Great ROM!
Beautiful ROM man, I'll be following the development. I'll test out a couple of fixes I found from beta testing my ancient Optimus S.
I posted directly to the blog, but I like following on the forums better
Quickest install I've ever seen.
No problems on NOOP. No lag that I notice.
One question, for the masses or developer. Any thoughts on how to root this sucker? I did the "sustain root" on CWM, I switched the root access on the settings to ADB and app.
Can't figure out how to get root though. Thrown various APKs at it, everyone gets a blocked install (third party apps is enabled too).

Easy root? and minimal Gapps working
Greetings all,
I tested this app package, it's much smaller than the primary app package. Store is working, no errors thrown up. Yet, I've been running for about 30 minutes now, and installed root checker, again, no errors. 5.0 is tested.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/gapps-google-apps-minimal-edition-t2943330
Just don't like all the goole news, games, and music crap that comes with a full GAPPS package.
Comes from working on the LG Optimus project.
Also, am I going crazy, or did I just switch a toggle and get root access?
Seriously? No ADB, no chinese programming? Just handed me root access like it was nothing?
Friggin awesome.

Camera Fix
I got the camera to work better.
I had to use
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera&hl=en
In case this blog block the link, it’s Open Camera by Mark in the play store.
I have working video and pic on the rear camera, and the “selfie” front camera works for picture only. In video mode, It duplicates/tiles video. That’s the only thing.
Other than that, very few problems. Pretty zippy in terms of speed. Course I came from the LG Optimus S, so anything is zippy to me. Noop works good.
Annoying though that it seems to only save nandroid backups to some mysterious "secure" folder. I've looked for it, can't find it. Maybe it's just ROM Manager being a jerk though.

Why haven't you updated the ROM since April 24?

You are alive? Yay!

Very excited for the next build to go up, can't wait! Welcome back!

Me too. It's going up later this morning.

Sweet, looking forward to notifications on my lockscreen. Going to have to swap out the font for the clock though, Roboto looks weird when thin.
Thanks for taking the time to build this for us.

I didn't build this. But be warned, Telephony, bluetooth, camera, and flashlight doesn't work.

Mostly nitpicking, but after about an hour of testing, here's what I found, on 12-20150424:
Telephony requires a two+ rings prior to the other phone ringing at all. May be a carrier issue.
The Location quick setting tile for the notification drawer disappears when accessing the tiles from the lockscreen, at least with a pattern lock. Unaffected are WiFi, mobile data, Bluetooth, tethering/hotspot, airplane mode, rotation control, flashlight, AudioFX, ADB over network, Compass, battery mode, color inversion, LTE
, LiveDisplay, NFC, screen timeout and profiles. (logcat for disappearing tile: pastebin.com backslash 4Ny6rR58)
Compass in said notification drawer does not function correctly, tilting devices does not equal change in heading. i437 hardware issue?
SMS is vulnerable to Stagefright, as expected of pre-August 2015 builds.
Settings > Storage: Overflow menu option 'USB computer connection' activity never starts if phone is not plugged into computer. IMO, should offer options even if not connected.
Cannot remove guest user under Settings > User without first being ON guest account.
Camera findings:
Rear camera 4.9 mp pictures do not preview correctly in camera app, appear as pure gray. Opening files with third-party app resulted in expected photo.
720p rear camera never saves video; must lower resolution to function. In addition, appears R and B channels get swapped in preview.
Beyond those, no complaints so far, and been using this for about two months now. Any bootloops are the result of an improper Xposed installation
(please don't stop making this, it's much fun to poke and prod D:)

