[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] NJDEN:
Been using the July 1st build for a few days now. Bluetooth is still pretty spotty; it connects easy enough, but lots of pops and clicks, especially when doing anything with the lockscreen.

My data is pretty abysmal and I've been stuck with 3g. Anytime I change my APN to VZWINTERNET it seems to reset itself back to TRACFONE.VZWENTP.

I'm not sure if this is software or hardware related, but I'll say it anyway. The WiFi connection seems a little spotty when I go outside my home. Obviously the WiFi signal has degraded by passing through walls; however, my Nexus 6 is able to keep the signal much better than the Note 4. I'm not sure if that is due to a hardware difference between the two, or if the ROM comes into play at all.

Aside from those few issues this ROM feels super solid. I haven't had any issues that have left me crippled and I'm excited to see what future iterations hold.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chappatti:
Yeah, forgot completely about diskpart. For others not familiar with cmd line, MiniTool Partition works nicely and is free.

As far as the bootloader backup sd card, I used SD Formatter also, but some times it leaves partitions on the sd card. And yes, for sd cards its super one-click.

Does the finger scanner work yet it didnt work on the lollipop bootloader
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
It always worked. You need to do an extra swipe at the end.

Thanks, per the instructions, do I still use the Emotion-TW-5.1.1-nightly-r21-RC1-SM-N910P during the root in order to upgrade to Marshmallow?

What?

---------- Post added at 04:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 AM ----------

Reset the settings to default and they'll be back.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] a11m1ghty:
In order to obtain 6.0.1, I must complete the instructions for installing the firmware and radio for the 6 and re-root. The instructions for the root process for retail Note 4 include (step 10) "Type the following command: adb sideload Emotion-TW-5.1.1-nightly-r21-RC1-SM-N910P.zip".

Nice to see that we're pretty well ahead of a phone that's 2 years newer.

---------- Post added at 04:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 AM ----------

You don't need that, and you really shouldn't flash it. Instead, flash the hybrid firmware linked in the upgrade thread.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] joemossjr:
Which one is two years newer?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
The iPhone 6.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] joemossjr:

??? it's OK just glad to see this phone is ahead of 2 phones I was thinking of getting before this one the 5s and 6
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] a11m1ghty:
1st, thanks for replying back so quickly. So when I had a rooted 5.1 retail, all I had to do ws upgrade the firmware and radio, then the CM ROM? I was seconds away from going back to stock due to a boot loop. I'm back on the firmware as you pointed to, but now have factory reset to defaults and dumped cache. Now, I'm confused at next step(s).

I'm back up and running using 5.1.1 un-rooted. Do I re-root using Kingo & adb shell steps then proceed with the odin the twrp so i can flash CM?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
You need to get that hybrid firmware flashed somehow then do a factory reset BEFORE you boot it. Then you can root it, unlock the bootloader again, flash TWRP, and then CM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] solomonquansah123:
Does anyone know how to activate "the quick unlock if PIN is correct feature" on this ROM without using Xposed?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DeadRubberDucky:
If I'm on the 6/24 build with the marshmallow unlocked bootloader and on CPD1, is it possible to flash to the new current build without having to completely redownload and set up my phone again?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] douger1957:
I remember the response one ROM developer gave to this very question. If you have to ask if it's okay to dirty flash, you'd be better off not.

And, here's douger's standard answer: you can dirty flash if the ROM developer doesn't explicitly require a clean flash. You can even tell the developer to piss up a rope and dirty flash. It's a free country, more or less. It's not good practice and often introduces problems. Don't post your issues with a ROM until you've done a clean flash. Why? Because a clean flash establishes a common starting point when it comes to troubleshooting. I can remember when ROM developers put a factory reset in the script just to make sure the thing got wiped.

