WOW! DL link is now shown but still grayed out...waiting excitedly! Thanks Ananjaser!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] agtherluyd:
There are people wanting the LOS 18.0 (Android 11), however, we are dealing with one of the first devices to have the Exynos as standard, and which at the time was an extremely complicated chip to develop ROMs, unlike the Snapdragons, which were standard in the note line until the 3.

We are lucky that someone still insists on such a complicated chip and try to develop a ROM, the device is from 2014, and is receiving a system from last year, developed by one person, with all the problems faced, we are still very lucky.

I'd rather they improve LOS 17.1 before going to 18, since from the 16-17 transition, everything was incompatible and was remade from scratch, we're almost at full stability, a little bit left, oh, many newer devices still haven't received Android 11 neither in official version nor in custom version.

We have to thank anan for insisting on this device, which must be a lot of work, happy for a new build, eager to test.

Rom running smoothly. Thanks for the rom and keeping the note 4 (exynos) alive!!!!!

Hey @ananjaser1211 my phone is a recently processor changed N910H (old processor was N910F). Flashed the ROM, everything is fine; except the mobile data. When I tried to do the thing you said in the FAQ, It didn't switch when I clicked 3g (also the phone had 4g support before I updated to android 10) it also says "Disconnected" on choose a network setting. When I click on that, It just gives me a black screen and Automatically select network doesn't turn on. I live in Turkey if it helps. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] ananjaser1211:
Network selection crashes from time to time, some bug with lineage itself i haven't figured out yet, it takes few tries, eventually it will be changed to 3G, the video ive linked in the F.A.Q showcases the crash, and then it working.

you can skip all this workarounds by using RR-Q, which does not suffer from this issue on H models, i dont know why yet, but id love to implement that in lineage.

All builds are actually uploaded, ive yet to make the release post. ill do it in a bit
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] imglai:
Thanks for the reply @ananjaser1211 . I've looked at the comparison between Lineage and RR, and it said RR had more customizations. I don't like customizations. Is there a lite version or something with like, no customization options? Also, where do I find the latest modem & bootloaders?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] ananjaser1211:
A lite version of RR ? No, tho the customization aspect is fully optional, you can just ignore them,

Latest bootloader and modem can be found here https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1mwljcCvVyCzrQZnTn4nfh35fYqit0WO0?direction=a

these are ODIN flashables, if/when i had the time ill make twrp flashable versions.

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] Pitec:
testing latest version of 17.1 ... looking good so far. dirty flashed. will feedback later...
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] agtherluyd:
Looking forward to testing this new build, thanks anan once again.

I was lucky on my phone having virtually no serious problems with the previous build, the almost 4 months was worth the wait, very little left for complete stability.

I plan to do a week of extensive testing, to see the limits of the build,I'm optimistic about this new release, the previous release was so good that made me leave the LOS 16 outright.

Just one detail, I can only install magisk until the 21.4, the last to have a native zip version, all magisk after the 22, gives error in installing, even doing the step by step site, easier for me to install 21.4 and then update in the APP itself, someone faced this problem?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] ananjaser1211:
Magisk no longer uses zips, instead APKs, just download magisk apk from here https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/tag/v23.0 then rename it from magisk.apk to magisk.zip (on your phone is fine) and then flash it via twrp

On lineage-17.1-20210630, only one microphone out of two works. Poor sound quality. Nothing changed.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] scamp258:
Hello @ananjaser1211 . First of all, thank you for your work. I have the CQ model. I updated to the latest version last night. I installed the nano version of Gapps and Magisk. The restarting problem that I encountered frequently in the previous version seems to be completely resolved in this version. But in the latest version, I can hardly hear the other person's voice during phone calls. How can i solve this problem.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] agtherluyd:
A day using the new build, the only thing I noticed differently, is that the battery consumption of this version is higher than the previous, I say that a 20-25% higher, in addition, I did not notice significant difference, maybe need to test with heavy apps, which required to use more GPU, since correction was made at that point.

The rest is equal to the previous build, very good, without serious problems.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] unicunic8:
update 6/30/2021, very good, why are there notifications, phone not allowed for voice ( N910H )
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] ananjaser1211:
earpiece is lowered to avoid echo in calls. you can try and increase it a bit by editing system/vendor/etc/mixer_paths_0.xml

and increase the number in lines 436,437,438,439

<ctl name="HPOUT3 Digital Volume" value="124" />

<ctl name="HPOUT3L Input 1 Volume" value="32" />

<ctl name="HPOUT3L Input 3 Volume" value="32" />

<ctl name="HPOUT3L Input 4 Volume" value="32" />

to like , 130 , 40 40 40

if it is near flashing, it is dalvik cache rebuild and other "optimizations" android does, give it some time it should stabilize, i removed GPU overclocking and other stuff as they caused too much heat and issues

also for now avoid using the battery profile slider in settings > battery as it seems to be buggy, and sets the phone to power saving, working on fixing that so expect a new build in a while

im not sure what that means, did you switch to 3G mode as per the F.A.Q ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] unicunic8:
apparently, I have to flash the modem again via odin for N910H

thank you for helping
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] kasper_sky23:
Dear Ananjaser. The rom is very beautiful and serial. Thank you. About the sound; I did what you said. The voice was very loud, but the other party hears him speaking. Since the sound comes from the rear speaker, the microphone picks up the sound. So the echo problem increases.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] agtherluyd:
hello anan

