[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] logosA:
Please let me ask you this:

I have collected 3 BL files BL_N910FXXS1DQC3.tar

One was taken from here, ripee's signature and also _mone 's file uploaded

Second one , I have taken it from _alexndr 's thread and it looks the same , too as it has the same file name and size

Third one, i took it by downloading the stock rom in BINARY NATURE using SAMFIRM application as have posted some days ago.

I would like to ask, if I may, its the same file in all cases, isnt that so?

Will md5 checker determine that with a safer way?

As I have already post , my phone is really mixed up (as it cannt boot without the use of an ext sdcard formatted in special way)

SO , wanting to flash again the latest rom of this thread, I try to be really carefull when it comes to BL, because a mistake there, could easily be the last one for my phone.

Thank you for your time and I am sorry if off topic here

CMSPEN vs. SPenCommand

[MENTION=3041959]fattire[/MENTION]

Can you please shed some light onto why People seem to be so eager on getting CMSPEN working on the Galaxy Note 4 ?

What is its benefit to get CMSPEN Working with Lineage on our Devices ?

I mean I took a look onto its Functionality which seems to be very very limited compared to the Original SPen Application delivered with Stock ROM !?

I generally prefer OpenSource Software, but the Paid App SPenCommand offers by far more Functionality and regarding its Functionality it is quite comparable to the SPen Application delivered with Stock ROM.

bit of a major prob with latest builds [MENTION=6847876]_mone[/MENTION] [MENTION=6005084]ripee[/MENTION] - if i make a call or receive a call, i can hear the other person - they cant hear me. No headsets or bluetooth involved, just a normal call. This persists until i restart the phone - then the other people can hear me. Not limited to a single number, any call to or from any number is the same. This may well have been a problem for a longer time as i actually dont make many calls from mobile, generally sms etc, so no idea how long its been a problem or what causes the mic (im assuming thats the problem) to shut off
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] _mone:
I don't have this problem.. if you can take some logs while the issue occurs I'll may be able to help you.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Luminar2010:
this is the problem, its hard to initiate - no idea what causes it to occur, it can be fine, then if im out and about and not near a pc itll happen. im flashing todays daily to see if it persists
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] _mone:
You can take logs directly on the phone with apps such a catlog or with local terminal (to enable it: Settings > Developer options > Local terminal)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Luminar2010:
ah right thanks, thats helpful, could you tell me the commands to get the logs which would help you? its not an area im familiar with. Many thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Luminar2010:
hi [MENTION=6847876]_mone[/MENTION], i used a logcat app, hope these files are what can help

thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] _mone:
I gave it a quick look (I didn't reach the end).. but I couldn't see anything related to your issue. I'll have a proper look later today. Next time try to take the log when the problem occurs.. open the app, press the home button, make a call (with the issue), go back to the app, save and share the logcat.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Luminar2010:
thanks will do, the call today was around 12.45 which i think the log covers just, but ive no idea what i was looking for. will try to catch it better next time
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ripee:
If your phone cannot boot properly without an sdcard, you could try re-partitioning its internal storage. The easiest way to do this is to flash a stock rom. Afterwards, download the BL and CP for N910F from my signature and flash them with Odin. then flash twrp in odin with the twrp tar file, factory reset, flash lineage, optionally gapps. wipe cache and dalvik and reboot.

I almost forgot: copy lineage and gapps to your sdcard and flash from the card within twrp.

This is a fair question.

* Not everyone wants to put unaudited, closed-source 3rd-party software from random web sites on their phone.

* Not everyone wants to give unaudited, closed-source 3rd-party software root access to their phone

* Not everyone wants to spend or can afford to spend (how much is it? I can't find the price on the web site-- do you have to actually install it to find out?!) money for spen functionality.

* CMSPen is just the base upon which endless additional software can be built and integrated, and can work with existing (proprietary or open source) software. It sends out intents when events occur so *should* be compatible as far as signaling to other apps when things happen. Since it's open source, it could be changed to use different intents or multiple intents, but I just left the current one as it was already. This could be changed to "org.lineageos.cmspen.SPEN_EVENT" or whatever if that makes more sense to people.

* But I don't have to decide that. CMSPen can be extended itself by anyone who feels like it to add functionality. Or if there's an app they want to react to SPen events, they can just add an intent filter to react to that event.

* I was kind of upset that other spen software on the play store appear to be lets just say not fully complying with the GPL, so wanted to have a fully open and working alternative out there

* It was fun for me to go back to after two+ years and update it. I don't even have my spen any more, but _mone helped test for me.

* I forgot SPenCommand existed until you mentioned it.

* CMSPen auto-builds with the rest of the operating system and isn't a standalone app anyone has to install manually. To include it in a rom, just add one line to your device tree and include the project in your local manifest.

* People having issues in the comments at the bottom with SPenCommand don't seem to have anywhere else to go.

