[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rainabba:
Actually, requesting root for 5.0.1 in this forum is quite appropriate and very different from unlocked bootloaders, rooted firmware or rooted kernel. In fact, installing a new kernel or rom usually requires an unlocked bootloader and getting that done usually requires a root method first so there's some chance of writing a new recovery. With root, methods such as what is now known as SafeStrap (the result of a technique discovered by Birdman, matured by myself and then claimed by another person who's made a habit of claiming others' work as his own) can allow for quite a bit of customization, but typically not so much as a new kernel, let alone different ROMs.

Right now, the state of the Note 4 is that only the Dev Edition (DE) has much of anything going on. You'll find all sorts of frustrating and unclear information about KingRoot, but it's of almost no use unless you think you can abuse it to search for a more complete and permanent root method, but if you knew how to do such a thing, I doubt you'd be here asking for root :) If you see ROMs or anything else advanced in this forum that doesn't specify it's only for the DE, assume it is.

I've been around since the days of CupCake (and built WiMo roms previously, along with some of the earliest ROMs and rooting) and based on experience, I'd say that the only chance left seeing root on the retail Note 4 is if another root method (new as of today/2015-12-28) is discovered elsewhere that applies to 5.x/5.0.1 OR the Note 4 sees another OTA and we get really lucky (unlikely).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonycstech:
exactly why am returning it and getting S5. But even with S5 its unclear if towelroot will work or not.

I assume it will if S5 was not updated to 5.0+ but runs older 4.4.4. Is this correct assumption ?

Thanks for informative reply.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cursixx:
Yes but I would do some reading in the Verizon s5 forum because there is a build cutoff for root on the s5. If you're getting a new s5 from Verizon the chances are low you will get one without the latest build at this point
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonycstech:
Seller said its still on 4.4.4 which is good news.

I just now need to find a thread on how to root 4.4.4 S5

Whatever you do don't take any OTA updates, some are forced so get it rooted asap and then use the pre-rooted lollipop images

I see you have t-Mobile. Are de t-mobile Internet and mms setings included in the rom that will be great
[Touch GSM ROM Development] sdamion:
Flashing now will report back.

Great clean rom but you can remove dthe windows update and add the kaizer 5/6 tab home plugin. Also change this msn version to the version where the contact arn't copied to the contact list.

Also you can make it your signuture to add the black team plus ipone icons its nice.

The icones are discused in the dutch tweakers.net forum http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_messages/1239969
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bram_smulders:
The settings are applied when the network wizard runs on first boot.

I'm busy building the second beta, update is deleted. There's a six tab homeplug in this rom?

Where i can find this livemessenger app, mayb have a link?

The icons i'm creating completely new icons just for this dutch touch rom. Mayb i'm gonna use the profiles tab icons from tweaker.net, very nice touch:)

Hi Bram.

We have dutch forum like XDA for rom developing and support. We also collect apps for pda`s like msn. You can find the live messenger here: http://www.allaboutphones.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=397&p=1434&hilit=live#p1135 en thats also the site and forum for dutch rom discussion.

[Touch GSM ROM Development] sdamion:
Yes but the t-mobile internet setings don't work. My apn is internet en de auto update puts internet-act. But al other settings are fine. So leave the update as is.

You can also remove streaming media because tcpmp (with the flashvideobundel) is a better player for streaming media.

And install the patch disable deleting cab files after installation.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] mikkelnl:
I agree ;)

Great work Bram!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] sdamion:
This isn't a beta rom. Its stabel and works 100%. hope the new build will be as stabel as is. But we will see because you know what can happen when removing programm's. Just like the Wizard roms.

Hope more dutch people will test this rom. Keep up the good work.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tribal27:
Maybe we can port this one to the trinity? :D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] mark672:
Just flashed my Touch and I agree this is a very stable version.

Waiting for the final with bigstoarge :-) with orange icons etc WE DUTCH LOVE ORANGE :-)

Request : is it possible to incorporate the HTC Touch Commanager with 10 buttons ???

Thx for all your good work
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Biffert:
Wow Bram, great work! Which extra programs are included in this ROM? Or is it a vanilla version?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bram_smulders:
thanks for your props! but it's still under construction, and i must make it bigstorage and all. I hope there's not alot of difficulties to delete programs:P

i'm working on it!

gr. bram
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bram_smulders:
There are no extra programs, just the basic wm6 touch ****, still must delete/add programs and such.