Confessions of a former flashaholic: before I flash an updated ROM, I wait to see if others have problems. If the improvements in the ROM outweigh the problems and the pain in the ass it takes to clean flash and set the phone up again, I'll flash.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Hackn3y:
On the 7/1 build waking my device causes the song to skip for a few seconds, but otherwise it seems to play fine.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DeadRubberDucky:
I hear ya man, I've been rooting and flashing ROMs since my Droid X and a couple Samsung devices without issue at all, but because I have had trouble with my Note 4 recently with random reboots and such that I was given help for and fixed with Macrodroid, I was just curious if it was OK to dirty flash.

I had just seen a post in here saying that the dirty flash seemed to be OK and didn't cause too many problems, but I was just curious if that had been an available or alright option since my Note 4 had just been a tad unreliable latley.

Thank you for the reply and the insight,
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] teegale:
On 6/30 build. Anyone having people complain about duplicate texts? My girlfriend says I've sent a lot of duplicate texts in the last few days since installing CM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Bicknasty:
2/14 was the last build hsbadr called stable. 5/25 was the last build that supported the BPA1 firmware. 5/25 was a fairly stable build, but it was prone to the occasional camera and heat issues.

I would strongly recommend that you upgrade your firmware and install 6/30 or 7/1. They're phenomenal, except for a few stock/Google camera app issues (for front camera and for video, otherwise you're fine).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DeadRubberDucky:
So i figured out my shut off problem, it seems when my phone goes to sleep, for too long it will either shut down my phone or seemingly go into a deep sleep that cannot be gotten out of, does anyone know how to solve this??
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Jakib2:
If you're on 6/24 right now, do you just download 7/1, place on SD boot into recovery and flash? You'll be fine not wiping any data before flashing right?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
You may be fine and there may be problems. Dirty flashing is always a gamble.

---------- Post added at 05:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 AM ----------

Did you dirty flash to your current build?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Jakib2:
gotcha. didn't make that connection. Is there an alternative way to upgrade to the newest nightly other than full wipe that would be 100% safe?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DeadRubberDucky:
No I clean flashed, but I had this problem on every build of CM for some reason, might be my actual phone, but it never happened till I rooted and unlocked the bootloader, even after I flashed back to 100% stock before
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
I don't think there's something in between.

---------- Post added at 05:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 AM ----------

Maybe your battery's going weird.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DeadRubberDucky:
I had thought that too but I bought a new one and it does the same hah

Hmm. I'm not sure what it is then. Maybe the SD?

Dirty Flash is okay. I'm on a T-Mobile Note 4 variant, running this rom, and dirty flashed. Hope this helps.

I'm on the 7/1 build, and am having an issue with Bluetooth audio.

When the screen is turned on, the audio skips a bit, then it's OK.

Anyone else have this issue?

Other than that, everything works great. Thanks so much for the hard work on this.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DerangedLoofah:
I have the same issue. It's improved, but still noticeable. It was perfect before the new modem, so after a few updates we should get back to the stability of before.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
This is a bit late, since I keep forgetting to post it.

I found a possible fix for the 3G-only issue on the VZWINTERNET APN. All I had to do was reboot into Recovery and then back to CM. I didn't even do anything in Recovery, but I had 4G back after CM booted

What?

So you did not revert back to stock and re-root and load the new bootloader hybrid software? Did you just Odin the new hybrid bootloader software?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
You need to have an unlocked bootloader to flash the hybrid firmware.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kerfex:
Dirty baby

Whenever you Dirty flash, always wipe the Cache and Dalvik Cache. I do it three time in a row then flash the rom. And yes place the 7/1 build on your external sd card and have at it.

