[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rpn377:
Hey, so I'm ready to switch over now. Tired of not having advanced calling as well as weird bugs like audio not working during video chats. Going to download latest build now. Will let you know if I run into anything.

Thanks for being active and keeping this updated. Will try the debloat style.

How stable is the debloat? I'm pretty sure I don't use any stock stuff aside from clock and calender but the debloat is pretty robust mentioning camera stuff and all sorts of services I'm not aware of :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
I've used Aquamail for years, love it. K9 is a really good free app. I don't think either accommodate Exchange though, if that's an issue for you.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I've tested Oscar and Exceed, those both work pretty well. In the future I may just build with the stock kernel since others may want that. You can also use the kernel download in the second post if you want to switch back it's the same one built into the rom.

This rom is already debloated more than most so you may just want to see what you think about as is first but most of the stuff in the zip are things that pertain to the hidden menu test apps. What you might want to do is just use your root explorer of choice to manually delete the apps from the list. Aside from one or two apps they should be in order and that way anything you might want to keep or are unsure of you can hang on to. I need to adjust it a little anyways so that it keeps the Samsung acct app.

[MENTION=5666120]YuckerDisMe[/MENTION] if you would like to help with testing I sure could use it and anyone else that might want to. Once I get caught up on a few requests I going to try to get the aroma installer working and the multi-dpi package. Multi dpi is driving me crazy, one time I test it and it works and the next it doesn't and then it does again, but it's pretty much ready. I'm just going to use the s6 contacts since it's very similar to ours and it works.

Potato Clock Only

Potato Clock, Gradient Statusbar only

Original System UI - if anyone wants to go back. You might have to clear the cache for the SystemUI.apk.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] YuckerDisMe:
Absolutely, just let me know anytime and i will be glad to help. Thanks for the potato clock, i am going to install it right now :)

Honestly, to me it doesn't necessarily matter if an app comes from the Note 4 or from another phone. If its too much just take an app from another phone, lol.

Update: I just downloaded and tested the potato clock and its working perfectly. You're the man :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Great let me know how it goes and I'll also send you the dpi package I've been working on to see what kind of results you get out of it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chelper:
I'm liking it. Very nice mod. Thanks again kevintm78.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] YuckerDisMe:
The potato clock is working great, thank you. I am also messing with the dpi so i would be the perfect guinea pig for it, lol.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rpn377:
My experience so far: looks like I found a new home!

I'm really happy to have advanced calling working again. I called my gf on att today and we had HD voice working and it sounded soo much better. The auto brightness is working a lot better too since outdoor mode has always been an issue with the others.

After installing another launcher (trying evie this time) I don't really miss anything from the other roms. I have 0 bugs and glitches while reinstalling and using everything. It also feels pretty smooth, and responsiveness is high (as high as TouchWiz can be). I also noticed my game (King of thieves) is less jittery.. So something about this kernel is better than those modified ones which seem to dip in fps once in a while.

I didn't use the deploat zip, just the main rom. I also installed using Hsbadr modified twrp.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
After a bit of a work-induced XDA sabbatical, I just went from v.4 to v.6, updated the modem (which had been on CPD1 since first unlocking the BL), and installed the posted kernel and debloat script after initial setup. Everything went smooth as can be and is running well.

Only issues I'm having so far are: Magisk won't install, says it doesn't have enough room in the boot partition, and fast charging isn't working. I saw some mentions about fast charging elsewhere in this thread, but I'm not clear if it's disabled by design to accommodate ZL users?

Battery life is TBD, just installed last night. I'm still using the same battery the phone came with, so I'm not expecting too much, but so far so good.

Youtube is fixed, don't know if the problem with video freeze had anything to do with v.4 (since I don't think more than a few of us had the issue), but it's awesome now.

