[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
With v6 I decided to leave out the UI mods (3minit battery, potato clock, and gradient statusbar) since some people don't really like that sort of thing, but you can add them back with those zip files in the 3rd post. There's one that will add 3minit battery only and the other will add all 3. That seemed liked the best solution to trying to accommodate anyone they may want to use this.

How did it eventually turn out? If you're still having issues, would you be able to pull a log of some of the fc's? I'm really curious as to what is going on. Later today, I'll try and reflash it again to see if I can replicate what's happening, but when I first built it I flashed it a couple times and didn't have any issues but it seems like a rom never flashes exactly the same everytime.

You mean after a factory reset? I just suggest doing it that way because since 6.0.1 there's no easy way to alter the database after the rom boots for the first time which is why certain mods need to be implemented on first boot. With the debloat script there's a few things that get removed that you don't need once everything is up and running and I just think it would make setting everything back up a little easier.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mojoswagger1980:
hmmmm valid argument but given the awkward dirty flash (yuck) why not make flashable zips of the ui mods . offer them as addons instead of standard. idk that it would hurt anything (dirty flashing might be flawless) but just the term makes my skin crawl. BTW nice job on the ROM . truly nice to see someone making an honest attempt at tricking out the note 4 stock ROM rather than just port to that super lame edge **** (worthless even the 2nd gen). Mind you terrible example but refer to kyubi rom (the final) for examples of flashable ui mods . on that note you might do yourself a solid by offering a stock/debloat version(s) ......I personally don't use most of the pre-installed nonsense anyway. oh and for the record it's sitting pretty :victory: (ROM install) but I didn't attempt getting dirty with it
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Yeah they are flashable add ons (3rd post), the zip rom zip itself doesn't contain any UI mods. I also don't condone dirty flashing but if your dirty flashing the same rom on top of the same rom there's no risk of contamination.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BeckPC:
After the reset last night, I have not seen those issues since. It is possible that restoring all the apps (and data) using mybackup pro is what caused some strange issues. I should have just restored the few I use and not all of them. This time around, I let the app store download them and I'll deal with the data later. After all, it's a spare phone/test unit. I had a feeling that something was up after those programs were reinstalled.

Now.. you want to hear the oddest thing? You're right about no two flashes are ever really the same.

Note 4 (a) belongs to my neighbor.

Note 4 (b) belongs to his wife.

After a fresh wipe and install of v6 on BOTH devices (including the modem), one has the flashlight option in the notification panel, the other one doesn't. I couldn't explain it. It does appear on mine (the fresh install from this morning).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Yeah man, it's incredibly frustrating when testing these roms out. Sometimes I'll think I have everything just right and then I'll flash it again to double check and all of sudden something doesn't go right and where I don't have any partners in crime I'm basing everything off of how one phone reacts. It's a real pain in the ass having to wipe my only phone clean all of the time and set everything back up, but when I hear that people enjoy it really is all worth it.

The unfortunate part about the phone you have that's missing the flashlight toggle is that's one of those things that if it doesn't happen on first boot, there's nothing that can be done. Can you look to see if the others.xml is there in you csc folder. That's the file that sets the toggles and maybe it didn't install right, but either way if you want that toggle to show up it's going to require another clean flash unfortunately.

On a somewhat happier note I just about have the multi dpi figured out. The only app that's still giving issues is the contacts app which only effects the dialer, but the IncallUI is already done so once the call connects everything is good.

Stock email app

Howdy Kevin. I just flashed the new version of the ROM and I believe the debloat zip file as well. I don't see the old standard email application that originally came installed on the phone. Am I missing something? Is there any way of installing that application as well?

Thank you so much for your work. This is a great ROM.

Well wishes to all :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Oh yeah I can get that to you. I thought most people might want to use the grace version in the 3rd post, but if you'd rather have the original one I can post that as well.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DaninVT:
That would be awesome.

Thank you so much
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Here you go View attachment Stock.Email.zip
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DaninVT:
So I installed the debloat zip file thinking it would have the stock email application. Is there any way now to uninstall those debloat programs now that I have the stock email application without wiping everything and starting fresh?

Thanks again Kevin and sorry for troubling you.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
It may be a bit confusing the way I have all this setup but the debloat zip only removes apps and doesn't add anything. So if you flashed it you just removed the apps that are listed. Almost all of them are unnecessary for most people, the only one I would suggest adding back is the Samsung account app. I went ahead and added it to the 3rd post. My ultimate goal is to package all that stuff into one zip so you guys don't have 10 different zip files to flash to get what you want.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DaninVT:
Kevin,

The stock email application doesn't seem to be able to access my emails. It appears to have added my account, but does not seem to be able to receive or send emails. Any idea what may be the problem?

