Sprint Hybrid ROM Series​

LOLLIPOP 5.1.1​

(Android 5.0.1 ROMs are in post #2)​

​

I bring to you a Hybrid Sprint N910PVPU4COG5 ROM. Built from the official Samsung OG5 tar ball. The initial ROM release is available in Odexed and Deodexed. Both are identical beside being odexed or deodexexd. The ROM will self root upon flash and it has init.d/busybox support (to be determined once we have a kernel that supports it). Knox and Sprint Itson has been removed completely. The "Basic" ROM includes the stock pre-rooted OG5 "Beastmode" kernel provided by @freeza

Other than a few small mods and the REMOVAL of Knox, Sprint Itson and several pre-installed "bloat" apps, this ROM is stock in every other way. I spent a lot of time with root and the updater-script to make it flash and pre-root as it should with no hassles. I DO NOT give permission for ANYONE to use this ROM or any future version of it for your own ROM base or any other derivative of my ROM. So don't do it! I will build a stock base ROM soon and it can be used for other peoples' projects. Thank you. Enjoy!

Important Note: Before flashing this ROM. you MUST first have done one of the following: Taken the Lollipop OB7 ota update OR odin flashed the stock N910PVPU1BOB7_N910PSPT1BOB7_SPR rom tar or NEWER Lollipop build such as OE1, OF5 or OFG. If you are still on ANY KK based rom (including any KK AOSP/CM based roms) then you MUST first update to Lollipop by one of the two methods I mentioned above, BEFORE flashing this ROM. If you are still on the first Lollipop 5.0 OB7 rom or a stock/custom KitKat ROM and have NEVER updated to Lollipop before then I highly recommend flashing my custom OB7/OG5 rom tar found HERE. Read that thread for more information.

Flashing Instructions​

***Before beginning the flash/setup process MAKE SURE your battery has at least 50% charge and/or connected to the charger!!!***​

1. Backup anything you don't want to lose off your internal storage to another location.

2. Download the rom using your pc. (downloading with your phone has a much higher risk of file corruption. Not recommended with large files).

3. VERIFY the md5!!! Once the download has finished, compare the AFH md5 using a md5 tool on your pc. (Google is your friend).

4. Put the downloaded rom onto your internal storage or external micro sd card.

Before you go any further you need to odin flash the latest TWRP (recovery). Uncheck the "auto-reboot" option in the Odin tool before flashing TWRP. Once it finishes flashing, press and hold the home button, volume down and power button for several seconds until it reboots then QUICKLY press and hold home, volume UP and the power button and it will reboot to recovery without the need to do a battery pull. Otherwise continue to the next steps below.

5. With phone powered off, reboot into recovery by pressing and holding volume up, power and the home button until you see the samsusung logo then release all buttons.

6. Once in recovery choose the wipe button and do a factory reset three times. Optional but recommended is to do a "Data" wipe. This will wipe all of your internal storage so MAKE SURE you backed up first like i said in step #1 above! Then go to "advanced wipe" and select all of the partitions EXCEPT micro-sd card and internal storage. Internal storage is optional but recommended on first time flashing Lollipop.

7. Choose the "Install" option and select the rom "Hybrid_Sprint_N910PVPU4COG5_Deodexed" from either your internal or external micro-sd card. It will flash the rom and give a confirmation once completed.

8. Press "Reboot" then "reboot system".

9. Initial rom setup will take around 10 minutes and remain on the yellow Sprint Spark screen for much longer than what you are used to. Let the phone setup/optimize for at least 10 minutes and the screen WILL eventually turn off OR show the setup wizard screen once it finishes.

10. When you see the screen turn off, you can proceed with the setup wizard. Once finished with setup wizard, you will be prompted for the "connections optimizer". Quickly set it to what you want and close it. That's it! You're done! Setup your rom as usual. Enjoy![/B]

WARNING: Flashing anything on your device is done at your own risk. There is no way myself or any other developer can guarantee that flashing this ROM or any other file will not brick your device or otherwise cause some other type of damage. This is just a standard warning. I am not responsible for anything that you do to your device. However I do take great time and effort to ensure all of my work is tested and verified good before releasing to the public.

Sprint Hybrid ROM Series​

LOLLIPOP 5.0.1

(Android 5.1.1 ROMs are in post #1 above)​

​

About ROM:

For those of you who want your phone to have that pure stock look, feel and reliability along with the extra features that should have come on the phone straight out of the box..... this ROM is for you. It is completely stock other than disabled knox, root and some added features which will make you Happy Happy Happy!!!

