[rom]-ported-4.3 - Nexus S 4G Android Development

Hi guy's some of you might remember me,I've done a little developing in the past.Anyways to make a long story short.I got tired of waiting on a 4.3 ROM to play around with on my old NS4G so I did a little work and got everyone a 4.3 ROM to play with. I'm not saying I helped or did anything to BUILD this ROM i just edited a ROM posted for the nexus s.All credit goes to cn.fyodor and his thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2410844
Go hit the thanks button for him.
I'm not really into developing anymore i don't even have a machine set up to handle doing this stuff. If someone would like to take this and work out the bugs that be great.
P.S. I justed noticed he has updated to v2 Ill probably make the edits to that and upload at later date.
You take all risk when flashing your phone.Don't cry to me if it breaks.
How to install
-download rom-- aosp-4.3-crespo4g.zip - 118.03 MB
-Boot into recovery
-make a nadroid
-wipe everything
-install rom
-optional download gapps from cn.fyodor post,flash them
-reboot
-issues--
-mobile network should work because my phone does have proper time and date but i don't have it hooked to my account using a GS4 currently
-some settings might FC part of gsm port to cdma.
-flash for the fun of it and tell me.lol

Hey, welcome back!! If memory serves me right, you released the first ics port for nexus s, right? The sdk port?
anyway, thanks for the 4.3 update! I've been trying to find time to do this myself

Flashing now :good:

Thanks for the port. Lost root, but I just flashed superuser in recovery and it was fine. The only problem I encountered was no calls in/out. Otherwise, nice job!

October 17th 2012 CM 9 w/Securecrt ics kernel.

This is my first released CM9 build I'm posting. Everything works.
This is for clk. Magldr coming soon.
Enjoy.

updated
Flash Gapps after for market.
Those new screenshots look delicious
How is the build? I know there is no led when plugged in but thats probably due to the origins of the rom to work on winmo6. i will rework it to lessen the partition size to what a normal CM7 build should be(150/5mb), so please bare with me. Thanks.
Any other issues please report back so i can strive to solve the issues. I had a Motorola Cliq before(still do) and things are way different for this device than that, but i will do my best to bring you a quality build for cLK and also Magldr in the future. Thank you to All.
Cant wait for this rom to be slimmed down to 150mb! Im subscribing to the tread I just dont have the time to flash a new recovery right now.
im working on it now.
Great cant wait! Also not to be demanding, but you should try to include the newest market since its very WP7 looking without needing anything themed. Just an idea.
Is this czar the Legend??? lol Looks great man. Thank you for keeping the hd2 alive!!!!

Hi everyone,
I'm trying this rom right now and I must said everything is good so far. The only thing I've notice is that the g-sensor doesn't work. Yes I've checked in the display settings and still it doesn't work.
Is anybody facing the same issue?

Please bare with me. This was an SD build designed to run from windows so it will get fixed. The initial release and the second were done back to back. So I have to take a break to really check all the bugs.
The second release was slimmed down and a magldr version also. I'm striving to make this a stable build. Thank you for your support.
I am uploading 7.2 it is stable. I listen to everyones problems, ideas and the results a stable build than before.
G sensor fix
led notifications fix(wont stay on after you pull off charger or usb)
Added a full reboot menu( option to go into recovery)
Clk/Magldr will be posted when upload is done.
Thanks to all.

