I would like some advice and instruction

Hello to all.

I am ready to try this ROM.

I am currently on SAC23's N5 Port. It states that my phone is now SM-925P

I am on the COG5 Baseband

The Build Number is LMY47X.N910PVPU4COG5

Software Version is N910PVPU4COG5

I read to go to OK1 bootloader and baseband. This can be done via Update or Odin.

I have Odin 3.07 currently. Will this work with the flashing of OK1?

I understand the proper flashing procedure and will FOLLOW IT TO THE T!

I am just a bit concerned reading the flashing of the OK1 firmware.

I will put all of the files on my ext card prior to wiping EVERYTHING internally. Is this correct?

Anything missing. I have flashed before, but I have only changed baseband and bootloader a few times and I get a lil nervous.

Thank you in advance and I look forward to running what appears to be the best ROM out here for the Note 4 Users.

Blessings

OTA update won't work for rooted phone; use Odin to update. You'll find the tar with latest Odin release linked on page 2 of this thread but it's in the general forum.

Yes, you got the general idea. Just follow the steps in OP; they're more direct than general.

But I suggest you backup, wipe everything but extSdCard and format in TWRP and power down before booting to download mode to Odin with latest Odin and Odin defaults.

Running this rom since day one. No problems so far! Just flashed BeastMode 2.2...

Question - is there a way to make all of my sounds lower volume (ringtones, notifications, system)? I work in a cubicle and even at the lowest volumes, I'm feeling obnoxious.

I tried disabling Atmos, didn't seem to have an affect.

Thanks!

mike
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kngdmond:
Lol...I haven't figured that out either. The volume step from 0 to 1 is loud. This question has been asked previously but I don't think anyone said it was something one could easily change.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
Not having that issue. Dolby Atmos and Xtreme both have level adjustments. Both of mine are off.

I don't have the max volume silence on earpiece or loudspeaker on calls either. I think the only change I've got in effect on system ATM is /system/lib/soundfx/libeffectproxy.so Sprint Note 5 and Note 4 share the same file but many sound mods decrease the size of this file by indiscriminate swap. Not sure but the removal of code by sound mods may not be ideal for our phone?

Adjust volumes in kernel
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] arielovin:
Thank you guys for the help. Leaving the google app alone worked. Now i'm facing another issue :(. When i open up the camera it says "camera failed" and closes. Any help please?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] resarfekim:
How do I do that? I'm on BeastMode 2.2.

Thanks,

Kernel adiutor works well
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] resarfekim:
I installed Kernel Adiutor and went into Volume settings. Set all gains to -28.

No change in volume, and the settings do not appear to stick. Next time I go into Volume settings, they are back to 0.

Does this work on your phone?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kngdmond:
I installed the Kernel Auditor, went into sounds, reduced the main sound level gain, turned on set on reboot, then I rebooted. I got a notification that said the settings were applied. I re-opened the app and the sound levels are set at 0. Will test to see if settings stuck.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kenjesse:
I honestly do not know. Would suggest you backup in recovery, flash the mod and let us know. Worse case you have to restore your backup or do a clean install.

I just did it and it worked. Lolly volume boost.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TheUnsub:
Uh........they only way that would happen.......that I know of.......is if you delete the "Camera" app!

Did you delete the app titled "Camera?" ?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] joetarney:
My camera doesn't work from the lock screen.

Netflix error (-9) fix

Been really enjoying this ROM. I ran into an issue today where Netflix just stopped working. It was definitely working at first, but it started hanging today saying "sorry we could not reach the netflix service (-9)" error. Tried everything - rebooted, cleared data, reinstalled, reverted to an older version, cleared dalvik and rebooted. No luck.

If this happens to you, I found this fix:

go to /vendor/lib/ and delete (take a backup of it) the file liboemcrypto.so, reboot and it should work!

I didn't even have to reboot, I just moved to another location as a backup, restarted the app and it was working like a champ. I haven't seen any errors related to this change, but if I do I'll update this post.

