I just upgraded to poprocks v16. It seems to work fine, but I am trying to install adaway v3.0 from the link provided so that facebook will work. After I install it, it just sits there. Does 3.0 not work now?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shaharyaraziz:
Hello Mega, using this Rom as a daily driver and it has been solid, I am cutrently on v15, now I wanted to ask if a clean install is needed for v16 or I can just flash it over V15?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nick2k:
Something went wrong on your end. I installed the new adaway with no problem and Zuckerbook worked again.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jcotterman:
Yup

I am seeing the same HASH. Which means we have both downloaded the file correctly. What it doesn't say, however, is that the file we downloaded war correct to begin with.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] downshift00:
hmm, ive tried it 3 times now. Same thing everytime, after installing adaway, when i try to launch it it just site on the page with the red aday banner on top. I'm following the instruction steps, I don't get it :(

Thanks

from op

"*Grid Ui Settings Mod

Root explorer and Sq lite...

Data/data/com.android.providers.settings

Open Settings.db

Find settings_gridui=0

Change it to =1

You're set...no reboot needed"

I did this, rebooted, and still no torch\flash light :\ any ideas? (really would like it back :( )
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Hangoverr:
yep, the version number changed to 16. enjoy fk goodness :p

.. don't worry about versions in mega's ROMs. They are always an upgrade in performance :)

PM sent
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] npackman:
The only way I was able to get it to work was to edit settings.db as well, but add Torchlight directly.

Look for notification_panel_active_app_list

I also change notification_panel_active_app_list_for reset...

Just put TorchLight in that list of toggles, make sure it's separated with semi-colons. Save and reboot and you should be good.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nine5raptor:
Does it look like this?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nick2k:
I did a clean flash install for Mega's v16 and I used the new AdAway APK that he provided in the original post. I only installed the APK because the custom host file was too good that it was preventing me from trolling on FB. I believe he said you could also just delete the host file and reboot the phone so it will rebuild a fresh & clean one. And if you and ad blocking, install the APK then.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] downshift00:
Nope, everything under the red banner is just black when I try to launch adaway after installing. Oh well. I gave up on it and went to the 5.1.1 rom from the N910T3 phones :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol yes that would be the toggle style settings mod...not flashlight which was just literally just above it in op2 lol

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
You have to set supersu to grant...then root apks work as usual

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Ok cool man

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] downshift00:
arrrggghhh damn, that would do it. Thanks Mega!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] npackman:
Yeah, probably could have just sent them a link to the OP... meme chose.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] masri1987:
Ok i added "TorchLight;" to both reset and notification apps lists, it briefly appeared but when i went to edit toggles it disappeared again (to make it one of the main ones) .

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 PM ----------

should I be adding TorchLight to notification panel active app list for reset too?

I just went back into sqlite editor and noticed that it's still there in the reset one

but it disappeared from notification panel active app list

---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

edit: so i decided to remove ultrapowersaving mode from both places. rebooted.

still no option to use flashlight during the toggle edit screen.

this is driving me insane.

There has to be another way.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JMaxMan:
This PopRocks Rom is very smooth. I really appreciate this type of rom. I rooted over a year ago but the performance left me wondering are you serious. The constant pausing made me disappointed. Thank you
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nick2k:
Big awesome differences I've noticed between v5 & v16: phone runs cool (not hot anymore) and no more music skipping (it did it with or without Bluetooth speakers). I haven't tried connecting the phone to the Gear VR yet. That would be amazing if I could use it without installing a custom kernel.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JMaxMan:
I've noticed something, whatever apps are running in the background. If I reboot those apps will be there after rebooting. Is this a feature that I can turn off/on. Thanks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
No way to disable it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Dharris76:
No disrespect to Mega, but that's a cool keyboard. Mind sharing?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] masri1987:
It's not disrespectful, mega is a down ass vato loco.

Anyway it's swiftkey, and the theme that comes with it is called Carbon.

Free on the playstore
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JMaxMan:
This what I mean. I'm not referring to system type apps that are suppose to be there. I'm talking about apps I had open prior to rebooting.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ryanryan007:
clarification

Hey Megalomanic14, just to clarify the process, ill need to Odin the Stock Rom first, then root and install twrp, wipe everything then install the new rom?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
It's a Lollipop feature. No way to disable it. Learn to love it because it's like that in Marshmallow too.

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

1. Odin back to stock

2. Install TWRP with Odin

3. Boot into TWRP

4. Wipe data/factory rest in TWRP

5. Flash ROM

6. Boot up and enjoy
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JMaxMan:
Thanks for the explanation!!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pcriz:
Didn't you leave out rooting?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
You don't need to root to flash TWRP with Odin. This ROM is prerooted so there's no need to root it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] left2swiss:
I've got a canadian note 4 and would like to flash this rom, i tried looking but couldn't find the link for boe1 anywhere.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] trichrome1:
Sammobile has the firmware downloads. I just downloaded my Rogers one for Canada and Odin'd it. And followed the instructions in the OP.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea sammobile or live samsung updates are my fw go to

Are you using Sammobile, m8? If so, is it done yet? They're connected via tin-can and string in terms of download speeds, even with a membership. :p

base boe1?

