[All working except call audio and BT] [Nougat] [MM and LP bootloader] Desolation ROM - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development

Hello XDA, I have been working on an Aosp-ish nougat rom for our beloved trltetmo. It has nearly no features yet, since it's an AOSP ROM. I'm a Nexus dev, and just recently started working on the trltetmo because I bought one. I had a marshmallow rom and kernel(but tend not to release stuff to anyone to avoid drama and the eta requests).
Downloads: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=111459
I have uploaded my work to GitHub: http://github.com/TrlteNougat
For now until I get my gpu back, you have to flash this kernel for MM bootloader support: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862667083
Known issues:
- Camera is wonky. It's going to be difficult to fix
- The phone acts like it's a dual sim phone, no usability is sacrificed, it just shows two APN settings and the carrier on Dialer
Features:
None yet, it's AOSPish
What is being worked on:
Bluetooth
Call audio (mixer_path issues)

The kernel source is up: https://github.com/TrlteNougat/kernel_samsung_trlte/commits/n7.0

Manifest located here: https://github.com/TrlteNougat/manifest

Nice! Subscribed.

Test build
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24723757092306996

This one doesn't reboot randomly. Still has ril and Bluetooth errors. Sound doesn't work. Camera does.

I m not dev. But great to see work on 7 ...cheers to all devs...hoping for a stable one soon thx again

I'm keeping my eye on this thank you

Ril is now partially working. I can send and receive texts. Calls cause a soft reboot, but shouldn't be hard to fix. Still no data connection yet, but that'll be fixed soon enough. Wifi connects but doesn't access internet for some reason. I haven't looked into that any.

Because why not

improper bootloader and in some cases modem can cause Wi-Fi to behave similar to how you have described. I'm not a TMO user but I think there should be several versions newer than OK2
if you have any desire to return to 5.1.1 or keep the option open to do it in the future, you may want to steer clear of the newest 2 or so bootloaders as they may prohibit further downgrading. if TMO is anything like Sprint, anything PE2 and older should still permit downgrades. newer versions I have not tested or seen any info on the topic.

[QRCODE][/QRCODE]ok I did a quick check and you are in fact on a 5.1.1 modem. I don't know if you've updated your bootloader but I get the feeling you would know if you have or not lol
all TMO MM firmware is newer than the Sprint firmwares (PB5, PC1, PD1, PE1, PE2) that I know to not prohibit downgrades, so you're on your own there.
if you believe the test builds to be compatible with the Sprint model, I'd be happy to help test as time allows for it

910T can be downgradable to DOK2 but not below that (unless you use work around and flash 910T2 firmware, which will allow you to go to 4.4.4 BL , and still can come back to latest) but thats a different story, regardless of that , however , you can anytime switch among DOK2 to PE3 to PG2 in any order. I think android N for 910T should be tested on EPG2 and not on DOK2 , atleast should give it a try on EPG2. I think the dev @USA-RedDragon , already must have tried all bootloaders and basebands , i m just replying to above posts.

I tried EPE3 on mm but got too frustrated with the issues. So I've been weary to try it again. But you do have a point that I should try with newer bl/modem combos. I've got a mm rom compatible with epe3, so I might as well flash that. The Odin files are on my desktop staring me down

Side note, the logs point to something bring wrong wkth the code and not a bl/modem -> rom compatibility. But I could be wrong. Never hurts to try

to make it easier ,why dont you just flash EPG2 BL and CP using odin (as opposed to entire MM rom) .and see if it fixes any of the issues with current N build.

Eh. I have other devs at my disposal. Most don't use XDA, and I tend to not either, but this(like any major version bump on a Samsung) is a big endeavor, so I made the thread for people to jump in if they wanted

willing to put in on bounty for getting custom stock kernel on unlocked variants?

I love lg stock roms but love to have more control of the kernel and was hoping we could get a bounty to get a great kernel dev like dorimanx or if you guys have any other great devs in mind...G4 is a great device and I'm more than willing to donate if anyone is interested...Thanks!
There is already an early stock custom kernal available. dev is working on the Cyanogenmod Rom also.

Fair enough, I didn't know you had the H811. Though I'm sure Mythops234 will be more than willing to look at other devices once CyanogenMod is into at least a beta state. Why not send him a PM.

I might talk to him once cm stabilty comes...they are busy enough without me asking more of them
When I get home from Saudi Arabia I can put together a nice stock custom kernel. It was on my list of things to do, but I have been hung up on getting a deodexed rom base going. Its proving to be a major pain in the ass. 64 bit isn't being very cooperative and coupled with the weird mounts and other generally weird crap with this phone afaik everyone working on traditional zip flashable roms are running into the same issues. I suppose I can put that on the back burner and make a kernel... I wont be home for another week or 2 though.

