That didn't work either.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mrand1:
Ok thank you
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FritzM:
In addition to the Netflix issue, I have also discovered that while HBO Go works fine, Showtime Anytime/DirecTV Now/AT&T Watch TV are not able to play video. The apps load just fine, but they hang when trying to load/play the content. Could this be an issue with some sort of "rights management" needing installed or updated?

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------

I have noticed this from time to time as well with the "back" key. I thought it was just something with the touch screen or hardware, so it is interesting to see someone else have the issue. It has not been doing it for the last week or so. Did you try a reboot to see if the problem goes away and comes back after a period of time?

I accidentally installed the latest verizon update which caused me to lose root. Is there a way to gain root access again. I tried downgrading to 5.1.1 as root procedure stayed, but I can't downgrade any longer. Is there a new method to root without downgrading to 5.1.1

I guess I should clarify if it's not clear. In addition to losing root the bootloader is back to being locked. I'm looking for a method to unlock the bootloader so I can root.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FritzM:
I am new to this phone and the root procedure, but I believe you will need to download the stock 5.1.1 firmware and flash it with ODIN. You will then need to postpone the Verizon OTA update for as long as it lets you, then follow the procedure from the start to unlock bootloader, etc.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] warpwar:
You mean it won't let you Odin 5.1.1?

That's weird, but you don't need to flash/root 5.1.1 anymore.

Check out easycheese and my posts on page 195, it's a stable, winnowed-down process that works without having to double unlock and root it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rclksr:
Yeah it is strange but when odin finishes with the 5.1.1 downgrade it says fail and the device shows a "fused" error . I'll give your method a try later today. I really want to get a little more time with my trusty note 4. It's such a great phone. I'll let you know how I make out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jmetcalfe84:
Kevin - i'm having this problem right now with the version 11 of the rom? Any suggestions? I had to add a pin to the lock screen so i could see one of my saved passwords on chrome next thing you know I can't get into my phone even though I know the pin i'm putting is correct.

---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------

Nevermind I figured out a bypass through TWRP. Had me worried there for a minute though. I saw some old posts on it but no solution ones so just wanted to let you know as well since it appears this can still be an issue.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rclksr:
It Worked!! Thanks again. I now have a rooted Verizon Note 4 again. I really thought I was done. Cant thank you enough.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FritzM:
Did not get Emergency Alert on Oct 3 2018 with v11 of ROM

Did anyone running this ROM receive the Emergency Alert yesterday afternoon?

When I did not get it, I did a simple search and the Verizon site specifies an "Emergency Alert" under "Applications" which I do not have with this ROM.

If this is really missing, I am wondering if there is a way for us to side load the app?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rclksr:
Yeah I did not receive the alert either. Funny thing is I was talking on this phone when the alert came across my work cell. It disconnected the call I was on. I assumed I didn't get the alert because I was on a call.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FritzM:
Supposedly, you should get the alert right after you complete the call, but I have read that everyone did not get the alert, and this is the first time they did the nationwide alert level, so they expected to uncover some issues.

I think something is definitely missing from our configuration, because the Note 4 specific info at the Verizon site says we should be able to manage which alerts we want to get. You cannot opt out of the Presidential Alerts, but you can choose if you want things like Amber Alerts.

Here is the link:

https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-124081/

I have searched everywhere I can think of and do not see "Emergency Alerts" under any of the settings.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BeckPC:
Most likely, [MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION] removed (debloated) that feature when he was creating the ROM. The only way you'd get it back would be to find another working 6.01 ROM and extract the files and install it into this one. My Note 8 received it, but a second device running this ROM did not, and both were in the car with me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
Trying to install Vanced YouTube but can't figure out which file to install. The instructions say to use CPU-Z to determine the architecture but it says my Note 4's Kernel architecture is "armv71" but I can't find that listed. Can someone tell me which file to use for my Note 4?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FritzM:
I am definitely not experienced in determining the complete list of files to extract from another compatible ROM, so it would be great if someone on here that is could make this available to the group of people using this ROM. I am assuming I am not the only one that would like the ability to receive the various types of alerts such as Amber Alerts.