Hey, i've installed the stock rom but my baseband is still n910w8VLU1ANJ3

will this rom still work with this base?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
Having a different radio/baseband shouldn't hurt anything.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ryanryan007:
question

Do i just download the latest version (V16), copy it to my device and use TWRP to install the rom?

i've tried that a few times but i kept getting an error that says md5 file is missing
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
Based on your baseband it looks like you're using an N910W8? Make sure you download the correct version for your phone. The install procedure should be:

1. Download file

2. Copy it to your phone

3. Boot into TWRP

4. Make a backup

5. Factory reset

6. Flash ROM

7. Reboot
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ryanryan007:
i downloaded the canadian version. but the instructions says i must be on boe1 base. i wonder if that is the reason why its not wokring? ill try again and verify the error message

---------- Post added at 06:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------

just tried flashing v16 again. it says skipping md5 check - no md5 file found and then i get stuck in a bootloop..any suggestions?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
Which version of Android are you running? 4.4.4 or 5.0.1? Post a screenshot of your "about phone" screen.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
And just wondering if by "bootloop" you mean sitting idle...as the pr 5.0 build takes a while...several minutes to boot as noted in the op

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ryanryan007:
here it is

^^^^^^^^
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ryanryan007:
it started up, id get to the samsung welcome screen and before i get to the second option of inputting my wifi info it shuts down and restarts again and again
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
Looks like you're still running 4.4.4. You need to use Odin to update to 5.0.1 before being able to use this ROM. You can download 5.0.1 here:

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N910W8/
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea your not on lollipop 5.0 so you cannot flash this rom...FireKat is the 4.4.4 build of mine...or follow faces link odin that fw then odin twrp and flash PR

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] butthurtlocker:
hey i have a 910w8, oot loopng on v16 for canadian note 4. using twrp 2.8.70. any ideas why?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] halodos:
Clean flashed, and it has been running well the past few days. Wifi calling is much more stable on this version. I still had to play around with the APN settings, but it only took 5 minutes and native wifi tethering works.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] skyeking69:
assuming you followed the OP instructions.........I use twrp 2.8.1.1 with no problems..... maybe try that...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
Oops wrong quote

---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:25 PM ----------

Which firmware do you have on phone already before you did the pr v16 flash?

And just to be certain, you dl the Can version of pr v16 and not the Tmo right?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] butthurtlocker:
Hey man thanks for the reply. I had the latest 5.1.1 firmware for my carrier (telus). Odin flashed that, then odined Canadian twrp, then yes I downloaded v16 Canadian and flashed as per op
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ryanryan007:
tested again

hey i tried again this morning after flashing 5.0.1 and i still could not get it to work.

i downloaded canadian version - PopRocks Can V15XxXR: http://www.androids-onsteroids.com/untitled-32.html

and tried using twrp but i got the same md5 missing error which then sends me to a bootloop
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] skyeking69:
Dude gotta read the OP prV16 is for 5.0.1 base........not 5.1.1 ....
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
Which version of TWRP are you using?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
It boot looped because this pr is for 5.0.1 firmware

You would have to use Mega's other new pr for the 5.1.1 firmware and that's at v4 I believe

Ps I just came back to this 5.0.1 firmware and this pr v16 as I didn't like some of the qwerks in the new firmware and there are a couple of things still to be fixed/tweaked in the new pr for it too.

Love this pr version and the firmware is good enough. I l ok Ely will stay on this firm/pr until mm6.0 makes it to our N4 in spring
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] butthurtlocker:
OK butI'm still pretty confused as to why i cant flash v16. And where does it saybthat

V4 is the latest 5.1.1 version? I didn't see that sorry, think I'm bit confused. Am i on the correct twrp? Any other 910w8s advice on flashing newest pr?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
It's clearly labeled in the op instructions what base you need to download and run pr 5.0 on...quite simply you cannot flash 5.0 roms on the 5.1 base which is why everyone has been telling you match the base and rom...if you simply follow the op instructions and Odin the proper base your set

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] butthurtlocker:
Ok. Thank you.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ryanryan007:
twrp

i am on 2.8.1 and on 5.0.1 as per my earlier screenshot.

should i be able to flash v16 now?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
I couldn't see the screenshot for some reason.

Try updating to 2.8.7. 2.8.1 is pretty old and may not be compatible with Lollipop.

https://dl.twrp.me/trltecan/
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nine5raptor:
I use twrp 2.8.6.0 for both poprocks and firekat on my 910t. Have had luck with it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ryanryan007:
my 5.0.1 has a boe2 base. is that why its not working?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
I'm not sure.

