One feature I desperately miss from the Note5 port that was a 5.1.1 ROM is Long Pressing the Joe button to force an app to half screen so you could do dual screens. Is this feature available in the ROM, and if so, how would I do it? For example, I dock my phone on a magnet while drivibg, turn it sidesways. One side of the screen is Maps and the other is TuneIn Radio.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Snake-Plissken:
Oh I hate my phone. What would the phone cause to be stuck at the first screen when you turn it on. Some times I have to pull the battery about 10 times to get to the glowing Samsung logo screen and to boot up. Grrr. It drives me crazy. I don't think a bad battery would cause that or?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JOSHSKORN:
What all have you flashed...what kernel?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Snake-Plissken:
Just this Rom and sometimes with Oscar. But that's it. But it's my stupid phone, since I am the only one experiencing this issues. I have issues like this ever since I have the phone. Long lags and unresponsive. Before I was on stock roms and it got so bad in lollipop that I followed the unlock guide and installed this Rom. Samsung is clueless and their support is the usual it crowd response. (Try to turn it off and on) ????
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JOSHSKORN:
I could swear I had problems with Oscars but I don't remember if it was THAT kernel or nor what the exact problem was. Just start over and see what happens. Don't use that kernel.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Snake-Plissken:
It's the same with emotional kernel. Kernel doesn't matter. I flashed that Rom now about 10 times. Still the same...:(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I might be misunderstanding, but are you talking about the picture below? If so, that should be available now. I think I just had to turn on multi-window. It was off by default for some reason.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xanderharris86:
I switched over to grace for the last day to see if I could get it to work on there, but on it I couldn't even get the app to come up by saying "ok google"... so I flashed this google zip on that rom and it started listening for "ok google" but it's giving me the same retraining page every time. I'll probably switch over to modest in the next day or so to give it a try and I'll keep you updated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kd7tqn:
Hey, first I want to compliment on putting this rom together. I'm using it as my daily driver, and it's fast and reliable. I recently upgraded from v1 to the latest one you uploaded a few weeks ago.

Since i upgraded I am unable to get my wifi to turn on. It worked in v1. When I did the install I performed a complete wipe.

ANY help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jason
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Are you still using the stock kernel? If so maybe try flashing oscar kernel.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
Does this ROM have the "Native Tethering Subscription Check Disabled"? I have unlimited data and use WiFi hotspot all the time. It is the main reason I go to the trouble of rooting my phone. I didn't see it in the OP.

---------- Post added at 05:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 PM ----------

Also, doesn't look like it has Xposed framework cooked in. I've tried flashing it on other ROMs and it locks my phone. I'm not a wiz at this and would much rather have it already set up when I flash the ROM. Again, didn't see it in the OP - probably not there but thought it wouldn't hurt to ask to be sure.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
It doesn't have either one. Xposed was left out because I thought that would let people log in to snapchat, it doesn't, there's another process for that. I'll try and get the tethering mod working. The only guide I've found is for lollipop and it didn't work so I kind of put it on the back burner. But I'll try it again, maybe I just didn't do it right.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kd7tqn:
I was using the stock kernal, I've since downloaded and installed the oscar kernel, and still have no luck enabling my wifi. Also, I've noticed that my camera won't focus either. :-/

Jason
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
PaulPizzROM has the tethering mod and Xposed working on MM (but no 3Minit battery). Regarding 3Minit battery, I'm surprised no one has developed an Xposed module for it. I am up to the challenge of doing it manually (there's a YouTube video on how to do it) but I the link for the APKTool is broken and I can't find it with Google. If you can point me to it, I'd very much appreciate it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I think if you were to rewipe everything and flash again, those issues would go away. For reasons that I don't know, several users have had various issues when first installed. It may be that I need to include an extra data wipe in the flashing process or something with using a windows based kitchen instead of Linux based that most others use. You could try dirty flashing first but it may require a full wipe again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Yeah, no problem. The one I use is here or sometimes I'll use Tickle My Android if I'm having compiling issues, because it has several versions of apktool if one doesn't work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Future plans

