So other than the bt issues sone people are reporting, is everything working now, or are there still mms issues?

I've been holding off since we got root awaiting a good stable daily driver, but we need reliable texting as well.

Btw, has anyone seen a feature in any marshmellow builds allowing two bt headsets to share the same music playback? That would be nice to have during hikes and our evening walks wothout drain8ng two phones.

[MENTION=3308172]hasba[/MENTION]dr Since you've worked so hard on getting cm13 onto our note4s, have you contacted them on making it official? I'm sure they could lend you a bit of manpower to help you resolve the few issues you are still ironing out, and you deserve the recognition for making an official supported version a reality.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DerangedLoofah:
It's perfectly stable. No MMS issues for me at least. Calls are clear and battery life is great. Bluetooth works, just with the stuttering issue while unlocking your phone and the occasional stutter during normal use.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] VJmac15:
Xposed bootloops are Real, anyone successfully have this working?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Did you flash the one hsbadr provided? This is supposed to come with Xposed preinstalled, but if it isn't, you should try that version.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Gareee:
Awesome! Exactly what I'd hoped to hear. Soon as the wife is out for the day, I'll take the leap on my phone, and then do hers once I'm sure the method of doing everything is down. Does anyone know if all the info on rooting, migrating to a root able mm, rooting that, and then migrating to cm13 is up to date, or do I need to go back through recent posts to check for issues and alternate fixes for them?

Last root and os install for us was probably 2 years ago on our s3 phones, and the process now is more complex.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Check General and Development for what you need. Read through it all at least twice before you start, so you know what to expect. Use search, because, honesty, we here are all tired of seeing the same questions over and over when we've answered them one page back. (Now that I think about it, maybe I should make some sort of FAQ thread.)

Just do your research and you'll be fine. It's probably going to take at least two hours, so maybe set up VZ Messages and Calling on your computer or tablet before you start ;).

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] VJmac15:
What I did was uninstalled that version and installed the alpha 4. Also I believe my issue was activating several modules at once and rebooting. That caused my boot loop I believe. After I activated one module at a time and rebooted everything was fine!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
I did notice once that some modules caused my phone to bootloop a while back. I forgot about it. I guess it was something similar.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Gareee:
I've probably reread it already like 20 times, but as you mentioned, daily we see 10 people who don't apparantly even check the first post in threads.

Although I haven't seen one of those "I don't even have this phone but will it work on mine?" posts in a few days....

Well then go ahead when you can. It will take a while and you may have to restart once or twice.

Does anyone knows how to make the clean flash?im having issues after flash CPF3 and cm13 update. Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cursixx:
Do you mean clean flash a different build of CM13? In TWRP you can backup your current partition "not necessary if you dont need the data" and then wipe them. After flash the desired build of CM13 and open gapps

or

Are you talking about updating the bootloader and unlocking again?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] thetrangdam:
I have a stupid question, but is CM13's camera app is as good as stock camera?

The only reason I'm still using Jasmine is because I dont wanna lose the camera :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] osk4rin:
I was on Jasmine ROM and updated to CPF3, then flash the recent update CM13

But xposed framework is note active so that I have to flash via TWRP the xposed zip That is provided. After reboot I got this error( the system isn't responding do you want to close it? That issue is after flashing the xposed zip folder. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
You have to use a third party camera, I think. The last time I tried the AOSP camera, it had issues focusing. The AOSP camera is basically Google Camera, BTW.

I can't really provide any direct alternatives to the TW camera app, but I know Open Camera and ProShot (paid) are nice. ProShot is faster to open than Open Camera.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Bicknasty:
Haven't been on this ROM since 7/1, but in my experience, the camera has been the least great part of this ROM, particularly when compared against TouchWiz. It's difficult to quantify the differences, but you should know that, while this ROM has a good camera experience (though I'm not sure if issues I had with automatic exposure in the stock camera app when using the front camera or recording video have been resolved since 7/1), it isn't going to be able to compete with the stock experience, particularly in regard to capture speed.

If I recall correctly, my issues in the stock camera app were not present while using Open Camera, or Facebook Messenger's integrated viewfinder.

Wanting a better camera (and feeling that CM13 was running much too hot, too quickly while playing Pokemon GO [TouchWiz has been cooler running that game]) is why I ultimately switched back to Jasmine from CM13.

Hope my perspective helps.

Is anyone else receiving extremely low resolution MMS pictures?