I am really liking this ROM. I opened up my Note 4 and raised up the GPS antenna pins and now my Note 4 is getting a decent GPS lock, so the only other issues remaining are Netflix, DirecTV Now, and Showtime Anytime not working. I can live without those as I really don't care about watching full length shows/movies on this phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BeckPC:
I wouldn't have a clue which files to restore either. That would be a question for Kevin.

As for Netflix, I did get an error the first time opening the app. Then it did allow me to log in and it's been working fine. I did nothing special with Magisk to get it working. As for DirectTV, I can't answer that since I don't use that service. However, regarding Spectrum TV, I used a modified version of the app to make it work on this ROM. I found that mod in this thread: https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-spectrum-tv-aka-twc-tv-t3847520 (works great by the way!)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kadiir:
Regarding the Magisk zip in post 1965, will that work with v10 of the rom? I need to "refresh" eventually (and upgrade to the current version) but until then I'd like that Magisk update to see if it fixes a problem I'm having with an app.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BeckPC:
Use the armeabi-v7a version, either color scheme for the icon. It works fine with this ROM.

---------- Post added at 12:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 PM ----------

You can use the latest Magisk 17.1 along with Magisk Manager 6.0. They work fine with this ROM.

As with any software, just remember the Note 4 is a 32 bit version of the OS. It won't work with anything that requires Nougat or Oreo, which is generally 64 bit.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kadiir:
Hmm, I have Magisk v14. 0 and Manager v5.3.0 and it's showing v16.0 and Manager v5.8.2 are current.

Edit: I just looked at the Magisk thread so scratch the above.

I wasn't aware that the Note 4 is a 32-bit phone (thanks) but the app show it supports Android v4.4 through 7 so that at least is OK.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
So I just flashed v11 this past Thursday and I've got something really strange going on with my battery. I was using the phone and it died like the battery was dead. When I tried to restart it, I got the 0% screen with picture of outlet. When I plugged in the charger, it said it was at 23%. I figured the charge cycle needed to be calibrated so I searched on Google and I found an article that said I should let it die, try to start it up several times and then charge to 100% before turning it on. I've done that several times without success. The strange thing is that each time, the displayed battery percentage when the phone dies is higher and higher. The next time it was around 30%, then 40, then 50 the 65. Last night it died and when I plugged it in, it said it was at 83%! I tried a battery calibration app but crashed every time. I tried a battery repair app and it said it recovered 12% battery life but that doesn't explain how the phone could die with battery at 83%. Any ideas? Has anyone seen behavior like this? BTW, this is a new (Aug 2) OEM Samsung battery in sealed retail package. I don't think the battery is defective because the battery repair app found 97% of the cells were healthy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] buffaloquinn:
Has anyone found the Modest Control app on the latest version of the rom? I have found various mentions of it throughout the thread but have yet to find the app itself.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BeckPC:
I hate to tell you this, but most of the 'Samsung OEM batteries' out there are fake. I would get a different brand. I've used PowerBear and Acevan batteries without any problem at all. They are cheap on Amazon.

I will say this ... one of the 'original Samsung' batteries I replaced a year or two ago was put up in my cabinet above my desk. I didn't even look at it, until one day I was searching for something. I noticed it was swollen to three times it's normal size. It looked like it was pregnant. I carefully disposed of it before it exploded. It was having the same issues you just describe above, which was why I replaced it. Since then, I've never purchased another Samsung battery and never will again. It's because most of them are Chinese knockoffs and fakes. Since the N4 came out, I've probably purchased at least 25 batteries for the dozen of N4 devices I've worked on, owned, set up for friends, family and neighbors. The only ones I ever had trouble with were marked as being 'Samsung' batteries. As a rule, I recommend replacing batteries every year or two because of the cycle count. If you charge it every day for two years, that's about 700 cycles, which is about the lifespan of a Lithium Battery.