[Q] Rom Recommendations

Hey,
I had a horrible bootloop-infection on my phone today for no reason; maybe its the sign to replace the Rom; i had a milestone 5 from AOKP [ around june WTF??!?) installed and was enjoying it till this day;
I was waiting for the last 4.2 Rom update from AOKP but since no update for the last month i decided to get something new and fresh instead, so thought to come back here and ask you guys thos flash junkies or just people who realy enjoy their current ROM;
I wasnt here for 6 months due to studying in the university so most of the names are new to me in the Development section that's why i realy need the help to choose;
I dont need much only good battery life; option to remove the notification bar and to have the navigation bar transparent or invisible;
Currently sitting with 4.0.2 clean recovery Rom that i made on the start of February o0 build waiting for responses;
Thank you;
Well, I am not using any of these custom ROMs so I am always supporting the idea of going over the main thread of the most popular ROMs in the development section then choosing whatever seems reasonable to you. Try it, then if any complaints then go for another.
If you really want a 4.2 AOKP ROM, then check this
I hope you have a break from the university so you can play with these custom ROMs
Thank you ahmadallica;
I'm studying software engineering so my free time is for sleep only currently thats why i ask for guidance due to the fact i dont have much time to test each Rom;
The Rom you gave looks realy nice from the outside but sounds more of a huge nightly build instead of a stable one, with so many stuff missing and probably he just uses the AOKP frame without adding/updating/changing any stuff moreover the lack of changlog and an overall [work/not work] stuff that the rest of the Rom developers show suggesting its just an amateur one; i really appreciate this dude's hard work but i need something stable for half a year and not to be one of this Rom testers;
Highly recommend paranoid android, been through leads of custom ROMs and I've stuck with this the longest ... give it a go, excellent team and excellent ROM

Paranoidandroid is definitely the way to go. The new version is still in beta but almost completely stable in my opinion. Themes are hit or miss at this stage of the ROM but yes, you can adjust the colors for the navbar, statusbar, navigation icons and statusbar icons within each app. It can be found in settings/paranoidpreferences/apps.
I've been using this rom since v1.98, it's now at 2.99 BetaNINE and I have not looked at anything else.
*Sidenote, PA used to be CM based up until version 2.54, starting with 2.99 Beta1 it is now AOSP based for a smoother and faster experience with better battery life. This is why some features are not yet added back and other things are not fully perfected (i.e. themes).
The problem with themes is that with every new Beta of PA comes some new code and the themers cannot always keep up with every new release so a lot of themes end up causing issues. I would just customize as I recommended above for now and once AOSPA 3.0 is released PA will be out of beta and easier to find compatible themes.
Yes you can adjust the colour of the status bar and nav bar for each app individually from with the hybrid engine within the rom... Most play store themes support it too... anything else just let me know

Thank you dankblaze for all that info;
I realy dont need that much of customization just that all bars/system/screens be with the same color and to be able to adjust that 1 color myself;
Is that possible in the new 2.99 or should i get the 2.54?

Personally, I like TWRP so check this on how to install it easily. Take note that if you have CWM nandroid backups then they will NOT be compatible with TWRP because it has its own nandroid backups.
As for kernel, just try them till you find a suitable one
Thx bro, i might give it a try tho is there something wrong staying with CWM ? i dont care much for the backups im gonna format it anyway. but i read inside you say it not for Gnex and thats its only for the Nexus 4? is that true?

No no. That was for the other member in that thread who was mentioning a Nexus 4 version. TWRP works on both of them. Basically just download the Goo Manager app then it will install the correct version automatically just follow the steps to save some time for your software engineering studies
I will copy the steps below so you don't have to worry about that link in my previous post.
1- Run GooManager app
2- Click on the upper right 3 dots for settings
3- Click "Install OpenRecoveryScript"
4- Confirm Recovery Install --> Yes
5- Confirm download, reboot, and install --> Yes
6- A download process will start then it will be installed
7- (Optional) Reboot into recovery to ensure that TWRP is successfully installed and working.
And no there is nothing wrong with CWM, I just personally like TWRP
If you are staying with CWM, then just update it to the latest version before installing any 4.2 ROM. I think installing/flashing the latest CWM recovery can be done easily using the "ROM Manager" application from the Play Store
Jb sorcery latest is great and has every tweak you can think of, very stable and they have inverted gaapps!!!

I recommend using TWRP. There were some problems with multiple media folders being created when flashing with CWM. I know latest TWRP did not have this problem. Don't know if latest CWM still does this or not.

What I would like is a simple ICS rom, but there are none!

