[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] alluringreality:
I think if you switched to a custom rom that doesn't use the usual update, such as Pure Nexus, that would probably do it. Personally I have started using FlashFire just to make OTA updates on the stock rooted Pixel easier. The only other option I've ran across is the following. The link keeps my phone awake and doesn't allow deep sleep, so I have no idea if the following actually works or not, since I didn't use it long enough to get to a new update. One poster indicated their firewall was still blocking traffic after making the change, yet I don't know if updating a phone and then making the change would work or not, assuming someone was okay with their phone not going into deep sleep.

Ah, thanks! I think I'll use FlashFire to update whenever one is released. I looked at purenexus but wasn't really liking it. Thanks again!

Check this page out.

My phone chewed nearly 20gb of mobile data in 3 days trying to constantly update.

I scoured for an additional 2 days for a solution and this is the only one that has worked!

GSM ROM!

Gsm Rom:

Fyi, If your using this phone for gsm, I found its just easier and better to install a Tmobile rom. I don't believe you need a data fix with it. (Sorry it's been awhile). Never use a tmobile odin firmware though!

You can also install any other international rom but you will need a data fix and kernel!

Gsm fix patch from old rom: (Not needed for above rom! Only to flash over sprint rom in post 1)

Rom control!

A great Dev [MENTION=6947871]ROBERT CM[/MENTION] made a Rom Control for our stock roms.

Goto his Thread below to Download and don't forget to Thank him and leave him a reply!

Here's his Main Thread!

You must Download both zips and flash consecutively.

Setup Rom first!, before flashing!

Thank you, & Enjoy!

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ROBERT CM:
This weekend update my rom control and mods

I trying adapted more mods for n4 stock

This motivate me a development and keep it up and I know what more more persons and devs enjoy of this mod :laugh:
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] aaron74:
​

Thanks bro. I know the note 4 is dying out with devs. So it's always nice to have people keeping us alive. Take your time bro, i know how it is!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Aloupha:
I flashed, and this is what I came encountered:

I was not rooted, so I Odin flashed TWRP, wiped everything but SD Card (Deleted SD Card Android folder) and flashed ROM followed by Rom Control 1, then 1.1.

First thing I noticed is that the top bar (not sure of its proper name) was missing, and when I swiped down, nothing happens. So, I cannot see any type of activity (i.e. new email icons, new text messages icons, notices, etc..). With that, I could not see my battery level, time, date, etc...

Second, I did not have root. I flashed SuperSU via twrp and still did not have root.

Third, when pressing the Power button to awake the device, it takes a few seconds to turn on. At first, I thought it wasn't turning on, so I kept pressing the power button... so the phone screen would not turn on. I eventually found out that I needed to wait a few seconds after pressing it the first time.

Fourth, pressing the "Recent" app button does nothing.

At this point, I think I am going to re-flash but without ROM control to see if these problems still exist. I'll report back.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] aaron74:
Yes, i had that problem with Rom Control once but it was on a N7 port rom.

When i last tested this rom control with stock. It worked but i also already had the rom up and running. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

Thanks for reporting. Please let me know how just my rom works without it.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Aloupha:
I just re-flashed. Other than root, all the other issues are gone.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] aaron74:
You have no root?

I'll have to pull file and check. I must have rushed.

Thanks for letting me know.

Also check the SU Hide app? Maybe that's messing it up. I've never used it before but included it, as some are interested in it.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] aaron74:
For anyone reading this,

I just verified results, Yes we must not flash rom and rom control at same time. Or no status bar.

Flash Rom, reboot, setup. Then flash Rom control.

All good! Reboot will take a bit, dalvik gets cleared.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] reekotubbs:
Which download is bootloader?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
Firmware=bootloader.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Aloupha:
What about the root issue, did you get to the bottom of it?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] aaron74:
Try download again. I fixed. Everything should work no problems. Even rom control. But you must flash and setup rom first before you flash rom control.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cglinks:
First of all thanks for providing this firmware.

