There is this feature of drawing over apps (screen overlay) in your mobile device

Navigate to settings>apps

Click on the gear button at top right position then click "draw over other apps".

Then at the second top line you will see a dropdown (enabled is auto selected) click there to choose "apps with permission" from the dropdown.

Now you will see the list of apps with permission. Click on the menu button (3 dots at top right position), choose "show system".

Click on all the system applications one by one e.g. click on "system ui" application and then allow "permit drawing over other apps"

Repeat this for all the system apps and the application you were using when the glitch was faced.

Now your volume increase operation should be functioning normally.

More info:

The increase in volume displays a warning dialog that "increasing the volume might damage hearing ...."

This dialog popup is displayed over any application you are using (actually uses the function of drawing over other apps)

If the system app is not allowed for "drawing over other apps" then the warning dialog is not able to display itself, causing the volume increase operation to fail which results in malfunction.

Now while installing certain apps you might face the issue that "screen overlay is enabled" and will not allow you to install tgat app.

For this issue temporarily remove the permission of drawing over other apps for the apps and system apps that have the permission, following the same navigation path and then install the application.

Once you are done installing the application you can revert back your permission of "drawing over other apps" function for apps you want to use.

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] melona380:
I am trying to use a 2 terabyte USB hard Drive on my Verizon SMG-935V. The hard drive is formatted with the Linux ext4 file system. I do not have the option to reformat the drive, there is data on it that I need. I thought that after Android 4.4 there was native ext4 support across the board for Android. Whenever I plug in my ext4 hard drive my phone pops up an error saying it's in an unrecognized format and tries to have me reformat it. Am I going to have to wait for a route to roll around to mount this. Or is there a way that we have found around mounting ext4 on Samsung devices? Thanks for the help :)

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Bicknasty:
No, you must upgrade to the marshmallow bootloader and unlock that one by following the directions in hsbadr's other thread. Then you flash the Stock Restore in Odin.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Gravemoss42:
So i have a developer edition, can i just odin this and go? or do i have to install and unlock a bootloader as well? root/unlocking took so long i didnt keep up.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Bicknasty:
It probably isn't, since it's not a custom ROM but just a set of Stock firmware files.

The only time you guys can flash directly any MM ROM is when you already on MM Unlocked bootloader and rooted. If you are on 5.1.1 Unlocked and rooted, you have to follow the OP instructions, doesn't matter if you have retails or Dev Edition.

Anyone have any recommendations on how to backup my Android install before I flash this?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] douger1957:
Are you rooted? You should be able to backup in recovery if you are.

The first link goes to the BPA1 download. I didn't notice, and ended up waiting about 30 minutes for it to download before I saw it :p.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] NJDEN:
This method is exclusively for Developer Editions, right? Retail users have to follow the steps listed in this thread? Otherwise both methods get users to CPD1?

Never mind, I see it says Retail/Dev in the thread title...

Missing Applications Manager?

So I went through this process twice, the first time because wifi wasn't working and the application manager (Settings -> Application) was missing.

On the second shot, wifi was working again, but I'm still missing the app manager.

Where I expect Applications, I see Application Settings (the part where you can set the default program, etc.)

Did this happened to anyone else?

Anyone have a fix for this?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Romans8vs1:
I have a developer edition Note 4 and am currently on 4.4.4 ANJ5. If I upgrade to CPD1, can I safely downgrade to any prior release (4.4, 5.0, 5.1, etc.)?

Would I follow the same process as going from 4.4 to 5.1 and vice versa?

I've found that I like 4.4 better than any of the 5.0 ROM's, but I want to try 6.0 now that it is out.

I'm curious as anyone been able to root this.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tolymatev:
If you unlock it and install twrp, you can try flashing SuperSu then. But if you root the stock rom it might not boot, that was the case with LL. Had to flash custom kernel.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dkahs23:
I'm on stock LL now unlocked BL and rooted retail edition. I didn't know if king root would work
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tolymatev:

Well I am on MM via this way and have Retail version w/developer mode with boot loader unlock and twrp installed but cannot get root via kingroot. So I flashed SuperSu. And still no root
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chappatti:
If you use the Jasmine ROM v6.0.1 by hsbadr - which is almost like stock MM - you can get root. Jasmine ROM has the custom Multisystem kernel for MM to root.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gowronshammer:
I did, but not with the Applications manager. After going ODIN back to 5.1.1, unlocking and upgrading the bootloader and then applying the MM Safe upgrade, twice, I got wifi, but not Applications manager.

I ended up using the full firmware found here: http://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/development/firmware-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2942937 and just flashing straight to 6.0.1.

I don't have root, a locked boot loader, complaints about dm-verity and DRK in recovery mode, but I have a working MM with Wifi and Applications manager and Android Pay.