Safe ROMs for unlocked boot loader?

I understand there are no safe MM ROMs once the boot loader is unlocked.
Other than that, can we install any of the ROMs for DE devices without worry?

"Safe ROM?" I'm not sure I follow your question.
I would not take the recently released Marshmallow OTA. It will relock your bootloader. And while you might be able to roll back to 5.1.1 and re-root, for me it's simply not worth the hassle. The .tar files developers need to make a Marshmallow ROM for our Verizon phones should be out any day. Give the wizards a week or so after that to whip up their magic. That's one option.
Another option would be to amble on over to the generic Note 4 forum, where there is a healthier ROM development environment. Many of these ROMs will work with your 5.1.1 bootloader and modem. The basic drill for making one of these ROMs work is to ignore the directions for flashing updated bootloaders and modems, flash the basic ROM and any fixes, then apply one of louforgiveno's data fixes. Stick with ROMs developed for N910F/G models.
My personal Marshmallow favorite... it's the only ROM I've tried other than CM13... is Dr. Ketan's. It has elements of both the Note 5 and S7. Does it have all of the newest goodies of the OTA such as Wifi calling? Nah. Since I don't really need it, I don't miss it. But everything I need for it to work does. Your mileage may vary.
Happy ROMing!
If your question is "can I install any of the ROMs meant for a DE on my retail Note 4" the answer is yes. I've tried PaulPizz, CM13, Kyubi, and Dr. Ketan and got them all to work on my phone. You just need to make sure you download all of the proper files and thank the devs. If any MM ROMs do come they will be listed in the "Android Development Section" along with all of the other ROMs that work on this device (retail or DE).
I'm pretty sure what the OP means is that for all those like me who have the Retail SM-N910V, it would be nice to compile a list of all working ROMs for our phones and what methods of installation were used. You have your ROMs that were installed via Odin and ROMs that were installed via TWRP. I'm not sure what the difference is, other than with TWRP you can install more than one ROM, right? Additionally, we want to make sure we're all using the correct files, that is, at least avoid the ones from Verizon that will probably re-lock our phones.

Follow the link to the generic Note 4 forum. Go to the Snapdragon subforum. Pick a ROM. Do not flash the bootloader or modem if the instructions say to. Just flash the ROM and any fixes. Go to louforgiveno's thread with the data fixes. Pick the appropriate fix and flash. The Nameless ROM at quick glance looks like a fairly unmodified Marshmallow TouchWiz ROM. Most of the others are ports, mostly Note 5 and S7 marriages.

If you dabble in this ROM flashing game long enough, you'll find that often not everything works as it should. Flashing doesn't go as smoothly as we'd like, and sometimes some of the features don't work properly or at all. Forced closes and random reboots are also part of the frustrations.
It all works out to a risk/benefit analysis. Will I be happier with my phone being able to customize it further? Will the new features gained outweigh the features lost? On the Dr Ketan's ROM that I'm using, the fingerprint sensor doesn't work properly. I don't miss it since I wasn't happy with the way it worked originally. I've had his ROM on my phone for over a week with the only hiccups being self induced. Recovering my backup makes everything all new and shiny again.

Which version did you flash for Dr. Ketan rom? I am on cm 13 now would like to try dr. ketan, i am a little bit unsure on the exact directions for the 910v from what I have read though as long as don't flash any bootloader files and apply the data fix I should be fine I can always flash back. Question is do i use F or G download for the rom, and what specific order do i have to flash the rom, h-vitamin, and data fix? any help would be appreciated.

So long as you're still on the 5.1.1 bootloader, you can use any version of Dr Ketan's ROMs. I was using the M5 version. I haven't tried this ROM or any of the other Snapdragon variants since I upgraded to the 6.0.1 bootloader. From what I've read people have not been able to get data and wifi to work.
The drill to install Dr Ketan's ROMs is to backup your working setup using recovery, wipe Dalvik/ART, cache, system, and data, flash the ROM, the M5 fix, boot into the ROM but don't sign in to Google or Samsung. Go back to recovery and flash louforgiveno's M3 data fix. (I haven't checked into his thread lately and he may have a fix for M5. Dr Ketan rolled back his base which is why the M4 fix doesn't work.) Boot into the ROM, sign in to Google/Samsung as needed and profit.
Note: I didn't see any provision for HD/wifi calling in Dr Ketan's ROM which seems to be important to a lot of people. I also haven't been to the thread in about a week to see if there's a M6.

Hope you can work it out. I tried every data fix and kernel in every conceivable combination, and nothing worked. I asked louforgiveno if he'd look into it, and he responded he'd have to swap in all the 6.0 stuff into a new data fix for us, so I hope that meant yes! He has been so helpful to all the different note 4 variants.

