Still hasn't come to me yet. Maybe in the next couple of days. Thanks for keeping me updated on the volume step thing! Love your ROMs!

How do I remove the 3min battery thing and the potato clock? I'm a fan of the stock look. Can I just remove using TB? If indo will the regular icons come back?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
No, it's hard coded into the SystemUI and removing the companion apps will cause the UI to fc. I can make you one without it if you want. Do you want the gradient statusbar or all original?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
All OG if possible. Thank you!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
In the interest of time (and laziness) I pulled some of the xml files out of the stock plus rom so the verizon label and the help text is also removed from the lock screen. Also disregard the text while it's flashing, I had made a 3minit mod and never got around to posting it. After you flash it you can remove all the extra apps that go with 3minit and the potato mods. It's already zip aligned as well. Stock UI
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JOSHSKORN:
Weird, I'd never heard of that before (touching the GPS signal on Google maps). It didn't ask for any permissions, but it did calibrate. I did test it once. I forgot to set my GPS when I went out because I already knew where I was going and was in a hurry, but on my way home, I set it and it worked as expected. That is, it told me where to go at the correct time it was suppose to tell me (as in warning me of a turn a few hundred feet in advance), not telling me to turn as I was approaching the middle of an intersection. Now in terms of the "GPS Signal lost", I didn't get that problem once. I still need to do more tests, though. One drive isn't enough for me to say the problems are all completely solved.

Why, though do we have to do this ever since upgrading to 6.0? Seems like a step backwards.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
Zip didn't work. After removing the apps and rebooting system UI failed and I had to reflash the rom. It's not a huge deal. I just like the stick look but Modest rom runs great so if you get around to making a modest rom stock zip I'll use it. If not I'll stick with this.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I agree with it being kind of weird. It has to do with the switch to ART, like when you open the gallery app for the first time it will prompt you for location and such. With maps though, it seems like sometimes I have to hit that button and sometimes I don't. Even when flashing the same rom (when testing one) it's different on each boot. But keep my posted, we'll try to figure it out.

Oh man, I'm sorry you had to do all that. I even downloaded it from the afh and flashed it to make sure it worked but I didn't delete the other apps, that must be what caused the issue but I'm not sure why. I'm actually still using the og ui. If you want to try it again I could put together a "recovery" zip too but that's up to you. When I get a chance I'm going to put together that CQB2 rom if you just want to wait. Verizon hasn't released the source code for their kernel since CPD1 and I have put in a request to get a more recent one so I was waiting to hear back from them to release it all together but I think I'll just go ahead and get the rom together.

Edit - I tried it again and this time removed the 3minit and potato apps. It's still working on my end. Maybe there's a signature mismatch from where I restored a twrp backup but it's still the same rom so that's not likely, it's kind of puzzling. If you feel like messing with it you can upload a copy of your SystemUI.apk and I'll make it from that one just to see. It's up to you.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
I'm down for trying.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Ok. If you want to upload your systemui.apk I'll use yours just to make sure it's not a signature issue and I'll make the recovery zip out of yours as well. It will be a little later though when I get off of work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
See attached. Thank you.!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Here's those new zip files. Maybe you had a bad download from the last time, because I was able to flash your ui as well. These should definitely work I have flashed these a couple times to make sure they work both ways

Recovery

ogUI
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
Alright, everything flashed and I was able to remove the apps. Did it return your theme back to stock? I still have the other battery icon and no clock in my bar.

On a side note I got 15+ hours in battery today withy normal use. I normally get about 3 less.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Are you sure you flashed the right one. The ogUI zip will give the stock look and the recovery one is just in case something went wrong and it has the mods in it. I just downloaded and flashed it again and it's removing those mods and giving me the regular clock and battery.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
Yes, I'm flashing the correct one but it didn't return me to stock look.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BeckPC:
He's right. I just installed the ROM on a spare phone I have. Fresh clean install, no Grace apps added. Only the ROM and Kernel were installed. I just flashed the OGui and I still have the Potato clock on mine as well. Just flashed the 2nd file (Recovery) and have the exact same. No clock and 3minit battery showing in the corner.

