[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
I just downloaded and flashed the Magisk.zip file, rebooted, then flashed the Xposed.zip file, rebooted and then installed the apk but when I launch Xposed, I get a big red banner with an exclamation mark stating that "Xposed Framework is not installed." When I go to the Samsung tab, there is an "Install/Update" button. I've tried running that and it says it is downloading but then I get an "Error 1 has occurred" and the status doesn't change. I've tried running it a few times and rebooting each time but no cigar. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or should do? I made a Nandroid just prior to all this so if it's not going to work then I'll just restore. Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Oh yeah, my bad I had forgotten about that. One of the changes that I made in the kernel was allowing Magisk to install properly. You should still be able to install Wanam's Xposed without Magisk. If not, I think I can get you a version of the kernel that will work soon. I definitely can when I get off work but I'll try to get it to you before than if you need it. The hotspot issue is something I'm going to have to check on as well. I was testing it to make sure that the tethering mod worked but I didn't check it for speed. I used to use my hotspot all the time but after my tablet quit working I rarely use it. I do think that overall the latest rom seems to be better in a lot of ways (speed, battery, and a much cleaner logcat) and really hoping to have at the very least the 3minit mod done tonight.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
Man! You're fantastic! I will definitely upgrade if you get your latest ROM with 3minit baked in. Would be nice if Xposed was baked in too but a working flash is just as good. I'm going to revert back to my Nandroid and wait for your updates. No need to get me anything before you get off work - I don't need it that urgently. BTW, there is no cable where I live and DSL sucks big time! I use my hotspot a lot! Last month my usage was almost 78GB! Gotta love unlimited data!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Haha! I just switched over to unlimited data so maybe that's the route I should go too. I live in small town as well and part of my problem is that my service area seems to be right on the edge of 4g and it skews my test results a bit. When I'm at work, in a decent sized city, I get crazy good Internet speed but lately it's been kind of bad at my house. I thought there was something wrong with my roms there for awhile and maybe there was but just last week I tried flashing jasmine and PaulPizz rom with a stock kernel to try and get a reference point on speed and I got pretty much the same results. Maybe verizon has changed something with there speeds but I haven't really seen anything about it.

Samsung account

Umm, here's something I just noticed, the debloat script removes the Samsung account app. I attached a zip to get that back and I'll take that out of the debloater. If anyone notices anything that's important to you just let me know. I tried to leave in stuff that I've seen people mention in this thread but just let me know if I missed something. I'm also going to post another zip that will remove a few more things too that I left in for myself or others.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BeckPC:
Is the new kernel built in? I noticed it's the same version listed in v5.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Yeah it's built in. It's pretty much the same as what's in v5 except I used the CQB2 ramdisk, fixed some permissions in the ramdisk, and removed the overclock. But it still has the same source image as before. This way it doesn't have all those cpu errors that I was seeing when running mpdecision and is compatible with Magisk.

By the way I should have the 3minit battery zip posted in a few minutes in post 2 for anyone that might want it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BeckPC:
Thanks Kevin. I've not seen any permission or force close issues at all. I reset it once more and it's doing great. After 8 hours of sitting idle in my truck yesterday, it only went down to 90% battery. Granted, I have a data only SIM. Without that, it would have stayed up much longer and used very little battery.

Just a note to new flashers out there ... if something doesn't work, go in to the app and check permissions. Turn them on. After the first boot, I couldn't see the SD card or phone while connected to my PC. It was just a permission issue that needed to be addressed. Actually, I turned on developer mode and turned on USB debugging. That fixed it. The only reason I had to do so, was because I ran the debloater zip file before booting the first time. Since then, I've wiped and reflashed the ROM, allowed it to boot and then ran the debloat zip. It hasn't been an issue since.

Now... one thing to remember. After flashing and debloating the ROM, you are left with a smooth, lean, untarnished ROM that is fast and free of extra stuff. It's a perfect playground for adding and modifying to your own hearts content. Yes ... something will be missing, but guess what? Nothing has been added either! The battery life is amazing, even slightly better than before. Tweaks are nice, but that's a customization thing. This is the first ROM I've seen that's even better than stock. Think of it as a clean slate for you to work your own type of magic and turn the device into your perfect phone/phablet/or whatever else you want to call the big toy in your hands.

Just one more side note ... there were two system apps I had to reinstall because I use them daily. Not everyone does though, so mileage will vary.

1. S-Voice ... I flashed the S7 version that I found on XDA a long time back. It works better than the one included here. It's a newer version with quite a few annoying bugs removed. No sense in posting version numbers because Samsung never quite kept that consistent.

