Hi, I just wanted to have a safe start and ask questions before I kick off the process ...

I flashed the roms in the past so have some experience

For my Verizon Note 4 (SM-N910V) I am on 5.1.1 BPA1 build, and unlocked my bootloader with TWRP installed. So I have SU. And I just used Titanium to back up all apps.

I read the previous posts and instructions.

Looks like I need to upgrade the bootloader to marshmallow and unlock it using https://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/development/howto-bootloader-unlock-upgrade-to-t3398144

1) Then follow the instructions on the first page of this tread. Sounds right?

2) If I use the link on the first page to download rom, does it include all the bugs so far being fixed?

3) And I saw posts about low battery 20% shut down issue. Is it a common bug?

Thank you
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
Like you said, you'll need to upgrade your bootloader before doing anything. It's the most important step and you should read the instructions several times very carefully before attempting. Remember to remove your SD card after you're done ;)

1) Yes, follow the instructions and you should be good to go. Once the bootloader is unlocked you pretty much just do a factory reset in TWRP and flash this.

2) You'll need to be more specific about the "bugs" you're thinking about. There are three common bugs that I can think of: settings resetting on reboot, permissions lost on reboot, and 4G not working. I don't experience any of these problems once I get the ROM up and running.

3) I don't have this issue with two of my batteries. The only battery that gives me a problem is broken. I don't think this is a common issue.

Does the camera crash all the time or only when certain settings are enabled?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xanderharris86:
So about every other MMS picture message I get will not download until I restart the phone, then it'll be loaded immediately. Has anyone else faced this issue and have a fix? I'm on the latest Nseven version.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sudermatt:
I haven't changed any settings on the camera...

I haven't noticed a pattern. I've seen it crash after taking a series of pictures. most recently it crashed after stopping a video. maybe it's a write failure to the card that's causing the crash.....I'll switch sd cards and see if the behavior improves

Update:

There were no lost setting associated with the earlier crashes.

Update 2:

It did it again...this time opening the camera app. there was plenty of battery. .....after battery pull...long boot up looking at the samsung logo. ...actually it never finished...waited 7 or 8 minutes or more...another battery pull.....before startup, says I had 12% battery...so it may be a battery issue this time.....getting theAndroid is Starting Optimizing storage...not good....sitting on Optimzing storage for too long...another 10 minutes...another battery pull...says 11% battery before startup....Android is starting, optimizing storage......ouch.

I ended up losing most of my settings.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] LumberjackZac:
I noticed after a clean install zero issues. But i didn't install any apps either. After adding a bunch of apps I'm getting the reboots. Eliminated all rooted apps and still getting crashes.

Tried pulling a logcat but wouldn't you know that it won't crash while plugged into my computer. Opened every app and no crash.

unplugged is a different story.

still new to adb

4G 3G issues

Great Rom. After running for a week or so on build 4, I am now having a 4G issue. My connecting votes to 3g and then I have to toggle airplane mode and it will stay 4G for awhile. It balances about once to twice a day.

I have lost permissions once.

The reset battery stats in root essentials helped my battery not cutting off at 12%.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kabuk1:
I must be lucky because I don't seem to be having any of the issues anyone else is having. 4g is solid, no random shutdowns or reboots, I even got my fingerprint scanner working via a workaround that I'll link here if anyone's interested. My ONLY issues are the AOD brightness bug and some pretty bad lag. I did a search and found some stuff about the lag being due to a chinese CSC, does anyone know any more about that? Is it fixable? The lag is the only thing that's bugging me, otherwise this rom is dead perfect.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dkahs23:
I'm with you. No problems except the few you mentioned.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Cauterized:
Id appreciate a link to the fingerprint fix:)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kabuk1:
Here you go- https://xdaforums.com/note-4/help/note-7-port-finger-print-workaround-t3441298

It's not so much a fix as a workaround, but it's possible to get it working pretty well. You do have to use a 3rd party lock screen(C Locker) but it's better than stock anyway and pretty customizable too. The fix will flash an app called LockR which appears to take over the system settings for fingerprints but it's a bit glitchy, so be sure you go into the LockR settings after flashing the note 7 settings and disable it or else you'll get the same problem I had where it locks you out and gets stuck on the "updating layout" screen(just disable the lockscreen toggle in LockR, don't freeze or remove the whole app). Also, disable the system lock screen and ONLY use C Locker or else you'll get fingerprint scanner errors and have to enter your backup password even after swiping your finger. PM me if you need any help setting it all up, I had to do a bit of tweaking before I hit the sweet spot with mine.

I have used the latest version of xceed for verizon beta from xceed kernel thread. Same one that the nseven kernel was based off of and I have never had any issues with wifi never once. What was going on would just not connect ?

I also have lag for the time being I use scheduled partition trims and I include system partition, seems to be the only way that I can stay on top of it but I am also messing around with my phone a lot so I probably do more than needed
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BeckPC:
Regarding lag issues, after I flash ANY ROM, I always use a program like Root Explorer to clear out the files and folders in the \device\efs folder. Don't worry, the ones that are required are rebuilt automatically upon reboot, but you'll find quite a few files in there that have nothing but chinese characters. Don't remove the efs folder, but just delete all of the items inside and reboot. You'll find your device lag free and it's even reduced some of the spam calls I've had in the past.

You might find that odd, but trust me... it works! One afternoon, I had flashed a ROM and got four spam calls within an hour. I cleared out the EFS folder and rebooted, I didn't get another one for two weeks! It also fixed some of the lag issues I was having right from the start. Give it a try, it can't hurt!