Excellent work as always Kevin, thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
About the issues with Magisk and fast charging, you might want to try reflashing the kernel from the 2nd post. Does it look like fast charging is activated in settings but it's just not working or will it not even let you turn it on? The problem for the zerolemon battery is that fast charging needs to be disabled while the phone is off but from what I've seen there isn't a way to do that even on an all stock rom and kernel so it should be working even with the check box unchecked (at least while the phone is off that is, you can still turn it off while the phone is on). But I haven't seen the issue with Magisk before, I'll try to research that error message and see what I can come up with. I kind of think you might want to rewipe and reinstall, there may some things that didn't install right and you could end up finding more issues but I would definitely try just reinstalling the kernel first.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
Thanks, I'll try that later. On the road at the moment, and I think I want to give it a couple days anyway to see if anything else crops up.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KingAhmed:
Thanks, Gonna try this out
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rpn377:
I didn't debloat.. No problems with fast charging here.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
OK, now that I've had a chance to spend more time with it plugged in, it appears it really is fast charging, it's just telling me it isn't.

I reinstalled the kernel, but it hasn't helped with Magisk. Still get a message during install saying insufficient storage in boot partition, unable to unmount ramdisk, or something very similar. Should have wrote it down, my short term memory sucks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] YuckerDisMe:
I think it might be an issue with Magisk. When i first installed it using the order on the first page everything went fine for me but then after a couple of days Magisk "attempted" to update to a newer version and then it wouldn't work right again after that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
An unexpected surprise this morning...

I had emailed Samsung about 3 weeks ago asking why Verizon hasn't been updating their source code for the kernels. Until this morning they had only posted the CPD1 source which is the initial 6.0.1 code and the F&G models had all of their source code updates. I really didn't think anything would come of it but this morning I got an email and a link to the CQB2 source (just in time to be outdated in a week when the new firmware drops), but anyway at least it's more current.

I compiled the new source this morning and I'll attach a link to it. It's completely stock but permissive with just a few commits added to help it compile. If anyone wants to give it go.Stock Permissive Kernel

I really wasn't planning on posting this but it's running really well and I've been meaning to post a stock alternative anyway and this one is as good as any I think. Just be sure to uninstall Kernel Adiutor, it will block the cpu cores from turning on and off since it's installed as a system app.

TL;DR Verizon finally complies with GNU licensing and our custom kernels will now be up to date.

Source code for kernel

EDIT- I forgot to add that you will need to flash SuperSU to get root back after flashing the kernel. SUPERSU zip

[MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION] thanks for your work :) , i have a question can i use this rom on my n910w8 version ? many thanks for you help
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I think the rom will work but you'll most likely have to use a data fix. Is there one you usually use for roms built on other models? If not and you wouldn't mind testing I could help you get a proper data fix when I get home from work. Could you link me to a stock rom or firmware for the w8 model?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] elitedz:
thanks for your help ,i tried your rom but my sim is not recognized ,what is data fix ? there you can find all files for n910w8 N910W8 Files and repair repository
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I thought that would happen. The data fix will (hopefully) allow your sim card to get recognized. It's usually just a matter of swapping out some the files in the rom with some files from your firmware. I can try to make the zip on my phone since you already have the rom booted up but it might take a little while to put together. Probably about an hour depending on how much to download and unpack but I'll see what I can do.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] elitedz:
[MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION] i'll wait dont bother yourself ,do it [MENTION=313982]home[/MENTION] :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
I had the same problem on my N910v when I installed the T Mobile MaxOD rom a while back. The sim eventually appeared after a few data wipes and reboots. Had to use louferrignos data fix afterwards though. Don't know what the equivalent is for a W8?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
OK, nevermind! I did get the error and failure notification during installation, but just realized I had a Magisk icon in my app drawer. I clicked it and was prompted to update the app at the store, which I did. I ran the app and had a couple of green checks for status. When I clicked the Safety Net check, it failed with a CTC profile mismatch error. When I opened the Xposed installer, it was all green now (wasn't before). I installed NotifyClean and it's working fine.

I've never even heard of Magisk before this, and am still figuring out what it's doing.