Actually, this doesn't affect my daily use, I just noticed the slight increase in battery consumption, but I'll do more tests, maybe with time it will stabilize, since the changes were many, the previous build already considered stable enough for use , even though many had problems, I almost didn't.

I saw that you launched an RR version of the current build, I intend to use it, I've always liked RR, I like to customize, especially using the screen's pixel reduction mode, as it helps to save a little battery, I think it's unnecessary to use 1440p daily , with a 3220mAh battery, I think it's an unnecessary expense

I intend to do more tests with LOS and then go to RR, so far without problems, practically the same as the previous build, maybe with less heat in heavy use.

thanks for your work !
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] Godel Chen:
I endorse the newly built version 20210630, after a few days use,

1. It never reboot after screen on or after youtube run.

2. Apparently faster booting, Compare the two same model N910U placed side by side in parallel for comparision.

3. Lasting longer on battery, by using only facebook and screen off standby. The average hours can be up to 12 hours with 4 hours screen on. Compare to the earlier version which can only last 8 hours with 3 hours screen on.

If compare to Samsung last 6.0.1 release firmware, which only last around 4-5 hours of use, constantly feel hot on battery cover. Samsunge purposely slow down the newly released firmware to push people buying new phone, according to news if my memory serve me right.

This is alsmost a commercial production version. If you don't use camera video recording. the open google apps project stock version camera app still freeze if running video recording. However, the option of storage path now shows up and can be changed.

Hi Anan,

I have checked this link and i couldnt find the bootloader for N910C. Could you lead me to the one i need ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] Darwinst:
Good morning, I must congratulate the developers for not allowing a device with good features to die yet, I have it installed two days ago and I have not had any failures that have been reported in the forum, my equipment is an SM-N910U and everything It is perfect, if I have to report something, it is only that the phone signal icon does not mark the signal strength, yes it has, since I did calls and sms tests, Sorry my bad english
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] mmp_1394:
Try N910CXXU2DSA2_N910CXXU2DSA1.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] agtherluyd:
Also endorsement, initially it seemed that the new version was using more battery, but it seems that consumption is returning to normal. The previous version was already very good for me, I never had serious problems like most here were facing, this version just makes it better.

About the camera not recording native videos, unfortunately this is a problem made difficult by the Exynos chip of this generation, however I use Footej since the beginning, I got used to it and it has all the functions I need at the moment.

There is very little left for total stability, the goal is to make LOS 17.1 as stable as possible and then start work on LOS 18
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] hajkan:
Thanks for the rom.

Unfortunately auto rotation does not work on 910C. I even enabled the location as recommended.

HavocOs had screen stabilization. I used to eb able to get rotation work by enabling the stabilization in that OS.

Does anyone know a solution?

Flashing custom ROM without rooting and even enabling usb debugging​

I used this steps and flashed TWRP and Lineage on Galaxy Note 4. Please every one that have similar Samsung phone test it and inform if my phone hacked, or it can be public instructions?

1. go to download mode (volume down+home+power)

Current binary: samsung Official

system status: official

REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF (Is it by default?)

Secure Download: Enabled

2. flash twrp image belong to your model

heimdall flash --RECOVERY TWRP-3.3.1-trhpltexx-20190610.img

(I am using Ubuntu.)

3. boot to recovery mode

4. select 'wipe'

5. select 'format data' and proceed

7. Now advanced wipe

8. format system and cache partition, too

9. go back to 'advanced' on main menu

10. activate ADB Sideload

11. on PC, run 'adb sideload lineage-17.1-20210630-UNOFFICIAL-trhpltexx.zip'

at 47%, you will receive a reading error on PC. ignore it. On the phone, you can see successful message

12. reboot phone (you will receive a warning from TWRP that no OS is installed. Ignore it.)

You will boot to Lineage

@ananjaser1211, thanks for firmware man, you gave new life to my n910c. But sadly I have some issues with LTE. If phone is continiosly out of signal, baseband hangs till reboot (if it hangs all settings switching hangs settings app. Airplane mode doesn't work too, only reboot) ,i switched to 3g and it seems to work now. Also phone becomes much more hot in some apps. Hope this info can help you in future.

