Hello,

i dont understand...

If i change recovery from twrp to stock is not enough to upgrade to s225 ??

Must flash again s223 rom??

http://xdaforums.com/lenovo-a7000/d...23160405-row-andoid-6-0-t3360467#post66404777

For now i flash only stock recovery and replace twrp recovery with this :

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5os0Tgr4idrUmZFRjFoV3dDdHc/view

"LA7K STOCK RECOVERY VIA TWRP"

I thing if i have stock recovery must upgrade to s225 without problem..But its not true,,,Upgrade fail....

Please help...
[Lenovo A7000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] PrashantRana:
Friend you have to reflash the s223 stock marshmallow firmware again then only you can upgrade to A7000-a_S225_160517_ROW.

I dont know what is the reason why we cannot get ota upgrade if we replace the twrp.recovery with stock.(i think when we flash the twrp then bootloader unlock or some files get changed. And restoring stock recovery cannot fix these files.)

So i can only suggest you to reflash s223 the get ota update s225. In between donot flash the twrp recovery.

Best of luck

Just finished toying around with three A7000a plus.

I don't know what's the difference between A7000, A7000a, and A7000a plus.

The only thing is, this model (A7000a plus) can't be flashed using an A7000 or A7000a ROMs, can cause white screen or completely blank screen.

Only ROMs with "USR" code works with this model.

For example:

- A7000-a_USR_S137_1505280741_MP6.V3_LENOVO6752_BMAIN_ROW

- A7000-A_PLUS_USR_S141_1509022_ROW

Yes. This is a Verizon rom. I have no way of testing on another variant.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
It should be fine if you straight flash. You will want to flash your modems with Odin though. I'd recommend flashing if you are already in BPA1. Let me know how it goes if you try it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
I guess reactivation lock doesn't work, I'll look into it, thanks for bringing that to my attention. As for the all share cast I'm not sure at the moment. I'll test as soon as I can. Thanks

Mainly just Verizon and Amazon bloat. Didn't really touch the Samsung apps. If its not there I'm sure you get it from the Samsung app store.

Do I need to flash Emotion kernel after flashing this rom or its not necessary? Am already on Emoton kernel now after bootloader unlock!

Download is about to finish with my aweful network! :laugh:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
You too. Thanks to Mr. Baldwin for the tip. If you have time since it works now. Try flashing the PaulPizz.Kernel back and see if the problem comes back. If so just use that multisystem kernel till we get it figured out. I'm try to weed out what could be causing this issue.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Romans8vs1:
I flashed your kernel, and the brightness issue came back. Just flashed the multisystem kernel again, and the brightness now works. Thanks again sir!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] campbell.daniel87:
I use auto lux for my brightness and don't have any issues. Maybe you could try something like that if you want the battery life.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Romans8vs1:
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried auto lux, but I had to manually change the brightness. It wouldn't automatically change it. I flashed the multisystem kernel again and am good to go.

Thanks again for the app suggestion.

want a 5 way reboot menu???

want a new boot animation?? like maybe the marshmallow animation??

FLASH THIS

*******NOTE, if your using an xposed module such as wanam xposed for a reboot menu, YOU MUST DISABLE THE REBOOT MENU OPTION BEFORE FLASHING THIS!!!! IT WILL PUT YOU IN A BOOT LOOP!!!!***************YOU HAVE WARNED!!!!

Enjoy!! these are some of the mods that will be implemented into the next build.... :)

Question for [MENTION=4999212]PaulPizz[/MENTION]?

I play Clash of Clans. I have multiple accounts. I usually enter one account to donate troops to another account.

Switching between accounts was easy because I used "My Knox" container and easily switched by using the "recents" menu button. My Knox is obviously a "no go" because the phone has been modified.

Here is my new work around.

On your 1st and 2nd build I was able to enable Multi-user accounts by adding the following code to my "build.prop"

# Multi Users

fw.show_multiuserui=1

fw.max_users=5

After flashing the most recent update and adding this code, it no longer works. It's not a big deal but is there something I'm missing?

