Did you flash bootloader in the BL slot of Odin as opposed to the AP slot? Not sure what would happen if you flashed on the AP slot
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tmushy:
No I use the AP slot. I always use the AP slot.

So i went back and downgraded to 5.1. Ran all the steps to unlock bootloader and upgraded to marshmallow CPD1. Then I ODINed the latest files found in OP for CPG2. Everything seems to be working fine for the time being.

I did notice in the reddit note 4 section that someone running stock mashmallow had the same issue with the latest update.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] yearn2burn:
BL is for bootloader. If problem recurs try the BL slot. Not saying I know for a fact APslot won't work, but why else would there be a dedicated BL slot?

Solid root explorer w/ TiBu...

I use Solid Explorer, and titanium backup uses it to gain root access. I discovered this by accident:silly:. But TiBu couldn't read it's backup file until I tapped on the extstorage file, then Solid Ex. opened it up asking for read/write priv; granted, And TiBu then recognized it. :victory:

I came to this ROM from MOROM. It had Dobly Atmos and Viper4Android cooked in and they worked fantastic. I just tried flashing the DAP_r6.5.zip file and while Dolby Atmos is inteed installed, it doesn't seem to run properly and there is no noticeable effect when turning it on or off. I posted this in support and troubleshooting but no one responded. I think the members of this forum are much more helpful so I'm posting here. Thanks!

---------- Post added at 10:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------

I upgraded from MOROM 5.0.1 to this ROM (VRU2CPF3.r-3.2) in early November. Now I see there is a new firmware. I've read the OP at least 5 times but am still not clear what I must do to upgrade. The upgrade from LP to MM was fraught with issues (could not obtain root) and took me a good 7 days and a couple of dozen posts to finally get it working. If the firmware upgrade involves going back to stock and rerooting then I'm not ready to go through that again anytime soon.

Can someone please give me a step by step to go from VRU2CPF3 to the new VRU2CPG2 firmware? Also, what do I gain by going to the newer firmware?

Freeze adapt sound and sound alive
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I think the easiest way is to flash the full firmware in odin. Then I just let it boot all the way up, power off, go back to download mode and flash twrp. From that point you can just flash the latest build in twrp and your done. I tried once to just flash the individual parts that are needed but I kept having little issues here and there and I figured flashing the full tar ensures that you get updated properly. As far as the difference between the two firmwares, imo the pg2 one runs a lot better overall. This is one of the few roms that I haven't had to use any kind of custom kernel or tweaking app (gov tuner, lspeed) to make it faster or get better battery life. It works great right out of the box.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
Thanks! I'll try that. This may seem like a dumb question but I've never really understood this aspect of modding. If I do a nandroid backup in TWRP before upgrading, can I do a nandroid restore after flashing the new ROM or do I have to rely on Titanium Backup for that? I guess the question is: does nandroid include all the system files so that a restore will take me back to the previous build? I assume it doesn't touch the firmware. Am I right?

---------- Post added at 10:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 AM ----------

I could not find "adapt sound". I froze sound alive but it made no difference.

hi guys, i have flashed both bootloader and moedem , then i flashed latest zip ...but some how battery is not charging, when i connect it to charger - icon on the top is flashing and pop up comes connect to orignal samsung charger... PLZZZZZ help me to fix it
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Yes your nandroid includes system and user apps if selected. When you make your back up, the system partition has your system apps and system files and the data partition has your user apps and all the other data for that particular backup. If you restore a backup while on this firmware, you'll most likely have to flash the pf3 modem as well or you'll have WiFi issues. The bootloader will be ok. With tibu I wouldn't even bother backing up system files, it seems like even when you try to restore them on the rom you backed it up from it doesn't work most of the time.

---------- Post added at 11:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 AM ----------

Are you sure that your is not something with your charger? Maybe try using a different cord or charger block. If you've already tried that, I would probably go back to recovery and wipe everything except your SD and ext sd again and reflash the rom and see if that fixes it.

I feel like a guy that thought he was stranded alone on a desert island for years and then one day finds out that he has been just over the hill from a luxury resort the whole time. I have spent about a week (maybe longer) getting from stock 6.0.1 CPF3, to rooted, unlocked, with TWRP installed. I will only say that my trip was not pretty, until I flashed PaulPizzRom. When it first booted up after flashing, and I saw what it was, I think I may have gotten to my new home. I got here via hsbadr's How-to This is a pic of my current status on PPR.

I have a couple of questions;

1. Should I be on CPG2 baseband and bootloader? How do I get 'em without risking my unlocked bootloader? Are they better or just newer?

2. What happened to the 5 step power menu that I saw when I booted into PaulPizzRom the first time? Now all I have are these four.

Thanks to Pizz for building a truly clean, functional and elegant ROM. Great work!

EDIT: I did some search on this and saw that the PD1 bootloader is okay. I still am interested in knowing if the baseband can/should be changed to PG2 (I haven't seen any issues with it being PD1 yet) and I would like the 5 step power menu back, if possible.

You might be able to fix it using the method in this thread. They're modifying the PersonalPage.apk and when I tried it, it still wouldn't turn on, but it also wouldn't pop up the error message "private mode failed to turn on". I feel like it's close to working but something is missing and I'm not quite sure what it is. Maybe when you get a chance to check it out, you can find the missing ingredients.

I too have the same wifi flashing on/off with BOTH CPF3 and the latest CPG2, on 2 distinct note 4's. As I recall it's been around since CPF3, I try to ignore it.

Was contemplating if it could be related to enhanced location that uses wifi & gps, but please I'm no programmer, just a tweeker.

Please I hope I don't have to reflash and unlock again. The last 2 times my wife kept looking at me saying "why are you freaking out ,sweating & cursing" and I'm like I'm trying to root my phone without bricking it, and she like "you boys and your toys"

Also my bluetooth seems to drop after maybe 15 minutes and I have to reconnect. Anyone else notice this?

