You can try custom ROMs but you may lose the security patches this version has.

I know of one user that tried and reported success (Hopefully, it goes without saying, you shouldn't try to downgrade bootloader; full stock tar downgrade below QI5 are off limits).

But there are Xposed mods that will yield a custom like ROM. When I updated, I rooted and installed Wanam unofficial Xposed. Custom enough for me; only needed 10 modules and a couple of custom apps to get that. Then there's bloat to freeze and a few mods to flash.

Yeah, I get it. Custom is an easy flash but developers have retired or moved on to other devices.

I'm on Fido(Canada), I bough this (N910P) on Ebay, it worked fine running on Android 5.1.1, but after updated to this firmware QI5, when I dialed out, it said "not registered on network" can not get connection. Does anyone having any solution, please help.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] anon1135:
is it possible for battery life to become worse after flashing a new firmware? might be my imagination
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jam97:
In my opinion, battery and performance are better.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
It shouldn't but maybe it does. I'll try to explain... There's duplicate apps, a lot of bloat (carrier and OEM) and poor app management (RAM management didn't appear all that bad). But if you're not rooted, there's only a little you can about it.

But when you start fresh with stock ROM, permissions of many apps are disabled. Once you start increasing permissions and setting things up, battery drain may increase. Honestly, I found the need to tweak and disable stuff once Samsung's optimization started kicking in. Battery life started good but one of the first things I did was flash r60 Beastmode permissive kernel and root and setup init.d and busybox. As drain and dysfunction set in, I optimized more. No thanks Samsung, you don't always know best.

If you have needed apps getting shutdown, they only run when opened again and may get shutdown again (I believe this becomes default behavior but may not start this way). I turn that useless "App power saving" feature in Settings->Battery to "Off" because it won't let Viper4Android and Dolby Atmos run in the background. It might be useful for bloat but that can be done to user preference, manually, with other apps.

Running a custom kernel, rooted with custom apps may offer a little more control. I'm biased. Most days, I get around 6 hours SOT (Screen On Time) in a day's use on a single charge of stock capacity battery before plugging in (use and setup can impact results). Highly modified too but maybe not necessary if you're using a package disabler and monitoring running apps and closing unnecessary apps. Wouldn't need to root for that but missing out on the fun.

Just my opinion; I think some optimization is needed. But some prefer stock unrooted. I haven't spent much time with it to tell how optimal stock is since the early days of KitKat. Those were better days for battery SOT. Odd that Google continues to claim better battery management but always manages to take it back. I used to get 9+ hours SOT time per charge on stock battery.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
So I decided to add Samsung's GoodLock apk to my rooted QI5 Odex ROM. Backed up partitions in TWRP before beginning just in case.

Only feature I find missing so far is the status bar icon indicating WiFi Calling is active.

A few things I noted lacking in my previous rooted setup, prior to GoodLock, was center clock not disappearing on default home screen when clock/weather widget displays time (Nova Launcher feature), slow wake to lockscreen with home button, and active apps widget showing an active count when its shortcut indicates none are active. And don't you hate having to confirm airplane mode?

All the above issues appear resolved with GoodLock and flashlight toggle is working too. Also adds background blur on pulldown with custom theming too.

What many find as a nonstarter for GoodLock use prospects is that fingerprint as unlock will not work; use password or pattern unlock. In fact I wouldn't recommend finger unlock because I think it locks you out; not sure if the backup password option works if you make that mistake. It's not a simple thing to undo GoodLock without uninstalling. That's to be done from within its UI with phone booted and unlocked. Also, there was an issue with multi window; don't know if that was ever resolved since I don't use it.

I'd suggest reboot after theming GoodLock. Otherwise, colors may not be as expected.

I thought this thread was for finding a solution to Flash a Downgrade from QI5? Why are we talking about what apps we are running on a rooted Custom ROM and weather the Flashlight toogle works? Lets get back on subject and find a solution for the users who took the OTA Update to QI5!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Tha_Dynasty2049:
lol i feel you man

but i believe our ship has sailed because we dont have many devs that is willing to look in to it

and there are good roms for 6.0 and we are not dead in the water just unable to run older software and trust me it hurts too because i miss Hybrid X 3.0
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Samted69:
Any luck trying to downgrade from N910PVPU5DQI5 yet?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
You can downgrade but don't downgrade bootloader and don't try to flash a tar that includes a downgraded bootloader.

As before when the bootloader upgraded, older ROMs were possible but those on older Android versions required a kernel to run with newer bootloader. For example, KitKat ROMs would flash and boot if flashing Beastmode 1.0 and SuperSU prior to boot. In this instance, bootloader and kernel were matched. Same applied to nandroid backups restored: flash Beastmode 1.0 and SuperSU to restore nandroid from KitKat or Lollipop 5.0 over Android 5.1 Lollipop.

I suspect the same is possible with QI5 bootloader. Match your custom kernel with bootloader; I believe that means any MM kernel for Sprint Note 4 will boot the ROM. Compatibility is a concern; do so at your own risk and report success or incompatibility.

I know others have reported no issue with MM ROMs but I don't recall any reports of going back to older Android version like Lollipop or KitKat. Also, be aware that multiple flashes prior to boot isn't considered safe by MM; you may not boot if flashing too much at once. I'd wait to flash individual mods and flash those individually with dedicated boots, particularly Xposed or sound mods. Flashing ROM (or nand backup), followed by kernel and SuperSU should be OK. And if the nandroid backup already has the preferred kernel, it should boot without having to flash kernel and SuperSU again.

