I followed these steps you listed here: I got the widget to work. I used these two files here.

First I installed the MyVerizon app from the play store. I went ahead and signed in through the fc's and saved the password. Then I went into the /system/priv_app/VzwSilentSSOEngine folder, I renamed the apk with a .bak extension, put the the apk I provided in and set permissions. Then I made a new folder named "MyVerizon" there in priv_app, set permissions, put the MyVerizon.apk in and set permissions. Then rebooted.

Now when I activate the widget it works. Tapping it takes me right into the app. Tapping the icon in the drawer still makes me go past the remembered number but then I'm in. There are no fc's.

I think getting build.prop set up with the correct device names meant I got the right MyVerizon app. Thanks for helping me out with it [MENTION=4111823]rayjr13[/MENTION].

I can't remember if it worked instantly or after I uninstalled the updates, but it works for me as long as I don't update the app. I changed my build.prop to SM-N910V. I deleted my old widget from my screen and added a new one. I'm trying to list every possible thing I did so that maybe somebody that knows more about Android and this phone can figure out the full formula - some of the steps I took may have been useless/pointless/redundant. But following your steps and using those two files was huge to getting it to work. I think the only other important/useful step I did was uninstall the updates for the app.

---------- Post added at 10:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 AM ----------

And like I said, uninstalling the app from the Play Store only uninstalled the updates. I didn't completely uninstall the app.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] stueycaster:
I hope the Kyubi developers will see where we're going with this and fix us up an update that will fix it. They need to give us a corrected build.prop, Verizon Login and maybe they will be able to correct whatever else is wrong.

I actually am a programmer/software engineer, but I know nothing about Android, and Linux isn't my specialty at all. I really wish I did know how to mess with all of this stuff and maybe I could do it myself, but ....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rayjr13:
The problem is the instructions assume a common starting point which I don't believe we were all on in regards to build.prop and downloaded build versions of apps from the play store. The issue is depending on what build prop you have you will get a different build from the play store. Then there are the builds in the verizon data fix and then there are the builds in the dropbox posting. So I'm trying to get someone to determine which combo of the possible four apps are working together.

There should be a system app of each of the two and possibly a data app of each of the two. I think I know the correct version numbers, but without stating the build numbers I don't know that we have the same things installed/downloaded.

my verizon data app

my verizon system app:

verizon login system app:

verizon login data app?:

anyone mind replying what they have including the build?

Here's what I have right now that doesn't work:

my verizon data app: 11.1.15 (108)

my verizon system app: 10.0.708 (37)

verizon login system app: 3.1.19 (229)

verizon login data app?: none [Can't download from play store]

This combo didn't work either:

Here's what I have right now that doesn't work:

Awesome ROM! Thanks to the developers and to the OP for bringing it over!

I've installed per the instructions, but I can't open S Note at all. It immediately crashes. Everything else seems to be working well. Any suggestions?

Interestingly, I can take an action memo and then choose to edit it as an S Note file without an issue. Just can't open S Note itself.

EDIT: Nevermind. In case anyone else runs into this issue, I just had to rename the 'SnoteData" folder on my internal storage to something else. Then I was able to open SNote without issue and it re-created a new 'SnoteData' folder. Now to figure out if I can move my old Snote files into the new folder...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Battlehero:
Change dpi to 560.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Epicardium:
Thanks! Look back at my last post. I found another solution right after I posted my issue.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Battlehero:
If you synced your SNote with your Samsung account then you could try to sync them back.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jcip17:
That's weird I never had that problem and I clean installed more than 4 times. Glad you found a fix! Now that I'm thinking about it, did you wipe internal storage when you flashed?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Epicardium:
Nope, I kept my internal storage in tact. Haven't seen any other issues as a result. What I've found is that the new SNote does not like files with the extension 'snb'. I had a few of those in the directory, and I think they were left over from the days of my Note 2. Even though my Note 4 never had a problem opening the snb files, apparently the Note 5 ROM does not like them. In any case, most of my files were in the newer spd format and I found that I could migrate those over without a problem.

So to summarize...if you don't wipe your internal storage when you flash this ROM, and your SnoteData folder has any *.snb files in it, you need to delete or move those files out before SNote will launch.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jcip17:
Yeah that must be the issue. Good old Note 2 haha. I have a friend that is borrowing mine and he loves it. Anyways lol nice job figuring it out!

Attached is where you find the active app version (build) in TiBu nearly impossible to miss.

But in the other attachment I like ES explorer because clicking on the system app will tell you the system app version and the installed (data) app version as well.

So I'd appreciate knowing what combo you guys have working.

Also did you only change SM-910V in your build.prop and not the trltevzw parameters as well before and after play store? as I mentioned before you will get different version from the play store based on both build.prop changes.

Side note: I also restore my android ID using TiBu when I switch ROMs
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] stueycaster:
Even after making the MyVerizon folder and loading the MyVerizon.apk into /system/priv_app with the proper permissions and rebooting I get this in Titanium. In build.prop I changed every entry that was noblelte to trlte and nobleltejv to trltevzw.

