Hi Kevin,

I flashed v11 rom onto my Verizon Note 4 after doing a wipe (except data) twice. Updated to CQL1 baseband before I did this.

Everything works and the version is correctly reflected in the "About Phone" but I moticed that there was a bunch of bloatware that was installed when I checked my Application Manager. Is this normal? I had to go into each one and uninstall or disable if uninstall was not available...

:confused:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I think that's a magisk issue. Every now and again it doesn't install the manager app correctly. I'll attach the most recent manager apk to this post and just install it normally. You may I have to update it once the manager is installed but that can be done through the app itself.

View attachment MagiskManager-v5.5.5.apk

Awesome! I'll take a look and get back to you asap.

Yeah, I meant to make a post about that. When the playstore updates itself there's a download that comes through saying "updating google library (or libs, I can't remember) but it seems to be included in that. It's kind of annoying but I haven't figured out a way to stop it. It should be able to be uninstalled like any other user app. It doesn't happen on a port rom that I've been testing so I'm guessing there's something in the rom that is triggering it but I'm not exactly sure what it is at the moment.

I just reread your post again, was there an app that wasn't able to just uninstall? If so, let me know and I can either get the package name to delete it or I can make a zip to flash to get rid of it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nuclear_bullet:
Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the quick response, I guess I was just after some reassurance that it is an expected behavior/side effect.

I want to clarify, all the obvious bloatware is uninstallable, the stuff I guess I can't uninstall is bundled standard with the MODest rom since I remembered seeing it on V10. Stuff like 6th gear swipe and ViperFX.

No biggie, I'm probably one of the few who don't use those on my phone.

Awesome work by the way, thank you so much for the hardwork, after unlocking my bootloader a few months back, I can never go back to factory rom again, and I found MODest to be the best rom because I do rely on my Note 4's camera and being able to do 1080p60 videos. :o
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] fastguy:
Well I tried yesterday night. Unfortunately it does not even flash on N910T. I think there's an issue on the install script for N910T. Install was super quick like in 3 seconds without any error but with almost no files in /system neither.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
That's the same thing trexx88 got when trying to flash on the P model. I think I need to make a separate build using the old method for flashing on other models. It's really weird that it flashes on one model and not others with no asserts or anything (purposely) blocking it. It's the same mount points I use for the kernels. Sorry about that. I know wiping your phone for no reason was not what you wanted to do today. If you still want to try it at a later date I'll put another zip together soon. Hopefully by Tuesday.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] fastguy:
No problem, I can try if you make a ROM available. No rush, I'm now testing latest LineageOS after the failed flash attempt :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Looking at the logs there's a couple things that seem a little off. One thing all three have in common, as far as the apps go, is that when they're being opened the all say the same "view is null, can't set tracking node to view". From searching around the Internet it looks like two possibilities; the apps can't function in the dpi set by the phone or they're "out of memory" errors.

I would try 2 things. If you set the dpi lower than 560 than go back up to 560 and if you're close to running out of space on your internal sdcard then try to get at least 2gb of free space, then clear cache.

If that's already the case, try removing your external sdcard (just to rule that out as a suspect), uninstall any memory management apps if you have any (Kernel Adiutor should be ok), close all tasks before starting any cpu heavy apps, and if all else fails install the stock kernel (link is in Op).

I'll keep looking on this end to see what I can come up with. At this point, I think we just need to rule out a few things.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Snake-Plissken:
I have a couple more issues here.

Today I just had another "blackout" (screen went dark and phone was unresponsive). This was with oscar kernel. Yesterday it happened twiche with emotion kernel. But everytime (yesterday and today) when I am using google maps and navigation. The phone is mounted in a holder and hooked up to the car charger and is routing me. All of a sudden it goes black.

Another issue is, that I cant do any normal reboots. When I select reboot in the menu, the phone restarts and gets stuck at the first screen you see after turning on. Then I pull battery and it stays stuck a long time on the same screen and vibrates shortly. Screen goes black and LED indicater keeps pulsing. Then I have to pull the battery again. I have to do this a couple of times before the phone actually would boot back up...

