[ROM] [6.0.1] CyanogenMod 13.0 [Mar 23, 2016]

I've added a new

STABLE

build to DEVDB Downloads. Some of the changes may require clean flash to regenerate the databases. Clean flash is recommended; please don't report any issues if you didn't clean flash this build!

Folks,

I can see that only a few users who really support this work while others are just downloading... If it's about 5 users who appreciate the work, I could invite them for dinner with each update instead of keeping this thread open :D If you do support this work, show your appreciation by at least hitting the damn THANKS button :good:

Enjoy :highfive:

What's the best way to jump from 2/14 build to the new build if I have Xposed? Should I just do a clean flash, or removed Xposed then do a clean flash, and reinstall Xposed?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
You don't need to remove Xposed, just do a clean install and install Xposed afterwards.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ct_tec313:
thanks hsbad, you brought my note 4 back to life, someone stole my mxpe 2015 and i had to go back to this phone and i must say brother it runs better than the mxpe im impressed wil send a donation on friday thank you a thousand times my friend.......
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TTA1326:
1 - As mentioned in post #782, I have no back lights on the soft keys. I have turned them on\off, put them on\off screen, clicked Reset, etc, no changes.

2 - The SD card will format now and it is visible from my laptop, but it is NOT visible to TWRP. I copied the Xposed zip to the phone and TWRP doesn't see it or the files that were already there (the ROM image and GAPPs). In fact it doesn't see anything under the \sdcard directory except the \twrp sub directory.

3 - TWRP will not mount or browse the SD card either

4 - I get a message box saying "Process system isn't responding. Do you want to close it?" on EVERY single boot. Clicking Wait or OK doesn't seem to do anything.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DrPhant0m:
Currently on the 3/21 build...

I've got #1 (no back lights) and #4 ("Process system isn't responding") as well.

I didn't even notice the backlights were off til I read this post. I'm so used to where the buttons are.

I'm going to try to flash today's build soon.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jpcalhoun:
If I was experiencing the problems you mention I would uninstall xposed, complete wipe (cache, data, system, delving etc) and do a fresh install...start from scratch with a clean install of everything.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TTA1326:
I'm definitely going to do a full wipe a reflash tonight or tomorrow night, but I don't know how to uninstall Xposed (other than the APK). I made a full back up before I changed from Definitive ROM to the CM13 2/14 build and Xposed was installed then, but I didn't bother with a full backup this time. I also did a TiBu this time and restored my non system apps + data, haven't done that before. It was quick, and easy, but it's not all working lol!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
You don't have to uninstall Xposed framewrok since CM ZIP writes a system IMG meaning that your system partition will be entirely replaced. However, restoring apps with TitaniumBackup is tricky:

It can deal with the updates of system apps (e.g., Gapps) as user apps and so it may overwrite system libraries.

It removes system libraries if associated with app uninstall (e.g., it removes GNU STL library that affects automatic rotation and dependent functions).

Restoring Xposed modules or root apps may cause issues.

However, I do use it for app backups and restores... CAREFULLY!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TTA1326:
Thank you sir. Do you think I might be OK if I do the normal factory reset, reflash the ROM and GAPPs, and don't use TiBu this time? I can reload 30 or so apps and restore the data to 2 or 3 and be fine, and I would really like to avoid a complete wipe!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
You can dirty flash over a previous CM13 build, at your own risk, but don't report any issues! This might not cause issues, but it isn't recommended.

The best way to test a new build is to wipe everything (including "Android" folder in the internal and external sdcard) and flash the ROM ZIP + the latest gapps for SDK 23 (Android 6.0); you'll ruin the system if you flashed wrong gapps. Then, you could restore your apps in groups (to find the apps that may cause issues, if any).

Update: Make sure you're using the latest version of TWRP!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DrPhant0m:
Off-Topic... Seeking expert advice on creating "apps.zip"

[MENTION=5868929]hsbadr[/MENTION]... What do you use to sign zip files for flashing in recovery? I've tried using Titanium Backup (+ZipSigner) to create a zip with all of my apps to flash in recovery... and I've tried ZIPme (JRummy) which also offers this option self-contained... and no combination of apps will complete the 3-4GB file I'm trying to create and sign it. TB alone will make a big zip file, but I can't succeed in signing it separately with ZipSigner or ZIPme. TB+ZipSigner (option to sign the zip with ZipSigner upon creation of the zip) will end up with a 1kb file which has no apps in it. ZIPme will add all the apps to a zip, but when it "finishes" I'm left with either a huge zip that won't flash, or a 0b file that can't be opened.

Do you have any suggestions?

I'm trying to streamline my installation of new builds by flashing all of my apps in recovery after the initial OS install, rather than doing it through Titanium Backup, which takes hours for all 300+ of my "must have" applications.

