Hey Mega,

Which versions of root explorer and sqlite editor do you recommend so that I can achieve the grid _ui modifications and other modifications listed in op2? The paid (pro?) Versions or regular versions?

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jcotterman:
Older version

I too must use Good (<<<<<Oxymoron) for work. However, you can still use an older version that does not have the advanced Root check. Good has the download available on their forums from back in January when the version changed. The APK I have is v2.7.1.390 and it works fine. I can email it if you are unable to find it on their site. PM me if needed.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] phonehead6720:
Really it will work on a rooted lollipop rom and without xposed? I thought you needed a root cloak or something? Are you running this version on poprocks? Dude if this is true it's awesome, only thing keeping me from rooting these days. I'll def pm you my email, appreciate it buddy.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea you have to have the pro paid versions

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea stock kernel

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
FireKat is 4x5...yea prolly v2 or v3

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Thee_illuminati:
Soooooooo.....I had to re odin haha. I was messing with alpha versions of xposed and well....it's not ready yet.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Ilkinansr92:
Hey man so I'm gonna switch to poprocks the firmware I need to flash is cod6 from your OP and which is the auto root your talking about? Chainfire?

Hoping for Verizon Dev Ed V5X soon!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Dmkarkutt:
Geez, I pass out early one night and I miss all the Mega Magic happening!!! Well installing the new build now, excited to see after yesterdays base ran so well. Mega am I understanding that Wanam is working for adding pics again and disabling DVFS? Also in PR will that be a good thing to do disabling DVFS?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] boostnek9:
ODIN flashed stock.. but for some reason it bootlooped..

I put TWRP .Tar in ODIN and flashed my custom recovery, flashed stock kernel from there... It really does sound weird which is why I'm still confused how the stock ODIN flash gave me bootloops... There is a slight possibility that it's device related.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Kilroy672:
Downloading now, with 10 mim left. Much faster download this time than the other times. I will flash this later today. Good job Mega.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Thee_illuminati:
Downloaded quick for me.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Gjohnson7771:
Mega,

Sorry to keep beating a dead horse, but last week when I decided to reflash V4 to get a better baseline on battery performance. I Odin flashed COD6, got all the right pass/boot results. It didn't bootloop, but on first startup all my apps and setting where intact. No factory reset. I had to reboot into Twrp, clean wipe everything and Odin flash COD6 again.

Currently the only time I've had a boot loop with Odin, has been when I have tried to downgrade to Akn4.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Karakoram2:
I don't know how you do it Mega. There aren't words.

5x on deck
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Karakoram2:
Just wow.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
Ok I hope you are just mixing up wording/versions because I'm fairly certain you are using W8 Canadian variant right? Because those bases are for Tmobile variant and will always cause problems... Or are you using Tmobile phone but in Canada?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jxlee0215:
I'm on v4. Do I flash v5 over it or do I have to Odin stock first?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] martinomac:
Just clean installed Can v5x and all went well with installation. However, I keep getting this Samsung Link Platform FC when trying to change my wallpaper and it won't let me. Any thoughts? I've removed my Samsung account and froze DB.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sefrcoko:
Disable it, or re-enable the Galaxy Store and update the app to fix FCs.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nique0201:
Do we have to Odin new base first or can we just clean install 5x over 4?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Gjohnson7771:
I am using T-mobile and am in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Coverage is fairly good here, until you get to my neighborhood.

I've only gone to Canada once and that about 18 years ago.:)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] martinomac:
Thanks, tried all that but no go :(
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
Yeah that is very typical.. I keep (and use my Samsung account) but always freeze the two link platforms/services.. Those are for linking to devices.. Useless for me..
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sefrcoko:
Strange, that always works for me.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
Yeah.. Change csc is necessary but XML is easier.. Many on Rogers who didn't want to wait the two weeks for LP flashed others and then changed csc afterwards (which is one of the few cases btw that wipe the internal storage too)..

If I flash the new base before the others come out I guess I'll take care of the XML in the process.. Doing it that way doesn't wipe the internal correct?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] steve97ta:
If you both are already on the new FW just do a clean flash of v5
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Product F(RED):
Guys, take it from me. Clean flash. Everybody here knows what I'm talking about. And if you're having heat issues, ODIN. That's what saved me.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea dude after odin all apps and stuff are still intact. ..did you simply check about phone to make sure you didn't simply not know what was supposed to happen...Odin doesn't wipe data so yes all apps will remain...