Sorry but what are you on about? Android 7.0 hasn't even been released for this device yet....
This is all well and good but as stated by Alex Android 7 isn't out for S6 edge + yet. And I'm pretty sure when it does come out it will change the boot loader and reverting back to 6.0.1 will cause imei and baseband loss.

I was on Nougat multiple times (Khongloi S7 port ROM and DevBase 7.0 ROM modifications), returning to MM was as easy as going to TWRP and flashing a MM ROM, without any bootloader business involved... In my case I simply flashed the V15 Note 7 port by Khongloi, and I was back on MM without any bugs or problems. And if you didn't notice, the firmware in this guide includes a bootloader, so even in the case of the bootloader changing with Nougat, there would be no issue reverting back. I've downgraded my Note 4 from Marshmallow to Kitkat multiple times (for testing purposes), and it's as easy as doing the same steps that are provided in this guide
Go down to the development section, you can see that there are multiple Nougat ROMs that exist for this device already, all based on a leaked base ROM that was meant for app developers. The ROM is nowhere near to finished, it drains battery and the performance is poor, and for that reason many users will consider downgrading, and this thread works for that purpose

No, the performance and battery life ratio really is worse in the ROM, it doesn't benchmark even close to stock MM and battery drains fast on some occasions

This might be due to the fact that they are ports of 7.0.
Im just warning people that update to official when it comes out that it has been known that it updates files that once done cannot be reverted back or it will cause problems, one being the null baseband/imei.
But yes, reverting back at the moment is as easy as flashing a 6.0.1 rom or stock firmware.
Either way hopefully people back up their efs!
i updated to an official 7.0 firmware and now i can't flash 6.0.1 bootloader. Any ideas or am i stuck at 7.0?

Well hopefully people will back up their EFS which is a MUST do before starting to flash roms etc.
If you have I think you can use odin to go back to 6.0.1 and then restore the backed up EFS from that version of Android.
Other than that you're stuck on nougat roms.
If you have reverted back to older and you lose imei and/or baseband then you'll need to reinstall nougat rom to get the imei/baseband back.
But as I haven't flashed an official nougat rom I can't say if this will all work or not. I'm going by past experience when I did this with jellybean - kitkat on my old phone.

BLN-L24 links have bad key in the Honor 6x Repository thread

Need to rollback, or be advised of any custom ROMS that work..
Try Elite ROM from ROM section. it should work fine.
I personally would not recommend installing Elite ROM as it is more hassle than it is worth when you try to switch ROMs. It re/debrands your device and even after restoring a nandroid your audio will not work nor will your camera function properly. What files have bad keys? I put a lot of those up and the keys should work fine....
@shashank1320 check the links in the BLN-L24 section....something got messed up when you copied my links as mine work.
@ghostair is your device bricked? IMO none of the ROMs for this phone are worth installing on a main phone because there is too much functionality lost, no disrespect to the devs. Elite ROM does have the least amount of bugs but it is a hassle as I mentioned earlier. My main gripe about it is when installing and uninstalling apps you must restart the device in order for the apps to be added or removed from the app drawer....its a major annoyance.

TWRP 3.1.1 didn't work for me, nor did EliteROM or his version of TWRP.

Is your device bricked? You say you want to rollback, but have you started the process....what firmware are you on?

Let me check mate. Thanks for pointing that out.
No it's not bricked, actually I am on TWRP 3.1.1-0, it was only EliteROM's version that didn't work. I haven't even been able to use the phone at all, for a week, and am currently on LineageOS 13 as it was only release that works for my model it seems.

Im confused....your original post says you need to rollback but you say you are currently on LOS 13?? Rolling back refers to downgrading from Android 7.0 (Nougat) to 6.0.1 (MM) but you are already on MM if you are running LOS 13. You also say your device is not bricked but then in the next sentence say you havent been able to use it at all for a week.....and lastly you say LOS 13 was the only release to work for your model yet every single ROM in the development forum can be flashed to the BLN-L24, I know because I have done it.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish here? Your posts are contradictory and make no sense. Id be glad to help but you gotta give me something to work with here.
Im assuming you did not make a full backup in TWRP before flashing any ROMs, in which case you have learned a valuable lesson....always have a backup. But since you dont we will get you back to EMUI which I assume is what you mean when you say roll back.