Update to TWRP 2.8.7 and try again. The TWRP you're using now is from back when this phone first came out and may not be compatible with Lollipop.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ryanryan007:
is there a new superuser i should be using for root?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
You shouldn't have to root. The ROM is prerooted. All you have to do is:

1. Flash stock with Odin

2. Boot the phone and skip all the set up stuff

3. Copy the ROM onto your phone

4. Boot into download mode and install TWRP with Odin

5. Boot into TWRP and do a factory reset (do NOT wipe internal storage or format data)

6. Flash ROM and nothing else (no Xposed, SuperSU, etc)

7. Select reboot and wait for it to boot. The first boot can take upwards of 10 minutes so be patient.

8. After it boots up for the first time and you're all signed in and stuff now you can flash Xposed or other mods
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ryanryan007:
i literally followed those exact same steps and got the "checking for md5 file... skipping md5 check: no md4 file found"

it eventually says successful and restarts and it just keeps rebooting. i see the galaxy note 5 screen powered by android, then i hear a vibration and it goes black and turns back on again. and over and over again. i was also using the new trwp 2.8.7 and was on 5.0.1 boe2 if that makes a differnce
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
Did you try updating TWRP? Maybe your download of PopRocks is corrupted? I dunno man I'm starting to run out of ideas....

Any thoughts [MENTION=460314]Megalomaniac14[/MENTION]? Or maybe [MENTION=4463570]force70[/MENTION] has some ideas since he owns (or used to own?) a N910W8?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nine5raptor:
My history with this device and others is when this happens after a flash, pull the battery. Boot into twrp, clear cache and dalvik and reboot. May fix it. If not try factory reset and reboot. Also if you cleared internal storage after Odin the stock rom, you can have odd issues.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] skyeking69:
" i see the galaxy note 5 screen powered by android " Huh ? Note 5 ????

Anyone else getting Antutu scores in the 28,000 range on a fresh install after setting it up how it should be set up? I was getting 48,000 on firekat 4.4.4 before going through the process of installing poprocks now.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] vprasad1:
Xposed?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] downshift00:
Nope, no xposed installed after i Odin'ed to COD6 and then flashed poprocks. Weird, I just did it again, and its now over 50k. Maybe it had to take longer than 20 min or so to settle in?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Gee1:
Okay dude here's the problem. Boot into twrp, once in there go to the settings, once you're in the settings unchecked the box next to check for md5, once this is done reboot into recovery and reinstall rom, reboot and wait about 10 minutes or so for phone to boot up, whalla, done and enjoy.......

You have to Odin the base coming from another rom.

Mega, are you still working on fixes to run xposed or has that boat sailed? I love running pop rocks but I may have to switch to aosp to run xposed. I need to find a way to get my work email.

Do you happen to have an aosp roms?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Xposed is the problem on lp on n4 and ime even on mm 6 on the nexus 6 it's terrible...it's simply super buggy so I gave it up...no I personally hate aosp so no n4 ports...I am only using a nexus 6 on loan from a friend to optimize the nexus aosp pr and milky way builds

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Gjohnson7771:
Crap. I don't know. I hate using good mobile anyway. I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Just depends...some are wallpapers...some are zooper widgets...some are Wanam codes...see op2 I have guides for each bit

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cowboyaryk:
Anyone notice a high pitch raspy noise from high quality audio devices?

For example in my car through the auxiliary cable I can hear it, it makes my tweeters sound blown.

Also at home through my home theater system, I have a pair of floor standing jbls that normally sound fantastic through my ps4, I hear the same "tin" like rasp noise making my tweeters sound blown.

The volume is not higher than the warning level, I don't push OK to go higher or it sounds even worse. If I go lower on the volume I can barely hear anything unless I turn the device way higher than normal levels.

Anyone experience the same or have ideas how to fix this? I don't see an equalizer for the phones default audio output unless I'm missing something

By the way, happy Thanksgiving!

Hey Mega,

Installed this ROM a couple days ago and I'm slowly settling in : ) So far it's far beyond stock Tmo. I love the speed and I'm getting used to the new battery life (though I still need to use it "in the wild" to get a good sense for it). Overall I'm really happy so thanks!

One thing I noticed was that after pulling a headphone jack out of the device, the headphone icon will remain until I plug another in and out. Any ideas?

Thanks again! And cheers!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Sucio42:
Speed Tweaks?

Hello Mega,

Thank you for the great rom. I bought this phone last December and after the newness wore away a month later I have regretted the purchase. I gave my wife my old Note 3, running Android 4.4.2 and it flies in comparison to mine. It has a snappiness to it that I have never been able to enjoy from my Note 4.

Your rom is great and it's actually kept me from going back to t-mo and abandoning the Note 4 altogether. Note 5 is not an option as I like to change batteries and having nearly a 100 total gigs with my micro sd card is important. Any suggestions or areas where I can further learn to maximize your rom to it's fullest potential would be very much appreciated. I sent a small donation your way and I wish I could give more, your work is definitely worth it. Happy Holidays to you and all the great folks here on XDA.

Sincerely,

Rick
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JMaxMan:
I have to agree, this is a great Rom. Only thing I like to get going is xposed, so I can use greenify to help with battery life.