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No it won't wipe anything just odin flashing the new base

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Product F(RED):
+1 I learned that a while back. ODIN doesn't wipe /data/. I think that's by design in case you're ODINing the phone try and salvage some data.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nique0201:
So for clarification if I'm on COD6 do I have to Odin to the new base before flashing 5x?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No you only flash the new base if you own a Candian note 4 like the op says

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nique0201:
Ok
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] martinomac:
yeah, I'm bummed out cause I love Mega's roms. Had to go restore other can variant.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yup you simply uncheck link with gallery in gallery settings...or freeze link...Same fix as always if that pops up...enjoy

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
With the XML file edit that is what you are referring to? Because the "service menu" method of changing csc DOES WIPE EVERYTHING after reboot (internal storage too).. I've tested it :)

---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------

Oh and you asked for updated Xposed mods last week.. I gave a few.. Both working and not.. No response nor edit in OP either.. Just curious if u need more info or whatnot?

I have confirmed on 3 separate devices now (and from absolute fresh odin/wipe/pr install then to exposed framework install and one mod g no other apps or updates) that XPrivacy WILL always soft brick the phone.. All W8 tests so far but a friend if mine will test on his Tmobile soon too.

Still no clue who informed of working status in OP but it's an issue here (and a couple others)

Just today I tested Max Lock and it activated and rebooted no prob but after configuring it and rebooting it soft bricked (and by soft bricked I mean stuck on Samsung screen forever).

I tested many others that are good to go (and mentioned some the other day) but I'll do another list again.

I'm testing quite a few.. Many seem go to go..
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea doing a full csc system conversion then yes...I was just saying to try pulling the xml files cuz the rest of the base should be identical but for 1 or 2 xml...as long as you get working the method is less important as a wipe is needed anyway

I believe junky added all the x series xposed mods...it was a while back

OK cool when you edit the new list I'll update it later on

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] martinomac:
Thanks, freezing Samsung Link Platform and unlinking worked. Just wondering why this is needed since Samsung Apps are removed from the build. Perhaps, it would makes sense to clean unneeded apps like platform as well in future builds. Running smooth so far, thanks again!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Unneeded to you maybe lol...I use samsung apps all the time...why because the link app is a standalone regardless what you do with Galaxy apps it's still gonna try to link if it's set to sync...and many people use link as well lol

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Michael in ATL:
Mega - while I've been rooting since I got my Verizon Thunderbolt, I'm still essentially a n00b (and an old one at that) on these matters. I don't have anything to add here except my sincere thanks for all that you do. In my time in the Android world, I've never encountered a developer who seems so genuinely kind and patient with his users. Civility seems to go right out the window when many of us are online, and I've had my moments too. Through it all, you remain cheerful and helpful, and I wanted to recognize this fact. You are indeed, da man.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TheSleezkIng:
Fresh installed this morning, charged the phone so far battery life feels way better, but once I leave here and I'm really messing with the phone that'll be the real test s ok mce I'll be on Twitter n Bluetooth and all that other crap..ain't adding no mods till I get home don't wanna risk anything while I'm out lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] loonie01:
Anyway to remove S Finder / Quick Connect? Thanks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MajorTom_:
I think there's an option for that using wanam xposed.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KayvinM:
Hey guys, for those of you who want to keep Samsung Link you can try and replace the apk file with the one attached.

Place it in the system/priv-app/Samsung link platform folder and set permission to rw-r-r.

I have tested it and this version does not FC for some reason.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] steve97ta:
Battery had seem to improve for day 1 I've been gaming the past 2 hrs and my screen on is 2hrs 11 mins I'm at 50%
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JDane07:
Excited to get V5 booted up! Thanks Mega!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Dmkarkutt:
I concur totally with this!!!! Thanks Mega for everything. Fyi V5x is nothing short of pure Mega Magic
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gun26:
I agree that this doesn't sound logical but more than once upon flashing factory firmware (I misspoke in my previous post calling it a ROM) in Odin I've gotten a bootloop that was only cured by a factory reset in recovery. So I've learned to do a full wipe first before using Odin, because I can't trust Odin to do it like I thought it was supposed to. I'm only relating my own direct experience, and I can't claim to understand Samsung's partition scheme well enough to know why this happens - my Note 4 is my first non-Nexus phone in 4 years.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I wanted to have the time to properly reply back man...thanks alot I really appreciate it...I know exactly what you're talking about man...I hate that attitude...the us and them...the way I figure it we were all newbs at one point in time myself included....I'm just happy to see the congregation of so many awesome like minded people like yourself and many others makes it super fun for me as well ...def much appreciated and it's totally my pleasure man thanks again