WiFi radio not working
Hey guys, so I have a Samsung Galaxy Alpha that I rooted and flashed CM12.1 along with Gapps on to it and it worked fine. Then I flashed my aunt's Samsung Galaxy Light SGH-T399 with CM12.0 too (with Gapps) and again everything worked fine including WiFi except that she had no service from her provider but still could receive calls but neither call nor Message. So I flashed a new radio (SGH-T399N) which I found somewhere in the discussion page and everything worked! She now got service, meaning she could make calls and message too.
Now I flashed my uncle's Samsung Galaxy AT&T SGH-i437 along with Gapps and again, everything worked including Camera (Google Camera not stock). Except the WiFi. When the CyanogenMod set up screen loaded and asked for my preferred language I chose English as always but when the WiFi screen popped up, it simply said "WiFi turning on" but it didn't! For 10 minutes I sat there waiting for it to enable but no such luck. So I skipped ahead to the home screen and I noticed that Mobile Service worked 100% for the phone. So basically, is there a WiFi radio I must flash for the WiFi to turn on? Right now I just downgraded him to CM11 KK 4.4.4 with Nova Launcher and the WiFi is enabled. Thanks in advance!
tl;dr WiFi doesn't turn on SGH-i437, mobile service does. Any radio or something I need to flash?

Hey silents090,
I have a sgh-t399, any chance you could forward me the link for cm12 you got working on your relatives? cuz I flashed cm12 and had issues with mobile carrier, and regular sms texts....
thanks in advance

it was a T-Mobile t-399
Out of curiosity, which version of the rom did you use? I used vanilla.
Secondly, does the rom work when you do not flash the radio?
Thirdly and lastly, you clear the cache, data, dalvik etc before flashing, right?

Down here in Aus CYANOGEN MOD9 HELP!!??

Hi all, Noob of xda here,
I've been reading the forums as a non registered user and used some of the tutorials to root my samsung android device, I'm now running ICS 4.0.4 on my GT-S5660 and running 1096mhz instead of underclocked 800mhz from the shop. I spoof my devices imei number on a regular basis due to localized phone jackings from authority figures, lets just say I like my privacy and here in aus I have the right to keep it this way. I'm an Unlimited customer for calls, sms/mms and mobile internet data access. No there is no cap on my unlimited, and as far as I'm aware I'm probably 1 of very few customers in this country that have purposely done this, because we all know it.. phone companies are ripping people off all around the world, and some of us just happen to know it all to well.
Hopefully somebody will read this topic, bcuz I need a little help with ICS 4.0.4 bugs :/ My mobile internet data usage limit is programmed to be unchecked and "hidden" therefore do NOT have red and orange data warning and data limit "lines" and cannot access the checkbox to tick it and just raise bar 999###gb, I can hard reset or recover to the base copy I custom edited *to suit my own needs* and it will reset all data counters. I got the base from cyanogen mod 9 and it appears the project was unfinished. I get data warning limit at 2gb...... I have downloaded over 450gb in the last month and have just put up with the warning in notification bar. I have several other bugs that are getting annoying.. but would be simple if i had a larger knowledge of java script and open source code or the time to learn it. I have everything working perfect except camera display auto focus on screen was incorrect or uncompleted. few other bugs with on off switching of bluetooth and wifi though 90% of time works after reboot. I have no bootscreen and on phone start from being off it will not load any picture except my SAMSUNG *which is a mainboard bios image* when it first turns on, screen hangs black bcuz screen timeout settings, I changed my screen timeout to 15seconds and now it hangs on black screen for 15s then goes into sleep mode *turning screen and button lights OFF* as soon as I push menu or power button it loads up and starts working PERFECTLY, when beforehand main settings were set to never turn off screen therefore it constantly hangs with no onscreen image display and eventually freezes entire OS bcuz it seems to think its running perfectly when its not. Lots of reports of other device noobs saying "my phone is bricked" when really you are just a noob.
Can anyone help with the bugs I have or somehow get someone to finish the project using the original projects files or similair??????
Oh and I swear to god if noobs post dumbass unrelated s**t comments on this post...
Camera issue - no idea? sorry
Data limit notifications
My wife had this issue on her phone after I flashed it (CWM, Cyanogenmod7)
Needless to say I got the blame!
I updated to the latest cyanogenmod7 nightly
Hers is a Galaxy S2 which we got here in the UK
After that update it seemed to be working ok
Appreciate that my phone is different, I guess what Im saying is, try another rom or a nightly?
Apologies if this didnt help
Good luck