Props to Bonestack, who posted it here originally. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60914761&postcount=19

As soon as I hit the camera app, it opens for a split second and immediately closes. Google camera works fine. Thinking about reflashing, but I don't really want to. HAHA
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jhill110:
Do the requisite wipes (and format data imo) ... Re flash and you should be good to go. Test before you start making changes to the rom. If all is well and then not after moding... Well...

This is not a rom issue.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GavinMazey:
This is caused by running a custom non enforcing kernel which i think is required for root unless you use systemless root. Its not an issue and there is no fix thats just how it is. Thank samsung.

---------- Post added at 11:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 PM ----------

I am having no issues with camera at all. Works from lockscreen and works from homscreen. I have not removed or froze any system apps.

I personally stopped removing system apps on samsung due to issues like this poping up. There are so many samsung apps with dependencies to other samsung apps that removing one can mess others up.

I remeber back on the my note 3 if you removed this one useless samsung app autorotate broke. Cant remeber the app but i thought it was useless.

Went into mixer_paths.xml under system-etc

Scrolled down, found speaker. Replaced the "84" value with 74 or 76, much quieter. Simple fix for now.

Been using this tweak for years
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TheUnsub:
So........if what I've been reading in here is correct.........then the Beastmode 2.2 kernel should fix my battery woes on this rom?!

Because my battery life SUCKS now! ?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JFay22:
Not necessarily in my opinion. I'm on Beastmode 2.2 as of yesterday but was on stock kernel prior and experienced zero battery issues. my battery life was actually better than it was on stock OK1. So Beastmode may work, but your problem could be related to not completely resetting battery stats and recalibrating with battery pull and holding power button for minimum 20 secs procedure from [MENTION=1503720]tx_dbs_tx[/MENTION] 's instructions in OP. I'm not saying you didn't follow instructions, maybe it just didn't work or button needed to be held longer. I held down power button for 45 secs to be safe. I hope Beastmode fixes it for you because battery issues are not a known issue with this ROM for the majority of users. If kernel doesn't fix it let everyone know in the forum to see if we can help fix...don't give up!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] joetarney:
Did the camera apk's and my lockscreen camera still does not work. Any suggestions?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] fantasylovevn:
i'm @ rooted OG5 baseband. how do i upgrade to OK1 BB???

sorrry for my bad English
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MrClean69:
Tried that, made no changes at all to the rom and the camera is still a no go. Going to Odin back to stock, do all the necessary steps and reflash per the instructions.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TheQuicken:
Read the OP!:p
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] fantasylovevn:
What is OP! ???? I really dont understand. My english is very very terrible T_T
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TheUnsub:
The only thing that's getting to me about this rom is the battery life! I did everything in the correct fashion.....and I know this just for the simple fact that I'm not having the same problems as everyone else.....but coming from the stock rooted OJ6 rom tx put out a while ago.....I would have to say the battery life on that rom is A LOT BETTER than this one! I even did the battery pull/power button hold per the instructions....and I held it for a full 60 seconds! Everything was to the T! The rom is the bomb.....but there is NO WAY my battery is supposed to go from 100%.......to 97% during a 20 minute drive to work with no activity!

Maybe I'll use the battery fixer appy thingy and see if that can solve it!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MrClean69:
OP means original post, post #1, it will have the steps necessary to flash this ROM.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] resarfekim:
Thanks man! I remember doing this on the SACs port, but couldn't remember the details...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] schlepprock:
I would say you either have a bad battery or a rogue app running. My battery life is great on this rom.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Kris_b1104:
I'm in the same boat as you. I came from COG5 and followed all the instructions to the letter including the battery pull and internal wipe, everything, but my battery life isn't that great, it was better on tx's hybrid rom. I've tried beastmode 2.2 kernel and it didn't help, now I'm trying AEL v8.7 but the battery life isn't even close to what I was getting on Hybrid 3.0. I'm even using Greenify and Amplify with Xposed. Do you guys have any other suggestions for battery life? I friggin love this rom and don't want to change.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MrClean69:
Took it back to stock, unrooted OK1, verified everything was working (data, gps etc). Even did a factory reset just to make sure.

