I couldn't find Device Tools in the play store. Is it available there?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] zfk110:
I tried this on my 910t, but I was in bootloop, it all goes to the build id you have, you can try since tmobile doesn't have crazy bootloader..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] blthun81:
Installed v6 and I get a message saying that there is an internal error with Android and to do a factory reset. The phone runs fine but every time a restart the phone, it get the same message. Has anyone else gotten this message? Tried a dirty flash but still there.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BeckPC:
Try wiping the cache and restarting the device. Allow it to come up fully and try it again. All of your stuff will be there, but the system will recreate android files it needs to work properly. If this doesn't work, wipe completely and reflash version 6. Often it's an application or something you restored that causes these issues.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iDonii1:
Install a compatible Kernel for TMo variants and solved the bootloop problems ;)

Hey Kevin, please say development hasn't ended :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ieAnd:
On rooted stock now, thinking of installing this ROM... likely will be the final ROM I ever install on the Note 4. How is it as a daily driver? Any instability? Would you vouch for it?

Let me know, all responses appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Iammorenifty:
I am running this rom and I LOVE IT!! Smooth as silk! Kevin has done an AWESOME job on this. I think this will be the last ROM I install...unless Kevin has a better one for the Note 4...

sent from the best ever MODest ROM. Going in BEAST-MODE
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ieAnd:
Thanks for replying!

That's good to hear! How long have you been running it for?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Iammorenifty:
Bout 3 months now...

Missing the toggle to turn on the flashlight from the notification bar, but I love this ROM Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] testsubject00001:
It's in the extended menu in the notification bar. Button of to the right. I think you can move it over in the settings to the main area.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
I've been using this ROM exclusively since the first release, best TW I've seen yet. This is probably the last ROM I'll install on this phone, and I'm going to run this device until it crumbles into dust. Still on v. 6, but 7 sounds like it's even better (I have to do a lot of configuration for work after a new install, and this is our busy time, towards the end of the school year).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Docta001:
There is a very great shortcuts to turn on and off the lamp. Looks at the screenshots.

This is the best ROM I have installed until today. : O

Thank youk Kevintm78 :bien:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BeckPC:
Just an FYI ... I chatted briefly with Kevin this weekend. He's been super busy at work and doesn't have any free time to work on the ROM right now. He's got a few things on the burner, but it might be a while. Don't give up on him. I know we'll be seeing something else from him one day soon. Since Magisk is working on the current ROM, it's all good. There are a few bugs from the deodexing of the original ROM, but the next release should have those fixed. I got Viper working as well, so I'm happy. I can actually hear my bluetooth better than before. That's all I really need out of life.

As for the flashlight in the notification bar, that's an addon and not something in the stock ROM. I'm using this ROM as my daily driver and love it. Actually, I have it running on two devices. I'm also using his kernel (without additional tweaks) and it works fine. I get an average of 13-15 hours of life each day, but I'm somewhat a power user. My spare phone last longer, but it's not used a lot. I use my main phone for business and it's on a lot during the day. Out of that time, I'll get up to 3 or 4 hours of screen time. It all depends on what programs are running and sucking up the battery. I also use Greenify and ForceDoze to help offset any drainage.

I will add this for any noobs that are trying out the ROM for the first time. After flashing the ROM, be careful of what you 'restore' to the device. I've found the best results come from letting Google Play Store to restore your apps, contacts, calendar, etc. and start off with a clean slate. Restoring text messages and phone history can really create some weirdness issues that will caught headaches and sluggishness. Most importantly, do not restore system settings. Just recreate the phone manually after installing the ROM. You'll end up with a much happier experience. Trust me, I've tried with my spare device and swore there was a problem with the ROM. It was my problem, not the ROM. Keep this in mind when installing ANY ROM! You'll be happier with the results.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] alan310:
On MODest 7.1: can this be dirty flashed over a previous build [6.x]? I was waiting for the self-thought rumor of 7.2 to clean flash, but since it may be my imagination at work, I have decided to upgrade to the current iteration. I am nearly content with what I have now [thanks Kevin!!!], but in the back of my mind the itch to Star Trek up to the latest and greatest is always there. Decisions decisions.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iDonii1:
Look at this image, it is not available.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] testsubject00001:
Man that is weird. If you download a flashlight app will that work? I would try to back up and install a fresh image if it's something you would need
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iDonii1:
I installed this ROM with a full wipe because I'm coming from LinageOS
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xflbret:
[MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION] I hope you don't mind me asking, because I swear to you I am not trying to nag. Do you have another version soon to be released?