Thanks Joe! And a question.
First off, I want to thank Joe for all his hard work! Ever since I upgraded from the S3 to the S4 I have been missing CM for their lack of bloatware more than anything else. Found this just over a week ago, installed it and haven't looked back at TouchWiz ever since!!! Everything works great but I have a small issue I am hoping someone can help me with, I have tried using GravityBox and a separate Xposed module to have a different picture on the lock screen but all I ever get is a black background. If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them. Thanks again Joe for all your hard work and I am sad to hear you will be moving on. Was hoping to see some of that Lollipop goodness but I understand that hobbies can only take so much of your time. Good luck with your S5 work!

Which rom are you using right now? I heard there's an issue with GB while on the gpe version. You might have to do a nandroid backup and try out pure nexus as others users reported GB working with no issue for them. And sometimes after applied a tweak, you must restart your phone to take affect.

How to Pure Nexus on SGH-1337M
Hello,
I have the SGH-I337M with bootloader I337MUMUAMDJ and with TWRP recovery, I'd like to install this Pure Nexus but I don't know what to chose when it comes to the modules.
Has anyone installed this or can anyone provide me some advice?
Thanks,
OMG I am LOVING the Pure Nexus rom on my S4!!!!! I just want to say that this was my first Android experience and was going to be my last until I stumbled upon xdadevelopers and this ROM a few days ago. I originally switched from an iPhone (which was hard enough) but when I got my brand new S4 I couldn't believe how slow and laggy it was, thanks to ATT apps and touchwiz, my phone with all these great specs could barely keep up with MMS messages and was lagging just scrolling thru my contact list!!??! :/
So anyways, I was ready to move back to the Apple side of the world before I decided to give this ROM a try and after installing the Pure Nexus rom all i can say is... WOW!!! I think i'm finally falling in love with this device 1.5 years later. This is exactly how the S4 should be stock from all carriers!! Pure, clean, fast and functional!! very impressed! Awesome work Joe!!

I believe I was in the wrong forums, I found GOOGLE EDITION 4.4.4 by Danvdh, Kryten2k35 & Ktoonsez and I believe it is meant for SGH-I337M so I'll give it a try.
Also, I did have one question, is there any work around yet for being able to connect this to a PC via USB and being able to transfer files? Again, I'm on ATT NC1 using the Pure Nexus Rom.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

No. Look into airdroid or the app in the OP. There will be no work around unless our bootloader gets unlocked, from what I understand it's a kernel problem and there's no real way to fix it without flashing a kernel

Adding tiles to drop down menu?

Is there a way to add more tiles to the menu? Where the Brightness, Settings, Wifi, Network, Battery Life, Airplane Mode, Bluetooth and Location settings are? I'd like to have to customize this a bit if possible.

Wifi difficulties on Google Play Edition ROMs for I337UCUFNI1
Hello, I followed the instructions for the SafeStrap installation of various Google Play Edition ROMs on my Samsung Galaxy S4, NI1 found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53758259#post53758259
I successfully booted into working installations for all of them (Pure Nexus Edition, Google Edition for SafeStrap v1.1, & S4 Google Edition for SafeStrap. The phone could receive 4G LTE, but could not turn on Wifi. It became stuck on "Turning Wifi on..." & never progressed elsewhere. I performed all manner & combinations of hot reboots & full reboots, with no luck.
I also tried flashing different ATT modules.zip from NB1 & NC1, none of which changed anything.
In http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/development/rom-google-edition-s4-t2837239/post55466895#post55466895
I also saw that in addition to hot/soft reboots, trying go enter/exit airplane mode may also get wifi back up again. This too failed. I'm utterly confused how hot reboots & this airplane mode fix worked for so many others.
Anyone else had luck with fixing wifi?
Requesting advice/help. I just flashed this rom and have experienced two data drops already within 30 minutes of me using the rom. What should I do to fix this?
also...just tried to install chrome from the play store. When I open chrome my phone immediately vibrates 3 times very quickly, and says "unfortunately chrome has stopped". Ive tried clearing cache/data and uninstalling, neither worked. Did I forget to do something when I flashed this rom? other weird stuff has been happening like I rebooted my phone one time and the wifi wouldn't even turn on and I had to reboot again to get it working.
Every time you cold boot, you need to do a hot reboot to get wifi working.