I'm happy at the moment, thanks for the help.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dkahs23:
Thanks for the info. You wouldn't happen to know which kernel he used?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] douger1957:
His own Multisystem kernel. If I recall, he updated it for Marshmallow.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chappatti:
It is his own Multisystem kernel. Its not released for MM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
ROOT

You can flash SuperSU v2.74 to patch the kernel ramdisk/sepolicy. It'll install root in systemless mode as default on MM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dkahs23:
Thanks, the first time I did this I must have downloaded the wrong BETA Super Su and flashed it. Because when I went ti the app. it said it could not update the binary and closed. But this one worked like a charm.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nu2droid:
Thanks for the instructions.. I am already rooted and that hole processes went fine. My problems are little things in the jasmine rom. Stuff like the sdcard not being recognized in Titanium Backup, music, gallery, etc. I have been asking around and no one else claims to have the same issues. I have done the processes and clean installs of Jasmine 2 or 3 times already. I figured if I can try going to straight stock MM I would give that a try.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dkahs23:
Give that a try and let us know if that works. Good Luck
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] douger1957:
Did you try turning off "mount namespace separation" in the settings menu of SuperSU? That might fix your Titanium Backup's access to your SD card issue.

Did you try formatting the SD card and have you tried a different card? I had no trouble with my phone on Jasmine right out of the gate.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nu2droid:
I have changed that setting, cleared cache, re-installed , etc. The only thing I haven't tried is formatting the card. With 30 gbs of stuff... I was not looking forward to that . Haha

I probably will try a all out wipe and do over this weekend....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] douger1957:
Does your PC see and read the card? If so, maybe you can copy it to the PC, format it in the phone, then copy it back.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tolymatev:
That's a MM thing. You have to change settings in TiBu then give TiBu permission to access the card through my files.

My root explorer wasn't able to write or edit anything on the sd until i have it access to write on the sd.

An update is trying to install. Does anyone know what to freeze to stop updates?

Edit: It seems they were nice enough to rename it to "Software Updates" this time. Tricky, tricky.

Edit 2: That hasn't stopped the "tap to install new software" notification, but clicking on software updates in settings doesn't open. Hmm.

Edit 3: Freezing "System Updates" took care of the notification. Problem solved. :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nu2droid:
In the cache folder, you can delete the update.zip file.

Then in system\apps, rename the sdm.apk to something like sdm.apk.bak.

The first thing will delete the file if it already downloaded, the second will stop it from Downloading again.

Edit: didn't see you already fixed it when I replied.

lets say I am on a m ROM 6.0.1 and im running fine ... doing this process will what? always keep me on the newer baseband no matter what I flash? this could be why none of the custom roms in the snapdragon forum aren't working
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sportytony:
Hi, this exactly worked.(took me a day) I was trying to go on [MENTION=5868929]hsbadr[/MENTION] cm 13 for mm but it never would go, so I finally gave up and odined this rom and flashed super su thru twrp and a sd card and voila. Idk if the cm 13 rom was corrupt but everything said it was good and I didn't want to install Jasmine as it required the older modem (or something like that). Hopefully this info saves someone a day. But I do have a question that hopefully someone can answer. How the HECK can I get rid of the nuisance message for the daang update!!!?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dkahs23:
Look back in this thread to thread 40. And it will tell you how. Glad it worked for you.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] douger1957:
First off, if your phone is "running fine," why mess with success?

Second, "this process" will give you an unlocked Marshmallow bootloader and ultimately root. Where you go from here is up to you and what you've been able to learn about what an unlocked bootloader means. There's a difference between an unlocked Lollipop bootloader and an unlocked Marshmallow bootloader and there are different ROMs available for each. It will not "keep you on the newest" whatever at all.

The custom ROMs in the Snapdragon forum are working if you know what you're doing. Figuring out what a "baseband' is should be your first priority. You've been using the term incorrectly the whole time you've been here and is a big clue that you need to do more homework.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sportytony:
Thank you for that. Do you think I will be able to go to cm 13 mm now that this rom installed rooted and unlocked and maybe it just needed whatever this rom had to be up and running? I really wanted cm13 and it seems I similary (sp) had same issue. Them I installed lp was deved and running

Can someone help me out here? The very first step appears to unlock the bootloader (lollipop) which assumes the phone is rooted (it's not)! I thought I needed to unlock the bootloader TO root in the first place? Chicken and egg?

And yes I did search the forum but couldn't seem to find the info about this! :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] douger1957:
The very first step does not assume that the Lollipop bootloader is unlocked.

(start here) in the very first post takes you to [MENTION=766721]ryanbg[/MENTION]'s thread on how to unlock the Lollipop bootloader. You need to be rooted before you can upgrade to Marshmallow as the hybrid thread is not signed by Samsung.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] The_FNG:
Well, well, well. Not only did I shoot myself in the foot, I blew the whole darn thing off.

Somehow, some way, after hours and hours, through inattentiveness, or just plain stupidity, I have ended up with a locked bootloader on my Note 4 DE with MM, now even with CPF3!! Heck, I figured since I'd already killed the "Developer" aspect of my "DE" Edition, I might as well have the latest.

I knew I was in trouble when loading TWRP, or SU was failing, or I saw official Verizon stuff running after an attempt in FastBoot.

I'm on my way to the local Samsung service center (at the suggestion from the culmination of 5 sessions with Samsung support in its various forms, only one of which spoke unaccented English) to have them "reload the unlocked bootloader". I think ONE of the support personnel actually understood what I was referring to regarding "bootloader", locked vs unlocked.

