You need a permissive kernel. Kernels are posted in post 3.

For V4A, I use ViPERAtmos 5.4 Stock.zip from this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/themes-apps/viper4android-t2952137

Plenty of self help in the OP of that thread but since this ROM uses /system/etc/init.d with permissive kernel, I just copied the files the zip flash places at /system/addon.d and /system/su.d to /system/etc/init.d also.

Also found an error in line 1 of 50viper.sh There should be no space in that line.

Edit: I've noticed that V4A may not install and run properly because some of the apk's aren't packaged to install in system. Since Lollipop, V4A had progressively gotten harder to install for security reasons and need to keep V4A active for music listening. These all in one packages address much more than compatibility but modify existing scripts and libraries to call these apps and libraries for stock like performance but juiced up appropriately. Highly recommend the thread linked but understand that you shouldn't flash but one sound mod because the mod isn't easily undone without an aroma script. Without that, you'd have to restore a backup or flash the ROM again before trying another sound mod.

I had boot loop problems a few months ago. Also, sometimes my phone would just shut down. It was a bad, but not dead, battery. Don't know i it could resurrect your phone, but a battery might do it.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] asapfappy:
I actually was thinking this, I'll look into it. Any recommendations for a battery? Thanks!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
Logs are disabled in freeza's BeastMode kernel so you'll need to flash the PJ1 kernel I provided in post #3.

I think the reboots must be caused by something with lock screen type. Ex. pin, pswd or pattern. Why this is happening I don't know. If you guys want to run logs and pm them to me I will look at them and see what I can do in my spare time.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kngdmond:
My Note 4 was wigging hard when my battery was going out. Random reboots, shutdown, apps crashed, slow response, and the battery would drain to 20% in a matter of an hour. I pulled the battery and did the spin test and the battery was clearly buldging.

I went on Amazon and bought 2 Anker batteries for $28. My phone now works perfectly.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zaileion:
would love to see a MOAR version. This ROM is absolutely fantastic!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] joetarney:
This rom is great.

I do get random reboots a couple times a day that I can live with.

My only problem is I have used both of the last two kernels posted on the first page and my speed is great but seems like it takes twice as long to charge and I only get 10 hours without use on battery. In constant use I get 4 to 5 hours. Any suggestions on a different kernel or another adjustment I can make?

I think the first kernel listed was stock, would that be better?

What is everybody using?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] joetarney:
...also is there a way to get my front speaker to work again? It quit after flashing this.

Thanks
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] AndyB588:
It works great so far! I didn't copy any of those internal system files, yet, but its all working without that step. If i have issues, i will. So with it up and running why wont it let me install the latest V4A version? L
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
Don't know if you're considering a change but maybe just enjoy it? Lots of optimization and personalization to try. It's very sound and flexible for me. Having both Dolby Atmos and V4A allows the Atmos to amp the volume while V4A can attenuate and control kind of like a preamp so you have appropriate volume control without blasting your loud speaker or ear drums.

If you'll look in the Settings of V4A, check for update and about, you'll see this is the latest and links the developer's XDA thread to confirm latest through his OP as well.

As I said before, I noticed some apk's weren't packaged to install. V4A needs to be a system app. This works so I'd stay with it. I think it is themed but original in all other aspects as far as I know. I don't think this an app you can update in Google Play. I'm not sure how you're updating or swapping the V4A but if you prefer another, you may swap it in the zip or system and change permissions. But if it's not packaged for system, MM may not allow its install. Make a backup first.

The OP of the sound mod I linked has other versions of V4A. They may be older versions or original theme. Don't recall specifics but I think they're still available. You may need to restore a stock sound backup if flashing another sound mod.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] AndyB588:
I was thinking it was an older version.. But i haven't had my morning coffee yet. And even if it was an older version if it sounds good, I should be happy. But im one of those suckers that'll waste way to much time trying to make the latest and greatest work before finally realizing the old one was just fine. [emoji46] [emoji16] [emoji57]

Strangely enough so far Atmos sounds allot better on its own than V4A does. I didn't like Atmos previously. But I've got some tweaking to do still.

Did you installed Wanam's Xposed module btw?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] joetarney:
Not sure, I may have. I don't remember.

What does that do and I am assuming it messes things up.

How would I fix this?