I dont know if this is rom related...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
That sucks man. I'm getting ready to upload a much more stable version in a moment. I was tryingto add a couple more things but it isn't going well, so I think I'm going to lane it as it is.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Snake-Plissken:
sounds great. The phone just died by using it and browsing my contacts. :(

Just letting you know. maybe that helps to identify issues...

---------- Post added at 02:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 AM ----------

The problems get worse now. Now I get some bigger lags and if its a big lag, lasting for about 10 seconds the phone just shuts down and I have to remove the battery multiple times to get it back working. This is a pain, especially removing it every time from the Otterbox :(

Man, I am waiting for the update :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EdrickMG:
Problem definitely is based somehow with kernel, I disable one of the options and didn't have any reboots what's so ever, hot plug cpu or gpu I disable them and that resolve problem I have try different governors and no problem or could be tcp ip there are the only ones I got into troubles when I enable them currently double tap wake up and interactive x governor on emotion or nightmare in Oscar give me not a single one reboot
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I'm uploading the new version now.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Snake-Plissken:
can i flash the new version right over the old one or do i have to wipe?

---------- Post added at 04:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 AM ----------

Can you tell me which options exactly you disabled and where exactly they are. I have no reboots. The phone just shuts down completely. So far it only happend during "load". Couple of times durng navigation and some times when I was working with my phone. Sendich picutres and switching back and forward between apps.

I assume its in kernel auditor?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EdrickMG:
Kernel aditor that's right, well I tried disable all of them and one by one enabling it, culprit could be again hot plug cpu and gpu.... Those are the one who make device reboot

---------- Post added at 04:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 AM ----------

Waiting for your new version,i can't complain very stable and mods I use almost all of them
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Snake-Plissken:
I was only able to find CPU hotplug. No gpu.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EdrickMG:
Depends on kernel I belive emotion and Oscar has it maybe your are in other one like beast.... I don't know if they have it
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Snake-Plissken:
I still only see CPU hot plug. Gpu let's me just adjust frequencies.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
This things taking forever to upload, with my crappy wifi service, but it starting to move a little faster. If your having stability issues I would definitely do a clean flash (really should either way). There's stuff that sticks around even after full wipe, sometimes.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Snake-Plissken:
I guess I found a way to wake the phone back up and it tells me that "system is not responding" but i cant touch the screen to hit ok and close system. Nothing will work and I have to pull the battery a couple of times.

---------- Post added at 05:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 AM ----------

I am on oscar. Even on your screenshot i only see cpu hotplug. No gpu.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EdrickMG:
Sure!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Snake-Plissken:
Yeah I have that option. But inside is nothing about hot plug. Only got min max frequencies and governor.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EdrickMG:
LOL sorry my bad, yeah only. Option it's to change Governor of gpu well when you active it, either gpu Governor or hot plug msm make your device reboot just try to disable both try a while without them and I can be sure

... You may experience slowness but never a reboot :cowboy: tell me how it goes

---------- Post added at 05:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 AM ----------

I'm down loading it right away, which is the change log bro
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
ok, finally new version is up.

Edge features added, cool traffic mod, but mostly a stability update. I've updated the features list and screenshots in the first post.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Snake-Plissken:
Sounds good.will download and try tomorrow.

The op mentions that all apps are multi window. But for me almost every additionally installed app won't work in multi window. Except some already supporting MW by itself.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
There may be something else in play that is messing with your set up. I've never had any issue with the multi window mod. I would be sure to do as clean flash when you install the current rom. I attached a ss of my current apps.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Snake-Plissken:
I think I did it wrong. Now it works. I have to first add all apps manually to the side bar. I was using it via recent apps and then clicking on the multi window icon. But that solved the issue... Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Oxika95:
Hmm, strange. I remember back on v9 I had a dpi setting I could change but I never messed with it and I never bothered downloading or installing it again. As far as memory goes I have a 128gb micro SD with plenty of space and more than 2 gb on internal. I don't really use management apps either aside from greenify and amplify. Would those be suspect?

