[ROM] N915V Stock Rooted for Developer Edition

[pmterp]

Verizon Galaxy Note Edge Stock Rooted for Developer Edition​

Please flash responsibly.  I'm not responsible for what you do with your device.

INTRODUCTION

This is as close as I could stay to stock except that it is pre-rooted. It's a big file and will take several minutes to boot (about 7 minutes with my experience). My plan is to make another ROM from this base that is debloated and has some other goodies. Feel free to post in this forum what you wish it had or didn't for future builds.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Simply download and flash this file using the install function of TWRP.

So far runs great, time will tell with battery.

Nicely done, congrats on the build.
Should one upgrade to 5.0 first or would it be safe to flash on 4.x.x?

I'm pretty sure your gonna have to upgrade your bootloader for 5.0.1, to work right on your phone.
I would think upgrade firmware to BOF2 then unlock kingoroot still working as of today, i'm pretty sure you flash that zip on 4.4.4
it will bootloop.

That's what I'd figure also, just wanted to get it clarified.

I'm currently running the fw version ending in BPC1 and that is what the ROM is based on. I believe it will run on any of the 5.0.1 fw's but I don't think it would run correctly on builds prior to that.

Phase II

Hey guys, I spend a ton of time learning how to make this ROM which I'm glad that I did. However, I'm going to have to manage my time a little better going forward. So, please share your input. If anything goes wrong with the ROM, please let me know. As I work on my next ROM which will be debloated and hopefully have a lot of other tweaks and improvements, please let me know what you'd like to see. Is there a feature you've seen in another ROM that you wish we had? Once you boot a new ROM, what are the first changes you make (maybe we can preset some stuff). I really don't know what all is possible and what can be implemented but if I'm going to spend time learning anyway I'd rather spend it on stuff that matters. Please feel free to share your thoughts.

#1 thing for me is to turn off the hot spot entitlement check and remove bloat

thanks for working on this ! :good:

1st I'd make twiz an option, basically a user app that can be uninstalled or kept if preferred. Lot's of launchers malfunction with the popup notification sticking on screen, not the status bar noti, but the bubble window like Tibu displays - "all app info has been loaded". I'd also probably do something like that with all of the system apps that are "bloat" as everyone has their pref's. That way any bloat app can be installed or uninstalled if the user wishes.

A feature I have yet to find is custom S pen popup windows/air command. Add an app or command.

Maybe integrate MultiSystem into your build. That way users can try any of the note 4 roms out without the risk of so many problems both heard and unheard. That would definitely make pure it awesome.

Good stuff, all the things you mentioned would be awesome, especially MultiSystem built in! :good:

Or Verizon juiced the signal and i doubt that.....

I can't take credit for too much since I didn't really modify anything. However, it is based off the latest VZW update which is newer than the BOF base so there could have been improvements implemented there.

Debloating is easy. Making hotspot function as native Android should be doable.

Some of the bloat I'll remove completely and I can keep some of the other stuff (like Google and Samsung apps) making it removable.

As far as multisystem, I'll look into it but that may be over my head. Before this I had modded some HTC Roms but never on my own. And there seems to be no interest at all from other experienced devs to work on this device since the user base is so small (which is understandable). I posted in several forums and send a coupld PMs while trying to learn to do this and got 0 responses.

Wow, that would be nice. I've seen real devs take firmware from similar devices and make them compatible with other phones but I can pretty much guarantee I won't reach that level while I still own this phone.

Thanks for the input guys. Keep it coming. I may get some time to work on it tonight if my wife don't catch me. She's still upset about me spending the 3-day weekend on it. shhhhhhh

Lmao, I got your back. I saw nothing.

With MultiSystem, it's just an app that the rooted user can install. You most likely won't get a response as our device isn't officially supported. But the Note 4 is supported. My Edge is all stock on 4.4.4 Official Dev Edition and I have installed it just not the binaries yet. I have tried to install it on android 4.1.2 and it will not. From what I understand of MultiSystem, it's supposed to be "for all devices". I'm guessing it's pointed toward device's running KK and higher.

I have not tested yet as my phone's os is basically one of a kind, and have not had a way to really fix it other than a recovery. The official dev edition firmware will never be released says Samsung reps and so I'm super careful with what I have done and will do with the device. That being said, maybe someone here with a replaceable os would be willing to give it a shot.

If so, then a new thread for MS Note Edge Dev would be in demand.

Sorry for the Essay here. Continue on, major props brother.

Hey guys, I've not had much luck with modding the ROM much so I went ahead and added a second download link for a debloated version. I pretty much took out anything that could be added back if you wanted it. Check it out and let me know what you think. It did still take about 8 minutes to boot from the red VZW screen.

BTW - I did remove all the KNOX stuff and the app that pulls the updates as well.