Yep.
I just wish there was stock ICS for the HOV. Vanilla ics rom is close but it still has sense left over.
cm9 is far too unstable, and all my attempts at flashing various roms of JB are instable/not daily driver ready.
There don't seem to be any truly usable roms for this device. Stock sense is the only build in which everything works.
It's either one thing or another. If the camcorder works, the build might not work with simple apps like voxer. If voxer works, then mms won't work. If JB runs perfectly stable, then maybe the camcorder doesn't work. Does a rom that works without bugs like this exist? Here are a list of things I would need in a daily driver rom:
1. Camcorder- I'm a skater and I like to film fun edits of me and my hoodrat friends doing hoodrat things on our skates.
2. MMS - Such a simple necessity.
3. App compatibility -It drives me crazy when my important apps like voxer, instagram, facebook, and launchers lag badly or crash every time I open them
4. LAG - this is why I can't upgrade to JB, I thought provision Rom was AMAZING until I started using my apps (see #3)
5. Simple Multitasking
6. Random reboots - doesn't bother me too much but I could see it happening in some situation where I would need the phone immediately and have to try and explain to someone that "Herp, muh super custom droid phone likes to reboot so you'll just have to wait."
So far the only thing I can think of doing is building a stock ics rom (which I have no idea how to do). Any tips, first timer here.
Right now I just flashed back to stock and am going to run the de-sense tool. Why must OEMs ruin everything we love?
I hate to complain like this and I'm very glad there are devs working on the problems I describe. I guess I'm just venting my frustration. I love this phone but I have spent so much time trying to get a stock android experience that works. I would just buy galaxy nexus or an S3 but I'm a college and pre-paid cheap phones are the only way to fly right now, man. Sorry to sound so negative throughout the post but these are simply my observations in contrast with my needs and wants.
BTW first post on here. Don't hate me plz.

Exactly cm9 is 100% stable. Do a fill wipe before you flash
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
ok thanks! The only cm9 I could find was on the cdma dev forum and it said a number of things including the camcorder didn't work.
...and then I googled it and found exactly what I needed. Flashing now. We'll see how this works. Was there something I'm missing? I looked at this one [CDMA/PRIMOC][ROM] Unofficial CM9 for PrimoC Beta
480p video recording kind of suck but it'll have to do I guess.
Before u go knocking on peoples stuff how about u make a effort to fix it ur self and u can't say well I don't know how. Well sir u know that little company that bought android os yea sell they Also have a easy to use search bar and so does this little site u are on
And last how about u try and talk to the developers by posting in threads and asking if thus is a problem or even try p.m the developers the problem and I know that for sure u never messeaged me about a application messing up on our provisions rom
Thanks for using provisions ROM and do remember have a nice day.

Don't know about comatibility/stability. Using CM10 from Lloir and works flawless for me, and yes, I'm using mms, camcorder, apps of a wide range, and yes, this is my primer and only phone, so I can say that it is stable too. Only camcorder problem I found that autofocus is somehow misbehaving in video recording.
Full wipe is essential for stability if you flash a rom that is based on something else, than the last one you used. I even erase sometimes the sdcards android and secure partitions if must. I tried Lloir's slimbean just this morning and seems promising enough, really thinking about to change to that rom permanently.
Full wipe means:
Factory reset (this will delete cache and dalvik cache - this will also remove the .android_secure folder)
Wipe system
Flash rom
Flash the correct kernel in bootloader
Reboot your phone
Voila, rom without any issues at all!
Don't tell me you did all these and you still have problems with JB and other custom roms. I just don't buy it. Everyone here that uses a custom rom are so enthusiastic about them, they don't even wanna get back on sense. I am having Paranoid Android on my One V from the moment I started making the rom for us, since August. From then onwards, I've only used this rom. I don't think that there are any kind of instability with it, because I test my roms before releasing them so if it was unstable, why should've I used it for more than 4 months now?

