I had never used Amplify, but I have to say that today I have gotten a much better battery life. That is the only change I have made, and it looks like I'll make it all day today, which is unusual for me. Thanks again for mentioning it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
Glad it's improved for you. It also takes a day or two for the battery to settle in after loading a new ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dhplap:
Tried installing Amplify but didn't work. When I first open it Supersu asks me to grant it permission, which I do, but after that Amplify says I'm not rooted. Went into Supersu and it says it's been granted permission. Ever heard of this happening before? Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chelper:
This happened to me too. I figured out that you have to have xposed installed and then activate the amplify module in xposed for it to work. I wish amplify would tell you that the problem is xposed, instead of saying you're not rooted. But, that is how I got amplify to work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dhplap:
Oh OK. Thanks for letting me know. You're right, they should make that known. Much appreciated!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
I've only ever installed it through Xposed. Can you also do it through the market? Is it working now?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dhplap:
Yes you can. It installed and opened up fine.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zues532:
Hey eveybody,

I decided to take a break from the latest Emotion OS and come back to TW just for the sake of doing something different. The modem downgrade went fine, but now I'm setting up ModestROM the way I like it, only to find out that I don't have root. Can anybody be of assistance? I'm having trouble figuring out how to re-root.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dhplap:
If you were already on Emotion OS I assume you were on CBQ2. Is that right? If so, there was no need to downgrade anything to flash this ROM. Could I ask what you did to downgrade and what your baseband is now?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zues532:
You know I'll be honest, I can't recall exactly what baseband I was using. I want to say I flashed something newer than CBQ2 while on 7.1.1, but I can't recall.

I saw the instructions in OP for those coming from 6.0.X and above, and I just followed those, including flashing the modem for CBQ2.

I can tell you that as I sit here reading, my phone is showing the baseband as CBQ2.

Ugh, this is embarrassing.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dhplap:
Oh, well that's a good thing. If that is all you flashed then you should still be good. What does it say when you open Supersu?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zues532:
Ok, so I made a backup of my first install of ModestROM (no root), gave everything but external storage a 3x wipe, attempted to flash EmotionOS again (failed for some reason). Wiped again, installed ModestROM again, and now root and everything else is working fine.

Very strange.

Perhaps I forgot to wipe cache/dalvik before the first boot of ModestROM.

Either way, all good now, thanks for your help dhplap, I appreciate your willingness to assist :good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dhplap:
Cool. Glad you got it working!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dOOfus:
i just recently switched to modest from paulpizz. after installing modest and debloat, i removed supersu. after a reboot, pogo worked. went into recovery, flashed magisk 12, rebooted, installed magisk manager. safetynet passed, android pay and pogo now work!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
Cool, how did you remove SuperSu? I uninstalled the app, then deleted the folder in TWRP. Magisk 12 failed to flash, it seemed to still see SuperSu. I flashed the kernel in the OP, was considering reinstalling without that.

My problem is I use my phone for work and depend rather heavily on managed GApps, so I have to re-register the Device Policy Manager. While I do have access to that part of the admin console, my boss had asked me not to use it, so I have to pester him to approve the phone (which is already listed in there a couple dozen times from all the previous ROMs!). Since he is seldom in a hurry to do that, I have to make these installs count!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] testsubject00001:
I am having issues installing magistik etc. It is saying my boot.img doesn't have enough space. Can anyone use twrp and back up only the boot image and send it to me? I am trying to avoid the whole process of gong back to stock etc to fix it. I would be forever in your debt.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dOOfus:
in supersu settings, there's an option to remove/switch su apps. i removed it from there.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] howellcp:
Links are dead? Any issues? The go to file host but no servers are found...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] homephysician:
Maybe check your connection.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chelper:
Once Magisk is installed, does it just give any app that wants root access, access? I'm used to how su asks to allow root access. Maybe that's the point of using Magisk?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
I had that too, with 11.6, but when I installed the manager app, it turned out to be working. Couldn't install 12, I might try what d00fus posted a few entries back if I get some time this weekend.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] testsubject00001:
Thanks man I'll give that a shot. I appreciate it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] testsubject00001:
I did get them to install using an older version of magistik and xposed is working. I don't see a magistik app tho. Not sure if there is supposed to be or it's just framework.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cleopete:
You can install the app from the market.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] testsubject00001:
Thanks for everyone help. Everything is working great.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zues532:
Just wanted to say I've been running this for 3 days now and boy I forgot how nice TW based ROMs are.

