[ROM,TW]Note 4 port 5.0.1 - DarkLord rom v2.2 N910F BOB4 by Samsungviet for N900A

[sanguinevn]

First of all, I'd like to say that I am not a developer. I am just a normal user here.
As you know, just because of our device N900A's boot loader is locked by AT&T and Samsung, we are not as lucky as other Note 3's users to enjoy Lollipop updates since the early of Feb 2015. Finally, we have been waiting until the end of Mar 2015 to get Lollipop updates. It is lucky enough for us to have Lollipop kernel to make the Lollipop roms for other Note 3 devices working on our N900A.
A very big thanks to @nambavuong for a great Note 4 ported rom for Note 3. With his permission, I have re-ported DarkLord Rom v2.2 by removing aroma installer from the rom so that it can be installed via Safe Strap.
You can find the original thread of DarkLord rom v2.2 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-tw-note-4-port-5-0-1-darklord-rom-1-t3017604. It is useful to find solutions for any bugs which you may be faced with.

How to install
Flash the DarkLord rom v2.2 from 4.4.2, 4.4.4 or 5.0 rom base with lasted SafeStrap. Both stock or custom based roms are fine. You can find step by step installation as followed.

1. Download the DarkLord rom v2.2 ROM from the download section below to micro sd card
2. Reboot to SafeStrap. If you are not on NC2, please follow this guide to know how to boot into SafeStrap http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/att-nj5-safestrap-t2957471
3. Wipe everything except micro sd card
4. Install DarkLord rom v2.2 ROM downloaded in step 1
5. Install the fixes on download section
6. Install the mods for the rom as you wish from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58541397&postcount=3
7. Flash supersu from here http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip UNLESS PHONE NEVER BOOTS UP
8. Reboot your phone into download mode
9. Connect your phone into the computer and flash the file "N900A_OC1_ALL_Other_Stock_Partitions.tar.md5" using Odin 3.10's AP slot

Phone will take up to 10' to boot. It depends on how many mods you install with the rom. Just be patient.

5. Gallery Photos Rotation Fix: FAQ v2.2 from post #1 of the original forum.

Q: Gallery Photos Rotation not work N9005
A: Go to system/csc/feature.xml, find gallery rotation icon, change TRUE to FALSE, then reboot.

The Locksound/Note 4 .video.timer.fix, downloads, when I try to download any of them, Mega is asking for a Decryption Key


***Edit, but if I go to the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58541397&postcount=3, I can download it fine

I just installed, and it booted fine for me

I just installed, and it booted fine for me

I wonder why it hangs on me, i have tried 3 times the last time I flashed back to nc2, factory reset, installed rom just like you posted, and almost 30 min later still on samsung logo, I'm stumped because I can get 3 international roms that I removed the aroma from to get them to work

 

[Bryanphamx]

xposed doesn't work on this lollipop does it?

xposed doesn't work on this lollipop does it?

Not yet, it'll bootloop

***Edit - The Default APN, is set to Cingular. I set mine to the one here https://apn.gishan.net/settings/751_4_att_apn_settings_for_samsung_galaxy_note_3.php

May be just me, but when my install completed, it was REALLY difficult getting the system to update or install any apps from the Playstore. I also noticed that none of the Google apps were installed. Gmail, Drive, Maps, Voice etc. Once I was able to get the Playstore to download, I was able to install them

You must flash supersu as the final step to have the phone boot.

Is it possible to go back to nc2 with Rodin after flashing this

Definitely possible.

 

[blackout305]

No issues so far except for having to setup the proper APN. Other than that.... Running smoothly. Thank you for the porting this over.

Thanks, I finally got it to boot, that last step fixed it

 

[kangi26]

When I did my install, I stacked the installations in TWRP, ROM first then the Fixes/Mods, then last the SU install package. It installed everything in one shot

Just install everything together, rom, fixes and mods or you have to go back and forth with flashing NC2 kernel for every single zip file. So painful.

By the way sanguinevn, GREAT looking rom. It's running really well.
Thanks for getting this together and out there for us to play with

 

[noxnoctus]

Works great! Only issue I have is that SafeStrap no longer shows up in the boot cycle. It still shows as installed, and when uninstalled and reinstalled, nothing changes. BB is installed as well

 

[CryptKilla]

Do we really need step 9? Or is there another way in SS to do it?
I just want to not use computer / odin