The rom is officially perfect as far as I'm concerned. (Well, more perfect I should say).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] elitedz:
[MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION] i'm using twrp 3.1 for trlte and i cannot install xposed systemless and the one from wanam give me bootloop and i have an issue with magisk related to space in boot partition i guess , does this rom support f2fs file system i mean all the system is converted to f2fs sys,cache and data
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Ok, so hopefully this data fix will work for you. I might have to make a special kernel too, but I thought we could try this first. For Magisk, I used v11.1 first and then let the app update it like cleopete did and it worked for me.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] NinjaChachi:
I have been using this ROM for about a week and have been loving it! Don't really use any root features other than a few backup apps. Today all of a sudden my phone has started to randomly freeze, sometimes it will be for 30 seconds and I will be able to do something, others will require me to pull the battery. Any ideas on what's up?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JOSHSKORN:
[MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION] please check your Inbox. I just sent you a message a minute or so ago, and get back to me when you have a chance. It's regarding Fast Charging. Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Yes, that's the Linux version that the Note 4 ships with and the newest firmwares are still using that version. When I first started building a kernel I just followed what a couple other developers were doing but now that I'm starting to figure some of this out I'm not sure that upgrading the Linux version has any real benefits to it. From here on out I'm going to be a lot more selective about what goes into these kernels and for now I think a more stock approach might be best.

By the way, is your data working or have you had a chance to mess with it?

That sounds like it me by a battery issue. Do you undervolt the kernel at all? That can cause that kind of issue and I've also heard that a corrupt sdcard can as well. If it hasn't cleared up, I would suggest a factory reset or even a complete reinstall just to rule out the software but if I had to guess, I think it may be hardware related (battery or sdcard).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] elitedz:
everything is worling fine :) good rom ùany thanks for your help ^^ , i'll test and give you my feedback , fyi i tricked the update script for the rom and the kernel w8.modest to remove assert , and your stock kernel is working fine no need to install the w8.modest kernel , should i flash the kernel for w8 or keep the rom's kernel ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Oh yeah, good job! I had forgotten about the asserts. I usually don't use them but decided to put them in on this version.

For the kernel, if everything is good with the stock one then that's what I would use too. If you do decide to use the w8 one, I think I forgot to root it so you'll have to flash that Magisk zip that's in the post after you flash the kernel. Or SuperSU if you want, but I think I'm going to switch completely to Magisk in the future. I've been using magisk by itself that last few days and there doesn't seem to be any draw backs from it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
So Magisk supercedes SuperSU? I still have it from a restored backup after installing v.6. Should I remove it, or does it matter? Been running great since I updated Sat. night.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] elitedz:
i've extarcted the boot.img and i used twrp to flash the kernel i mean the stock kernel then i flashed magisk :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Yeah I really like it. Where I've been testing these unrooted kernels, all I'm doing is flashing magisk by itself and so far there doesn't seem to be any compatibility issues or anything like that. The only thing I've noticed is that 11.6 won't install right away through the app. I have to flash 11.1 first and then update through the app. 11.1 is the version that is in post#2 if you need it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] elitedz:
you can make a version without rootzip then let the user flash magisk and user magiskSU instead
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Android4_ever:
So... I got a replacement Anker battery and still have the same issues. Removed SD card with the same issues. Can you shoot me a link for the stock kernel? I'll flash that and see where it leaves me. Thanks for the help!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
That sucks, I hate to hear that you're having the kinds of issues. Here's the stock CQB2 Kernel. If after that you're still having problems, could you download a logcat app (Logcat Extreme is what I've been using lately) and try to catch a log of the reboots. Hopefully that will give us a better idea on how to fix it.

You'll also need to reflash supersu or magisk after you flash the kernel. Use the ones from the 3rd post.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Android4_ever:
Hey thanks a lot! I'll download a logcat app and send the logs to you. Ill get the stock kernel and supersu flashed and let you know how it goes.

Hello [MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION] Just wanted to say thank you for this ROM. It's excellent!! My signal is great and everything is working awesomely. MMS messages send in less then a second for me. No other ROM has done that. Much appreciated.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Mine isn't too bad. I'll post a screen shot of my current stats, but I'm running an updated kernel that I'm sill trying to get worked out. On average it's usually 4-5 hrs of screen on time but I still have my original battery from 2 yes ago. Even running complete stock I only get 3.5-4.5 hrs. I see others getting up to 7 or 8 but I've never had it that good that I remember.

Quick update, I am now able to make purchases once again from the play store or in app. WooHoo!

