[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Well I was on the 5/8 build and was a little annoyed by the long boot times and weird battery drain issues (I think that's unique to me). 5/17 hasn't changed much for me, except in-call audio. I want to try out the 2/14 build, since it's stable, but, like I said, I don't know if there were any major features added since then, and I don't really want to go through the pages of the thread to find each changelog.

I was hoping someone who has been here a while (maybe even hsbadr) could tell me about anything new.

Welp.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] NJDEN:
I haven't flashed the May 17 build so I'm just guessing, but I'm thinking audio issues may also include the lingering speaker static heard after any audio was triggered / played.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
H.S.Badr is my name. However, someone in JasmineROM thread for the Note 3 made this suggestion:

I'm not sure. It seems to me that most VZW Note 4 users prefer to download without supporting the hard work by at least hitting the THANKS button, except for posting their own issues or requests. It was completely different when I was supporting the Note 3 !

Yes, I've two now, as I plan to fix the LCD issue of my original DE device. I'll keep both: one for stable daily use and the second for testing and development – unless I stop supporting the Note 4 for any reason.

That was already fixed in one of my unreleased builds, before I applied too many experimental changes that caused new issues as well.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Any chance you could release one of those working unreleased builds? I flashed 5/17, but want to go back to 5/8 because of the calling issues. However, a dirty flash of 5/8 causes a bootloop. (Flashing 5.17 again fixes that). I don't really have the time to go through the backup and restore process to clean flash, and I'm hoping maybe one of those builds will work with a dirty flash.

(If it isn't any trouble, of course. I don't get many calls anyway :p.)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jazzdglass:
Hello? How may I be able to have the option to select

either 2G or 3G or LTE each seperately on this rom? Thank

you. I only see them lumped together in settings>network and phone

always stuck on 3g.. Running lollipop. Thank you.

Using the phone outside the US
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Aren't there apps on the Play Store that let you do that?

And if you're using the phone outside of the US, there's a pretty good chance you won't get LTE if you're still using Verizon.

If you're enjoying hsbadr's support for our Note 4 then pony up with a contribution.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
I actually just did :).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jpcalhoun:
My comment wasn't directed specifically to you, but glad you did[emoji1]
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Oh I know that :p. I just figured I'd share (maybe encourage others? ;)).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jpcalhoun:
Good thinking. Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] NickSaul:
I agree! I'm in the same boat. Dirty flashing from the 5/17 back to the 5/8 build seemed normal while booting, but when the boot animation should have stopped, it instead started playing sped up really fast.

Luckily I was able to reflash the 5/17 build again, so I'm on that for the time being.

I'd be grateful if a new build could be released that I could flash over the 5/17 build so that I don't have to wipe my data.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] NickSaul:
Actually, I was unable to reflash the 5/17 build. Now I'm getting the Setup Wizard has Stopped error on startup. I even tried clean flashing the 5/08 build and I'm getting the error, so now I'm just trying to get any build up and running.

Edit: Flashing the 5/18 Open Gapps fixed the Setup Wizard error. I'm successfully back on the 5/8 build.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jazzdglass:
I can't find any app that does that. And no... I'm using local sim not verizon here outside the US.

I thought recent high end phones are capable of running all LTE bandd? Is there a way to atleast make this note run on band 3 and 8? 1800mhz and 900mhz?

Just wanted to stop in and say thanks to hsbadr! Without any of your work, none of us would be here... at least not in this forum. ;) (And many others) Thanks for all you have been working on. Just got back into Android programing. It's been quite a while. Will be donating soon to hsbadr...as he has reintroduced me to CM!! Loving it so far as well as your other Roms.

Currently running 5/8. Had to do clean flash from 5/17. Same issues with bootloop. Just reporting... wasn't too much of an issue, I'm a flashaholic. Also was having no audio on calls on 5/17

[ROM] [6.0.1] CyanogenMod 13.0 [May 18, 2016]

I've added a new

testing

build to DEVDB Downloads. You need to clean flash this build!. Some apps (e.g., Camera) might take time to open until you grant permission or access to device(s). It's good practice for both battery and performance to disable functions/features/modes when you don't use them or before you go to sleep, such as Cellular Data, Bluetooth, WiFi, NFC, Sync, ... etc.

Focus Area:

Changes:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shkfats:
Flashing in a few. Will report back. Thank you for the work!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
These frequent updates are awesome! Thank you for the hard work you're putting into the Note 4!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jr_718:
Can't wait to test this until I get my new device...fresh meat...? thanks again hsbadr.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
I jumped in with the 5/8 build and haven't had any of the issues I've seen others post about. The audio and mic are solid, BT is flawless, I keep forgetting to test navigation when I'm on the road, but it is finding my current location quickly. Camera is good, battery is flipping awesome (though I also installed Greenify and Amplify for the first time too). It does take a crazy long time to boot, but I don't have to boot very often. This has been a solid build, and I am very grateful since it's the first time I've been able to Run CM since my Droid X. Thanks H.!