I'm having trouble with the GSM Data Fix, every time I apply it when the phone reboots I get a few errors. First error is the com.android.phone process constantly crashing and the second error is the IMS Service constantly crashing.

Any suggestions to fix this?

Thanks in advance.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bleichtman:
Is there any custom kernel you'd recommend, or stick with roms kernel.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] aaron74:
I will fix. I was trying something new. But didn't work and forgot to take files out.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] aaron74:
You could probably use any kernel for your device. Ram or Beast mode. You'll just have to root after.

I just prefer stock.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] aaron74:
Sorry for that. I fixed. Reflash Rom and fix.

Ps. If you use Gsm. I might release a stock rom here that I started using on my phone. It's just a Tmobile rom, edited a little, to remove some Tmobile stuff. Works great!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cglinks:
No need to apologise. I've tried the new version but unfortunately the Contacts app crashes every time you try to launch Contacts or Phone. Otherwise it's working great. If you could provide the GSM stock ROM that would be brilliant as I'm only using GSM/LTE on the phone and not CDMA.

Thanks.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MarcoRaNote3:
Which ROM should I download now? The fixed ROM which is 1.8 GB or the 2GB md5 file?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kaos420:
Anyone know why that text is there? And no emergency mode is off. Clean install firmware modem full wipe. I have that. With rom control. Also does anyone know of a xposed module to change color of the toggles. Rom control doesn't do it?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] aaron74:
Added GSM Rom. Post 2.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] aaron74:
Posted, try it, let me know.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] aaron74:
The fixed Rom. Don't understand what you mean buy 2gb md5.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] aaron74:
Sorry but i have no idea why that states that. That's odd.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] LordLugard:
Under Flashing Instructions, there's an android host link that links to a hefty tar file, (N910PVPS4DQC1_N910PSPT4DQC1_N910PVPS4DQC1_HOME.tar.md5). That's what he's referring to.

P.S, it's actually ~3.8GB.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] aaron74:
Oh ok, I see. That's the stock Rom firmware, in case you need to update your phone.

That's if you need to update your phone with Odin, to get on QC1 bootloader and modem. Plus i also provided just the bootloader and modem files, if you wish to do it that way.

But besides that, my Rom is the zip file listed down in the download section.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] joshk1025:
When I try to flash this with TWRP, I get the error "symlink: some symlinks failed. Update process ended with ERROR: 7"

I flashed the complete stock rom first to make sure things were properly prepared (coming from lineageOS 14). Any ideas what the problem could be? I saw that it may be in the cache being mounted by TWRP, so I unchecked the cache mount.

ROM Features

Mods added: CSC edits, Hotspot mod, Only Once/Always, All apps multi window, remove permanent notification, remove USB plug/unplug awake screen, removed high volume notice, added Advanced Power Menu.

I don't have a hotspot button? Any suggestions?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
Xposed framework installed?

Also, @ anyone running stock Note 4 rooted, can you check your /system/lib/modules folder for this file, please?

: /system/lib/modules/modules.dep.bb

You can also check for /system/csc/feature.xml or features.xml. If you're using Xposed and a Xposed module like XTouch or Firefds, that may be why you lose the hotspot toggle and hotspot in Settings. Causes a known csc conflict on Note 4.

I may have a boot script for you to solve some problematic files if both apply. Or if even only the module applies, could be useful to automatically avoid issues with loss of hotspot and slow screen wake for unlock.

I confirmed XTouch uses feature.xml but didn't confirm what Firefds uses. Lollipop used features.xml, IIRC. So feedback from multiple users would helpful. I made the script for UN7 port in this forum. But maybe it's useful for stock too?

For those not being my feedback and wanting to experiment at own risk, the original script is here:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634775626

I've been using it on UN7 with XTouch without issue and less problematic with faster screen unlock. Reboots take of the issues so far, for my testing.