This is a spare phone I bought. I am running the same ROM (with Grace stuff added) as a daily driver on my other Note 4. So, if you need some testing done, I'm your guinea pig. Just let me know.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
I found a 3m remover online. I ran it, stsyem UI crashed on boot. Then I flashed ogui zip and it put it all back on my phone. Maybe the zip got mixed up?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
That's really strange, I've downloaded both of them three times and can go back and forth, I'm not real sure what to make of that. Try just placing it manually using the one attached to this post. Just rename the one you have now to SystemUI.bak and copy this one and set permissions to 0644 then reboot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
This is strange, that didn't work either
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Lol. I really thought this was going to be an easy thing to do. It's possible you may need to factory reset as a lot of mods have to be implemented on first boot but that's never been the case with these particular ones. If you're up to doing that it should work but just to let you know I'm really hoping to have the CQB2 rom ready soon. I'm going to try some different stuff with it though and just depends on how that all goes. I've always wanted to try an Aroma installer so I have a whole lot of reading to do but I'm hopeful that I can get it done by the weekend or shortly thereafter.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
Tried a full factory reset and then flashed rom and ogui.zip before boot. Still a no go. I have changed this type of thing so many times on other roms. This is strange. Ill wait for the QB2 rom.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Damn dude I didn't mean to put you through all that for nothing. I'm truly stumped. I've put this little zips together for my own use a ton of times and have always had pretty good luck with it. I won't forget about you on the next build though, even if I can't get aroma to work I'll put a build together without those mods in it to make sure they don't show up.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
Its not a problem. I dont mind testing things at all. That is what backups are for! Thanks for trying though!

Anyone Install TWRP 3.0 on Note 4 VZW converted frim retail

Being a flashaholic I just saw TWRP 3.0 is available for the note 4(trlte).

Do our devices require a special TWRP?

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
The version I use is 3.0.2 from here. I haven't tried the version that hsbdr recently posted since he hasn't really explained what it's for and apparently is not going to. Just guessing, I think it's optimized for aosp roms and should work for tw based too, but I don't know for sure. The 3.0.2 version is what I'm using and is still current. If you're on an earlier version, I would recommend updating.

Amazing Battery Life!

If anyone complains about battery life with this ROM, I'd have to say they are crazy. The standby time is absolutely incredible. My employee took his off the charger early yesterday morning and looked at it last night. He's got the ZeroLemon battery and it appears it's been stuck at 100% the entire day (for over 8 hours). Granted, he hadn't used it at all. It's been sitting idle all day and hasn't lost a single bit of power. He thought something was wrong, but I've assured him that his phone had been in deep sleep mode all day. Incredible!

As for me, I had been playing on my phone all day, with an excessive game session in the afternoon (as you can see from the drain). I do not have the ZL battery. As you can see, mine has been up for over 15 hours and still shows 8 hours left. Now I will say that during regular use, the battery does drain about the same as any other phone. Even then, I'm still getting more life out of it with this ROM than any other I've tried. We are both using the kernel provided and can't imagine using anything else. Neither of us changed any settings either. The only thing I did on mine was use Greenify to disable a few apps that were running all on their own.

Besides flashing the Grace apps, the only other thing I flashed was the upgraded version of Visual Voice Mail (5.0.07) to fix a few issues I have with the included version). Other than that, it's been nearly perfect.

Even my original Note 7 only lasted 15 hours total during a day. That was the only device I've ever had where the Doze Mode actually worked. This ROM blows that out of the water! I never would have thought it possible, but Kevin has done an amazing thing with this ROM. Keep up the good work.

Thinking of switch to your rom eventually, for stability. And i need that advanced calling. Have you confirmed hsbadr twrp 3.0.n1 will work? How about CQB2?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Haha, no, no offense taken. I guess personally I just like to have a little color in the statusbar, but the rest of the rom looks all stock with all the other additions being things you don't really see aside from the edge panel. The CQB2 rom that I'm putting together now will be 2 versions one with and one without 3minit and potato clock. To be honest it'll probably 3 roms, I have trouble deciding on things :p but anyway I think it's very stable and the only releases that I'll be doing is whenever a new firmware comes out since I'm kinda wrapped up in trying to learn as much as I can about kernel development at the moment. Everything works properly except for private mode with the calling features as my main priority and so far they've been as good as stock. I am really hoping to get this out very soon so you might want to hold off for a few days since dirty flashing to a new firmware is a little shakey at best. As far as the new recovery that's out there, you're guess is as good as mine. I haven't really heard much about, but if you're using twrp 3.0.2 there really isn't a need to change. Unless you just want to see what it's all about.

