[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TheNeatoBandito:
Hello everyone, how goes it? I'm a bit desperate for help at the moment, hoping to getting some insight from individuals that may have a bit more experience than I do.

Quick thanks to tx_dbs_tx for this ROM, it was going well for a solid min, but I've hit a major snag and I'm really trying to get things back to normal...

Basic background, I was on Marshmallow-PE2, following the instructions to properly flash this ROM, I used Odin to jump back to Lollipop OK1 using the .tar file here http://xdaforums.com/note-4-sprint/general/stock-tar-odin-flashable-t3250864 and then followed the OP of this ROM to the letter and was up and running without any issues, and this ROM was doing great for over a month.

About a month in running this ROM I had sudden shutdowns under 20% battery life, sluggish performance, lock-ups, and all that jazz. Read up on what I could find and assumed it was a bad battery, of which I was still running a stock Samsung battery, so I got a new battery assuming that was the issue, inserted it and was hoping everything would go back to the level of function that the phone was experiencing the month previous, but no luck. The new battery charges great, holds a charge like a champ, and dropouts under 20% have all been corrected, but the reboots, the sluggish behavior, minor lock-ups, and all around strange issues all continued to dag on.

Decided that perhaps the ROM needed to be redone, so I went back to full stock using the TAR file hoping that the Note 5 Hybrid ROM was just freaking out, but no dice, even stock OS had the same issues. Then I proceeded to install the Note 5 Hybrid ROM hoping it would give me another environment to work with and see something change, and still having the same issues.

I can turn the phone on, leave it running, don't touch it, and more or less things seem fine most of the time (may or may not suddenly decide to reboot or not respond to the power button). If I'm lucky I can swipe around the primary screens, maybe send a text or something, look at my gallery or read something, but eventually something will catch, could be Google search, could be my settings, sometimes even texting can cause issues, and the phone will lock and not function, maybe reboot (maybe not). Sometimes the phone will completely shutdown and won't respond to the power button until a battery pull is performed.

This one has me stumped. I've got experience rooting and un-rooting my Note 2 from way back when, tried several different ROMs on it, I've even had it completely crash on me and lose all my stuff only to rebuild it and start over. Most of what I'm doing with my Note 4 seems to be on track with what I've done in the past with my Note 2, but I've hit a serious wall and cannot afford to screw this phone up. So any help or insight is greatly appreciated, as I would love to have this ROM fully functioning again on my phone. Thanks in advance for taking any time to talk to me. Peace!

Just to be sure, have you created a nandroid backup and done a clean wipe? (cache, dalvik-cache, system, etc)

I was running into those issues on the N5 Moar hybrid port with each kernel option. While making sure I did his instructions for the battery. Only thing different was the phone ran hotter on the stock kernel& for me it was at about 30% when the phone would do those things.

I have flashed the Marshmallow update (official) then odin'd TWRP so I could flash TX. ... Mr......Slimmed Marshmallow PE1 ROM & the battery seems okay now. Still goes pretty quickly to me but it doesn't reboot or do those things anymore. Only thing I noticed is apps suddenly FCn at random without that message. I can be playing Madden Mobile and it just closed........... no biggie so far cause reopening the app it runs fine.

Just to give you ideas......
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TheNeatoBandito:
I did actually create a nandroid just before going back to the stock OK1 ROM. Since the stock ROM left my phone unrooted and without superuser permissions, I opted not to try restoring that nandroid until I had rerun the install on the Note 5 Hybrid ROM. Both the stock OK1 ROM and the Note 5 Hybrid seemed to have issues with the sluggish behavior and the sudden "going dead" as I would call it, where the phone won't respond to the power button without a battery pull. I did eventually restore the nandroid, but it didn't last long as nothing really changed.

Currently I have used Odin to reflash the stock OK1 ROM, and for the better part of the day the phone was seemingly doing fine, no lagging or non-responsive button issues, and about an hour ago it wouldn't respond to the power button without a battery pull again. Nothing running, not using the phone, just picked it up and tried to turn it on and nothing much happened.

