is build 9/2 still available for download? seems like the most stable from what everyone said and I wanted to flash to it along with the new bl/modem but didn't see it on ripee's page. sorry if it is somewhere and I just happened to miss it
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lilferraro:
Heres a new link since lineageos took down su addon from their webiste....

NOTE: IT SAYS ITS FOR S6 BUT I CONFIRMED IT WORKS WITH OUR DEVICE....

SUADDON LINK

I like supersu vs magisk cuz sone apps dont recognize magisk as root whereas all apps that require root support/recognize supersu....
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lilferraro:
Hey all just a status update for development on this rom.... I had a lot of life changes in the past 6 months and sorry that I havent been useful to you all but my laptop broke and even tho i bought a new computer I havent been able to afford internet so development has been at a hault until i can afford to putchase a cheap internet package. So for the time being maybe I can just make some changes to github and just have [MENTION=6005084]ripee[/MENTION] do the building since hes been a great help in doing so. Its just kinda hard to make these time consuming changes on github on my phone but anyways thx for all your support and i am still looking forward to developing oreo in the near future as im not quitting just hit a major speed bump for now. Thx again!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lbcoach3347:
Look forward to any help you can provide ideas. We have been having GPS issues on the latest builds it will not see satellites

trltespr blobs restored in my builds

Due to careless copying and pasting on my part in the roomservice.xml file, the SIM card wasn't being recognized on my 0318, 0319, or 0320 builds. My apologies for wasting your time in flashing builds with an obvious major flaw. If anyone would care to test my build from today, I'd appreciate it:

lineage-14.1-20170321-UNOFFICIAL-trltespr.zip

My thanks to Modtronix for bringing this to my attention.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Modtronix:
I'll give it a go when I get a chance.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] variance:
does fingerprint scanner and bluetooth work?

Tried so many AOSP roms that had one or neither working.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Modtronix:
Can't speak for the fingerprint scanner. Bluetooth has been flawless, better than stock in my experience so far.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lilferraro:
New build is up 03/24/17 LineageOs-14.1 Download
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] 1midniterider:
Thank you for this ROM. Just installed the 3/24/17 update. GPS is not working on either LTE or 3G. Also, still seeing the activation screen, although cellular data is working (LTE and 3G).

Edit:

The activation screen does not display on bootup if 3G is selected.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] skryte:
I second that. I can't get gps either. Also no LTE on boost that I can figure out ATM.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] coolwater22:

will I be able to play pokemon on this?

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] zRoNz:
try flashing this rom on my phone with QB3 baseband and bootloader, but i still have no signal with GSM sim card. :'(
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lilferraro:
Sorry you guys my sprint note 4 isn't activated so I can't test to see if LTE and 3g work.

Try this gsm fix by [MENTION=6195198]aaron74[/MENTION]

Download

-Test the download at your own risk. It was just an idea for QB3 baseband people.

I also haven't been able to update baseband cuz my micro USB on my note 4 won't connect to pc. It will only charge so I don't know how to update baseband/firmware without odin. So if anyone has any ideas like a legit stock plain rom so the Knox won't be tripped and I could do an OTA update to QB3. It would benefit this ROM all together so we're all on the same page. Thank you in advance.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] aaron74:
FYI, I don't know if this particular fix will be beneficial for you guys. I made it just for the stock QB3 Rom. It basically deletes a handful of sprint cdma apps, some CSC mods, and build.prop edits! Hope that helps you decide if it'll work for your particular needs! :)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Modtronix:
In the same boat only in reverse for is the comp that died. So qa1 is as close as I can get. Hopefully you get it sorted. Stupid question I'm sure but, you tried a few different cables right?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] AndyB588:
GPS Issues?

This is a kick ass rom! It was easy to install, it's stable and so far everything, plus Viper4Android (almost) works. My only issue is my GPS. It's response time is very slow and inaccurate.

I'm on baseband PK1. I was hopping I wouldn't need to go back and reinstall a factory unrooted Sprint rom first, but that always seems to fix strange modem/hardware issues.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue or knew of an easy fix? :)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] AndyB588:
I'm thinking the IR doesn't work?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] 1midniterider:
Just installed the 4/1 update and GPS is still not working on LTE or 3G.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ripee:
GPS is the least of your worries on 0401: voice calling doesn't work! I'm rebuilding but in the meantime roll back to 0331.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] 1midniterider:
Interesting. I made a call after installing. The volume was on the low side, but it worked.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ripee:
New 0401 build is up.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] 1midniterider:
Phone calls much louder now. But my phone is something strange. I saw my first mmc_read error. I thought it was the new Anker replacement battery.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] k4ever:
For those of you who switched back to the 9/02 version I posted, are you having microphone issues over Bluetooth? I am having a problem with that on my restored backup of 9/02.