Thanks again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] 1Xfan:
daninVT, get the pro version of Titanium Backup and learn how to use it! It will save your butt! It has mine a couple times... https://youtu.be/bLPmVBXfTd4

:oHey Kevin! I've been super busy lately and hadn't even read anything on XDA. Thought I'd read through, and realized I am still on build 4 :laugh:

I did run 5 for a couple days, and then went back to 4. Anyway, cool man! I'm downloading the zip now :fingers-crossed:

Thank you for your work!:highfive:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Sorry I was up all night watching Iron Fist and then the Kentucky basketball game, after that I crashed and didn't wake up till this morning. Did it ever work for you? It's doing good on my end. Did you flash the Samsung account app? I don't think that would make a difference but you never know. Another thing, did it prompt you for a couple permissions went it first started? And is syncing set to <on> under your account settings? Other than that, I'm not quite sure what would be the issue. You could try uninstalling it, rebooting, and reinstalling.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Android4_ever:
Hey kevintm78 I just want to start off by saying that I love this ROM because it is so similar to a stock rom in look and function and because its intstalled on my girlfriends phone and SHE is not in any way a fan of "altering" her phone. She doesn't get it. Anyway I have an issue that is persistent no matter what or how I flash the rom. I've done advance wipes, up to 4X, before flashing rom. I've dirty flashed, flashed debloat after flashing, went back to unrooted stock then back to rooted and flashed rom to no avail. Here is the problem. I have all the restart options but no matter which I choose the phone just shuts off and does not restart. It requires a battery pull. And even then It takes about 10 minutes of no battery in the phone before I can restart. Also when I do reflash the rom or do anything that involves reovery with twrp or simply rebooting the phone the phone requires a battery pull of 10 minutes or more before it will even boot back up by pushing the power button. It may be just the phone itself as I read many posts that each flash may be different and this problem still persists. Was wondering if you had any other advice or ideas. Thanks again for all your work and this fantastic rom!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Hmm, that is a weird one. The only time I've experienced something like that is when I tried to get the new style power menu to work but even then it would hot reboot the device. So if I understand right, you can push the power button and you get the stock reboot menu, then you can push reboot, and you get the advanced power menu, but any of those selections make the phone shutdown. Is that right? Do you think you could get a log of it shutting down? There's one other thing you could try, go into TWRP and once you're in twrp go to reboot and then press recovery. That will reboot you right back into recovery. I'm just trying to figure out if it may be hardware related or not.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Android4_ever:
Thanks for the fast response. I'm at work at the moment and don't have the phone. You are correct about pushing power and get stock reboot menu and then press reboot and get the advanced power menu, and any of those selections powers off the phone and requires a battery pull. And The last time I tried reboot into recovery from TWRP the phone shut off and did not reboot at all and required a battery pull. And choosing system or power off in TWRP boot menu also requires a battery pull. And any battery pull requires me to wait about 10-15 minutes before I get any response from the power button or any power button+volume combo. I'll see what I can do when I get home for the logs. I'll send you what I can. Thanks again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Oh man, I think it may be hardware or battery related. TWRP is a separate software from the rom. Do you have another battery that you can test it with? Also I can get you a stock kernel to flash as well, that could be causing issues. If you have an sdcard try removing that too, I've heard that a corrupt sdcard can cause booting issues.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Oh_wow:
Awesome work!!

I'm on v5 and just downloaded v6 to flash and for some reason my PC is not recognizing my phone. I've flashed ROMs on this phone a half-dozen times over the last year on this same PC without a hitch. Don't understand what's going on. I've tried turning on developer options and USB debug on the phone and re-installing the Samsung drivers on my PC but still no communication. Odin doesn't see the phone either. Any ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xflbret:
After giving up on the endless problems that seem to permanently permeate Emotion, I reluctantly am trying a TW ROM. I chose this one. I am glad I did. Except for being TW, this seems great!