Thanks

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] joetarney:

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] radjay:
Had same problems cured with new battery. I bought the zero lemon. It is great, but weighs alot & is huge
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] fredgar75:
It was discussed earlier in the thread. You may want to read back a little bit and see if it was resolved
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
Dolby Atmos is implemented best I've seen yet on [MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] sound mod thread I linked earlier and recommended. A lot of sound mods I tried before this had an annoying residual audio repeat when skipping tracks or repeating track.

So I do find less need of the multitude of options that the advanced UI mode settings of V4A provides.

Headset V4A settings I find I cannot do without are viper clarity and output gain. I enable Clarity, select Natural at 10 dB level. Using the output gain near bottom of headset settings options to limit gain allows Dolby Atmos to have its Volume Leveler and Surround Visualizer options for music enabled always.

I'm sure there are other things that V4A still does by being enabled. Can't do without V4A. Among it's many accolades is customizing sound to individual headset and listening.

If you have an account with Sprint, you should be able to order the Samsung Battery Pack. Last I checked, it was $24.99, with free shipping. It includes a new, Samsung OEM battery, an external charger, and a plastic case to carry a battery. The external charger is a "box" you put your battery in to charge. You have to plug your own charger into it. Of course you can get non-OEM batteries on eBay or Amazon. Some people have mentioned Anker batteries. I can't speak to how good their Note 4 batteries are, but the replacement battery I got for my MacBook Pro is fine.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] redrob820:
Rom is still running good with the exception of the Reboot when you enter the wrong pattern. My phone died last night, battery down to Zero, and the led stayed lit so I pulled the battery. I charged it to 100 then powered on. I died in inverted color mode. I entered the wrong pattern upon Reboot and i got a wrong pattern entered message. I entered the right pattern after this and the phone opened without issue. No Reboot, i tried unlocking again with wrong pattern entered in inverted color mod and it rebooted twice.

Not sure if anyone has been able to get Tx a log when the Reboot hits. Thanks in advance for any input.

Also I don't have any mods installed with a clean install per op.

TouchWizHome2016 Launcher swipe glitch has been solved

I just wanted to let everybody here know that I took some time today to focus on the main issue which is the launcher swipe glitch and I figured out the problem. It's a simple fix. It just took me a little while to figure it out. So you can breathe a sigh a relief. A flashable fix will be coming tonight. The fix is now live! Look for it in OP #2 :good:

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] raeravenheart:
any ideas as to why i am not recieving 4g signal at all?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] fredgar75:
Check your network settings and APN.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] raeravenheart:
APN is the default sprint lte one, its not allowing me to add a new one as it dosent show up after save, mobile network type is atomatic, out of curiosity i odind back to stock pj1, and got full lte as usual, redid all the prl and profil updates, and reflashed twrp and rom, back to being stuck on 3g
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] fredgar75:
That is strange. I didn't have that issue on this rom. How strong is your 4g signal while on stock pj1?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] raeravenheart:
Generally quite strong
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
If you are using this rom on a sprint N4 on the Sprint network here in the states then it will automatically pickup LTE signal if it's available. In my home i have to go upstairs to get LTE and downstairs it usually stays on 3G. So it does switch back and forth without a problem from my usage. Have you done any edits or mods since flashing UN7 ROM? check your apn and see which one is currently being used. Go to Settings|Connections|Mobile networks|Access Point Names and you the current active apn will be selected. Sprint's LTE will be "APN2 LTE internet". Sprint's 3G will be "APN2 EHRPD internet". Also check your roaming settings even though the defaults should be fine. If you have edited csc or flashed xposed framework this could possibly cause issues. If not then I thinksomething is going on. You might consider Sprint is working on the towers in your area. This happens all the time in places all over the country. If you are running the rom in it's original form with no modifications or edits then this is a very odd situation. Let us know what you come up with.

Hey guys I'm having another issue now. I will not receive Text messages consistently. It seems as though maybe the phone won't wake when receiving a message. If I'm using it the message will show up instantly. If it's sleeping I won't get the message till I unlock the phone and open the message contact who sent the message, then they will all come pouring in. I don't believe it is a Sprint issue because they come through timely when phone is awake and the wife receives my texts quickly.

No mods installed using the kernal that comes when you flash this Rom. Any help will be appreciated. I love this Rom and don't want to go back to moar.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
Do you have app power monitor enabled? Reading the information provided and knowing it's inherent practice to not allow apps to receive push notifications, I find no need for it. Check its status by opening Smart Manager from app drawer, select battery icon, you'll see app per monitor. I'd suggest disabling it so you're not continually having to reenable apps that get added to list.

