20230630 Release notes :

Hello again everyone, I have finalized the release, half of these changes were included in the last "test" release i posted, i had to postpone any releases due to my note 4 USB port dying on me, but now that it is all sorted i managed to debug and do some changes i wanted to finish.

Overall this release is more or less preparation for Android 12/13 if i ever get around to doing them, there was alot of missing upstream required in the kernel and adding them helped performance alot, and hopefully aid in fixing the random app crashes reported, CPU, Binder, Memory and few others have been upstreamed.

i have used my note 4 for few days with my main sim card in it, made alot of calls, tested various modes such as bluetooth calls and so on, and it has been solid, battery life sucks on performance mode, using low/balanced did help things a bit, but i would not say its excellent, the ROM is too demanding.

Few other minor notes, Audio, fingerprint in 3rd party apps, Vulkan GPU all got fixes, WiFi is more stable now regardless of NearbySharing settings, and i added support for MicroG, and S-PEN Palm rejection. i have listed everything in the changelog

Note : While now the phone runs the actual official CTS fingerprint, it fails to pass CTS, after some testing it seems that the official note 4 fingerprint is no longer being certified, unless im mistaken, To circumvent this, if you need CTS pass you must flash magisk and Kdrag0n SafetyNet Fix module.