Every pic I'm getting is about 480 x 480 and ~12kb
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
That's always happened for me. MMS is just low quality. At least, that's how I've seen it, even on TW.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mbr007:
Latest version 7/19 build froze in games and bt is still lagging.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] NJDEN:
Yes actually. This happened a few builds ago with the default messaging app. I wasn't sure what the issue was, but a screencap from a friends phone sent via MMS was unreadable.

For Bluetooth http://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/general/repeat-questions-rom-threads-t3422678
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Carousser:
Still no fix as of yet. I found a workaround when I was playing around with the settings: The main issue is it checks for a BT signal too much, even when connected. So when you unlock/lock your phone, it'll look for a signal even when connected. When it looks for a signal, you get the stuttering. WiFi and GPS also contribute, but those are not as bad as the locking/unlocking. My workaround was if you have daydream on (Settings->Display & Lights {Interface} and set it to clock, everytime the screen automatically times out, it will go to "daydream" instead of locking. This will produce a black backgroiund with a floating clock + some other info. This will essentially make it so the screen "turns off" but does not actually lock. Doing this, at least in the car (when I use BT audio the most) where I have a wireless charging mount for my note 4, has reduced my BT stuttering to a minimum. Having WiFi and GPS off helps too, but I usually don't bother turning them off and on.

Thing to keep in mind - I believe daydream mode only works when the phone is charging or in a dock. You can manually set it to "daydream now", but you will have to manually tell it to do it again if you do anything with your phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
I need to give you credit for this in my FAQ thread. I set that up so we can just give repeat questions a link instead of writing do much.

No worries, do what ya gotta do :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SlothlyDX:
Verizon messenger is an IM like hangouts. It does texting too but it utilizes the IM capabilities, so I assume that is why the pics look better. However I don't use stock messaging. I use textra. For pics I use telegram. Much better to send pics with an IM app versus texting.

Nice Job

Nice job. Should help lots of people out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] StayingSober:
So while this ROM is near-perfect at this point, I'm not having very good battery life. I thought maybe it was because I still had the original (widely known faulty) battery that came with the device on the release. Safe to say I ran that thing into the ground lol But yesterday I received my new battery, and tested it by doing a full charge/discharge cycle. Clean flash of 07/17, nano gapps, etc. I didn't even get 2 hours of screen-on time with only web browsing, the occasional video, and the occasional few minutes of gameplay, all while the screen brightness was set to about 1/4 brightness. Bluetooth, NFC, and GPS were all off when performing my charge cycle test. The biggest battery drains in stats were Google Play Services, Android OS, and a couple of apps that weren't even running in recent apps.

Has anyone been able to mess around with Kernel Adiutor enough to determine some pretty solid settings they'd like to share? Open to all suggestions! :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
I can tell you you shouldn't need to change kernel settings to get good battery life. Right now, that's worse than TW, and I've never seen that exact problem before. I do have a few suggestions though.

If you have Facebook, uninstall it and get Swipe or Metal instead. FB Messenger is fine.

Make sure you wipe cache after every single flash you do. It's mostly unnecessary, but the habit avoids any problems that could stem from cache issues.

Try redownloading the ROM. It's possible it got corrupted. I believe I'm on 7/17, and I get great battery life.

See what happens if you remove your SD card (if you have one). You may have to format it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] StayingSober:
Thanks for the helpful posts as always! I will definitely look into one of the Facebook alternatives you suggested, as that is definitely one of the culprits in Settings > Battery. As for the other suggestions, I usually take the same steps when flashing (wiping cache after flashing, md5 checks, etc.). As for the removal of the SD card, I didn't yet try that, but it has been formatted since unlocking the BL back in April so I suppose anything is worth a shot lol

Any suggestions for the temps the phone reaches during any sort of gameplay? The replacement battery doesn't get warm at all when charging like the old one did, but I worry about the heat the phone generates causing some battery deterioration over time. Thanks again for the help man!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
No matter what you do the battery is only going to last about a year. I'm on my third one, even though I haven't had the thing for even two years.

If you're worried about heat, you can always take the back off, but I don't think there's anything to fix the processor's, unless one of the kernel tweaks works.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] StayingSober:
I believe it! I held off way too long on getting a new battery until now lol but alright, I'll make a backup and then start messing around with some tweaks to see what works best. Thanks again!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SlothlyDX:
I can also testify that changing the governor affects battery life as not all governors are perfect. I usually go for intelliactive or interactiveX. I'm too lazy to tweak each component. I used to do that but it takes too much time.