When you did the MyVerizon folder and apk did you just set it up then reboot or did you install the apk there? I don't know why yours shows both paths and mine only shows /data/app.

Also are you still running without Verizon Login?

Sent from my SM-N910V DE
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rayjr13:
If it doesn't show both paths then there was not an apk in both locations at last boot. System apps can only be loaded at boot. Data apps can be installed after boot.

I noticed you changed the build key param too. I started to do that too but I didn't. Wanted to see if that had an impact. I didn't see that part of your build.prop before.

Also in Titanium it will only ever show the active version(build) number fyi. It will show all matching package name locations but only the active version number will be shown. Same as the installed version number you see in my ES Explorer screenshot

Running without a Verizon login is the only way I get no fc. Right now I have both packages listed above in the system folder but both are renamed right now. so yes running without any Verizon login active
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] stueycaster:
I got it to work again. First I think by changing all the noblelte entries to trlte in build.prop Play Store is working right. I was able to get Verizon Login. I don't know if it really helps but there are no fc's and the widget works.

Second I installed MyVerizon from Play Store and logged in.

Then I put the MyVerizon apk in the folder in Priv_app.

Then I installed the apk from there. It installed in /system/priv_app/com.vzw.hss.myverizon-1/base.apk.

Then I placed the widget on my home screen. Of course it show disconnected.

Next I went into Play Store and updated MyVerizon.

When it came back to the homescreen the widget said "logging in" or something like that.

It sat there for a while without logging in so I went into the app and logged in. When I closed the app the widget was working.

Tapping it brings me straight to the Verizon site at the data usage screen.

Titanium shows it to be back in /data/app/com.vzw.hss.myverizon-1/base.apk. But it still only shows one path.

I hope I remembered all of this right.

Update: I kinda think Verizon Login might be necessary to keep this widget logged in.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rayjr13:
The apk ok installer cannot install to the system only to data partition. So hitting the apk in system and installing just puts another copy of the same apk in data. Two apps with the same version should cause a conflict on reboot. Until you reboot the system app doesn't exist to the ROM. That's why when you moved the data folder to system you could install the same version because technically you uninstalled yr when you moved and until a reboot the system app isn't "installed"

Question still remains when you downloaded from ps what build did they send you?

---------- Post added at 11:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

Pretty sure it just comes down to what I originally shared with you. The build.prop has to be just right to get the correct builds from ps. And the widget depends on interoperable my Verizon and Verizon builds for a given device. For us clearly the Verizondatafix includes a partially incompatible Verizon login. Will try it again maybe tonight. Thanks for sticking with it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Battlehero:
If you know which apk is working I can include it in the datafix
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rayjr13:
I sure wish I did. I made all the changes to build.prop this time. And got a completely different my Verizon 11.1.20(116). I still get Verizon login fc but my Verizon works and widget connects.

Doesn't appear that I ever got the right Verizon login. And I don't show any install button in play store
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] stueycaster:
Here's what I have.

A couple days ago I edited build.prop to this. I changed every entry that said noblelte to trlte and nobleltejv to trltevzw.

Then I got this version of Verizon Login from the Play Store. I kinda think it's necessary for the widget to update.

I have this in /data/app.

And this in /system/priv_app.

The widget would never work without both the /data and /system directories.

Update: [MENTION=5378210]Battlehero[/MENTION], maybe this will help. Feel free to ask any questions. I'll answer to the best of my ability and recollections.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] stueycaster:
I'm not sure exactly how the /system/priv_app directory came about. When I placed the MyVerizon folder and apk in there I tapped the apk and the installer came up. I installed it. But earlier I had copied the /data/app/com.vzw.hss.myverizon folder to priv_app. Maybe it decided to use what was there instead of the older version I was trying to install. Anyway after installing and rebooting Titanium showed /system/priv_app/com.vzw.hss.myverizon as being the default directory. Later when I updated MyVerizon it changed to /data/app/com.vzw.hss.myverizon with the 11.1.20 version. If this isn't how it happened then I don't know.

Update: Ok since Package Installer can't install to system it must be my trying to install that apk the default path got disabled then the one in /system took over.

Side note: Have yall used that System Clean-up facility in ES Explorer?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rayjr13:
I've never used those other new "features" they've added over the years. Figure they are just trying to get more people to switch over with flair.

System folder is loaded in recovery during install of the ROM, likewise some of the other flashes in recovery like the data fix may copy over items to the system folder.

So for this setup my Verizon is not included in the ROM at all not as a system priv app, system app, or user (data) app.

So downloading/installing from the play store will add it as a data/user app. Ps doesn't touch system apps. If my Verizon was in as a system app already and the version on ps was newer it would install it as a user app in data app and system version would remain in case you chose to uninstall updates or factory reset. If it were older it would not install at all from play store or via package installer alone.

Moving the my Verizon folder (apk and libraries) to system uninstalls the user app. Although it is in place in system priv app, it is not "installed" until reboot (or hot reboot) when the system is next loaded.

