Yeah more or less. I'm sure it's still quite difficult to get it to boot but there less hurdles to overcome. Mostly the fact that TW is closed source and the bootloader. Those roms will boot on a Lp and MM bootloader. Plus there's the benefits of some major devs that were all building similar roms at that time and they could all learn from each other. Well, except for a few devs that for some reason think that shouldn't have to share their sources. Especially when they're getting the benefits of others who are sharing their sources.

If you ever wanted to get started working on roms let me know. It would certainly make things easier to have a partner. I didn't have any knowledge of rom or kernel building a year and half ago. The hardest part is finding the information to learn from. It is literally spread out all over the Internet.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JOSHSKORN:
Hook a brother up. I insist. I'm not making any promises, though but I'd still like to educate myself. Who knows, possibilities "may be" endless.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chappatti:
It would be nice if we do not compare one dev to another. The fact that neither you nor I can do this, is enough for us to be thankful that kevin does what he does. In cases of the non-stock ROMs also people cannot stop complaining how there are bugs, when "a 7.1.2 ROM is running on a 6.0 bootloader". Just think of that phrase, and you will realize that you have to force Nougat to run on a Marshmallow bootloader.

Yes, it would be nice to have 7.0, but if you can live with some incompatibilities, it is already available. hsbadr got me hacking my Note 4 to 6.0, so big thanks to him. Now kevin is perfecting a stable 6.0 ROM STOCK so I can use it everyday, so big thanks to him too. Together they got me where I am on my Note 4.

Thanks for the dirty ROM! Will flash and report. Of course, will back up before.

Do I still need the new modem?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
It's not 100% necessary for the new modem for the rom too work but I would go ahead and flash it when you get a chance.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] joot:
Kevin, noob question again. Do I do advance wipe, go to download mode, flash stock firmware AND then flash MOdest X Rom afterwards? Because I still cannot get 4G to work at all. Wifi works.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Yes. If you're having issues trying to get 4g that's what I would do.

When you flash the CQI2 safe firmware let it boot up so you can be sure that the 4g returned. Then go to recovery, wipe, and flash the rom.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] joot:
^^ OK, I will try this and report back...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] joot:
Kevin, the strangest thing again. With flashed stock firmware, I only get 3G, everything else works as expected. With this rom, I have a grey out 4G icon only. No data. Again, this is a Verizon variant N910V note 4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
With the stock firmware you were only getting 3g? I think we need to start there. Are you getting 4g from any other rom?

If so, you could flash one of the roms that give you 4g and then dirty flash this one, let it boot, then factory reset.

If you aren't getting 4g from other roms either there may be some residual effects from an international or aosp rom that's messing with you. If that's the case, the only real way to solve it (assuming it's not a sim card issue) is to use stock firmwares to flush that stuff out. But before we go down that path we can try to flash the entire csc folder just to make sure it's not something simple.

csc folder - try flashing this first to see if this helps.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] joot:
^^ When I was on 5.1.1 Lollipop rom, I was getting 4G. Ever since I've upgraded to MM (JasminRom 6.0.1), I've been only getting 3G on all the roms I've tried. Your ModestRom X is by far the smootest for my N910V, but only getting 3G...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Oh, ok. I would try a couple things, the order depending on which you think would be easier for you.

Back up your Internal sdcard and boot to recovery. Then go to advanced wipe and check every box except the micro sdcard and USB storage. Do that twice and flash this file in odin. It's an older firmware, CPL1, but I've used it several times to restore 4g after some of my failed attempts at making data fixes and it's just more proven than the most recent one I've made.

Eventually you'll have to upgrade your modem to CQI2 again but worry about that after you see 4g return. I would rinse and repeat the above steps again if doesn't work the first time.

The other thing I would do if that doesn't fix anything is bite the bullet and call verizon and tell them you can't get 4g. They can provision things on their end and if push comes to shove replace your sim card. Don't worry about being rooted or Knox being tripped or anything like that. I've never met a verizon rep that's ever cared about any of that stuff. Though, I probably wouldn't volunteer that information.

I think you'll be able to get it done with the stock firmware flashes. I've been in your position many times and so far that's worked for me.

I'm interested in giving you a hand. Looks as though you have two interested parties.