I ask because this ROM is so damn good it isn't one that you flash every week or two like most of the other ROMs. I have version six of this, and I've been running it for months now. Not perfect, but pretty damn close.

I want to upgrade to the latest version, but if you have another release coming out in the next week or two then I'll just wait for that one. Because, again...these are so good that they are to be run for the long-term. But, if you don't have another one soon on the horizon then I'll go ahead and flash the version offered here now.

Thanks in advance for your answer.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] weaverinva:
Is version 6 somewhere around? And does v6 of Modest use Magisk?

My corporate IT has locked down our phones and I need Magisck and it also requires screen lock. So I'm sunk until perhaps 7.2. Thank you for the development on this ROM!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Update (sort of)

Hey guys, I am really sorry for my absence here lately. Things have been kind of rough on my end lately. I've been working in an area where I get almost no data service and I haven't been able to post anything and time to get anything done has been non existent. I have a version with a fix for the lock screen and few other minor things that were left out of the previous versions of v7. I still have many plans for this rom that I'm hoping to get done this weekend if a few things break my way. Here is a link for v7.2. It is less debloated then before as well to try to accommodate as many folks as possible.

Again I apologize for the delays, but I definitely haven't stopped working to get more stuff done for this great phone. Well I guess I did stop but not by choice and by no means is the last of anything to come. I still have plans to put together an aroma package for some extra mods and also another kernel soon. I should have time this weekend to at least get some of this stuff done. I'm very appreciative of the continued support and encouragement.

Oh, one more thing. I put all the files necessary to get viper4android working, but that one file still needs to be placed manually in /magisk/.core/post-fs-data.d from this post. No need to flash the zip file as those are already in v7.2. Just move the one file with any root file manager and set the proper permissions.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] CrazyCram:
OMG, 7.2 is your best Kevin rom yet! Sent you some $ as my appreciation. Your dedication and work ethic is top-notch. Thanks so much!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Thanks buddy, you've been really kind to me and it's very appreciated. I only wish I had been paying a little more attention to what was going on. I noticed last night that a new firmware was available. I feel like an a$$ releasing updates in quick succession but rather than getting behind on the updates I'm going to move forward with the CQD1 firmware.

Just an FYI for those that haven't yet flashed 7.2, I should be able to get v8 done this weekend.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] CrazyCram:
I'm on the new firmware with 7.2 and, again, best rom yet! Love the 560 dpi.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Modem update (Please read the note at the bottom as well. Thank you!)

7.2 is built with CQC1 firmware and last night I was checking to see if the kernel sources had been updated yet (they weren't by the way) but that's when I noticed that a couple days ago verizon released CQD1. According to a few things I had read CQC1 was supposed to have quite a few bug fixes in it or more than usual I suppose. CQD1 is supposed to have updated security patches as usual, a fix for amazon shopping, and yet again more fixes to the email app. I don't use the stock email app but this is the 2nd consecutive update that is working on that so if anyone has having issues in that area hopefully this new update will solve that.

This is my fault, I shouldn't have released that update yesterday. The last update lasted a couple of months and I just didn't think to check for a new one. Again, I do apologize for the oversight.

EDIT: I just got the modem update finished if anyone wants to go ahead and update their baseband. CQD1 modem link. As always, just put it in the AP slot in Odin and then you won't have to do anything else other than flash the rom when it's ready. Also just for anyone that doesn't know, you can use this latest modem with any previous 6.0.1 roms.

One more quick note: I would like to give a quick acknowledgement to [MENTION=7749128]BeckPC[/MENTION] for donating a note 4 to help with development. The tedious process of constantly wiping and re flashing test roms is so much easier and less time consuming than trying to keep my personal phone operable while doing all this. I don't think I can thank him enough and would like to make a suggestion for others to hit the thanks button on some of his posts as a favor for me. I don't plan on letting his kindness go to waste and hopefully we can all benefit from his generosity.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rpn377:
Sweet man, I think I'll hop onto this upgrade then if it has more tweaks in it. Im waiting for pixel 2 or note 8 (whichever is better) than so I'm doing the note 4 at least through the summer ;)

What's up with the other builds? Emotion and nseven dead?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kawaiisampler:
[MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION] Do you think that by any chance you could possibly do an ODIN backup of your rom with the proper Modem installed and upload it? I am having such a hard time upgrading the bootloader and modem and everything right now. I would love to use your "Almost Stock" rom but cant because of the bootloader issues (Not having WIFI and all of that) Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BeckPC:
Trust me Kevin, we're all glad to have you back in action. We have all missed you here. I've been using the 7.2 version you gave me a while back as a test. It's good. I haven't had any issues at all. I've been using the kernel and its good as well. I have tweaked it a bit using Kernel Adiutor to make it more fluid. There were times it felt like it was dragging and sluggish, but never unresponsive. Perhaps I'm just spoiled, but that's not a bad thing! However, I will be honest and admit I've strayed ... out of boredom. I've been playing with some of the other ROMs on here. The funny thing is I also have this version on my daily device. My spare has been flashed six times in the past week. I'm still bored, but I can tell you a few things I've learned.