So you, effectively, installed a version as user app, uninstalled it from user app (moving to system), then reinstalled it as user app by running the apk with package installer from its location in the system priv app folder. But because the same version was in user and system you only see the user app copy as installed/active I.e. in TiBu.

Some apps do require a system version be in place to function usually for the libraries though.

However having two different versions of the same package name in different system/priv-app/ folders (App name folder and then package name folder) I've never done but maybe it ignored them both for some reason lol. Or it used whichever had the higher version number.

Anyway you still would have a my Verizon apk in at least One of the two private app folders, which covers the system app piece. And both of those packages would likely be lower versions than April 5 release of 11.1.20 that they updated since we've been playing around with this. And 11.1.20 would have installed as a user app obviously from play store via package installer.

We have the same build 11.1.20(116) as user app on my device from play store. Since we have closely matching build.props if not identical.

Your Verizon login is such an older version number. I'm running 3.1.24 (331). Mentioned before I also have 3.1.19(229) but not installed right now. Widget updated this morning but still get Verizon Login fcs with 24(331).

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 AM ----------

Ughh that explains a bit. A system and data copy of the exact same thing likely ignores the system copy altogether. I'd think.

That is until you update the user app. Then the system version would be a system copy after reboot. Then you'd have a typical old version in system and updated version in data.

---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 PM ----------

Do you still have fcs with your version of Verizon Login?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] stueycaster:
That version of Verizon Login was installed by PS. It's probably what's required by the Note 4 and the newer versions are for newer phones. I don't get fc's

After I tried to install the MyVerizon apk in system then rebooted Titanium really did say the MyVerizon path was from /system. I wish I had a screeny. The app was working but the widget didn't. It must have broke the /data path so the system path took over.

Then I updated MyVerizon with PS and everything started working right. I still have to ok it using the saved password but I don't mind that.

Is your widget working?

Sent from my SM-N910V DE
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rayjr13:
Yea widget works. So you moved the Verizon login app to system then?

Didn't expect 2.0.25(32) to be the version on the ps though. If so then I guess that would be the one to include with it libraries in the datafix

---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 PM ----------

Oh and I need it too lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] stueycaster:
No I left it in /data. The reason I wanted MyVerizon in system and data both is because I thought it might fix the widget. And in my case the widget wouldn't work until it was set up correctly in both places with data being default. The thing is I was stabbing in the dark about how to do it. But I kept messing with it til something worked. I don't have very much knowledge. I'm just obsessive. And compulsive too I guess.

I thought it might be like Viper4Android. A lot of the .irs' don't work without it being installed in system and data. The best way to install Viper lately is to use a flashable zip version put out by [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]. After you flash it you unzip the downloaded zip and install the apk. Being in system keeps it from being killed by the memory manager and being in data makes all of the .irs' work. It makes it work good.

---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

Before you mentioned being reluctant to change some build.prop entries. Did you ever change every one? Personally I think there should be no mention of noblelte anywhere in there.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rayjr13:
Yes I'm pretty sure I got them all I posted it didn't I? Either way I'm pretty sure I'm not seeing that play store login because it's so many revisions back from what's in the data fix. You installed the one from the your drop box I think which may have been older. The version you said you got from play store is lower than all the system versions I have right now.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] stueycaster:
I just looked at the pic you posted of build.prop. If that's what you have in there now you missed ro.build.flavor, ro.build.description and ro.build.fingerprint. They all say nobleltejv. They should be trltevzw. You're the one who told me that.

Fingerprint is what we had to change to keep the OTA Update service from auto-updating our rooted Droid Charges. I bet that's why you can't get Verizon Login.

Thanks I forgot to reply back that I just went ahead and deactivated my login system app and because the one in the data fix isn't for 5.1.1 note 4 and is newer. So with a newer version than what is recommended from play store it isn't available to download even if a correct version is there for your device. So anyway downloaded the build from the store and installed. So it's a data app and I'm working well. No system app active for login for now.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] stueycaster:
No problem man. As long as it's working right it doesn't really matter huh? I had my own misadventure yesterday. I wanted to poke around in the file system of a 5.1.1 rom. I thought I'd odin that new stock 5.1 rom that's available, root it, back it up then restore my current rom. Then I could poke around in the backup files. I've done that before.

It went Ok til I installed TWRP. When it rebooted it went into a bootloop. I spent hours trying to make it stop bootlooping when I'd reboot out of TWRP. I finally fixed it by reflashing Kyubi. Then when the bootloops stopped I restored my current backup. It's all good now.

That is except MyVerizon wasn't there. So I got it from PS. Of course it fc'd. So I went to that system vzwsilentssoengine directory, deleted it and rebooted. You know what? MyVerizon and the widget work perfectly without doing anything else. I don't know why it wouldn't do that the other day. I don't know but it works. Go figure. [emoji32]
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rayjr13:
I was going to tell you that. That when I deleted it to get to the play store version that the widget was still working. But obviously the login app is doing something during launch of My Verizon and is possibly part of the data fix so I installed the ps version to have just in case. But like you experienced it does not have to be a system app to function. Just didn't see if [MENTION=5378210]Battlehero[/MENTION] swapped it into the vzw datafix...yet.