I set this up as a secondary ROM on a dual boot, but I don't even bother with the primary (stock TW) anymore. If I can just figure out how to make a backup, I'll try testing newer builds.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] testsubject00001:
Awesome news. Thank for you work you are putting into this.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
If you have enough internal space left you can always clean flash it to one of the other data slots just to test it out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Bicknasty:
*sigh*

Fiiiiine, I won't report anything about HDR this time. :p
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
I was thinking about that, but I need to do a little housekeeping first!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shkfats:
Sound is working on 5/18 build. Awesome job Hsbadr! I'm checking other aspects now.

---------- Post added at 09:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 AM ----------

Should NFC be disabled/deleted for this build? (Avoid battery drainage and over heating)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] spy9000:
Thank you!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Uh oh, what happens if I turn on HDR? Does my phone explode? :p
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
Turn it off when you don't use it, and report me back if there's any issues!

It may cause Camera crash, but HDR itself works fine when you reopen the Camera.

Folks,

Thank you for the support! Greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Ah, thanks! And thanks for the ROM :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dynamix911:
The current bugs I found for latest beta is the wifi and Bluetooth constantly disconnecting and reconnecting. I had a similar wifi issue in 5.8 but it seemed to go away after a second reflash.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
This is 5/18? Have you tried a second flash with it? I had an issue in 5/17 where WiFi would connect but would say "No Internet." I fixed that by clearing cache (not the Dalvik/ART cache) in recovery. Maybe it'll fix this too?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dynamix911:
Let me try clearing cache and reflash yes this is 5/18
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
I've noticed something a little strange. When the phone first boots up, the screen is somewhat unresponsive until I put the phone to sleep and wake it up again.

I don't know if it's just me or if it's already been reported. I just figured I'd share.

It's certainly not a bad bug, but it's definitely there for me :p.

Reflash didn't help on 5.18 the wifi keeps disconnecting and reconnecting, same goes for Bluetooth. When wifi is off Bluetooth seems to stay connected
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
WiFi and Bluetooth work perfect for me on today's build. Try to reconfigure your router or switch to IPv4 or test WiFI on another network!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
I don't think I've had these problems, but I haven't really tested. Do you have any kernel tweaks maybe?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shkfats:
I'd have to agree... my BT and wifi is working correctly as of now. No disconnections etc. Haven't encountered this issue.

So far this build is great.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dynamix911:
Whenever my wifi reconnects seems like my Bluetooth does also, well my Bluetooth is solid but the wifi kicks it out randomly I'm gonna check my router settings. I do notice when I lock the phone wifi goes away. I checked that setting always keep wifi on during sleep
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
I forgot to mention. I also reset my network settings, then reconnected to WiFi, before clearing cache.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dynamix911:
Found the issue it was ipv6 on my router is what was freaking the wifi on phone out. I turned it off and it's fine both BT and Wifi are solid !! Time to test other things ! Thank You sir I'm about to take a little ride so I will test GPS now.

Flashed 5-18-16 build and all is working good so far. Wifi is solid. GPS working perfect, never lost location or searching for signal. Bluetooth also working fine, but i never had a problem with Bluetooth on any builds. System process error gone. Camera working, along with in message camera working now also. Still cant get the default cLock widget to display weather. Running good so far, I will let you guys know if i run into anymore problems. Thanks again for all the updates you do for this rom and the work you put into it.:good::good:

F2FS Support Broken

For anyone who was stuck at bootlogo running F2FS for data and cache, it is broken in any update past 05/08. Took me forever to figure out why it wasn't booting, besides that, nice build!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dynamix911:
Is there a way to add auto brightness mode to the pull down shortcuts? So I can toggle on and off ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Drag the notification all the way down, so you see the toggles and hold down the Settings gear. You'll be in edit mode and there should be a "+" button on the right to add toggles. You can add the toggle from there.

So far so good. Been running 2/14 and clean flashed to 5/18. Phone, Wifi, BT, camera, GPS, Snapchat, all working well. I think I'll stay on 5/18 for a while as a daily. Dare I say mark it stable!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Well, it seems there are issues with the phone for at least two of us :p We can't make calls or the phone reboots.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PureCM13:
I made a call, works perfectly. Also a clean flash.

