@velera1978. I know that you are very busy with this rom as it is but I wanted to make a request if you dont mind and it is not to much. I live in the united states where almost all of our carriers allow wifi calling. If you are not familiar it lets you make and recive calls and texts from your number over a wifi connection. It is a quick settings option on devices here. Can you enable it to be used on this rom? If not I understand. Thank you again for your work.

I'm sorry to say that my network doesnt work normally

I'm with p905f0 model (korea) and I flashed p905f0 zip.

When I reboot, it works for about 1minute. but after, it doesnt work. working and non-working situation repeats. How can I fix it?

Exatly the same situation here. Installed Baseband is P905xxuabof4.
Indicator for GSM signal quality is (and stays) full signal strength with provider Vodafone in Germany.
ATM it looks like the same problem as after the update from Kitkat to Lollipop: Starting the device, GSM works for, say a minute, and then connection is lost. When I'm counting right, then there are at least three users with GSM-problems on this device.
I would like to avoid that "old problems with RIL and modem" lead in unnecessary work for Valera. So I would like to ask, if there is a SAVE!!! way to generally reset the device and make a fresh install. After that we could track down the problem..

TIA
Stevie

I think the device is losing connection to Sim itself. It's not a network / data problem. I had similar problems with Note 7 ports on Note4 N910F and my workaround there was to clean flash Rom then set up Rom without Wi-Fi and then reflash the kernel. After that my N910f reconized my sim propertly. Couldn't test this method yet...

Can you provide me with a detailed descripton of cleaning flash ROM and reflashing the kernel? (I think the kernel has to be extracted before the seperate flash?)
So I would test this procedure and perhaps I can support Valera with further informations?

I installed this rom from official samsung lollipop and made clean flash.
I think my problem is because of my device's (p905f0) official rom's outdated(maybe) modem if there is no problem with my installing method.

Problem was: GSM connection was working for something about 1 minute after startup. After that period of time, data packets were send, but never received anymore. :( With some hints from @LegendSmoker I managed to solve it for me. Here is a little step-by-step-guide:
1) Boot in download mode, connect device to Odin
2) In Odin deactivate "Auto reboot" and install Lollipop Stock ROM with multi CSC. ....or install one with CSC "BTU".
3) After flashing Stock ROM, flash root-image.
4) Reboot in Samsung-recovery and do a "factory reset".
5) Reboot to system (takes some time), deactivate WLAN, skip all setup screens where possible and test GSM connection. ...it should be functional.
99) Optional: When using Stock ROM with multi CSC, install "Phone Info" and change CSC to "BTU". In my case, Phone Info was not able to change the CSC, so I used Stock ROM with "BTU"-CSC. So, for me, there was no need to change the CSC. CAUTION: When changing the CSC, a factory reset is done, and you will loose data!
6) Reboot in download mode and install TWRP with ODIN.
99) Optional: Reboot in recovery (TWRP). If you like, you can do a backup as a, say, "meta base" for further testings. (Lollipop, with CSC = BTU, TWRP and functional GSM-connection)
7) Reboot into recovery and wipe cache, Dalvik cache, data and system.
8) In TWRP, flash Valera's "Marshmallow Touchwiz N7-Port"
9) Reboot to system (takes some time), again skip as many setup steps as possible, deactivate WLAN and test GSM connection (setup / check APN and so on). After first test, leave device 5 minutes (or so) untouched and once more test the GSM connection. If it still works...open a beer and say CHEERS! :)
10) After reboot you can proceed with setting up your device. ...and hopefully anything is fine!

HICKS! ;)

Note 5 with nougat

The roll out of Note 5 with nougat has began. That would be the definitive port for our Note Pro. Do you think it would be possible?
Thak all of you.

ATM, handwriting recognition doesn't seem to work with version 20170314! S Pen works (tipping on icons and drawing in Samsung apps). But every time, when S Pen is detached from the device and switching to handwriting recognition, I get the message "Samsung-Tastatur angehalten". ...after some google-ing it should be the following error message: "Unfortunately, Samsung keyboard as stopped."

Via settings =>> application manager =>> show system applications I searched for apps like handwriting, S Pen and Samsung Keyboard and deleted their caches. ...but until now....no luck :(
In recovery I wiped the cache partition and did a restart...still not working.
....any suggestions?

TIA

I think i found the real issue.

There is a Bug with Setup Wizard and/or Samsung Account.


The issue appears only if i set up WiFi in setup wizard. Not matter which CSC or Modem.

As soon as I connect to WiFi in Setup Wizard my Sim will Drop connection.

If i skip WiFi in setup wizard my Sim and data will stick.
But now i am unable to log in to Theme Store. That is the Thing wich makes me thinking that there is a Bug with Samsung Account also.

Anyway for those who cant get sim/data to work the Solution is :

Factory Reset/ Flash Rom again/Set Language/Skip Wifi/ Set up your device/Connect to LTE/Set up WiFi.

Best regards

@LegendSmoker:

Is handwriting recognition working on your device?
Only thing I get, is an empty field where I could write with the S Pen, but the device is not responding to my handwriting input...and two seconds later, I get the message that Samsung keyboard has stopped!
Tested with 20170312 and 20170314

New info:
There must be a further bug in the setup with handwriting and / or S Pen. When in the initial setup wizzard, where you have to enter your first and last name. Use the S Pen, the keyboard will appear. Tip to button left of the spacebar and switch to handwriting mode. The handwriting field will appear, but you're not able to enter a single letter. Switching back to normal keyboard and again tipping on the button left of the spacebar and tip on the configure button (gearwheel), setup handwriting language to your needs and from now on...every time, you want to use handwriting mode, the Samsung keyboard will stop working.
Is there anybody with working handwriting mode? ...but this is a real show stopper. :(

TIA