I'll try as much of that as possible. Would dpi changes persist through ROM flashes? If so I'll try a dpi changer too. Also mind giving me a quick rundown on how to flash a new kernel last time I tried it failed miserably.

Thanks Kev!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Balian67:
I too am having Netflix Issues.

I am on CPD1 Firmware (where I pretty much plan to stay unless someone convinces me that its worth it), with the latest Radio/Modem (CQL1).

I tried uninstalling Magisk using the uninstaller zip I downloaded from their thread. I tried updating Magisk from version 2.xx to 15.xxx and the update failed. I tried flashing the newest zip (both from the app and from the thread and the flashing fails. Do I need to flash the CQL1 Kernel then flash the latest Magisk? This is why I don't like when critical stuff is pre-installed or baked into ROMs.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] signupstuffid:
This is the the "screen mirror fix" for this ROM, or any TW ROM. You basically turn off HDCP. This will likely make Netflix, Amazon Prime video and other protected apps stop working via screen mirroring.

Edit: I tested Amazon Prime video and it worked. I tried bunch of other video apps, that worked, also. Still haven't tried other potentially protected apps like Netflix though.

Fix by either running a terminal and typing:

setprop wlan.wfd.hdcp disable

Permanent Fix

Put it in init.d-script to run after every reboot

or

Add this to your build.prop

(Use a Root enabled file browser, or build prop editor)

wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable

and reboot afterwards.

Works for me, just tried both methods!

Hi, Kevin I got wired issue, I got 910t running on 910T TWIZtd ROM N4, you are very helpful and knowledgeable person I thought let me ask you, if you can shade any light on it, when I go outside phone restart two three times, I thought it was a bad phone, I changed it, it was doing the same thing, I changed the battery, still does the same thing, if I use it at home or work whole day it wont restart as soon I go out traveling, it will just restart two three times and it doesn't matter if I'm using it or its just sitting idle. what I can do to find out what causing it? I tried with original ROM without any apps from play store to see if some apps might be doing it
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
It seems as though losing a signal causes a kernel panic. I've tried to catch it a time or two in a log but was never able to reproduce it consistently enough. There's an area of the interstate not far from me where I lose signal completely but my phone doesn't reboot at all in that area, only when I go to some of the remote areas that my last job used to take me to.

It took my a while to figure out what was happening because there doesn't appear to be much rhyme or reason to it. I'm not sure if it's some combination of signal loss plus certain apps that are running plus the color of the shirt your wearing or what. Does yours reboot consistently at the same spot? If so, you could grab a log of it and maybe we could figure it out? But that issue may be beyond my limits. The frustrating part of it is that it can't be just signal loss alone because I've lost signal plenty of times and not had a reboot. Sometimes the only way I knew my phone rebooted was seeing the Kernel Auditor notification that the reboot settings have applied. Maybe there's syncing going on during the signal loss or maybe it's just a flaw in the hardware. Someone posted something similar in my kernel thread a couple days ago. They have a W8 model and they were having similar issues.

Of course if you're getting a good signal when the reboots happen then maybe I've just been rambling about other problems. Lol. If it's a good signal area it could be a sim card issue. I just can't think of any thing else that would be different about where it works and where it doesn't. If you can figure anything out about or find out what the real problem is (if it's not a signal issue) please update me if you don't mind. I've been thinking about this issue for a long time with no real progress.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] maksimreder:
Kevin,

Any chance to get latest security patches rolled into this rom? Or is august the latest and greatest?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Yeah for some reason the last update that came out in January still has Aug as the security patch date. As far as I know that's the same as the other note 4 model updates as well.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Balian67:
Paypal, or Netflix will NOT work. I had NO problems with V9... Magisk in V11 is causing problems for me
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Netharion:
Got this strange issue lately, my phone randomly reboots throughout the day and sometimes my phone loses mobile data only way to get it back is cycle airplane mode, haven't changed anything on the phone though I did move to an area that's on the line between 3g and 4g. Running ModestX/flashpoint 3.1

