[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] fastguy:
I tried this the A700 thinking it can be lighter than Norma. I'm getting around 4h SoT with my use. I have a 3 month old battery.

Google Photos is working properly for me. syncing is also OK for new pictures and showing old ones as well.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] wahidiut:
A7 is lighter, AOD works & battery percentage changes. Less bloats & a bit better battery life. Otherwise same as other awesome [MENTION=5755504]star53[/MENTION] ports.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] O's:
Any experience with Astra Dream? How does it compare to A700? And how does A700 compare to ApoX Final? Ready to see what's new since MagMa 2.0.1 but hoping someone can share some comparisons.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] shonkin:
Haven't tried Astra Dream (can't remember now just why I didn't)... but I have to say that ApoX Final is very, very good. I'm still using the A700 but frankly don't see much different betwixt it and ApoX... and since I have a backup of my ApoX Final with many more subtle tweaks than I've yet done with A700, I may just go back to it soon. Though sometime soon I'm being more or less forced to go to a Note 5 on Sprint with that fast but problematic Exynos chip... problematic in that there really isnt a lot of great rom stuff for it compared to the Note 4. But I guess that's *my* problem. Sigh.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] O's:
Great to know. Why the forced move to N5? I'm still not ready to move to a fixed battery, so I sympathize there, and about Sprint (unless you're in an area where they have great coverage, but maybe the T-Mo merger will fix that).
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ginopico:
The problem I have with a700 and Apocalipse shutdown "in the bag or pocket" of the phone also happens shaking for a while... Could it be due to a ROM interference with the motion sensors (proximity, gyroscope... etc...)?

On A700 I had trouble with WiFi hotspot. It was serving the AP to other clients and they were able to connect to my AP,, but they not able to access Internet.

A700 bugreport
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] fastguy:
Hi Shonkin so what's your conclusion? ApoX or A700?

For me A700 is still good but the hotspot didn't work, wondering if it's due to the many packages I disabled. Otherwise it's good. (Patch level August 2017)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] shonkin:
I go with ApocalypseX. I think it is the best ported rom for our phones. However, at present I'm experimenting with crDroid, a from the ground up Oreo version that works quite well on my N910T phone. It doesn't have an s-pen app, but I haven't looked around yet to see if there's one that works for it. Just playin'... this phone will soon become my secondary "retired" phone but I do enjoy seeing how long the older hardware can be kept rolling. But again, the ApoX rom is to me the cadillac.... it does just about everything anyone running a Samsung-based rom could want. And annoyingly, it probably will be nicer than the stock rom on the Sprint Note 5 our company is pushing my way. So it goes.

Nougat-style Notifications and small MODs for Star's translated Norma V26

UPDATE: Had to re-upload because the framework used in the first zip was an outdated one lol. Was using the first ever Norma V26 that Star put out. If you didn't see this message when downloading, download it again xD

Hey guys!

So I decided to change ROM's just yesterday and I gotta say, it was a tough choice but I ended up picking Norma V26 translated by Star (and tried my hands on the new H-Vitamin kernel, this stuff is amazing!)

The good thing about learning the Android platform is that you can MOD anything to your liking, so I modded a few things to apply some stuff that I like :D

And with permission from [MENTION=5755504]star53[/MENTION] I will share these with you guys in case you are interested and like how it looks :)

Before that, let's get in to some warnings c:

Please if anyone is going to try this, be aware that while I am confident about my work and I've flashed and tested it myself, there could always be something that goes wrong, so please create a proper backup before flashing this ZIP!

Also, I used Norma V26 framework files and star's stuff to add these MODs, so please ONLY flash if you are in norma V26 translated by Star53

I don't know if it would be compatible with Norma translated by Petbede and even if it was, I don't think Star would be very happy to find his Star ROM control on other ROMs that are not his!

With that out of the way, here's the changes this ZIP will bring:

Nougat styled notifications

Brightness bar in first swipe

Fixed the data usage on first swipe, it used to be always present even if you turned it off

Added a toggle to add/remove multi-user

Added toggle to activate/deactivate quick swipe from the right corner

Added volume rocker, change song tracks with the volume buttons while the screen is off

While I wasn't able to change the selection of Wallpapers, I was able to change the default wallpaper, however

You can download the ZIP: HERE

Hit that thanks button if you like it, it really feels good when your work is appreciated and also give a thanks to the thread, Star does a great job maintaining this device alive!