So instead of having an entirely different rom with mods added, going forward I think I'll just contribute to more established roms. I'm going to leave this thread active and the download for the rom will stay up, but for now I'm going to make mods for PaulPizzROM that will be flashable. Thank you all for the nice feedback on this rom, it really means a lot to me, but for now I'll leave the rom making to the pros. :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EdrickMG:
Thanks you won't be forgotten you can be sure of it and you have done great things thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dkahs23:
You did a great job. Roms are tiresome and tedious. Best of luck.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] 1Xfan:
Note 4 goodies...

Thank you very much for putting this ROM together. I just moved here from the Note 3; which my wife is now sporting.

I just got a brand spanking new N4 vzw yesterday; skipped through the setup and installed kingOroot, adb'd the exploit, and ODINed the system only firmware. So here I am today unlocked and rooted on stock, and came across your ROM. Just downloaded it while reading through the posts. I see I need to also flash a kernel with this?. Currently I'm using Oscar kernel. However, I read you use "emotion" kernel (?); If I don't, I need to flash SU again before boot? And where do I get the Emotion kernel?

thanks a bunch for the goodness!!! :victory:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Oh I forgot about the kernel in that pm. I've used both a lot, but I am partial to emotion. If you decide to use it, there's a typo that's in the updater script you have to fix first or it won't flash.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] haitianluv05:
How do I get my 4G to work..currently it's showing 3G...I wiped everything except for the SD. I've install the rom and the vipersu booted fine but I can't get 4G to work...any ideas or help would be much appreciated.

Fixed...had to switch mobile network from LTE/CDMA to LTE/GSM/UMTS
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Icetech3:
Makes me sad you aren't going to continue your own rom.. this is by far the best rom i have had on my phone ever...

P.S. thanks for leaving the download... i need to reinstall, tried the cm14 and just having too many issues there..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Ha! You just helped me make my decision. I had been thinking about an update recently and if at least one other person wants to go down that road with me then that's good enough for me. I got a decent amount done already on the pj2 firmware that makes it pretty similar to the last version of this rom. Stay tuned....:)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EdrickMG:
I think the same.... Of above post I've surfing several Roms but... There is something missing you got
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Icetech3:
I don't know if it's already possible but can the DPI be set higher in this rom? everythign is really big on the screen and can't fit near as much. other than that it's been great:) thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lev777:
Awesome news! Looking forward to this!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Are you using the last version that had the s6 launcher? I didn't know if you knew how to switch to the 5x5 grid. I'm not a big fan of 4x4 grid. About the dpi, I've tried a couple times to change it and I just don't think I can pull it off yet. Soon hopefully :). I did resize a few things manually in the statusbar. There's a couple things I wanted to add to it, but it gets cluttered quick.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
Thanks! That was the last piece I was looking for. Just installed this a few days ago and I'm really liking it a lot. I was using CM14 but got really sick of that thread's tone, so it's back to MM, with its working camera and VR.

This has been running quite well with no real problems I've found. I had one odd random reboot while using Smart Audiobook Player, but I'm not convinced that's the ROM's fault, and it only happened once. Battery has been good and even Substratum mostly works (not all themes are happening but it's not supposed to work with Samsung anyway).

Haven't tried Xposed yet, but it's in the near future.

Thanks for a solid daily driver!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Lol, yeah looked like it was getting kind of tense over at thread for a bit. I'll have this rom updated soon, this firmware is a little different from the last few and I'm having a few issues, but i"m hoping to get it uploaded tonight.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
UPDATE!

The new rom is up! It's a work in progress with theming, there is a lot more that I want to do but I thought I would upload what I got while I had the bandwidth to do it. If you want a black notification panel you can download the zip attached and tomorrow I can get some other stuff done.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JOSHSKORN:
Noob questions here.