I'm not saying cmspen works 100%-- I can't test it-- but I'd rather see such an important part of basic OS functionality be open rather than closed. If the basic functionality is working, then the feature set can grow as people integrate it with other apps.

Plus it was something to do when I was bored.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ripee:
[MENTION=3041959]fattire[/MENTION], please be bored more often :D
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Modtronix:
[MENTION=3041959]fattire[/MENTION] thank you for even taking the time to look at it for as you said, years. I myself find I use my s pen oft, it in fact was part of why I wanted a note series. So again, thank you.

First off, thanks to all the folks working tirelessly to keep my Note 4 alive. I had been on a dead cyanogenmod 12 build for months getting no updates, and suddenly I've gone from L to N instantly. And your unofficial builds are quite stable.

One thing i'm curious to know is if anybody else has noticed or if you guys are looking into the battery drain issues caused by "Mobile Standby". I was originally on [MENTION=6847876]_mone[/MENTION]'s 20170224 build and yesterday I upraded to [MENTION=6005084]ripee[/MENTION]'s 329 build from last night, but I'm still getting quite a bit of drain.

I'm running an N910W8 (a canadian note 4) but this should be equivalent to an N910T, so I'm using the trltetmo builds. One thing I found on my W8 is that the best I can do for BL and MODEM is the DPK1. I notice a lot of people are using the EPK2 modems, but Heimdall won't load that on my W8. Are my battery issues all a result of this? If so, what are my options here if I can't get EPK BL and MODEM to flash on my device?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Luminar2010:
[MENTION=6847876]_mone[/MENTION] here is the log at straight after an Amazon app black screen and crash. This happens in a few apps now and again. Cheers
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ripee:
[MENTION=3502590]doesntcount[/MENTION], try flashing BL and CP through Odin. If need be, we can convert them to Odin flashable tar files.

But don't thank me for tireless daily builds, thank my laptop. Speaking of which, I'm up to build 0330 now.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Luminar2010:
Would it be possible to have latest bl and modem as flashable from the device? I absolutely hate using Odin lol
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] doesntcount:
Unfortunately, I can't use Odin as I'm running Linux. So I use heimdall. Should be the same. I flash everything else (TWRP, my DPK1 MODEM and BL, etc.) using Heimdall.

If you're certain Heimdall is my problem though, I could try to source a windows machine to make this happen.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Modtronix:
Same not for hating it but my comp is 500 miles away ATM literally. So that would be much help.

More CMSpen thoughts.

Incidentally, as far as adding built-in functionality (as opposed to having other apps react to the Intents), here are a few fun pre-written things that could be pretty easily "plugged-in":

Circle menus: https://android-arsenal.com/details/1/4631 (Apache licensed)

Flyout menu: https://android-arsenal.com/details/1/3902 (MIT license)

Fan menu: https://android-arsenal.com/details/1/3555

Or any of a number of options. I think you'd just need to add some kind of settings menu to be able to program what you want the various buttons to do when you press them, then use the SPen to bring up the (pre-written) menu as an overlay.

Similarly, a simple DrawingView or whatever could be used to add memos, etc. There are color pickers and such that can be integrated as well.

Anyway, I'm not volunteering to do all that-- but just sayin' someone could.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Sharon TLV:
I totally do not agree with you.

SPen IS PART OF THE PHONE.

IT'S A DEVICE WITH FUNCTIONALITY.

When SPen is not working - you device is not fully working.

Part of making Lineage 14.1 / Nougat official for Galaxy Note 4, and also getting OTA updates means your device should be FULLY WORKING WITH ALL OF ITS FUNCTIONS AS A STOK ROM.

So,

If you want to make Lineage official for Note 4,

We need to make SPen work.

Any way to have normal screen colours (it is called simple mode in samsung roms) and not this awful oversaturation?

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Dexter666:
Live display is only colour temperature (I have it off already).

Anyway what I needed was "screen calibration" and cut off red by a lot, green little and minimal blue. Need some tests though, it's just a quick fix for now.

Glad you got it sorted.

Is it possible to add S-PEN functions without making the rom pre rooted?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ripee:
For the sake of argument, AOSP-based roms are never as feature-rich as stock roms due to proprietary apps and other such patented UI functions. It's the main trade-off you make when you decide to switch to a custom rom, another being stability. The best that can be done, as fattire mentioned, is open source alternatives being developed or making due with 3rd party apps, either off the Play Store or shady apk websites.

Furthermore, only the Note series (except the Note 1) and some Tab models have an S Pen, no other Samsung device or any other OEMs have built-in styluses (styli?).

I'm sorry to tell you, but if you want similar handwriting recognition and screenshot editing functionality as stock touchwiz (never as good as stock, so forget about true feature parity), either pay up for 3rd party apps, wait until open source alternatives are developed, or go back to touchwiz.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Dexter666:
1. Any way to turn off quick charge (makes phone too hot when you are charging and excessively using it)?