1. I do all those. This is is my third android device. I used to have a galaxy tab 2 rom'd with cm10 and it was awesome. But even it had some problems with app compatibility. I got my learning in on that device. I nearly bricked it 3-4 times haha.
2. We use our phones differently. There are probably a ton of apps I use and a ton you don't. I know for sure that draw something is incompatible with JB itself.
I'll probably flash PA soon if some issues pop up with the cm9 build I'm using now.
Draw something is compatible with jellybean no doubt since I installed it on my HOV and it works.

[S][DEV-ONLY]HTC Sense

This isn't another one of those 'can somebody port Sense' threads.​
Please note that this thread is for developer-oriented discussion. If you don't have anything to say to help development, please refrain from posting here.
Also note that ideas are welcome. Just check if the idea you're about to post has already been posted by somebody else.
Right now, it's just multiple people working on this. No team, just individuals.
As of the last edit of this post, there has been little to no progress:
I'm constantly working on builds. The current, and the only goal I'll be striving towards as of now is using a T-Mo HTC One X ROM in combination with RaymanFX's CM10.1 RC2 build.
XDA RC @abcdjdj has reported that he has fixed a lot of errors in his build, and is now stuck at the bootanimation. If you can help him in any way, here is what's wrong with his build. He's using FXP's CM9 as a base and a 4.0 HTC One X with Sense 4 ROM as a port.
The OP will constantly be updated with any progress anyone makes.
We're currently using this XDA thread to help us port the ROM.
--------------------------------
​Here's everything I have to share on my build:
PORT: HTC One X, T-Mobile Edition| Android 4.2.2
BASE: Sony Xperia S, nozomi | Android 4.2.2
------------------------
ITesters needed. If you can work through adb commands and can provide me with logcats, please leave a post about it in the thread.
And finally, a note to anyone that may be cursing me for working so very slow (because I admit, this is very slow):
Please understand that all this isn't easy for me. I have painfully slow internet, making each download at least one hour, and thus a pain. My time on this project is limited every day, so progress is slow.

Okay, so this is the work that has already been done and some of the mysteries that puzzle me right now:
I've edited the CM9 kernel's ramdisk, like stated in the tutorial I'm using (see post 1). As of now, the kernel itself is broken and even if the ROM was complete, not even the booting would work. (Well, booting works as far as showing the boot logo (the green FXP one) goes. But the LED notification light for entering recovery doesn't light. Bootloop over and over...)
Many of the lib files intended to be copied from one lib folder to the other are missing on our Nozomis... My question is, what are the consequences...?
My main issue here is that the zip won't flash. The recovery (no matter which I choose) just returns an 'ERROR' and refuses to flash the file...
Another question would be how to repack an .elf kernel into a boot.img. Because now, I'm trying with letting the CM9 kernel in the zip (since it is an .img) and then flash the modified .elf kernel that I repacked with Flashtool. Inefficient, but at least there's a way.
So currently, the priority list would be:
1.Get zip to flash
2.Fix kernel
...Not necessarily in that order. We could fix the kernel first, but there isn't much gain to it if the ROM zip can't even be flashed to test if it truly works...

Bro, it may be possible to get Sense on our devices. Even I have been working on getting Sense booted on our device. My status:-
PORTED FROM - HTC ONE X
BASE - FXP 215 CM9
STATUS - Gets past kernel and even loads bootanimation. Fixed many errors in the logcat. Gets stuck at bootanimation and even displays a message saying that System is not responding, would you like to close it.
I couldn't manage to fix any more errors in the logcat so I gave up but you have rekindled my spirit to get Sense booting on out device. I will upload my rom soon along with the logcat.
Cheers,
abcdjdj
Wow, you actually got the thing to boot?
The only question is how did you manage that based off of a tegra CPU? Would be very interested in seeing that...
On a not-so-very related note, your port was of ICS and Sense 4 , correct?
Am I the only one around here that favors old software?

Not fully booting but I think close to booting. I followed the guide mentioned by you in the OP and one by one eliminated all errors that I could eliminate. I had been working on Sense for around a month during my school holidays but now I am not getting any free time. And yes it is Sense 4 (Android 4.0.4).