I'm starting to get concerned that this is getting down to a hardware issue and not a software issue (as many people seem to be doing just fine with the ROM's I've been using through all of this), which I don't want to drag a hardware issue out on a thread that doesn't actually cover those circumstances. I've got one or two more ideas to try, but may end up just switching lines to an older phone to get a working line again.

Thanks for the insight, I may play around with the idea of going to another ROM series entirely, not overly excited about the idea. In all honesty the biggest issue I have with Marshmallow is the default app design... by far the dumbest thing I've ever dealt with and left me enraged when I first used the Marshmallow OS. I'd be willing to use an outdated Kit-Kat setup to avoid that again. If someone has fixed the default app system in Marshmallow, then I'll give it a run.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ninja_unmatched:
Actually so far I don't have a problem with it. I like that it asks for each permission when installing an app. Some apps Like Facebook messenger do not need all those permissions.

I'm also not totally sure what you mean though. I'm a little behind in my stuff right now. You talking about the auto closing of apps?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TheNeatoBandito:
What I was referring to in my previous post was the default app preference design between Lollipop and Marshmallow. On Lollipop (and to the best of my memory from back in the day on Kit-Kat as well) when select a file such as a video or PDF, or pressed a link in Google, the phone would offer a selection of apps that you could use to either view the file or open a link or whatever. You could then choose to say "just once" or "always" after selecting the app you wanted to use.

On Marshmallow the first app you select automatically becomes your "always" app and you have to clear your app preferences literally every time you want to use a different app for any reason. I searched online for a solution for a short minute and the only option was to use a 3rd-party app to regain the basic function of the "just once" option. As simple an issue as it sounds, this one single function was a deal breaker for me with Marshmallow, at least until it's corrected.

I will agree with you that I do like the permissions system they introduced in Marshmallow, where apps are given permission one at a time, but I knew I was going to root the phone and use a custom ROM at some point, so I opted to go with Lollipop to regain the default app selection design.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ninja_unmatched:
Oh okay yeah it doesn't always do that with everything. I've been given a choice of a few apps at times & other times it just gives you that popup showing you where you can change it.

So far as I can tell if you do have more than one option installed it will ask you which one to use. If not the popup shows. Other times if an app needs another app to do something so far that has not given you the option. The times it has asked me it was the initial question but never again asked. That actually starts to get on my nerve when being asked each and every time to open the same app. If say I choose to use another app one day to open a PDF I'll just use the app itself to open it.

I get it though but it's more about finding your favorite & best ways to open & handle files you use. Once you do that it saves you that extra finger tap from doing what you do repetitively. If you change your mind about an app just clear the default for the action...

I notice though certain actions it will ask each time. Sharing of course & related actions. PDF files I noticed it does do that if you say open it through the default My Files manager. But if you open through ES File Explorer it will ask each time unless you check off that box. I bought ES File Explorer cause it was good & like the extra features plus the paid version looks better anyways. So that auto default hasn't been a real issue for me so far...... but asking everytime has been a Lil annoying lately.... especially if I'm rushing through the day. Maybe the ES File Explorer will be what makes Marshmallow okay for you.

Hey i know this isnt all request hour tx if and when u do make a n7 port anyway way i can implement the mipop app that was in your moar port.. that was very handiest app. That would be awsome thanks

Here it is straight off my phone.

Love this ROM.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hammerchucker:
Note 5 ROM: "Activate this device", "More", "Reset Cellular Data"

So I went and chose this option b/c I was throwing back on 3g.

I backed up my ROM before I did this. Afterward, after a few days I realized I had no phone and text, only data. I restored to no avail.

I flashed OK1 via ODIN, wiped internal, and flashed OK1 and it booted and now have all services. Then restored my OK3 Note 5 OS with no probs.