Gotta say, the combination of Norma V26 and H-Vitamin kernel off a clean install, my device feels snappier than ever!

Screenshots:
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] O's:
Apparently someone provided an S-Pen Commander in that thread. Could you possibly try it and see if that actually works?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] wahidiut:
can you provide a download link for the new h-vitamin kernel? And it should work with star's A7 port, isn't it?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ShaDisNX255:
Here's the link:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76644380&postcount=244

The only small bug it has currently is that it tops off charging at 95%

Might get fixed soon hopefully, it should, in theory, work with all of Star's ROMs
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] fastguy:
Thanks. However I was using lineageos since a few months but Gps was locking very late (maybe fixed in latest) but worse is that Bluetooth was crashing from time to time, and LTE was not always stable.

Since crDroid is based on LineageOS, I guess I'll pass on it for the moment until (if ever) issues are sorted out (at least Bluetooth which is critical for me)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] D-Mak:
Do you have the black boot animation for the A700 v3.1?

Edit: I got it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] merc200k:
Nougat style notification working at star rom A700 v3.1 ???

Anyone test it?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ShaDisNX255:
Most likely not as I think it uses a different UI and framework, I don't know if [MENTION=5755504]star53[/MENTION] can confirm it?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] fastguy:
I tried the latest ApocalypseX but my Google contacts are not syncing. Anybody face this before?

I'm using the same gapps I used in A700. It says syncing but never finishing and never bringing any contacts.

Could it be due to Magick or Xposed?

Edit: looks like it was Xposed installed in Magisk. I removed it and now it's OK. I will check and see if it works after I try again

Is there any way to make fingerprint work on this rom, any 3th party app or something, please help...
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] jackulus:
I implemented workaround described in this ROM (opening post). It works, but remember you have to use third party apks to exploit it, also third party lock screen application.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] oqaab:
Something must be wrong with my eyes, I read the OP 10 times but still cant find the fingerprint lock fix part. Can you please point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] jackulus:
It cannot be true but it seems to be true, that I forgot to include link to the ROM (Race ROM), where you can find detailed instructions how to workaround fingerprints usage. It works perfectly in this masterpiece. The good news is your eyes are perfectly good.. :).

Here it is: https://xdaforums.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-30-03-2017-raceromn7-portn7-s8-apps-t3581199

From quite a few third party screen lock applications finally I sticked to Microsoft Next Locker (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.next).Here, I use system locker - don't use fingerprints to unlock.

This you should see after successful installation - screenshots:
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] oqaab:
Hahaha :D

Thanks for the link. You made my day. Really needed that FP lock fix :highfive:

ShaDIS MODs (cont...)

So, I decided to get in to modding again this beautiful Norma ROM to add a lot more options, more specifically, to color to one's taste ;)

Download here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=5862345805528039934

This includes all the MODs in the first post plus the following:

(previous changes):

Nougat styled notifications

Brightness bar in first swipe

Fixed the data usage on first swipe, it used to be always present even if you turned it off

Added a toggle to add/remove multi-user

Added toggle to activate/deactivate quick swipe from the right corner

Added volume rocker, change song tracks with the volume buttons while the screen is off

While I wasn't able to change the selection of Wallpapers, I was able to change the default wallpaper, however

(new changes):

-Full color changer support, color all texts, icons and backgrounds in the UI

-Notification text color changer added in RC

-Hide/Unhide QS tile text option added in RC

You can let your imagination go wild now :)

I really am not looking for donations (even though there is a huge orange button to donate to me :P)

I would really appreciate if you donated to Star instead if you are enjoying my MODs, he's a cool guy and has helped me learn like no other person

Thanks [MENTION=5755504]star53[/MENTION] :)

This rom is by default flashed with ramkernel_rc7right?, can you share your experiences whichone is better flashpoint or ram, or another.. and do i have to wipe data if i want to reflash kernel.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Raven_999:
Ram kernel imo is better. No need to wipe data when changing kernels, just dalvik cache.