Any issue, have the QI5 stock tar ready to restore. You may have to wipe data as well. ALWAYS- Flash at your own risk.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Samted69:
Thanks...

Some Noob-ish questions. Kindly indulge me..

I want to flash a QB3 Stock rom. Can I extract and remove the BL and ABOOT files and flash away? Is that advisable?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Can I assume you're trying to follow OP instructions to install a custom stock ROM?

If so, you can skip the stock tar altogether because it isn't really necessary. But you might consider backing up internal memory or keepsakes and formatting or wiping data before installing.

As I stated earlier, the kernel and SuperSU of that custom MM ROM would be sufficient to boot if you're currently on QI5 stock. And if you have a nandroid backup of the QB3 custom ROM, you could restore that instead.

Keep in mind that if you wipe system partition, you need to unmount system partition or reboot TWRP recovery before trying to flash a ROM.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] kupo03:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] English_Gentleman:
Good morning all. I don't know if anyone has come across or knows of a solution to this annoying problem.

Basically, the stock contacts app (by Samsung) crashes when I want to view details of a contact. You can open the program and it shows you the list of names, but if you want to open it up to call or text then it crashes. It's annoying as I cant use my call log as a point of returning calls. I've had to download Google Contacts to overcome some of the problems.

Is there any way of uninstalling it and reinstalling it as I know it's integrated into the dialer app too. Or does someone use an alternate dialer/address app that's simple and clean? No fancy themes or additional features.

Thanks all!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] brholt6:
I've had similar issues with the stock dialer and messaging app. Sometimes they'll just freeze and only rebooting the phone will get them working again. Interested to hear if anyone has some sort of a fix as well.

I had the same issue with the stock contacts app on my Note8 and here's how I fixed it. Go to Settings > Apps > Contacts > click the vertical ... in the top right corner > Uninstall updates. I hope this works for others too.

It's a breach of privacy if it's not something we agree'd to in the TnC's and a few people are saying it's the toggle under settings that you can opt out with so that's nothing if that's the case. But this info they're logging is not personal and means nothing to average users just device info what every OEM logs in their OS.

If you are worried about privacy maybe time to switch to iOS. Google is the worst every app is logging some kind of data

This is something not acceptable if it's true https://plus.google.com/102612254593917101378/posts/BU2aNCfBNEo
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Monk3y:
This is nothing mate , if you worry about that I guess that you don't have Facebook? Or you don't use Google service? All company are getting your data and you don' t even know, but there is worse than just getting information of "phone lock", "phone unlock "
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] theduke7:
according to the article it's not the toggle controlled User Experience in Advanced settings, i understand that even google collects data (and even Apple fyi) , but the point is it's without permission, Google asks on every new setup if it can , even when you install a Google app like Gboard, it asks if you want to share info, and in their setting there's always a toggle to opt-out... this on the other hand seems to be a hidden service , why hide something if it's collecting standard data everybody else is collecting and why not provide an opt-out option?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] theduke7:
i either debloat those or use clean alternatives or delete any concerning risk... again Google gives you the option to opt-out , this doesn't, and this is the difference, and we can't make excuses for such behavior because it enables them to continue doing it.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] liam_davenport:
HTC collects the same kind of data as OnePlus their is no opt in or out. You agree to it in the Terms and Conditions when you buy the device and It's probably the case here and the case with many products and services. If you are really worried or pi*sed off about it happening read the TnC's before you agree to a purchasing a product or a service

I'm going with what the people are saying in advanced settings that is the opt out. No other reason for that to be there and in Open beta you can opt out of that in setup of the phone not sure if the case in stable. I run custom rom

I don't see 'oneplus device manager' anywhere on my op3. The article also states that he found that on an op2.

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] theduke7:
that's why i didn't buy an HTC... and if it was something in t&c OnePlus would've said so...

it's not the one in advanced settings, that was the point of the article, and the testing was done by a security company, again, the fact that some companies collect data without permission doesn't mean we should accept it.

people don't use a lot of Chinese rooting apps for the exact same reason, the difference being those apps are from unknown companies or groups, so what you're saying is as long as those collecting data are big players it's OK!

we can't get even the minimal amount of privacy just accepting every violation as OK... for myself, i know how to disable or delete those, and it's the 1st thing i do if i'm on a stock rom (as i do with Windows 10), but that shouldn't be the case, people shouldn't be concerned about their personal info collected and used behind their backs.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] theduke7:

It's sad to see people accepting the truth that many OEM's log the data and keep quiet.it's necessary for us to stand against this logging of data. I'am concerned about my personal info being logged in without my permission. We just see the top layer of data being logged but who knows may be they even sell data to other companies and make profit. And those companies target ads at u and probably they might even know more about you then you yourself!! They know your habits. How and when you use your phone.what apps you use the worst part where you stay and what places you visit often etc etc!! I stand against this and you all should too!!

A few notes:

This error occurred as soon as the phone was reset. Further resets have not fixed it. Restored from image; didn't fix it. Having trouble finding images from the mfgr.

Running Android 5.1, Kernel 3.10..72

Phone has been rooted since.

My Android development is limited to entry-level at best, but I did run an example app that reads the ringtone; it reads "null."

Using a 3rd-party app ("Zedge?") to set ringtone "succeeded"/silently failed i.e. no change.

Attempting to open ringtone settings crash/reboots phone.

Remoting in via FileZilla/SSHDroid, I can still see the ringtones in the /system/media/audio folder. Downloaded to my PC, they all seem to play fine though one file in notifications seems glitched.