Anybody seen this?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cjnaz:
Hi folks. Magisk developer topjohnwu released Magisk v16 and headed out for 4 months of military service. Any reports on the stability of this release on MODest X? I'm currently on v15.3.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sam298:
I am getting safetynet errors on all versions newer than 15.3. So downgraded to 15.3 with manager version 5.5.5 and staying there until 16 is fixed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] freduser:
No issues here, presently on modest x with magisk manager 5.6.1 and magisk 16. I haven't had the opportunity to upgrade to modest 11.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Really? That's strange I'm failing safetynet on both modest 11 and AstraRom using magisk v16. Are you using an enforcing kernel?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] freduser:
My apologies, I thought I had passed safetynet after the original upgrade to magisk 16. I am still running modest x. Apparently I haven't been using anything that presently requires safetynet pass.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I thought it was working at first too. Netflix was working ok, maybe it's hiding from some stuff. Just to make sure it wasn't a false negative I tried MarioRun and it wouldn't work so it killed that theory. Lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
Hi Kevin, was really looking forward to trying the new version, but I can't download it. I get an XDA error page saying I'm rate limited after too many requests from my IP, which seems weird as I haven't been on XDA in months. Anyone else having issues?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] signupstuffid:
I finally found a tool to remove the google proprietary apps and framework. It's called g-killer and is made by another xda user. It can be found at link below.

https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/aroma-google-services-debloater-t3668456

It was originally made for a different phone and ROM, but has been tested with other phones. I used it, and it seems to have worked fine for this ROM.

There are two options. One that removes the apps apks, and an extreme version that removes all traces of the apps including their App Folders, .jar, .prop, .sh, .so & .xml's.

I have only tested the version that removes the apks.

I will test the extreme version and report back.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
**UPDATE**

Nevermind, must be something with my account. I used a freshly imaged laptop at a Starbucks, and was able to download the ROM just fine, I'll be installing it shortly.

I put in a ticket with the forum and changed my ridiculously simple password which I hadn't changed in six-odd years I've been on this forum. I'm guessing somebody has been having some fun with it. :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
V.11 is working great so far. Installed the new Magisk before reading the rest of the thread, and had to reflash the rom again to lose root so I could play Pokemon Go with the wife. I'll try digging up the old Magisk versions later.

Netflix still doesn't work, won't authenticate I think, and hasn't since v.9, don't really care that much but. ..fyi. amazon Prime works fine.

Still playing around with it, sans root. Gonna install the YouTube background app, et.al., I'll report back with any pertinent feedback. Thanks again Kevin!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Awesome man! Thanks for the update. I'll attach the 15.3 version of magisk that should allow for Netflix and pokemon to work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I dont know how I miss posts but it seems to happen all the time.

Thanks for bringing this up. I haven't had much time to look into this. I'm eager to see what kind of advantages/disadvantages this brings to the table.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
Thanks for the Magisk zip, it's working great, and Pokemon has never been better. I couldn't make any of Vance's rooted YouTube apk's work, but the Magisk module is perfect.

Netflix still doesn't work, but I am beginning to think it has nothing to do with the ROM. It's not able to connect to the NF server, and this is reminding me of an issue I would occasionally have to deal with during the dark, dark days I spent working for Stream/Convergys providing Xbox "support". There were problems with the Xbox One at launch, where users couldn't access Netflix. Usually it meant calling Netflix support on a 3-way call and getting them to reset something...don't remember exactly what was involved (that's 9 months of my life I've tried hard to block from memory).

As you said v.11 isn't much different from X, it shouldn't be surprising that it is working quite well and I'm so glad you are keeping alive what would otherwise likely be a dead topic. My wife keeps asking "When are you going to upgrade your phone?" and I always tell her, "When kevintm stops making ROMs!"

Great work!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] zfk110:
HI, I found it issue it was the wrong baseband as you said when it was trying to hit the signal outside it restarted so I upgraded to newer baseband and since then I never have that issue, I got quick question about this ROM can we use screen mirroring on it?

Yes, but a build prop edit is required to make it work again. See my link from earlier in this thread.