And i must make it orange offcourse!!

Gr. bram
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Biffert:
Allright :) Orange (ofcourse) rules :P Ill keep my eye on this ROM :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] mikkelnl:
Personally, I wouldn't mind if there wouldn't be any extra programs. I'd love a Dutch version with big storage and......... orange style icons :p
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bram_smulders:
Hmmmm...

I cant figure out how i must launch the aero.tsk at first boot, i tried a autorun, and the custsk file, but no result. Anyone knows about this?

gr. bram
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
Nice going Bram.

I just now in the proces of dumping the T-mobile rom.

Can you add which Apps you have added.

Because as far as i know the network wizard isn't in the official build.

Also so isn't WLM (those Bastards).

I thought that using the new extract tutorial would allready get a bigger storage versio? As it doesn't put the ext rom in.

Don't let everybody hurry. Take your time. Not even having flashed it yet good achievement.

Allready saw that indeed in the dumping and making the back up there's allready enough room for customisation in graphics.

Will try...... but first make my own backup.

Yes i have just flashed my official T-Mob backup.

I can start testing. (Ugly t-mobile icons, but i do like their darker TSk)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] sdamion:
Noonski could you share the T-Mobile rom dump thanks in advance
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
Just uploaded to rapidshare it's in my new sig ;)

BTW how's the new Radio holding out on T-Mob NL?

And Bram it looks pretty big Storage to me, 48 free and 20 free.

It does seem a slight bit slower than stock weird.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] mikkelnl:
I'm on T-Mobile NL, and using radio 02.97.90: works like a charm and best battery life so far in my case...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
Flash Lite 2.1 is toch echt een Must.

Oke my first feelings.

Did a second flash and it still feels slightly slower than the Stock T-Mobile Rom (isn't even the fastest dutch Stock i've seen)

Even though green is better then the ugly purple Tmob stuff, keep in mind that a lot of people are going to modify their animations.

So unless you plan to add orange touched animations, having coloured Cube icons isn't worth adding yet....

I agree on adding TCMP instead of streaming player, but i don't know for sure there actually is an OEM version that has Flash playback included.

You could try to manually change the OEM files to also copy the Flash plug ins.

It looks like it's time people start making OEM packages that install to different folders then Windows to optimize speed, the whole new Touch plug in just makes this a necesity.

Just add the registry key for no delete cabs to any of the RGU files from any OEM package, that should do the trick.

Personally i like pBar more then HTC X, but i've only managed to make an installer.cab file. Which in effect should make it a bit easier to make an OEM pack out of.

Just looked at the TCMP OEM package and it seems you only need to add any extra missing plug-ins to the folder for flash support, no file editing needed.

Maybe this is a good test.

I don't know if there is an OEM package for the Kaiser 2.X plug in that goes into Home.

But if there is, you could try taking out all the double plug in graphics from Windows, cleaning it up a bit more.

Nice rom runs stable i'm going to check how far BTstatus goes on your clean version without freezes.

Omap on standard Radio, freezes on 312MAX (which i got working on clean WWE big storage version)

To me this a nice performance test. Till now it's stable on 299. (which is also a good indication)

[Touch GSM ROM Development] Dannydeman:
Hey thank you for the Dutch rom and the effort :) Can't wait to have a nice custom dutch rom!

EDIT: WHen I get some problems with my device, it would be nice to change it back to the default T-mobile rom so they won't notice it was changed. Is this possible with the dump?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] schmia:
Ok let's try this one..

Regards,

Schmia
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
Yes it is.

I haven't made a full dump with Radio and SPL but to be completely snaeky i would flash those to for waranty.

Every time you flash an SPL you overwrite the patched version so they won't see this.

The DumRom in my signature is OS only.

That's all i had time for tonight. Will look into making full official dump with ExtRom SPL & Radio soon. But i reckon you won't be bricking your phone as Flashing seems to go smoothly on touch. (to be honoust Flashes don't kill phones, Poeple kill phones)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
On with my reviewing.

Nice did you put those extra HTC backdrops in the images folder or is this standard.

BTstatus froze on 299 now trying 286.