Edit: the download is not a recovery flashable zip but script is zipped along with a ReadMe.txt file open as text to follow install instructions. Text includes a brief description of use intent as well.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] aaron74:
Sorry everyone. I've been away from online life. Been too busy with work. Plus my note4 been screwed up screen. Will try to get back with you all.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Biodebacle:
firefds

Yeah i sure it was firefds that caused the hotspot to disappear, i didnt have either of those in my system files so i just wiped it and reinstalled this rom and it was back on there. the only reason i used firefds is cause it was the only thing that i found that would remove the carrier (sprint) from the top, anyone have another solution to that works with this rom? I like to use xposed hence the deodexed rom ;)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
Flat Style Bar Indicators Xposed module can do that too.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Biodebacle:
Reinstalled xposed 87.1 custom by wanam and flat style are both good so far, still trying to get the carrier off and the giant N at the top without losing hotspot again, you know what that N is anyway? lol just stupid things, trying to build my daily driver that i dont have to service for awhile, all n all great running rom!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
You should be able to hide carrier. It's as simple as tap carrier and hide with the toggle or minimize it's dpi footprint and make its place farthest right on left side. (That's how I hid VPN; VPN was intermittent with hide toggle).

IDK what the big N is? If it has a corresponding notification in pull-down, pull down the notification and long press to see what it is.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] HaMMeR-MaN:
[MENTION=6195198]aaron74[/MENTION] So I assume I can just flash the GSM rom in post #2 (tmobile) on my N910P sprint phone ? I odin'd the DQC1 firmware and modem then flashed the rom and waited for the rom to boot but it never came up to the welcome screen. Waited for a 1/2 hour but just was hanging and the phone was getting quite warm so I aborted. Any suggestions ?

The phone is carrier unlocked :)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] aaron74:
Sorry but I have no time to mess with roms right now. Maybe I changed something I shouldn't have. When I get time, I'll pull the exact Rom that I have running on my wife's phone and post it.

Thanks for letting me know!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Aloupha:
Has anyone managed to do Screen Mirroring with this rom? I have not been able to... I tried it with two TVs. It connects then disconnects. I have two tablets and another android phone, and they had no issue doing screen mirroring, so I am thinking the issue may be with the rom.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Aloupha:
So, I went back to stock to get the latest update. Screen mirroring works now.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] carlosggb:
The N is nfc, turn it off via the toogle on the noti panel
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] monson987:
That is odd. I'm getting the same thing too. Fresh install and everything, like you. Let me know if you ended up stumbling across a solution. (Which volume control is that, anyway?)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kaos420:
ya i flashed a different rom. been on n7 since no one could tell me how to fix this.

Odin-ed stock QC1 and completed setup without a sim card. Downloaded and installed 3 ota's to version QF1. Odin-ed twrp 3.1.1 then Rebooted into recovery to install deodexed QC1. Rebooted to complete setup, still without a sim card. Rebooted into recovery and installed ROM control 1.0 then 1.1 before rebooting. So far all is outstandingly well. I will need to get a micro sim card (my s7 sim is a nano) to test phone and SMS.

Happy all is well for you!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gdecker:
Ended up using a nano to micro sim adapter but needed to do an online chat to transfer from my s7 to the note. So far everything is good except all I can get is 3g data. Maybe something to do with flashing without a sim?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] aaron74:
Are you using GSM service? Because you won't get LTE. But you should get hspa+. Goto settings, about device, status, Sim info, and there it'll show your network speed. But the icon on top will only show 3g. That's just the way Sprint is setup to show. Mine shows LTE because I'm a n910t.

But if your Sprint, then I don't know. Maybe something with activation.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gdecker:
Sorry, thanks for your response. Been working and busy working on the car. No, I'm not using GSM. I moved my sim back to my S7 for the time being. I'm thinking about starting from scratch with the sim activated on the note through out.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] m_eagle_67:
Hi Aaron74,

There is a new OTA QF1 that I just recently updated my phone to and just rooted. Would installing your rom downgrade the firmware or keep it current?