I am assuming that the option I chose in "activate device" was never ported and N5 stuff was written when I chose this option it wrote to a Note 5 partition address.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Consumers:
Was having problems not receiving texts from iPhones so I tried resetting the carrier through the ##72786# dialer code knowing that it could mess with the working cell services moving from OK1 to OK3. It did and now I can't reactivate; is the only choice to Odin and reflash? Just want to check if there's an easy fix first.

Also was wondering if anyone had similar issues with receiving iPhone SMS on this ROM or in general. Never registered any devices or numbers with Apple but wondering if deregistering iMessage worked in this case (tried on Apple's site quickly but didn't get the verification code back).

Has anyone been able to get the Gear VR working? I remembered this was the last rom I used where I was still able to use it, but looks like the latest version doesn't let you.

Wifi not working. Is it possible to have the french language?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hammerchucker:
Can i report a few probs I've had over the last year plus?

-Wifi hotspot: i use this regularly lately. I cannot tell any specific incident, but after turning on/of the wifi hotspot at least once, when i turn it off the hotspot icon in the pull down stays dim green (as opposed to bright) when i turn it off and I cannot reactive through the pull down menu. I was rebooting but then figured out that if I go into the wifi hotspot setting and actually use the on/off slider in there, i can turn on/off the wifi hotspot without reboot (and negate the dim green in pull down menu).

-4G LTE to 3G: Also, been having issues where i draw down to 3G when i never did before. Not sure if this is towers and my location in a building (I am new area of my town but full LTE and even LTE+ is in my area, and I'm only about 2-3 miles out of prior routine). If I turn off data and then turn back on it's still on 3g but if I go airplane mode and then turn back on it goes back to LTE (and stays).

-Reboot on drop: I have an issue with when the phone is kinda thrown down on the table kinda of casually (like with your work keys, with a thump with that zerolemon battery), one day I get reboots, other days I dont. I bring this up about this rom because myself and my son (sprint note 4 also) had this issue with this ROM. When we were on stock(ish) ROMs, we never had this problem (zerolemon or stock). Not sure but wanted to bring it up. Something with the acceleraromator interaction? IDK....

Also, any chance (i know, long shot) of having the samsung flipscreen case lockscreen menu being added? :P

Lastley, any word on a note 7 ROM? :) Thanks again for all the work on this, and thanks for the upgrade you're working on!!!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Burlycrew:
I'm actually having that Same issue with my phone restarting when setting it down a little roughly or dropping it but I'm thinking that's going to have something to do with the zerolemon battery, since I also have one installed but Ive never had the stock OS with the zerolemon battery installed so I don't know if it would happen with the stock rom. But as far as the network connection problems, I haven't had any no matter where I go I'm mostly always on 4g lte it's rare when I drop to 3g and stay there, unless I'm driving through rural areas or closed parking lots but that's understandable. And I'm pretty sure TX reffers to the note 7 rom when he says his working on the update, I'm sure we're all anxious to try it! [emoji1]
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Drayspencer:
My phone was doing the same thing at one time so I took the piece of foam that was in the ZL package and taped it, along with a piece folded cardboard like substance to the back side of the case with foam facing the battery. This caused a snug fit and stopped the battery from be jarred loose from it's connections. Hope this helps....

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TheMrNiceGuy:
I'm having the hotspot issue as well. I couldn't get it to work at all with this rom. Another issue I am having is that the camera will not focus at all anymore. I think I'm going to try his MOAR port and see how that works while I wait for the N7 port. I've used his Hybrid X rom in the past and it works really well.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
Check your bootloader with this app linked below or use Galaxy Tools to verify it.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo

You need OK1 bootloader. If you just restored a backup of this ROM, Odin the bootloader from the baseband and bootloader thread in development forum (same forum as this thread). You may need to start over with OK1 stock tar per OP install instructions with Odin (find tar in the tar thread in general forum if that's enough to get your issues resolved).
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] italymafia:
Is it possible to flash this ROM from official MM (PK1) ?

How?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] 13druber:
You would have to Odin ok1 tar first.