Close all open notifications
I have tried all the settings in the Statusbar area, and I am not able to find the setting that turns on the "Close All Notifications" functionality that comes stock. It usually is a little "X" that lets you close all the notifications without having to swipe all of them individually.
How do I get the S5 lockscreen widget back after I removed it?

Wiped and installed this ROM and have been loving it. Just had a problem come up lately though and am not sure what to do. Everything is running fine, but it seems that I can't access 4G at all. When I first installed, for a couple days I was connected to 4G constantly. Now, it connects to 3G only even though I know there is a 4G signal available. Anyone experienced this? Please let me know any steps I can do to properly diagnose what is happening and what I should do to remedy the situation.

I had a similar issue on my previous phone, and it turned out my SIM card went bad. Try re-seating the SIM card or see if you can swap cards with someone else to see if that makes any difference.
Phone suddenly reboots and boot loops
Hey,
I am using the AllianceRom with safestrap, AllianceRom installed on stock rom slot. Recently, my phone would suddenly reboot while I am using it, making a call etc, then get stuck in a boot loop until I pulled out the battery, then sometimes it would start up well or get back in a loop.
Any help? Is there a Verizon app doing this?
Still have no 4G using this ROM. Tried reseating the SIM card and it just goes back to 3G. Just odd to me that it would work, then one day randomly turn off 4G and still use 3G. Even if I change the mobile data network to LTE it still says 3G.
Am I able to dirty flash version 2 over version 1?
installing iOS7 (iOS 7_0.apk) theme on stock rom

Phone Crashing
Samsung SM-G900V NE9
At least once a day but usually several times a day my phone will not wake up when pressing the power button or home key. It freezes and the only way to get the phone back on is to hold down the power button and volume down button to reset phone or remove/replace the battery. Can anyone help?
I have the same problem. Recommend you flash stock rom. And monitor it.

Got redirected here.
Finally flashed this after being on an outdated ROM that never got attention.
Noticed couple things, first phone seems to get rather warm while using it (never did before)

Any word on build 3?
Anyone know which setting changes the color for text message content (not the sender, the part of the message itself you are able to read) on the dropdown panel? Its all gray and very hard to read although everything I can find is set to black or white... I can't for the life of me figure out what setting this is but I'd love to be able to read text messages without opening them from my dropdown menu. Any help would be appreciated. Using Textra and Nova Launcher with Color Splash theme in Alliance if that matters any.
I am on this ROM, but still on Baseband Version: G900VVRU1ANCG and Android Version: 4.4.2. Should I update to 4.4.4? Should I go to Baseband Version NE9 or NI2? I want to stay on this ROM for now. How would I go about doing this? Thanks.

This rom only supports NE9 as of now, follow instructions of the OP in the main AllianceRom thread to update.
Wait, What?
Ok, I cant be the only one who read this and is ****ting his pants and crying with tears of joy right? I mean, this is freaking awesome! Only question is when, how, and why isn't this public news anywhere else where others can help. Like open source that **** ASAP!
Theme
How do I get the standard black glass theme for this rom?
Add Toggles
I am trying to add the extra toggles, but I don't have the "Scripts" menu at the bottom of custom settings... (it is not there) do I need to install xposed first? or am I missing something else? I did install build 2... never had an earlier version installed if that makes a difference.