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Bubs and I just got home from her dr appt...had her yearly checkup...got blood drawn and a couple injections...she's healthy as an ox thankfully lol...

look how overly worried she was lmao

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gun26:
I assure you that the boot loops that happen to me are the real thing - blue and red oval around the Samsung logo accompanied by that tinkly startup sound, followed by the bootloader screen saying "Samsung Galaxy Note 4" then just the white "Samsung with blue dots animated around it for several minutes (I've never timed it but I'm guessing about 5 minutes or so), then it goes back to the blue and red oval and tinkling sound. That's a for-real bootloop, but it's easily fixable with that factory reset I mentioned. The slow boot after flashing ROMs like yours from recovery is something else entirely: a long time is spent at that "Samsung" logo with the blue dots, but the boot eventually completes. I've learned to be patient and to give it maybe 10 extra minutes after the light blue language selection setup screen appears. And let me assure you that I'm very careful about flashing the right firmware for my SM-N910W8, so that's not the explanation.

The factory reset to cure this isn't my own idea - I Googled for an answer after the first time it happened to me and had no trouble finding the answer. So this is a real thing, even if it hasn't happened to you. Count yourself lucky :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lucky? Lol no man...it's not a matter of luck it's simply having everything properly configured and using the proper odin build, files, and drivers...a fluke may be one thing but every time is your method or tools

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Def a smart move lol...wait until your back in the fortress of solitude before attempting any mods...esp xposed/wanam until they're nailed down...etech mentioned a few considered working having issues ect def beat be home with your tools around

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I'll add this to the op2 as a sort of bypass work around mod if you wanna add it?

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] orangepanda:
JimSorry if this has been covered but I noticed the quick connect/s finder mod is gone from the op. Where can I find the zips?

Edit: nvm!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] unit_three:
Can you expand on what the camera and audio "refinements" are? In general I'm OK with the stock audio and picture quality, so this is my only worry about flashing this ROM. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Sure....I rebuilt the camera to take photos like this lol...for more examples look thru the thread people have posted probably 200 photos

And audio quality was rebuilt and optimized the same way

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol no worries you find what you're looking for?

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KayvinM:
Sure, sounds good :D

I forgot to add not to update the app from the app store after replacing it since it will FC all over again lol

V5 is running awesome! Thanks for your hard work, truly appreciate it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Awesome man glad it's running well...no worries I'll add that bit to it when I post it

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
So seeing the number of us I'm sure are using wanam lets start a list of Broken or non functional bits... just to warn people from issues... so far only...System Holo Light ...is causing a no boot...if the list is substancial I'll add a list of Broken wanam parts to op2 notes

if this happens try wiping cache and fixing permissions in Twrp to see if that recovers

Mega

Got my clocks greened out again...good to have the old kit back haha
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JDane07:
Hey Mega, wa's rearranging the quick toggles/settings and noticed that the flashlight one is no longer there. Any idea how to get it back?

V5X seems great thus far, loving the preliminary smoothness and audio optimization!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] skyeking69:
Hey Mega...... Just flashed cdn v5x , just want to confirm note4me's dark notification and the new xposed is compatible ?

Also any idea why my playstore apps don't auto re-install anymore ??
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] denson9874:
Delete
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Awesome dude love to hear it thanks for the feedback... If you ever move that toggle it will disappear... you have to move it by doing the mod itself in settings.db... At the bottom of op2 there is a settings db mod for adding toggles torchlight is the one to add

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Are they compatible together? I would think so just add in the dark shade mod first then do xposed like usual...should work fine

Idk I never let google do anything on my device tbh I limit their access and control as much as possible

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JDane07:
Ahhh I see dude, shouldn't have moved it. Lol

I'll check out that mod and get it back.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol no worries I personally leave it there I know guys like to move the spots...to "move" the toggle...just change where you add the torchlight bit in noticiation active panel...wherever you add it...like next to wifi and location it'll pop up in that spot on the panel