But isn't the Tegra3 completely different than our FUJI board?
Especially the graphics, those must be out of control on your ROM...
If I were you, I'd at least take the AT&T version of the HOX.
Oh yeah, I forgot to ask: is it the same if I try and port from a MSM8260 board (the same as the Xperia) and the later S4 Qualcomm versions (used in the Xperia T, AT&T One X etc.)? Because porting from a CDMA phone (HTC Rezound) seems to make the work harder...
Thankfully, my summer holidays have just begun, so I have plenty of free time (that's also the reason I started my project).
P.S.
Yeah, maybe that's exactly what I should do. Ditch the CDMA phone and start with the Snapdragon S4 One X!
I would prefer Sense 3.x, but oh well, at least Sense4 is also Sense
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/sense-4-ported-to-sony-xperia-devices/
I just found this. It's not even that old...

This development stuff gets boring pretty quick when you do it for the 10th time

Well, I thought I'd make this thread so that devs could help each other to actually work together and create a working Sense ROM. So naturally, all help is welcome from anyone.
Anyways, I'm on my way to finishing yet another try, this time with the AT&T One X. Fingers crossed that it at least makes it to the bootanimation.
EDIT: I see that the easiest way to get Gapps is with including the default /data folder from the original HTC ROM (with vending, youtube etc.). But I have to add that to the updater-script. So, I want to ask, is /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 the data partition on the Nozomi?

I am porting [or trying to port] Sense 4 from HTC One X to Xperia S. I used FXP 214 CM9 as a base. I followed this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245786
Then I fixed as many errors as I could by checking the logcat and got it till the Bootanimation. But now I need help to get it to boot. So, I have attached the logcat from my latest build.
Thanks for your help,
abcdjdj
Maybe copying a few more files could help. Maybe act like your xperia is a HTC device? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1222746
Could be worth a try and play with this copying a bit...
Seems to be failing at dalvik; very strange, it doesn't show any major errors on first glance however I'll take a longer look at when I can, however I can link you to this thread that may help you in the meantime Porting
What about this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2276871
Nice and automated, but the question is, will it work?
I'm trying it with the HOX, just need to wait for it to copy to the phone...
All this seems like a big race -- who will get it working first? Hyped!
Kinda makes me wish I still had my xperia S I could have given this a real good go at; but instead I have a galaxy s4, so it's going to be mostly logcats and such I can help with, I don't like blind building things; made that mistake before.
A blind build is better than no build. Unless it makes bricks...
Thanks a lot for helping out.
Though I'll never understand how a pro HTC dev can go to Sony and then Samsung. ;P
I just hope THIS time my kernel will boot... Cause if it doesn't ... [censored]...
EDIT: Okay, [censored] is happening... Why can't I make this zip flash? I've done it a million times, but all I get is ERROR... ;-;
unfotunatly, i'm not a dev. but i really like the idea. specially if considering porting htc one sense version to our nozomi. i think it would fit like a glove

[ROM] [ULTIMATE Note 5 Hybrid] [N920PVPS2AOK3] [Stock] [v1.2] [updated 3/14/2016]