Can someone explain to me what CPG2 and CPJ2 are? Can I assume that any ROM that requires either of these two updates are 7.1 ROMs (like CM14)? Is MODestRom a 6.0 or 7.1 ROM? If it's 6.0, any plans to make it 7.1?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] supergrobi94:
[MENTION=5486037]JOSHSKORN[/MENTION]

CPG2 and CPJ2 are the last numbers of firmware names by Samsung. In full it would be N910VVRU2CPG2 and N910VVRU2CPJ2.

They have the following meaning:

P = Year (2016), J = Month (October) (It goes from A to L = Jan to Dec), 2 = Revision number

As you see, CPJ2 is the lastest firmware from Samsung.

MODestRom is based on Android 6.0 Samsung firmware. So far Samsung didn't released an Android 7.0 or 7.1 update for this device.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
There aren't a whole lot of differences between pf3,pg2, and pj2. There certainly aren't any visible differences. They're all 6.0 marshmallow and as far as I know they're mostly security updates. In my opinion the pg2 and pj2 run a little better.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JOSHSKORN:
OK then how do we have CM 14 aka 7.1? Can't MODestRom be made in 7.1 as well?

Sorry if it's a little off topic but i may not be the only one with this question.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] supergrobi94:
As long the devs stay with the firmware by Samsung, there will be no MODestRom, which based on CM14.

Tapatalk · Android
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JOSHSKORN:
Riddle me this...what makes CM14 a 7.1 mod? Will MODestRom ever be made 7.1? If not, why not? More like, "could" it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Cm 14 is built to have the same look and feel of 7.1, but it's still a 6.0 firmware. I guess you could think of it as like a port rom and the goal is to make feel as much as possible like a nougat rom without actually being one. That being said, I'm not sure if I have the skill level to pull something like that off.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
Cyanogen is based on Google's ASOP, while this is a Samsung Touchwiz ROM. You might as well ask for a Windows version of Final Cut, or Internet Explorer on OSX (just an example, no one wants that! ).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
Advanced calling.. no matter what ROM I try I get a "loop" on advanced calling. How are people getting this to work?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Are you saying that it won't switch on or it does turn on and just doesn't work? Do you get as far as the what's on the screen shot?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
No, it tells me it's active and restart start it will work. Once I restart it tells me to click to activate and then it tells me it's already activated on the line and to reboot... and repeat.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
That's strange, I didn't even have to activate mine. I had to activate wifi calling, but it was ok too. Did everything go ok when upgrading your firmware?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
Yes, everything flashed or Odined as expected. No issues.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Have you installed a CM rom recently? Do you run xposed? Sorry to ask so many questions.:)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
No CM recently. I do run xposed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Did you notice whether or not it was working right out of box. Do you debloat and change kernels?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
I do debloat but I flashed back just to see and still did the same thing. I'm downloading the full .Tar now and will Odin it back, flash recovery and reflash rom. Something had to not have stuck or chsngeed right.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
You could let it boot all the way up on the stock tar just to make sure that it comes on right. At the very least you'll know that whatever is breaking that feature is gone.

[MENTION=3302422]howellcp[/MENTION]
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
Ill give that a try and report back.

---------- Post added at 03:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 AM ----------

Same outcome. Annoying.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
It's not working on the stock tar? Are you using the one on the Op of this thread?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
No, I used the one PaulPizz made. Same one I used last time. Didn't notice this thread had one. Let me try it. I'll report back.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] revdirty:
i have the exact same issue .. activate, restart ,activate, restart never get to the screen to actually toggle it on or off.. just to activate . It not just this ROM but any I have tried.. nseven, paulpizz this one .. all the same.. the last version of this ROM did work .. I haven't tried the newest cpj2 version of this ROM yet .
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
That tar didn't fix it either. I've searched everywhere for answers and have tried just about all the fixes I can think of.