I do not have high hopes.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nh97103:
The good news is it doesn't matter if that pans out or not. You can still downgrade back to 5.1.1 from MM and unlock the bootloader and get root from there, and then go though the safe upgrade to MM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] The_FNG:
Really? I have "safe" versions going back to BOK3, and every time I tried with Odin, it would puke orange "fail" right at the end. Same with TWRP non-zip format, or zip form in stock Recovery.

Forgive my ignorance, but what am I missing?

Thx,

Steve
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] The_FNG:
Well the service center restored Lollipop, so I can actually go through the exploited root to restore. I pretty much figured they couldn't actually restore the unlocked bootloader.

But I'm back to real Lollipop so I shouldn't have any issues getting it now.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] The_FNG:
I'm destined to give up on my favorite phone of all time.

Got home with the supposedly virgin BPA1 install, and started the exploit root process, and followed it to the letter until Kingroot rebooted. Then bootloop.

Attempted to reload BPA1 (hsbadr's STOCK), but the existing leftovers of the Service Center reload didn't like the "file verification".

Went to Sammobile and downloaded the Verizon version of BPA1, and it loaded just fine.

Attempted the exploit root process once again, and again after the Kingroot reboot, another bootloop, but this one looks permanent. No matter what I attempt, bootloop.

How does one wipe the phone clean, to attempt the Verizon BPA1 once again?

<sigh>

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] douger1957:
Try pulling the SD card out. Pull the battery out and put it back in. Hold the volume up, power and home keys together until it boots into recovery. Do a factory reset and reboot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] AstonsAndroid:
Updated after one more crazy idea:

7. I heard FlashFire could do some amazing things, so after steps 1-6; and with nothing left to lose I decided to flash that Original latest Verizon 6.0.1 ROM again this time with FlashFire (after a full FlashFire Backup to external SD). Low and behold allowing it to dirty flash the the latest 6.0.1 SM-N910V from SamMobile 2016-06-28	USA (Verizon)	6.0.1	N910VVRU2CPD1	N910VVZW2CPD1 by defaults (minus Bootloaders and such) it returned a perfect Verizon Note 4 Developer Edition 6.0.1 with no issues at all. forget about application manager and other minor fixes this thing is perfect. It even retained all Super SU and such. Wow!!!

Case closed!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] The_FNG:
Worked through the night trying various things. Finally on a whim, after Odin'ing BPA1 again, I did what someone else suggested, and before Odin had a chance to reboot upon completion, I pulled the battery, and went to fastboot, and wiped manually. Holy cow. I'm rooted and functioning, albeit with no wifi (starting from pure working BPA1). Miracles of miracles will they never cease.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] doubleplay648:
I have some questions for you guys, as now the game has changed since the retail edition can be rooted. I am currently on a rooted developer edition with Lollipop 5.1.1 INCREMENTED stock restore and jasmine rom. If i want to upgrade my developer edition to stock MM and then to jasmine MM, what exactly is the process to do that. I get confused by some of this techno mumbo jumbo and would like to nail this first try. Here is my thought process. 1. Odin back to a clean 5.1.1 INCREMENTED restore. 2. Odin to a clean CPD1 MM Stock Restore. 3. Odin TWRP 4. Flash to JasmineROM v7.0. Do I need to do anything to my unlocked lollipop bootloader? If so or if there is any flaw in my upgrade logic please let me know. I will not attempt to upgrade until I know what I'm doing is correct. I appreciate any help you guys can give me. Thanks!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shassouneh:
I think you misread my post. I said the first step assumes you're

ROOTED

in order

to

unlock the bootloader, which is very much a chicken and egg situation. Also, the temporary roots I found on XDA and google don't work (some of them fail to install, others claim to install but don't do anything at all).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gcounts:
You could've just thanked douger1957 for helping....I see you didn't. I've read your posts and still don't know what you're saying or asking.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shassouneh:
I think its pretty obvious what I am asking. The instructions to unlock the bootloader assume the device is rooted. However to root the device in the first place requires an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery. So its a chicken and egg problem.

And I didn't mean to neglect to thank him/her.....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] douger1957:
And like I said, the post doesn't assume anything. If you're rooted, you can proceed to flashing the hybrid firmware. If you're not rooted, you need to root first.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shassouneh:
But don't you need an unlocked bootloader in the first place to root? Root needs to be done from a custom recovery (such as TWRP) which requires an unlocked bootloader. I think this is where you and I are missing each other.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] douger1957:
Yes, you do. But the first instruction says if you're rooted, you're good to go. If not then you need to get root. There's no assumption. The instruction covers both bases.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shassouneh:
I see. Thanx for the help. I guess my source of confusion would be how to root now since i don't have an unlocked bootloader. I may have to look into those temporary roots, but they didn't work for me the first time I tried them. It doesn't help that I took the OTA MM 6.0 update either.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] douger1957:
Downgrade to BPA1 via ODIN and start from scratch. Those "temporary roots" are just that. Very temporary and very unstable. But you'll need to get one to work if you're going to unlock your bootloader.