Flashing CQI2 modem with Odin (v3.11.1) headache! It keeps asking for the .pit file. if I provide a downloaded .pit file it complains "cannot repartition" ....of course, i did not tick the "repartition" box, since I dont want to lose all data yet.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

EDIT: AAAAAARG!! BAD CABLE ! Also, need to use Odin 3.12.7.

fixed now.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] li0nh3art3d:
You have to repartition to use a pit file. that's wbay the pit file is for... You could try salvaging the data if you successfully flash TWRP without the pit file..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chappatti:
True. I did not tick repartition. The flash did not finish, so I did not lose data.

BUT, Odin was ALWAYS asking for a .pit file. Why? This is the latest Odin. This was for flashing the modem. If I did not even load a .pit file it would cry!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] li0nh3art3d:
odin never asks me for a pit file unless I need to repartition on 3.12.3
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] corybucher:
If I'm on cyanogen 13 with cpf3 can I just Odin the cqi2 and flash this?

Will you be updating your ROM to include any patches for the recently discovered "Spectre flaw" when Google/Samsung releases such a patch?

TIA,

Just wondering of anyone had an answer? I've searched but didn't find anything
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RAGECANDYBAR:
Hi, I'm getting an error when flashing on my N910V:

format: make_ext4fs failed (1) on /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.2/by-name/systemmount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.2/by-name/system at /system: Block device required

Search brought up another user with the same issue, but they've gone silent since then. I'd appreciate any help, this rom seems pretty solid.

Pulled a log too if it helps :D

edit: ok I've fixed it. I tried installing from internal storage instead of the sd card, all good now. However I had to take my SD card out for it to work. Same SD card I used for unlocking the bootloader, but formatted back to normal.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Oxika95:
Hey Kev,

Thanks for all your help and the great work you do for the community. I am back on Modest ROM after testing out some others and I have to say it is by far my best most stable experience. However, where I live I don't get any cell reception so Wifi Calling is a must. Under advanced calling, there is an option for activating advanced calling and wifi calling. Wifi calling is grayed out with a message saying I need to activate advanced calling first. , I activate it says it already activated on my line and I should "Completely turn off my Phone" to finish setting up so I powered off then back on. And its back to the beginning again. Advanced calling never activates even though it recognizes I have turned it on on my line. Any suggestions?

Running latest Modest Rom X

flashpoint kernel 3.1

CPD1 bootloader

CQI2 modem

side note I would like to flash Flashpoint Kernel Extended battery version as I have the zerolemon 10000mah battery but does that fix the fast charging issue? I am unsure and is that just an odin flash in the AP slot?

Thanks again Kevin!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cjnaz:
Awesome ROM. Thanks to you Kevin, and a donation is coming your way.

Some point feedback and Q on what to expect:

1) Your OP instructions still reference the CPD1 modem, fyi. Maybe genericize the reference.

2) Prompted for Magisk Manager update. Clicking yes when offered does nothing, as did trying to update from within the Manager. To fix this I went to the Magisk thread via post #2 and followed the "Via custom recovery" manual install instructions. I am up to date, but I've not confirmed that the in-app updates work.

3) On LL BPA1 (rooted) I regularly received requests to install new Security Policy Updates (are these from Samsung or Verizon?). I've not see a popup on Modest X yet. Is it generally safe to take these SE policy updates, or will they interfere with the modded ROM operations?

--------------------

The problem I have with ROM changes is that it takes days of fiddling to re-set up the device. All of my preferred apps have to be reinstalled (and the data for many), the launcher screens need to be built up again, and I re-setup the SD card.

I'm curious about what the Best Known Methods are for quickly getting set up again after a ROM install and wipe?

What all I do...

1) Using Titanium backup, I made a backup of apps and data for all of the apps that I want installed on the new ROM, and then made an appsupdate.zip in TiBU. Encryption was turned off just to avoid hassles on the restore. After running the phone setup wizard I then went to TWRP and installed the appsupdate.zip. I found that the apps were installed, but not their data.

2) For the next try, in TiBU I did a Batch "Restore all apps with data" and on the next screen I selected the apps who's data I wanted to restore. This worked… apps installed and their data restored.

3) I've just now started using the Nova Launcher, and I see that it has a save and restore feature. I've added Nova to my TiBU backups list, so hopefully restoring Nova data will completely restore my desktop layout.

4) I see mention in this thread that I should be able to do a save and restore of the data partition via TWRP. Is this the best way to get the job done? What doesn't get backed up? System settings, such as WiFi/BT pairings? Does it usually work across ROM revs?

5) This time, coming from LL/BPA1, I decided to start with a fresh SD card. I put it in the phone and formatted it. I took a couple camera pictures to get the DCIM directory created, and then created an album, which went to the root of the SD card (I moved it to a sub-dir of DCIM). I then copied all of my photo albums from the PC into the DCIM directory. Next I linked up the phone with MediaMonkey and synched 30GB of music to the SD card. Lastly, I set TiBU to store backups in a TiBU directory on the SD card (and sync to Dropbox).