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 PM ----------

I though you meant the bootloader. The hybrid firmware includes the bootloader: N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVRU2CPD1_FullFirmware.tar.md5. So did you revert back or just odin this? Just curious.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Revert back from CM? No. I just flashed that with Odin and continued on. It erasers everything on the phone, so it doesn't really matter what's running on the phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kerfex:
Sweet

I thought you had to revert back to BPA1 stock and go through the whole unlock/make it a DE process and then flash the Hybrid. Didn't think you could just odin this and root and flash CM and rock. Good to know.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
If you're on CM right now, you have an unlocked bootloader. That's all you need.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chadwick359:
I'm continuing to see bluetooth audio stutter when turning the screen on. Lockscreen vis is disabled, did a really clean flash of 6/1; issue was persistent in previous build as well.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kerfex:
ha

That's what I thought, But since it's been so long with the rooting and flashahiloicness, My brain was not working. I just have to get to a 4G area, (I live in the mountains so it's spotty) and i will bring my lap top, odin this bad boy, temp root to full root and rock. I am dying to try the 06/30 or 07/01 build since it doesn't run as hot. I don't care about bluetooth not working.

You still on 06/30 or have you made the jump to 07/01?

---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------

I'm wondering if I could Odin the hybrid, then Odin the updated modem (Since the hybrid doesn't have Wifi) Then temp root to perm root over Wifi I think I will try that when I get home. I'm getting ready to leave work

EdIt: Huh, I was just thinking, I shouldn't even have to do the temp root since it built into CM13, right? I should just be able to Odin the hybrid, then Odin the updated modem, boot into recovery and flash CM13 07/01 build and switch on SU in the developer section. That should work right?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] douger1957:
This hybrid firmware? No. If that's what you're talking about flashing, you'll have a locked Marshmallow bootloader. You'll have to unlock the bootloader before you can flash CM. If you're already on the Marshmallow bootloader you can upgrade to the PF3 bootloader then flash CM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Your brain seems to still be having trouble :p. You're making this too complicated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Jakib2:
Thanks.

Did the wipes and then the dirty flash. Everything working well so far. Some apps disappeared but uninstalling and reinstalling fixed the issue.

Edit: I've been experiencing random restarts, lock ups on reboots, more apps disappearing, couple of crashed on camera use. anyone else experiencing these issues?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
So I may have found a fix (well, workaround) for the overheating problem. I installed CM on my mom's phone because TW is just terrible in terms of performance, and it was having extreme heat problems (possibly worse than TW).

I ran 'top' in a terminal to see what was using the CPU, since that was the part of the phone that was hot. Nothing very helpful came up; just system_server using about 30% CPU. It's a lot, but not much could be done about it.

After searching through Google, I decided to download Wakelock Detector to see what the wakelocks on the phone were. It turned out Facebook had been keeping the phone awake for almost the entire duration the phone had been on.

I uninstalled Facebook (kept the Messenger app) and installed Swipe for Facebook instead (Metal is also a nice FB wrapper). After rebooting and putting an ice pack on the phone screen for a few minutes, the phone is running cool.

I'm not sure if this is the same issue that deleting the NFC app prevents, but I figure I'll share it for people to try, since some of us use NFC and can't delete the software for it. I didn't test removing the NFC app because of time and laziness, so I can't say for sure that this is more than a similar problem.

Would everyone who had/has the overheating problem reply and say whether or not you have FB installed? It'd be great if the solution is just to get rid of a terrible app rather than deleting a useful system service.

TL;DR: if you have overheating problems, try deleting the FB app and see if it solves it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kerfex:
I do. On the 5.25 build
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
And do you have overheating?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Bicknasty:
I'm running 7/1 with the NFC app intact and Facebook installed. I have Greenify installed with root, but without Xposed. I'm experiencing absolutely no regular or consistent heating issues, except during video playback in YouTube, which I've reduced to acceptable levels by limiting the maximum GPU frequency to 600MHz in kernel adiutor.

I've disabled CPU boost, reduced global voltage offset by 40mV, set the hotplug to only plug additional cores after the current core is at 960MHz, and used either the ondemandplus or alucard governor, switching arbitrarily between the two, as I've not yet developed a preference for either.