I know it is listed as an issue on the main thread, but I don't recall encountering it when I first started using 9/02. Just want to rule out a bad restore...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lilferraro:
If you are using [MENTION=6005084]ripee[/MENTION] latest builds he needs to add this commit to his proprietary repo but change from trltexx to trltespr in the commit. I tested and confirmed that it works in my last build. That commit adds back the location.apk and permissions to the already available vendor files. And when making changes to the proprietary repo he needs to make sure that the device tree has those changes in the device-proprietary-files.txt and proprietary-files.txt files...... But yes that will solve the GPS issues.

Commit link
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ripee:
Don't tell me, tell [MENTION=6847876]_mone[/MENTION]. I can add this commit ot my trltevzw blobs, but he has access to the samsung-apq8084 account's trltexx, trltespr, and trltetmo blobs.

_mone has been making a lot of changes to the blobs and the result is that they're much different from what's in CMRemix.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] k4ever:
[MENTION=6005084]ripee[/MENTION], has [MENTION=6847876]_mone[/MENTION] made the changes lilferraro mentioned? When will they be incorporated into your builds?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ripee:
Why don't you ask _mone? Better yet, feel free to browse through the links at the bottom of the OP. All the code is there. As I wrote already, _mone has made significant changes to the blobs repo, so I don't know how to properly merge that commit because it deals with files that _mone has long since deleted. This is way over my head.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] k4ever:
OK... you seem a little tense :laugh:

I included [MENTION=6847876]_mone[/MENTION] to try and get the behind the scenes look at this. I readily admit that I have some interest in seeing this get fixed, after testing almost all of the builds since 9/02, but I it will take me way to long to learn to code just to fix this. I am at your mercy on this. I will try not to pry to much in the future...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ripee:
Requests to be spoon-fed information make me tense. You don't need to know how to code to figure out if a given commit has been merged, that's more of a clerical thing. I myself know nothing about developing Android, I can only answers questions based on my personal experience and expand upon the work of others to achieve similar goals. I can't even say I know how to build Android, only that I know how to follow instructions in doing so.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] k4ever:
I'm at a birthday party and you are trying to kill my vibe. Asking a question and requesting to be spoon fed information are two different things.

I don't like to get involved with something unless I plan on putting a lot of time and effort into it, and at the moment in my life I can't commit to another project. I am willing to test...but that is the extent that I will commit at this time. Maybe in the summer after Chem II and Physics...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jlove85:
Will this ROM ever be fully functional? I love aosp ROMs better than tw but dammmm so close to perfection.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Texas_Ace:
I guess this is my question having not read all 40 pages of this thread and not seeing any bug list in the OP.

What kind of issues does this rom have now? I am looking for a stable rom to put on the new to me Note 4 and enjoy until I can afford an S7 or S8. I also prefer AOSP roms.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jlove85:
from what i can recall from the last time i had it i think it was a bluetooth issue. either that or Sprints lte and data would not connect. either way. aosp roms rock. just need that stability in. I know apps like snapchat keeps crashing if recording video. but some day right?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Texas_Ace:
I see, this phone will most likely be loaned to my mom at some point so yeah, need it to be stable. Still rocking CM kitkat on my Samsung SII skyrocket, it has held up great for years. Looking for that same type of stability for this phone.

I suppose EmotionOS is the only thing that will come close from the last hours worth of reading?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] k4ever:
Since the new kernel was implemented (second week of September), the major issues with the ROM have been with non-functioning GPS and cellular data drops. Of course the issues may vary with your device. Most of us have settled on stable versions of the older builds (before the new kernel) until the GPS and data issues get addressed.

The only minor issues I am aware of are Magisk not working (causing boot loops, just use SuperSU if you root) and Substratum not being fully supported.

It is a great ROM. It is fast and stable, even with the issues listed. Just going through some growing pains right now that has a lot of us frustrated.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jlove85:
From my experience with emotion is that it's a great and fantastic ROM, is just that they're not really working on Sprint's version so I had a lot of problems such as Network and SMS not sending unless I toggle airplane mode. Very annoying when I reboot
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Texas_Ace:
Thanks for the info, rather then create a new thread for this simple question, what would be the general consensus for the most stable rom for the sprint note 4?