Reboot Menu-Now you see it-Now you don't

Okay, I give up. Is it a setting? If it is, I sure can't find it. Is it phases of the moon...sunspots...vitamin deficiency? What decides which power menu appears when I press the power button? Occasionally the 5 step menu appears when I press power button, most of the time I will get the 4 step version (bottom thumbnail) I want the 5 step version as default. (upper thumbnail) Is there any way to add actions to the 5 step menu? I'd like to have a screenshot option.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
I flashed the framework mods (didn't read the fine print so I wiped Dalvik cache

before

flashing). I checked the box to reboot after flashing. Upon first unlocking the phone I got "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped." I went back and re-read the instructions and saw that I was supposed to wipe Dalvik and Cache

after

flashing so I rebooted into recovery and wiped Dalvik and cache but am still getting the above message continually after hitting "Ok". What should I do? BTW, I made a nandroid backup before flashing. Should I restore from nandroid and flash again, this time doing the wipes after the flash?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Just to be sure, did you flash the one with pg2 in the zip title? The only reason I'm asking is because that was the same error I got when I was checking to see if the pf3 framework mods even needed to be updated. There was surprisingly a lot of changes between the two. If it was the wrong one, you can flash the pg2 over top of it and just wipe Dalvik cache\cache and it should be ok. Even if it was the right one it might be worth flashing it again and then wipe caches before starting over.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
I just downloaded from OP. The file name is: fw.mods.pg2.zip. I am however still on CFP3 firmware - haven't had time to upgrade but really wanted the "only once" / "always" - boy that is annoying!! So, do I have the wrong mod file for my firmware? Which is the correct one?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Oh yeah, here's the link for the pf3 framework mods.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
Thanks again Kevintm78! That worked perfectly. Would you mind telling me what is in your "TW Mod"? I googled "6 in the Hotseat" but couldn't find a reference to it and don't know what "TW Swipe" is either.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
That's one I like a lot. The hotseat is the icons docked at the bottom and the mod allows you to put an extra icon in that area. The tw swipe replaces the flipboard/briefing app with a shortcut to pretty much any app that you want. I'll attach a pic to give you a better idea. One thing to note though, if you use a 3rd party launcher it won't do you any good. It's just for stock note 4 launcher.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
Thanks! I use NOVA so I won't be needing those. I see you are really good with mods - do you have any idea how I can get Dolby Atmos working on my phone? I froze Sound Alive but could not find "Adapt Sound". That's the only suggestion I've been given. The app is installed and launches but no mater what I do in it, there is no effect. I used it frequently in my previous ROM so I'm very familiar with it, just can't get it to work in this one.

NEVER MIND! Somehow, it just started working.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I user just viper on its own, but just for future reference, if your looking in tibu "adapt sound" is listed as adapt sound. But if your looking in a file explorer it's "hearing dro_". Strange huh? Every time I use a different rom viper is always an adventure, sometimes you have to actually uninstall the two files above instead of freezing. I can't hardly find a rhyme or reason to it.

Flashed in recovery and phone app icon disappeared. Cannot find it anywhere. I can receive calls, but have no way of viewing contacts or making outgoing calls.

The InCallUI works fine. During or after an incoming call and clicking on 'view contact' I get an 'Application Not Installed' message.

Any advice?

*EDIT* - For those that run into this, here is what I did to get back to MM phone/contacts.

I dirty flashed the ROM (wiping system, dalvik cache, & cache), had a TON of app FC with the phone being VERY sluggish. The most notable FC was for android.process.acore. Found that the contacts storage app needed to be data cleared and all is well again. It was VERY frustrating & time consuming trying to get through to clear data on contacts storage (must show system apps in application manager) as the phone was just not responding very well at all. Once contact storage is cleared, restart & win!

Wow I didn't have any of these problems. Im sorry about that. I'm removing it the link now.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] swartlkk:
I am not sure what caused this to happen. I will be making a new nandroid of my phone and starting the whole process from scratch one of these days as I still cannot get HDVoice to work. I plan on flashing 5.1 again and going through the whole unlock process just to see if anything changes.

At that point, I will try the Grace apps again with a fresh install of PP. I love the ROM!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
The way I install it is similar to the instructions they have in the viper thread for cooking it into the rom. I tried to make a zip to flash that would install it, but for some reason it still comes back with drivers not installed even though everything goes to the right spot. Are you ok with placing files in they're spot using a file explorer and manually setting permissions? If you are I can explain everything, it's really not that bad, but I know some people are real comfortable doing that sort of thing.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
I am very comfortable doing that sort of thing. I installed 3Minit battery and have made several other similar mods. Please forward instructions.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Oh ok, good deal. Like I mentioned earlier most of the info is in the official Viper thread. You might want to check that out as well, but I can save you some steps as I've already decompiled the app and modified the audio-effects.conf that your welcome to use. I put all the stuff you need in the attached zip. Inside the zip you'll find the viper app that needs to be put in /system/app and set permission to 0644 (no folder necessary). Then go to /system/lib/sound-fx/ and look to see if you already have libv4a_fx_xxx.so files in there. Those are your drivers and if they are there, delete them and reboot (there might be 2 of them). If there aren't any there then grab the ones out the zip and put them in that location and set permission to 0644. Next go to /system/etc/ and look for the audio-effects.conf file and rename it to audio-effects.bak (just for backup purposes). Then take the audio-effects.conf out of the zip and put it in that location and set permission to 0644. After that reboot and then reboot to recovery and flash the viper-su.policy.zip that is included in attached file. After that you should be good to go. If you have another audio mod installed we might could make some adjustments, let me know how it goes.