Followed the steps exactly as described for flashing, again. Didn't do anything to the phone or rom, just let it fully boot up and get through the wizard and the camera is still force closing. So weird.

It's not that big of a deal to me, I can use a third party app, just bugs me cause there is only a couple of us having an issue with the camera. And I know I followed every step correctly.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TheQuicken:
It means that any question you have about flashing this ROM has been answered in this thread from the beginning to the end. Do some research first. TX put together great instructions.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] resarfekim:
I don't see it mentioned in the OP (edit: oh yeah, there it is in big red letters!), and I'm not sure if others are doing this... but when I did the wipes, I included Internal Storage, and also did Format Data. Then I flashed the rom.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MrClean69:
He mentioned doing the Internal Storage and I did that. I did everything 6 times (minus the SD storage). I was considering the Format Data, might go back and try that, if that doesn't work I'm just going to roll with it. The ROM is too smooth not to use it.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TheUnsub:
I guess I'll just have to scour through my apps and see which ones are using up all my battery! I have the same apps as I did on the OJ6 rom......with a multitude of apps deleted from the system! If I can remember my battery life got even better after I found that I don't use that "Google" app much......the one where you can search from anywhere and use those cards for weather, news and such........after deleting it! On this rom if you delete the "Google" app you lose your "Recent Apps" button function! Can't think of anything else that would be eating up my battery but the rom itself!

Normally my battery would be between 80 and 90 percent at this time in the day.........with moderate usage. This is moderate usage and my drain is kind of eye-popping! ?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gdempsey1:
I use Snapdragon BatteryGuru (play store)....3 day learning curve to learn how you use the phone then turns off everything you're not using as needed with the option to turn apps off completely unless selected...and its free....I start at 100% at 6am and still have over 60% left at 7pm after using all day...phone does not rest....might work for you
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kennethbb:
Any news on a update yet? I cant wait for a MOAR base port i missed there roms.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
OK, If you are having significant battery drain problems then something is definitely causing it. If it IS the rom itself then there will be a line of people making the same reports as you. Another thing, i have tested this rom with several people who help me test the roms and we all have the same battery experience. None of us has had poor battery life. If one of the members of my test team had reported bad battery life then i would have found the cause and not released the rom until I found the cause of that person's report. I can't tell you exactly what is eating your battery or if your battery is bad but i can tell you for certain that a rom will not give some people good battery life and give other bad battery life. That's not how things work. There must be a reason for your not so good battery life but you will have to learn how to find the cause. and don't rule out a bad battery... especially if you had been running another rom that really put a beat down on your cpu and battery. i can think of a couple of port roms that were brutal on peoples' batteries and cpu. thankfully we have better options now. Ask for help but please don't post comments herre that insinuate that this rom is the cause of your bad battery life. Just ask for help and give as much info as you can so people can understand the steps you took to get to the point where you are right now.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
Agreed. I got same battery stats and posted them here; some believed them to be unreal or manipulated (how or why would I do that?). I use latest Beastmode and SuperSU 2.52 -Beastmode has been stable and easy on battery since OG5; Lollipop before that was poor compared to KitKat.

The one screenshot posted showed Bluetooth on and weak signal. I'd think use, location and environment has something with that. Usually comes down to use; I can vary my screen-on time in half with use but may still get one or more days with moderate use. Heavy use with mostly browsing with Wi-Fi to sync still gets me through the day on a single charge. Hard to deplete a full charge in a day when getting 9+ SOT with Wi-Fi.

S View cover case doesn't work

S view case not working with rom. Is there going to be a work around for this? Also if i do have my case on it the volume buttons doesn't work. But wish it would work.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jhill110:
Good idea
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
Workaround for what?

