@hsbadr what xposed modules do you use?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Thanks for another build! I just have one question. What's DisplayModeControl?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] djensen777:
Do you have to flash the partial build? Already running cm-13.0-20160701-UNOFFICIAL-trltevzw.zip and it rocks. Finally after waiting and trying different mods, I now feel my Note 4 trltevzw retail is mine. Awesome Well Done
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SlothlyDX:
So far so good! I immediately got advanced display FC and everyone you click on the setting it FC's as well. I attached a logcat for it. http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5788700f68fac/Advanced-display-FC.txt

Also does anyone know a fix for titanium backup writing to external sd card? MM has locked it unless you format it to internal storage. I would rather not do that lol.

Edit: Nevermind...... Found the fix for sd card.

I will report back after testing this rom more. Only been on it a few hours but no issues yet except for the display Fc
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] djensen777:
Did you flash partial firmware?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
Greenify

Youtube AdAway

Youtube Background Playback

LiveDisplay's implementation of display modes

You flash the partial firmware once.

AdvancedDisplay FC is a CM bug due to the latest changes. It simply can't find cmsdk FileUtils class because it isn't added properly. I can make a local copy and fix it or you may replace the AdvancedDisplay.apk from the previous build.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SlothlyDX:
Thanks, I will just grab the apk from the latest build. Other than that I'm running great.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Jakib2:
I downloaded and tried updating but received an error message after attempted install saying App not installed with a red x.

SD card fix

Where did you find the sd card fix?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SlothlyDX:
It's an xposed module called marshmallow SD fix lol.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kerfex:
Thaks

Ha! Thank you!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SlothlyDX:
I haven't been able to check yet. Let me see. I will update

Edit: unfortunately yes the studdering is still there. It happens whenever you use the phone, almost like it can't compensate for the power draw.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DrPhant0m:
I've been using Titanium Backup with an external SD card formatted as portable (not integrated as part of internal storage) without any xposed modules since I installed CM13 in February without issue. You do have to grant TiB access to the extSD card, but it's all baked into the app already.

I'm installing the xposed mod now to try to get snapprefs and Pandora Patcher to save to external SD... but Titanium Backup has a system of saving to external SD. PM me if you want to know more. I don't want to clog the thread.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kerfex:
I run the 5/25 build and tb has issues with it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Rev. Voodoo:
Had to roll back. Bluetooth lock screen stutter is still present. GPS navigation was useless for me. None of my nav apps could lock at all. Everything else seemed to work well
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xflbret:
I just installed it. I cannot turn my wifi on :(

I can't even search this thread. I get this error...

The OP says you need to be on either CPD1 or CFP3. Upgrade your bootloader and modem http://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/development/howto-bootloader-unlock-upgrade-to-t3398144
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xflbret:
I am on CFP3. I just spent the last three hours of my life on that horribly convoluted, arduous, frustrating process that seems like it really should be much simpler. My settings>about phone confirm that CM is seeing the CFP3.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DeadRubberDucky:
This is the best most stable version of this ROM I have ever installed on my phone, thank you so much hsbadr!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
You can thank Samsung and Verizon for that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SlothlyDX:
You can restore from titanium easily but you can't backup. It says in titanium that the folder is not write able. If you have a fix or now a step I missed please pm me the solution.

Bluetooth was messy for me too but GPS worked great. Not sure what happened. Very stable build actually. Make sure you don't dirty flash. It also could be an xposed module.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] happy2472:
i have to say i have tried EVERY rom from the reg note 4 forums and the snapdragon forums ... THIS is THE only rom that works with all my apps and games to function perfectly slow to boot up which sucks when you want a quick boot but damn reliable ROM !!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rob_z11:
Can't download latest version?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] vsn4:
Is anybody else having trouble getting 4g? Played with all the apn's and radio settings. as recommended here. Still stuck at 3g. Other then that I absolutely love this ROM! Thank you:)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] douger1957:
Yeah, we get it. You're not happy there's no one touch root. Can we stop *****ing about it already? More than a few people worked hard to get us what we have.

So far I haven't seen 4g in areas it would normally be available. Also, my bluetooth still stutters. Otherwise it seems to be working very good!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Reboot to Recovery then back to System. Weird workaround, but it's always gotten my LTE back when it drops out.

So Advanced Display works in this one?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rob_z11:
Why go out of the ways to make newer release non workable for other flavor of Note 4?

Thanks to Dev for his effort to make nice CM13 unofficial build which worked really well for Tmobile note 4.

That's just doesn't make sense. Just narrow thinking, but I can't do what dev does, so more power for him..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
He's trying to give Verizon users WiFi calling I believe, which requires proprietary stuff. He's not deliberately doing it. We leave that to Apple. It just happens that this ROM no longer works on variants it wasn't built for.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rob_z11:
Well previous version worked well for Tmobile users. I totally understand.