You must be referring to the links that are in the bottom of this post: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76794511&postcount=1913

The first reboot will take a little while since it has to rebuild the cache. I just flashed it (and the update) on Modest 11, so we'll see how it goes. It should be fine since this ROM is mostly stock.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
My original battery lasted 2 years and I replaced it with a Samsung battery and it lasted 2 years. I thought as you said that 2 years is about all you get from a lithium battery with this kind of use so when it came time to replace it again, I replaced it with another Samsung. I appreciate your response and will order one of the brands you recommend.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
So, I took out the "new" battery that you say is probably a fake and located the old one I took out that's more than 2 years old and sure enough, the new one has become slightly fatter or bloated compared to the old one. I ordered an Acevan battery from Amazon (considerably cheaper than PowerBear and higher mAh). It arrives Friday. In the meantime, I put back the old battery and am charging now. I hope it will operate better than the new one. Wasn't aware there were counterfeit Samsung batteries out there, they look exactly like the original and even the packaging seems authentic. Thanks again!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FritzM:
I am running v11 of this ROM and I am still using the Magisk installed from the ROM which is showing 5.5.5 Manager Manager and 15.3 for Magisk app.

Do you think the older Magisk could be causing my problems with Netflix and DirecTV Now?

I thought I saw some others on here have problems trying to upgrade Magisk, so if you can point me to a safe upgrade method it would be a big help.

Maybe with the right .zip file I can simply apply it from recovery installation and be good to go?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FritzM:
Ok, I tried using the zip file from Post 1965 zip to upgrade Magisk via recovery->install.

Luckily I did a backup right before because it put me in boot loop.

I did a restore to my backup, then I did the upgrade from within Magisk Manager 5.5.5 using stable channel.

Using this option I have now upgraded to Magisk Manager 6.0.1 and Magisk app 17.1, and Magisk seems to be working fine so far, so that is good!

I will keep my previous backup just in case I run into problems moving forward.

Unfortunately, I still have the same problem with Netflix where I can't even sign in and get immediate error 15001 to check network connections, then app closes.

With DirecTV Now I can sign in as before, but I am still unable to play any video.

I don't subscribe to Spectrum TV, so I can't check that app.

HBO Go and Showtime Anytime are still both working, so it is only Netflix/DirecTV Now that are having the problems.

This is very strange.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] zfk110:
uninstall your Netflix app then download this modded apk, as long your passing safetynet it will work

https://drive.google.com/open?id=10S9cyQ6GOcVpfC7cHmZJVT_K36Sedizm

then try again

All you guys having issues with Samsung battery get this battery

Dantona CEL-SMN910NFC Battery this is way better than PowerBear , Ravpower

Mostly OEM or Samsung batteries out there are 99% fake..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FritzM:
I tried the custom Netflix app and it still did not work, but gave me "error -9" which I did a search on.

That search pointed me to:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2527627&page=3

In there they suggested to backup and remove the file /vendor/lib/liboemcrypto.so, and that fixed the standard Netflix app's error 15001 as well as the custom Netflix error -9.

I discovered that DirecTV Now also works as long as I add it to the Magisk Hide list. If you don't add it, then the app complains about a rooted device.

Everything is working now, but Netflix only works in Standard Definition with this solution. It does not seem there is a way to keep HD on Netflix and make it work as of now.

Given the screen size on the Note 4, I can live with this as I will probably not watch that much.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FritzM:
Actually, no need to remove/rename the liboemcrypto.so file. You can just install the Magisk module "liboemcrypto disabler" and my stock Netflix and DirecTV Now apps work perfectly.

Any Issues with Phone Encryption having Magisk & Intune Hider on ModestROM

kevintm78, you are definitely the man! I just can't thank you enough for all your hard work. I was never able to get a working dark theme going (work picked with after-hour support, children, etc) especially not being able to afford having my phone down too long as it is my only phone. So, I was surprise to see you working on a dark theme too. I would definitely be interested once you are able to have it ready.