Only thing I have done since is flashed magisk and Xposed. So whatever happened between then and now fixed the issue. This ROM is beyond good my dude! :good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
What is everyone using magisk for?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Extra Virgin:
For Android pay , snapchat, pokemon
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
Maybe I'm missing the point. How do you use it for that? I thought it was more or less like exposed...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] homephysician:
It hides root, so you can actually use those apps.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xflbret:
I have only one problem with this ROM I can't seem to get past...

When I try to use the direct dial widget, so I can just dial my wife with one touch, it appears to get set up okay. But, when I try to use it, I just get a little bubble that says "app not installed.". I can't seem to figure this one out. Can someone help me please?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dhplap:
Hello [MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION] Was wondering if you or someone could help me. I want to install xposed but I just have one question. Do I have to reboot after flashing Magisk and then boot back into recovery to flash xposed or can I do them both at the same time as long as the order is Magisk first? Thank you
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Extra Virgin:
You can flash them both at the same time as long you follow order [MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION] stated.

Cool. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
Hi Kevin... a bit off topic maybe, but I'm trying to figure out how to use Magisk to allow Pokémon on my phone again (makes the kids happy). I removed SuperSU, flashed unSU.zip, but still can't pass SafetyNet (and now I'm unrooted). I think I need to flash a boot.img without SuperSu pre-installed. Any recommendations for something compatible with your ROM?

Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I think its something that got debloated. I'll attach what I thing is the culprit. Trying to help out with another rom at the moment and I'm not able to test it right now. If it starts force closing on you, you should be able to just delete it with a root explorer and reboot. But just in case it might not be a bad idea to have a back up. View attachment 4097800

You know, I've been having the same issue. There's a dev in the sprint forums that tried my kernel in his rom and didn't have any problems getting safetynet to pass so I think the kernel is patched right. I guess its rom related but I'm not sure what to about it. I've tried his suggestions but no luck. If I figure it out I'll let you know or maybe someone else has a solution hopefully. (or maybe the solution is his rom is just better than mine, but that can't be it, can it? lol) But seriously though, if it is something you need right away you could try his. It looks pretty amazing though I've not tried it yet. https://xdaforums.com/note-4-sprint/development/rom-dtuxrom-v5-redemption-t3424993
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
How could that be? Especially if he's using Sprint on purpose. This isn't that big of a deal for me, I've mostly been of the opinion of an app doesn't like root, I don't need or want it. If was hard and stressful getting this thing unlocked.

I might piddle around with it a bit more, and if I figure anything out I'll let you know. Spring break is over though, and it's back to work tomorrow so I don't know that I'll have much time.

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
Alright, not trying to be that guy but man... I can't get Magisk to work right on here. Anyone have a quick tutorial they can share?

Edit: got it installed properly. Still can't get Android pay to work. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] D_Anderoid:
Once you get the Xposed app installed, download the No Device Check Module from the downloads section of the app and install it. My SafetyNet check passed after I did this.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
Thanks, I'll get it out as soon as I get root back. Trying to figure out how to do it without SuperSu.

... Edit...

Couldn't remove SuperSu, or install Magisk v. 12 (which is weird as it was supposedly explicitly designed to fix a Samsung problem), but No Device Check was able to get me past the SafetyNet check, unfortunately Pokémon is having none of it. Oh well, not a particularly important issue really.

Hello, just wondering if anyone has figured out how to get a little better battery life out of this yet. I tried oscar kernel for awhile but still had about the same results. Don't know much about tweaking the kernel so I just left it the way it was.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chelper:
I would like to try some things out too, if anyone has suggestions. Can't express how much I love this rom though. Like having a new phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
I've got Amplify and Greenify installed with Xposed options. Battery life is about as good as it ever gets these days. It's the original battery. I usually charge a bit in the afternoon, but I seldom have to.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chelper:
I installed Amplify. It's my first time using it. Do you keep it with the the default settings or do you have any recommended services/wakelock/alarms that you tell it to monitor? I've used Greenify in the past, so I've got it installed now too. Thanks for the recommendations.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
Just install it and run the app. It's pretty low - maintenance. Greenify has a setting for root and root + Xposed. Not sure how much they help, but I use them.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xflbret:
Don't worry about fixing this one...maybe. I can't explain how or why, but this is working for me now. I made no changes. I just waited a few days and tried again.