After months, weeks, days and hundreds of hours of long & tedius work, I introduce the first properly ported Note 5 rom for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 4!!! With all of the current N5/S6 ports out there that have various major issues, I set out on a mission to conquer and masterfully port the Note 5 software version N920PVPS2AOK3. This has been a long hard journey to say the least. I have spent countless amounts of time on this and i'm quite confident that no other developer has taken as much time and devotion to a rom project as I have with this one. I guarantee there is no other Note 5 rom out there that operates and functions as flawless as this rom. Period. With great pride and a sense of accomplishment, I officially announce a new era of roms for the Sprint Note 4! (and possibly other variants in the future)
Before we get started, please take note: I do NOT give permission for anyone to use any portion of this rom in any other public rom projects. Period. My work here IS and should be considered THE authority of Note 5 ports without question. The proof is in the rom and it speaks for itself. Others will likely steal my work here and try to pass it off as their own work. I promise you that nobody would be able to port the N5 rom like this on their own in such short amount of time after this official release. I guarantee this will happen and I also guarantee that nobody else (aka rom chef/developer) here in the XDA Note 4 forums or any other tech site has contributed nor done any of the work & procedures to properly port their N5 roms. So be informed from this day forward that any future Note 5 roms that pop up here on XDA or elsewhere will most likely be using my work and formula without my permission or proper credit. Any other N5 based rom that is based on my work here that is approved by me WITH my permission will be stated as such in that rom thread's OP with a link to this official thread. If there is no credit given in the rom's OP it is being reproduced and shared WITHOUT my permission or approval.
WARNING!​
This is a public warning to select individuals who are known to steal and "kang" other people's work. Do not even think about trying to copy or redistribute my roms or my work here! I WILL know if my rom/files are being used in other publicly shared rom projects. There is no way anyone can avoid me finding out. So don't make a fool of yourself in front of millions of XDA members around the world by trying to pull off an amazingly perfected N5 port rom as "your work" that you have downloaded and used without my approval or permission and place in your op that nobody has permission toy use "your" work. This is immature and flat out WRONG.. The way we do things here at XDA is very simple. Ask for permission to use other peoples' work and absolutely give them the credit that they truly deserve. However, due to the high number of "copycat" roms here on XDA I am publically announcing here and now that NOBODY has my permission to copy, mimic or reproduce the work in this rom or any of my future N5 ports. Period. I have been forced to make this decision by the actions of others.
Let's be respectful to one another and avoid you getting your reputation destroyed and XDA membership suspended or banned for these kind of immature actions. I absolutely WILL be watching along with many other people here at XDA. I will immediately report suspicious new rom threads once I have the information I need to verify that you stole my work. People are almost always willing to share their hard work with you if you just give them the credit they deserve. If this is beyond your way of thinking then you don't belong in this community and nobody will ever respect you or your work. That is NOT how the evolution of XDA developers works. Yes android is opensource and I understand all of that. That is not the point. The issue is moral and ethical and has nothing to do with opensource. You have been warned!
Now that's all out of the way let's get straight to business! First and foremost I want to Thank all of my friends and testers
here at XDA who have helped with testing and just being all around good friends. I will list these people below. Secondly I want to thank the many developers here at XDA that have contributed so much over the years. Without these specific people we would not be able to build or flash custom roms! Again, their credits will also be found below. Now let's get to the rom shall we?
About ROM​Warning: This ROM is ONLY for the Sprint SM-N910P!!! DO NOT FLASH THIS ROM ON ANY OTHER MODEL!!! If you do then please don't ask for help in this thread. You are on your own! Know what you are doing before flashing and modifying your phone!!! Yes this is an amazing rom BUT it is for the Sprint network model SM-N910P ONLY!!! Please resist the urge to flash this rom on any other model. This is your fair warning.
Initial Release: v1.0
This is a "stock" build with no mods other than XtremeMusic audio technologies by @androidexpert35
Fully deodexed framework and system apps
Root by @Chainfire
Busybox
Init.d support
Native Hotspot unlocked. (you can update prl and profile without breaking hotspot)
100% Sprint Note 5 framework and system apps.
