[MENTION=1016651]snovvman[/MENTION]

I think you mentioned being away for business...but if you need anything for assistance, let me know , I will be happy to send you files to get this moving along.

I am on rooted stock KK right now.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] snovvman:
Thanks guys. After seeing that we are dealing with ART, and there are CSC-specific apps (Sprint stuff) that gets flashed during an OTA or stock ROM install, I think I will odin the stock ROM to my phone, root it, then extract the system, boot, etc., to deodex and repackage the ROM. I try that when I get back.

BTW, in case you haven't heard, Xposed now supports ART:

http://www.xda-developers.com/xposed-framework-for-android-lollipop-is-here/

I may release a version that is deodexed and odexed. We all know that odexed ROM performs better and has other benefits. I have always wanted to run deodexed because it gives way to theming. At the same time, I don't really theme anymore...
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] ebe01:
But xposed doesnt work on touchwiz yet
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] ZenInsight:
Well. Let me know. I went back to stock and let it update. No root. So, I have all the stock files if need be.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] joselv456:
Ill be a guinea pig I dont mind messing up or resetting my phone I have everything backed up
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] ZenInsight:
I am fine with odexed. What I would like to see is a Sprint bloatware (leave Samsung stuff) removed, and then all bloatware removed version. Rooted and dejunked. It would be nice to see some custom kernels but it seems clear that the Edge was not really the success that the Note 4 is.

I also bought a GS6 Edge. I wonder if it will also be DOA for Rommers.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] rapdactyl:
I suspect that it won't be. Samsung has said that the S6 Edge's sales have far surpassed expectations - pre-orders alone account for 20 million (!) sales. The Note Edge, on the other hand, has sold ~630,000 units worldwide.

It's definitely disappointing for someone that came from a well-supported Note 2, but I'm actually pretty pleased with the Note Edge overall. It's a great phone and I've found the edge to be super useful. After the success off the S6 edge, I'm hoping we'll see an Edge 2 and hopefully Samsung will back it more prominently than they did this iteration.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
Not to hijack or disrespect anyone but I will hook you all up with my X-Series debloated rom shortly. I don't have the Note Edge but I know I can get a solid base rom for you all.. I don't see anybody else willing to port a good custom/stock rom so I will do what I can. Give me a couple of days.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] rapdactyl:
That is awesome of you, thanks!

test rom

I'm uploading the initial test rom right now. Could one or both of you test it later today when it finishes uploading? The rom will be in my AFH folder here... https://www.androidfilehost.com/user/?w=settings-dev-files&flid=30170

It's an exact port of my Hybrid X-Series rom for the regular Note 4. I'm optimistic that the update binary will work. If it fails to flash then that should be the culprit and I'll need to replace it. The updater script is my work I did it by hand due to Archi-kitchen not generating everything the way it should. I had to manually enter a ton of sym-links, permissions, etc.I did this already for my other roms. The binary is what concerns me because it is stock.but it should work fine. Anyways send me pm and report your results. Thanks.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] ceabbott2:
Will do. Downloading now.

Oopsy it says I don't have permission to access this folder.

I'm in. Which file is it?
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] dinaps86:
I love you, I switched back to my s4 Cuz I can't get v4a audio mod to work with lollipop.....i appreciate your support and I don't mean to sound rude or selfish but is there any way in your rom you can include a permissive su Linux kernel (that's literally the only thing I would want done with the kernel so even if the rest of it is stock I'm fine with that, again thanks for the support and I greatly appreciate ur time, effort, and drive
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] rush242:
Yep, "Access Denied."

Thanks for doing this!
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] rapdactyl:
Gave it a bash, already sent you a message with the specific error. It seems like the updater binary needs to be changed - CWM and TWRP wouldn't flash it and gave basically the same error. Just letting everyone here know.

Thanks again for trying though!
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
I'm heading out of town to take care of some business but i'll be back afterwhile. If one of you has a update-binary from another deodexed lollipop rom built with archi-kitchen it should work. nzip the rom and you will find it in "META-INF\com\google\android" folder. If you need help locating the file and doing it just pm me. Now that you have the full rom zip, I can help you get it to flash so you can test. Once it boots properly and runs as expected I can upload a fixed version.A binary from a working deodedexed Lollipop note edge rom built with archikitchen should work. Pull one from another rom zip and replace it.

