Hey there everyone, thanks so much Kevin for this ROM which seems to have a living community of Note 4 advocates here. I've been on a stock ROM for the past half a year and it's been agonizing. I love my Note 4 and it's so great that there are people that put the time and energy into this great phone. I was at a bar/restaurant the other day with my family and the television was so loud and it was one of those annoying reality TV shows where everyone was swearing and bleeping out the words. I unholstered my Note 4 and ever so casually turned down the volume. My family looked at me like I was a "nerd-god". I have to say.....I don't think I could ever give up those powers willingly with the newer "feels-good-in-the-hand" fairy phones out there. Give me my trusty Note 4! And what a joy it was to discover Magisk and Vanced today. I've been out of the ROM scene for so long.....

RamKernel_N910V_RC3 will fix any problem

i flash every single rom again with RamKernel_N910V_RC3_Permissive.zip batterry last 2 day (i have kernel adiutor freeze) wifi + data works just fine.

---------- Post added at 04:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 AM ----------

yea you are right, but for some reason i can not get wifi after flashing this rom and other roms note 4 turn off with data on (with magisk or Su) and (i have bootloader unlock and root 100% for sure)

i boot without root by the way problem is data on lol

if i flash this RamKernel_N910V_V8.1_Permissive.zip or this one RamKernel_N910V_RC6_Permissive.zip WiFi starts working instantly but phone keeps going off every time I turn on data or change to wifi.

only way to have wifi and data working perfect is with data fix and RC3 kernel for every single rom with this N910V (my other note 4 N910V as well dont have any of this problem i think)

right now i have [ROM] ManuProN5 Astra Dream S8 UX ROM v4.0F phone stays cold, very fast, battery lasts 2 days or more and phone is not turned off once yet, same with this rom, this one ALL IN ONE NORMA NOTE4 NOTE7PORT [6.0.1 N910F/G/P/T/V/W8 N915D/F/T N9100/6/8/8V/9] or any other but with data fix and RC3 kernel

this is the only rom [ROM][8.1][trlte] AICP 13.1 [UNOFFICIAL] working without any problems i only need flash and that set everything work like factory
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
These 2 things could be symptoms that you're bootloader hasn't been updated to 6.0.1. You can double check that with this app.

Please share a screen shot of your bootloader/modem info. The wifi should definitely be working without any additional steps and if you're using verizon service that should be working too. I'm not quite sure what needs to be done if you're using a prepaid, att, etc., but wifi should definitely be working for sure even with another service.

install this using Odin first

then

update your kernel

flash this using TWRP, you might have to install Magisk after Kernel update

hi thanks

that's my question lol, what happens if I'm doing that before installing any rom and still doing the same, even after and nothing?

this N910VVRU2CQL1_PartialFirmware_DevEd.tar.md5

and even this CQL1_modem.tar.md5
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] zfk110:
do the full TWRP Nandroid backup on your SD card then do whatever troubleshot you can do,if anything goes wrong you can restore it back, if you just follow the OP guide you shouldn't need to change kernel, modem, baseband etc so its hard to tell how you endup with all those mismatches.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FritzM:
Kevin,

I looked at Phone Info and my info matches what you have except for:

Bootloader Version = N910VVRU2CPD1

Kernel Version = 3.10.108_Flashpoint.v3.1

Modest_Kernel #1

32-bit

I am assuming I am ok and that you have just updated to a newer Android 6 bootloader and a different kernel?

Everything seems to work perfectly, so I just wanted to make sure.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] weaverinva:
Path forward from Modest.X and PD1

Hello all, great community here! Thank you [MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION] for your fine efforts.

I am way back. I am on Modest.X with bootloader PD1 (thought I was not suppose to mess with that so as not to lose bootloader unlock), and PDA/CSC/baseband of CQI2. Kernel is from rom and is 3.10.107_Modest Flashpoint.

Can someone point the way forward for me? Everything has been so solid for me that I have not wanted to change. I hope that 11 is better than X. Comments?

See to have had to stay at Magisk 16.0 to keep things stable along with xposed (SDK23) 87.1 by topjohnwu which is the last exposed which seems to work. xposed with Amplify and Greenify, it really keeps my phone in good shape. I lose .6% per hour at rest and I still have Aquamail (work) and gmail active. Such a workable phone still. However, I accidentially tried Oasis Feng's Island (Work Profile) and after 'destroying' the profile, my phone is still

Can anyone help like with [MENTION=7088122]jonathanjr321[/MENTION], what my path forward is? I assume backup with Titanium, an odin of the partial firmware, wipe everything other than bootloader and modem, flash 11 and restore only user apps, call log and SMS. I adept but it has been awhile. Thought about just reromming Modest.X again.