1. The ability to use Advanced Calling is NOT ROM dependent. My spare will not turn on that feature for any reason. It's not the ROM and it's not the SIM, and its certainly not Verizon. It's the device. Not that I really care, but its' something I noticed. I switched my SIM's around and it works on my daily device just fine.

2. Magisk is certainly the way to go! I don't think I'd have a ROM without it ever again. It won't even install of most of the other ROMs I tried.

3. Viper4Android is great for us old men who have trouble hearing quiet people on our bluetooth devices. I've got the thing turned up so I can hear it, even driving down the highway. It's also working flawlessly. If I could get it a little louder without distortion, I'd use it on the motorcycle!

4. Spen / Screen Mirroring / Quick Connect / S Voice have all been working flawlessly (with updated software of course). I've been using them for so long, I can't live without them. None of them work on the AOSP roms, even with special software installed.

5. Last but not least ... Google Assistant works so good, it makes my wife's Siri jealous. When she can't get an answer, I try with my assistant and its never failed. I couldn't get it to work right with other ROMs.

In my opinion, I believe this ROM is about as good as it will ever get. I know you mentioned the thought of switching over to the newer N5 ROM. I'd love to see that. A real Samsung ROM running Nougat with all the special Note toys and features installed, as well as Kevin's magic touch. I can't wait to test that one. There are so many features that I missed from the short lived N7 I had. They should be in the N5 ROM now, so I'm anxiously awaiting.

As always ... Wipe twice, flash once, and let Google restore you device. Install apps manually and tweak carefully. Don't restore data and text messages. That can only lead to problems between firmware revisions. You'll be much happier, but it does take longer. Now I truly understand why 'Patience is a virtue'.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I agree completely. Letting Google restore your apps is the best way to go. I don't even install Titanium Backup anymore. There's just too many issues that come with it and Google does a pretty good job at restoring everything anyway, even data and phone settings.

Did everyone go on a hiatus? I thought I read somewhere that n7 had stopped but I figured hasbdr would keep updating. It's unfortunate that root came so late to the verizon model, I think some very good devs had already moved on before the fun even started. I'm definitely going to keep trying to improve this phone in any way that I can but I also realize that most people would rather have updates from the aosp or n7 roms.

I have thought about trying to come up with an easier solution to upgrading the bootloader. Unfortunately time has not been on my side lately. Honestly I think it would be easier to try to help you upgrade. Which part in particular is giving you issues? There's a post from [MENTION=1138767]civichater[/MENTION] that really explains the process well. Maybe this will help.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xflbret:
[MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION] I appreciate your updates. I am excited for 7.2. I'll give it a few days for you to get everything squared away and ready, and then I will excitedly clean flash my phone with it...unless you think I can dirty flash from v6...

---------- Post added at 06:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------

I'm not sure if I'm reading this right. What I took from this is that 7.2 wasn't built on top of CQD1. So, what we should do is go ahead and flash CQD1 (which I did with no problem) and wait for you to get the ROM ready to go for CQD1. Is that what I'm reading, or did I misunderstand?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
That's right. I would hold off on flashing v7.2. I'm almost done with v8 that's built with CQD1. So far it's been much easier to work with and any additional mods will be for that version. I really didn't like the way cqc1 was responding to being modified (or at least that's my excuse) but so far I've been running the newer firmware since yesterday morning and it feels much more like v6 which has really been my favorite so far.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kawaiisampler:
Well the issue currently is I can't get on the bootloader version that is required. I can flash the hybrid stock ROM (has the 6.0.1 bootloader on stock 5.1.1) but then I run into the issue that I don't have WiFi and it says that I don't have mobile data (though I do and it is enabled) so then kingroot won't root since it needs networking. So then I can't install twrp and then your ROM. Now if there's any way I can just flash the ABoot partition then it won't be an issue since that's where the bootloader is, the weird thing is that I can flash 7.1.1 ROMs no problem with my bootloader and they 100% work.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Oh, so your mobile data isn't working when you flash the hybrid firmware? Do you know which modem version you currently are using. If you look in the <about phone> section in settings it should say next to <baseband version>. It's been awhile since I went through the process but maybe you just don't have the right modem version. I can't remember if we were supposed to use an Lp version or MM, but like you said kingroot does need Internet access.

