Try PaulPizz ROM. It is the same full stock, deodexed etc. and everything works OOB. I an running it now. You can run that and make a comparison of which you would like to keep.

Aargh..... Man., why would you want to encrypt - you have to do a complete factory reset to remove it. In your case it looks you have to reflash the FULL stock firmware via Odin to reset your phone.

In some cases under settings.... security.... there is a "clear credentials" or "reset credentials". Encryption is a pain if you want to use your phone for more than just corporate email.

Same here but I have a question. Is there a way to user newer versions other than 2.5.11 rc8?

Possible netflix fix

How-to:

1. Go in to your file explorer

2. Go in to system/vendor/lib/

3. Find the file liboemcrypto.so

4. Delete the file liboemcrypto.so

5. Reboot your device.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] douger1957:
I don't believe so, and there's a story as to why.

This dialer was intended for Nexus phones only. Somehow word got out that it would work in any Marshmallow phone. Google closed the door with RC9 and above.

Thanks guys ,worked great, I restored data from original backup worked great so far

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] everinm:
Great, that works thanks!

What was the function of that file? What will be affected or will not work properly after I removed the file from that location? I moved that file to my micro SD in case I need to restore it later.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] douger1957:
It's up to at least RC9. I couldn't get that version to install on any ROM I tried it on. I prefer the Google dialer over the Samsung version.

i just notice whenever i do a nandroid back up full, it wont do it, i meant its broken... i dont know but since i update to CP3 bootloader, it totally messed all my backups, im returning to CDP1, otherwise if i want flash something and return to previous state.. will defenitly mess everything up

what could be causing this [MENTION=5868929]hsbadr[/MENTION]

Nevermind, after i flashed only system from your recovery is working again

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ruinertt:
It's the 'Record' button that he added that appears to mess with the TouchWiz dialer size. I'm running a bone stock, clean install of Beta2. The only thing that I changed was uninstall Xposed Framework (shouldn't have any effect) so that I can use SnapChat.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] herrdrjonz:
Boy that was sure a convoluted bunch of steps to go off DEV Edition Jasmine 4.3 to standard unlocked Jasmine 7. But it seems to be worth it for battery performance alone. I read that 6.0.1 was better at letting apps sleep and maybe that isn't just marketing fluff. I had been burning my battery in about 8 hours. Today, after 7.5 hours on battery, it says I have 21 hours left. If this holds true over the next week I'll be just shocked.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KingVekxin:
Anyone know what kernels are compatible with this rom?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
I think just MultiSystem, the debugging-enabled stock version it comes with and normal stock.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ruinertt:
By the way, for those that are having sizing-display issues with the stock phone dialer app, I can confirm that the Google Phone Dialer works in this build as has been suggested previously:

Google play services force close

Anyone else getting constant FC's on Google play services? I've searched this thread and all of XDA, but I can't find a real solution. My details: I'm running 6.0 CPD1 and have been since it was released. It's just the last day or so that the FC's started. I've disabled all of my xposed modules, uninstalled Amplify, Ad Block, Root cloak, etc... Cleared the cache and data for play services, cleared cache and dalvik from recovery. The only solution I've found is to revert play services back to factory by uninstalling updates. (I've reinstalled the updates to play services but the FC's come back). It's great for not having FC's, but now maps doesn't work. Any suggestions? I'm a bit risk averse to updating to 7.0 only because I use my phone all day, every day for work and don't want to have to change the Bootloader, etc... I appreciate any input.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
You don't need to do anything to the bootloader for 7.0 CPF3 is the same as CPD1.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Murdock1450:
I appreciate your input on that. Unfortunately, the Bootloader upgrade is a minor fraction of what's required to update to 7.0. On top of the upgrade process, reinstalling apps, setting preferences, etc take copious amounts of time. I have 1 hour tops for lunch plus time after work. I'm just looking to see if there's something I can do before I find the time to upgrade to fix the play services FC's. It doesn't seem to me to be ROM or kernel related as it only began a day or so ago. Thanks again.

Multi system kernel

Did I do something wrong? Looks like my selinux is still enforcing and looks like knox is still installed. I did flash the patch kernel from Odin right after restoring jasmine rom 7.0 as per [MENTION=3308172]hasbadr[/MENTION] instructions. I'm on a developer edition but I followed the whole procedure to upgrade the bootloader to cd1 and unlock. Just wondering if anyone else is seein this in their "about phone" screen.

On a side note, thank you [MENTION=3308172]hasbadr[/MENTION] for all of your work! Please don't stop supporting the development for this phone, you keep it alive!:good:

A long overdue donation for your time:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
6 and 7 are both very close to stock TouchWiz. I don't think they've be de-KNOXed. Since hsbadr's been working to get his projects upgraded, he put together rush-ROMs, so we could at least have them and then just debloat them ourselves.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Mibuix0r:
Does this have the theme engine yet?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] douger1957:
No, and I think the reason given was that the Note 4 doesn't have its own theme store. You'll need a Note 5 or S7 ported ROM I believe.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Mibuix0r:
Gotcha, thanks I'll just stick with my S7 rom for now. Battery life is rough though.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] raduque:
How's the GearVR performance? That's the second half of the reason I switched back to the Note 4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JDevil:
Having both read the instructions for 7.0, and checking the now updated firmware thread, is it still required to go through bootloader MM unlock on a DEV phone? Can I not just do 7.0 TWRP backup then bootloader / modem flash? Instructions between 6.0 and 7.0 seem conflicting.

