[MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION]: It's running fine so far, except it didnt recognize my mobile data at first (T-Mobile on an N910T running their firmware). The APN list was empty, no Internet access, had to hop on my laptop real quick to get the right APN info. I also noticed that MicroG isn't installed. Oh well, I can just flash NanoDroid. What's the difference between your LOS 4-17 build and [MENTION=6005084]ripee[/MENTION]'s unofficial LOS 4-17? For me, the diff was that his didnt boot on a clean flash and yours did. I tried twice with and without FP, also converted data to ext4 and back to F2FS, still no boot. Strange that yours is based on his but boots fine. I guess the only difference is the kernel and the MicroG sigspoof patch.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] kevintm78:
As far as the rom itself, the only difference is the signature spoofing capability, and one other commit that relates to NFC sounds (it was going of at weird times) that I reverted.

The kernel is reverted back to 3-24 and I think I may hold off on committing changes from the lineage source until I'm sure that the changes actually help. In my opinion all the changes since the end of March are either making things worse or having no positive effect.

I left out microg on purpose, that easy people can choose whether or not they want to run gapps or whatever. The thing I like about the way signature spoofing is implemented is that you have to grant that permission or it just stays dormant so it really has no overall effect of you don't want it to.

Just in case anyone missed it the download is here:

Not really. The sources I use for my builds are updated more often than the ones kevintm78 uses, a fact I have pointed out before.

I use the Flashpoint Kernel for my 910F (RR Pie).

Thx for your work, it's GREAT :good::D
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] AnonVendetta:
[MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION]'s LOS MicroG ROM is pretty good but.....it has the same flaw as the sig spoofing implementation in HavocOS and RR. MicroG GMS can request the spoofing perm, and if you grant then MicroG's self check page will say that spoofing is active for GMS and that it has the correct signature. But if you install, say, FakeStore, Play Store, etc, it has no way to request the spoofing perm since it wasnt designed to do so. And so you may get the issue that it is installed but self check says its' sig isn't correct.

HavosOS has a built in way to toggle spoofing on/off, but it only works for GMS, but not for apps using the com.android.vending package name, even if it is official Play Store.

RR has spoofing too, but no UI for toggling it on/off. And again, only GMS can request the spoofing perm, apps using com.android.vending package name cant.

Lanchon's sig spoof checker checker app can request spoofing perms too, but it has a UI designed for that.

My solution to this problem is twofold:

1. Install NanoDroid zip, selecting their custom GMS instead of official MicroG GMS, and select official Play Store, GSF, and DroidGuard for passing SafetyNet with Magisk.

2. Patch the ROMs with Lanchon's Haystack patch. It is best to do it in Linux, a virtual machine is good for this. But you can also boot up a live CD/ISO on your PC and do it there. It can also be done in Windows via Cygwin's Bash implementation. Java is required, but most modern Linuxes have that preinstalled out of the box. ADB is also required for pulling the files to the device and pushing them back onto it after they are patched, but ADB is pretty easy to install in Linux. It it best to patch while in TWRP instead of being booted into the ROM, since TWRP has root perms by default, whereas in the ROM you will have to be rooted with Magisk/whatever and system partition mounted as writable. Patching with Haystack solves my Play Store issue and MicroG's self check shows that it has the correct sig. Haystack patches all the required files /system/framework, and also /system/priv-app/Settings/Settings.apk, it adds a toggle in developer options to turn spoofing on/off. It is very comprehensive, I would say it is the best spoofing patcher out there since it covers all the bases. It is not very hard to do, just follow the instructions on its' GitHub page after downloading/extracted the zip, I did it in about 5 mins with no prior experience with the patch (but I am an intermediate level Linux user for about 7 years, so that helps).