But I was wondering if I have to encrypt my phone for work (needing to install MS Teams ) would it break anything regarding your ROM specifically and Magisk ability to continue to hide generally? I have been over on thread [MODULE] Microsoft Intune Company Portal Hider (Intune Hider) by Dreamer(3MF) inquiring specifically if his module that is able to hide Intune from Magisk would break from that perspective, but wanted to check here from the ROM perspective. I don't use Xposed. So, I should be safe there. Just checking to see if anyone has encrypt their phone using the ROM and if they have had any issues before I try this out. Thanks again. Your work is amazing.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] uaDPJ:
Does anybody have a flashable zip to change the notification area/bar from blue to black? If not, I might try and make one myself even though I have little experience with this so far. I tried flashing the black.zip from 2016 just to see if it still worked, it doesn't lol.

I've tried almost every other ROM and it's crazy how much better this one is compared to the others. Thanks, Kevin!

Can/should I upgrade AdAway from 3.2 to 3.3?

I noticed there is a new 3.3 stable version of AdAway on F-Droid, but I see that the 3.2 version is a System app on this ROM.

I am assuming that I would break the /system integrity if I tried to uninstall 3.2 AdAway with Titanium Backup and this would break SafetyNet?

Maybe I should just leave it alone as I really like this ROM and AdAway 3.2 seems to be working ok.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I was able to install the new version on top of the the built-in version. I just downloaded the app and installed it like a normal user app. Everything seems to be working pretty well.

In the future I won't add apps like that to the system partition just in case people want to remove it.

Edit: Oh, and to answer your question, you should be able to remove just about any app from the system without effecting safety net. The main exception from that rule is Google play services related apps which is why microG users have a tough time staying ahead of the safety net game.

Magisk Manager 6.1.0 and Magisk 18.0 working well in v11

Just FYI that I was able to successfully upgrade from within Magisk Manager to the latest 6.1.0 Manager and 18.0 Magisk.

The new version has a built in Magisk module for Systemless hosts file that you can enable from within the settings of Magisk Manager.

When you have AdAway installed, this Magisk module will grey out the Preferences option "Enable systemless mode" in AdAway.

(I read that even though the checkbox may be unchecked in the greyed-out option, AdAway is still using Systemless mode)

---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------

I was able to successfully remove the 3.2 AdAway system app, then I used F-Droid to install 3.3 AdAway. Now I should get notified by F-Droid when there is a newer AdAway stable version available.

I did the following steps (this assumes you have Magisk Manager 6.1.0 and Magisk 18.0 installed):

1. Disabled AdAway from inside the app and rebooted.

2. Used Magisk Manager 6.1.0 (running Magisk 18.0) to remove the built-in Magisk module for Systemless hosts file and rebooted.

3. Used Titanium Backup to uninstall the 3.2 AdAway system app and rebooted.

4. Used Magisk Manager 6.1.0 (running Magisk 18.0) to add back the built-in Magisk module for Systemless hosts file (from Settings) and rebooted.

5. Used F-Droid to install the latest stable AdAway app (currently 3.3).

6. Downloaded and enabled from within AdAway, then rebooted.

All looking good now. I am not sure that Steps 2 and 4 are needed, but I was just being careful.

I don't know about everyone else on here, but from what I have seen in the comments, this is one of the most stable stock-like ROMs for the Note 4 Verizon phones.

It is working flawlessly for me at this time.

I plan to use this ROM until the apps I really need stop working with Android 6.0.1, or until I find a better phone that has removable battery and ability to have root access.

I guess if I find a good stable stock-like ROM for Verizon Note 4 that is Android 7.x, I might want to try it, but it seems like those usually have some things that don't work properly.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BeckPC:
There should be no need to flash the DataFix. That was created for ROMS without the proper CSC files for our Verizon phones. Primarily the Snapdragon versions. This ROM is already VZW ready and does not need those files replaced.

I always flash the ROM and then the new Magisk before rebooting the first time. I've done this on multiple phones without issues. I've also never had to replace the kernel either on this ROM.
