Has anyone established what (if any) differences are between this rom (Aurora) and Norma? Looks like [MENTION=3811882]ormefocus[/MENTION] seems to prefer Aurora. Thanks for that, but would like to know what any differences are?

Last, if someone could assist in proper update procedure from cod6 (5.1.1) to this I would appreciate it. I only have the 1 phone and can't be without, so I'd like to sit down and do it successfully the first time. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Manan79:
so far what i seen in threads, it is 50-50 between aurora and norma, not much to choose between the two , both roms are great and everything works, few tweaks here and there, so you can try both for 2 days and keep one you like.

-- backup your data , contacts, sms, and anything else you want to .

assuming you have 910T and you are on cod6.

1. Download N910TTMB2EPG2 baseband and bootloader from below link , and flash using ODIN (if you dont know how to use odin, there are many threads explaining the same , dont worry if your phone does not boot up after long wait time, you can still go in download mode and flash recovery as mention in step 2 , and follow from there.

1. http://xdaforums.com/note-4-tmobile/development/uvu1cog2-n910t-bootloader-baseband-t3179020

2. flash TWRP recovery (again you can find by searching)

3. flash any ROM you want after following standard wipes

there might be different steps pp follow, but something like above works for me
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tradejak66:
Loving this ROM so far. Was having trouble with apps not pushing notifications until I opened them and I knew it had something to do with the phone putting them to sleep. A quick search here let me fix that.

One big problem I'm having is the battery life. This ROM has an excellent standby time for me. After school id usually hover around 60% but now I'm at 80%. The problem I have is, the screen on time seems to be really good at eating away the battery.

I see 3.0 is out and apparently might've fixed battery issues but I'm having trouble figuring out if it can be dirty flashed. Besides that, ROM feels beautiful. I love the s pen gif feature so much.

Can you elaborate?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] free4flight:
Go into Aurora settings in the app drawer, go to Enhancement settings>Custom Button function and set it up.

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 AM ----------

There is a couple ways, you can go into screen grid size and go 5x5, that will reduce the size a bit. Also, you can change dpi by

using a root editor, go to build.prop in system root files, scroll down til you see, LCD Density and change the value, i.e. =520 or whatever

value you may want, within reason. Too big or too small can screw up some things. And there are some dpi proggies available. Dr Ketan

has one available, but you will have to do a search for it here in XDA

Here's a Netflix fix flash in recovery

https://www.dropbox.com/s/4ukp4wqook0qj3w/Netflix_fix.zip?dl=0
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mystic74:
It looks like this is prepared for Note 2 and only deleting a .so file.

My guess would be build.prop

In the build.prop this device is Note 7.

Netflix should be reading it and trying to use Note 7's CPU and GPU and fails because of this is a Note 4 device

So making modifications in the build.brop and updating ro.product.model to the original may fix your Netflix issues.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] omair2005:
What would I set it up to? Sorry for being annoying. I did play with it, but not sure if I should launching custom app, or search, or something else
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] free4flight:
Please be a little more specific as to your question. If you are talking about setting up the Aurora settings>Enhancement settings>Custom Button Function...you will see a double click, a long pressing the home button, long press task button, long press back key. Choose one, go in and set up whatever app or function you wish to assign to the key. Search is one of the options.

:( ok... failure during epg2 upgrade. I installed USB drivers. Got Odin 3.09 and 3.07. Got the EPG2 files from the above link. Put the T-mobile 910T Note 4 in download mode (volume down, home, power) put the bootloader file in the BL section, but the baseband file in the CP section. phone shows as connected to com4, hit START... goes halfway and FAILS.

Now the phone won't reboot either, says firmware update failure, please connect to kies.

This is what I was afraid of --- Can someone help me?

Ok I was able to flash the DOK2 BL/CP files from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/note-4-tmobile/development/mirror-stock-tw-t3260858

using odin 3.09 and it successfully flashed and completed. Now my phone boots.

OK - I'M LOST..............
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Ganbara_Knight:
I've noticed that when I set apps to stay in the notification so they don't die out or so that they will reappear in the notification when I restart the phone, they do not stay in the notification. I've tried it multiple times and it always disappears from the notifications after a few hours or after a restart. Is there anyway around this?

Thank you.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] free4flight:
You were able to flash DOK2 but not EPG2? If I understand you correctly, PG2 failed?

Make sure you have a good copy of both the BL and the CP and try it again. You may have to redownload those files, then load them into Odin before hooking the phone up, then when ready, hook up the phone and once you get the com, then start.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Manan79:
You should be able to load EPg2 just the same way

Have you been able to get your hands on a SystemUI for Aurora with ROUND NOTIFICATION ?

I was able to change recent apps

But not notification

The new SystemUI is configured differently
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Araltd:
Somehow the first files for EPG2 I downloaded were obviously corrupted or bad? I downloaded them (from the same source) several times even on different computers. I tried 3 or 4 versions of Odin but couldn't get the EPG2 BL/CP to flash. DOK2 did flash... Somehow I got the link confused obviously? I dunno.. I finally downloaded proper EPG2 BL/CP files from this link

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=20602

Used Odin, flashed in download mode and it completed successfully. Yay.... Flashed twrp 3.0.2.0 (even tho I had 2.8.7.0 I think) again in Odin. Booted to twrp, wiped internal memory, system, cache, all that.. Flashed the rom file, emotion r26 kernel, wiped cache again, reboot let it sit for about 10 mins and its up and running.

