[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JavixKGD:
I know bud u keep telling me that, lol. I am trying but fact of the matter is you know there is only soo much we can push our N4 to. Lastly we seem to be stuck on MM kernel and every newer phone is coming out with Nougat and we cannot follow until an N4 Nougat kernel is out. So I am trying to spice up these roms, but you do know ur not going to get this much goodness anywhere else right? LOL!!!!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Tidewater:
I'm on qb1 and it took around 26 mins to boot for me. But it booted and has been nothing but greatness since. Love this rom

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 PM ----------

Just FYI, running the latest ram kernel v8 from last night on the n7 ROM with qb1 and everything is about as good as I think it will ever be with this phone. Not one single issue and battery life is impressive. Thanks to Javix and Ram121
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dlongnasty:
OK I'll give it a try. Thanks a lot man.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BIGDADDYXXL:
Most definitely agree. And I completely understand that you can only do so much, I appreciate everything.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BIGDADDYXXL:
Here you go

Edit: I have some icons from the Samsung theme store.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dlongnasty:
I just tried again and let it sit for over 40min still stuck at the Samsung screen. I'll try to download again just to make sure I didn't have a bad download.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Tidewater:
Try flashing v8 of ram kernel and super su 2.78 from mods folder right after install before first restart. Has worked for me everyone with that combo
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JavixKGD:
Well guys there are going to be a few changes for the upcoming roms. What changes are we going to see? Well for starters I will not be doing a stock and then an update only one rom with mods already included, why? Because it is more work I have to invest in making newer roms and I honestly do not have that kind of time anymore (I will give you guys stock uis and stock apps in the mods folders). Secondly, the next iterations of all three roms I will release soon will be final versions of each rom, why? Because there is not much more I can actually do to these roms to add more features, mods, apps or nothing of the sort. Mods are honestly maxed out to what each rom can support. Features, well I have tried to provide as many stock features as well as ported features to each rom. Apps, well you guys can always look for newer apps and updates around XDA and nothing else of the sort. The reason I am saying this is because I have too much work in my hands from my actual work and honestly it is taking away from my family which means I have no time whatsoever to be behind a computer coding all day long for countless days to finish roms and release them and as you guys can imagine, my family does come before anything in the world to me. The only reason I am going to finish my N4 project is because I want to do it for myself, so since it is going to be done regardless I will release it. I want all of those stock features in my rom aside from having every custom mod I can cram into it. Alas, I am sorry to tell you guys that until such time there is an update to Nougat for the N4 I will not make any more roms because I can not port any more devices since all devices have now moved on to Nougat and coming soon the O so we are actually being left quite behind now. It has definitively been an honor providing you guys my great roms, and this is not good bye its just me saying no more roms or updates or anything of the sort. I will still be coming into the thread every now and then to check up on things and try to answer questions as I go. I trust there are many capable folks in here that really help out and are always on the lookout to answer any questions they can. Hope you guys can understand this and be at peace with it!! Good night to all!!!

PS: Its 3:20 AM my time (Puerto Rico) and I am currently making some adjustments to the N4 Stock rom to finish the coloring of the panel which is something that other devs had not been able to do on our device, wish me luck!!!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JavixKGD:
Ok so I have also found an issue with the N7 rom which seems to address why it boots up on some devices and not on others. Hopefully this will fix that issue and everyone can enjoy the rom without problems
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Tylorw1:
Awesome. I went to RR Remix to get Nougat and more updates, since I had no luck getting the new update to boot. RR has some power drain issues though. I am eagerly awaiting :D.

Have you ever considered making a ROM that is not based off of Samsung's TouchWiz?

Tylorw1
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] srdryl:
First let me start by saying I love this rom it's the most stable and I love the customization. the only frustration I continue is with the fact quick unlock has not been made available yet for the 3.3 update.

Question are you going to do an update for n910t? and can you incliude quick unlock with this update

Thks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JavixKGD:
Well I have thought about it, but then I also thought about how many note and samsung features I would miss and just let it go. Iessed with AICP earlier in my life but it just was not enough to make me forget touchwiz based.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Tylorw1:
TouchWiz base is by far the most feature rich. However, I am starting to love the simplicity and performance the more vanilla android has. When you release the new update I'll likely install it. Hehe

Tylorw1
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JavixKGD:
Yeah, what kills me is the operative word u used, the "simplicity". While it gives you the performance "oomph", it just does not have enough features altough the cm theme engine is out of this world and by far supercedes that of samsung's in many things, only thing is samsung applies the theme to some other things like the keyboard and toggles and maybe other things I am missing
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Tylorw1:
It's take and give with it. I would of thought the same thing 2 months ago. I don't use my note 4 as my phone anymore. And there are few things that TouchWiz has that Lineage doesn't now. However, like I said, the battery don't last long so, give and take with what ya get.

