Get those drivers installed. You should have that ready in case you ever have problems like this. So you can always go back to stock and start over. I'm in the process of uploading a tar with no aboot so the bootloader will not relock. So anyone having problems can us it to start over. Did you by chance do a nand back up through recovery before installing the rom?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hmltnjrmy7:
I had CM13 on a back up..so yes
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
Have you tried restoring it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cmdba:
Well if you cant get into recovery you will need odin if that ever happens like it did to me tonight ;)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hmltnjrmy7:
Yes tried that and no luck .. Everything backs up except service..

---------- Post added at 07:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 AM ----------

Currently on it now just no service

---------- Post added at 07:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 AM ----------

Anybody have any suggestions
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
here is the VRU2CPF3 firmware tar with no aboot to keep bootloader unlocked. Flash with odin, after its done boot into recovery and do a factory reset. Make sure you back up whatever you files you need from from your phone before doing the reset or they will be gone forever. This should fix any issues, its a completely stock image.

VRU2CPF3_NO_ABOOT.tar
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hmltnjrmy7:
Just fresh installed grace 2.7.1 build and now I have service and everything is working correctly.

You got me?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cmdba:
Hope it works ... been a long night. Thanks:fingers-crossed:

That did the trick for me.... Thanks for that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
So is r3 stable? I was thinking about clean installing it, but reading through the posts of people that had problems I figured I'd ask before flashing. I'm on Verizon if that makes a difference. Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
There have been 3 people having problems. I've wiped and installed 4 different times and had no problems. I'm not gonna say it's unstable yet until I can see these errors my self. If you try it, make sure you back up everything just in case. If you do have any problems please let me know asap. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cmdba:
What version of TWRP are you using?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
Glad to hear your back up and running. Sorry about all of that. I still can't pin point the cause. The only thing I can think is maybe the apns-conf.xml edits are the cause. I just can't debug that because I've had no problems after wiping and flashing numerous times to try and get the error. But thanks for your patience!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
I believe its 3.0.2-0...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cmdba:
Same as i am using .. im going to try it again coming from the stock CPF3 you posted which is running fine. Ill let you know.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
Yeah let me know. I appreciate that!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cmdba:
Its doing the same thing, it will not activate.. no service.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
Alright. I'm gonna put a build together later with the original apns. That's the only thing I can think is the cause. Would you mind testing?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cmdba:
I would definitely test it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
unfortunately i had to remove PaulPizzRom.VRU2CPF3.r-3 due to a major bug with simcard. i believe i found the issue and am working to get it back up and running. you can still find the r-2 build under the past builds link in the op. THANKS!

I want to do this http://pokemongohub.net/play-pokemon-go-rooted-android-devices/ but I'm having the hardest time removing SuperSU. The option within the app does nothing, and nothing I flash to remove the binaries will remove the app. I've even attempted going into system/app and deleting it manually. It's right there staring me in the face when I reboot. What am I missing? Am I looking in the wrong place for it? It doesn't show up in titanium so I cant just make it a user app and uninstall it normally. I'm clearly doing something wrong and would appreciate a push in the right direction. Can anybody help me out here?

Is there a more elegant solution?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] caniswesley:
First off, because i truly appreciate this amazing rom, thank you so very much for your time and energy in constructing and maintaining it. I just wished to ask-will this resolve the instability I encounter in r3? R2 seldom if ever did so to me
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
Have u tried the new build? r-3.2.. r-3 is buggy..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] homephysician:
I am on r3.2 and it is smooth and I can't find an issue what so ever. Thanks PaulPizz
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] fortytwo17:
That's one of the things I tried first after the in-app option failed. it removes the binary but not the app for me. I did everything I could think of or google my way out of. I'm at a loss.

:(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] leifyguy:
I dirty flashed r3 on friday, I haven't had time to get back on since, however, I haven't experienced bugs with the sim card, or any bugs at all, in fact, it's running really smoothly; however, would you still recommend that I download and flash the latest release just to be safe?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
If your not seeing any problems I wouldn't rush it. But I do recommend flashing the new build as soon as u can.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Android.Ninja:
Hey PaulPizz, can you check your inbox? I sent you a pm. Thanks and really nice work on this amazing rom.