Oh, I forgot to add, if you're already updated to the CQB2 modem it works really well with the CQA1 firmware.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rpn377:
Sounds good. I'll wait till the next iteration then. For now... I'll give nseven another try. I installed it with 3.0n1 BTW.. No issues so far. Probably will be the same for yours.

Searched for Xposed on this thread and got hundreds of hits. After reading 3 pages worth without seeing my answer, I thought I'd just ask (had to do my due diligence first though). So here's my questions: does Xposed work well with this ROM? If so, did you use the APK or the ZIP method? I'm interested in just 2 modules both relating to YouTube (ad block and background play). I had both working on my previous ROM but Xposed was baked in by the developer in that case.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I think afl is doing work on their site, I just clicked on it and it came up. According to their website you should be able to just refresh and it should come up or maybe try a different browser. I'm using Chrome.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Jamboyce:
Please don't take out the s6 launcher or dialer

I use 86 alt with the material version of xposed installer and it works fine. Also please don't take out the s6 launcher or dialer. It's the combination of the best parts of each rom combined together that make this such a great rom.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jb1040:
No problem, I havent been on xda much lately anyway.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Try going to this post. You might want to flash the xposed uninstaller first and then flash either version 86.1 or any of the other alt versions.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Jamboyce:
Don't take out the s6 launcher or dialer. Especially the dialer.

You can use the xposed material edition and go to a Samsung. Select the arm 86 and it'll download it and flash it for you. Also please don't take the s6 launcher out. It's the combination of the best parts of other roms that b make this rom so great.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] doubledragon5:
Is this rom debloated off all the useless apps, you see in some stock roms... I hate to have to uninstall all that crap... I will give this rom a try...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] swolfe2:
Reset data/cache/dalvik, and was able to install perfectly. However, rom went 20 minutes on the Android loading screen. Attempted to download and redo same steps for install, and got same result. Then, attempted steps again but with other kernel to just get the same thing.

Also, phone/battery get really hot on Android loading screen.

Coming off of CMod 6.0.1, so I'm not really sure what the deal is. Any ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Yeah, something is definitely amiss. It shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes or at the most 15. Just to be sure, before you flash are you wiping system, data, dalvik cache, and cache? This rom is pretty much stock so it should go pretty well. You could try formatting the internal SD card if you don't mind wiping it clean. Maybe there's something hanging around from the previous rom.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
There is quite a bit of bloat on this still. Eventually I'll probably do a heavy debloat version but I just want to get everything working first.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] swolfe2:
Yep, wiped all of those each time. I know first boots usually take a minute, but I thought that was a bit too long. I'll try to download again in a few days from a different computer to see if something's different.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Hey guys, I think I'm going to hold off on that update for a bit. I was using the updated version all day today and noticed a couple things that are a bit off and was trying to get it dealt with tonight, but it's more troublesome then I thought would be. As of right now I think v1 is the way to go. I'll try to just make a flashable zip for the changes since they are minor and I know having to set everything up all over again can be a pain.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lev777:
V1 is great. Battery life is fantastic compared to other roms and kernels. If you could also look into enabling tethering / disabling provisioning check that would be much appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] swolfe2:
Another weird thing is that while it's on the Android splash screen, it starts to vibrate (about 5ms, and really lightly) every 10 seconds.

Wiped all the listed items, and am attempting to flash again. Will update with results. I don't understand why CM 6.0 would work fine, but this won't.

Edit: Ok, it's been 20 minutes and still the same issue.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I'm wondering if someone would like to volunteer to test an updated version. Preferably someone that wants to have the 3minit battery and is most likely going to use a different kernel. What I'm trying to figure out is whether or not both batteries are still showing up. Also there seems to be a brightness issue that i believe is kernel related and whether or not you're getting the Android is starting screen on every reboot. If anyone is interested you can pm me and can give you the link.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Jamboyce:
I just go into smart manager and click the battery. Then disable the percentage from being shown. Then if you have installed xposed and install firefds you can go into status bar settings and hide the stock battery. All you're left with is 3minit battery.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] doubledragon5:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
If you switch to a custom kernel, you'll have to change ro.secure.storage.support to false in the build.prop. I circled it in the ss. It's close to the bottom.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
UPDATE!!!