Secondly, what is required for MM Samsung SD card? I have a 512Gb card and would rather not have to format to keep it as separate SD storage (essentially how it is handled by Android now).

Thank you!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] douger1957:
I'm still on 6.0 which uses the Multisystem kernel. I don't know whether hsbadr will make that kernel available as a separate flash. I think he went with the stock kernel because people were complaining about the HD/wifi calling icons on the notification bar.

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------

I'm pretty sure that you'll need to do the Marshmallow unlock procedure even if you're on a developer edition phone.

I don't see where v6.0 supports adaptable storage if that's what you're referring to. I'm not yet on v7.0 so I can't speak to that. You can get adaptable storage with the app "Root Essentials."
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JDevil:
Thank you. I guess I will have to find a spare SD card so I don't have to format my primary one for the unlock process.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] douger1957:
It doesn't need to be a big card. I used an old, cheap 8 GB card. It can be formatted again using diskpart.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KingVekxin:
So I just discovered this grace ui/ux stuff. Anyone know more about this and if we could use it with this rom? Or possibly have a future compatibility
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] douger1957:
I'm on page three of the linked thread now. Some are reporting success across several different Samsung phones. I saw a Note 4 in the signature of one poster. Others are understandably reporting issues. It's a beta. It looks like you can install individual .apks without having to install the UI.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
Where is the link? I went back quite a few pages and have not been able to find it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] douger1957:
Here ya go. There's a link in that thread to the generic Note 4 forum where there's a Grace UX theme. The guy's supposed to drop an update today with multi DPI support. From what I read in that thread last night, it might not be daily driver stuff yet.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KingVekxin:
I tried to flash the zip for it last night but it didn't take on this ROM at all.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] douger1957:
Thanks for the report. I was going to try it but was looking for evidence of more stability first.

There's at least a couple of ROMS using Grace UX for Note 5s. We seem to have so few developers left for Verizon Note 4 users and they seem pretty busy supporting existing ROMs. I certainly don't know nearly enough to attempt to assemble a ROM myself.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KingVekxin:
Neither do I and I've been here for a little while. I tried to build a rom a long time ago for the Infuse 4g.all I got it to do was boot up but couldn't get it to function or anything unfortunately. That was years ago

Edit: Also we could hope that the DEV for this rom will try to incorporate new features into jasmine rom.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
Is anyone else struggling to get Viper4Android working on the newest version of this ROM? I can't seem to get the driver installed.

Edit: I'm going to mess with it more tomorrow but nothing seems to get the driver installed. I reverted back to my latest backup for now, I need V4A, I listen to a lot of music.

He's either taking a well-deserved break or working on WiFi calling for CM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
Restoring my previous backup didn't go so well. There is no lock screen or anything in the status bar and I can't access settings.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] syrenson:
I just got around to installing Jasmine v7.0 and ran into the same dialer issue that other folks are experiencing (i.e. default Samsung dialer UI goes off-screen during an active call due to added Record button). I installed the above referenced Google Dialer and it seems to be working but I've noticed two peculiar behaviors:

1.) Selecting "Settings" >> "Calls" within the Google dialer app results in the app stalling, then crashing.

2.) Selecting "Settings" >> "Sounds and Vibration" within the Google dialer app gives the warning: "Phone app does not have permission to write to system settings."

With regards to item (2.): I went to "Settings" >> "Applications" >> "Application Manager" within the phone and selected the blue "Phone" app (i.e. Google dialer), then selected "Permissions" and all of the permissions seem to be turned on.

Neither of these issues seem to prevent the dialer from making or receiving calls. That said, if anyone has found a fix/workaround for these two issues and wouldn't mind sharing I would be grateful.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ruinertt:
I have the exact same two issues listed above, if that helps.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pattonsj:
I installed 6.0 and it didn't make me set anything up and it immediately said that I have an update.

I guess what I'm asking is, should I now do a factory reset? It didn't say to but it looks almost like a dirty flash.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jbombs16:
Use this flashable zip

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/themes-apps/viper4android-t2952137

Works for me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
JasmineROM v7.0 includes the latest stock kernel with a patched ramdisk. All KNOX files are already removed, but the versions just appear in "About phone". If you want to flash a custom kernel, try the new OscarKernel!

I do prefer to keep SELinux in "Enforcing" mode and patch the sepolicy if needed. This will keep your device

secure

without breaking anything. If something needs a mitigated policy, we can always add some "allow" rules to the policy.

Thank you! Very much appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
Xposed Problems | Call/SMS/MMS/etc

Some Xposed modules, to enable/disable some CSC features, break the phone functionality and probably more. The reason is simple: Samsung moved our CSC features from feature.xml to others.xml. The modules try to edit feature.xml, but since it doesn't exist, they create an empty file and break all CSC features!