2. Visual Voice Mail ... I flashed version 5 onto the device because the version 4.1.25 that's included in the ROM has a few bugs. For example, you can't change the VM notification sound from the default. It's nothing to do with the ROM, but MM 6.01. That's when the program was upgraded to version 5.0.07 and it fixed those problems, but it was never introduced on the N4 or in any of the ROMS I've ever seen.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] D_Anderoid:
First off this is an awesome ROM, thank you for all the hard work!

Now, to the issues. Lol

Flashed this last night per the instructions word for word.. let it sit while it was updating all my apps and what not from the play store and when I came back to it and tried to connect to WiFi there was no love, read through this thread in its entirety to see if someone else had this issue and found some indeed did so I followed it and tried everything mentioned by others to fix it and still no love. Well I have unlimited data now from verizon so I didn't care too much, and figurrd I would give it another shot when I got home tonight to see if it was something I missed.

Moving on, I decided to download titanium backup and restore my apps that the play store did not, we'll when I open it I got a message saying I don't have root! RUTROW! I also cheked with the root checker app. No good...

So now what?? I had root from the last ROM I came from which was the EmotionOS 7.1.1, is this what my problem could be? I have to change something like maybe the bootloader? Any help would be appreciated. TIA.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Honestly, the easiest process would be to just rewipe everything in TWRP and reinstall the rom (wipe everything a couple times actually). I'm afraid your going to have other random issues if you don't and just make sure your modem is updated to CQB2. Part of the problem is even though you're wiping in recovery, little bits of the previous rom will show even from one tw rom to another it's just not as noticeable since it's mostly compatible. Unfortunately there just isn't a much better way to transition from lineage/aosp to a tw rom other than flashing a couple times to flush everything out. I probably should put a notice in the op about going from aosp to tw rom. Are you using the newest TWRP that hasbr built? Because that could be causing issues too. He's been very vague (as in no info at all) on that thread and I still don't know if optimizing twrp for lineage means that it's not as good for tw rom.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] D_Anderoid:
Thank you for the quick response kevin!

I will reflash until I am blue in the face. Lol

I am using the latest TWRP build hasbdr posted as well. About root though, if I reflash the ROM it should come back or should I just flash the latest SuperSU available after I flash your ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
That's why I think there's something still there that's messing you up. SuperSu flashes in the rom zip and as far as I know no one has had an issue with Su no installing right, so you shouldn't need to do anything other than flash the Rom zip.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rhilway:
Awesome, Thanks again Kevin, Personally I think the potato mods and 3mnit and gradient are excellent. and if some people don't like them, they don't have to use them. Is there a way to add them back to the latest version? Im not looking to give you more work-could i just back them up with titanium and then restore on latest version, after I flash it?

You rock man!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Yeah I like them too. Eventually I'm going to set aside some time to learn to use that aroma installer but until then I guess I'll stick to the flashable zips. I'm going to get those together tonight and hopefully get them posted in a couple hours. They won't restore right if coming from another rom. Even with signatures disabled the SystemUI has to match.

By the way, You Rock Too!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Mods Added and Some info about questions/problems

I moved the 3minit only mod to the 3rd post and added a zip for 3minit battery, potato clock, and gradient statusbar together. Still trying to get things organized to make things easier to find.

A little update on what's going on:

Still Working On

I'm still going to try to get multi-dpi working when I get a chance to dig into it. The volume step mod is still really buggy and the "gods of mods" are still trying to get that sorted out, but when they do I'll try to get that added.

Hotspot

If someone could chime in on the slow hotspot speeds issue I would really appreciate it. On my end its working good, I get pretty much the same speeds on the hotspot as I do with my phone data but I don't use it often enough to get a good idea about it.

ZeroLemon

I've also learned very little about the ZeroLemon battery. I read the entire threads of the few that I could find about it and I'm not really convinced that there's a fix for it. The reports are all over the board with some claiming that they can get accurate readings and some can't and the fact that I don't have one makes it nearly impossible to troubleshoot or fix.