I do have one question...is there a way to unflash the 3minit mod? I wanted to go in to customize it, and it says that I can't because I have an ad blocker installed. You can have my ad blocker when you pry it from my cold dead hand! And, I'm not interested in running int he install-reboot-uninstall-reboot-repeat circle to accommodate these types of jerks. I'd rather just have it totally out. How do I get it out?

https://xdaforums.com/post_thanks.p...8670-9d1f305fa04ee7ff824b6562dd4094bb44a89daa

Thanks Kevin for your advice. I didn't get the stock email working. I first tried flashing the Samsung account app and that didn't fix it. I then tried a factory reset, wiping, and reinstalling the ROM and stock email app together, and didn't install the debloat zip. That didn't work either. I was asked for account settings upon initial boot up and it seemed to find my account, it just doesn't seem to be able download any emails (or send any either). But no worries. I installed the Microsoft Outlook app and that seems to work just fine so there's no need on my end to fix the stock email app.

A very positive improvement with this new version is that I am no longer having my bluetooth disconnecting constantly. I never once lost the bluetooth connection today. I am very happy about that.

One thing that I do miss from version 5 is the ability to turn on the flash light when the screen is black using the volume rocker. Is this something that can be added back?

Other than that, my battery life seems to be much improved and everything else I've encountered seems to be working like a champ. The phone feels very zippy and solid operating. You've done a great job with this ROM.

Once again, thank you for all of your work. You da man!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Thank you so much! Your support means a great deal to me and hearing how much you like this rom really puts big a smile on my face. :D

Have you tried flashing the kernel again. All that should be fixed with the kernel that was included. Try flashing it again and let me know how it goes.

I can get you a zip to get back to the original ui if want. I'll get that together soon, but just an FYI, if you get the pro version of 3minit battery settings in the play store you can run your ad blocker along side it.

Do you not have that option in Settings/Display/Torchlight? I have to say, I'm a little concerned to see the issues that some are having with things not working right or not showing up at all. I literally am not having any of these issues, but like I said before, I'm basing all this on the results of 1 phone. When I get a chance this week, I'm going to rebuild and double check everything. Recently I've been thinking of getting another note 4 if I can, just to be a little more sure of what's happening. I just don't know what to make of some of this stuff and I don't know a way to fix things when I can't replicate the issue.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DaninVT:
I feel like an idiot. Yes I do have the option for Torchlight in the Settings/Display menu. That works. I guess I didn't remember having to select that in the previous version (but that's my own forgetfulness).

I didn't get the email app working even after uninstalling and reinstalling it. But again, that's no big deal for me.

I apologize for causing any concerns in making it seem that features were not appearing with this ROM. Everything, other than the stock email app, seems to be working great on my phone.

Thank you again Kevin :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xflbret:
[MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION] thank you so much both for your response and your work on this ROM. I still hate TW, but that aside this seems pretty good. Anyway, about 3minit...I'd love something to flash it out of there, as I really don't want to clean flash again. I refuse to by the pro version. I've bought many apps, but I don't want to financially encourage any dev who treats ad blockers as evil. I can easily live without this mod. I look forward to the zip file you're getting together.

Once again, good work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] D_Anderoid:
You are correct, that is exactly what I did. So somehow when I first rooted this phone I must have missed the step to update the Bootloader from BPA1 to CPD1, which now that I think of it is why I was having heating issues with the first ROM I used, EmotionOS 7.1.1. But that's another story. lol

And to kevintm78 and this ROM, so far zero issues with any of my apps, fast and great battery life! YOU DA MAN!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Docta001:
I have a problem with the battery life in use. I made about 25 minutes of connection on wi-fi and lost about 12% of my battery.

If not in standby mode, this rom is great. very good work. In addition, no heating problem.

thank you very much.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
That's an area I've been trying to improve on and as soon as I can I'm going to rebuild the kernel again to see what kind of adjustments can be made for in use time. Maybe tonight or tomorrow I can get a newer version out. Unfortunately for kernel development there just isn't a lot of guides or threads on the subject and the few people that I've asked for advice from are unwilling to help. If you want to give it a try there's a program called Gov Tuner that I've been using the last couple days that's helped make a difference for me. I've been a little caught up with multi dpi on the contacts app, that's the last one left to get that part done but I might put that on hold for a bit too try and get some of this other stuff done.

I too have had similar battery results. I love the rom though and am very thankful for your work kevintm78.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] zfk110:
do you have a Samsung USB drivers?

http://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows

unzip it and then install it, that should work, if it doesn't then go to settings, about, click 7 times on build number, then go to developer options then go to check usb debugging then under usb configuration click o MTP, restart the phone and it should be good.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
If you read my post carefully, that's what I did. Flashed the new kernel as recommended by Kevintm78 but haven't had a chance to try again. Hoping to have time tomorrow.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] D_Anderoid:
My battery has been great, finally. Ive' been on battery for 9 hours and I am still 51% charged, I've even been playing games on it for most of that time but the screen and android system are at the top of the consumption list..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BeckPC:
Battery life really depends on what you're doing with it. I've got two N4's sitting here. One sits idle most of the time (its my spare). That battery will last 3 or 4 days. It does have a SIM (data only) and it's amazing. The difference of having a regular SIM (phone/data) vs data only SIM is downright incredible as far as battery life. Both devices are connected to wifi constantly.