Glad I'm not the only one. I am be tried just about everything at this point. And yes, Dosent seem to matter what ROM I try. They all do the same thing. Some people have no issues and others have this looping going on.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
I think Advanced Calling is working on mine, just dirty flashed v4 over v2.

Only issue I've had so far is long press of the power button causes a reboot. Not a useful, full reboot, but a softish sort of reboot you can't get to recovery from. I installed xposed, and then NeoPowerMenu which solved the problem nicely.

Besides that, it's been awesome: GPS works fine, camera is good, Bluetooth is solid. Nice work, thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
Do any apps change once advance calling is active? Maybe we could make a zip of those files and flash them for those of us that have the issue.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
On that power button issue you may have to clean flash to fix it. There's quite a bit of changes in the framework between the new firmware and the old. You might could dirty flash again to see if it will overwrite the old framework better, but if that doesn't work a clean flash maybe the only solution.

I think when I get the chance today I'll start uninstalling the most likely apps one at a time to see if I can isolate the right ones. Also if you wouldn't mind downloading "alogcat" from the playstore, and see if you can capture the problem in a log. Just start the app and leave it in the background then try activating advanced calling (hit the activate a couple times if you can) and then go back to alogcat and save the log. Hopefully we can find some answers there too.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
Attached. Not sure it shows anything, I'm not sure how to read these.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
It doesn't look like it caught everything. I attached a pic of what mine is doing when deactivating and activating. You should see the ims apps doing things. By the way you haven't debloated any of the ims apps by chance? If not see if you can try it again and maybe let the log run a little longer and hopefully it will show us something.

Oh you know what, I just realized that there are 2 apps in the playstore with that name. Use the one called "(Root) alogcat" I think that one does a better job of grabbing everything.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
I let it run and used the alogcat you suggested.

I dont see any IMS running on mine when looking at the logs.

---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 AM ----------

I still have IMS installed on my phone. I just wiped them to clear any hung up data and rebooted. That didn't fix it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Cool, I'll look and see if I can figure anything out. I have four different apps that I have ims in the title. 1 in priv-app and 3 in the app folder. Do you have all those too?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
It's fine, adding a power menu via Xposed fixed it. Later I saw you had included 6th Gear which would probably have worked as well.

Dirty flashing is always a dice roll, but I use the Device Policy Manager for access to work stuff, so I have to get my boss to approve it every time I do a full factory restore, and he's usually not in a hurry.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Oh yeah that sounds like a pain. If you want I can make a flashable zip for just the services.jar, that may do the trick. But if you don't want to mess with it I understand that too.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
Yes, got them. Just for fun can you make a zip of the ones you have and I'll flash them on mine and see if that does anything?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Yeah sure if you want to give it a shot. link- I forgot to change the updater script so don't worry about what the screen reads when installing it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
No go. Worth a try.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
If you go to your csc folder do you have a file called features.xml and others.xml. I just have others.xml, but I'm not using xposed. Some modules will put the features.xml in there and that could be effecting things too. It's in /system/csc/
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
No features file.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
Thanks, but please don't make an effort. It's working great now. I wasn't really suggesting it needs fixing, just trying to give some useful feedback for a really nice ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I've been trying to go through that log while on my breaks today at work, so I haven't looked at all of it yet, but it definitely shows where is trying to connect and failing. Would you mind when you get a chance to give me a list of your debloated apps and which kernel your using. I'm going to try to recreate the problem if I can and then work backwards from it, because if what I saw in the logs is all that is said about it I'm not sure if or going to help much. But like I said there's still more of to go through so I'm hoping there is an answer in there somewhere.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
No problem, I'm doing all this while on break at work as well. I am using the TAR in your OP and stock Modest Rom V4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I got another shot in the dark, if you want to try. The zip that's attached is just a copy of the others.xml and imsprofile.xml. whenever you get a chance to try this, I'm hoping that maybe something is overwritten in one of these files, but if it doesn't work I should be home soon and will have more time to get in to this.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
Didn't work.