It's a very easy build.prop edit - System - Long Press on Build.prop - Open in text editor - Scroll to the very bottom - Enter - qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Save and exit - Reboot
Just to be clear. If I make that edit it looks like I'll lose function of the hardware keys. How will this edit enable a navigation bar for me?

Try using latest Test-Build from G+.
TWRP latest Version and dont flash thirdparty Kernel.
When 9.0 gets capasitive light off -option? Otherwise great rom used almost 2weeks without any significant issue.
and video playback comes normal when check dev.options to use awesome player on. Any news when ver.10 comes out?
Has anyone with a regular verizon Note 3 tired this? DO I need to have a DEV phone?
Just curious, downloading now, and I was going to try it... Maybe I dont brick?
Great job guys!
Very good and smooth ROM guys ! Thanks for the great work!
I'm n9005 user with the hlte 9.1 version. I can tell you, the cellular is working just fine and now I can use my NFC functions
But I miss my Samsung dialler, there was settings such as "answer with home key", "The power key end calls" and "flip to mute incoming call ringtone". Is there any hidden options that I can't find ? I'll be very happy if you propose some kind of solution for my case
Thanks in advance!

I have flashed this ROM on T-Mobile note 3. I'm surprise how fast this phone really is now. I'm only having two issues with this ROM. When im on call it seems when I have it over the ear the screen turns off like normal but I'm still able to touch the buttons on the screen with my face. Its really annoying cause I could be opening apps or changing my settings randomly. The second one is battery life. The battery dies way too quickly. Hopefully you guys can solve those two problems. Other then those two problems this ROM is fine.
I only have one feature you guys should add and that double tap to wake .
Hello again, I just want to let you know it is a bit disappointing now. Wen I call someone the screen is blanked but I can still press some random buttons. I'm ending the call with my ear or starting some apps. When I really want to talk I'm using the speaker and the call ends with no reason like I press the "end call". Also the bluetooth cause phone to restart after dialing from the paired device. Some other strange thing is that I can't set the random ring tone to my contacts or groups and I need to use a third party soft.
Will latest Dirty Unicorn, trip knox?
Guys n gals.. have read the whole thread and a few more, will the knox counter trip with an install of Dirty Unicorns rom on N9005 hlte handsets with stock roms?
Thanks in advance
USB 3.0 Problems
Hi good sirs,
Am I the only one experiencing a USB 3.0 problem?
With the stock rom when we plug into a USB 3.0 connector we can change the way it operates on the phone, but, in this rom I've found that for me it is impossible to change it.
Maybe I am just dumb or blind cause I couldn't see that option. Can someone help me?

don't work, in this rom :/ some patch or some lib i think need from samsung rom? ty
Hi,
at first, huge thanks to the devs for this ROM ! It really changed my Note ! But I've a bluetooth issue with it. When I'm playing some music trough my bluetooth speakers, it works fine for 20min or so, and then it goes mute. No way to get the sound back. I've to unpair it, and then pair it again. I had the issue with Google Play Music, Spotify and PocketCast.
It's my first custom ROM on this one, so fresh install, wiped everything.
Bluetooth speakers worked fine with stock ROM, and still work fine with my OnePlus One.
I'll try on some other bluetooth speakers tomorrow if I can find some, but I don't think they are the issue here.
Am I the only one to have this bug ? I searched the forum, someone said he had some kind of bluetooth issue as well, but he was using a recording app, which I don't. Actually, I don't have much app that could interfere as it's my work phone, only minimal stuff there.
Any help ?
Softbuttons
Hey i installed your ROM and im pretty happy with it. I'm one that likes to use soft buttons instead of the hardware buttons. it works like charm but is there a way to deactivate the hardware buttons?
Still no 4K?
Will this rom work on retail verizon note 3 running kk?