Do anyone know if gear vr works with this ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
I don't have vr gear to test.. But it should work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] leifyguy:
Dirty flashed r3.2 over r3 yesterday and haven't had any glitches, as usual this rom is running smoothly.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] caniswesley:
Did a clean flash of 3.2 yesterday. Experienced resets but had a suspicion it might be an app. Uninstalled Greenify and it is stable so far.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] elektrik2001:
Did a clean flash of 3.2 and this is as far as I've ever gotten (after waiting 25 minutes)...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
It's shouldn't take more than 15 mins to boot up. What build were you coming from?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pfcland:
Hey paul i flashed your rom because i was having issues with CM 13 and decided to try yours well when i flash it and reboot i get the error kernel is not seandroid enforcing anyways to fix this

the phone boots up fine but when you first boot it you get that text in red about kernal info
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
That's normal. It cause the kernel isn't stock. Most custom Kernels will say that unless the dev that compiled the kernel removes it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pfcland:
Alright just checking , the rom works good also i was able to get lucky patcher to work correctly with exposed for some reason on cm13 lucky patcher with exposed once i clicked check on the module and rebooted it would cause bootloops cause qi.qualcomn.tether.services would crash and cause the bootloop
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EdrickMG:
anyway to remove verizon splash screen, good job
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
I was working on that. I kept getting a boot loop. I'll get it figured out. Hopefully for a new release.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EdrickMG:
Gadget made some boot animation that get rid of splash screen could be an awesome contribution to your rom I belive
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
Are you just trying to change the boot animation? I was able to do that by following this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/general/note-4-bootanimation-t3368487

There are links for some additional boot animations that you can use to remove the ugly red Verizon boot animation. You basically just overwrite the file in the listed directory with the new animation.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cdlegate:
First thanks for a wonderful Rom

Has anyone been able to successfully get android Pay to work? I searched through this and did not find a definite Yes or no answer on that

The main reason for this Rom is the wifi tethering, I like that it is rooted but can live without that as long as the Wifi tether is working and android pay works.

Any help on getting it to work is very appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] caniswesley:
I've been getting a reboot occurring every time I try to use Google Maps along with Listen Audiobook Player. Any suggestions? I did a clean install of r-3.2 and then restored from a Titanium Backup.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
Any chance at getting 3Minit Battery baked into the ROM? I really like it and am used to it coming from MOROM. I googled it and the instructions for installing are pretty severe. I was going to try it but can't find the advanced APKTool you have to use to decompile/recompile the System_UI file.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
You could try this one that claims to have the feature: http://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/development/modest-rom-sm-n910v-pf3-t3458377
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] homephysician:
The problem you are having is possibly because of the titanium backup of data. Try a total clean install.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
Sorry for the stupid question but how do I use the S6 Theme Manager? The instructions I found by Googling say to long-press on the screen and Themes will be one of the options but I only see three options: Wallpapers, Widgets and Settings.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Telemachus:
I just installed the newest version, it looks great coming from 5.1.1.

However, I am one of the few with an actual Developer's Edition Note 4 (bought it 2 months before the retail bootloader was cracked!!!) and the brightness slider doesn't work.

Also, camera will not autofocus and crashes if I try to choose vignettes. Wi-Fi hotspots is not carrier activated, and no torch in the toggles.

My guess is I need a different kernel for the developer's edition
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
The brightness issue is kernel related. Are you doing complete clean install?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
Are you trying to access it from the tw launcher?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
Um... I am running Nova Launcher. How do I access it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
It only works with the stock tw launcher.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
If you're running Nova there are plenty of icon packs in the app store that you can use to make it look different.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Telemachus:
Completely clean, wiped everything.

I'm sure the autobrightness is kernel related just not sure which kernel to try with DE.

Is auto focus on the camera kernel related?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
It may be. I haven't had any issues with that. Nobody else has reported it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] joemill:
Have you gone through the process to upgrade your bootloader to 6.0.1 and unlock? You NEED to do that first.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mustk1ll20:
What kernel should I use with this Rom?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
That depends on your preference. There's both Emotion: http://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/development/kernel-emotion-kernel-emotroid-team-t3461289 and OscarKernel: http://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/development/kernel-oscarkernel-t3376395 that work with this ROM. I think there may be some others, but I personally like Oscar unless I'm using my ZeroLemon Battery and then I use Emotion with the ZL fix.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mustk1ll20:
Thanks. Tried the Oscar kernel and kept getting a pop-up that said "unauthorized actions detected" and wanted me to reset. emotion seems to work tho.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
That's normal. It's a permissive kernel. You just long press the notification and it tells you what app it's coming from and then you can freeze it with TiBu. There's also a fix for WiFi passwords being forgotten in the OP of Oscar.