I understand, I probably should have just used, "go back," to EMUI. Since LOS 13 isn't usable in the least, as I can't make calls, and it drops LTE.
If they work then how? I followed everything, flashing vendor.img with fastboot, then flashing the respective zip?
I'd rather not go back to EMUI, it's why I haven't been able to actually "use it as a phone," since purchase.
Why would you not want to go back to EMUI? Its smooth and everything works. EMUI is the reason you havent been able to use it as a phone?? There is not one single ROM for this device that works entirely and has full functionality. You're always going to be missing something whether its the camera, LTE, calls, etc.
You're going to have to go back to EMUI so you can update to Anrdoid 7.0 (be sure to make a full backup) and then flash away all the ROMS you like and you will see they are all broken in some way. This is most definitely not the phone to use if you are looking for polished ROMs.
My last tip before departing......download the flashable vendor zip if you still want to mess around with the ROMs, it makes life much easier. Its in one of the threads in that forum I think AOKP

OP8 Verizon Custom ROM Support

Hey all! I saw it mentioned in a few threads and figured this would be the right place. For all those Verizon users, post your experience with A11 ROMs here. Which ones have you tried? Which work, and which don't? Hopefully we can find a common thread and get more support for Verizon!

I'm also on Verizon with the op8 pro. Not a great experience compared to my wife's galaxy s20 plus. Thanks for trying to pull some of us together. Seems like the EU version gets most of the active support at the moment. Maybe we can get the IN2025 handset done love.
Have been using verizon for about 5 months beside atnt with no issues no 5g in my area yet but haven't had any issues with either

Tried Lineage, Crdroid. Neither sees SIM card and settings for that greyed out. I assume is the same for PE and AICP. Only one that works is Paranoid Android but it really doesn't have any features to make it more attractive than stock OOS. Seems Verizon users are SOL when it comes to custom Roms. At least for now.

How are you getting past the error on Pa that rebooting to recovery to factory reset over and over again?. I've heard Pa has data but when I flash it continually loops back into recovery trying to factory reset. And I'm performing factory reset with op8 stock recovery prior to flashing. But still saw message if you have sim insert now at set-up. So I figured it didn't have data as well. The problem is we have single sim ssss. And none of these custom builds have our specific vendor blobs. So until someone steps up and builds for us specifically . Nothing is going to get data. I'm working with maintainer of Pixel experience and Cr-droid. But seems to be a tough process for them. Here's to developing some patience and being on stock. I've tried flashing global as well and no data. However I could on A10. If anyone on the Verizon op8 variant updated ota to A11 and has flashed something they get data/internet signal on,I'd love to know.

Well I haven't done anything with PA since beta 2. If I recall it was a Pita to install at the time but I was able to twice with Verizon working. Don't know about now. When I did flash it I asked the Dev what he did to make Verizon work on that ROM but all he said was "nothing special".

I remember seeing your post now asking him. Early on. Did you fastboot update pa.zip or sideload? And it's already up to beta 5

I honestly can't remember. I think I sideloaded it because I couldn't make fastboot update work. But again I really can't remember. I haven't tried any past beta 2 because of the trouble to flash it (myself and others) and I honestly didn't see how it was any better than stock. Just me though. Does it have a lot more features now?

Everyone in the threads saying the most recent ones are very nice. I dunno though. Just trying to get with devs and get us some stuff to flash. But you for sure had data/signal. Could make calls,text ,jump on internet and wasn't off of wifi?
wrong thread

Oh yeah. It worked at least to make and receive calls. Don't remember about texts. I didn't use it more than a couple of hours because I wasn't impressed.

Guess my next question is how did you possibly get A11 on both slots? I ran logcat through download trying to snag url or dl link for rom and nothing. Been reading through Pa thread. That's how you got it working. I still have A10 on slot_a.
Just installed PA beta 6. Got oos11 on both slots with oxygen updater. Tried fastboot update but that produced error messages. Unzipped PA files and manually flashed them. Booted up fine. Got Verizon calls and text working (had to change APN fron VZWINTERNET to one of the others--can't remember which. I could NOT get fingerprint to work but face recognition worked. Again the was such a plain vanilla ROM and I really couldn't see any advantage to using it so went back to stock.
Haven't got Verizon myself as I'm in the UK. But the issues I've seen from that network are crazy.
Are you all planning to stay with Verizon? Personally I'd leave them, it's a terrible thing to have to deal with on any phone let alone one that costs so much...
I wouldn't commit to another contract with them for any reason until that limitation is gone.

As of now yes. Luk was in device for hours last night on ubunutu and has merged changes on gerrit. So we should get data on Verizon from here on out on anything built from Lineage !! And already have flashed Chandras test builds on pixel experience and have data. Everything working

Yes I agree. That's why Luk agreed to make patches for gerrit. Super cool. Now we all get to flash nice custom roms. Seems as if we follow one another around threads as well. He he. I truly love this device. With msm in our back pockets it's amazing.