Hi i did dirty flash , these are issues i saw :

1. sometimes random reboot (5-7 times in week)

2. camera still has problem

and i have question how can i move apps to sd card in this rom? appmgr III doesn't work , thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] ananjaser1211:
working on a new update to tackle some power issues (currently power profiles are broken, phone is either stuck on power saving or performance modes) and bunch of other enchantments,

another thing is we finally figured out a fix for the issue were headphone audio might leak into speaker, and other audio related nonsense.

there are also some GPS improvements, found an issue were we didnt have NTP servers working, that is taken care of now, there is one GPS crash left to fix and then we should be fine

and finally, wifi direct has been fixed, aka p2p interface, this was causing intense battery drain in some scenarios, this also allows for wifi display to be used, but the feature has been removed from lineage 17.1 so if i can add it back ill keep it in the rom

i am still trying to figure out a way to improve microphone quality / volume but so far no luck.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] Pitec:
excited!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] agtherluyd:
I'm using the phone with the new build normally, I didn't notice any problem, the battery consumption, which was high initially, reduced a little, in general, for me, there's no change compared to the previous build, as both worked well with me. The high consumption was explained now that anan said that it is a bug that always leaves the phone in performance mode, but I didn't notice any problems because of that, in general, the build is very stable.

The only thing I noticed was strange about this build, the network icon doesn't precisely mark the signal (I'm talking about the 2G/3G/4G network, not the Wi Fi), it's always the empty icon (even with a signal), half or full, I use the 3C All In One Toolbox, and it correctly measures the % signal, when the network icon is empty or half, obviously this doesn't affect the general usage.

Overall, it's getting better, again, thank you anan

Connecting to my Synology vpn server via L2TP/IPSEC PSK does not work.

It does work with org 6 rom.

@ananjaser1211 Huge respect for your work!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] ananjaser1211:
The Mobile network signal has indeed changed with 17.1, ive seen some commits to address, but so far they only break the indicator (0 bar always) , ill take a look at it and see if there is a way to fix it. we should not really face this issue since it only occurs on RIL blobs of Pie as far as i remember

Thanks, i will take a look, i dont have a synology, but could you test PPTP if that is a thing ? a member on our group mentioned that VPN connections (manual ones, not via 3rd party apps) do not work, but i dont know yet what protocol he is using

edit, i managed to find a free L2TP/IPSEC PSK connection, from vpngate website, with the given credentials it connects, I have tested PPTP with a website named "vpnjantit" and it works,

so i am not sure what is causing it to fail on your end (and the guy in our group) i will ask for more information on the subject
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] ykkfive:
hi ananjaser1211

you may try protonvpn too, it's free and you can switch to a different protocol within the app (should be 2 available), if needed

sorry just a suggestion check on the media codecs
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] ananjaser1211:
Thanks for the details! i will test them out soon once possible, since VoIP is blocked in my country. hopefully its not a complicated fix

regarding the random reboots, if possible, upload `/data/tombstones` folder .

in the "next" release, it has not been released yet. still working on other audio stuff

Sure, but could you provide more details on what to check, i.e what is the issue, ive tested youtube playback and video recording (in 3rd party apps such as footej) looks fine, video playback in twitter , insta and tiktok seem fine (with the FakeDeviceInfo patch zip)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] unicunic8:
I have also tested, everything went well, why did the others complain about the audio, I was surprised
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] retiredtab:
@hamid3pnn, if you are reporting random reboots, it's important to share your data/tombstones folder as Anan requested. On the tab S2 devices, we discovered that the random reboots were due to gnss crashing only because 4 people shared their data/tombstones and it was common among all 4.

If you don't know how to get data/tombstones, see my instructions at

https://xdaforums.com/t/troubleshoo...rs-running-any-version-of-android-10.4308203/

If your tombstones show the same gnss crash message, then we already have a potential fix for Note 4 users because tab S2 and Note 4 share a lot of same exynos5433 code. And the fix is changing one line of code.

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] agtherluyd:
Lineage 18 will officially be the last version for Note 4, as from Android 12, 32bit support will be discontinued, hopefully the transition from LOS 17-18 will be less traumatic as was the transition from LOS 16-17, where all improvements were lost because of various incompatibilities.

That's why I think it's best to stay on LOS 17 for now to at least check if the transition to 18.0 will be safer, without having to redo almost everything from scratch.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] ripee:
You can dirty flash 18.1 over top of 17.1 without any problems. As for there being no possibility to bring up version 12, well developers will try all possible tricks up their sleeves to revert any forced 32-bit exclusions.

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] whiterabbit62:
... deleted..
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] Menelkir:
Nope, the processor supports 64bit, our problem is the bootloader that only supports a 32bit kernel so we're stuck at 32bit userland.