Random Thoughts

I think that's everything and just let me know if I've forgotten about something. There's been some good feedback on this rom and it really helps to motivate me to make it better. Don't be shy about asking about stuff or if you have questions on anything. I'm not going to flame anyone or get pissy if you don't understand something.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Wired4Fun:
Kind of an obscure question here, but do you know if it's possible to add the 'smart capture' feature to this ROM? This is the scrolling screenshot feature that is available in the Note 7. I really want to try this ROM, but I use that feature a lot so I've been sticking with the N7 ports for now.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
No it doesn't, I don't think. I was checking the play store to see if there was something you could add but didn't see anything promising, but I'll check into it to see if it can be added. There is a system app called scroll capture so maybe it's something that can be unlocked like the flashlight and toolbox.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BeckPC:
Kevin ... Do you have any idea of where the QmageDump files are coming from?

I just unlocked and rooted by 8th N4 device this morning. Immediately upgraded modem and flashed the newest ROM. That folder shows up every time, even after deleting it after a reboot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
Just wanted to let you know that this rom is awesome and I appreciate how willing you are to help figure anything out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Wired4Fun:
First off, your response time to everyone is pretty incredible. Next, yeah, I've also searched extensively throughout the playstore and web and have not been able to find a suitable replacement. There's a few stitching programs, but none that come close to the simplicity and brilliance of the factory version. I know many people may not use it, but once you do, it becomes quickly apparent that it's an incredibly useful tool.

I will keep my fingers crossed that you may be able to figure a way to add it to your ROM! Thank you so much for your efforts!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
It's similar to the tombstone files that get written during the boot up process. They're just there for debugging purposes. I think there's a way I can turn that off in the kernel but I haven't figured that out yet. You can just delete them though if you want.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] D_Anderoid:
Oh man more weird stuff happening now... went into reflash the ROM this morning and as I was trying to click the buttons in TWRP nothing was happening so I reflashed it in odin and when I finally got back into it and tried clicking buttons again I was still getting the same issue, come to find out I have to be slightly above the item I want to click! So now somehow my touchscreen is showing the icons properly but where I have to put my finger on the screen to open something in both TWRP and when I am in the system is off... what the heck is going on.. :(

I am wiping everything again and reflashing like I have just rooted the phone for the first time. Stay tuned...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chelper:
I'm loving this rom. Everything is working and the battery life has been much better than other TW roms I've tried. I have a question about two listed features.

What do the "6 in the Hotseat" and "Toolbox enabled" features do?

Thanks for all the work on this rom. It is great!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] D_Anderoid:
I finally fixed my issue, found out that I flashed the wrong TWRP, it was for the Note 4 Edge, DO NOT FLASH THAT! lol

If you do you will have to get into the secret hidden menu and re-calibrate the touchscreen. Everything is fixed now on that end and have re-flashed this ROM. I still do not have access to wifi so I will wipe and re-flash until it starts working like kevin mentioned I should do.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
The hotseat and tw swipe mods are only if you use the stock launcher but 6 in the hotseat allows you to put an extra app in the docked apps at the bottom. The Toolbox is a floating button that you can enable from your quick settings and you van put up to 5 short cuts to other apps. To edit which apps you want just long press on the floating button and you'll see "edit and remove" at the top of your screen. Just drag the button to the edit side and you'll get the list of apps to choose from.

It kind of sound like your bootloader may still be on 5.1.1. When the rom boots up does everything work except your wifi? Is this the twrp version your using? Do you think you could download "Device Tool" from the play store and look under the software tab to see if the bootloader says your on CPD1. That's the one you should be on. Like this.

Let me know how it goes. Well get this figured out. One other question, you have a 910V right?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chelper:
Thank you. Those are nice features and I would never have found them. Like I said, I am really enjoying this rom.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] D_Anderoid:
There is my issue, I am on bootloader BPA1, I have tried flashing CPD1 multiple times with ODIN and it will not change to CPD1 at all, still says I am on BPA1.

Yes I have a N910V
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JOSHSKORN:
Are you even unlocked and rooted?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] D_Anderoid:
Yes, I followed the unlock and root thread from lolliepop to MM. My device shows rooted as well. I have been using ODIN 3.12 to flash.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Oh, yeah that's the issue. You'll have to upgrade and unlock your bootloader again. This is the official MM bootloader unlock guide, but there's not a lot info in the OP so I usually point people to this post that explains the process in better detail.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JOSHSKORN:
Yeah BPA1 should be long gone after upgrading to MM and unlocking and rooting again. I don't remember how many files were involved in just the upgrade from Safe Upgrade 5.1.1 to Safe 6.0.1 Upgrade (not counting the Unlocking/rooting process you end up having to do twice). I'm thinking a ROM and a modem file, and if so, maybe you missed one. Look into it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Arcolog2:
Hey Kevin, just read through the entire thread and enjoy your responsiveness. Im on PaulPizzRom right now, but am about to install this once I can find my thumbdrive , where is that sucker.....

