[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] XORr0:
Personal experience + details from using this ROM

- I wanted to report that I was able to resolve the Firefox issue, and address multiple other issues that cropped up prior to implementing "the solution" after researching things... I hope others may find this information useful.

- when I originally posted about the firefox crash issues I was running LineageOS-14.1-20170709-UNOFFICIAL-trltespr from this thread's OP ( [MENTION=6839828]lilferraro[/MENTION]) + Magisk on my SM-N910P phone. I ended up running into a slew of issues:

A) Firefox would not load/open, it would crash 100% of the time

A.1) (Large) games also would not load/open, they would crash everytime I tried to open. Some examples: Shadowrun Returns: Dragonfall and Assassins Creed: Pirates

B) The GPS would NOT connect/track at all

B.1) Running the GPS Status app would always show "Looking for GPS location" no matter what GPS settings I would use, and it'd never get an actual "lock", per-se. Google Maps/Driving would NOT work for me via GPS,

PERIOD

.

C) I was able to READ from my external SDCard, but could NOT write to it, or delete files

D) The phone would get quite

hot

very often, ~82 degrees C was extremely common

- Doing my due diligence researching here on XDA forums I found the following that fixed most all of the above mentioned issues:

#1) the [ROM] [UNOFFICIAL] [7.1.2] LineageOS 14.1 [SM-N9100/F/G/P/R4/T/T3/V/W8] thread over on the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon) forum

- this thread has extensive instructions and many more posts which helped a TON with research

#2) [MENTION=6005084]ripee[/MENTION]'s bootloader+modem (BL_CP) downloads:

specifically the latest (at this time) for N910P; N910PVPS4DQG1_N910PVPS4DQG1.tar

#3) [MENTION=6005084]ripee[/MENTION]'s trltespr (DAILY!!) builds:

- I saw a couple locations where it was hinted at that Magisk causes issues with this ROM (I don't have the links right now, will try to scrounge them up)

- right now, I'm on [MENTION=6005084]ripee[/MENTION]'s bootloader+modem: N910PVPS4DQG1_N910PVPS4DQG1, his ROM build: lineage-14.1-20170902-UNOFFICIAL-trltespr, and open_gapps-arm-7.1-stock-20170902

-- And lastly, I am *NOT* running Magisk, at all, just the addonsu from Lineage Extras (which [MENTION=6005084]ripee[/MENTION] mentioned a few posts above that he puts this directly into his builds, but I still downloaded it and flashed it after I Clean Installed the ROM and opengapps).

-- Since I saw someone above ask, figured I'd add this information here: To enable Root Access for applications using the addonsu from Lineage Extras one just has to enable Developer Options (by going to Settings > About Phone > pressing "Build number" ~7 or 8 times), then goto Settings > Developer Options > Root Access > Apps and ADB.

-- From there, anytime an application asks for Root access, and you want to grant it = just hit Enable, then you can go back to Settings > Developer Options > Manage root accesses to view the applications you authorized root, also the Privacy Guard settings per application will tell this information too, after you've given the application Root access.

- With the setup I've posted here, the issues I mentioned at the start of this post =

A

through

D

are ALL RESOLVED.

- The only issue I've noticed, other then Fingerprint Scanner issues (which are listed as a bug), is that I CANNOT get Viper4Android v2.5.0.5 Audio Effects to install/work, even when installing the supposed V4A Nougat IO fix beforehand... I continue to get the IO error.

-- Of interest, back when I was running Magisk, but I had the firefox errors, Magisk had a module specifically for V4A that worked perfectly. so I'm a little bummed about that, but otherwise, this ROM really has been solid since I went the route I posted here.

Thanks again to the people who release this ROM: [MENTION=6005084]ripee[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6839828]lilferraro[/MENTION] :good: And thank you to all the posters here sharing information!

======================================================

- I do have a question; using [MENTION=6005084]ripee[/MENTION]'s daily Lineage 14.1 builds for the SM-N910P/trltespr,

is there a custom kernel we can use

?

-- If the answer to this question is yes, does anyone have any good suggestions for a custom kernel to run?

Peace.