My recovery is TWRP at 3.0.2-0 which has worked for me for a long time.

Thank you for any recommendations.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] weaverinva:
In case this helps someone else, I followed [MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION] instructions and the worked for me well. However, I could not get latest Magisk to be stable--may have been me. The things that worked for me was Magisk 16.0 and then also I used xposed magisk module 87.3 sdk23. Also, I would get random reboots. I looked in the active applications and 'Mobile Services Manager' was constantly restarting. I disabled that app (frozen in TiB) and all seems well!

A great great rom that now makes my phone responsive again. I have Greenify in boost mode and Amplify operational. Excellent.

Thank you [MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION]!!!!!

PS: I have a 256GB microSDcard with an extra f2fs partition using Apps2SD (or App2SD [Free]) and have 5 big apps with their data linked to the SD card. Works like a charm.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jonathanjr321:
is anyone know or have any safe upgrade to N910VVRU2CQL1??
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I'm sorry for the delays in responding. I've been having a little more free time lately and will try and keep up better. Hopefully I can get some of the projects I've been working on completed too. The kernel is in a pretty good spot right now so I think I'll make another post about it. It has less features than Flashpoint 3.1 but I believe it's better overall and I'll be adding a few more things to it. See the next post for details.

You could try to just install the modified SamsungSans.apk through the stock package installer like you would other user apps. Of course the other phone would most likely need to be a Samsung phone, but there's a chance it will work.

That's correct. The newer bootloader isn't necessary I don't think although I'll probably end up updating to the CQL1 soon just for test purposes I suppose. As soon as I take the time to back up my internal sdcard since the process requires a factory reset and re-formatting the internal sdcard.

If you want to try the kernel I'm using check out the next post.

Unfortunately, the issues that you're having are the result of still being on an LP (5.1.1) bootloader and the only way to update to MM (6.0.1) is to go through the unlock process again with the hybrid firmware. You'll need to update to at least the CPD1 bootloader or you'll be stuck having to use either LP roms, AOSP, or some of the norma based roms and the only ones that are going to work as good as stock are the LP ones.

There's quite a few guides on how to do this in the general section. I also posted one as well in this thread but there's a few things that are kind of assumed in my guide so I'll add a few more details to it and repost it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
As I mentioned earlier, I've been working on a new kernel. I'm calling it Flashpoint v5 even though it has a lot less features than the previous versions, but I already renamed this thing enough already so I'm just going to ride this out.

Due to the recent changes in Magisk and the fact that I'm now going to start using AnyKernel by osm0sis I would suggest doing a little bit of housekeeping first. Magisk is completely changed from v17 and had removed and renamed a lot of stuff to stay ahead of the safety net game so this is what I did....

Download boot-CQL1-V-VZW-stock.img aka a stock CQL1 boot.img

Download Magisk v18

Download Flashpoint v5

Go to Magisk manager app and do a complete uninstall

Flash boot-CQL1-V-VZW-stock.img in TWRP (no need to rename) and reboot. If you need instruction on how to flash an image file in TWRP look here

Flash Magisk.v18 in TWRP and reboot

Flash Flashpoint.v5 in TWRP and reboot

Done

It's a bit of a process but stuff like this can save some headaches in the future.

Features:

Permissive

MSM Hotplug

Voltage Control

Adreno Idler

Kcal Color Control

Power Suspend

Option to disable CRC

Additional TCP Congestion Algorithms

I'll be adding more to this but for now it's running really well in my opinion. I'll try to get an extended battery version made asap too.

If anyone wants to use the profile that I've been using in Kernel Adiutor it will be attached to this post. You'll have to rename it from v0.1.txt to v0.1.json since I can't attach a .json file.

i know will be hard get anything for note 4 when is many other new model out there now lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I'll put a safe upgrade together hopefully later tonight but the problem is the bootloader is removed from the "safe" updates.

The root cause of a lot of the issues you're having is this difference:

Mine ^^

Yours ^^

Unfortunately safe updates won't fix that problem and Samsung/US carriers makes modifying their bootloaders very difficult as evidence by the SM-N910A which never did get unlock method.