I thought in-call record was included in this ROM; must have been a different one. I looked at several before settling on this one. Would it be possible to ask for that to be added in the next release? Is there a means for requesting features other than just posting like I'm doing?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] joemill:
That should be just a csc edit to enable call recording. Use a root Explorer and navigate to system/csc/others.xml

Look for this line:

Enable native voice call recording:

<CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>RecordingAllowed</CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>

If it is not there then just add it. But make sure you make a backup first!

PF3 MODS

Just an FYI on those mods, they aren't working yet with the new build. Should be updated tomorrow.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
Thanks! It worked. But now the Add Call and BlueTooth buttons are almost off screen. Is there any way to squeeze the space between those icons? They're more spaced out than they need to be.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] joemill:
That is a known issue. I dont remember if there was an easy way to fix that........

I think an option was to put the "record" button into the call menu button instead but Im not sure if that is an easy thing to do.

Another option is to possibly lower the phone app dpi just a hair so that it all fits but that may cause other scaling issues on the phone app.

The short answer is just deal with it or try to look into one of my ideas and post your results for the rest of us :silly:

For the cpg2 firmware, do we need to upgrade the bootloader and the modem? When I got around to flashing it last night I just used the same cpd1/PF3 firmware that I've been using and it was doing OK until I flashed one of those framework mods and had to get my phone back to working order for work today. Also does anyone know if we do upgrade the bootloader is it possible to downgrade if need be?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
I upgraded. Just flashed the modems and bootloaders. You can revert back as long as you don't update the aboot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Great! I'll do that tonight and try those mods again. I was afraid of f'ing myself if I tried without asking first. So just to be clear, if I'm flashing this rom, all I would need to do is flash the download with bootloader/no aboot in the title, assuming the 2gb file is the whole firmware?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
Yes. And flash the modems too
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mlcampbe:
I want to do a safe upgrade with odin but not 100% sure which files to use. From the download I see these:

N910VVRU2CPG2_NoAboot.tar.md5

VRU2CPG2_Bootloaders_NoAboot.tar.md5

VRU2CPG2_modems.tar.md5

From the last couple of posts I do not want aboot and both of the above have "NoAboot" in the title. Do I get all 3 of these and flash them via odin? If so which section do they go in? BL, AP, CP, etc...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
N910VVRU2CPG2_NoAboot is the the full firmware with no aboot.

VRU2CPG2_Bootloaders_NoAboot is only the bootloader with except the aboot

VRU2CPG2_modems are only then modems.

Use the full firmware to safely upgrade. (N910VVRU2CPG2_NoAboot) place that in the AP slot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mlcampbe:
So do es the full firmware include the modems part or do I need to flash the modem separtely?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
It includes modems. Everything except aboot
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] android-incredible:
Any differences between this rom and full note 7 port?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mlcampbe:
I flashed only the full firmware file and it was successful. However, it seems that :

1 - Neither xposed nor superuser is installed anymore. Do I need to download/install them from the first page?

2 - All of the apps I had frozen are back again. Will root + titanium fix that?

It appears that the recovery partion was overwritten too as TWRP is no longer available. Looks like it was not a safe upgrade afterall and I will have to start from scratch. However, I am not even sure how to do that now. Seems that I would need to unlock the boot loader again. Any ideas on how to proceed?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
A safe upgrade means your bootloader does not get relocked. You should do some reading before messing with your phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
You should be able to flash twrp with odin, and when that's complete, pull battery, boot to recovery, and flash latest cpg2 PaulPizz build.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PaulPizz:
flash the twrp file via odin

TWRP.tar

then flash the

PaulPizzRom.VRU2CPG2.r-1

via twrp or if you want to stay on the stock build you can root by flashing SuperSu via twrp to regain root... hope this helps..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] caniswesley:
I did the upgrade through the methods posted (tried just updating bootloaders/modems without full firmware, and then tried the full firmware provided). Both of these updated, and I was able to install the new Custom Rom via TWRP. But once I started up the ROM and it booted for the first time, in the middle of setting up the Setup wizard, the phone rebooted. It did this a couple of times to me on different clean installs. I was eventually able to get everthing re-setup (completely clean install), and I still was getting random reboots. I went back to the previous build from end of October, and is stable again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] android-incredible:
i Flashed Full firmwareN910VVRU2CPG2_NoAboot, make sure usb debugging selected, Unknown sources selected, flash the twrp file via odin, Flashed the rom via twrp, Flashed Supersu via twrp,Everything works fine.....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