My advice would be to try getting your data working on the hybrid firmware. If all else fails, I will put a tar file together with the my aboot included but just keep in mind that if it doesn't fail in Odin it will possibly soft brick your phone. I don't think it will hard brick it, but that's why I'm hesitant to do so. I just don't know for sure.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kawaiisampler:
ttp://imgur(.)/a/DyZtR

(The things I have to do to post links lol)

Here is my about phone screen.. If you have the N910V then I think the aboot will work and if it doesn't then I can probably just flash back to complete 5.1.1 stock (flashes everything back to 5.1.1 stock ota)

[MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION] - Question. I recently got a new ZeroLemon battery as i felt my other one was going south. I'm nearly done with the first discharge, as I'd given it a 12 hour charge as soon as I got it. the directions for the battery say to discharge fully, then recharge for 12 hours, repeat 5-6 times.

First of all, does your kernel still have (untested) support for the ZeroLemon battery? Secondly, if I clean wipe and upgrade from v6 to v8, will I need to restart the charge cycles? I'll flash v8 probably 2 days after you release it. Should I also do something like, reflash the kernel only when fully charged or do you think that'll matter?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rclksr:
These are probably dumb questions but is it possible to run the Modest Kernel with Magisk? The Kernel installs SU but I have not found a way to hide root so it passes safety net. Or is it that it does not pass safety net because it has a modified Kernel? Also is there a Debloat.zip file as mentioned in the second post or has it just been incorporated into the ROM now? Sorry for the noob questions but I am still learning whats possible and whats not and how everything interacts. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I'm sorry, I've been meaning to send you this link for awhile now. According to this, the methods that have been explained on xda have been over complicating things. From here on out I think I'm going to make you a separate version of the kernel for extended batteries just to make sure there isn't a conflict going on between the two.

I've been meaning to pull those links for the modest kernel. I have since learned of an issue that I was having when building all my previous kernels. It had to do with ramdisk permissions, but I'm working on a new kernel now. With regards to rooting, I'm only going to be using Magisk for the root method simply because I haven't found any reason to use supersu over Magisk.

I did make a new debloat zip for v8 (uploading now) that gets rid of quite a bit of apps. I've been having a difficult time trying to decide what makes the cut and what doesn't given that all our needs are different so I just made it to suit myself. Ultimately I think I'll just make a list with the best description I can give of each app and that way everyone can choose what works best for them. I'm close to getting caught back up on everything and once I do I'll be able to start on that aroma installer that I've wanted to do for awhile and if all goes well hopefully I can work the debloating into that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ieAnd:
Looking forward to that extended battery kernel, I just got my zerolemon in the mail today.

Glad you're still with us, hope you're doing well, keep up the good work and don't rush/stress yourself for our sakes
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ieAnd:
Since I'm at it... [MENTION=5486037]JOSHSKORN[/MENTION], how's your experience been with the ZeroLemon and this ROM? Any tips?

Also... How long did yours last before "going south" as you say? After researching a bunch I've come to the conclusion that ZeroLemon products are super cool but just don't last all that long in terms of overall life expectancy, so I'd like a ballpark for how long I'm gonna get out of this $70.

At least when this one dies I'll buy the one with the slimmer case lol.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JOSHSKORN:
I'll PM you tonight when I get off work. I'll have to check my order date from Amazon from the first one. I did send the first one back, though. Give me about....6 hours.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
v8 UPDATE!!

Version 8 is built with the latest firmware CQD1. The features are the same as v7 but I did add a custom kernel and I think the bugs that plagued the last version are gone. I did manage to get viper4android to work without any additional steps. So far I really like this one and am very happy with the way it turned out.

I kept the kernel mostly stock with the only features being the following:

Over clocked to 2803 mhz

Voltage control

USB fast charge

Screen color control

Modest_Rom v8

If you restore through google during the setup wizard you'll notice the edge panel force close a couple times and it takes a much longer time than usual but after you get past that everything seems to work very well after that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
The boom boy is back!!! Great release bro!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Haha! Yeah, I finally climbed out from under my rock. I know it's kind of late right now but I definitely want to try and get in touch with you tomorrow. I'm going to start on that aroma package soon and I have a feeling I'm going to have questions if that's ok with you. Plus I'd just like to catch up with you and see how things are going. :)

ZeroLemon Kernel

Here's the download link to the kernel for the ZeroLemon battery. It already has Magisk packaged in the zip. Hopefully it will work for you.