This is the actual link to the rom zip https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891580
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] rush242:
Agreed, I don't really fiddle with themes any longer either.

Given that we aren't likely to see many options for this particular gadget, odexed is fine with me.

Thanks again.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] primo523:
I'm tight With one of the best.. Cerj. I will ask him to possibly do some theming
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
Theming Lollipop is much easier than previous versions of Android. A lot of imagrs have been replaced by simple xml & vectors. There are far fewer png's/qmg's used in Lollipop TW.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] primo523:
Guys... I'm failing every time I do a backup with cwm. Fails backing up data. I only have 9.5 gigs available on my SD card. Does the backup use more than 10 gigs?
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] snovvman:
Hey guys, I'm back in town. Unfortunately I was flying back to a serious family illness. I am glad to see that [MENTION=1503720]tx_dbs_tx[/MENTION] has picked it up and made some progress. [MENTION=1503720]tx_dbs_tx[/MENTION] and others, thank you for your offer to help. For now, I will change the OP to point visitors to post #27 as a starting point. Let me know if I can help with anything. Again, thanks everyone!

Edit: Also changed thread title from "ON-HOLD" to "TESTING"
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] snovvman:
Try backing up just the data partition? Do you have more than 10 gigs in /data?
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] primo523:
How do I do just the data? I don't see any advanced options in cwm
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] snovvman:
Unfortunately, I have not used CWM for some time, so I can't tell you if it does. TWRP allows for it.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] primo523:
I tried to Odin TWRP didn't stick.. I'll try again.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] snovvman:
In case you don't know, you won't be able to restore a CWM backup in TWRP. If you get it going, be sure to first make a TWRP backup before wiping. Also, you can select backing up to internal memory or SD card.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] primo523:
Anyone try flashify yet to install recovery?
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] thatruth132:
Can help with the testing and as far as flashing a recovery i had to note edges and one that i had previously rooted on kitkat after i updated manually with odin to lolli it would not root or flash a recovery
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
Use TWRP not CWM.

Interesting. there was no issues odin flashing TWRP on the regular Note 4 after moving to Lollipop. Root first then odin TWRP. Also enable usb debugging in developer settings before you odin. It shouldn't be necessary but i would try this before giving up. You really need TWRP recovery for flashing TW roms etc. Compatibility is better with TWRP. Post again if you get TWRP to flash.

As of right now i have one person who is helping test the rom but has not been able to download it yet. I will add you to the test group if you have the time and means to help test the rom. First you have to be registered on androidfilehost.com. then you must follow me so i can add you to my test group so you can access restricted files. You will need to do this and send me you AFH usernames asap so i can get you added to the test group. The rom will not be made public until it is tested and confirmed to be ready for public use. We don't want people running into problems and be unable to get there phones working incase of problems with the rom or flash process. With few testers i can help them much easier if need be. PM me if you can test. If i add you to the test group you will be able to download the rom. If you're not in the test group you will get "access denied". this is normal so don't freak out thinking you web browser is acting up. I do this for obvious reasons.

here's the link to the newest test ROM
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] rapdactyl:
I'm at work for the next 6 hours or so, but I should be able to test for you after that. And I'll have all day tomorrow. Assuming you still need testers that is? c:
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] primo523:
Can you link me to ur recovery file?
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] ceabbott2:
I use CWM it works for me...I think
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
Just follow me on AFH and send me your afh username. Don't forget you have to be signed in to AFH to download restricted files. You would be the third tester. That should be enough for now.

If you guys can flash the latest TWRP it would be best.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] ceabbott2:
Which TWRP version?
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] primo523:
Yes. A link to TWRP would be perffeccto
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] ceabbott2:
I have a TWRP I can Odin. But I'm not for sure if it's the correct version. These phones are finicky about which recovery that will work with them.

[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
You're right. Make sure it's the right version. I'm not up on the latest info about the Note Edge so i can't say anything about the current status of TWRP with this phone. I just know that TWRP is the recommended recovery for the note 4.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] Fearcher:
I used this one before on KK and have just loaded it 5.0.1 http://www.techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/trltespr

Since it looks like things are moving along I figured I'd better get root and a recovery back.