So all of this is pretty brute force and time consuming. What do you do that's smarter? What are your BKMs for setting up after a full wipe?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JOSHSKORN:
[MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION] there's been a security update, you may know this already. I was wondering if I could just flash the security update with this ROM or how does it work? It patches Blueborne and Krack, but I don't think it patches Meldown and/or Spectre.

https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-galaxy-note-4-update/
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] signupstuffid:
I'd like to know about this too. I'm in IT; and meltdown and spectre has everyone freaking out, and asking me if their phone is vulnerable.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JOSHSKORN:
The said security update doesn't patch Meltdown, nor Spectre, only the older Bluetooth vulnerabilities, BloodBourne and the WiFi exploit, Krack. Those, DO need to be patched, did need to get patched, don't get me wrong, and so do Meltdown & Spectre. Hopefully, we'll see either an explanation soon and a patch if needed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Hey everybody, I'm sorry I've been sort of a ghost around here lately. Things have been a little out of control lately around my neck of the woods and I just haven't had a lot of time to do much of anything. I'm really sorry about that and I will do my best to get caught up on some of the issues brought up in the last several posts.

That being said, I do have the most recent firmware download and I hope to have v11 up real soon. Judging from what verizon posted the krack attack is fixed, bluborne (I think was already fixed) is also specifically mentioned as fixed. Like JOSHKORN said there's no mention of spectre so hopefully we'll get another update or maybe a work around can be found.

As you can see in the screen shot the security patch is still listed as Aug 2017 which is kind of weird. So maybe (hopefully) they have another update in the works.

CQL1 MODEM is ready for anyone that would like to go ahead and update that. I'm still having a smartcard fc in the rom itself that I'm trying to track down but it shouldn't be much longer for the rom download.

Advanced Calling / WiFi Calling

I'm having those issues as well, starting from v10 I think. I'm going to retrace my steps and see what happened to it. I'll definitely make sure to get that working before the next release.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] uzziah0:
cjnaz,

That is a pretty thorough restore process.

I've tinkered with many ROMs on my S5, and basically did the Titanium, but not the restore of the ZIP from TWRP.

I check a few apps and back those up from their own backup (Tasker is one, can't remember others), I also back up the call logs and messages separately. Everything else just regular Titanium back up and restore on the new ROM. If there is a big change on the ROM, I let the app store restore the apps, and restore the data with Titanium.

I'd be interested in hearing is someone else has better ideas too.

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------

I believe Advanced Calling is Verizon's HD calling, which is over the Verizon LTE network. If you are not using Verizon, I don't think that works.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] uzziah0:
I am using the 910V Note 4 on T-Mobile, all the APN setting working and Root, I also like the S Pen (particularly for drawings I send in Messages). I am running Jasmine ROM v7.0, Android 6.0.1, CPF3. I have TWRP 3.0.2-0 (do I need to update this)?

I am looking into MODest ROM or Resurrection Remix ROM, my first big concern is losing Root. With MODest is it likely I'd lose root?

Also, will setting the APNs for T-Mobile be difficult?

And, will the camera and S Pen work?

Those are my big hesitations.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
ModestRom v11 __ Update!

With this version I decided to remove the edge panel from the base zip. Mostly because in order to get people edge working it requires additional s6/n7 apps and I would like to keep this as stock as possible. I'll get a zip together for those that would like to have it though.

As always I recommend a full wipe before install but for those that would like to try it a dirty flash should work. I tested it twice, first one went well and the second one was buggy so you never know. It seems to be like taking an official update sometimes you still have to factory reset and sometimes you don't.

Advanced Calling and WiFi Calling

This is a weird thing. It seems as though if it gets "grayed out" even flashing official firmware won't fix it, but once you get it working it survives multiple flashes of different roms. This is how I got mine working; it's the same fix that [MENTION=5947413]mharleston[/MENTION] brought to light a while back and I had forgotten about it.

Using any root explorer do the following:

-go to /system/csc/ and find the sales_code.dat file

-open with a text editor and change the VZW to TMB

-save that file and reboot

-after the reboot go back to the same file and change it back to VZW and reboot again

Once it boots back up check in Settings and you should be able to access both the Advanced Calling and WiFi Calling features. I did have to set my 911 address for WiFi Calling (don't remember having to do that before), but now all is well and it actually even worked on v10 as well. So you can do this process either before you flash v11 or after (or if you'd rather stay on v10).