Stability is #1, my mom will be using this phone on a regular basis and will most likely inherit it later. Prefer AOSP, will be rooted, most likely use microG and prefer magisk. I like it as lean as possible to start and then add what I want from there. Also no Gaaps installed stock thus allowing microG to work.

I am not married to the latest 7.1, I am willing to accept older versions if they are more stable.

Are there any options that fit this? Or should I just accept going with a TW based rom?

Thanks for any tips, Anything to get me pointed at the right roms so I can put my limited research time to worthwhile use is great.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lbcoach3347:
Of your passing it down to mom. Then go with two. All you need is for her to be call with issues
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] anon1135:
does anyone know if there's a simple fix to get sms working after a restart besides toggling airplane mode? sometimes I'll forget to toggle and get a lot of texts sent back telling me they failed
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Texas_Ace:
I see most of these issues seem to be with the new kernel in September. How was stability and bugs prior to that? I would have zero problems going back a little ways to a stable version, I generally stay away from the latest nighties anyways.

What version would be recommended as the most stable and bug free?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] k4ever:
I'm using 8/25. Everything I use (apps/devices) works with it and I haven't had any (non-Substratum related) crashes or reboots with it. I was using 9/2 before, but it had Bluetooth microphone issues.

The problem your going to run into is getting a copy of a "good" build. They don't keep all of the builds in a repository. One of us users will have to share a copy with you.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Texas_Ace:
I noticed this when I started looking for an older version. Any chance someone has a good old version they could upload? I am sure more then just me would like to have access to it.

I just flashed the latest version to give it a try as I have a little time today. So bluetooth, GPS and data issues are what I should be looking for? Anything else to test?

Edit: Found the first problem, the camera will not take videos.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lbcoach3347:
Field that with snapdragon camera. If you pm I can send to you
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] k4ever:
You might want to send a link to 8/25 also...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] anon1135:
8/25 build more stable than 9/2? I'll also revert back to that if someone uploads it lol
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] k4ever:
If 9/2 is working for you I would stay with it. That being said, I had Bluetooth microphone issues with 9/2 which is why I switched to 8/25. It was recommended by lbcoach3347..
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jlove85:
How and what happened to the native call recording? None of the xposed mods are working with nougat :( I really don't like the apps btw
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] themirrorstruth:
Going back thru 20 or so pages of this, looks like 9/2 is most stable, but still have to toggle airplane to get SMS?

Where can we get 9/2 build?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] anon1135:
[MENTION=3788977]themirrorstruth[/MENTION]

some have said 8/25 is the new stable version. also I think the airplane toggle has been a common problem in most aosp roms right?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] k4ever:
Best if you use 8/25. 9/2 has problems with the microphone over Bluetooth...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] themirrorstruth:
I have no use use for Bluetooth.

I haven't tried this ROM yet. SMS toggle should only be after reboots correct? Been a while since I've been on AOSP
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] anon1135:
yeah only after reboot for me. I went ahead and tried 10/14 Bluetooth is now working on it. think I noticed data dropping earlier but not too sure. haven't tested mic and a few other things for problems yet either
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sephirothangel:
How are you guys getting data? For lineageOS I have to format data, so nothing exists, including the prl update I made while on stock.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] anon1135:
which build did u try? some might be unstable compared to others
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sephirothangel:
This should be the 09/02 build that was linked above.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] anon1135:
oh strange. how about the latest baseband/bootloader?

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634801134

from ripee himself
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Texas_Ace:
So just to check, we should flash the 8/28 or 9/2 rom and then the above zip after?

What does the baseband and bootloader fix/do?

I didn't seem to have any issues with the 8/25 and whatever baseband was on the phone but I also didn't have time to fully test it.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] anon1135:
I actually don't know what they do but couldn't think of any other ideas when someone said their data wasn't working. it can be flashed with Odin on pc and most like being up to date with things for stability or other improvements but if something is already fine there might not be a reason to change it
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sephirothangel:
Yeah, I'm really curious what the reason is. Hopefully ripee can let us know.

From how I understand it, I have to prl and profile update before I move from stock to a custom rom not based on stock. Hence dirty flashing without factory reset. But it seems as if I need to do factory reset in order to get onto lineageOS.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ripee:
You need to clean install any custom rom, coming from stock, due to the user data (account data, settings, etc.) on the Data partition being incompatible with what gets put there by the custom rom.