---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 AM ----------

Is this folder wiped in TWRP when you do a normal reset? How about when you select "dalvik, system, data, cache" in advanced wipe?

I've never manually removed these folders, because I've figured that they've got important stuff I shouldn't remove (like app data that Titanium Backup wouldn't restore... I dunno)

The "latest" version is TWRP3... but the "official" release is broken for our phones, and hasn't been fixed on the official repo yet (it's been weeks). You've made an "unofficial" build which hasn't been widely-publicized, right?

What's the latest stable version, and when was it built? I'd like to make sure I've got the latest and greatest.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
You can use any Android kitchen from XDA such as Archi or SuperRs.

I won't recommend creating ZIPs larger than 2GB, which is supported by new versions of TWRP but not all recoveries/tools (not portable). Dirty flashing is fine, but not recommended especially for testing or reporting bugs. It's better to make backups via TB and carefuly restore app data only.

/data/media/0 or /sdcard files are NOT wiped by TWRP, and YES, they includes user data that won't be backed up. So, I always create a ZIP for them serparately using ADB shell or ES explorer, if needed. "Android" folders on both internal and external storage includes app data that may cause issues with different versions of Android. So, I do remove them when switching ROMs or upgrading/downgrading to a a different version.

The one I posted is the latest ~official build. It isn't official just b/c I'm not the official maintainer.

Are there any bugs listed in this build? Was thinking of upgrading from jasmine rom but I want 1 with all the features
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] herrdrjonz:
I just reverted to Jasmine 4.3 as the battery on this was crazy bad; literally watched it go from 18% to 7% in 1 minute and the phone was cooking. The camera kept crashing and even once rebooted the phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TTA1326:
I wiped the entire device last night, including the SD card. I put a second SD card in with nothing but the 3/24 ROM and GAPPs on it. I flashed the device, cleared the cache, went back to the first SD card, and booted. I formatted portable this time. I did NOT allow Google to download any apps and I only restored data with TiBu on a single app.

I've installed quite a few apps that I use and the entire device only has 2.28GB used. I've never even seen an Android device with such a small foot print! Anyway, lots of things are working much better now. I can get incoming calls again (didn't know it was a problem until last night), my entire 8K worth of text messages restored 100% with SMS Backup for the first time, the phone is the most responsive I've ever seen, etc.

However, I still see these...

1 - As mentioned in post #782, I have no back lights on the soft keys. I have turned them on\off, put them on\off screen, clicked Reset, etc, no changes.

2 - I get a message box saying "Process system isn't responding. Do you want to close it?" on EVERY single boot. Clicking Wait or OK doesn't seem to do anything. AND, now it also appears after the phone has been screen off for a long period. Don't know how long, I will have to play with it some.

So, it still has a few kinks, but overall, it's the cleanest and meanest Android I've ever seen. I will have a good bit of time with it at work today and I'll report back if I see anything else.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] morcant:
Hi hsbadr,

Thanks for all of your hard work, these recent updates have made a huge difference in performance and battery life.

I've factory reset, removed Android directories on internal and external storage. Flashed to 3/24 build.

Mic audio not functioning in Skype. Works fine for voice calls, google hangouts, etc...

I dirty flashed to 3/25, wiped dalvik/cache. Still no mic in Skype.

Lights on soft keys are working for me now.

Thanks again!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
You're welomce.

I'd say that's an issue with Skype itself since the mic works fine for the other apps. Moreover, check this thread which is active since 2013 till now!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] morcant:
Hi hsbadr,

It's certainly possible that it's a skype issue, however I was not having this issue with your previous builds after clean flash.

I've confirmed that OK Google is disabled. (One of the first things I did after resetting).

I'll keep looking.

Thanks for the feedback.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
Try to find and enable/disable TTY mode in Settings/Call or install a different version of Skype! I'm testing Android N and can't chech this right now.

Update: I've found something that may affect mic input of VOIP calls for Skype, Viber, and similar apps. Coud you test mic audio with Viber?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] morcant:
By all means, continue your work on Android N...

Just reporting my issue, if I am the only one then it's clearly something i am doing and i'll figure it out.

If other people are having the issue during testing, they'll report it here too.

Thanks for the great ROM!

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------

yes I will test viber and get back to you
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
Can you capture log errors using "adb logcat" in Skype call?

You should see something like:

E/audio_route( 342): unable to find path 'low-latency-record'

If so, I'll send a fix for it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] morcant:
Viber works fine

I am seeing low-latency-record, screenshot of logcat here: http://imgur.com/c4UZD8X

The 3/25 build is amazing! Almost all the bugs from previous builds have been fixed. Having only a few issues to report:

1) tile(s) are disappearing from the quick settings menu. Specifically, the hotspot tile disappears after editing and only shows up when you are editing tiles.