Update is posted! I think I may have to change the name of this rom soon. There's some great roms out there but if you like a stock Note 4 where everything works as it should there is no better option.

CHANGELOG:

-Firmware Upgrade to CQB2

-Updated Viper4Android v2.5.0.5

-Removed 3minit, Potato Clock, Gradient Statusbar

-Removed Overclock from the kernel

-Fixed many errors in kernel

-A lot more Debloated

I will provide options soon for anyone that might want the UI mods and I'll probably bring back the overclock if I can get it to behave. Also the Debloat zip removes 50 extra apps. I did it that way since some things need to be there on first boot or certain features will break and also if anyone wants to customize it you can unzip the file and anything you want to keep you can remove from the updater script.

If you like this rom and want to see future releases please support my work by pressing the thanks button. I see a lot of downloads but not many thanks so it's hard to tell if people are trying and not liking or just forgetting the thanks button.

Xposed and Debloat List

I have the 2nd post updated with the files needed for xposed and I also add the list of apps in debloat script. You could always just use that as a reference and debloat through a root explorer. I wouldn't recommend using Titanium backup to uninstall with.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JOSHSKORN:
One thing that I would like to comment on/point out once again as I have in the past, and I don't know if any ROM is actually capable of this or what level is in charge of this, if it's kernel specific or what not. For the ZeroLemon Battery, as for possibly other (extended batteries) as well, Fast Charge has to be disabled. When you turn off the phone and plug it into the charger, it still says that it's Fast Charging, even if you untick the Fast Charging option under Settings>Battery. Prior to unlocking my device and rooting, the stock kernel/ROM use to handle this correctly, even though the discharge of the battery would be inconsistent with the battery percentage, which is a problem us ZL users knew existed.

[MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION] - Does the new kernel address this issue or CAN it be addressed? Again, I don't know if there's a ROM/Kernel available that can do this. I should post in the general section and see what kind of response I get.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BeckPC:
Not-So-ModestROM ?

Downloading now and will be flashing on my spare N4. I noticed S-Voice was considered bloatware. I use that app all day long with my BT. As a matter of fact, I prefer the S7 variant because it works better than older versions. Also looking forward to the new kernel.

This spare N4 has a data only SIM from my tablet. It's been working great using Google Voice. Will let you know at the end of the day how well it works.

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 AM ----------

Wow... No Bloat is right! Not even the set up screen at the first boot. Impressive so far. I was able to flash the S7 S-Voice and it's working too. Guess I'll be carrying two phones with me today.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I'm trying to find out more on this. I read through almost all of that ZL thread and didn't see any mention of fast charging in it so today I'm going to check out the emotion kernel thread. I know I've seen people talk about it in that thread but I've tried different combinations of roms and kernels that offer that ZL patch and so far I've haven't been able to disable fast charging while the phone is off on any of them.

Lol, I was thinking the same thing.

Oh yeah I'm glad you brought that up. I should have made it cleared about when to flash the debloat zip. If you flash it before the Rom boots for the first time there won't be the setup wizard, which doesn't really matter but I know it's sometimes easier to set things up when it's there. Did anything force close on you when it first booted?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
I flashed the rom and the debloat zip back to back. I didn't wipe data so it all just came up and ran as if nothing changed. Very nice. Just so people are aware the Flashfire app did not flash firmware for me as it has in the past. I had to use Odin to get to CQB2.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
I am on the latest modem and ROM prior to yesterday's update. I've noticed recently that internet speeds on devices connected to my hotspot are way, way slower than on my phone. The difference seems huge compared to my experience in the past. Could that be due to the modem? Would updating to the new CQB2 modem help with that?

I was not planning to upgrade to the ROM posted yesterday, I rather like the previous one and really like the 3-Minit battery that was done away with. But, if the new ROM and modem would fix my hotspot speed issues, then I would consider upgrading.