Keep in mind to reflash root after the kernel change
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] mickraven1:
I igree , i tried before with flash.v4 it wasnt smooth like this, and battery life seems better too

---------- Post added at 08:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ----------

I flashed it on my apocalypsex... and i dont see starSettings anywhere, tryed to wipe dalvik&chache.. and reflash but no luck, plz help
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ShaDisNX255:
Read read read read and READ lol

It is not meant for ApocalypseX, it is meant for Star's translated Norma V26. I would recommend to re-flash the ROM without wiping /data
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] mickraven1:
i thought it works here aswell since u posted it on this thread
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ShaDisNX255:
Yes, but only because Star updates all his ROMs in this thread

I'm really surprised your phone booted up, actually! I've encountered Star Settings not showing up, but only when I learn that there are two different versions on priv-app so there may be hope that this works in Apocalypse too

So my advice if Star Settings is not showing up, look for the StarCustomSettings folder in system/priv-app folder and see if you can spot two apps there, you should delete 1
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] mickraven1:
Too bad i already reflashed apoX... if u test this let me know this rom will be awesome with that update
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] jackulus:
Hi. Got two questions, some of a few rema

ining after tuning this wonderful ROM by couple of weeks.

- handwriting recognition: as you can see on attached screenshots, I can see only four options in my Settings menu - two english language versions and two others barely recognisable for me. A suppose that corresponding files in the system data are these on the second screenshot. Any idea how to install or upload into system data other languages ? Is it a matter just of specific .dat file anybody can share ? I need polish language file... Or may be I mess sth during debloating... :-/

- system fonts: my system font directory is full of tts files but in Settings I can see and choose only a few. Plus option to buy some in Sammy store. Any idea why I can use all promised and phisically delivered in this ROM fonts ?

As the the thread - my room is ApocalypseX. As a language, of course, I have polish installed but you inspired me to one more check. I looked at Samsung keyboard which I don't use and there I installed additionally polish set. It helped on handwriting. Thanks for help ?. Any clue about inability access of additional fonts?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] star53:
if you are on Pro Apocalypse

Go Settings / Display / Font and Choose the font you want

....

[emoji116]Otherwise you can add this application

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] jackulus:
The thing is that I can't see all of additional fonts delivered by you with the ApoX. My Settings->Display->Fonts screen looks like on this screenshot below.

I can see only fonts installed as standalone applications, one of them is installed by me -> Flora. I suppose that SamsungSans is inbetween these installed fonts - I compared apk linked by you with this one inside ROM zip, they are the same. At the same time, system font directory is full of ttfs - they didn't vanish... So, what could be the culprit ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] HunterKiotori:
I've been reading from this thread, but i'm still having issues finding out exactly how many roms are in this thread, which is the most supported and update, and what exactly the differences are. so far these are what I have seen mentioned:

A700

Norma v26

Apocalypse Final

Magma

are these all from the same developer? Back in the day it was one thread per Rom, or at least the developer, so it's really confusing me as to what is going on.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] wahidiut:
a5 lite 2 & Batman pro are also from [MENTION=5755504]star53[/MENTION]. And yeah, from the same developer. And everyone is great.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] HunterKiotori:
But which one is the most recent one? I can't tell any differences from each other, other than names.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] wahidiut:
A7 is the most recent one. There ain't much difference between them. I am running A7 as my daily driver.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] megaequs:
Hi Mate, can you tell us something about the battery life of this A7 port, please? Or maybe post a recent battery statistic with SOT (screen on time)? And what kernel do you use? Does the phone gets hot while using?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] wahidiut:
Battery life decent. With extensive use i m getting 3-4 hours sot. Using greenify standby time is great. Rom is buttery smooth. No overheating issue here. I am using flashpoint v4 beta kernel.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] megaequs:
That sound's not good.... Did you try Norma Rom v26 (translated by star)? Most people say, it has a very good battery life, even the best compared to other MM roms. I am personally get back to Android Lollipop and with extensive use I am getting 7h SOT (if I don't play games).
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] wahidiut:
Stock lollipop or any custom rom? 7h SOT!!!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] megaequs:
No mate, I hate the stock Note 4 UI.... I am using a Note 5 port rom (with samsung theme support) from here on xda. It's Kyubi Rom SDX R2, and I am using it with AEL Kernel or Nameless Kernel, both give this great battery life results.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] wahidiut:
okk, i found the thread. now please tell me heavy debloated or light debloated? And which kernel for SM910V?