App power monitor freezes apps on its own but Android doze is still available on next battery screen. Press battery usage tab on same screen and then the 3 dot menu button and select optimize battery usage to adjust doze for apps that don't want Android doze putting to sleep. Android doze doesn't prevent apps from waking when receiving push notifications so it's easier to manage.

I don't know why Samsung thinks we need to supplement doze but it's a poor implementation, IMO. Maybe it works for some users but I find it problematic; needs constant attention when enabled unless I've missed something.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] doubledragon5:
A lost of anti virus software will do that, when it comes to custom roms. I have had that in the past.. Best bet get rid of AVG, they have gone down hill since when they first came out.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] asapfappy:
I ordered an Anker replacement battery off Amazon, just received it a couple hours ago. I put the battery into my phone but the phone was still unable to turn on. No response with plugging in the USB cable either. Sad to say that my Note 4 is likely done. I didn't use it as my daily driver and do have a backup phone so it's not a big deal but it sucks to have such a great device die on me out of nowhere.

Thanks for all your help and and input guys.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] redrob820:
Ok on the battery tab within that menu messages was checked so I disabled it. I will see if I get messages as they are sent. I was also told by several people that they tried to call me but my phone either went straight to vm or rang once then to vm. I don't have any log off a missed call or notification anywhere. That's why I was thinking it may have been a waking issue. Thank you for the info, I'll report back. Also power monitor was not enabled.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] smarcin:
Sorry to hear it. I really love my N4. I have bought a couple of them off of Craigslist, one for as cheap as $200. I don't know if that's a possibility for you.

You unchecked messaging in battery tab menu or battery usage tab menu?

Just want to make we're talking about same battery optimization menu because they're not the same in behavior and messaging shouldn't have to be excluded from android doze.

Interested to know if you still have to exclude from android doze when Samsung doze is disabled. If you uncheck from Samsung doze, it could possibly check it again as recreate the same issue. See illustrations for confirmation.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
Maybe you're having the same issue I've had before? My phone had annoying ongoing intermittent caller loss or distortion that didn't seem to have a solution.

Solution may have been twofold for me: the Mic holes may have residual glue blocking ports from assembly process; mine did. Gently clearing after comparing openings of the three Mic holes probing with a pin to get a feel before forcing issue. Being careful with depth; probing first is what convinced me there was partial blockage. Removed it but didn't fully resolve the intermittent issue.

The main issue was the phone case. Cases with flimsy or loose fit around USB port effect the Mic function. I would also notice my voice repeating as caller spoke or paused in a conversation. Some of that could be the connection but since I attributed directly to case. Need a tight fitting case around the USB and all Mic ports. Started weeding through suspect cases.

Best fitting case I've found so far is the Speck Candy Shell. Got it in white because the black was rated dull and shows micro scratches badly. I've had good results with Spigen as well.

Annoying when caller can't hear you. But no problems with this ROM. Those issues were finally resolved for me as described as best I can recall. Haven't seen them again for good long while.

im still trying to figure out why im not recieving LTE signal at all
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] doubledragon5:
Try this, but step 4 use the firmware required for this rom.

1) If coming from another rom, do a factory reset 3 times first.

2) Wipe cache dalvik cache, system data next 3 times

3) Format data 3 times

4) Odin full stock tar OK1

5) run through the set up

6) install TWRP again, but do not root.

7) repeat steps 1 and 2 . Even if you did not install anything during set up.. I find that if you do not do this, you will have issues..

8)Flash rom and nothing else, keep stock kernel

9) When done do not reboot, pull battery and hold power button in for 20 secs

10) Put battery in and reboot.

11) Once it comes to the welcome screen, make sure you have at least the cell signal triangle showing. If no LTE Turn off WIFI, if LTE shows up for a sec, then goes away turn WIFI back on. If LTE shows again, and stays let it sit for 3 min before you complete your set up. During set up, do not connect to a WIFI network just yet.

12) Finish set up. If you get a "Google Play Services Stopped" ignore it..

13)Once you are all set up, go to play store first to see if it loads, it might take a couple of minutes.

14) Once play stores loads, close it and go to Setting> System Update and do a PRL update.. If it says no PRL update no worries your up to date. Do a Profile update, and after that you should be done.. You DONT have to do a Reactivation as sprint already knows you have the phone.