Note 7 MultiWindow

If anyone would rather have the Note 7 version of multi window you can flash this View attachment Note.7-MultiWindow.zip. It seems to working pretty well so far. The only downside I've noticed is that to launch it you have to long press the Recent button instead of the Back button. So that effectively kills the previous use of long pressing the Recent button which is to bring up a menu but most apps have menu options anyway. I'll try to figure a way around that as I'm almost sure I've seen guides for button reassignment. If there's other issues with it let me know how to recreate the problem and I'll see what I can do.

Whew man, this is turning into a long post.:p

Anyway, the new rom and modem can be found in the Download Section of this thread.

The main changes between in v10 and v11 is the security updates for the Krack attack. As far the Spectre/Meltdown issue, from the limited information I found it appears that fix may be kernel related and there's been no official patch released for it yet. If I'm wrong about that please let me know and I'll try to get it fixed asap. Other than that it's the same as v10 without the edge panel. Oh, and I added the ability to swipe away/clear permanent notifications for those of you that are like me and have a phone without a sim card in it.

One other thing, if anyone is using this rom on a 910T and you live in India please let me know. I'm curious to know if Volte support is working.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Kurama_88:
Hello, I want to thank you for the work you are doing with this rom, the work done is excellent, at the same time I want to know if with this new version it will be possible to use the fingerprint in the PayPal application, thanks in advance..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
No, unfortunately I haven't been able to figure out the issue with PayPal. I'm thinking it may be one of those things that gets broken by deodexing the way screen mirroring, private mode, and smart stay do. There's work arounds for those though so I'm sure there's one for PayPal too. It's just a matter of figuring it out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
Nice work! My battery has been draining fast lately, which usually means it's time to reinstall... Great timing. The Edge panel is usually the first thing I disable, so I won't miss it. Can't wait to try this one out (though I probably will have to for a couple of days, can't have any phone down time atm).

Have you tried the Netflix app lately. Mine hadn't worked on the last version and the previous fix didn't help. Not a big deal, but thought I'd mention it. I haven't run Xposed on this last version.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Yeah, I like the idea of the edge panel but I never use it. I don't think I'll miss it either.

I just played a little bit of Stranger Things and everything seemed to be ok. Are you not able to login or is more like once you're logged in it won't play? If it errors out trying to open Netflix go to the magisk app and check to see if safetynet is passing, maybe there's something else tripping it.

Edit: sorry about the original message. I just read it again and it seemed confusing so I reworded it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Romans8vs1:
I installed v11 yesterday and my camera will not focus. Is there a fix for this?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] joot:
Kevin, thank you for this rom. So far this is the only rom I can get sending picture text (MMS) to be sent. However, there are two issues I've encountered:

1. Texting is lagging. Is there a fix for this?

2. When editing the sales_code.dat file for advanced calling feature, saving the file (with "TMP") will not stick. It keeps reverting back to VZW. Saving it as TMP, after reboot, it does not show "TMP", the file still shows "VZM". When I try to run advanced calling, I get this error message "unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped." How to fix this...?

When I tried to edit the file and save it, I am getting this error too:

"/sys/csc/sales_code.dat: open failed:EROFS (Read-only file system)"

I've changed the permission but still no go trying to save it...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
This may sound stupid but it could be possible that the lens has a smudge or dirt on it. That or you could try using a different kernel to see if that makes a difference but so far I haven't had any focus issues.

1. Are you meaning that the keyboard lags when typing in the messaging app or is it the app itself lags i.e. adding a photo, scrolling through emojis, scrolling through texts, sending texts. I've been using the stock messenger and it seems to be good on my end. You could try wiping dalvik-cache/cache in recovery to see if that helps.

2. I'm not sure if that's a typo but it should be "TMB" (for T-Mobile) and then back to "VZW" (for verizon wireless). If it's set on "VZM" that's probably not a valid code to match the framework which is most likely causing the fc.

That sales code tells the framework how each carrier would like that phone to look and which features to enable. When it's changed to the T-Mobile code you'll notice a few things right off the bat. For example, Quick Connect and S-Finder will be visible on the notification panel and the stock reboot menu is a little shorter. It's really quite an important file which is one the main reasons that data fixes have such a negative impact on other roms.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Romans8vs1:
Thanks. Doesn't sound stupid at all, that's the first thing I checked. I'll try another kernel and see if it helps.

Thanks for the response.