TIA.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] megaequs:
Oh, you have the 910V model.... I don't know how kyubi rom will work on it, because I have the 910F model. But multivariant of AEL Kernel should work on every model. I have installed SDX R2 light debloated. I know it's not the last and final one, but it's better then the last one. I tried them both. If you need more information or help, switch to the kyubi rom thread, We shouldnt talk here in ApocalypseX thread about it ;)

V5_beta.2 Test Report

Although V4 was unsuccessful, would boot loop blue plasma bootscreen, V5_beta.2 had no such problem- I used Philz Recovery.

I have N910F : using N910FXXS1DQC3_Bootloader_Modem.tar running Firmware 6.0.1

[1] WiFi = No issues, connected 1st time, stable and consistent

[2] Setup Wizard = No issues, connected 1st time, stable and consistent

[3] Samsung Account = No issues, connected 1st time, stable and consistent

[4] Google Account = No issues, connected 1st time, stable and consistent

[5] Touchwiz = No issues, fluid, stable and consistent

[6] Battery during first use = Left on standby during the night : 7hrs = 10%

[7] Voice Call quality = Very Good.

[8] Note 7 Camera = 18 options available, most complete I have seen on any ROM so far. Same issue on this as will all but one ROM where the Live Broadcast does not work. Continuous Shot Works flawlessly, Dual Camera, Selfie..., I did not test all options.

[9] Theme Store = Works both Wallpaper and Theme options.

[10] ROM Control - I have only tested Power Menu Options so far, will test Call Recording and others soon.

I want to apologise for my earlier response and with no team to help you I was being unreasonable.

[11] Backup & Restore - Philz Recovery : without full Samsung/Google/additional apps restore or install : Backup : 6.4GB in 12mins 56secs. Restore : Perfect restore, no failures. Battery Consumption : 10%

[12] Good ROM. Like it A LOT. Why V4 would not work is a mystery as I tried with both TWRP & Philz.

Continued testing :-

[13] Off-Screen Memo works

[14] S-Pen functions work - but still need to make further tests.

Every backup I restore stays on updating android. . . . thats it. . .

Never had problems with restoring , after i wanted to flash this rom witch I cant install.

Phone freezes at aroma installer with this rom.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] shonkin:
What model is your Note 4?

What version of TWRP are you running?

Have you updated your modem/baseband recently? (You should if not)

How much free space is left on your phone? (Simple, but easily overlooked.)

Are you wiping system, data, dalvik, cache before installation try?

All simple stuff... but hoping it helps...
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] RHUDEBWOI:
Do you delete previous backup when doing a new one? If yes, then please advise what you use for backup; Titanium, TWRP or Philz?

If you keep previous backups, are you not able to revert to one of them? If you are already attempting to do this, and you are using your SD card for backup, may the problem be with the card and not with the ROM?

Have made an attempt to backup to Internal SD/Device and not SD card? If you have tried this and the result is the same, you may have to flash from start, like new ROM and reinstall/restore your device. If you have not made an attempt to backup to Internal SD, please try as this may eliminate the ROM as the cause. If the cause is the SD card, please reformat your SD card and try again.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] rasadami15:
Greet if I may interject that have happened to me a few roms back where the backup and restore failed what had to do is a full factory wipe and reinstall the phone at it original state via odin PE3 OR OLDER and start from the beginning and do the whole process of rooting and so on ...... But that the only way to unbreak your phone.hope it work you it did for me peace

I did try to download languages by Wifi but still get error.

Since you said your apn is properly set.

And Network mode is selected for LTE/3G/2G (auto connect) and you get lte on stock. I don't know what it could be.

Have you tried forcing with LTE only?

You got n910t and using ATT. So maybe it's kernel related.

And I don't remember lte bands compatibility for att.