This is what happens to Android/Samsung open community in which we are at the mercy for the dev to deliver since Samsung is always late to the party.

Thing about Apple is different ecosystem.

Probably my last Samsung phone, and switching to Google Nexus..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
If I recall correctly, 7/14 had the same Verizon-only message.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rob_z11:
I meant 7/1
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
Yes, it's mentioned in the changelog!

A few reasons:

My device tree supports all variants; that includes init, which detects the variant from bootloader version and applies variant-specific configs. Though, the partition layout for VZW variant is different (mainly, system partition size is larger), which requires a workaround that I was applying to earlier builds.

I don't know the number of users from other variants. They already get AOSP-based ROMs including CM.

I want to limit the number of whiners and ungrateful users (perhaps, they're all using the VZW variant!). You can easily compare the number of downloads with the number of Thanks given to the announcement post of each build, regardless the users who post ridiculous comments on a FREE ROM from a volunteer dev not the device manufacturer !!!

That being said, let's play a game! There won't be any new builds unless the ratio of Thanks/Dowsloads is reasonable (say, at least 50%). So, if you download these builds, hit Thanks to vote for a new build or just download to vote for end of development.

As for the other variants, you can vote for support by hitting Thanks to this post.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Thanks. I thought I read all the latest changes, but I guess not.

As for the game, I'm sad that there aren't going to be any more builds.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
I'll keep supporting this ROM and likely a Nougat extention for a few loyal users/followers. If the game failed, I may make experimental builds private for the users I select for testing and post only ~stable builds here. So, whiners and ungrateful users could wait a long time to get a stable build, which would reduce their complaints too.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
If I'm in that group, I have no issues :p.

It'd honestly be great to have you make this for CM14. Once I get paid at my job, I'll make another donation for sure. For now, I'll keep thanking.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
Thanks! Donations are always appreciated, but never required.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
A somewhat weird question. Are you planning on adding OTA updates to this ROM or are you going to stick with manual?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Carousser:
Got everything set up two days ago and loving it.

However, I noticed that bluetooth is pretty poor with this ROM, if I leave my phone connected to my car stereo via bluetooth or my speaker at home, it plays fine. However, if I go to do anything else, the audio cuts out; sometimes it's a fracton of a second, but sometimes it stops for like 4 seconds. The music player is still playing (PoweraMp) and still reads the file, but the audio is not going through. Stock OS was fine, but it seems it does not work too well with CM13.

Also, I noticed there was a update that fixed the Advanced Display; if I were to upgrade to the new build, will I need to wipe my SD card again? Or can I just back up apps/settings, factory reset/wipe, and then flash? I noticed you said to do a clean flash, but does that include formatting the SD card as well?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
You should never have needed to wipe the card unless you just did the bootloader upgrade.

---------- Post added at 02:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 AM ----------

@hsbadr I just flashed the new ROM version, and so far so good. I noticed the StraightTalk APN was still set, but I just deleted it. No default SIM card selection windows.

I'm loving it so far!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Carousser:
Thanks. I had just unlocked the bootloader 2 days ago, prior to that I had the phone since last October and using stock 4.4.4. I had a friend that had an S5 that upgraded to lollipop and I did not like it at all when I was using it, so I stayed at 4.4.4. It's really amazing how different 6.0.1 is; I am really enjoying it. Having CM13 is definitely becoming to be the best options I could have done. I love how fluid it is; other than the bluetooth and the advanced display thing (which got fixed in this update), I have not run into any issues and been loving using the phone every time I unlock it. I remember using CM 7 on my droid X in like 2012, and it's really awesome how far things have come.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SlothlyDX:
If you need anything I'm willing to test and get logcats. I'm actually wondering how to go about getting a logcat for the Bluetooth. Would playing music and getting a logcat while on the lockscreen help? Just curious,as I know it's not easy to fix these small issues. The newest version of CM13 is very fast. I think Bluetooth is the only thing left, and that studders every now and then. Very solid build. We appreciate your work immensely.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rob_z11:
Well if you look at the history of my thanks I have eared, and have given out that I am always appreciative of talented Dev's work.

Yes, yours was the only build out of all CM13 for note 4 which worked on newer bootloader, and frankly it was great build out of the box.

It is your ROM, so it is entirely up to you for pulling that customize fix which worked for other rom...

Thanks for your work and explanation. ..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DeadRubberDucky:
Well hsbadr I completely support you and thank you 100 percent!

My thanks may look low but I was sorta new to actually being an XDA member and wasn't sure how that worked exactly cause every time I hit thanks it wouldnt do anything
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Carousser:
I'm not sure if anyone else has stumbled upon this, but I believe the Bluetooth lagging issue is do to scanning for a Bluetooth signal, even when it's currently connected to one. So, when you unlock your phone, it will scan for a new signal for about 2 seconds.