My daily N4 is used 12-15 hours a day, and I get most of that on one charge. But ... if I'm in a low VZW signal area, it sucks it dry. All of the ROMs do that. Some games drain faster than others (Words with Friends). Some apps cause it drain faster too (Facebook). I use Greenify on those apps that I never load or open, but appear as a drain. I tried a few other build.prop tweaks, but they don't help any. I think the only way to save battery when it's in use is to slow down the fast processor. That affects performance, which doesn't make the 'instant gratification' portion of our souls very happy! I'll keep the fast phone, fast processor and my charger in my truck. I can fast charge anytime between jobs and I never have a problem. I'd love to see 24 hours of heavy use and still have some battery life, but I can also dream that I'm on a sandy beach with a cold drink in my hand and a pocket full of cash. But alas ... its only a dream. My wife's iphone last longer than mine, but I'm also doing 100 times more stuff with my device than she ever will (or can!)

I will add this one comment ... for anyone having strange issues, or odd battery drain ... try this. Reboot into recovery mode and wipe the cache (both of them) and reboot. After flashing the newer S-Voice, I was having some very odd issues. Doing this fixed them and I've not had a problem since.

UPDATE: The new S-Voice (from the S7) appeared to work, at first. But after a while, it failed miserably. It didn't take very long to fail. I was able to make hands free calls (about 3 of them) before it just stopped responding. I went back to the original and will deal with the issues. I dearly love S-Voice because I often create appointments and make calls while driving (using a BT device on my ear). Google Assistant is really nice, but doesn't work hands free. I wish it would. I'd switch in a heartbeat! Come on Google ... do we really need to touch to select which app is used to save a calendar appointment? They all use the SAME calendar!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] D_Anderoid:
Just found something that will be an issue for me. I tried to purchase an app from the google play store and it said there is something wrong with my account. I did a little research and the only thing I can find is my phone is now showing as uncertified with the play store because of this ROM. I never had an issue purchasing when I was on the EmotionOS, could be because I flashed whatever Gapps came with that ROM and this one you don't flash that app? Anyone else having this issue?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] zfk110:
did you check mtp? under usb configuration click on MTP, if for some reason its stuck to usb charging then it wont work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BeckPC:
I have purchased software from the Play Store on this ROM and it works fine. It's nothing to do with this ROM. I've also downloaded apps that I previously purchased without a problem. I've done this now on 5 devices (all note 4's running THIS ROM!) I believe the issue could be with your Google account, not the software. Time to contact Google Play Store.

The reason you had to previously install the Gapps was because that ROM didn't come with those pre-cooked inside. A lot of barebone ROMS do it this way. It's rather common, especially with the AOSP Roms. It's done to save space, and provide a cleaner install without the stuff some users don't want or need. Hence why there are so many variants of GAPPS.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] D_Anderoid:
Strange.. I was able to make a purchase off the bluestacks emulator using my main google play account. so that is good news cause it means my account is fine. When I went on the play store help section it said I need to contact my phone manufacturer to get it certified to work with google play.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] YuckerDisMe:
Hey Kevintm78, i just want to say thanks for an excellent ROM. I am having zero issues with it and look forward to future updates :)

I do have a question for you. Is there a way to get only the potato clock back without the 3min battery and the gradient bar?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Yeah that's not a problem. I have a few things I need to get to but things have been a little hectic this week. I still have a lot of plans for the kernel and rom as well, it's just a matter of getting a chance to do it. Thank you guys for being so patient, I promise to get some stuff this weekend.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] YuckerDisMe:
Sounds great, let me know if you need someone to help test the changes. I will be happy to help :)

Take your time. You are doing alot for us when you dont have too so the least we can do for you be patient, lol.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KingAhmed:
Does fingerprint work on this rom?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chelper:
Yes, it works as expected for me.

---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------

Are there any other kernels that we can try on this rom?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] YuckerDisMe:
There are other kernels that would work but none that are actively developed or kept up. So this will most likely be the best kernel available atm