This is the process that needs to be done on your phone for you to be on the proper bootloader. Once you're bootloader ends in CPD1 or newer you won't have to deal with the safe updates (unless you just want to).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FritzM:
Kevin,

I am already running Magisk 18. I just used the upgrade feature within the older Magisk (doing a TWRP backup first just in case) and the upgrade went without issue.

Is there a revised set of steps for upgrading to this new kernel if we are already running ok on Magisk 18?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] weaverinva:
Thank you Kevin! Does this new kernel support f2fs? I need that.

Also, is there a CQL1_modem firmware that you 'support'?

The v11 and its kernel is making my phone hot and I need to try something else or revert to .X or v9. I was trying v9 on an alternative junker Note 4 but I cannot Flash Flashpointv1. It will simply not flash over the enforcing kernel. I wonder if I somehow relocked my bootloader on that phone. I wonder how I could check...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] weaverinva:
Is there an xposed module that works well with this? I was using 87.1 SDK23 with Magisk 16 and that worked for exposed on this ROM? 18.0 and then 89.3 with cache clear causes hang on boot....

Update: I found that the only combination that works for me with xposed is Magisk 16 and xposed 87.1.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rfc360:
Hi Kevin,

Are you still working on that dark theme for Modest that you planning to release?

Thanks a million for all your hard work on keeping this up. I don't think I'll ever update unless they stop making batteries for the Note 4.

Regards,

Rod
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Yes, v5 does have F2FS support. For the heat issue, try running v5 with Kernel Adiutor settings that I posted and see if that helps. I removed all of the over-clocking from the cpu and gpu from the kernel itself and the KA profile undervolts -30 along with a few other cpu and hotplug options that should help with the heat.

The sure fire way to check whether or not your bootloader is still unlocked would be to boot into download mode and see if, at the 3rd line from the bottom of the small text at the top, it still says "mode:developer". If it does say developer then you're good to go still.

For system-less xposed, I put together an updated module for v87.3 that will work in the latest Magisk v18.1 (was just updated within the last 24 hrs). I got a couple things to post so I'll put it in the next post.

Ha! Yeah I'm still working on it. I spent the better part of last year trying to get that done and I really thought I'd been done before the new year but right now there's just too many sub menus that aren't cooperating. I've had to take a couple breaks from it to keep from going crazy but I will get that thing done eventually.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
System-less xposed and CQL1-safe firmware

Xposed v87.3 system-less unofficial

Since this is the last working version for our phone and the module is no longer compatible with Magisk 17 or higher I thought it'd be a good idea to keep it updated. This version will work for v18+.

xposed v87.3 system-less unofficial

Xposed installer app for Magisk

CQL1 Safe Firmware

CQL1-SAFE-Firmware - meaning that the stock recovery image is removed as well as the aboot (bootloader).

Sometimes when flashing the cache.img files get left out for done reason. So I'd recommend also flashing this file in TWRP after the Odin flash.

Cache files-flash in twrp.

You are wonderful! Thank you for your comments.

When I said safe CQL1 firmware, I was meaning the modem only but this firmware is 3.9GB so it is the entire rom!

Full flash and reload and things are so much better with 18.0 and the new kernel. Consistent. However...

It seems that with xposed installed Magisk can lose the ability to root after a bit. 87.3 may have this bug. I find that after awhile a new app will no longer be able to do root. Comments?

Also, interesting with deinstalling and reinstalling 18, 16 Magisk and also flashing some of the kernels, I have lost my wifi password and favorites, and several of my accounts have disappeared. Why would that be?

Still a great, great ROM. I just need to work this out. I used exposed for Greenify, Amplify, XinternalSD ,and a few others......

When uninstalling and reflashing Magisk and kernels, do I really need to clear the dalvik and cache? It takes a long time to reencode my 300 apps.

Magisk is just not working for me with xposed. I wonder if I should try flashing SuperSU.....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FritzM:
Kevin,

I had no problem upgrading from Magisk 18.0 to 18.1 (and Magisk Manager from 6 to 7) from within Magisk Manager, so do I really need to do the cleanup steps or can I just flash the v.5 Flashpoint kernel to try it out?

I was thinking I could skip the extra drama, but maybe there are things that have not been cleaned up properly by using the upgrade vs. remove/install?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
That's strange, I've been using this version for about a month and haven't lost root on any xposed or non xposed apps. Still waiting to hear more feedback about this xposed module and I made a thread for it yesterday in the "apps and themes" section for the Note 4 but I'm not sure if that gets looked at very often.