2) fingerprint app will not remember any of my prints and the option is not available in the play store settings.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TTA1326:
Ok, I admit it. I dirty flashed the 3/25 build since I clean flashed 2 days ago. But... The backlights are working again! This is the only thing I still see...

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jpcalhoun:
The last time I dirty flashed a CM build I got the same messages. The only way I got rid of it was to start from a full wipe and a clean flash of the ROM, gapps and the ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TTA1326:
I can obviously try a clean flash, but I'm not sure it will fix the problem. I totally wiped the phone and SD card (with both Android folders) 2 days ago for the previous build and clean flashed the ROM and GAPPs and had the same problem. So, this morning I dirty flashed the new ROM and newest GAPPs and the problem is still there. Maybe I'll try it tomorrow...

Status Update

I've tested the latest build and everything works fine for me including Fingerprint. I'd expect improved stability, especially for the Camera and Fingerprint, when we update the blobs from the forthcoming Marshmallow update.

As for Fingerprint, it automatically wakes and unlocks the device

only if

you successfuly added a fingerprint that is reported in Settings/Lockscreen (1 fingerprint set up), as shown in the screenshots bellow.

​

Happy Easter!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] colbyrainey:
Thanks, this build truly rocks! Do you have any suggestions for me since I cannot get the fingerprint app to save my prints? I tried clearing data on validity app and even reflashed the rom, but it takes me through the wizard each time like I've never enrolled a fingerprint.

Vehicle BT

I have tried for three versions to get the BT to connect in my Chevy Avalanche and it connects then disconnects. Seems something is going on with the handshake. I took every measure to include reformatting the phone and rebuilding from the ground up with the latest version. In other words no dirty flashing. Everything else seems to work pretty good although the "wait for" message in the very beginning of a reboot comes up but selecting wait makes it fine. I saw several others posting vehicular BT connection issues. It will handshake, but just won't maintain it. Any help would be great since my job (and the law) requires me to be hands free in the vehicle.

I knew I was holding off on flashing updates for a reason! Looks like there were a lot of updates rolled in. Do some of those changes indicate that you've gotten your hands on new Samsung software?

Why is it that I can register a fingerprint without a problem... but I can never successfully unlock the phone with my fingerprint?

This was an issue with the stock TW software as well... so I'm not blaming [MENTION=5868929]hsbadr[/MENTION]. Is anyone else having this issue?

I was hoping that the CM integration would improve on it. I guess not.

I'm on today's release. No problems to report so far. My soft key lights are working... and I don't think I've seen the "Process System has stopped" message on boot, but I've only booted a couple times.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] colbyrainey:
Yes, I have had the same problems (fingerprint and process system has stopped on boot) with the 3/23, 3/25, and 3/29 builds.

I clean flashed them all. Going back to 3/25 as I just flashed forward to see if fingerprint was fixed for me on this one.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
TouchWiz 6.0.1 update for Sprint Note 4.

Fingerprint works perfect! The enrollment is a bit tricky though. You need to add fingerprint in Settings lock screen and complete it to the end (until you press DONE) or add another fingerprint until it takes it (reporting: 1 fingerprint set up). Then, power off the screen and swipe your finger over the home key (it'll wake the device and unlock it).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DrPhant0m:
I didn't have a problem getting the little fingerprint icon to show up in place of a lock on my lockscreen (enrollment). But, when I swipe my finger across the home button, the fingerprint icon turns red and a little error message pops up saying Couldn't process fingerprint. Please try again.

I tried this with the screen off... and it didn't wake up, let alone unlock. I tried swiping it at least 30 times from all different angles... until I started to feel weird about doing it so emphatically. It takes about 10-12 swipes for me to register a fingerprint, and I think this is because it wants to learn the "full" print. This is what I don't get. Why is it that I can register the fingerprints easily, but I can never unlock the phone 10 seconds later? Again... this same thing happened on stock touchwiz software too... so I'm starting to think it's a hardware issue. Or a problem with my fingerprints.

Unless there's some "trick" to making it work the first time, every time... I'll probably shelf the fingerprint reader and go back to having no lock screen security.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
I had no problem setting it up on the previous build but I can't get it working on the 3/29 build. It never shows "1 fingerprint set up" and I've tried at least a dozen times.

Edit: It finally worked the next time I tried after posting this, figures.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DrPhant0m:
... so it worked to register the fingerprint, but does it work to unlock the phone? Does it work with the screen off?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
Yup, it unlocks the screen once I turn it off and back on. Here's a pic of the lock screen showing the fingerprint to unlock the screen. I can't get a second fingerprint to register but at least I have one working.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DrPhant0m:
Yep... I can get there, but I can never successfully unlock the phone with my fingerprint. More power to you.