Thanks for your work on the stock rom.

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 PM ----------

Or does anyone know what the difference between QC1 and QF1? I know there are some security improvements. Also, can you do update after installing QC1 or will I get all the bloatware back?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gdecker:
My data network issues were not related to this build but rather due to my S7 sim not being totally compatible with the Note 4. With a nano to micro adapter phone service was okay but sporadic 3g was the best I could get. Onward, started from scratch with a free micro sim from the Sprint store. Flashed stock QC1 and did a complete setup. Downloaded all software updates up to QG1. Flashed TWRP 2.87 (I like the material theme for this version) then followed the OP. The build of course is QC1 but now the software and broadband is QG1. Everything is working awesomely. Thank you [MENTION=6195198]aaron74[/MENTION] and all the contributors of this build. Thanks for keeping the rooted Note 4 alive!!!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] aaron74:
In near future, I'll try to bring newer stock rom here! Too busy right now.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gdecker:
Please I hope you don't think that this was any kind of a critic. This release is (was) a very good and stable ROM to build on. My point is that those that wonder if they have later stock releases if this will work and I say absolutely, what are you waiting for? Nothing ventured no air medals.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] aaron74:
Yes, I understand. Thank you!

I know most people like the port roms, but I made these for people wanting stock base. Also I'm very beginning into dev learning, and these stock roms are easy to make.

My roms will never be as customised as my mentors and masters like [MENTION=4904853]carlosggb[/MENTION] and others. But I'd like to kick it up a notch, and maybe add little more customs and possibly my own Rom Control.

Who knows, time will tell. Right now, I'm just glad and lucky that I can keep working with this device. See attached pic and you'll understand! :crying:

Thanks for your feedback!

How do I get to QG1?

I installed the stock ROM, firmware (bootloader), and modem as well as performed a factory reset. Every time I tap "Download updates manually" from the "About Device" menu, I get "Processing failed". :mad:

Thanks!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gdecker:
Try downloading the latest qf1 ROM from sammobile. I did this and was able to the get qg1 update. Then continue with the OP.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Mr McGibblets:
Thank you!

Was on QC1 + DeBloated, DeOdexed N910PVPS4DQC1 ROM. I had already installed and configured all my apps, etc. using Titanium Backup.

First thing I did was reboot into TWRP Recovery to back up all partitions to external microSD Card.

Downloaded stock QF1 ROM from: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120751646

Installed it from my PC to my phone using Odin (v3.12.4_4).

Once booted, ran Settings > System Update > Download Updates Manually which forced OTA updates to QG1.

Used Odin to install TWRP Recovery 3.0.2.0.

Rebooted to TWRP custom recovery. Did "Advanced Wipe" options and wiped Dalvick-Cache, System, Data, and Cache. I did NOT delete the "/Android" directory from Internal storage or SD card!

Install the DeBloated, DeOdexed N910PVPS4D

QC1

ROM again.

Rebooted.

The initial boot process took around 12 minutes. (The phone did reboot once from SuperSU.)

Reached the setup wizard and I proceeded as usual and setup my phone.

Once phone was setup, confirmed Software Version and Baseband are both "QG1" while Build is still at "QC1".

Rebooted into TWRP. Restored all partitions except "Boot" and "Recovery".

Rebooted.

After a few minutes of the "SAMSUNG" logo pulsing on & off, my phone booted fine.

Made a phone call and sent a text. Both fine. Google Play working. Updating apps just fine. GMail receiving new messages, no problem. SuperSu is fine. Root is still there. All looking good!

"About Device" still shows Software and Baseband at "QG1" with Build at "QC1".

All of this took a few hours, but I think it was worth it. :highfive:
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gdecker:
High five indeed! Thanks for the play by play, others will benefit. Sometimes starting at square one is the way to go, not to mention a little bit fun. :)