The bootloader does what its named implies: it loads the operating system so that it boots. The modem contain the internationally standardized code that allows your phone to connect to global cellular networks. This code connects to the RIL code in the rom, giving the rom control over network communications and settings. It's a good idea to keep both up to date, regardless of how old they are relative to the rom build you're flashing, otherwise you could have booting and connection stability problems. Samsung (and it's OEM's) update both more or less regularly, but since the Note 4 is too old to get system updates, bootloader and modem updates are only included with security updates. Because all custom roms receive the latest security updates, it's a good idea to update the bootloader and modem as well. Take note that it doesn't matter from which carrier or country the bootloader or modem comes from. Whatever differences in the versions that Samsung publishes is only due to the OEM's/carriers updating their own stock images on their own schedules, which may or may not be as consistent as Samsung's own updates for the generic variants, ie. trltexx.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sephirothangel:
Huh, that's interesting. So basically it's because the rom itself doesn't have the control for network communication, so either we have it already (via dirty flashing that I've done on other devices/roms), or we add it by flashing the modem on top? Do I have that right?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] themirrorstruth:
Zip file avail for baseband /modem?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] anon1135:
thx good explanation
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Texas_Ace:
Tar actually, comes up as winrar archive and didn't think to check what it really was. ;)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jlove85:
How do you fix the data dropping issue then? It has to something in the ROM because I reverted back to pkg and even qg1 and it still drops on certain apps and times.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] anon1135:
if clean flashes and latest updates don't help we might have to wait for a new build or go back to the same one everyone is on 8/25 and 9/2 but the second is reported to have a bluetooth mic problem that will bother some. I haven't seen 8/25 uploaded and it's gone from ripee's download page but 9/2 is shared here by someone else a few posts back
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] digit12345:

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ripee:
My unified trlte builds starting from today!

trlte build 1020 is up right now, see the new link in the OP and my signature. Until _mone fine-tunes the unified code, I will continue to build for the 4 model-specific variants alongside the unified build.

*PLEASE NOTE that the unified builds contain the new kernel.

AFH Downloader Flid: 224936
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] anon1135:
will test I think the main fix people are looking for is no data drop
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ripee:
Transitioning to trlte earlier than anticipated!

I underestimated the disk size of my build environment, which isn't large enough to be able to compile 5 consecutive trlte* builds without risking building errors. Since all future development will focus on trlte anyway, I've decided to delete my trltespr folder from my AFH account. I will, however, upload my trltespr build 1021, as well as build 0825, to the Downloads tab of the main thread, for those interested.

As I wrote yesterday, for those of you who use the AFH Downloader app to download new builds, the my trlte folder's Flid is: 224936

*IMPORTANT NOTE: those of you who keep up with bootloader and modem updates, you still need to flash the appropriate ones that correspond to variant. Only the unified LineageOS builds is by definition multivariant.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] k4ever:
...and working GPS!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lilferraro:
Understood... I was stating what got GPS working for me... Thx again for all your help.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] len207:
I downloaded the Sprint version from Ripee's sig and installed on my n910p. Initial attempt could not get past boot animation with Magisk 1.4 (I guess a common issue). Reinstalled with just ROM & GAPPS and that went well. The cell connected with Sprint and an APN change got 4G. Wifi connected without a problem. My applications installed fine and built in root worked as expected. I didn't do much more, made a nandroid and restored the previous setup. I guess I'll revisit the setup soon but do you recommend updating with the unified version?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ripee:
No, stick with trltespr for now as trlte is still at the experimental stage. Which Sprint APN settings gave you 4G that the built-in ones didn't? Just curious. I'm just glad you were able to edit/add APN settings. :D

By the way, NO DATA DROPS STARTING FROM 1024!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lbcoach3347:
That's awesome. Is gps working
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] len207:
I use a relatively new MVNO of Sprint called Tello USA. I guess they have been in England for some time. They use a little bit different proxy (n.mi.ispsn) with everything else the same as other Sprint MVNO's. On stock it is called "APN2 LTE Internet". '

---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 AM ----------

This is to correct an earlier comment made in error (too many phones & ROMS going on I guess). GPS is as dead as a doornail! No satellites seen or used and of course no lock.

BTW I just installed the latest build today (20171025) with no improvements in GPS...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lbcoach3347:
Thank you for the info
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] k4ever:
I can confirm that GPS is still not working as of the 10/24 build. :crying:
