[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JOSHSKORN:
When I changed ROMs I wiped everything except for MicroSD and restored my apps manually just to make sure Google didn't automatically restore something that wasn't needed or incompatible. Not sure if that helps. The only times I've had problems with WiFi is when I had the wrong modem. Go into your settings and check the MAC address of your WiFi, it shouldn't be all zeroes. If it is, then there's a problem. That's what I was getting when my WiFi didn't again, I just used Odin to flash the correct file but it sounds like you already did that.

You should be able to find a Note 4 pretty cheap these days. Check Ebay, Craig's list, Groupon, and deal sites. Good luck.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Hobox10:
I'm fixing to switch to this rom from PaulPizz since it isn't updated anymore and I especially like the safetynet passing feature your kernel has. A few questions:

Is this achieved by systemless root? That's what magisk is used for right? I've never had a device using systemless/magisk before so are there big differences in usage to know?

Would the ZeroLemon kernel be useful to me if I use the Anker extended battery (6440mAh)?

"Pretty sure its not the MMC failure. I was able to get it back up and running for a short moment but it powered off and now I cant even get to download mode"

Look like it is Mmc failure. I bought two N4's that I though I will be able to fix with odin and other tools. I gave up after few days. I bought a new( used) motherboard and everything works perfectly. Tip: it is possible to find very cheap motherboards for this phone on aliexpress. Find some good youtube videos and it wont be that hard to swap the motherboards. But anyone who wants to do it has to be EXTREMLY patient and carefull, there is no place for rushing things- otherwise you'll end up with broken lcd and this lovely phone will be f##*ed up for good.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Did you get your wifi working? It's possible that your bootloader isn't updated properly. You can download the "Phone Info *Samsung*" app and check it. It should look like this.

Yes, it's systemless root and Magisk has its own busybox. The only difference between magisk and supersu is that magisk takes about 30 seconds to start after a reboot. This post has more info on setting it up for the first time. I think you'll really like magisk, there aren't any drawbacks that I've noticed.

The zl kernel is supposed to work on all extended batteries. I don't have an extended battery so I'm not sure about the effectiveness of it but theoretically it should work.

[MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION] I am also having a hard time getting advanced calling to work. I have removed from my acct on verizon, rebooted, etc...all the tricks minus flashing modem (the cure on htc) and reflashing rom with advanced calling removed from my acct. Any thoughts?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] princeendo:
It's working now. I actually borked the phone really badly, had to go back to Lollipop and re-unlock. Following everything meticulously, I am now on Modest v8 with working WiFi.

But I appreciate your tip! I will keep that in my pocket for future troubleshooting.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BeckPC:
I have two identical devices. One works with advanced calling, the other does not. It has nothing to do with the ROM. I can change SIM cards and it still does not work. I've flashed a backup from one phone to the other and it still won't work. Both have the exact same everything. I've gone to Verizon and they removed and re-added the service. It did no good at all.

So ... I think some phones just don't work with the advanced calling. It's not the ROM. I'll be honest, my voice calls aren't any better with it turned on either. The video calling from one N4 to the other is very crappy and choppy. I've tested it with six other Note 4 phones, so I'm sure my one device doesn't like advanced calling. I use Duo instead, if I really want to make a video call.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jmetcalfe84:
What exactly did you do wrong because i'm in the same boat about to move over to this rom from RR? I was thinking it would be as easy as the steps you outlined in your first post.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] princeendo:
I'm honestly not sure what I did wrong. I thought that flashing the updated modem and then the rom listed would do it. His recommendation was to check that your bootloader has matching values to the screenshot posted. By the time I got his message, I had already scrambled my phone trying to downgrade to something stable and then flashing forward, so I can't validate.

I also didn't do the factory reset -> update modem -> factory reset -> update rom cycle that is recommended. I did reset->modem flash->rom flash. I don't know if it matters, but I know my phone was messed up.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I've been wondering what I'm going to go to after this as well. Probably not another Samsung.

This worked to fix the advanced calling features [MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION] you should make it a sticky in your thread. [MENTION=7749128]BeckPC[/MENTION] give this a try, it worked, but finding the slim_apns requires some extra legwork.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rclksr:
This Worked!! Thanks. . I activated Advanced calling and finally Wifi calling.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] aer0zer0:
i would recommend the htc 10, its coming down on price, bootloader unlock and soff (costs 25 well worth it) still a bangin phone. and once you have soff, nothing matters, it doesnt go away with OTA's.

My work ordered me a S8+, got to say its pretty sweet. I see that Chainfire is working on root so maybe it will happen. We will see.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BeckPC:
Thank you! That actually worked. I guess this old spare of mine was used on a different network by the previous user. I now have HD calling available. I may play with the wifi calling later, but at least its activated now.

is there seriously a new software update?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JOSHSKORN:
I could be wrong but it sounds like kevin may not update his rom until he decides to add features, then maybe he'll utilize the new security update. At least that's the vibe I'm getting based on the poll he had recently made. Although it seems like recently a new update from him has been coming monthly, so it's probably not THAT bad if he's a little behind, considering, well...who else is still updating their ROM? Crickets are chirping on other threads.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] aer0zer0:
honestly i was suprised.....they even have updates anymore..... i had just assumed this was a "dead" phone at this juncture, it just worked well. It has more security updates from verizon than my HTC 10.....lol its pretty sad
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JuanDestrada:
Hey guys, I have 2 questions. are there 2 version? one normal and one debloated of this rom? I see the rom download link and then a modestdebloat.zip... what is that? I want a debloated version.

Also, I have the emotionOS (nougat) installed, with TWRP and root, will I have a problem if I follow the guide normally? Will I have to do something different?

thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Oh thanks for the heads up. I'm downloading the new firmware now and since my vote is the one breaking the tie I'll try to keep it updated as long as it seems like the rom is as good as the one that's already out. I thought v7 was kind of a step back from v6 and v8 but I'm hoping that one was an exception.

One thing that's kind of a bummer is that Verizon doesn't seem to have any interest in updated their source code for their kernels so I have to keep petitioning Samsung to release it. The last one took 3 weeks. I'm never going to get caught up. Lol

The rom is already debloated quite a bit. I just added the script to remove more stuff, although I don't think it's really necessary. I may ditch that debloat zip idea going forward but you can use that list as a template for anything else you may want to delete.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JuanDestrada:
Thanks for the answer, and what about flashing from emotion os?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
The only thing to keep an eye on is your bootloader version. It appears that all the aosp roms will work even on the Lp bootloader. For this rom it has to be on the CPD1 version. You can use an called <Phone Info *Samsung*> if you're not sure. If it's not updated properly your wifi will not turn on.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JuanDestrada:
Hi, I flashed the modem and still got the no wifi bug

what can I do to enable it?

thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Hobox10:
Does anyone know what this "fixes an email issue" might be? Would it have to be talking specifically about the built in email app or do you think it could be for email in general. Ever since I had this phone, I've had an issue with gmail where when I'm on wifi and the phone screen is off, I won't get gmail notifications. Once I turn on the screen, they'll all suddenly appear and I'll get the sounds. It's not wifi sleeping because I have it set to never sleep and in power setting it shows an solid bar. I know it's not wifi also because it doesn't happen with other data-based notifications like from games and stuff, only email.

Secondly, [MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION] - is it possible to have some sort of hard GPS compass value alteration? What I mean is, since day 1 of my phone, the GPS has always had issues with direction. It appears to be off by about -15 to -30 degrees or so. As in, if I point the phone at due north with the maps open, it'll show I'm pointing just slightly right of due north. If there is some way to override the values it reads to always add like 20 degrees to whatever the sensor is reporting, it would probably fix my issue. Do you know if this is something possible somehow?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
A couple of firmwares ago the changelog specifically mentioned outlook so I'm kind of assuming that's what they are talking about but it could be talking about the whole stock email app. I'm not really sure to be honest. Overall I think Verizon does a poor job of explaining the updates, almost every single one of them just says "bug fixes" and that's about it.

There's a couple things that you try for the gps if you haven't already. If you enable quick tools on your edge panel there's a calibration button that might help.

View attachment 4169554

I also used to use an app called faster gps that has a different way to help calibrate but I think it's just supposed to find you better. It may help with the compass as well though.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] zfk110:
Hi, Kevin

PaulPizz ROM doesn't have people edge enabled and your ROM does, if you dont mind telling us how did you enabled it which apps did you use it, I was trying to use PeopleStripe.apk, TaskEdgePanel.apk,AppsEdgePanel but it didn't work. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
There are framework edits that need to be done in services.jar and framework.jar. I used this guide. As far as the apps go they are also posted in that guide. You can use the people stripe app that's in this rom because I did have to edit that one a bit to get it to work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
CQE1 Modem

Here's a link to the CQE1 Modem if anyone wants to update now. The rom will probably be uploaded tomorrow. I have pretty much everything done already and just testing as much as I can.

Going forward, since it's a 50/50 split on the poll I'll keep updating the firmwares and try to add at least some new things if I can. When I started trying to build kernels I had quit working on mods altogether but recently I decided to redo my rom control app and get back into it. Admittedly, trying to learn to develop kernels, roms, mods, and learn Linux and Android Studio at the same time is probably not ideal and it's certainly slowed down the pace of new additions to this rom.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JuanDestrada:
Thanks brother. as a recap

I bought the phone untouched. Downgraded to 5.1.1 to root, unlock BL and instal TWRP and used emotion OS after RR didn't work as I would like to. After that I tried Modest without wifi. I've tried different modems with no success. I will post what happens after flashing this one.

Thanks again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JOSHSKORN:
Hey kevin. I have a feeling that the original ZL kernel is working as it should. Per your advice, I have not tested the newer version because you'd stated it's more of a beta.

I'd unplugged my phone at 7:30 am this morning, used my phone for a good 30 minutes on a car ride to the airport, sat and played with my phone for over an hour, got on a plane, used it again for 2 hours straight with offline games, then used it for 6 hours on GPS. Mind you, I had a good hour of drive time where I lost connection, but I'm pretty sure I was just in a dead zone. But offline data (using Maps) kept up perfectly. I also had my phone set for full brightness.

Long story short, my ZL battery percent dropped down to 24% from a full charge. 13 hours elapsed between unplugging my phone, 9-10 hours of heavy usage. I have nothing to compare it to, but I have a feeling a Note 4 with a stock battery would have had to been charging during the drive or the battery would drain totally out.

Unfortunately I need my phone tomorrow otherwise I'd drain it totally. Maybe on the way home I can do the reverse and then drain it until it shuts off.

Sorry for writing a novel. Based on what I said, do you think the kernel working as it should?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Docta001:
Hello

I notice that the recharge time of my battery has become very long (about 4h) since I installed the V8 version. I do not know if it comes from the ROM but I never had this problem with the other versions. (I use the same charger)

Also, a few days ago, my touch screen had stopped reacting to the touch of the fingers. I was obliged to update the tactile drivers so that it works again. This is the first time I see this problem on this ROM and I do not know if it comes from the V8 version.

If not, ROM is very fluid, Thanks Kevintm78 for this jewel.

I'll let you know if I see a few more things.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BeckPC:
Well, don't it figure! I just got 8 installed on my main device and my employee with the ZL battery. I did flash the new ZL kernel for him. Looks like you'll be updating it once a month at this rate. I have to say, version 8 is very fluid and responsive, without any additional tweaks. I'll give it time to settle and see how it works in the long term, but I'm sure it will be just fine.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Hobox10:
Hm yeah none of it worked. It's still off by small amount. I think it's a hardware issue so it can't just be recalibrated away. That's why I'm wondering if there's a way to directly alter the values that the instrument reports to add 15 degrees to whatever it reads. I don't know how much direct access to these things you have in the kernel though I feel like it must be possible, I just don't really know anything about Android in terms of systems programming.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
It's sounds like you'll need to update your bootloader. This guide will show you how. It's pretty much the same process as unlocking on Lp. Until that gets done you're going to have wifi issues on any 6.0.1 stock based rom.

It does sound like it's working. Since I've had this phone I've never had more than 5 hrs of screen on time. On average, if have a full battery, I can go all day at work with about 25% left with moderate use while having about 4 hrs of sot.

That's happened to me a time or two as well. What I do is unplug and then plug back in. If you're looking at the battery section in Settings you'll see it say adaptive charging when it's working. If that doesn't work try toggling fast charge off and then back on, but I think, in my case anyway, that dirt or pocket lint might get inside there mess with the contacts in the port.

Tell me about it, it seems like these updates come around quick sometimes. I just emailed Samsung again to get the updated firmware source code just days after getting them to post the CQD1 source. It's aggravating that Verizon won't release their source like everyone else does but hopefully Sammy doesn't get tired of my request.

I would say that you're right about hard coding it but I'm not sure exactly where to find it. I will look into though and see if I can find it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I think when I added smart manager it automatically moved the percentage toggle there. If you go to that app and then click on the battery, scroll down a bit and you'll see the toggle. Links are updated in Op as well.

Rom feels extremely smooth. I love the new phone and contacts. I notice the permissions engine for defaults is the older version where you can select Default or Just Once... Which I like better. Win!

Removing 3minit fixed an issue I was having with the status bar overlaying the screen content as if the screen was being stretched to the edge with any resolution adjustment for the status bar.

Other than I'm going to let it bake in for a day and then try OscarKernel with my new favorite adjustments that I ran on PaulPizz.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ruinertt:
I believe so. I'm still keeping an eye on it. It was working fine and then suddenly wouldn't go above 90% then next day. I rebooted, put on slow charge, and it went above 90%. I then switched back over to fast-charge and it went to 100% (jumped for 92% almost directly to 100%). Strange. Maybe it was a fluke, maybe it'll come back - who knows. I'll keep watching it.

*edit*

It charged up just fine (to 100%) using the fast charge option again. Maybe it was jus a weird hiccup/fluke.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ssb13:
I have to admit I run a lot on my phone, however I am not getting good batter life and my phone is running hot after about 24 hours on the ROM. I know it takes times for things to settle, and perhaps I could calibrate my battery, but the heat is kind of concerning.

Does anyone else have these experiences, or is it just me?

All I have added to the stock flash, was the removal of the 3minit, and I flashed Xposed framework, but have no modules yet.

Hey guys how do I switch or add a Google play account.

Have you tried a different kernel? Maybe that'll help.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ssb13:
I have not tried a new kernel yet. I like to give stock a few days before going to custom kernels.

I did however charge full, run Battery Calibration and things are much better. Not sure how that can affect the heat, maybe things were still settling.

I'm going to give it one more day before flashing Oscar

I just downloaded this and I'll be trying it tonight
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ssb13:
This morning was phone was super warm again pulling it off the charger. Then in about 2 hours I was down to about 70% with hardly any use.

Also last night when the battery below 20% is really ran slowly and sluggish.

I had to install OscarKernel this morning with what I feel are the best settings for my uses. Nightmare governor, fiops scheduler and MSM hotplug.

Running very smooth and the delay in had pressing the home button is gone. I'll see how it goes tonight and in the morning in after charging tomorrow.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Yeah I've been trying to look into the issue from your earlier posts. I definitely think that the stock kernel needs to be reworked. I'm running it on my phone without issue, but if your having issues then others probably are as well. I'm hoping to get some time tonight to really dig into it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ssb13:
No worries. I really love the governors and scheduler options in Oscar.

Thanks for all your hard work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ruinertt:
I'm not having any responsiveness issues at all. In fact, it's smoother than the PaulPizz ROM to be honest. I might install more Grace UX apps as they appear to be extremely responsive in comparison to the stock apps that come with the Note 4.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mwebb34:
No, but when I was charging my device it was at 83% i never turned it off when i pluged up the charger...I went to check it a few hours later and I hit the power button and it took it a good 5 secs for the screen to come on. When the screen came on all it showed was my wallpaper no apps status bar icons or anything. I had to pull the battery when I got it turned back on I noticed it hadn't charged any at all. Weird Iv been running this rom for awhile now and this is the 1st time this has ever happened!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mwebb34:
My phone is still lagging very badly. Has anyone been running this rom for about 3 weeks and have this problem? I'm gonna wipe cache and dalvik. If that doesn't work I guess I'll dirty flash modest and if that doesn't work...guess I'll try factory reset really don't wanna do that but if I have to I will.