(i recommend using the highest possible because if you look at the rest state powerdrain, there is no difference in Overclocking)

Maybe get rid of the network wizard. It still does not have the correct settings fot T-Mob NL. (i'm gonna check the provisioning file see if i can change this)

Since my settings are so easy i don't really need the wizard.

Also i like to use the allready present My ISP & Work Network settings to ad the GPRS settings as these don't have proxy settings. Dang what was the password again for the provisioning file? Or just fogitaboutit, it's 300 k which is big.

I think you need to either ad ext rom for your prefered tsk or make a custom OEM. You only need to add empty DSM and RGU file into it. You probaply know now where to get custom install ID. And then add the registry setting for which home screen to use to the RGU file. I think this way you don't need ext rom, i don't know which method you were trying to get it in.

What i also miss from start is Total Commander.

MS Update? Does it actually do anything? Isn't it weird to get MS updates while you are using a patched version?

It takes space that's what i say.

Also again maybe you can consider using a more tranparent home screen plug in as it makes it easier to custumize the easy way. I'm only saying this to make it mor market atractive ;)

The sixth tab can only be enabled manually. Unless you can think of a way to get rid of the Quickdial registry key in HKLM\Software\OEM\MASD\.

Nope hold on waitaminute.

All you need to do to enable the 6th tab is change the HKLM\Software\OEM\MASD\Quickdial value to empty ;)

This shouldn't be to hard adding/changing this during cooking the ROM.

I'll also look up the registry settings for higher quality BT Audio as it is bad compared to Wizard, and ELF has bt 2 which should handle higher rate anyway. It's sleepy time but i'll find you some nice needed tweaks.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bram_smulders:
hey Noonski,

Thanks for the big revieuws!! I'm surely using your advice in the process of developing. This beta release was just for me checking how it would handle on other touches, i' must say everybody is quite pleased with the performance.

Still must delete the unessicairy stuff from the rom.

This base is by the way not the official t-mo rom but the official htc dutch rom, so it has networkwiz and livemessenger.

The process of building is a bit slower becouse i bought a new computer yesterday and i must install al the apps on it, end of this day i mayb can continue building this rom!

[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
Double Post

Me Make BooBoo Double post.

So you got a nice new Speedy Computer heh!

Good thing about cooking Touch at the moment is that it's no Port from other device so very comppatible with other devices since there's no big difference in Builds. This just means there will be a very good custom kitchen just for touch because it looks nice and easy to cook to.

Coming weeks i'll be delving some more into big storage creation (don't know yet if they are using the compresion method in hypercore do do this), making Oems, and trying the Hypercore kitchen. So you will definetly be getting some Q's from, me about cooking to.

From Tweakers:

[HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings]

Add new dword, Value name=BitPool; Value data=48 (Decimal)

Modify, Value name=UseJointStereo; Value data=0 (Decimal, Originally 1)

For BitPool:

Microsoft suggests the following bitpool values for optimal buffer sizes.

30 - Low audio quality

40 - Medium audio quality

48 - High audio quality

58 - Excellent audio quality

Chose one you like. I think 48 is good enough.

For UseJointStereo: use 0 instead of 1, then you got the real stereo.

Like i said before, the Touch should be able to handle full stereo and Excellent Quality easily with Bluetooth v2.

I haven't tried intergrating regs as i got stuck after getting stuck extracting a NBD rom that was totally stripped.

But i think i'll have a nice pBar OEM in which i'll but these settings, and more, into. (looks like single exe Apps shouldn't be to hard)

Now where was that damned no cab delete setting?

Ah password for provisioning is 1234.

Now i need to find which folder is for t-mobile NL, because i see that the wrong settings could be fixed.

<parm name="UserName" value=""/>

<parm name="Password" value=""/>
[Touch GSM ROM Development] sdamion:
Im gone try the latest battery status build see if its stable. And noonski the network wizard is a great tool the only thing you need to change is the apn and the mms send size. All other settings are correct.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
No in my case it need to have internet as acces instead of internet-act.

And also it's not putting in the tmobile user and tmobile password.

I don't use MMS so i rarely check these settings.

Also the Wizard can be installed seperatly and it can even run from SD without installation at all.

It's nice to have pre installed for simple users. But i reccon none here are simple, or at least they shouldn't be.