Tylorw1
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] burntrat:
I wish Samsung just provided the hardware and Google worked on the software while adding things like s pen support etc.

Dang it, I just realized if I move onto the new note 4 mm Rom, I won't be able to theme.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wakkigy:
Awesome rom, very smooth great as daily rom. One issue I have is that the SmartManager will occasionally throw an error saying it has to be stopped.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] burntrat:
Did you get that error since day 1 or did it just start popping up? I've been getting a bunch of smartcardmanager crashing messages today (no issues for the last 2.5 weeks). I thought it was maybe because I froze some things last night.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BuggerBug:
I got that error since day one for me. Happened on another S7 rom too so I'm not sure what's up between my phone's sd slot and s7 rom. I just disabled the smartcardmanager since I find no use for it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] burntrat:
I turned power saving and ultra power savings on recently just to test it out. After turning them off, I did see a notification something about the sdcard. I wasn't really paying attention, but I wonder if that's related to the smartcardmanager crashes.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wakkigy:
Yup same here - got it since day 1. I will just disabled it as well. Thanks for the advice.

Btw, I'm also on S7 rom.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JavixKGD:
Yup it is and I dont want to give just take, lol. But I do agree with it being better for battery and stability wise. I remember doing a battery test on CM on 5.1.1 and I had 18 hours of battery time and still had like 48% left it was ridiculous.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JavixKGD:
Well not full on. I will be adding theme engine but only for app icons and wallpaper. I am trying vigorously to color all parts of the notification panel. U will also be able to change images in MMS screen and dialer as well as color all volume panel. The only thing missing to be themed is the keyboard, and that is a whole different story. But, hey for a stock that is a lot. Lets see what else I can get in there because it is making my life a living hell, modding that UI is way harder than N7 or S7 because it is a frankenstein UI where it is MM but has many smalis looking like lollipop still and many mods work only on MM and on. So, some frustration in some parts, but were moving in the right direction.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] burntrat:
WHOA, was not expecting that. I was trying to make a tough decision on sticking with s7 for the themes or sacrifice it for more toggles and Wi-Fi calling. What you have so far sounds amazing. I use Swype so I don't use stock keyboard. I get your time is limited. Please take all the time you need. I am in no rush. Truly thank you again for these roms.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JavixKGD:
Yeah taking my time cuz one mod takes me one whole day whereas in S7 and N7 I would do about 3 to 4 per day. So it is going a bit slower but we are moving. I am still pushing on the noti panel colors it just doesnt want to color fully and some part color half way like the header. Still finding the right ids for it. The thing is I have to add ids, recompile,test, look, no luck, look for ids again and repeat the process, it is tiring but that is my last thing missing also cannot color the icons on statusbar like S7 and N7, still looking for a way to do it, but as of now no luck. Its going along and when it is finished it will have almost all the same things as overdrives and then some
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] captivated1971:
Surely this will work on epk2 also right? Since I'm running an epg2 rom.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JavixKGD:
Well, I have seen people running these roms up to QB1 so I am thinking that it wont be an issue. Theoretically, it should work, but as I have said before dont quote me on that.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JavixKGD:
Here are some more screenies of what is almost done.......

I have been adding some S8 apps hopefully I can have this rom finished sometime next week
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JavixKGD:
Forgot to show the volume panel....
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JavixKGD:
Almost have the noti panel coloring done......

Working on the brightness panel now. It is not going to be as customizable as my other roms but the panel will be fully colorable. It is also going to be done in a different manner. You can do gradient or even images. So I guess it is going to be some fun experience
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Tylorw1:
I like it! Your phone needs charging though. ;)

Tylorw1
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JavixKGD:
I give u a break through and u give me my battery stats, lol. That made my day. Ill keep u guys posted on what is coming
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Tylorw1:
Hey. I'm a simple modder, not a super smart developer. Lol. At least I gave you some amusement.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JavixKGD:
Well Im not super smart, just smart enough to move around the coding and find flaws and fixes. The best attribute here is perseverance. Even though others tell u it cant be done keep pushing forward if u believe u can do it. U dont have to be super smart just have some perseverance. By the way, very amused here. Looking at piles of code to figure out the brightness panel bg, lol!!!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Tylorw1:
I used to do a little bit of coding like, 2 years ago or so. Not the theming, but I setup aroma script for a multiple kernel installer, and some other stuff too. Not much with framework code though.