I found this out when I was playing in the Bluetooth menu while listening to music via Bluetooth speaker. I noticed that when you open the Android menu inside the Bluetooth menu, it searches for a signal. It cut out the Bluetooth the same way unlocking the phone cuts out. I tested it by opening and closing the Android menu repeatedly, always starting when it was open and stopping when I closed it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Hackn3y:
I can confirm this causes mine to stutter. I did not notice the stutter when talking on the phone, but only when I was trying to play music, and it seemed to cut out consistently every 5 seconds.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Well the SIM selection pop-up showed again. It doesn't seem to have caused the weird freezing/refreshing issues I was getting before, though, where XDA Labs would freeze up for about 10 seconds and apps like Imgur would start refreshing the screen every few seconds for a while.

I'll see what happens.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xflbret:
I've read some discussion here about the Bluetooth issue. I'd like to offer my perspective on it.

I just got here. I got my Note 4 in the mail about four days ago. For the previous 3+ years, I was using the Note 2.

I really didn't want to upgrade from the Note 2. I was happy with the Note 2. But, Samsung stopped making TW ROMs for it with 4.4.2. There was a dev or two that was still attempting to make a CM ROM for it, but with each successive build there were ALWAYS two problems with it: having to reset the APNs, and the Bluetooth choppiness issue. One day about three weeks ago, I just threw up my hands and said that I give up on the Note 2. I know Sammy would never update a ROM for it, and it just seemed like the Bluetooth choppiness issue and the APN issue would be in CM forever. Since I rely on my phone heavily for the music I require to get through life, living with the Bluetooth choppiness is a compromise I just can't make.

Now that I come over to the Note 4 side of life, and I see that the Bluetooth choppiness issue exists here as well, I am force to come to a conclusion. This is just conjecture on my part; I am not a dev or a coder or an expert. But, I think there may be a "base" of CM somewhere where the individual devs pick it up from and customize it for a particular model of phone. I think that the Bluetooth choppiness is baked in to this "base" and probably isn't a problem with the model of phone.

So, is the Bluetooth issue hopeless? I don't know, but when I compare the Note 2 experience and what I'm reading for the Note 4, it is sounding like it to me :(

I hope this post helped someone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SlothlyDX:
Well I can confidently say that it worked perfect a few builds back but it was on LP. Everytime we jump to the next version of Android, line from LP to MM, devs usually have to start over again and fine tune the rom. Usually Bluetooth is not a big deal for most and in that respect the rom is wicked fast and runs great. I use Bluetooth for phone calls and music, because I'm on the road a lot. So for me I have to patiently wait, which is ok. I'm just trying to help where I can and report what I know. ☺️

I know hsbadr will eventually get it or maybe CM team needs to change something? So we wait because I'm no dev and I can't imagine the difficulty in getting it fixed. I have built a few roms in the past and the time to build the rom alone is time consuming. Usually devs start building overnight so they can release it in the morning.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
If another CM build is having the issue, it's probably something with CM. CM is open-source, so yes, there is a common base every build for each variant is built upon.

It might not be our bootloader and modem that are the issue. If the Note 2 was having the same problem on CM, I'm going to think it's something to do with Android.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bricewalkuh82:
Haha, I love ya hsbadr! I always drop a thank and hopefully more people will.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] plainbum:
Hi, is there a way to play .flac music?

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SlothlyDX:
I believe a lot of music apps play .Flac like poweramp and N7 player.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Carousser:
I feel ya. I had the galaxy s3 and I hated stock so much but any ROM was fine. I ended up dealing with stock and root purely for the Bluetooth issue just because I also drive a lot and I go insane if audio skips.

Food for thought- when I drive I have my phone in a charging stand and Bluetooth audip. You can turn on daydreaming and set it to charging so instead of the screen timing out and turning off, it goes into daydream mode with is a black screen with the current time. If you need to change a song, the phone is technically still awake so if you need to change the song or see something on your phone, the audio won't skip cause it won't search for a signal, whereas when you unlock the phone, it will search for asignal which is what causes the lag.

This is a little workaround trick I discovered last night and works well for me; but does not solve the main issue
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
That's really clever actually. If I ever run into the need to use BT for audio, I hope I remember this.

Well said. I thought the exact same thing. My note 2 also had the same issues with cm roms. I have been on it on my note 4 for a week now and had to go back to jasmine 7.0 the bluetooth, gps, and data issues are just too much to deal with. Other than that the ROM is absolutely amazing. i really hope theses issues are fixed because this is daily driver worthy.

Even though I'm still on the 6/24 build (it's been stable enough for me lol), I still stop by daily and hit the thanks button on any new posts you make releasing new builds. I just downloaded the newest build and saw there were only about half of the "thanks" on your most recent release a few hours ago than there were downloads, and I'm sure that number will sadly decrease even further. But just know dispite that, your development is still greatly appreciated nonetheless by a lot of us here! Keep doing what you do, a lot of us here definitely look forward to it with every new build!