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

Hey guys ... I just noticed something very odd. I used NSeven Control to install Ad-away. After reboot, my wifi was no longer connecting. It would see them, but would not connect. I turned it back off and rebooted, and it's back working again. I have a Data only SIM in my device from my tablet, but wifi was gone after the AdAway install. I have not changed the kernel, but thought I'd mention it just in case others were having similar issues.

I downloaded the DEV version from February and it appears to be working. Wifi reconnected upon reboot and ads are being blocked.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kabuk1:
I'm going to try to reflash today so I'll definitely try this. Thanks!

It's just so weird because I only get this lag with this specific ROM, no others, not even stock.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] moralesd66:
I don't know if it's placebo but I can tell you that after clearing my efs folder this phone is flying! It's like I removed ton of overburden on it and it can now flex it's muscles. Thank you very much for this tip. I had files in that folder from early last year...Weird.

Connection Issues

I took a road trip recently and finally figured out what everyone was talking about with 4G issues. This is what I experienced:

1) If I never lost connection the phone would come back to 4G eventually

2) If I lost connection at all (out of service) the phone would take a long time to come back into service (even though someone else's phone got back into service faster)

3) When it did come back into service everything was messed up. There was no 4G and typically only one or two bars of service. I know this was the case because after cycling airplane mode I would have 4-5 bars and 4G coverage.

Hope this helps [MENTION=2260077]Android.Ninja[/MENTION]
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jancarlos1597:
I have this problem as well, any fix yet? It happens with the camera, with snapchat, and sometimes de DJI Drone App (only happened once).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kabuk1:
Clearing EFS made a big difference with my lag too. One word of warning though- if anyone does the fingerprint workaround that I posted, clear the EFS BEFORE doing it, not afterward. If you clear EFS after setting that up it will corrupt the stored prints/password and you'll have to reflash the whole ROM.

Update 3:

I had a couple forced crashes scrolling on a webpage in Chrome over the weekend. This is frustrating. nothing like filming your kids sporting event and having your phone crash to get you to start looking for a body of water to throw your phone into.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jays note 2:
Hey guys sorry for the late reply. The kernal I used was Beastmode, and try Xceed as well. Just keep in mind that will you likely encounter a Warning within VR when using these 2 kernals as VR will recognise your phone as the dreaded Note 7. To overcome this a Build Prop edit is needed to change your Product Model from Sm-n930v to either sm-n910v or 920v. I've edited mine to 920v without any problems.

This would imply that your model isn't Verizon. Have you tried flashing JasmineROM or PaulPizz MM to see if they load?

Can you use one of the phone info apps and post the baseband, bootloader, etc?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mrme12:
No it is a Verizon Note 4. And I fixed the issue.

The factory reset is not enough. I had to use wipe everything (except ext SD) including internal storage, instead of factory reset.

After that this rom installed fine.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mrme12:
As the connected wireless network, it shows "Connected to %1$s(2$s)" instead of the correct network name.

Under available networks the names are fine and correct.

Untick Networks notifications.

Yeah. Since I only use wifi at home I unselected mine since I don't need it to scan for available networks. Still connects automatically as soon as I get home. He might not want to do that though if he uses public WiFi

S-Pen Magnify/magnifier tool Issue

S-Pen Magnify/magnifier tool Issue:

Great ROM. One thing I noticed is when I go to use the magnifier app with my S-Pen, it doesn't magnify anything. It only shows the magnifier box/border, but no magnification inside the magnifier box. Anyone else notice this? I reflashed the ROM to see if that would help but no dice. Any known fix for this, or is this just another permanent/known bug for this ROM in progress? Thanks in advance...

Never the easy fix .. so Hangouts is installed as a user app correct ? Or system ? If you uninstalled and reinstalled it at a user level then it is what it is. Either way a possible solution jumps to mind . Uninstalled Hangouts then flash it via TWRP or flashfire (later might be better for modded balls which is where I'm leading you) let me ask you this : what if the background was black or completely transparent would that be deal breaker? I was thinking you flash the team blackout zip( Hangouts) from there repo and don't update if applicable . They (tbo) have an updated app and provide them pretty regularly i use them because I like the transparent theme looks cool on Hangouts . Black wasn't bad either. http://teamblackedout.com .

I could never get Hangouts working properly, but installing Lux Lite fixed the auto-brightness issue for me. That tells me that the light sensor is at least working properly.

Unfortunately I am still getting random force reboots on ZeroLemon Kernel.

Before I got my ZeroLemon, I used Xceed Kernel with the exact same applications, settings and perimeters, and it ran perfectly. Never had the phone screen go black and unresponsive until I pull the battery (which isn't the easiest thing with the case, lol)

This also happened many moons ago on a certain version of Emotion Kernel.

I've done all troubleshooting. Sometimes I can go 3 days without the black screen, sometimes it happens multiple times a day. When I go back to stock battery, and Xceed, it's fine, no black screens at all. Being conditioned for the longevity of the ZeroLemon makes stock not feel the same anymore. :(

I don't get it. Hopefully a newer release of BeastMode comes out.

It isn't any application because I can run Xceed for days on end with no problem under the same exact profile. This only started on Beast Mode (and Emotion Kernel at the time.)

Anyone else on BeastMode having this issue?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
You've probably already checked this, but have you looked to see if the battery is loose? When I got my ZL battery I had to layer on tape at the bottom to make sure it fit and wouldn't jostle out randomly. I've heard of it happening so I figured I'd ask.