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------

I have also tried editing the settings.db using SQlite editor with no change. This is what I would like to accomplish.

See image....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
From what I have understood, this feature has been unavailable with lollipop 5.1.1 on the note 4. I didn't know it was possible. I'll do some looking around and see what I can do.

So I guess I was wrong it is possible I'll try to get a fix. I'll keep you updated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Romans8vs1:
Another game question for you. I used to be able to play MLB Perfect inning 2016 on other ROM'S by disabling super user. (The game checks for root to catch people cheating, from what I understand)

I've also tried the hide root apps (root hide, root cloak, etc.) none of them work.

Is there anything else to try? Build prop edits or anything?

As always, thank you for your help!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SlothlyDX:
So here is a possible solution. I say possible because I haven't tried it with clash of clans, but an app called app cloner. This app clones app so you can have 2 of the same app on your phone. You can log into 2 different accounts easily. Hope that helps.

My Samsung keyboard lost all the punctuation that used to be on the letter keys (need to use longpress). Is there a setting someplace to bring that back. I don't know where I lost it as I was using a different keyboard for a little bit.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
I'm thinking the Google Apps being deodexed may be causing issues. You may wanna use tibu or a system app Uninstaller to uninstall it. Then reinstall through Google play. I'll get it worked out asap. Sorry.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KingVekxin:
Its alright man
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Romans8vs1:
I use an xposed mod called Samsung Alt Symbols to get my punctuation/symbols back whenever they are missing. I've been using it for quite some time on various ROM's and it works great. Just download it, activate it, and reboot and you're all set.

Hope this helps.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Skubacb:
If you notice in TWRP in a normal wipe they do not include Internal Memory. When you go to advance wipe it is there. That was my confusion. My thinking is that if I don't want problems with the PPizz update then I should clean it too. At the time I did not know if it would wipe TWRP recovery.

Bottom line here for me is that everything is working more "cleanly" since I did the entire wipe. Everything I could except my EXTSD card. I had plenty of backups and could replace anything if there was a problem. But for the guys not doing this everyday. It is very nerve racking when you are not certain about your actions. Thanks everyone for the inputs.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Yeah you're right. It really is best to wipe and format the internal SD card for the best results especially when switching to a rom that's drastically different such as an aosp rom (cm13, emotionOS, etc.). Sometimes I'll wipe everything twice just to make sure. I know there's a lot to this and sometimes finding the right answer isn't always easy or you'll find two different answers but if you ever need you can pm me and if I can help I will. :)

UPDATE

Added Stock_MMB29M.N910VVRS2CQA1 to op for building your own rom or if you want a completely stock experience. Also added latest bootloaders, modems, and full firmware tar files to flash via odin to update your device with out locking bootloader. These files do not contain the aboot.mbn so your existing aboot will not be touched.

I will hopefully be releasing a new updated version of the PaulPizzRom soon. I've been busy and I also had my PC running linux crash. I've recently fixed it so as soon as I have time ill put a new build together. Thanks for all your support!!! :good:

Your dpi is off. Certain apps are set to run at 640 dpi like camera, dialer, and launcher. If you have Xposed installed you can use a module like app settings to set individual dpi for those apps, but other than that you would have to go to your build.prop and set the dpi to 640.

I'm not sure this should be in this thread as I don't know if it is paulpizz rom specific. I am having trouble screen mirroring (wireless) netflix videos. The mirroring works fine in the android menus and in the netflix app till I play a video. While playing a video, the audio plays, but the picture goes black on the tv. I tried updating netflix, then screen mirroring exits when I play a video. Does any of this happen to anyone else? Is this a netflix problem or a note 4 problem or just a problem with screen mirroring across all devices? I searched the web a little and someone recommended installing an older version of netflix, which I did, but it still displays a black screen when I play a video. From my experience with HDMI connections, this acts like an HDCP issue. Any advice?