Thanks for all the help in getting me up and running. I appreciate it.

Now, been playing with Aurora v3 for a couple of hours. I noticed the brightness slider stops working sometimes.

The Aurora settings app which controls the status bar is either complicated or confusing for me. I hate the 4g icon! And the signal bars "look strange". Also the battery widget only shows b/w images even when you click a color battery.

Last the always on display seems to work whenever it wants to. Sometimes it stays on, other times it flickers off and on. I have not seen it steady off or steady on yet.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] free4flight:
My battery has color...turn off 3rd party battery icon immersive effect.

To add LTE to signal from 4g add this to others.xml and/or features.xml in System/CSC folder using root text editor, then save and reboot:

<!-- LTE Data Icon -->

<CscFeature_SystemUI_ConfigOverrideDataIcon>LTE</CscFeature_SystemUI_ConfigOverrideDataIcon>

<CscFeature_Framework_ReplaceDataTypeIconAsOpBrand >LTE</CscFeature_Framework_ReplaceDataTypeIconAsOpBrand>
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Manan79:
Great. .it worked for you

And all the issue you mentioned have been answered before ..

1. Always on display has bug and keep it disabled , it will fix brightness slider also , and under display setting ...make mode = adaptive cinema

2. The battery icon will work with color and design when you select 3rd party battery icon...also switch on 3rd party battery icon immersive color effect option...just below that ( it will only come when. You select 3rd party battery)

3. Haven't seen problems with signal bars, but there is a way you can make LTE instead of 4g icon...not sure how as I don't care about it .. you can search this in forum

Also you said you wiped internal memory ...in most cases you don't need to wipe internal or external memory ...but only the other options need to be wiped

Lol just saw the above answer already has details...did not see before posting my answers

Making some progress on Google Now on Tap:

1. Update the google app to the latest version.

2. Sign in the app and set the language to a supported one as mentioned here

3. In the google app, under settings>Now cards turn on show cards and now on top both

4. In the google app, under settings>voice turn on now on tap (if not already on)

5. Now in the Main Device Settings>Apps>3 dot menu>Configure Apps>Default Apps>Assist & Voice Input>Assist App>Select Google App

6. Just come back to previous menu (Main Device Settings>Apps>3 dot menu>Configure Apps>Default Apps>Assist & Voice Input) and turn on both options: Use text from screen and Use screenshot

Now I need how to figure how to link long press home button to start it up. I think Aurora settings may override Google Now settings for home press?

Yes, sorry for jumping the gun on reporting. I disabled AOD and I'll see if the brightness setting stays active. Hopefully an AOD fix will come along - that is a feature I'd really like to have!

Got the color battery to work after the suggestions from [MENTION=4266527]free4flight[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4796745]Manan79[/MENTION] - many thanks!

Also was able to get the screen search option of Google to enable but I can't seem to activate it. Using Aurora I tried setting long press to search, Google, and voice search. Each does launch but none of them are Google on tap.

Opened kernel auditor and noticed 2 cores were disabled (core 3 and core 4). I enabled them and now see activity on all 4 cores.

Liking just about everything so far. Very excited. Thanks for the help and the great rom!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Araltd:
Quick question for those who might know. I use an app called ip cam viewer. It puts widget on your screen with a screen shot from your security camera(s). I've been using it forever. Basically I get to see what's going on in front of my house everytime I unlock my phone.

Well the widget is not auto updating. It's not automatically grabbing the screen shot. I'm not sure if it's related to this rom? Or if it's a MM issue? I have verified the app has all permissions and is set to auto run.

Is there anything else I can do?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] allroy1975:
This is my new favorite rom. I haven't been very happy with most roms or...maybe just the Note 4 since upgrading from my note 3 a month or 2 ago. The Rom i used to run on my Note 3 had stuff in Smart Manager that would act like Greenify and kill apps after X amount of time. There's gotta be something like that happening here, because my widges and apps are being closed pretty prematurely. Sorry to quote you and not answer your question, but you're not alone. I also want to know why it's happening. Just haven't figured it out yet. I just flashed v3 last night. Had better battery life today than any previous day with my Note 4. just hoping it's not because EVERYTHING is killed in the background. OTOH, i'm getting notifications from hangouts properly.....so....weird. not sure what's up.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Araltd:
Well glad to know it's not just me. I never used the ip cam viewer on MM before - I never used MM before now. So I'm not sure if it's MM, this rom specifically or something else? But I'm so used to those widgets NOT having them is freaking me out. I emailed the author of ip cam viewer to ask if there are any known incompatibility issues with that apps widgets and MM in general. Hopefully he'll reply? I'll Keep the thread posted.

