i just installed the rom, and i cant download any apps from the play store, just says "your device isn't compatible with this version" is there a fix for this ??
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Coldblackice:
Does anyone know if it's possible to change the look/layout of TouchWiz (beyond just themeing)? Particularly the notifications pulldown. Each notification is so big, and takes up a lot of screen space.

Nice! How's v4 been for you so far?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
Running Modest X since last Sept but my Note 4 has started to hang on occasion, is very laggy and battery life is dismal. Even with zero screen time, it doesn't last half a day. I replaced the battery with original Samsung battery last summer so it's not more than a year old. Would you say I need to flash to v11? Or, is my Note 4 just getting old (hardware)? I would just flash the latest ROM but it took me so long to get this tweaked to exactly how I like it that I'm really not looking forward to that again.

So, I understand Samsung Pay will not work on the Note 4 due to hardware limitation. And I further am given to understand that the Gear S3, while it supports and is pre-loaded with Samsung Pay, requires Samsung pay to be running on the device to which it is paired (I believe this is where all the credit card information is stored). I've also heard that Magisk allows installation of Samsung Pay on rooted phones. I haven't purchased the Gear S3 yet so I can't test but does anyone know whether it would be possible to install Samsung Pay on a Note 4 running this ROM for the sole purpose of using it with the Gear S3? Samsung Pay is the one feature I really would love to have. If I could get it with the Gear S3 and my Note 4, that would be fantastic! Thanks!

God, I hope you're still active, dude. I followed your instructions as far as flashing the hybrid firmware, and it reset like normal. However, the wifi doesn't work. The phone won't detect wifi signals, and the wifi option is present, but inaccessible (can't toggle it either in the settings or the dashboard).

Do you know how I can fix this?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] comradesven:
Hi, I just went through rooting my Note 4 for the first time yesterday. I think what you're saying is that you're on the hybrid firmware and Wi-Fi isn't working. That's normal.

The point of the hybrid firmware is to use a Marshmallow bootchain (bootloader + some other things) to boot a Lollipop kernel and ROM because you can't temproot using a stock Marshmallow kernel and ROM. Once you temproot within that environment to unlock the MM bootloader you gain the ability to flash newer MM kernels and ROMs that require the newer bootloader. Unfortunately you need to have Internet connectivity to temproot in the first place and the mismatch breaks Wi-Fi. Longer guides say you need to have a SIM card and cellular data. I'm not sure whether reverse tethering over USB or Bluetooth is supported in any stock VZW ROM, or what would happen if you plugged in a USB Ethernet card/Wi-Fi dongle.

...Does this at all differ from the firmware that the OP mentioned? I already have that installed.

---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

i just tried reverse tethering. Got the internet working overall, but for some reason everything EXCEPT Kingroot recognizes the connection... Are there any other options? Cellular option isn't available for me, I' m afraid.

If not, are there any other workable options to acquire root? I assume I could complete the rest of the procedure no problem were it not for the root issue....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] signupstuffid:
I'm interested, this looks great! Is your plan to apply a dark theme to all the built in apps? As I have said before, that is the only reason I used Note 7 based ROMS was to get a black UI for power savings.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Yeah, that's the plan. Since we're not likely to see (m)any more updates I figured I would try to mod this rom as much as possible. I'm having some difficulty finding where all the right color codes are located though so it might take me awhile to get it figured out. The system UI isn't an issue but everything else is a bit of a problem. Contacts, settings, power menu are the real pain at the moment. I probably need to consult with a themer to find everything.

The end result, hopefully, will be something that can be mostly themed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I kind of thought someone would have tried to figure out exactly how kingroot gains root access by now but I guess there just wasn't enough good developers with 910v's to make a difference early on.

However, you can also try Kingoroot. Apparently there's been a lot of success with that one as well. Originally, I had tried to just package a tar file of the unlocked bootloader to see if it could be directly flashed but it always fails in Odin. I thought that maybe there was a possibility that it could be a little simpler, but no luck.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] comradesven:
Hi! I know what it feels like to try and do dev stuff for TW ROMs after all the good devs have moved on from a past-EOL phone. I did it back in the day with the Verizon Fascinate, their Galaxy S variant, except that by now, it's even later in the phone lifecycle, relatively speaking, for you than it was for me. I hope you find it just as awful sometimes FUN! as I did.

Your stuff is good and I think I can live with this phone for another year. Thanks loads!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Finally, I'm starting to make real progress. As you can see there's still some text colors to find and I'm going to use something other than that teal color in the settings app, but getting the white background removed was starting to wear me down. Hopefully the rest won't be as hard to find.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] signupstuffid:
Looks good so far. Black also hides the screen burn-in on a couple note 4s I have better.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mrdreamers:
im on rr QR1 firmware do i still need to flash the CQL1 modem upgrade? :confused:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I'm not familiar with the QR1 firmware. Do you have a 910V? If so, you'll want to flash the CQL1 modem because I think you might be using a firmware from another model.