Hi there, tx_dbs_tx... is there a way to fix bluetooth issues? im trying to connect a pebble smart watch, but whenever connection initiates, it asks for bluetooth permissions, and when you give the permissions hitting YES, it FC inmediately. Please, help!! I want to stick to this awesome rom... this is the only issue I have.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] doubledragon5:
I just tried mine, as I set it up a few hrs ago, and not having a issue.. Did you start with a complete stock OK1?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] robtudares:
The wifi does not turn on, why?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
Check your bootloader. You should be on OK1 if you followed the OP install directions.

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=70108415

If you need the OK1 stock tar, you'll find it here:

https://xdaforums.com/note-4-sprint...-flashable-t3250864/post63868221#post63868221

But there is a bootloader and baseband thread in development forum but stock tar is recommended, especially if you're coming from Marshmallow.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] doubledragon5:
How did you install the rom? Here is what I did, and will repeat some of what is in the op.

1) If coming from another rom, do a factory reset 3 times first.

2) Wipe cache dalvik cache, system data next 3 times

3) Format data 3 times

4) Odin full stock tar OK1

5) run through the set up

6) install TWRP again, but do not root.

7) repeat steps 1 and 2 . Even if you did not install anything during set up.. I find that if you do not do this, you will have issues..

8)Flash rom and nothing else, keep stock kernel

9) When done do not reboot, pull battery and hold power button in for 20 secs

10) Put battery in and reboot.

11) Once it comes to the welcome screen, make sure you have at least the cell signal triangle showing. If no LTE Turn off WIFI, if LTE shows up for a sec, then goes away turn WIFI back on. If LTE shows again, and stays let it sit for 3 min before you complete your set up. During set up, do not connect to a WIFI network just yet.

12) Finish set up. If you get a "Google Play Services Stopped" ignore it..

13)Once you are all set up, go to play store first to see if it loads, it might take a couple of minutes.

14) Once play stores loads, close it and go to Setting> System Update and do a PRL update.. If it says no PRL update no worries your up to date. Do a Profile update, and after that you should be done.. You DONT have to do a Reactivation as sprint already knows you have the phone.

I had issues when I first tired this rom, and left it for a few weeks.. Went back made sure I did everything right, and now it works great, and I do not plain of updating again to MM or any Note 7 Roms.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] robtudares:
Yes, it was the bootloader, now everything works, at first the camera did not boot but I reinstalled the rom and now without problems I love the performance that has the battery many thanks
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] i3oots:
I'm trying to go back to stock no root ROM and I used the OK1 tar file. For some reason I think I soft bricked it because it won't load and shows the little android icon with it's stomach open where you can see the inner workings. I don't know what it's called. It said it passed so I don't know where the issue is. Has anyone gone to another ROM and if so would you so kindly point me in the right direction? Thanks! :good:

Edit: I let it run it's course after the 11th time and I finally got past that android icon I was talking about. I turned it on and now it's good. Not sure what happened.

Edit: Never mind I can't get into recovery.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
If you flash stock tar, the initial boot will make a brief visit to stock recovery before booting system.

If you wiped your data, the initial boot won't take long but if you didn't, the user applications must be optimized and the boot takes several minutes depending on the amount of apps and how cool the phone is running during this time.

You say you got past that but now cannot get to recovery? Well, stock recovery has that falling down Android with open belly you describe and you can't do much with stock recovery but OTA update or wipe caches or factory reset. Maybe you're accustomed to custom recovery like TWRP? You'd have to Odin that.

To reach stock recovery with stock ROM, you'd have to power down or pull battery and use three button press hold of vol+, home plus power button until phone vibrates.

Maybe you're OK if that works? Your goal is met, right? However, unless you want updates or constant reminders, you should disable auto update.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
So what problems are you currently having
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] i3oots:
Yeah that's what was happening, it would try to go to the stock recovery. I wiped everything even internal sd card. Once the stock rom took I used Smart Switch to update my phone. After that everything is good. Now I just want stock rooted and I'll be happy with that.

I can't seem to install TWRP. It fails when I use Odin to install it.
