on/off, so that it ask for root permission and then have it save the root permission ! Then simply reboot and you should be fine !

Use an app like "Trepn" to monitor the CPU usage and for example combine that with a temp overlay app like "CPU temp" (select temp overlay) and heat up your device by doing something CPU intensive and you should see that above the 60C, the speed is throttled. The higher it gets the more it throttles.

Feedback please on how this works for you guys, seems to work quite fine here :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] StuttgartKiwi:
Hi gekkehenkie11, just curious about why this is needed? Is there a known problem on the Note 4 with overheating? What would happen if the phone overheated and the CPU was not throttled down?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
It's not "NEEDED" at all. It works perfectly fine without it. However Touchwiz does some CPU throttling itself and that results in a less hot device. People complained about the device getting hot on CM12 and it's true because it doesnt feature that CPU throttling.

I'm thinking about making it as an option in my MDNIE tuner, so that people themselves can select if they want CPU throttling or full speed (and a hotter device)
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] StuttgartKiwi:
Okay gotcha. Having it as an option sounds best to me. :)

Couple minor comments/questions for you:

* I just noticed that in the first post, you've written "MDSNI tuner" next to the link - I guess it should be MDNIE, right?! ;) The filename itself also says mdsni rather than mdnie.

* How about renaming the HBM buttons to "High Brightness Mode" so it's more obvious what HBM stands for? Or maybe a short explanatory footnote at the bottom of the screen? I had no idea when I just ran your app for the first time and had to hunt through the thread to find the answer. ;)

* Would you consider publishing the MDNIE app to the Play Store, so that it's really easy for us to get any updates you release for it? Otherwise we have to keep coming back here and searching through this thread to see if there is any new version. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
Thanks, corrected it :)

Yes might do that

Yes, I'll have it in the play store at some point I think.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
So nobody tried the throttle version ? I'm actually quite happy with how it works, I was just driving with "Here" as navigation app, the temperature would rise over 80 C normally, now it kept cool around 55-60 C :) Will need to test some more though how all this affects the battery but it should improve things quite a bit, of course depending on what you do.

Currently also the Samsung thermal Daemon keeps running, I think it would be better to shut that down completely, will also see how that affects things
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] sharingspider:
Do this - Using Root Explorer or any other browser:

Go to: system/etc/mixer_paths.xml

Open with text editor

Change values:

RX1 Digital Volume - RX7 Digital Volume from 84 to 97

&

DEC1 Volume - DEC10 Volume from 84 to 97.

Save and exit then reboot
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Mathiasja:
I've tried it for a couple of hours now. I think the temperature seems to be a lot more stable now. The temperature is stable around 50-55 C most of the time while browsing and doing other things.. Whenever I start doing heavier stuff the temperature increases up to about 75 C, but it cools down again much faster than before. What I'm experiencing is a bit of stuttering at times when the temperature is decreasing. I guess that is a side effect of the throttling?

Anyways, awesome work!
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
When the temp has reached 75C, then the CPU will be heavily throttled so performance will of course also be drastically limited, hence stuttering can occur.

If you have the app Faux Control you can tweak the thermal settings (like the temp when it should start to throttle and how many of the cpu's it should throttle). Just dont restore the settings at boot, the app will crash your phone somehow, not sure why. I might put those settings into a seperate app. But I'm also still considering writing my own CPU throttle code, like said it's quite simple actually, just a matter of reading the temp and writing CPU max limits according to that to the sysfs attribute that the kernel already exposes.

Anyway hoping more people will try it and give me some feedback on how they like it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] pctv007:
Installed the hrotled version yesterday in the evening. Phone's temp keeps low til now. Lost 1% battery through the night. For me it's definitely a BIG improvement. Will see battery life through a day of use ;)

Thank a lot!!

Been using the GPS for over an hour; never lost signal and temp stayed around 60°c. Lost 12% battery, but screen was always on. Think your rom is PERFECT ;)

THANX again
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] dr.madmax:
Hi gekkehenkie11,

a lot of thanks for your hard work!

Next Friday, i will drive more than 1100 km with Navigation. When i used navigon in the past, the tempreture was permanantly at 80 °C. I think about 12 hours with this high tempreture, it will kill the device.