Would you mind downloading this app and posting a screen shot of the results of the firmware screen?

Running and Gunnin

I was able to get my phone up to speed with this ROM and I'm loving it so far. Looks like I'm on 6.0.1 with CQL1 modem, but my bootloader seems to be behind yours from this post. I have a few quick questions.

What step do i need to update the bootloader to the latest version?

Is it possible to change from magist to super SU? I keep getting update notifications even though i already updated via TWRP with the latest version. When i try to install Super SU it says some thing about binaries and does not allow me to run it.

Is there a way to install apps that will not run due to root? I'm looking into xposed but can't find clear documentation on how to implement it.

What are the prospects of having a newer versions of android implemented into this rom? Just curious on that one.

I see you are working on black backgrounds! That is awesome and a great battery saver, can't wait!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RJMason:
I'm sorry after rereading the post i see you answered some of these questions.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
I need help! I'm on a business trip and my Note 4 (running Modest 10) has just slowed down to a crawl! Even screen rotation occurs in steps. It literally takes 30 seconds just to open email. I am on very fast WiFi but my phone is nearly unusable and consuming battery at an unprecedented rate (down to 50% from 100% in 1 hour). This all started last night. I've tried closing everything, rebooting, pulling the battery but nothing seems to help. Does anyone have a suggestion! I just need to get through this day and will try flashing Modest 11 tomorrow. Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] homephysician:
Have you installed any new apps? Uninstall it. Do you have a backup?

Boot recovery and wipe cache. Hope this helps.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
There may also be a problem with the new magisk manager. I updated mine yesterday and it was making my kernel wake locks run wild. I ended reverting back to 16.4 beta.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
Yes! I just installed the Magik update! I should have thought of it! Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nuclear_bullet:
Thank god, I was going nuts thinking something was messed up hardware wise with my Note 4 after updating Magisk. I attempted it twice and it ended up pegging my system, draining the battery fast, and overheating the crap out of it... Do you know why the new Magisk is causing this?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] 1Xfan:
Really great! I'm glad to see you working on this!

I wish all apps had the night/day switch. :p

Kevin, have you looked at "team blackout" for assistance? I used to sideload their apps to replace the bright white stock apk's and other playstore apps. With all the updates, it became a hassle after awhile :eek:

Looking forward to updating for sure :fingers-crossed: thank you!!! :highfive:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
I wish I could hit the thanks button a dozen times! Uninstalling Magisk fixed my issues. I thought my old Note 4 had finally bit the dust but it's still going strong! Thanks again for the quick reply! Was stuck in airport with flights delayed, schedules altered, etc. Don't know what I would have done without my phone to help out besides the fact that I would not even have been notified that there were issues with my flights until it was too late. You guys on this forum are fantastic! Much appreciated!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nuclear_bullet:
My first thought was whether that Magisk APK got replaced with some crypto mining cause the WiFi activity was lit up as well, not sure what's going on, but I've regressed back to Magisk Manager 5.7.0, thankfully, apkmirror had an older version.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
It jacked my phone up too. I have been trying out a couple new music apps and thought one of them was constantly running or something. My phone was running super hot too.

If anyone needs an older copy of magisk I have one that I built myself that's kind of in between 16.4 and 16.6, and it's built right from the magisk repo. I'll attach the uninstaller as well if anybody needs it.

TWRP

There's been an update with TWRP if anyone is interested in updating. I haven't installed it yet so I can't comment to much on it but I plan to do it later today and will update if anything goes sideways with it.

Download Link

There's a pretty easy way of updating boot and recovery images with TWRP. When booted in recovery go to Install, then on the bottom right select the grey box that says "Install Image" and navigate to your download folder. Select the Twrp recovery image and on the next screen select the recovery partition, then swipe to flash. Then reboot recovery and your all set. It might sound more complicated than it actually is but once you do it the first time you'll see that it's pretty easy and real convenient way to flash kernels as well.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] easycheesey:
thanks for all your work kevintm78. i spent the last several days getting my sm-910v from stock with all ota updates to your rom. i think i have everything done and working well.

for others looking to install this rom here are the notes i took of my steps to get here. i was on N910VVRU2CQL1 and my baseband shows as N910VVRU2CQL1 now too.

i started with:

https://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/general/shortcut-to-rooted-n910vvru2cqi2-t3763451

i skipped steps 6 and 7.

i modified the guide according to this post:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76813374&postcount=16

note: kingroot took several tries. i'm also worried it gave me spyware. i used a newer version from here:

https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461

i then moved to this guide to install modest rom:

https://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/development/modest-rom-sm-n910v-pf3-t3458377

note: the CQL1 modem upgrade went fine.

modest rom was installed and everything was good except wifi didnt work and my camera was blurry. so i followed these instructions:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76794511&postcount=1913

now everything is good. not taking any updates to magisk made it work fine. the new magisk manager 5.8.0 just wouldn't work.

verizon bloat was trying to install. if you want to avoid it:

immediately after install go to application manager

find dt ignite or mobile services manager and disable it. it is inititially dt ignite but it quickly updates itself and changes its name to mobile services manager.

this will prevent all the bloat apps (ebay, jcpenny, more) from installing. the .apks are located here:

/sbin/.core/mirror/system/priv-app/igniteverizon

/system/priv-app/ignteverizon

i found information about this here:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] warpwar:
Thanks, this was a nice refresher/shortcut, as I bought a "new" note 4 to setup.