The passwords are because I only patched the kernel and not the rom just for keeping the system as original as possible. The downside is that you'll need a compatible kernel (all mine are) and that if you switch between a non compatible (like the stock kernel) and back to a compatible you'll need to re-enter passwords.

The accounts and favorites though I haven't a clue. There's no kind of data wipes or database manipulation with either the kernel or xposed zip. I flash any files that are posted quite a bit before posting it publicly and haven't ever experienced anything like that.

The xposed zip automatically clears dalvik cache/cache that's just the nature of xposed. It requires framework modifications and anytime you do that you have to rebuild dalvik cache. There are some older xposed zips that didn't include the wipe and just had it in the instructions but there were too many people skipping that step so it was eventually included in the zip.

Flashing magisk by itself while xposed is not installed or activated and you won't have to do any wipes (manually nor automatically). I'd recommend flashing xposed after you're sure that magisk and the kernel are installed and that everything is ok at that point. If at that point everything is ok then flash xposed.

If everything is working good for you then yes I would say just flash the v5 zip. I almost didn't include those steps because if your already using a verizon based kernel (oscar, flashpoint, or stock) then there's not really a need for reflashing the stock kernel other than the magisk cleanup which magisk does a pretty good job of within its installation anyway.

However, if coming from a kernel from a different model then you're likely to have issues.

The switch to AnyKernel was mostly due to being able to support both stock and port roms with one zip. Instead of completely swapping out the boot.img as most kernel zips do AnyKernel only swaps out the parts that have changed. For instance, if you're using beast mode kernel which is a sprint kernel and you flash my AnyKernel zip you'll still be left with a lot of sprint parts. I think I need to explain this better but I really hadn't intended on posting v5 yet since there's still more I wanted to add but it had been running so well for me. Maybe it is finished and I just don't know it yet?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] weaverinva:
Yes, it is. I have two N910V and I cannot seem to get things right. I did a scratch install of Modestv11 after doing your instructions with anykernel v5. Now root will not go and my device is hot with zygote running at 15-30%. Interestingly, I wanted to clean things up so I deinstalled magisk, flashed the stock vzw kernel (from a few posts back), and then flashed anyv5. When I came back up, it said magisk 15.3 was installed (no modules) and it allowed 3-5 root requests before not doing any more.

What is the best way to clean up my situation? I don't want to have to reload yet again. Does that clq1 boot vzw file clean up the boot and kernel with no magisk (or magisk xposed module) remnants? I could then flash v11 again if needed. Perhaps I should go back to one of your prior kernels. I keep trying! Thank you for the support. Any comments appreciated.

What are the compatible kernel's for VZW with v11? I would like to try another kernel but think I desire permissive. I assume that an enforcing kernel would not allow me to update the system partition even with root.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Try just flashing the magisk uninstaller and then flash Magisk v18.1. That should at least get magisk working correctly. The uninstaller will remove all of your modules though.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] weaverinva:
Thank you! My phone seems to have corrected itself by sitting overnight but no xposed installed yet. All good for now.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] zfk110:
Hi, Kevin I'm running on your Flashpoint Kernel v3.1 without any issues, Magisk 18.1 working fine, no bugs, I don't use Xposed since it breaks Safetynet. what are advantage or disadvantage not updating to anykernel v5?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
The only real advantage that I've noticed is that I'm getting better battery life, about 4 1/2 hrs SOT, and it takes away that little stutter in the keyboard that would pop up from time to time with 3.1. But if you haven't experienced anything like that there's not much to be gained.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] deezdrama:
I have had my verizon note 4 for 4-5 years and wanted to try a custom rom. Followed a guide to get temp root and unlock bootloader, install twrp ... im running android 8.1 with lineage 15.1 unofficial.

Ive since doing this get worse network reception, cant take videos , and phone freezes up several times a day where I have to remove battery.

Im wanting to flash something more stable like this with better reception (maybe I didnt flash an upgraded modem on lineage, idk) but it took me days of research to feel comfortable unlocking bootloader and flashing rom the last time, since my bootloader is unlocked and have twrp what all would I have to do to reflash your rom and a better modem since this ones not pulling good signal?

thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Yeah, for all the positives that lineage based roms has there's too many stability issues for me as well. This rom should be as stable as a stock rom aside from the fact that this one is deodexed which presents a few minor issues.

The only requirements for this rom is a MM bootloader (CPD1 or newer) and the most recent modem which is CQL1 although it should run even on an older modem. The bootloader is the most important since it will break wifi if it's not been updated.