Excellent work by [MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION]!

Battery life is excellent, and after doing some tweaking in Kernel Adiutor performance hasn't taken a noticeable hit.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Hello, sorry for the hiatus, I've been trying to work on this kernel lately and then my phone went for a swim so it's been drying out in the Bowl of Rice Rehab Center. But just to let yall know I opened up a kernel thread here with an updated kernel. It should be moved soon to the verizon section. It will allow you to pass safetynet but it's also still in beta status. It's stable and the performance seems good but I packed some features in there that I'm not completely sold on yet and the battery life is still somewhat of a mystery. I've flashed a hundred variations of the kernel getting to this point and really haven't given any of them a chance to settle in to come to any real conclusion on that part of it.

As far as the rom goes, I keep thinking they're going to drop a new firmware on us anytime now so I haven't done much with it yet. So stay tuned on that front.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Here's the CQC1 Modem if anyone wants to go ahead and update their modem. It's Odin flashable and just put in the ap slot. With a little luck the rom won't be to far behind.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] testsubject00001:
Sweet thanks. I'm having an issue with mms messages not coming through if I'm on Wi-Fi. I have to turn Wi-Fi off and then download them. I am using att on a Verizon phone so that maybe why. Hopefully this fixes that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I could try pulling the others.xml out of an att firmware that could help with that. Let me know how if you're still having issues after the modem upgrade, it might not be too hard to fix.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
Love, Love, Love this ROM! Installed about a week ago and everything is perfect! The debloat.zip is genius! The 3minit battery mod zip, xposed framework, awesome! This is by far the best ROM I've ever had on my phone. The only thing I've seen to complain about (and I've seen this with other ROMs) is the multi-window menu seems to take a very long time to show up after long-press of the back button. Other than that, I have zero issues. Keep up the excellent work!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Thanks! I know what you mean about the multi window too. It's a frustrating thing to use and it makes me use it less I think with it having that delay. I looked all over the place for the piece of code that controls that pause and can't find it. I saw a couple places that I thought would control it but the changes didn't do anything. I'll keep looking though, maybe it will reveal itself eventually.

I'm hoping to get the new rom up by this weekend. Supposedly the new firmware should be better on the battery and it's supposed to fix the issue with Outlook not syncing emails. So hopefully all that is true.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] caniswesley:
Hi Kevin,

First off, I'd like to say that I absolutely love your ROM. It is the most stable ROM I've ever used for my Note 4. The only problems I've encountered are occasional issues with the Bluetooth, and an inability to use Facebook Messenger (which I searched through this thread for solutions and was unable to find). Is there a solution? Don't mean to be overly invasive in this thread.

Again, thank you for your dedication and amazing development. It is truly appreciated
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] testsubject00001:
Yeah I am still having issues. That would be awesome if you could do that.

You are the man
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
The only other issue with Facebook messenger that I saw was on pg.51 and 52. But that may not be what's happening in your case. The Bluetooth issue has come up from time to time and I have an idea what may be the issue there. I made a few changes in v7 and so far my Bluetooth has been steady. I pretty much have the next version done and it's just a matter of putting the final touches to it. Hopefully these things won't be an issue with the new one.

I'll go ahead and get that then. There's a real good chance that could make a difference I think. Do you normally have to flash some kind of data fix or do you just run the rom as is?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] testsubject00001:
I don't use a data fix. Honestly this is the first time I've used a touch wiz rom in years and didn't need one with asop. Thanks again man

Yeah I am still having issues. That would be awesome if you could do that.

You are the man
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] signupstuffid:
When did this new modem come out? I can't seem to find anything on XDA about it.

Thanks for this ROM! I would love to keep using the Note 7 and S7 ported ROMs, but there are too many broken things and instability.

One thing that works on this ROM that I couldn't get to work on the Nseven ROM is Amazon prime video app. It works great, but will black screen on Nseven.

I will test out the facebook messenger app to see if I also get the same problems other reported.

My dream ROM would be to somehow combine the new features of the Note 5 and 7 ROMs, with the stability of this ROM, and to remove all the proprietary google parts from a touchwiz ROM.