Tylorw1
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] captivated1971:
Looks awesome [MENTION=6666032]JavixKGD[/MENTION]
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JavixKGD:
Thanks bud. Hope to have this finished soon
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BIGDADDYXXL:
Good, I'm really itching. Lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JavixKGD:
Here is another screenie of progress......

So good news is I was able to get the brightness icons to color as in my other roms which let me tell u was harder than taking a car to the moon. Now, I still cant get the damn panel to color completely. There are still some white areas. The quick connect pannel is coloring but only shows up in the lockscreen [emoji23] [emoji23] . So there are still bugs to workout but I am getting there. I think it is looking much better now. What do u guys think?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] captivated1971:
Looking good
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Tidewater:
Those are some interesting color combos you have there sir ?. Everything looking great so far. Have you run into the problem that ovrdrives stock mm ROM had where you would reboot the phone and just randomly everything was reset back to just as it was with first install? I remember talking with him about it and him saying that it was probably the Frankenstein code causing this. Just curious
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JavixKGD:
Everything working just fine here. I did take a different route from overdrives in that area plus applying a old method for it as well for the quicksettings panel, so that must we be why i had some success in this area, it is a hybrid. I am just missing one small edge in the brightness panel to have everything fully colourable, look........

But I am sure I will get it eventually. It might take a bit longer now that my computer finally gave out after 7 years and I am doing my final mods from my phone but I know that I can get it done somehow. I have been able to add a few more mods that are not in my other roms because of the N4 stocks "lollipopish" frankensteins methods. However, because of the latter I have also lost some mods, but I think that they r not too noticeable. Ill pm u guys soon with the beta and u guys tell me what u think.

Edit: I am going to start working on modding the keyboard as well to have everything and I do mean everything fully customizeable in my roms. Of course I will add my new keyboard to my other roms and try to add a few more things to my other ones. Just to give u guys a tough time trying to decide which rom to use or just use one per week, [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] !!!!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Tidewater:
Everything is looking amazing. Can not wait to give it a go
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] burntrat:
Sucks what happened to your PC. 7 years is a good run these days depending on what broke down. I hate planned obsolescence.

Things are looking good there man. Appreciate the pics showing it getting closer and closer to release.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JavixKGD:
It certainly was a good run. Im gonna miss it [emoji22] [emoji22] but what can we do, when it gives it it gives out. The cpu core got too burned up and there is no way of coming back from that. Heated up too much one night, next the core melt down. I opened it up to check and effectively, I knew about it heating up too much when it had a heavy load but still needed to use it so I just kept going. Got it a fan pad and everything but well when its their time it is their time. Anyhow the rom is almost finalized, just that noti panel brightness issue where the cornerr is not getting color and I am getting my butt kicked finding the right panel layout and id for it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Tylorw1:
Very eager for the release. Sad about your laptop but they are not made to last forever. However, hoping my Note 4 does. Hehe. And I bet you had a wonderful time looking at code on your phone...

BTW, what was it that was causing the ROM not to boot on some devices?

Tylorw1
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JavixKGD:
The way the install script was set up. I started using a different kitchen and it was setting up the boot.img (kernel) to be extracted as a file and in a different manner whereas I had always set this up by having the boot.img being retrieved as a directory where the boot image was inside. Dont know if this makes any sense, lol, but that was the issue I think. Which is why people had to reflash kernel and supersu again. Hopefully when I get to uploading all three roms again I will have that fixed and ready to go for everyones pleasure and enjoyment.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Tylorw1:
You didn't have to dumb it down too much for me ;). So basically, the extraction process for the kernel file was messing up. The difference between specifying the exact file, or moving it using a directory extraction. Hmm. That is weird that is would work on some, and not work on others.

Tylorw1
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JavixKGD:
Lol, sorry. I forget some of my users know a thing or two, some more than me. I just gave u a general answer so everyone reading would understand. As we know most users are not really going to understand it unless a very simple answer is provided. To confirm, yes the way it is extracting the kernel screws up the system. I remember having this conversation with overdrive like a year ago where he explained that different install scripts would work on the different variants of the T model. So he made one that worked on both universally, and that was what I had been using, just forgot for this new one to check it and fix it. It is very strange but hey, whatever works, right.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Tylorw1:
No need to apologize . I was only joking hehe. I am eagerly awaiting the release, and hoping it boots this time ;).