I didn't run into the wifi/camera issue you had.

Something to help out others, on the page of the first link, the third step links to a "stabilized process" that doesn't mention that you have to run the root & unlock

twice

to unlock your bootloader, the unlock script runs something different on the second go and finishes the job then. It's weird that it isn't mentioned there.

I also recommend people wipe data factory reset at least twice before trying to root, in my experience it's the biggest hurdle in getting kingroot to work.

Also for others, I tired the new twrp, it works fine (twrp-3.2.2-0-trlte).

I noticed it fixed a bug for me where power off actually powers it off now rather than rebooting to the os.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tjggriffin:
What version were you on before regressing? I just updated from 5.8.2 (128) to 5.8.3 (129). A few days ago, when I updated to 5.8.2, I it running slow and killing the battery. I also noticed that the network IO was active, literally, 99% of the time. I installed an app called Glasswire. I shows a real time graph of app that are accessing the network by wifi, data, or both. It showed NetX Pro (network tools), and Kindle were very busy. I don't use the Kindle app. So uninstalled NetX and froze Kindle. I also restricted background data usage. That has helped, but there is still a bit more network activity then there should be.

I'll try going back to Magisk Mananger 5.7.0. Also I updated Magisk from 15.0 to 16.0. I had to flash it in TWRP. Installing via Manager failed. It hasn't asked for any other updates. Where are you guys getting 16.4 and 16.9? DO I have to roll back Magisk too? I.e. Is the version of Manager specific to a version of Magisk?

Thanks all!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] LegoFarmer:
I was having issues with adaway, so I tried to update it. Since it's a system app on this rom, I can't do that. I tried to uninstall it with 3 different system app uninstall apps and all of them failed to uninstall adaway. I even disabled the app... What am I doing wrong? Magisk is installed, apps get root, etc.

EDIT: I fixed the original issue, so I don't need to reinstall adaway.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nuclear_bullet:
I was using Magisk v16.0 with Magisk Manager 5.7.0 which wad stable. Updated to Manager 5.8.0 which railed my phone. I'm now running 16.4 from kevintm and manager 5.8.1 (made the blind leap to 5.8.1) and it's running well. I made a blind leap to 5.8.2 thinking that topjohnwu found the issue and fixed it, but it ended up hanging up my cell and bluetooth radio, so I regressed back to 5.8.1. I'm still running v 16.4 from kevintm.

kevintm78, are you working on another Modest Rom update or maybe an update to the kernel? I always look forward to your updates as it breathes life into our aging platform. I really can't imagine using any of the new phones with battery in a sealed coffin...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Thanks! I'm definitely going to update this rom, it's just been a little tough to find the time at the moment. For the most part it will just be a theme update to try for a black UI, but I've been having trouble with some of the sub menus. I could do a beta release to let people use a not so perfect version if they wanted. Some of the sub menus have been hard to track down which makes it a little inconvenient at times. For example, when adding a contact it looks like this:

I typed a word in there but the letters are grey so they're hard to see. It's some of the little stuff that I'm having trouble finding but I'm going to try and figure out most of it before I do anything I guess.

I have galaxy note 4 verizon model. Sim unlocked & bootloader is also unlocked. Now as i live in Bangladesh, I think my modem version is for USA and my cell reception is not so good. For Bangladesh there's a 910G firmware. Now can i flash 910G official firmware to my 910V. or anyway just the modem of 910G ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] zfk110:
best way for you to get the latest modem (baseband) from any stock ROM

Open the file using 7zip/winrar..extract the modem.bin file. from it and then odin it using CP tab.

you can find any newer baseband from https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

download it then use 7zip to extract it then copy the modem.bin file out in the folder and then odin it using cp tab, you don't have to look around anymore.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wahidiut:
One last question, can I just extract the modem from a 910G firmware & odin it to a 910V firmware?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] zfk110:
Modem wont harm anything, try to do it, extract modem.bin from stock firmware then make sure use CP tab on odin to flash it, if it work then its, if not then you can put back 910v using odin, or you can go in twrp and do the modem backup there if that doesn't work you can go back to twrp to restore modem. I hope you know how to do twrp backup and restore?

Love this rom so far. Was on lineage 15.1 but decided I had to come back due to bad battery life and other weird issues like Uber not working. The battery life with this rom is so damn good--better than stock imo.

One question: For some reason, whenever I use "Ok Google", instead of the assistant popping up, I get a page about voice match. I can't get past it no matter how many times I follow the instructions and redo saying "Ok Google" 4 times. Anybody know a solution to this issue? I can't say I've ever seen it before. Thanks!