Now this is the solution for me!

I will test it and give you a feedback at the weekend.

Thank You!!!

HI!

I make a clean installation this morning but when i receive a call the phone ring and i have a notification in my statusbar, but no window open. When i pulldown the statusbar, the caller pic is open for a minimum of time. go big and smal and big and small. No chance to get the call.

I flashed the boot.img and install mdnie app. that works fine.

Any idea?

How do you check which modem you on? I'm about to flash bob4 modem. Do I need to be on a TW ROM before I flash the mod or do I simply boot into download mode and flash with kies
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
Several ways. You could just update to another nightly. You could use restore in TWRP from a recent nightly and select ONLY the boot. Or you could simply remove the app and install the old version. Any way will work.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
Settings/about phone/baseband. No you can simply flash with odin, no need to flash TW rom first.

[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
Yes. Until I merge it any kind of fix or test needs to be flashed every time after installing a new nightly (so both the boot.img and the gps fix too if you're using that).
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] :
unfortunately I got a boot loop after flashing it - not sure if it was because i'm in cm remix or bc of the vision kernel - hopefully we'll get to a point where it's optimized and merged so all of cm based roms users can enjoy it :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
It's for CM12.1 only.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] :
I know, that's why I said I acknowledge it and wait till it's merged. every CM based rom is building on top of the CM branch and then adds it's own
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] StuttgartKiwi:
Just realised that I experience the same thing on my phone: when someone calls me I get the notification, which switches between a large and a small notification back and forth and is very difficult to tap on (also slows the phone down a lot). Furthermore, no dialler window appears on the screen at all, as it used to with previous versions. Only the notification is there.

Is this a CM thing?

Did you install the GPS fix ? Remember that you need to flash it every time after installing another nightly. I'm working to have it merged.

[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Mathiasja:
So, I updated to the latest nightly (0623), I've updated the bootloader and modem to BOB4, and I installed the boot image with the CPU throttle. I even put in a brand new battery that I received in the mail today.

I've been using phone now for about a day now with all these changes, and I'm extremely satisfied with the results. My phone used to get pretty hot on occasions, but now the CPU doesn't seem to exceed 45°C. It's been steady between 40-45°C all day (I don't play games, but I do watch videos and play music). WiFi, BT and NFC enabled all the time. Also the battery doesn't seem to wanna die. It's really awesome. I guess a warm phone would mean a slower phone that drains more battery, so keeping the CPU temperature down would affect battery life positively.

Loving everything that's being done to this ROM. Came back to it after a few months and its so much more usable! Great job and a big thank you to all the devs involved!

A strange thing happened to me a few days ago. My Google calendars stopped syncing randomly. Emails and everything are working absolutely fine but the calendars aren't. In fact, even my outlook calendar isn't showing up in the calendar app. I checked the settings and it shows a sync error message. Have tried everything short of a complete factory reset and full clean install (I did do a full clean install when I moved over from TW and all calendars were working fine for the first few days). I'm on the 0623 nightly (been updating regularly, hoping the sync issues will get fixed with the updates - obviously didn't). I want to try every single option there is before having to factory reset...

Second issue I've been having with the ROM - the camera. When I was using this ROM around a month or so back, I used Open Camera. A crap app but the only one that kind of worked. But been having quite a few issues this time around. "Cannot connect to camera" being one of the biggest issue. Camera and Cinema FV-5 are unusebale on my end. Has anyone had any luck with those Apps? 4k recording almost always requires a device restart as soon as recording starts (on any app).

Really hoping CM incorporates the Camera2 API for the full camera manual control soon!
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] gekkehenkie11:
I don't think that's ROM related

Did you use Google camera before that ? That's the only app that I know of that has problems with this ROM. Sometimes when it closes, it doesnt close correctly, hence the 'cant connect to camera' error. It's adviced NOT to use that app at all. All other apps should be fine. I just tried both open camera and FV-5, started and stopped recording 20 times in each app, no problems here.

That's up to Samsung. They need to release a Camera2 API compatible HAL. Let's hope they release it with 5.1 next month.