Instructions for flashing Note 7/S8 ports on Snapdragon thread

I'm not a developer or support any ROMs I just like spreading the good word and helping people when I can. I'm not responsible if your device breaks or you lose data. So make a TWRP backup if you are worried.
This is not a perfect method and it needs improvement so if we can work together and try to fix the issues maybe we can get full support from the OPs' of the note 7 ports.
You must be on MM bootloader, unlocked, rooted, with most recent version of TWRP to ensure everything goes smoothly.
Download most recent Ram Kernel for Verizon:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/orig-development/kernel-ramkernel-t3472138
Download aurora Verizon data fix:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69066109&postcount=2681
Find a Note 7/S8 ROM that you want to try on the snapdragon note 4 thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev
1. Clean install desired ROM (wipe everything 3 times except SD card)
2. Flash datafix
3. Flash kernel
4. Wipe caches and boot into ROM
5. Play around with your new phone lol
If you do not have root for whatever reason download the su zip from nseven thread and flash it in recovery.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/development/note-4-grace-7-t3434155
These ROMs do not support Verizon apps including visual VM and MyVerizon. They also don't support Wi-Fi calling. Check the bugs of the ROM so you know what to expect.
If you are having issues check the original ROM thread for answers or post a question on here and maybe somebody can help.
The bugs that I know so far that are Verizon specific across all ROMs:
- MMS does not work on the stock messenger (*See below for fix)
- Phone FC when the person on the other end hangs up first (really want to figure this one out)
- Texts are sometimes delayed for some reason
Some ROMs might require you flash gapps for some reason so follow the op instructions for the ROM you choose, just ignore any modem or bootloader flashing instructions.
I've tried Norma ROM and Racerom. I've had the best experience with Racerom but that is just my personal preference. Any questions please ask.
Cheers!
Thanks to @chevyrhoads for all his time and effort on nseven. I cannot thank you enough sir! And thanks to all the other developers sharing these great roms, data fix, and kernel for everyone to enjoy.
MMS Fix:
1. Extract others.xml from nseven ROM found in system/csc folder and save it to your SD.
2. Edit the others.xml file and delete everything within the <FeatureSet> tags.
3. Paste this feature within the <featureset> tags:
<CscFeature_Message_ConfigMmsMdnTagName>X-VzW-MDN</CscFeature_Message_ConfigMmsMdnTagName>
and save the changes.
4. Paste the others.xml file in your current ROMs system/csc folder (In my case there was no others.xml file to swap or replace) and change the permissions of the file to 644 and reboot.
5. You should now be able to send MMS on the stock messenger app !
hey i flashed unchanced rom and the data fix + kernel but my phone still reboot if i use data
How did you fix the fc after phone call. Also, my phone shows 3g all the time and my text.mwssafes seem delayed. Im using Verizon note 4 n910v
I tried Race Rom and get a repeated Phone has crashed. I had better luck with the Norma ROM but had severe battery drain and after being off for a while, the phone wont turn back on, requiring a battery pull.
Any suggestions on the best ROM to try?
Sorry for not responded sooner

I cannot figure out what causes the phone fc. Maybe try flashing the 4G fix found on chevyroads nseven thread. I did notice that texts are delayed. After using racerom for a couple of weeks I've been getting reboots, freezes, and some texts not going through for a very long time. I recently flashed RR 7.1.2 but having issues with recording Snapchat videos so I'm probably going to go back to nseven tonight or tomorrow. I will add delayed texts to the bugs list.

From what I see Norma has the most potential on the snapdragon thread but idk after using racerom for weeks it started falling apart on me. I would now honestly recommend using Nseven for a note 7 port. I'm gonna keep this thread open so tinkerers/crack flashers can mess around and report their findings on here and maybe we can get a more stable method.