Pls the touchwiz kernel also need mass storage support
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] kevintm78:
Once you have the play store installed you can go into settings/apps and notifications/app permission and grant signature spoofing. That way you don't have to go through all that other stuff.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] kevintm78:
Yeah you're right, the tw kernel has been getting neglected lately. It seems to me that with AOSP roms it takes the kernel longer to settle in and that just adds to the time it takes to test battery life and whatever intermittent issues that might come up, but I'm going to get to it soon because of this.....

This is a little of topic but I'm really excited about it and I just have to mention it;

I saw recently that [MENTION=5750672]Er. Aditya[/MENTION] might make an update to his Nameless rom. I think I may have said this before but Nameless rom is what inspired me to try and learn how to build kernels and modify roms. I have a Verizon phone and international roms are hard to use with this network so I decided I was going to try and recreate it with the Verizon firmware and also recreate the custom kernel that came with it, but I never was able to get the rom part together. At the time all I knew how to do was flash roms and didn't know anything about using apktool (didn't even know it existed), never used Linux, and certaintly couldn't build a kernel. Two years later and I still can't do mods like that. Nameless opened up a whole new world for me. So if that comes out I'll definitely be making the switch back to TouchWiz.

Its the only rom I've ever used that is debloated as much as it is without losing any features (that I use anyway). The final zip is less than 1 GB which is difficult to do with a tw rom. It also has quite a few "under the hood" tweaks that made for great battery life but was still fast as lightning. Its one of the few tw roms that is actually a custom rom and not just modified stock like my rom is and almost every other rom in the note 4 section. Besides alexndr's dev base and Andy Car's reodexed rom (the only one of it's kind that I know of) everything else is just a retread of something else. The port roms are the same way, everyone uses the same Norma base so they all have the same issues and the only difference is whatever mods that come with them. I'm not trying to downplay the work that's involved with port roms or modified stock, I'm just saying that some roms are one of kind and some aren't.

Sorry for the wall of text, but this news has got me hyped up (if you can't tell).

Thank you kevintim78
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] kevintm78:
Yeah, anything you want to use would be an honor.

Edit:

I just noticed your release post and downloading now. If you need any help with the kernel let me know. I was wondering if you were wanting something similar to what the kernel was like in v4 or if you'd decided to go in a different direction, either way I'm super excited about v5.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] negativman:
Tell me please. And for Oreo (LA15) the kernel can not be done?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Er. Aditya:
Thanks brother ... just let me know which is latest one for F varient and does this amazing work on G too brother
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] kevintm78:
This is the link for v4 which was the last one for the F variant and it's been working for G too, but I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better to use one of the older sources. Samsung put some safety measures (or whatever you want to call it) in the new sources that throttle fast charging and a lot of people are having issues with the battery topping off at 95%. The code that's causing all that trouble isn't in the sources released prior to the note 7 recall.

My theory is that since the newer sources just have more upstream patches that we should be OK using older sources since I'm adding all the upstream patches anyway but I don't know if I'm thinking about this right.

If you want to use v4 (which has the fast charge issue) from the link above let me know. F2FS is still broken in that kernel and I never did get around to fixing it but I'll wait and see what your thoughts are on those sources and maybe rebuild the same thing with a different source.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Er. Aditya:

The rom? Yeah here's the link https://xdaforums.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-nameless-mm-lightfastdeodexed-t3363547/page199

I'm glad OP mentioned it, will probably check it out after V6 gets released after a few days. Currently on Alexandr's Devbase 4.6. It's simply a debloated rom. Whereas Nameless has rom control and other things from what I read.

Edit: probably some behind the scene changes but nothing visual in the current rom I'm using, don't want to discourage his work since his rom is great especially one to come back to if you need that 100% bugfree experience.

I see the note on the pie .2 kernel regarding the fix for maintenance mode (safe mode?) on the 910v. Do you think you can point mobspyguy to a repo and commit ID to fix that on RR? I don't know enough about github to find it myself without help.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] MikeSantamariaF:
I just discovered a method to not have random reboots when the battery charge drops to less than 40% (havoc latest version + Flashpoint v2 no extended battery life) ... the only thing to do is calibrate the battery (I used root essentials).