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] NearlyInSight:
Just wanted to say that I had no problems installing Xprivacy and that it is running fine on my T-Mobile V4. :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] denson9874:
Mega flashed this V5X beauty and loving the heck out of it. You never cease to amaze, keep it up bro!!!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
Wow.. Ok so that means it cracks on just the W8 Canadian firmware, that is odd but must be the case.. (3 separate fresh W8 phones now)

Of all the Xposed mods I guess there may be a difference on a few between working on the one firmware and not the other
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Thanks alot buddy...loving the feedback stoked you're enjoying the update bro totally my pleasure

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Thanks insight ...for the well...insight haha

Yea once you start talking variable security protocols and slight differences between the bases that's a pretty tricky mix to try an manoeuvre....that's across 2 bases I'm assuming the previous v4 base and new one for v5 right?

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Dmkarkutt:
Anyone able to get s6 weather widget working on this rom? Also does anyone know if note4me messaging theme works on v5x
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] note4me:
Yes the messages mod works fine

---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 PM ----------

The notification mod works fine
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] denson9874:
Bro you should've saw me lol. I was at Ft. Lee, VA for the last 2 months, so whenever I would get to the hotel, Pop Rocks was the first thing I would check for updates. When you dropped V4X, I was downloading for about 8 hrs just so I could flash. Now that I'm back to my 127MB/s it was a breeze getting V5X on this badboy lol. Whenever I don't wanna take any chances and want a for sure winner on speed and battery life, yours is the one I run to, and that's coming from an X-flashaholic haha. From FK to PR, nothing but art coming from you bro. Enough of swelling your head lol, I'm going to stare at my battery life screen and look jaw dropped at the 2 days I have left on this charge [emoji18] [emoji54] [emoji106] [emoji108]
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sapienta:
Came from another ROM. Just flashed v5 and man oh man is this thing purring. I am loving it. Thanks for all your effort and hard work.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
I assume that question is for me? I've only tested on three W8 devices running V4..no v5 on new base testing yet.. But once Odin'd fresh, will do so.

Outside of that big one.. And I guess the Max Lock (which also soft bricked after 2nd reboot and config of mod) the only other two having any issues.. And mainly just not working as stated (but no crashes or bricks) are sequence unlock and lockscreen Clock mod..

Many others are good but will flash v5 soon and test again and send list.. So many are tiny little simple mods but I guess hood to know either way.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] NearlyInSight:
I am sorry Mega, was the question for me? I am on V4. Haven't tried V5 but will 1st chance I get.

I have to tell you though. V4 is running flawlessly. I am getting just over 2% per hour battery drain. Very happy with that considering I don't throttle anything. I use my phone just like I want. Fairly heavy use.

Your philosophy of creating works of art that stay close to stock allows me to run any mod I want without problems. I have xposed, status bar mods, and a dark theme. No force closes. No lags. No complaints. Only gratitude.

So anyway, just wanted to say THANKS! :):):):)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol dude that's hilarious...something to do when you're stuck in the hotel lol...i def appreciate the awesome support and feedback man [emoji106]

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Fantastic welcome to the thread and rom...glad you're enjoying it...def check out op2 there's a bunch of kit in there to mess with and kit out your setup...enjoy

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Actually this is perfect because your both on v4...so that def shows there a discrepancy with the mod itself...ill make a note of that in op2

lol thanks insight totally my pleasure bro....no need to rush into updating if your setup is running good...v5 ain't going anywhere lol no worries

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Updated op2 preliminarily....probably more updates to the xposed and wanam lists will be added later on tonight...here's where we stand right now

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
Just to briefly get back on the temps thing.. Mega, I too traditionally have gone by battery temps..

After a short while on this N4 now and looking at cpu temps, i can see the mass confusion!

My cpu is mostly 35-40c (95-104f) doing nothing and feels super cool.. Battery is typically 25-30c (77-86f)

My cpu gets crazy fluctuations and will go to 50-65c (122-149f) for spikes but never really lasts and ultimately (the most important) my phones basically never gets hot to the touch and rarely even warm.. And battery always low.. Only during long drawn high end processing (twrp install, high end game or video software, etc) will I actually feel a change in the phone.

So if I were to go by cpu numbers alone it would be very misleading... So ultimately, go by *battery* temps and *feel* of the phone.. Cuz if you worry too much about cpu temp numbers you will drive yourself crazy

Ps.. I also think that sometimes there is confusion on the cross mixing of Celsius and Fahrenheit in here due to Canadian and U.S. standards..
