[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcip17:
** Got Verizon Note 4 Dev Edition to work with Alliance T-Mobile ROM!! Data, calling, sms, mms work ! I smell a daily driver! **

ATTENTION: Please be careful make a nandroid of your current Verizon ROM. I am not responsible if you break your phone or lose data on your device!

**This is using the BETA version of Alliance ROM for T-Mobile Note 4. Read this thread: http://xdaforums.com/note-4-tmobile/development/5-0-1-allianceromn910t-18-themes-huge-t3085560 to get an idea of the features of this ROM. Give lacoursiere18 and hsbadr a thanks and donate to them for making this great ROM and kernel.

Follow these steps one after the other and don't stop**

1. Make sure you are on a stock OAF Lollipop ROM using Multisystem #1 kernel, I think I used Rick's OAF Lollipop ROM. I am on BOG modem so I'm pretty sure any Lollipop modem will work with this.

2. Make copies on your SD card of:

- system/buildprop.xml & cscversion.txt

- system system/etc/apns-config.xml

- system/etc/permissions/verizon_net_sip_library.xml & vzwapnlib.xml

- system/lib/libril.so & libsec-ril.so

- system/apps/VzwActivationAgent & vzwapnpermission folders

- system/framework/VZWAPNLib.apk

- system/privapp/VZWAPNService & secmms_candy folders

- system/csc folder

Reboot

4. Reboot into recovery and make a TWRP backup of everything

5. While in recovery dirty flash Alliance ROM BETA on top of stock lollipop ROM OAF that is using Multisystem #1 kernel (Wipe everything except data, and SD of course.)

6. Delete system/privapp/diagmonagent.apk and system/lib/libdiagmonagent.so because at startup it was sending some kind of diagnostics and thought it was messing with the data drop. Ever since these changes and a reboot data has been stable!

Reboot

7. Download root browser and swap those copied files in the appropriate file location. Change them to the correct permissions (the folders get 0755 and the files 0644, compare with other files and folders that are in place already. Make sure you change the permissions on all folders copied over and their contents). **Longest Step**

Reboot

8. Edit feature.xml in the system/csc folder and add:

<CscFeature_RIL_ForceConnectMMS>true

</CscFeature_RIL_ForceConnectMMS>

Above these tags on the bottom :

</FeatureSet>

</SamsungMobileFeature>

This enables auto download mms when data is toggled off ! :D

Reboot

9. Make an backup in TWRP and you have your own custom ROM

I'm pretty sure this ROM is not compatible with xposed but it is very customizable, smooth, and it comes with a lot of features built in.

**READ ME**

Bugs:

- Silent mode is only available using the toggle. Volume down only goes to vibrate.

**

- Battery section in settings is missing

- No way to remove battery percentage in status bar

(Workaround: Download "Battery Usage Shortcut" from the Playstore to access the battery section and to remove battery percentage)

**

- No way to uninstall 3mint battery mod without messing the systemui up

- Now that the mobile network settings are correct the advanced calling option is avaliable but it force closes and messes up your data connection. A reflash of everything will be needed so don't click on it! (I have a feeling a Verizon app is missing but not going crazy about this)

Any suggestions or thoughts about these current bugs would be helpful.

I cannot guarantee all Alliance settings will work but most of them do, it's awesome.

This manual port is now stable ! All basic phone functions work. Let me know if you come across any bugs or issues not related to Alliance settings. I will try to help fix it.

Thanks Stedrocklp for taking the time to try and get this working. Jal3223 thanks for sharing that key porting info!!! Wouldn't be possible without your help! Thanks hsbadr for developing Multisystem kernel ! Thanks lacoursiere18 for creating this ROM !