My question is in reference to the new verizon unlimited data. Are our Roms able to hide the fact of tethering still? I know we have the provision to check subscription disabled, but I was curious if Verizon was doing something different to monitor tethered data. T-mobile uses TTL, which is able to be bypassed in a few ways. I'm afraid to switch from the old unlimited plan to this new one, and this is one of the concerns I have.

Thanks for the help, and I cant wait to get this installed.

Dave
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I have the subscription check disabled and as far as I know that's the only way they monitor it, but I have seen a guide for the t-mobile check disabled and will check into soon to see if there's more to be done. As it is now when I remove the SPG app (verizon's hotspot app) I get fc's in Settings. What I would like to do is get rid of that completely. I feel like that would definitely do it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] D_Anderoid:
I am giving up for now, I almost completely screwed my phone up and lost everything on my sdcard due to corruption in this process of trying to get CQB2 as the bootloader. It just will not take no matter how many times I flash it in ODIN and follow the steps from the link provided by kevin. Maybe a fresh start after a break will do me good.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Did you see the pm that I sent to you about trying to flash with Odin the hybrid firmware. That's the only firmware that you can flash that will increment the bootloader without flashing the official firmware from Samsung. All the other "safe" firmwares have had the aboot removed so that the bootloader doesn't change. Also, just to make sure you're aware, you don't want your bootloader to be upgraded beyond CPD1. Once you get the bootloader to CPD1 the only thing you want to upgrade is your modem which needs to be on CQB2. I know it's all a little confusing and info is spread out all over the place, but if you want to try again later on and have questions just let me know.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] D_Anderoid:
I finally came back after a short break and started from scratch since I had nothing to lose. Flashed the 5.1.1 firmware back with ODIN and went back through the root process. Finally got to where I could flash your ROM and once all the dust settled, viola! Everything is working as it should! :highfive:

As I said before, thank you for the quick replies and ideas. Now it's time to test drive this beast! :good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Fantastic! I'm thrilled that you got it straightened out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JOSHSKORN:
Just to be sure, you went back to 5.1.1, unlocked, rooted, then took the safe upgrade to MM, then unlocked and rooted a second time, BEFORE flashing the modem and MoDestRom, yes?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JOSHSKORN:
[MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION] are you by chance releasing another update very soon (as in within the next week)? I'm still having problems with my GPS, but I think it might be my fault. I had a GPS calibration app installed and it might be conflicting with the Maps calibration, so I'm thinking I might as well flash the newest version and try again, but this time don't select the option to install all of my apps.

Edit: I noticed that I'm on CQA1/MoDestRom v5, which isn't the latest, but I also noticed after writing this post that your latest update was this past Friday 3/17. Based on my previous inquiries regarding the time on the status bar, will i need to install something that you've left out and put separately for this version? (Potato Clock in Post #3) Can you explain what those two items are, then (☆☆3minit Battery Flashable for v6☆☆ and ☆☆3minit Battery-Potato Clock-Gradient Statusbar for v6☆☆ ?)

Also, what is the correct order to flash and wipe everything? So far I'm thinking:

Flash the modem using Odin in Download mode

Wipe everything except SD Card (I wipe Internal, as well, but I don't know why or why not)

Flash MoDestRom

Wipe Dalvik/cache and reboot System

After it boots up, power down

Boot to TWRP

Flash Debloater Script

Wipe Dalvik/cache and reboot System

Done

Also, based on my inquiry with Post #3 attachments, when do I flash those items (if needed)?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BeckPC:
After fixing up this last phone I have, I have had a few issues with v6. I did not de-bloat this time before running the ROM the first time. I decided I would restore my apps using Google. It's been sitting here for 2 hours saying installing 0 of 115 apps. It just will not continue. It's stuck on installing the very first app. And of course there is no way to stop it, other than rebooting. After the reboot, it's showing 114 apps and it appears to be continuing along its way. Its up to 6 of 114 now.

Last night, before I did a wipe and reset, I was getting FC errors on Settings and a few other things. Not sure what happened, but yesterday I didn't restore my apps that way. I did it using MyBackup Pro. The backup was made from my v5 phone. Never had a problem with that one, so not sure what's going on. Will reply again later after this restore is complete and let you know of any other issues. I still have my daily phone running v5 and it's perfect.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mojoswagger1980:
I don't want to be that guy but....... if I dirty flash after reboot wouldn't that just reinstall the bloatware ?