EDIT: Using OpenGApps Nano 5/18 if that matters

Try going to apps in settings. Hit the gear (settings) and click on phone, add phone as default. This corrected my issues on 5/8. Let me kown if it works. Make sure defaults are selected.

I will be coming from Jasmine. The install says factory reset then flash .would that be correct from me coming from Jasmine?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] spy9000:
Yes, but you'll also need to get yourself the GAPPS package since AOSP roms don't come with it. Just search 'open GAPPS' and download whichever package you want. I would go with stock. Flash it just like you would any rom and remember to flash it only after flashing your rom.

I don't see a Phone menu in Settings root, and Dialer has no links.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shkfats:
Go to general android settings(the gear shape in your app drawer). Select apps (Where u can install/uninstall/disable apps). Top right corner there is gear(another settings option). Select it. Once you get in you'll see "Default Apps" under advanced options. That will bring up a list of 4+ default items including which app is default phone. Go into this option and select phone, as more than likely nothing is selected. Let me know if you don't understand and I'll provide pics of what i mean. Hope this helps.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shkfats:
Hmm.. my understanding is it may have been a gapps issue in the past. You have selected your default phone dialer per the instructions above? Do you have the latest gapps? Also, was this a dirty or clean flash?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jlavallee25:
I'm also having the reboot issues when phone is used
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Dirty. It's also the C-App Dialer I believe. I could try flashing GApps again.

I definitely need to do a clean flash, but I don't have time until the weekend
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shkfats:
Per Hsbadr, in this betas OP, you need to do a CLEAN flash. If you did a clean flash see if the instructions above regarding choosing a default phone(dialer) helped the situation with phone reboot when making or receiving calls.

My current is is 5/18 build with 5/18 gapps(stock). I doubt the version of gapps you choose really matters, but wanted to state what I currently have.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jlavallee25:
I clean flashed and had the phone issue went into settings and set the default app and all is well.

Marshmallow Firmware

The last build is the most stable one. Though, some of you have reported random issues. These're mainly due to updating the kernel from Samsung Marshmallow source code, which may require compatible baseband, bootloader, and proprietary blobs. I'll revert to a more stable branch of the kernel until we get Marshmallow update.

So if the build works perfectly for us, should we stay on this build for performance? Thanks for your work!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
Finally got a chance to test the update and it's great! Thanks again!

Bugs that I've noticed:

-I am also getting a Bluetooth share has stopped error that happened when I tried to pair with my watch (as a bluetooth speaker, not through android wear).

-I also can't seem to get my phone to connect to my car ('15 Nissan Altima) with CM13. It never worked before though, and I'm pretty sure that it has more to do with my car than the actual ROM (it had problems when I was on some stock version as well) so I'm not sure it's a big deal

Fixes that I've noticed:

-GPS works flawlessly. It takes only 3-6 sec in GPS Status and Toolbox to get a fix

-The Boot error (system not responding?) has stopped

-So far the screen hasn't gone super dark on wake up (that happened a few times with previous versions)

Also, I tried making a phone call and I didn't have a reboot. I haven't noticed any drop offs in wi-fi either.

Thanks again for all the support and fixes!

Edit: I am dual booting to this ROM for testing. Since it changes the kernel to the one that comes with the ROM I'm fairly sure the experience should be the same.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dynamix911:
Does anybody use the Google camera in 5/18 and does it work well? The stock AOSP camera works but has issues focusing seems like and uses flash when not necessary
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SlothlyDX:
Latest build is running like a dream. I haven't found an issue yet. Bluetooth works great, music and calls, camera has no problems, and no FCs. I think we have a winner.

---------- Post added at 09:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------

All of you who have Bluetooth issues, are you using multisystem kernel or basically dual booting? If so that could be your problem. I don't think bug reports should be made using dual boot because it's not properly installed. If the Dev wants to make it a priority to get it working with dual boot then we should note that these bugs are being reported with dual boot. I could be wrong but usually any other modification can make things go wonky and make the Dev lose his mind over something he can't control.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dynamix911:
CM installs it's own kernel so it doesn't matter what you had before is this correct? If you flash multi system kernel then CM you have whatever kernel comes with CM?

5/8 build Bluetooth and Wifi was working just fine for me. I didn't flash any kernels
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SlothlyDX:
This is correct for the cm portion of the dual boot. I'm not blaming the kernel but more the dual boot. I thought I read earlier that people were due booting so they could switch between the two roms. That could be an issue. Like I said though I could be wrong.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dynamix911:
Ahhh I gotcha. When dual booting I think everything is kept separate somehow from what I understood reading. But I have not tried dual boot yet because the other ROM is on a different modem so it defeats the purpose. Having to flash BOK3 to BPA1 for CM.