My phone has always been in a case. Buttons work or I find another case. If you're saying that's a problem since flashing this ROM, haven't seen that issue reported?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Kris_b1104:
Thanks for the info. What version of Beastmode are you using? And are you running Xposed or no? I have a Feeling Xposed is hurting my battery but I can't be sure, that's the only mod I did to the rom after installing.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lumichael0:
S View cover case doesn't work

Sorry, i meant when i use this rom with my s view case.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
I haven't ran Xposed with this ROM yet but my results with Xposed haven't been any worse than without. Last version of Xposed I ran was Wanam unofficial version 78.

I'm using Beastmode 2.2 for standard battery and SuperSU 2.52 beta.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MrClean69:
Didn't help, camera works on stock OK1, no mods to the phone or ROM after flashing. I know it's not the ROM, only been a couple of us with the issue. Just weird, wiped everything but my SD card (several times), verified everything I know how to verify.

Doesn't matter now, got another camera app and got this pretty much set up the way I like it. Just going to roll with it and enjoy it.

Can the change be made using Root Explorer, or is it more involved than that? Says I can't change that because System is read only.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] resarfekim:
I changed it through Root Explorer (Open in Text Editor). I get a popup that says it's read-only, and prompts me if I'd like to re-mount as read-write.

Battery has rocked on this port, Running AEl 8.7 with a few tweaks in kernel auditor. dropped 20 perecent loading about 20 themes back to back while playing star wars commander and did not get hot.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Kris_b1104:
Can you please PM me with your Kernel Auditor settings? I'm also running AEL v8.7 and my battery life is average. Currently just using stock interactivex governor.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kngdmond:
I'm having my first battery draw. Dropped 15% in 30 minutes while just playing music. Its NOT the ROM though. Google apps just pushed an update to my phone and the draw is occurring after the update. Gonna do a battery pull/reset and leave the Google update to see if it settles. If not I'll roll back and test again from that point.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BigMosley:
Is there a way to remove the usual annoying stock loud volume warning without Xposed? Thanks.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
I will not do workarounds unless I absolutely have to. I will fix it right by finding the actual cause and add, replace or modifying the system files responsible for the Sview cover features. Until i get to this, it will just have to be a broken feature. I will have to find time to figure it out. I have a lot going on with MOAR port as well as other minor things i still need to look at with the rom. There is sooo many things going on with this rom and the process of making everything work on our hardware it would blow most peoples' minds. it is a very dificult challenge which i welcome but just give me time to look into these things.

I didn't see you mention anything about running Xposed intil now. this is the very first thing that i would suspect to cause problems. Uninstall it or wipe everything and start over with a fresh clean flash of the rom. People need to understand that the best way to troubleshoot and narrow down issues is to start from the basics first. Start by flashing this rom and running it AS IS and see if you get different results. Get a good feel for everything before you flash mods... especially Xposed or other framework mods. This is elementary and should be the very first thing anybody should do before posting about problems that they have no idead what the causes are. So start back with a clean slate which is this rom without mods.

Yes it's an easy smali edit. Once tdunham gets the latest mods & build finalized for 2.1 i will add these features to the port and get it tested and rolled out as soon as possible. THEN i will have time to work on my own modded Ultimate N5 port with these kinds of common mods. Until then we just need to appreciate what we have for now and know that these mods, etc will come as soon as i can get caught up. It's all downhill from here. The hard part is 99.9% done.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Leoisright:
Great rom tx. I can tell you this won't be an easy fix. I worked on it for so many hours with sacs ported rom. I believe its a sensor issue. Whats weird, is during the splash screen the sensor works, but once the framework loads it stops. Im curious if there is a different sensor location in the note 5 and their sview case and this doesnt align right.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Leoisright:
It's so much easier to just answer the question politely. I read through 70 pages to search for an answer and its not an easy task. Especially if their English isn't very strong. Remember, we all start somewhere and talking down to someone that is new doesn't help, only discourages.

I'm only helping here. I've been the OP of a thread with over a million views and was so awesome when everyone helped. Even if it was simple questions. That's how we learn, that's how we grow, that's how we contribute.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JFay22:
I'm running xposed v80 with beastmode 2.2 and battery life is great. Standard battery SuperSu 2.52 beta. Xposed with many active modules hasn't negatively impacted battery performance.