Tylorw1
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JavixKGD:
That makes 2 of us, lol. I tested it on my N910T and it booted just fine with everything working fine. No need for extra flash of supersu and kernel. Still trying to find the damn layout or id that covers that small gap in the brightness panel to finish. This thing is kicking my royal behind. Not giving up yet but almost there, lol. Maybe some coca cola and a slice of pizza will help.with concenctration [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] . I am hoping to release this thing very soon. I will give a few the early test release before putting it in the thread.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Tylorw1:
Edit: The kernel and supersu seem not be the issue. It is getting stuck on the ROM booting. Ignore me for a little while I am tinkering with it. lol

Edit2: The note 7 stock ROM did not boot. I am gonna see if the s7 stock will. If so, I am going to start removing items from the n7 updater script and see if I can get the n7 one to boot for me.

Edit3: Removed supersu install and busybox install. Also enabled adb and mtp by default in build.prop. Now will hopefully boot, or I'll have adb to pull a logcat :D. Should of did this a long time ago for you. I'm an ass ;).
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JavixKGD:
Ok so where you see this in the bottom of the updater-script

#BOOT

ui_print(" ");

ui_print("Extracting boot image...");

ui_print(" ");

package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot");

Replace it with

#BOOT

ui_print(" ");

ui_print("Extracting boot image...");

ui_print(" ");

package_extract_file("TWIZtd/kernel/boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p17");

This is what I did. Also replace the kernel which I did as well in TWIZtd/kernel in the zip. I used emotion kernel in my mods folder. U can also change the super su in the zip in TWIZtd/supersu. U can try the one in the mods folder as well, the 2.78.

I keep looking now at the script and I dont know why I thought I changed it to extract dir, I messed that up but as u can see the extract is different on one and the other where on one it is looking for the specific file in a specific address (the new one) and one the other one is scanning for boot.img. That is the same script used on my S7, so like I said it should work for everyone now. Try it and let me know bud
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Tylorw1:
Well this sucks. lol. I changed the boot code (and replaced boot.img with the Emotion Kernal) and removed busybox and supersu, and it is still stuck. I have it connected to my laptop to try and get a logcat but it is not even booting up that far for me. My laptop dings like every 15-20 seconds when connecting/disconnecting from phone, so it is the the roms startup process that is failing somewhere. And without a logcat, it is nearly impossible to know what it is.

Tylorw1

Edit: Going to try one more thing. I noticed a difference in the permissions area between the n7 and s7 ROMS. Going to change the n7 rom to what the s7 has, and see how it goes. However, I can't get stupid TWRP to mtp or adb sideload, so I have to restore the ROM to reupload the new one to the phone -_-.

PS, Man my poor crappy spelling/typing...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JavixKGD:
Well ur going through a lot to get it to boot huh. U must really want that N7
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Tylorw1:
Well I am trying, but still having 0 luck. lol. It just wont boot for me no matter what. Kernel is installing, but when the animation comes on, it loops and doesn't even begin to load Android, since adb is not loading with it either.

Pretty sad I cannot even get a poor logcat out of it. lol. So eve after all of that, it still does not boot. How much is changed to make the note 7 rom boot on a note 4?

Edit: Well. I guess it just isn't going to boot. I just am so confused how it is booting for others and not booting for some. Hopefully you are doing an update to your s7 ROM, not just your n7. Pwease!

Tylorw1
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JavixKGD:
What porting the whole thing? Ud loose about two weeks of sleep and still be half way, lol. The framework port is a nightmare, that is why I used the Norma base. No need to reinvent the wheel if its already made. I think that the issue is still in how the system is installed. After I finish with my final attempts to get the brightness on the N4 fully colored I will do another run at the N7 and test it out with original conditions to see of I can get a logcat. Important question, I am sure I have asked u this already, but ehat device do u have? T3 or T?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Tylorw1:
N910T from T-Mobile. Should I attempt to install norma's ROM and see if I have success?

Tylorw1
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] JavixKGD:
Well u can try lanc project l n7. It is the same base all ready for our phone. Like I said there is something in the install script and the way the system is installing that is throwing everything off. I just need to figure out what it is because I have tested the damn thing in N910T3 and now in my new N910T, and everything has worked in both devices. I will try and get u some directions on what to do specifically to get it to boot. Ill do that in a while after I put in some more time in the N4.

Edit: Try this

#BOOT

ui_print(" ");

ui_print("Extracting boot image...");

ui_print(" ");

package_extract_file("TWIZtd/kernel/boot.img", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot");
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Tylorw1:
I'll try the new code after trying to install norma. It is this one, correct? v9?

https://xdaforums.com/note-4-tmobile/development/norma-n7-port-n910t-t3-t3478418

I just wanna see if I get the same results.