Note:

I do't use flashpoint v3 because the performance is not so good and it causes many random reboots. (N910T).

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] negativman:
kevintm78,

Is it possible to make support for turning on the screen on a double tap?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] AnonVendetta:
I just replaced my ZeroLemon battery with the TQTHL 11800mah. Had it installed for a few days. I can finally not have to check my battery meter, and am enjoying not having to carry a charger everywhere. Feels like a new phone again. With the ZL I was constantly checking the meter and watching it drop a % or so every few mins, and got less than 10 hours on a single charge from the 1st day, now I'm averaging 18 to 20 hours depending on usage. I always suspected the ZL was defective.

Previously I was running RR P with FP kernel, but decided it wasn't worth it due to no official, native Xposed. So I grabbed the latest QI2 Odin firmware for my N910T, then proceeded to deodex and heavily debloat, followed by integrating some customizations I like such as 3Minit battery mod, MicroG, etc. In short I'm using stock firmware and modding the hell out out of it, work in progress. It's not as hard as building a ROM from source code, but it's a start for learning development basics. Kernel is FP3.1, I tried v4/v5 for TouchWiz ROMs, but they lack double tap to wake, which is important to me.

[MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION]: I plan on releasing a modded stock ROM within the next month, so I would like to ask for your permission to integrate FP3.1 (no root version) into the ROM. I would prefer that the user not have to flash it separately, and will be releasing 2 versions, one for extended battery users and the other for stock battery users. I'm not even sure if I need to ask permission, but am doing so as a courtesy request. You dont specify in the first post whether you're OK with this, so I figure it's better to ask first. If it is OK then I will be sure to include full credit and a link to this topic in my ROM thread. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] AnonVendetta:
[MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION]: Cancel my request, I've decided to go with either BeastMode kernel or Ram kernel for my ROM. Why? Well, because they have Knox completely disabled at the level of boot.img, whereas FP doesn't. And they don't have a so-called "root restriction" inbuilt (presumably by Samsung and not removed by most kernel devs). This restriction interferes with the functioning of certain apps that I use, such as Linux Deploy, where using the su/sudo commands in a chroot-ed Linux install are blocked, so you can't do admin tasks. And in Riru Core (more specifically Storage Redirect app, which depends on RC) the SD starter script is prevented from working due to a cryptic grep error. I've been investigating this for months and finally came to the conclusion that full functionality can only be achieved with certain kernels (BeastMode and Ram are the only 2 custom kernels I've found for the N910T that dont have the root restriction). If you can look into this and maybe disable it, I would consider FP again. Another niggling issue I've had with FP is that F2FS supposedly works, but not in practice. Or, I mean to say, it works until I power off and charge offline, then something I can't pinpoint gets triggered, because when I boot into TWRP it says data is corrupted, and if I try to boot the ROM it just hangs on the logo forever. No issues when using ext4 with FP or any other kernel on stock ROM.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] cristobalite1983:
I am using the same battery as you and loving every day of it. I hope to get another soon so while it takes almost 16 hours to properly charge it, I can have another so I'm not offline for a whole day charging m battery. I would very much like to try out this new rom of yours so keep us updated on your works if that's OK with you and Kevin...
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] AnonVendetta:
[MENTION=7183081]cristobalite1983[/MENTION]: Yeah, I'll keep you updated on the ROM. Maybe I'll shoot you a PM soon. I already am working off of a private build, did some mods on it already, but not nearly as much as I would like. It's basically going to be a lean, mean stripped down ROM with as many unnecessary Samsung/Google/3rd-party components removed as possible. The goal is battery efficiency and a light footprint. It will never be as light as an AOSP/LOS-based ROM, but I'm trimming it down as much as I can, and doing constant stability testing. I've chosen BeastMode kernel for the ROM, and Knox is nearly 100% removed with the exception of 6 files in /system that will cause a bootloop if deleted (a JAR file and 5 library *.so files). This unfortunately means that Private Mode may not ever work, I've tried everything but it fails to turn on. I can only guess it depends on Knox somehow. I don't really care about PM, but figured I would try to get it working anyway. Worst case is I remove the PM APK and call it a day. I value hackability over Samsung's stupid, restrictive security measures any day. I'm also considering other things I consider important like BusyBox, Xposed, root (NOT Magisk in case you're wondering), reboot mod, and some other stuff you would find in popular custom ROMs, maybe some stuff you would find in AOSP/LOS-based ROMs like nano, bash. It will come a little bit at a time, so don't expect completeness/perfection on first release. The main point is stability as a daily driver. It's basically my personal ROM that I will share.