All of the phone FC's people are experiencing from the Note 4 S7/S8 ports, are due to the method / files along with the porting process to enable the S7/S8 ports to work with the Note 4's.
If you notice, you only receive a FC if the other party hangs up or disconnects first. If you "beat them to the punch" and end the call before the other party does, you won't receive the FC.
Another thing to note; when using a third party app for text messaging such as "Textra" for example. Let's say you are using Textra to text back and forth with someone and suddenly you decide to call them. If you use Textra's built in function to initiate the call, it doesn't matter if you are first or last to end the call, you won't get a FC. I've actually tested that theory out for another developer per their request, and was able to make calls with no FC's regardless of who ends the call first, just by opening Textra, and choosing to call someone from it's built in feature.
Just an FYI...
I'll possibly be taking over all future development for chevyrhoads, in reference to the Nseven ROM per his and my discussion just as soon as I'm back in the states, caught up with all the kids in college and school activities, kiss the wife, and feed the dogs, lol. I'm no android developer, nor am I pretending to be. "I'm only an android enthusiasts, and happy to be one." Retired Senior Software & Security Expert / Software Developer / SEAL, will do my best to keep the Nseven ROM up to date for everyone to enjoy...

Thank you @Android.Ninja ! You made my day with this post. If you need a tester or any assistance please just ask. I'm a decent problem solver lol. Also that is a great find using textra call feature doesn't FC the phone. We must keep these great phone alive!! If it's possible I ultimately would like to create a perfect datafix for all these ROMs so we are free to choose any port. I'm positive it is not as easy as it sounds but it's wishful thinking. I figured out which CSC feature enables mms on the stock messenger. I'll post it in the OP.

That sounds great, referring to the CSC! I'll put you on the Alpha/Beta Testers list as soon as I can. We may be able to get together and create a universal one in all datafix using aroma installer to allow the user to "Select" the ROM they would be using. The only issue would be of there was a major platform upgrade by the developer of the ROM of their choosing, but even so, we could just have it "Null Out" as to not harm or change anything etc. Yup I've got many of these note 4"s best phone for the money IMO.

Anybody experiencing lockups every once and awhile on any of the ports where you need to pull the battery? And when the phone boots up texting does not work until a proper reboot is performed? I was almost late to work today because my phone locked up overnight and that is my alarm lol. I'm back on nseven to see if its the ports or my phone :/
From what I remember this started when I was using resurrection remix 7.1.2 and ever since I've been having lockups on the other n7 ports.

I'm interested in nseven Rom and heard good things about it. Could you suggest it as a daily? I'm on kyubi note 5 port.

That's nice to hear you're on Kyubi, thats my baby. There are some minor-ish issues with nseven, t9 dialing does not work, the auto brightness does the opposite of what it's supposed to do (sunlight dims the screen, darkness makes the screen brighter), fingerprint doesnt work, and always on display causes a brightness issue where you cant control the brightness (just untoggle AOD and brightness can be controlled). And for me I've been having intermittent issues with data where my 4g icon blinks white then dims to grey then back to white nonstop. When this happens I cannot use data until I reboot. Other than that the note 7/s7 software is awesome and everything else works from what I can tell. How's Kyubi running for you? I kinda miss it lol

That's a great analysis bro. Thanks for the feedback I really appreciate it. Kyubi is the best Rom for this phone period. I've tried all of them except nseven but kept coming back to kyubi because of its stability. It's fast, smooth and very good on battery. I missed the note 5 themes which I get here plus the theme store and more. I think kyubi is more of what a stock Rom should have been. I know it's developer is very good, everything works flawlessly, I've had zero issues on it since its almost 9 months that I've been using it. Close your eyes and flash it, it's that good!

I'm on Verizon now and if I get another VZW N4 I'll build a proper N7 or S8 rom with everything working as it should. other than Iris scanner and fingerprint scanner.
But just know that these international port Roms are not setup for the CDMA networks so they will not work right. Even these "fixes" are only partial things that are missing and there's more smali framework edits needed to make them work right. The best option is to build a Rom using the actual VZW software and this will solve most all of these issues. Been there done that with my UN5 and UN7 Roms. I have the S7 edge now but to be honest I'd much rather go back to the N4 running my ported N7 rom so I can have my IR blaster and removable battery. The N4 is the best phone in my opinion.
note 4 is died and is a new way to do this fast and easy