What i do is.

I install the network wizard to card.

Copy the program folder to main dir of card (not cut)

Uninstall wizard. Then manually put pack the copied folder to program files.

I can now always start the wizard from SD card.

I'm going to make a small collection of handy programs that do not need to be either pre installed to Windows folder or device.

Some installers do need this as they have dll's they need to put into Windows.

I have seen that some settings for providers are more complex then the ones i need.

But believe me once you have seen the Touch run with a 12 MB pagepool on 312 overclock, you will understand that performance is is way cool. And the less goes into the Rom the quicker it can get. Then again it's Bram's Rom and i don't know where his focus lies in.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Rubenmobile:
I succesfully created (en tested) a Dutch 1.11.404.1B Bigstorage + 4mb pagepool original HTC Rom. No Ext Rom.

[Touch GSM ROM Development] PeterBoekhoudt:
Hi Bram,

Have you tried setting it to xp sp2 compatibility (maybe make a shortcut for this) ?

It can also be the DEP settings, it's in Computer-Properties-Advanced-Performance-settings-dep.

Hope this helps.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
Most probaply on your new machine your processor has full Virtualisation support. I'd check out VmWare and run an extra version of XP virtualized.

Or better yet cook a Vista version with a real Admin account and without all the extra crap with v-lite (since your into cooking anyway ;))

Also be sure to set Run As Admin in compatibility tab, or rightclick run as admin.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bram_smulders:
Hi noonski,

Thnx for the advice, my previous computer was running vista and xp in dualboot, so everytime i was cooking i booted xp. Never experimented with vista though.

Let the cooking resume!!

gr. bram
[Touch GSM ROM Development] sdamion:
Tested the latest battery status beta and the touch @ 286 Mhz. And i got no battery drain. I have my Pushmail and a email account. So every thing is looking good. And i don't see the need for a big storage. 6meg more or less won't make any differends
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
Yes that's what's so nice as i said before, Maxing your Overclock does hardly impact power drain.

Good thing about Big storage is that the WWE versions i tested were faster.

BTW DO NOT INSTALL WLM 1.4 Fixed over Dutch WLM.

Bram if you cook WLM into the ROM be sure to remove th present WLM parts. They cannot co exist. Tired ti install several times with everything disabled on homescreen but it froze three time on third splash.

I'm almost completing an OEM package with some reg tweaks and pBar. Will have it finished tonight. I you would like to test this in the kitchen i'll know for sure how to make OEM packs for single exe files.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Dannydeman:
Als ik jou was zal ik overigens de HTC KAISER 6-tab TABSETTINGS plugin installeren. Deze werkt heel erg stabiel op mijn Touch, en werkt goed met HHC Customizer. De nieuwste homeplugin versie werkte bij mij zeer kut (1.5 is dat dacht ik).

Had allerlei problemen met het weer, kon de stad niet eens veranderen. Ook was de nieuwe plugin veel langzamer. En de nieuwe plugin is niet goed compatible met HHC Custom 0.8. Dit is ook de rede dat ik de nieuwe Biogstorage rom niet installeer die deze week is uitgekomen.

(en ik wacht liever tot jij klaar bent :) )
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
I know most of us here are dutch, but try to keep it universal.

If any one else is cooking out there please try to see if this package turns on 6th tab and really changes audio settings. But be aware this package is aimed at Dutch ROM only. (different folder structure for start up items and menu.

Bram i'm depending on your balls here. I ussually hate making something without testing it myself. But i'm keeping out of the kitchen for time reasons (Junky danger). Worst that can happen is you get stuck on third boot and need to reflash from bootloader.

BTW how does it pick up flashing from Bootloader (haven't had any bad flashes yet)

(Nope sorry i had after changing Pagepool from 12 to 8 without going back to original first and it flashed just fine)

Also have you thought Resaving some of the none transparant files to 24 bits PNG files for reduced file size. I tried this once but overwriting has bad effect once installed, optimizing graphics in Kitchen hasn't. Can save you at least half MB in windows folder and memory usage.

Gotta Go.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] mikkelnl:
Just a short note to express my appreciation to you guys, looking forward to the rom, but take your time so it rocks! I have no experience with rom cooking, but if there's something I can do graphics-wise (for instance orange icons or something): PM me... ;)