[MENTION=2760849]negativman[/MENTION]: As an alternative to double tap to wake support you can try KinScreen. It can turn the screen on by motion or by proximity sensor. Probably the best on the Play Store, and extremely battery efficient. IMO it works as well as DT2W if you take the time to set it up and get used to how it works. I used to use GravityScreen for these functions, mainly on ROMs that lack DT2W, but it drained too much battery. No issues at all with KinScreen. It has a thread here on XDA if you want to check it out. The Note 4's fingerprint sensor also works OK for wakeup if you register enough fingerprints and train the phone to them multiple times.

Sorry in advance for "advertising" in the FP thread.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] AnonVendetta:
I have a quick question:

If I were to flash Flashpoint or any other kernel with the extended battery fix, but onto a Note 4 that only has a stock battery, will the battery % still be accurate? I know that the extended battery kernel fix is obviously for the bigger batteries, but would a stock battery be adversely affected? I have a friend with a N910T3 (I have N910T) that is using FP kernel with stock battery (on my recommendation), he says the battery has always read accurately, no random shutdowns or other weirdness. He used the extended version by mistake but it hasn't proved to be an issue in the 10 months he has had it installed. I keep recommendin an extended battery to him, but he doesn't want the extra bulkiness. He moved into HUD-subsidized housing a few months ago, zo its not a problem to just charge the phone when it needs it. To each his own I guess.

Thanks!

[MENTION=4781728]Kevin[/MENTION], Flashpoint kernel v5 extended for touchwiz rom from Anonvendetta didn't work. It failed to flash. Any idea why?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] AnonVendetta:
So....just a few weeks after buying the TQTHL 11800mah to replace my ZeroLemon, I am quite angry to report that it literally burned up this morning while the phone was charging. I woke up to a loud hissing noise, right on time to see it catch fire. I quickly grabbed it and tossed it across the room, to prevent the possibility of fire spreading to my bed, clothes, etc. Which resulted in a slight hand burn to several fingers which was quickly treated at the hospital, but still stings like hell. The phone was powered on when it happened, sitting idle on the lockscreen.

I've been in the process of building a ROM, at the time it was running FP kernel on Marshmallow stock modded ROM (mostly just debloated and some added apps so far). My suspicion is that the battery I bought was defective from the start. Although, even with the ZL battery, I had no such issues. It lasted nearly 2 years and didnt get warm very often. The phone itself had been having issues for the past few months, like random reboots, freezing. Sometimes when I powered it on it would instead go to a screen that said "EMMC read fail" (or similar) and "could not do normal boot". Or, it would get stuck on the Samsung logo, requiring a battery pull and multiple booting attempts before I could get into whatever ROM was installed. I think the hardware was dying even before the new battery was installed.

My plans are to buy a new (or refurbished) N4 on eBay, it is still a good phone for the price. As for the battery, I'm in the process of trying to contact TQTHL with proof to see if they can send a replacement. I won't let this put me off from buying extended batteries, I've been using them for years, freak accidents are bound to happen sooner or later. It could just as easily happen with a stock battery (Note 7, anyone?).

Just figured I would post this as a warning to anyone that uses extended batteries in their phones.