I don't know whether I needed these settings to eliminate overheating on recent builds. I just use them to try and extend battery life.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DerangedLoofah:
Just noticed that LiveDisplay automatic day/night mode isn't working. For some reason i remember it working previously.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JOSHSKORN:
Hey guys help me out. I've taken a break from CM 13 because I had a problem with an app working on it. I can't remember which app it was or what exactly the problem was, but it had to do with mock locations. I either couldn't set up a mock location or I couldn't disable mock locations. I remember a setting having to do with setting a specific app in CM 13 to handle mock locations, so it must be that I was unable to disable mock locations all together to get an app to work. If that's the case, it was the WWE app that I had a problem with, as I would have gotten a message saying "UNABLE TO RELIABLY VERIFY YOUR LOCATION". Has this been addressed?

Secondly, I see the latest version is 7/1. How "stable" is this? The last version I used was probably in February.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DerangedLoofah:
Nope. The kernel is set to alucard. Would that affect it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
The location issue has been pretty much fixed. There are a few problems, but for the most part it works fine.

Sometimes when I run videos. or have 20+ apps open. But normal use it stay between 83F - 95F if it goes over 95 I kill everything and shut the phone down for 5 min. That is turn completely off then boot up again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Bicknasty:
No, it wouldn't.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Jakib2:
I wiped all and flashed fresh this morning. Camera is still giving me issues. The camera loads up for about 5 seconds then screen goes black and locks the phone up. No response and have to pull battery.

Anyone have a solution to this?

Edit: after wiping again, I included wiping internal as well as data, cache, dalvik, system, etc. I also did not allow the camera to access my location. This seems to have fixed the issue for the front facing and regular camera.

The internal wipe might have fixed it because of my initial dirty flash...

Build 7/1 is working on my N910T, except Bluetooth is lagging. Any idea?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] douger1957:
Bluetooth seems to be a commonly reported issue.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
So I've found something out about the APN issue. It's not that it's actively switching to the StraightTalk APN, it's that it's resetting the selection. I've deleted the StraightTalk APN and have 4G again, but I noticed that my APN got set to the new top option, VZWADMIN.

So, deleting every APN above VZWINTERNET should make it stay on that one, since it's being reset to the top option. However, VZWADMIN also works.

I found this interesting and figured I'd share.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jlavallee25:
Even mms?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Not sure about MMS. I just use VZ Messages.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Bicknasty:
I've found that selecting the desired APN and immediately rebooting made the selection stick permanently.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] NJDEN:
The APN trick worked well enough, but my signal is still just as bad. I'm wondering if the Odin of the partial firmware did not stick or what the deal is.

Is anyone else having spotty reception even after changing their APN? I'm on VZWINTERNET and I still only get 2 bars of 3G at best in areas where I had 4G. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
That never worked for me. It always changed itself back. This observation helped me out, so I wanted to share.

---------- Post added at 02:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 AM ----------

Someone else said they fixed it by wiping, flashing an S7 port, flashing the modem again, then going back to CM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] testsubject00001:
Yeah my reception had gotten worse as well.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
I want to say that, while reception may look worse (fewer bars) it might not actually be worse.

The number of bars you have is actually meant to represent your proximity to the nearest tower. I'm not sure how this is done (maybe triangulation or GPS), but I have read that they do not represent signal strength. For example, you could have five bars of LTE and still have it be slower than three bars of 3G somewhere else.

The observation that service has gotten worse since switching to CM is apparently false. Stock ROMs actually pad the signal to make it look better, even though the number of bars have little correlation with strength and speed.

Don't think of CM having a worse signal, think of it as showing your true proximity to the connected tower.

Disclaimer: this is stuff I've read on the internet, but I've seen it in multiple places and believe it to be true.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Jakib2:
It appears I jumped the gun again...

I am on a fresh flash of the 7/01 build. No Facebook app (using swipe instead). Doesn't seem to be an overheating issue as it happens everytime while sometime it takes longer than others.

Using any camera app (CameraMX, Google Camera) causes a black screen freeze and restart via battery pull. This happens 100% of the time. Sometimes immediately, sometimes after a few pictures.

Is anyone still experiencing this? I've flashed so many times these last couple days that I just want everything to be somewhat stable so I can set it up for my daily use.

Thanks in advance.
