[ROM][N910G/F][ODEX]* DRH2 * Multi-CSC, De-Bloat stock, Fast&Light[CUSTOM]

[Andycar]

Andycar N4 MX ROM​

Only for Samsung Note 4 Snapdragon processor​

Based on the latest N910GDTS1DQH2 from Samsung

“If you respect your time as we do, come with us for something fast and lightweight.
We even do it without losing stock TW ROMs functionality, enhancing it in a way!”
​

***N4 MX ROM was tested by me before this release.
But I hold no responsibility for the thermonuclear war, failed alarm sounds on your phone or any of your files lost. 
The decision to make mods to your for is made by YOU, not me.

Introduction

I thought it might be good to demonstrate my concept, which is:

• Odexed custom ROM (the first TW MM ROM of this kind, to my best knowledge)
• Very fast initial load (no ART cache building, so less than one minute boot time)
• Embedded signature spoofing (switchable)
• SafenyNet Pass and Magisk out-of-the-box
• Every system app updated, including the latest Google apps
• Can be switched microG instead of gapps (with Contacts/Calendar sync)
• Some Multi-dpi system apps included (SamsungCamera3, Contacts - thanks to HardRock83)
• And finally it comes with RAM RC6 kernel permissive by Ram121 modified for permissive adb pre-installed

Features

What you SHOULD expect from this ROM:

• Odexed custom MM (6.0.1) TW ROM – pre-optimized for speed + max. storage space.
• Original WHITE theme enabled by default.
• VoLTE works by default from CSC profiles in some countries.
• FingerPrint register and unlocking FP works by default.
• Knox 0x0 (magisk patch); Official SysScope Status; SafetyNet Pass
• Android Pay will work out of the box
• Switchable SystemUI styles due tothe ROM Manager for Note 4 by Robert CM.
• Debloated fully: if you need some app, you can install it from Play Market
• Gapps by default, can be switched to microG(for those users, who want minimal microG functionality)

Installation instructions

1. Check your bootloader and modem version. Best of all N910GDTS1DQH2 (or at least N910GDTU1DQL1) or N910FXXU1DQL2 are required (links below).
2. Flash ROM in recovery. Magisk, busybox and Ram kernel will be installed automatically.
   I don't guarantee correct operation of this ROM with dirty flashing, but you can try it
3. The ROM is Multi-CSC "out-of-the-box" due to the advanced install "DevBase" installation system by Alexndr
4. CSC of your phone model will be flashed automatically (for details, see in the link)
5. Reboot device. First boot usually takes about one minute.
6. Set up clocks, potato battery, other status bar goodies in ROMControl app by Robert CM.
7. (OPTIONAL) Open «Developement settings» (you can enable them in Settings- About device- tap 7 times on the ROM version).
8. (OPTIONAL) Under «Developement settings», scroll to the very bottom, «signature spoofing» should be enabled.
9. (OPTIONAL) (microG only)In MigroG settings, Device Registration and "Google Cloud Messaging" should be enabled
   (this can be switched off after Google Account setup, if required)
10. Setup Google account normally. In some cases, wiping data of Play Store may be needed after Google Account was set.
11. (OPTIONAL) Enable UnifieldNlp (Network Location providers) in GPS settings. (microG only)
12. If you decide to switch to stock kernel, you can do it by flashing the stock kernel from one of the links below.

FOR N910F flash the latest BQL2 bootloader
(https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569951729)

For N910T, N910W8 flash their respective datafixes and bootloaders

Links for N910T datafix: https://mega.nz/#!qcdnySyB!55DemVnZNSXDGiDFA_Gv4Ftb7Ra1ba0u4_V60fn5mKo

LINK : N910T, N910W, N910V & N910P datafix zip packages by louforgiveno <- these are meant to be used on S7 port ROMs, so you'd be better off editing build.prop manually to your N910(T/W/V/P) model.

 

[Andycar]

To clear things up, Samsung has released software base recently almost at the same time for N910G and N910F devices.
In fact, these two bases are very close to each other.

===============
How to resolve "Triple clock issue"?. DO this:
1. In ROM manager app (Status bar) set up clocks. E.g. I had potato clock centered,while having stock clock disabled.
2. After the second clock will still be present in status bar; reboot!
3. After reboot, only one clock will be there. Enjoy.

This is only for N910G/F.

 

[Trex888]

This is only for N910G/F.

I flashed with datafix and boot up flawless and simcard mobile data works too.
But why launcher is not changing dpi from 530 to 570 or 640 when i change dpi in rom control ?the rest is changing such as systemui notification panel etc

Oh, nice!
Regarding launcher I'm planning to make it more flexible.

 

[Andycar]

good job !

Thanks!
I haven't tried xposed with my odexed ROMs, but other xda members were getting success on Lollipop odexed custom ROM.

ALL CSС zip files were updated. Thanks!

 

[aaki_rocker]

hi @Andycar !
this rom is really smooth.
just if you could add some "usable" bloat like air command and other stuff which is really required by some users like me as a separate flashable zip.
will report battery life after a few days of testing.
thank you

Hi!
Thanks, that's appreciated.

In fact I have all those useful system apk sorted in folders.
Just started making an AROMA installer with those addons, stay tuned.

 

[Aiadi]

Thanks OP for this new ROM but before I try it can someone please explain the advantages of the included Kernel above an beyond stock stock one (that I have always tried to use as it tends to be less buggy)?

RamKernel will allow to pass Safety Net test with magisk, so you'll be able to, say, use Android Pay while keeping root. If you care about this...
Adbd permissive will allow you to run adb shell in permissive root mode always by default.
If you not care about this, you indeed may try the stock Kernel

 

[plrusek]

Hey, i was meaning to try this rom out as i was looking all over the place for a good stock-based rom but i seem to be having problems flashing the modem+bootloader in odin. throws an error if flashing with AP or BL (i assumed AP at first since it's a combo of both). not sure what im doin wrong. i'm trying to flash from lineageos btw (i didnt have problems with flashing modem+bootloader there)

when coming from roms other than stock, it is recommended to flash full firmware and then flash stock based custom roms

 

[plrusek]

it shouldn't matter what stock i choose, right?

 

[nemesis.sisemen]

it shouldn't matter what stock i choose, right?

What is your model?

 

[plrusek]

What is your model?

SM-N910F, hence why im here. i just downloaded the UK stock rom found on xda and will be flashing it shortly