Fix: Make a copy of others.xml to feature.xml and reboot:

cp /system/csc/others.xml /system/csc/feature.xml

BTW. To fix DRM issues, delete/rename /system/vendor/lib/liboemcrypto.so !
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] krishaun27:
Do we copy the file itself or the text within the file? And what do we do with the feature.xml file/contents?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
Copy the file!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
Thanks but it didn't work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jbombs16:
What program are you using? It works for me on Google play music and beyond pod.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
The driver won't install. After pressing install is says complete, I then reboot and open V4A and it says I need to install the driver. If I check the driver status it is not installed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jbombs16:
Remove the driver and then then the app. Then flash. When I flashed it, the driver was already installed. That is, the flash should install the app and driver for you.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
I can't uninstall the driver since it doesn't get installed. I have no problems installing it on Jasmine 6.0 but I can't get the driver installed on 7.0. I've tried several different zips, apks and methods.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jbombs16:
Well that explains it. I'm on the previous mm build. I wonder if there is an issue with selinux enforcing on the newer build? Try installing one of those apps to set it not to enforce.

Or maybe try the Oscar kernel
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
I already tried changing selinux and it didn't help.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] joemill:
Did you guys read one or two pages back?:confused:

Selinus IS set to enforcing because it keeps the device secure.

I hear oscar kernel will work and has selinus permissive but have not seen a lot of feedback on it yet, I might give it a shot tonight

[MENTION=5868929]hsbadr[/MENTION] I appreciate your detailed answer, I have done some searching and I am a little confused on how to add an allow rule to the policy.

I found this but it went over my head:eek: http://xdaforums.com/android/software/setools-android-sepolicy-inject-t2977563

I would like to get this viper4android to work (viperAtmos 5.5 sony beats addtion)

Any help would be greatly apprechiated.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
SuperSU can patch the sepolicy file or do live patches on boot time, but that's a bit complicated. I'll look into patching sepolicy for V4A.

Try to add the following lines to /system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh (create it if it doesn't exist):

# Mitigate SELinux denials:
/system/xbin/supolicy --live \
"allow untrusted_app debugfs file { open read getattr }" \

"allow untrusted_app sysfs_display file { open read write getattr add_name setattr remove_name }" \
"allow debuggerd app_data_file dir search"

In the meanwhile, you may also flash OscarKernel! It's based on the latest Samsung source code for this device.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] joemill:
wow Thank you for the quick response and help!!!

I did not have the install-recovery-2.sh file so I created it and set correct permissions. rebooted then went to recovery and flashed the viperAtmos 5.5 beats edition. It still warns me that I need to install driver, do you want to install now, YES, reboot and same message.

I gave this a shot:http://xdaforums.com/note-4-sprint/help/viper4android-to-run-mm-6-0-1-rooted-t3355270

couldn't flash because the update script was made for a different phone, So instead I extracted, copied all files to correct directories, set permissions then reinstalled viper4android, Still no luck.:crying:

last but not least. Installed OscarKernel .6. IT appears like his kernel is also SeLinux Enforcing so yet another no go :crying:.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tolymatev:
Went to the file location and feature.xml was missing like [MENTION=5868929]hsbadr[/MENTION] said. I used root explorer to copy others.xml and paste it in the same folder which made others-copy.xml. I just renamed it to feature.xml.

Thanks. Will report back. Eventually, since i had no issues while using Xtouchwiz. But I used Xtouchwiz only to disable tethering provision. Maybe that's why

I run ODIN hook phone up and then load the md5 file for the partial firmware and it hangs up on that non.bin file forever

I would appreciate a little help clarifying the steps I need to take to get this ROM installed on my Verizon Note 4 DE. I have TWRP 2.8.7.0 and firmware version N910VOYU1BOAF running MOROM 4.1 (LP 5.0.1 based) and kernel version 3.10.40 hsbadr@MultiSystem #1. (BTW, everything works fantastic and it is configured exactly like I want it but has become unacceptably laggy - only reason I'm considering upgrade.)

I've read the OP but am a bit confused as each link for a prerequisite takes me to another link with more prerequisites and I'm not sure which apply to my DE and which don't. Also, there is a discussion about retaining CID and signature - I don't know what this refers to or what the impact is if I don't retain CID and signature. Does this mean the play store will not recognize my phone? Also, I use TiBU full license - I believe it allows you to restore your ID for purposes of the play store but I'm not sure this is the same thing.

I'm not new to flashing but have never understood the ins and outs well enough to not feel intimidated every time I want to upgrade so a simple list of things I need to do and in right order that applies to my particular configuration would be most helpful.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] krishaun27:
If I were you, I'd try the MM Ported Roms first. I see you have the BOAF Bootloader, which is what I had. They require no upgrades, just a specific kernel. Try Dr. Ketans Rom http://d-h.st/8elu with his M5 Fix/Kernel http://d-h.st/rb3d.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JDevil:
It does seem complex to upgrade, even for a developer phone. Can you point me to where you saw a discussion about how to retain your CID? Thats the only thing holding me up from upgrading from 5.0.1 right now. If I can get instructions on how to do that, I can try and write simplified post for developer phones.