Right now I am using this ROM without ever signing into a google account. I have got most of the apps from the samsung store, f-droid.org store app, and an app called yalp store (that's play spelled backwards) that is on fdroid. It lets you use the play store apps without needing the google framework or play store installed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I feel the same way. The longer I have this phone the more I'm just tired of all the little issues that come from international roms. One of these days I'm going to try and get a spare note 4. I would really like to try and build a port from the verizon firmware just to see how it would turn out but as far as a daily driver I've become increasingly fond of just the stock note and not having to worry about the things that I feel like should be a constant.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BeckPC:
Having a spare phone to flash and play with is the best. I've tried all the ROMs and have backups for more testing. Battery life is totally different from your daily device. Trust me, I can go days without charging it, as long as I'm not using it a lot. I also prefer stock, but love the little improvements as we upgrade ourselves, since Verizon never will. That's what makes it a great ROM to start with and build on yourself. Make it your own.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
UPDATE!

I got the update posted. Enjoy!

Changelog:

Rooted with Magisk

Multi-Dpi

Private mode working

Stock Kernel

Firmware update

Passes Safteynet

I also had to remove Viper4Android for the time being. By using Magisk the install method is a bit different, but I'm trying to get it worked out now. I also changed the way it was debloated to try and accommodate some requests.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BeckPC:
Got it downloaded and installing now. I'm anxious to get it running and see what it can do! Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] YuckerDisMe:
I updated to CQC1 and installed the new update. Everything installed just fine but when i go to settings and click on wifi, the settings force close :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SimpyD:
Also having wifi problems, its off and cannot turn it on.. running newest modem.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Crap, I didn't even notice that. I have the same issues. I'll get a fix uploaded asap. Sorry.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
It looks like the framework didn't deodex properly so I pulled the download and am going to rebuild the whole thing. The mods are all done so it shouldn't take very long hopefully.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BeckPC:
I can tell you the modem has nothing to do with it. I'm getting the same, but I haven't upgraded the modem yet. Rolling back to the previous version until the update is released.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mwebb34:
Oh, thank you buddy

Love this rom by far better than most Iv ran. I'm using flat style bar indicators with this rom and 3 mint and it's awesome!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I really appreciate your kind words. I've been tinkering around a little and I think it's running much better with this next version, but work has been so crazy I haven't had much time to add enough to warrant another release. Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to do more.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mwebb34:
You are welcome,give credit were its due right...Cant wait for the next release. Take you're time beother! You have probably had many many requests, I would like to see a AOSP rom, that's my request if and when you get time. I feel ya on the work brother, I usually bust of 84hrs a week so I know what's it's like. When a man works as much as we do you hardly have time to do the things that you love. You are doing a great job with youre development keep it up!!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mwebb34:
I have a question, it doesn't relate to ROMS. Do you know how to read data packets from NG Interceptor? I have been looking for someone to either help me read them or someone I can pay to read them. If you don't do that would you know anyone else that could maybe help me out with this? Thank you

Advanced Labs V.I.P Member
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
No, I'm sorry I don't think I would be much help in that area.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mwebb34:
Ok thought I'd ask

Advanced Labs V.I.P Member
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ekeppel:
First off, thanks for the work on this ROM. It has been very stable for me, which is more than can be said for several other ROMs I've tried so far. :)

I've installed Xposed along with a bunch of modules, and everything is working great as well.

A quick question, though it's probably something simple that I'm missing...

Is there any way to disable the 3-minute battery mod or even a way to change the settings for it? I prefer no battery icon and only a simple text percentage display, but I couldn't find anything that would be freezable in Titanium Backup. If anyone knows an easy way to just disable it or remove the additional unneeded 3-minute battery icon, that would be great.

Thanks again - Great ROM!

Eric
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I think the only way might be to decompile the ui and take it out that way. I'm at work right now, if you don't find a solution by the time I get home, but I can fix one for you when I get home.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mwebb34:
Hey bubba which modules you running?

Advanced Labs V.I.P Member
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ekeppel:
Hi,

I'm currently running the following modules:

Firefds Kit (to remove excessive icons like smartstay, nfc and alarm from notification bar)

Network Speed Indicator

NotifyClean

XHangouts (for the black hangouts theme)

Xposed Torch

Youtube Adaway

I find that Firefds Kit and NotifyClean don't work 100%, but I believe this is more a Samsung Marshmallow issue more than anything to do with this ROM, really. Some settings in Firefds do nothing, and notifications from some apps aren't removed by NotifyClean, whereas others are. Comparing Firefds, XBlast, Xtouchwiz, and Gravitybox, the one where the least number of settings was broken seemed to be Firefds, so that's what I've been using.