100% Sprint Note 4 system files for hardware & feature dependecies. Are we sensing a pattern here???
Absolutely ZERO international or non Sprint specific N4/N5 rom files where used in the making of this rom!
This rom is guaranteed to bring new life into your Note 4 and make you love it again.
Software version: N920PVPS2AOK3/N910PVPS4COK1 A true "Hybrid"
Kernel: Official Samsung N910PVPS4COK1 with root enabled by @freeza
Rom package Includes the latest OK1 modem & apn's that will flash along with the rom.
Features​This is a stock rom running the stock samsung kernel. Nothing has been done to the rom that would break features or cause any other kinds of undesirable results. Although there are no significant problems in the rom, I do plan to continue making fine adjustments with libraries etc in order to make this rom as pefect as I can. Afterall it is a port and many things have to be done precicely for the smoothest and most trouble-free operation of the rom. Currently this rom is amazing. In the future it will be even more amazing. Rom includes all working features of the Sprint Note 5 software version N920PVPS2AOK3.
(No broken S6 Edge features will be included at this time until all of it's features are fixed)
All pre-installed Samsung apps have been updated to their latest versions as of the release date of this rom. This is why the rom is larger than your average rom. Some 64 bit apps can't be installed from the Galaxy apps store, therefore I have converted and pre-installed the latest versions of SNote, SNote Extension, SNote add-ons etc. Please be aware that If you delete or uninstall some of these specific apps, you will not be able to install them again from the Galaxy apps store. So back them up first!
Removed Itson
Removed Knox and related apk's & libs/modules
Removed Sprint bloat installer and sprint ID
Removed WhatsAppDownloader
Removed Facebook and facebook feature apps (can be downloaded from google Play)
Removed GameOptimizer (does not function on the Note 4's hardware without modifications. not important.)
Removed Lookout (can be downloaded through Google Play or Sprint Zone app)
Removed Samsung Kies (the stock preinstalled N5 Kies.apk does not function on our Note 4 so the latest version will need to be installed from Galaxy apps store)
Removed Samsung Pay and Payment Framework apk's (they are useless on rooted roms since they don't work if you have a rooted system or have tripped knox flag)
Replaced the Note 5 VoiceNote app with the Note 4's OK1 Voice Notes app because it supports the Note 4's 3 mics and has multiple recording scenarios unlike the Note 5 version. It's better.
Default notification panel toggles updated with additional toggles Samsung decided to hide from us.
(only functioning toggles are included. many of the extra toggles do not actually work because the features have been disabled or is for a different device/carrier)
Added the following apps:
Peel Smart Remote ( Why not? The Note 4 has a IR blaster unlike the note 5 )
Backup app
GifMaker app (is an add-on feature for the stock Samsung photo gallery and can be found in the stock gallery's menu)
Samsung fonts package (can be accessed from fonts settings. There's a lot so it takes a few seconds to load them all. when you open fonts settings be patient, they will load)
Video Editor full version (I fixed the internal linking from the stock samsung video app so it will take you straight to the video editor when pressing "edit" for a video)
Added Features:
XtremeMusic v7.0 by: @androidexpert35
Dolby ATMOS
Known issues:
This is the list of known minor issues upon initial release. Some are beyond my control.
non-issue but will mention... Sprint Zone will fc during initial rom setup. it is looking for the bloat installer and ID apps which are removed
FM radio is broken (I plan to finish solving this problem in the future as I have a good sense of direction to solve this )
World clock tab in the clock app does not work. (I know the cause of this problem and will try to fix it another time)
Some Samsung apps (specifically 64bit versions) cannot be updated through Samsung galaxy app store. This is to be expected and they will fail to install. Please consider this before you remove any stock samsung apps!
Did i miss anything? I think that's about it! Please report any issues or bugs if you find something. Also PM me so your report doesn't get overlooked.
Changelog​***v1.0 Initial release (rom features listed above)***
***v1.1 (No longer available. Nothing to see here.)
***v1.2
Removed all audio mods
Fixed stock samsung audio
Fixed highest volume audio bug
Fixed Samsung SoundAlive (however the bass knob in SoundAlive has a bug where bass will drop if you turn it to the left. Leave it centered for the best results)
Added S6 Smart Manager
Fixed World Clock
Updated all apps
Fixed GPS issue
Rebuilt the entire rom and made underhood adjustments as needed