This is the ROM that should have come on your phone when you opened the box. For my "Basic" ROMs the list of extra features will be limited because these are the base ROMs for all future builds which will include more features, mods, theme, etc.. What this means is that these stock "base" ROMs (along with it's few extra features) will remain just as they are and will NOT be changed, themed or modded in any way, unless an issue arises which I will fix. Later on, as time permits, I will release modified/themed versions which will have even more added features, tweaks and mild theming. This is the Hybrid Series ROM, which basically means combining the best mods & features from different devices and developers from XDA and making it better and more enjoyable, while at the same time giving you that reliable stock look and feel which you know so well. This is not an over the top themed rom. There's no developer signatures, names or logos throughout the ROM. I always keep everything looking clean professional and stock with no flamboyant icons, colors etc. This is my personal ROM that I use. It will progress and remain true to these standards. Enjoy!!!

***This Basic OB7 X-Series ROM will not be changed or updated. More features will be included in future builds of Hybrid X-Series ROM which can be found below***​

Install Instructions:

If coming from stock NIE or NK2 KitKat rom you MUST first take the Lollipop ota update OR Odin flash the stock Lollipop OB7 ROM tar found HERE
Thanks @-viperboy- for uploading the stock OB7 tar! This is MANDATORY that you do this before flashing any stock or custom lollipop rom via recovery. NO EXCEPTIONS. There are necessary carrier partitions and updated bootloader etc that must be written to your device for Lollipop. BEFORE you Odin the stock OB7 rom tar you MUST reboot into recovery and do a factory reset AND wipe everything (except micro sd-card) several times. If you don't do this you will have left over data that will cause issues once you odin flash OB7. You have been warned. If you ignore these instructions then you are to blame for not following these simple instructions. Once you do these steps and you're on the stock Lollipop OB7 rom you can proceed to the Instructions below

* Flash using the latest version of TWRP custom recovery
1. Download my ROM zip file and copy it to either your internal storage or external micro-sd card.
2. Reboot into custom recovery. Do a factory reset. Then wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache and wipe system. Wipe each three times for good
measure. DO NOT ACCIDENTLY WIPE MICRO SD CARD!!!
3. Choose Install and select the rom zip file
* Lollipop flashes take a few seconds longer than KK roms. Once it finishes, choose reboot system. First boot will take around 15 minutes.
When the screen turns off it's ready for user setup.
* Done!!!
* Enjoy your fully working stock Hybrid Edition ROM!!!

Fingerprint recognition working after NAND restore?

I'm still waiting on my Note 4 to arrive but have been reading through the forums looking for this, a very basic stock ROM to start with 'til I see a custom ROM with the kinks worked out.

One of the ROMs had an issue with Fingerprint recognition not working to unlock the device after a NAND restore. At that point they hadn't figured out if it was something relative to the Chainfire root process or the ROM or some Samsung issue after root. They were able to use the backup password but couldn't get the fingerprint recognition to work anymore at all, even after going back through the setup for it.

Has anybody tested fingerprint recognition after a restore? Any issues with that?

They were having some issues with Xposed as well. Is anyone running Xposed on this ROM yet? Any issues?

 

[Team DevDigitel]

Glad to see everything is working!!

I took a hiatus for the holiday period and being in retail my time has been primarily on making them $$

Back for the next few weeks till the big Christmas hits and i may go dark for another week!!

Great job on getting things fixed and running right! !

ROM looking good!

You are talking about the actual saved fingerprint continuing to work from your nandroid restore correct? I personally haven't tested a saved fingerprint after a nandroid restore but I would have to assume that IF fingerprint scanner stops recognizing a saved fingerprint after a nandroid restore that it could likely be caused by the encryption getting broken during nandroid backup or restore process. If somebody has time to test and confirm the fingerprint scanner still works after a nandroid restore using the same saved fingerprint prior to the nandroid backup, please report back. Otherwise ill test this as soon as I have time. The fingerprint scanner itself should work just fine after a restore.

Edit: saved fingerprints and scanner work perfectly after a nandroid restore. This is not an issue.

Will you port over download booster from a tmobile rom? Also do you have a flashlight toggle?

 

[tx_dbs_tx]

Will you port over download booster from a tmobile rom? Also do you have a flashlight toggle?

Flashlight toggle and torch light option is already in my plans for future release. Download booster is already in the rom vi toggle. Just long press the toggle and it will take you to download booster. I will try to add it in regular settings menu when I can. I don't need to port anything from a different rom to do this.

The download booster can be toggled in the factory ROM as well but it doesn't actually work. The one from T-mobile actually does. Did you import that or are we working with what came shipped on sprint phones? Thanks.

It is the way it come shipped from Samsung & Sprint. Download booster is not enabled on the Sprint version and there's no toggle for it either. I did add the toggle but not the settings menu entry. I haven't tested it but if it doesn't work then that would explain why it wasn't an available feature out of the box. Why it doesn't work i couldn't say... other than incompatibility issues.

Sounds like a post I made & I still haven't been able to get fingerprint scanner to work. I am currently running Semper Fi ROM, which is nice & smooth, but I'm downloading this right now to give it a try.