Samsung's changes to the code means that some modules designed for stock Android just don't work properly on TouchWiz ROMs. For example, I have not been able to get SettingsUI tweaks to function at all, probably because it's not there to begin with. If I enable it in Firefds, it breaks the ability to open the full list of quickmenu settings from the dropdown and long pressing on the settings gear icon doesn't do much of anything either. It's supposed to add SystemUI tweaks to the settings menu, from what I understand, but as mentioned above, I'm guessing it's trying to call code that doesn't exist in TW ROMs, lol.

If anyone knows of a fully working Gravitybox like module that I'm overlooking, I'd love to hear about it.

Eric
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mwebb34:
Sweet flat style bar indicators is pretty fun also. It lets you change the data icon WiFi icon and much more. Check it out.

Advanced Labs V.I.P Member
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ruinertt:
Nice, stable ROM so far. The 'fast charging' for the battery seems to be off a little, but I'll continue to monitor. For a while it wouldn't go past 90% and everything is stock (complete wipe on the initial ROM install, no mods, stock battery, etc).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Battery Options:

So I finally got the flashable zips posted that I'm hoping clears up the problem with both batteries showing when the rom is installed. There's also options to have stock battery instead of 3minit and no battery. If you have both and want 3minit only flash 3minit file or if you want to go back from stock or no battery.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Did the fast charging issue ever clear up?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] blthun81:
This ROM looks great. Is the dialer available as a standalone apk or flashable zip?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
There is quite a few ported Grace apks at this thread. There's a few that might not work but most work well. That's where the one in this rom comes from.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bonzai299:
HI kevintm78,

Thanks for the ROM. Definitely digging it. Haven't found any bugs yet except the dual battery icons in the statusbar.

Are there any other mirrors for the flashable battery zips? I'm getting "no mirrors found" from AFH.

Thanks again for your hard work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Oh yeah, thanks for pointing that out. Which one were you trying to get and I'll upload to mega for the moment.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bonzai299:
I was originally trying for the stock zip, but ended up buying the 3minit app and liking it. Haha. Can you upload the one that removes the extra % and leaves the 3minit?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jcooler:
I likely already know the answer to this, but I figured I would ask anyway..... Do you think we will be able to dirty flash the update (once you publish) over existing V7?

I just finished clean flashing V7 and getting everything setup last night, and was hoping to not have to do it again so soon. :)

I'm assuming that a clean flash will be needed again, but i thought it was worth asking, since you have an idea what all will / will not be changing.

Side note. I am a new owner (4 days) of a used Note 4 purchased from ebay. This is the first custom rom I have tried, and based on most of the comments from others in this thread, it will likely be the long term rom for me. From the few hours that I have used the rom, it seems to be really good so far. Nice job, and thank you for all your hard work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
I'm sorry about the screw up, every new firmware seems to bring different issues to the table during the rom building process and deodexing is always a pain in the ass, but I think what I would do is when you go to wipe everything in twrp don't check the data box. That way all the apps you've downloaded will still be in place. I had tried dirty flashing the newly deodexed rom over the other and it didn't clear the problem but I think if you do it that way it should, hopefully.

I can't believe I missed that flaw. My wifi was connecting during the setup wizard and I never did go back to check it apparently. Apologies to everyone who already downloaded the rom.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] YuckerDisMe:
lol its not that big of a deal. It doesn't take very long to restore to the previous version. You've done a lot for us when you didn't have too so I don't think people will mind waiting a little bit for it to be fixed. Just take your time and let me know if you want me to test anything for you :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] caniswesley:
You are a true artist with ROMs, sir. I appreciate this new ROM very much. It is even more stable, and following the directions to install JUST Magisk instead of SuperSu, and not using anything else: Android Pay operates perfectly, as does Facebook Messenger and everything else thus far. Bluetooth is also operating much better. Thank you!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JOSHSKORN:
I have a noob question for anyone that can answer this. I know your instructions say to wipe everything but SD and Internal, but when i flashed v6 awhile ago, I wiped internal and everything worked fine. What does NOT wiping Internal do vs wiping it? Does this mean that my apps that were installed will still be there?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zues532:
Just a heads up, aside of the Wi-Fi FC issue on v7, I also was unable to disable the lock screen.