I'm loving the rom. I've had a hard Time putting my phone down all day. I'll post my SOT and battery experience later when I hit 0% or close to it. I'm at 27% right now which imho is pretty good especially considering today's use has been heavy for me.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Araltd:
So I ran the battery down to 2%. These are anker 3220mah batteries about 4 months old (give or take) same size/capacity as the factory batteries.

Brightness was set here.

Usage was heavy. Lots of installing apps again from the play store. No WiFi. All network data. Location (gps) was on for about 4 hours before I realized it and turned it off.

I got over 5 hours of screen on time. I'm impressed with that.

Got all the way down to 2%. Turned on the percentage so you could see, as the color battery meter was white on white.

You can also see the LTE icon. I liked the 4g LTE icon before (5.1.1 LP) more than these. That may be just me? If there's a way to use alternate 4g LTE icons let me know.

Well... There ya go. No issues today what so ever. AFAIK I received all my calls and text. I know all my outgoing calls were placed and received. I'm assuming all my SMS did too? I was in a couple sms conversations back and forth all day.

I hope there will be continued development for this rom. I truly hope AOD starts working correctly at some point in the near future. Continued thanks to the op!

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] angel_pr90:
Bro! That's beautiful! Do you mind sharing what configurations you did to get that kind of battery life? Also, I saw from your post above that you are using the EPG2 baseband and bootloader, when in the install instructions, the OP states that we need to be on EPE3. Just checking to see that you are using EPG2 with no issues? I would jump on this Rom real quick once I get that information. Screw Pokemon go lol.

So the only thing that doesn't work is Google Now On Tap. I'm running Good Lock on top, but it makes the phone a little big more laggy. I don't mind, because I love Good Lock interference specially with grouping persistant notification items into a folder, and the more practical recents menu.

I have been using It, it works for all the note 7 ports. So when ever you flash a note 7 ports wether it's n910t or international n910f/g just flash the ram kernel and the aurora data fix(keeps the no SIM fc away) and your good to go.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] fastguy:
Hi All, both on v2.1 and v3, sometimes I can't double click the notifications in lock screen to jump to the app of the notification. Instead, it turns off the screen.

For example, I get a Whatsapp message. I double click it in my lock screen and expect Android to bring my pattern lock screen so that I unlock it, then show me the Whatsapp window.

Rather than this, when clicking the Whatsapp notification in lock screen, the screen is turned off.

Did anybody notice this? It's the only thing that annoys me.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Araltd:
I'm using the emotion r26 kernel from the first post. Yes I am using EPG2 if you look back I made a post with a linked page where I downloaded the BL & CP files I used.

As for tweaks? None. Just turned off auto on the brightness bar, turned off always on display, set brightness to where you see it on that post (I hope all 3 images show up?) I didn't connect to wifi, I used LTE network data all day. And like I said I downloaded a bunch of previously installed apps from the play store.

I am absolutely loving this Rom so far.

---------- Post added at 03:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 PM ----------

Thank you for the suggest and explaining how to do it! I appreciate it. I tried that but no change. And of course no response from the author. I'm going to have to assume the widget part of that app (ip viewer) works with MM and its a specific setting or incompatibility with this rom.???
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Araltd:
Just another update... Voicemail notification is working fine or at least I assume it is. I'm getting the notification and they are clearing after listening to them with the Tmobile visual voice mail app.

Adding camera effects/modes in the download modes section of the camera app doesn't work. After downloading a new mode the camera force closes (crahses).

I don't like floating messages, is there a way to get the notification screen banner like before? Using default Samsung messaging app.

Still haven't figure out a way to use Google "screen search". I have it activated in the Google app, but holding home doesn't activate it. I've tried with TouchWiz and Nova launcher.

As for my ip cam widget, still can't figure it out. I'm guessing perhaps it requires a permission to access the network on its own? But I don't know how to give it that or check if that's a on or off?

Good job [MENTION=1980250]allroy1975[/MENTION] glad your here... I've gotten excellent suggestions and assistance in the last 2 rom threads I've used... This one and tek HD rom before this.

I noticed VoLTE (HD audio for calls) is not working. And believe it or not I feel like I can tell. Lots of volume variation for me... Callers volume level seems to fluctuate up and down. And of course no wifi calling, and no Google on tap (which I've never used yet period).

So this got me to thinking... What do we gain by using Aurora Note 7 port over the other rom the original poster has up like the note4ux. It has wifi calling, VoLTE..

This is a legitimate question for those who are more knowledgeable than I am - obviously.

(off topic: I told my friend I have a note 6 now... Not quite a note 7 but better than a note 5. He asked what does that new rom give you that makes it awesome...? What is that answer?)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] allroy1975:
This one is the first rom that DIDN'T make me want to go back to the note 3. It's mm, which is nice. Pretty customizable and really smooth with good battery life. I saw you're running the optional kernel but I'm just on the baked in one. It's been (again) better than any other rom/kernel I've run as far as stability and battery life. My uptime is almost 66 hours. I honestly don't think I've rebooted since I flashed the rom. That's crazy! I have Google Voice as my main phone number and while we don't have volte or WiFi calling, Google hangouts dialer seems to work really well for ME...like.... I took a phone call in my basement yesterday. That's unthinkable for me without wifi calling. So... Personally those aren't deal breakers.