Hey tx_dbs_tx i followed you i apologize about before i thought i clicked it screennames dinaps86 thanks in advance

Rom testing in progress

Initial report from a tester confirms the rom boots and root works etc. Now that i know my 12 hours of going over everything has paid off, i can start putting together a pure stock base rom. It will be a base rom for future dev rom projects. dev's will have something to work with now. I want to allow the testers a few days to go through the rom and see if they can locate any issues. So this is very good news for you sprint Note Edge ladies & gents! :D
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] thatruth132:
I am still restricted i think
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] dinaps86:
Thanks for your time tx_ maybe ill be able to actually use this device rather than my s4....if u build a thread ill do ny best to answer any noob responses/questions to take that unnecessary burden off your back i know that xda members have become very demanding and almost unbearable with their lack of searching and reading the op (original post aka page 1 lol) thanks again
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
Yes. I have only three persons testing.The rom is not public yet. Once my testers give me the feedback i need and report any issues if there are any, i will fix them and upload it for public use. Give it a couple of days and testing should go pretty quick. I doubt there will be any issues but if there is any i can fix them easily at this point. I will create a new rom thread for the pure stock rom and a seperate thread for my Hybrid X-Series rom.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] rapdactyl:
You are so awesome for putting this together, thank you! Definitely pleased with the results so far.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] primo523:
Ok feeling like a noob.. After flashing a million things on my s4..need help

Everytime I flash TWRP. It passes. Re reboots into download mode. Won't come out of it. Even if I pull the battery and go into recovery.. It boots into download it mode. So I Odin cwm and all is good. Which version of TWRP is everyone using? And which Odin. 3.07?
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] dyra502:
So far everything works still working on getting v4a working . Have to try and see if i can get air gesture back working . Hotspot works great gud job on this one ??
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] rapdactyl:
I've been using 2.8.3.0 on this page.

http://www.techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/trltespr

Just make sure that when you first boot into it, you go into settings and disable the screen off timer and reduce the brightness to 10.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] ceabbott2:
I'm using CWM without issue.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] primo523:
How big are your backups? I fail 20 min on data backup. No idea what's up
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] dinaps86:
We need a permissive kernel =/ like I said I dont even care if it's fully stock with just selinux set to permissive (I mean it would be awesome to get faux sound /or / Boeffla sound incorporated altho I don't know how well it would play nice with v4a) Damm I can't wait to get my edge back running
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
Don't worry about V4A right now. As soon as testing gets a green light i'll add that into the rom. I didn't want to include it untill i knew the rom was 100%. Then i can add mods, etc. I got you covered!
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] dyra502:
Thanks any luck with the air gesture or smart scroll . This roms is good ready to try freedom and lucky out now
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] ceabbott2:
I think they are 8.1gb freaking huge

Oh I'm using CWM 6.0.5.1
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
I'm not sure about the Note Edge but on the regular note 4 most air gestures as well as smart scroll, etc are disabled by sprint/samsung from the factory. So they have to be re-enabled by modifying code. I've done it but it's not something I'm attempting at this point. Need to get the stock base rom 100% first.

Restoring data backups is always risky business. I always flash clean and install everything fresh each time. The chance of having issues from previous backups is very high. It's not that much trouble to just re-install everything after a clean flash. This way you know you're gonna have a clean system with no issues.... piece of mind is priceless.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] dinaps86:
I wish i could really 'get' development and coding, i write everything to remember it i have over 15 notebooks filled from cover to back since 2011 and it just never comes easy to me i just cant 'get' this stuff its frustrating bc i genuinely care about development it is rewarding but nevertheless time consuming we owe u alot tx it doesnt matter if this comes 'easier' for you, some members may feel some way bc they want the rom now raaawwr...lol ur doing it right i commend u
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] snovvman:
[MENTION=1503720]tx_dbs_tx[/MENTION], thanks for taking over the project. It's a good thing because I haven't had the time anyhow. Once the ROM is ready, if you want to keep using this thread, I'll change the subject and put your ROM info on the first post. Just let me know.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
No problem. I'm glad I could help all of you. I'm gonna create a new thread for the stock base roms and i'm not sure what I want to do with my Hybrid X-Series rom that is currently being tested because i can't continue supporting roms for multiple devices. I have my hands full with the regular Note 4. I may just link this rom to my original Hybrid X-Series rom thread instead of making a seperate thread for it here in the Sprint Note Edge forum. As soon as this testing is finished i'll figure out how I wanna do it. my time will be limited as well pretty soon.