Facebook, Instagram, and snap chat are huge battery suckers. Swipe has been amazing for Facebook so far, the others don't have substitutes. Like zacharee said, batteries die out as well. Anker has ana amazing warranty on all their products and great products at that. The price is solid too. I got 2 from Amazon and i have been very happy with results.

Also don't overclock or undervolt. It inky bets the phone in the long run. Not sure if you have but just a tip. Good luck
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Bicknasty:
For heat, lowering maximum GPU frequency to 600 MHz (I believe the default in this ROM is 800) should help at least somewhat. I experienced the same heat issue as you during any kind of gameplay. This ROM has consistently been much hotter than TouchWiz while playing games.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
I always find it to be cooler on CM, especially since it isn't already 90F before I open anything.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Bicknasty:
My experience has also been that CM is significantly cooler than TouchWiz outside of significant GPU tasks (YouTube streaming and gameplay), but even during light usage (web browsing) 90F on CM was exceptionally cool. Usually on CM, temperatures from 110-120F were what I considered to be the norm. When using YouTube or a game, though, temperatures would steadily climb to 160F (according to Kernel Adiutor) until I removed the app from the foreground.

Any idea what I might have been doing wrong?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Not sure. This phone, for all its greatness, seems to have been manufactured pretty inconsistently.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] spy9000:
Is anyone having issues with the flashlight toggle? It disappears after I select it.

No GPS, 0 satellites.

I'll be putting up a duplicate of this post as its own thread in the Troubleshooting section.

So, after flashing CM13, I simply cannot get GPS. GPS Status and Toolbox shows zero satellites, GPS Fix gets nothing after fifteen minutes, maps and Waze get nothing.

Here's what I've tried: (hint: Everything.)

- Clean flashing.

- Downgrading all the way back to unrooted 5.1.1, getting back into the unlocked CPF3 bootloader, then flashing CM.

- Getting a lock on another ROM and immediately flashing CM.

- Various different GPS status/fix apps.

- Replacing my GPS.conf with a GPS.conf from a link I can't post as a new user.

- Switching between 'High Accuracy' and 'Device Only.'

- Downloading a fresh copy of the ROM.

- Downloading and clean flashing the previous release.

- Calibrating the compass with GPS Toolbox.

- Clearing A-GPs with GPS Toolbox.

- Letting it sit for fifteen minutes or so with background GPS enabled in GPS Toolbox.

Probably a couple other things I'm forgetting.

To clarify, I can 100% get almost-immediate lock with 18 to 20 satellites on stock or Jasmine in 5.1.1 or 6.0.1. It's 100% not a hardware issue.

I've tried everything I can think of; I'm at my wit's end after three days and a couple of soft-lock scares.

Please send help.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] douger1957:
Since there haven't been many GPS issues reported, I'd suggest downloading a fresh copy of the ROM. To save time, I'd dirty flash it and see if that fixes it. If not, clean flash. As I recall most of the GPS issues dealt with sluggish performance and I can't recall any complaints in recent releases.

Check in

Just wanted to check in. I'm very busy right now and hope you have a happy holidays.

I won't be able respond to quotes, mentions, and PMs (too many!), but I'll continue building ~weekly builds ASAP. VZW devices support both CDMA and GSM; so, users on similar Snapdragon variants (SPR, TMO, CAN, ... etc) are welcome here to test at their own risk. Moreover, TMO and VZW variants have very similar kernel configs. The differences are mainly in build.prop and blobs (though VZW blobs seem to work fine on GSM too: TMO and CAN). Regarding the remaining issues, I'll probably need to wait for VZW to push 5.1.1+ update, since I'm still using old blobs from 5.0.1.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
You're welcome.

What? They're very active. Check the very long list of merged changes. However, they're not responsible for device-specific issues. We may just need to update the vendor blobs (I'm using 5.0 blobs, not even 5.1, for 6.0!).

I found that Google Voice, regardless of some bad reviews, is much better than VVM: free + works on both TW and AOSP/CM + voicemails accessible from computer...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Wilsonb:
OK, maybe I can contribute in finding more recent Blobs. I assume we're looking for T-Mobile specific blobs.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
T-Mobile blobs won't work on Verizon (Verizon Note 4 supports both CDMA and GSM while T-Mobile variant supports GSM only).

I'll update the blobs when Verizon releases any update: 5.1.1 or 6.0.x.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Wilsonb:
Hi , thanks for the response.

Yes, I have been using this Rom with SM-N910T3

I am thinking of branching off for T-Mobile specific version since there might be some T-Mobile specific bugs/issues. I would add T-Mobile blob replacements..