Flashing instructions:​Before you flash this rom you absolutely MUST be running the latest OK1 software for the Sprint Note 4 with the latest bootloader as well as having your phone fully activated. While on the stock un-rooted OK1 rom, you will need to go to Settings/System updates and update PRL then update Profile. Reboot your phone and then go to Settings/Activate this device and launch it to properly activate your phone on the sprint network. Once this completes, make sure data, calls and gps works as it should. Once everything is activated and working, then proceed with the flashing instructions below. If you ignore these requirements please expect issues and don't ask for help until you do these initial steps.
You can either take the ota updates in order on your phone via OTA updates, or use odin to flash the software in order of release until you are fully updated. OTA updates on your phone are installed differently than odin packages therefore you may only have to take one or two updates to become current. The OTA updates run scripts to patch your current rom unlike odin tar packages that completely write the entire partition replacing everything clean. I will not go into great detail about that here. I have covered this many times in my other threads so if you aren't sure then do some searching here in the Note 4 forums.
***Before you flash any rom, please make sure your battery has at least 50% charge***​
Lets begin...
1. Download the rom
2. Check the MD5!!! Use a MD5 checksum tool on your pc or phone (Google is your friend)
3. Copy the downloaded rom to your phone's internal storage or micro-sd card
Note: It has become apparent to me that if you are coming from another custom rom. especially another port rom, that you MUST also wipe your internal storage. Left over data from other roms do cause major problems! So if you want the best trouble-free experience with this rom, i highly recommend that you backup anything you need from you internal storage and wipe it in recovery. You should do this before placing this rom on your internal storage or else put the rom zip on your micro-sd card.
4. Backup anything you need to backup from your internal storage and copy it to your pc or sd-card (DO NOT RESTORE BACKED UP APPS! INSTALL THEM FRESH FOR THE BEST TROUBLE-FREE EXPERIENCE!)
5. Reboot to TWRP custom recovery. Press "Wipe". Do the "Factory Reset" several times then go into "Advanced Wipe" options and wipe Dalvic Cache, System, Data, and Cache several times.
6. Go to recovery home screen and select "Install" and select the rom that you have already copied to your phone in step 3 above.
7. Install the rom and the script will prompt you when it is finished flashing. WAIT!!! DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE YET!!!
***THE NEXT STEP IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!! It is done in order to clear the phone's current battery stats and prepare the phone for proper battery calibration***
***If you skip this step you will possibly have incorrect and misread battery capacity by your phone and will result in incorrect battery capacity problems*** Trust me. Do as I say and you will be perfectly fine.
8. While still in recovery go back to the recovery homescreen and select "Reboot" then "Power Off".
9. With your phone powered off remove your battery. With the battery removed press and hold the power button for AT LEAST 20 seconds then release it.
10. Replace the battery and power on your phone. If the phone reboots into recovery then simply press "Reboot" then press reboot "System".
11. The initial boot process will take around 10 minutes or so. Just be patient. It will boot.
12. Once the phone has booted and you see the setup wizard screen, select your language then press the botton to continue to the next step. STOP HERE!
***THE NEXT STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!***
13. Stop at the wifi setup screen!!! Turn wifi off or leave it on, it doesn't matter. But STAY ON THIS SCREEN until your Sprint data has fully connected or else you will
not be able to sign into your accounts and the setup wizard will not be happy.
14. Once you have a data connection continue through setup wizard as usual.
That's it! You're done!

My phone works data works and mms works but my phone won't activate either. I followed it to the letter, I'm not new to this. I wiped everything except my external and pulled the battery and waited for my lte signal. Everything works like a charm though. Can't update prl cause it goes to the hands free activation screen again and fails.

Okay so I re downloaded the COK1.tar and ROM just in case I had a bad download. I wiped EVERYTHING 6 times, rebooted into download mode, Odin'd COK1, let it activate, set it up as a new device and did no restores or back ups, took the PRL/Profile updates, flashed TWRP, followed instructions to the T. Everything is working smooth like before, i'll update on battery life in a couple hours.

I would like for everybody to treat this new thread with the same respect that you have in my other rom threads. Help one another, offer tips, advice and whatever you can to new comers. I also would like for everybody to know that my test/ support team are here to help when they can. They are listed in the credits at the bottom of the OP. Ofcourse anybody can offer help here. Thanks everybody. Enjoy your new rom! I'm confident I can relax now and not have to worry about bugs and fixes and that familiar scenario with improper porting. Say bye bye to those days.