---------- Post added at 12:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 AM ----------

I also take notes when i need to. That is a good idea. Learning this stuff is the same as learning anything else. You first have to have a passion for it. Then you have to read and learn from others as much as you can. Eventually you will figure things out on your own with the help of others who have come before us. Don't expect to ever master smali and development as a whole because it would literally take most if not all of your time. Life will always get in the way of that so just learn what you can and know that this is just a hobby. If you have the desire, mental focus and a good understanding of the basics, you will be able to learn more with time... and a lot of it. Basically if you can read and comprehend, you can learn to do anything you want. It's just a matter of dedication and hands-on experience no matter what it is. the last bit of advice is to seek help from those with the knowledge and experience. There's a lot of people here at XDA who are willing to help if you just ask politely. Not everybody but some.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] primo523:
Which version a are you using.?
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] raybudd:
Scroll to bottom of list, dl, and install. In my case I flashed it as I already had CWM recovery installed.

I'm just waiting for more feedback from the testers of the current X-series test rom. I feel confident that the stock OC8 builds will be completely trouble free so i'll get thoe two stock roms done today and uploaded later this evening. I will most likely go ahead and release the stock roms for the public without testing. Devs & chefs get your tools ready so you can create some mods and custom roms soon. Once I upload the stock roms i'm pretty much gonna step back and let you all get your feet wet and start building your own custom themed roms. With a good working stock base rom it should be a lot easier now.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] primo523:
Perfect. That's what I did and that worked. Thanks again.

---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 PM ----------

Just awesome. Thank you so for doing this. I will let my boy cerj see what he can do for us
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] dyra502:
Day two and still no error beside what i cause with running freedom.

Any links on the tools to buildings or kitchen
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
Go check out the XDA university and do some searching. you'll find everything you need. you can also learn from other chefs & developers. The best way to learn is to pick your friends and mentors wisely and just get in there and learn things the hard way by hands on experience. It takes a lot of time and you will never know everything .LOL
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] dyra502:
Thanks going to check it out
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] joselv456:
Ok hopefully I can get some gelp here I did start another thread and did get help but to no avail I am trying to reroot my phone and have followed all the steps to a t and still fails after flashing twrp. Steps taken are boot to bootloader flash autoroot that fails I close odin I pullout battery boot again to bootloader open odin again flash twrp and fails again any help please
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] ceabbott2:
Have you tried CWM? I have used it since the beginning with no problems. Albeit the back ups are huge.

Charles
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] joselv456:
No I'll look into that......... Well I tried that as well and just noticed on phone says secure check fail : recovery I guess next step is trying another PC
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] dyra502:
are you using the right twrp look at the size of the file and make sure it downloaded all the way. If it still fails use CWM
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] dinaps86:
Reboot your PC and make sure to start ODIN u right click run as admin
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] primo523:
Odin cwm. Then once it boots up.. Go into recovery and flash TWRP.. The exact same thing happened to me.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] joselv456:
Ok thanks guys all flashed with new recovery now another problem cant get su to update says that failed as well. Any help much appreciated once again. oh and they way I got it to go finally was to do a factory reset
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] bignibb:
Are you installing SU as an app or are you Odin flashing it?
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] joselv456:
I have done both
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] Fearcher:
Download the SU zip file and run it in your recovery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Povy:
Google decided to change the way Android 5.0 L uses Permissions and Security work I like the enhanced security but one of the downfalls is the inability to write/read to the external SD Card, this may or may not affect you but a few people have confirmed having issues writing/deleting things from external SD Card I like to keep things together & People are too lazy to search so here is how to fix that issue :p

Note: root is required! Can mess up OTA Updates.

Start up your device normally and wait for the system to be fully loaded.

Open any files manager of your choice (Root Explorer, ES File Explorer, Total Commander) and make sure it runs with superuser permissions.

Mount your system partition as R/W (Read/Write) to perform any changes.

Navigate to the /system/etc/permissions/ folder and look for the platform.xml.

Open the platform.xml file with any text editor on your device and search for the following line:

permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">

Now you need to add a 3rd GID (Group ID): <group gid="media_rw" /> and you need to make it looks exactly like on the picture below:

Using Root Explorer or any other Files Manager of your choice make sure that the platform.xml file has proper permissions: Owner R-W | Group R | Others R (0644 rw-r--r--).

Reboot your device and enjoy!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nucleartx:
Or just use this app, root required

Either way never tried the other one. I like to tinker and mess around with android though so the other way suits me better lol :)