2. Long home button press does not call out google search, even when I installed google now and checked long home press search app - do I miss something?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] fattire:
Wait-- I thought [MENTION=2063603]sharont[/MENTION]LV was volunteering to single-handedly rewrite all those proprietary spen touchwiz apps. Thanks, Sharon, on behalf of everyone for taking on this challenge!

Oh I kid.

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ripee:
Have you enabled "Google App" as the default for "Assist & voice input" under the main Apps setting? If you change it to "None" then the home button will not launch Google search. Alternatively, have you disabled the Home button long press in the Buttons settings?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Dexter666:
yeah, I guess I missed setting "assist app" in app settings, thank you so much.

Now I only need turning off fast charge to be happy with this rom.

PS. What does mean

#

in status bar by wifi icon?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ripee:
It means that an app that's currently open has root access. I switched to SuperSU precisely because it hides that pesky "#" when some apps like ES File Explorer maintain that icon even after you close them.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Incarniac:
It means an app that's using root is running.

Hi [MENTION=6642305]Sharon TLV[/MENTION] ! Did You Realy Know the Differences About "Samsung Stock and Custom Stock ROM?

FIRST: Samsung will never TRY OUT Android 7.xx for the Note 4 Devices.

SECOND: LINEAGE OS is an AfterROM, Build for Devices they Have Ended OFFICAL UPGRADE to Higer Revision ROMs.

The SPEN is Hardware. If it Works Like You want, You must Install External APPs, its not A Part of CUSTOM ROMs.

And OFFICIAL for "LINEAGE OS" means: WHEN THE DEVS FEEL THAT THE ROMSTATUS IS STABLE ENOUGH, INCLUDED ROOT

WILL BE DELETED, ROM WILL BE SIGNED, AND YOU WILL FOUND IT ON THE "OFFICIAL LINEAGE SITE".

UPDATES CAN BE DONE VIA OTA, WHAT IS DISABLED AT THE MOMENT!

IS IT CLEAR NOW?:)

hsbadr's trltevzw doesn't work on your phone? Is there a way to reverse-engineer compiled builds? hsbadr's source trees are the holy grail of Note 4 custom development...
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] SUREFACE:
Looks Good for You! I think for this Device, the Day will come for an Official ROM. Ask [MENTION=6847876]_mone[/MENTION] , he can Give You more Infos!:)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Incarniac:
As ripee said, I would have thought that hsbadr's Verizon builds worked for you (with the right modem and bootloader). It seems his EmotionOS builds are more up to date than his LineageOS ones, but EmotionOS is LOS-based so perhaps worth a try if you haven't already. Congratulations on ordering an S8+ though. It's a beautiful looking device that no doubt will be fantastic to use :)

That's not quite right - LOS isn't about being for devices that no longer receive official upgrades, though that is often a benefit. There are LineageOS builds available for quite a few devices that still receive official upgrades (including, but not limited to, the Samsung S7 and S7 Edge as well as the OnePlus 3/3T). Pocket-Lint has a page that summarises the status of Android 7.1.1. Official upgrades are often slow, mind you.

For once I left my phone off the charger overnight, and lost 5% in just under 8 hours. I consider that amazing. Connected to wifi.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] SUREFACE:
Yes and No! Youre Statement is Right too. What I Mean is, When Official Rom Updatecyclus Ends, You will have the Choice (If an CustomRom like LineageOS) will made for the Device. The Note 4 become Security Patches and SystemUpdates for MM. Time will come that this will End. So we (I Hope) have an Actualy (AfterROM). :)

Samsung Give updates for 18 Month (+ some Month for Last ROM Securitypatches). Update to Android 7.xxx is Not in the Plan for the Note 4 Devices. :)

Intention of using CMSPen

[MENTION=3041959]fattire[/MENTION]

Thanks for your detailed Explanation - it helps to understand the intent of many Users choosing to use CMSPen.

However - in Summary it seems to be a individual Decision for everyone which one of both to choose.

I personally would always prefer OpenSource wherever possible - partially because of similar Reasons you mentioned - but since the lack of Functionality I'd go for the commercial Variant SPenCommand for now.

I am not a Person who's taking Things as they are - I rather want to understand the Backgrounds and also the Thoughts & Intentions of other People before taking my own Decisions.

Again - thanks for explaining .... :good:

building trltevzw from scratch

Don't give up on your trltevzw yet! I'm creating my own "proprietary_vendor_samsung" repo based on EmotionOS's repo of the same name, but I'm including trltevzw blobs that I extracted from hsbadr's latest lineage build. It's probably better not to tag him in our discussion of my reverse-engineering of his repo, but then again, it's not as if his build zip files are encrypted or anything like that. I'm using Emotion's trltespr blobs as a template for the files I need to copy over. Together with Zecozhang's "android_device_samsung_trltevzw" repo, I should have a fighting chance of successfully building trltevzw.
