I will have this fixed in the next update. I have to do many many changes in the buildprop.
But at the current moment your phone should be getting LTE and 4G during calls even though it says 4G H+

This is a leaked firmware from China. This ROM will be updated over the days. Plus it takes a very very very long time for the device to boot. Please leave it up for about 10 min before doing anything and to play it safe after the ROM does boot please don't touch the device for about 5 min after the first boot.

omg it worked
It worked but are you going to be fixing the wifi isse id like to makebthis my daily driver and help test it for you?

I flashed this wit the latest CWM touch recovery worked fine. Normal problems like op stated. Can't wait for the next update should be a sweet rom.

working great T-Mobile M919
Flashed on my T-Mobile M919...it works great...if this alpha...its one hell of an alpha......WiFi works great...just flashed ausdims kernel works with no problem.....just minor things.. Screen mirroring won't connect.. But can stream music with WiFi direct.... Wish there was a way to get WiFi calling...other than that..this is a great daily driver...oh yes...battery is pretty Good.

Flashed ausdims kernel. Wifi, bt, ir blaster works, didn't try screen mirroring. Gps took a day to start working right. Gmail, MSN and games sink, fb doesn't show notifications, no big deal. Been using this for a couple days pretty smooth, no reboots like the kernel stated. I'm using metropcs S4.

make sure you do a full wipe when downloading...you can use any i9505 rom for the m919...they are pretty much the same device but different countries.........i prefer to use this rom..which has s6 features baked in with google apps already in the zip as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-albe95-lollirom-official-1-0-t3049564 ...i prefer AEL kernel for best wifi, mobile net work signal (LTE) and of course kernel tweaks for great battery and performance..you can find it here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934552452
1. FIRST DO A FULL WIPE DONT WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE.....THEN WIPE ALL TRACES OF YOUR CURRENT KERNEL WITH THIS. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712468056
THIS IS A KERNEL CLEANING SCRIPT. I BELIEVE IT IS NECESSARY COMING FROM A DIFFERENT ROM.
2.INSTALL THE ROM FROM THE LINK IVE PROVIDED ..MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD TO INTERNAL STORAGE..AND IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 15 TO 20 MINUTES FOR FIRST BOOT BECAUSE OF ART...JUST BE PATIENT..IT WILL BOOT.
3.AFTER FIRST BOOT............... BOOT INTO RECOVERY AND INSTALL AEL KERNEL FOR WIFI TO WORK AND OF COURSE SYNAPSE KERNEL TWEAKS.
4.ENJOY AND HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF IT WORKED WELL FOR YOU AND GIVE THESE DEVELOPERS THANKS AS WELL FOR THEIR WORK.
FLASH ALL FILES WITH TWRP.

Petition for Lollipop Update

Feel free to sign it
https://www.change.org/p/john-j-leg...utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink

Encourage your friends who have m919 to sign this!
Dear m919 users, let's come together to sign this petition to put some pressure on T-mobile to update m919 to lollipop.

Signed it

Signed it

I signed it anyway but just an FYI , youcan flash the lollipop roms and kernel from the i9505 forum. The Tmobile m919 and the i9505 as well as the 1337 are the same phone with the same specs. The only difference is the LTE frequencies for high speed data, which can be adjusted with a carrier unlock. I honestly don't think T-mobile will release Lollipop for our 2 year old phones, especially with Android M around the corner and the new phones from apple samsung etc. I have flashed countless I9505 lollipop roms on my tmobile m919 with kernels with no issues at all.
So far this is the best most stable Lollipop TW rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2427629.

It's a nice idea but T-Mo has abandoned the phone for all but serious security issues (like Stagefright which prompted the OH3 release). In fact I doubt any carrier for any phone will at this point initiate a new lollipop build, with M around the corner. Sure, there might be lollipop builds still in the queue that will come out for a few more months.
For what's worth, I updated my M919 phone to OH3, ran it through its paces, and found when I went to Camera the first time it did a firmware update for the camera. I wonder if that will help with some of the camera bugs floating around out there.
But just the boot sequences T-mo gives are so noisy and annoying, and I had forgotten about them for the year I was on SlimKat. I quickly flashed a Danvdh's Lollipop GPE ROM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2539361
Unless you need T-Mo proprietary features (wifi calling, primarily) your best bet is just to update firmware to the latest, then if you want lollipop, flash a ROM.

If you want mid or long-term support for OS updates on your android phone, I got bad news for you
http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...f-support-lifetimes-for-ios-vs-nexus-devices/
Our beloved T-mobile S4 started with Android 4.2.2 at release (T-mobile version came out early May 2013)
Was updated to Android 4.4.4 (September 2014).
Total of ... 17 months of OS update support (granted there have been other updates, i.e. NK2 4.4.4 and Stagefright).
So you buy your phone on Day 1 of release with a 2-year contract, and they've basically stopped doing any significant updates 7 months before your contract is even over.
For a phone that has the hardware to run the latest and greatest, this is some pretty sorry sh*t.

^that

This is really just so we could try some s6 ports....

Pretty sure you don't. Albe95's I9505 S6 port should work just fine. You can find that in the I9505 development forum. There's a port of Albe95's port in the Tmo S4 development forum that was last updated 8/11/15. I haven't tried it, but if you do let us know how you like it.

Signed and gave them my two cents worth -----> "The S4 is still working and is my daily driver. I spent $500 on this phone, the least you could do is update it to Lollipop which isn't even the latest OS from Android. The Canadian version of this phone SGH-M919V has Lollipop, why can't we?"

Update to newest modem and firmware, then install CarHdRom from here.. its lollipop and everything works.
Xposed is tricky on LP so google how to install on lollipop for the guide. It requires a .zip and flashing from recovery, to get xposed working.

Safe ROMs for unlocked boot loader?

I understand there are no safe MM ROMs once the boot loader is unlocked.
Other than that, can we install any of the ROMs for DE devices without worry?

"Safe ROM?" I'm not sure I follow your question.
I would not take the recently released Marshmallow OTA. It will relock your bootloader. And while you might be able to roll back to 5.1.1 and re-root, for me it's simply not worth the hassle. The .tar files developers need to make a Marshmallow ROM for our Verizon phones should be out any day. Give the wizards a week or so after that to whip up their magic. That's one option.
Another option would be to amble on over to the generic Note 4 forum, where there is a healthier ROM development environment. Many of these ROMs will work with your 5.1.1 bootloader and modem. The basic drill for making one of these ROMs work is to ignore the directions for flashing updated bootloaders and modems, flash the basic ROM and any fixes, then apply one of louforgiveno's data fixes. Stick with ROMs developed for N910F/G models.
My personal Marshmallow favorite... it's the only ROM I've tried other than CM13... is Dr. Ketan's. It has elements of both the Note 5 and S7. Does it have all of the newest goodies of the OTA such as Wifi calling? Nah. Since I don't really need it, I don't miss it. But everything I need for it to work does. Your mileage may vary.
Happy ROMing!

If your question is "can I install any of the ROMs meant for a DE on my retail Note 4" the answer is yes. I've tried PaulPizz, CM13, Kyubi, and Dr. Ketan and got them all to work on my phone. You just need to make sure you download all of the proper files and thank the devs. If any MM ROMs do come they will be listed in the "Android Development Section" along with all of the other ROMs that work on this device (retail or DE).

I'm pretty sure what the OP means is that for all those like me who have the Retail SM-N910V, it would be nice to compile a list of all working ROMs for our phones and what methods of installation were used. You have your ROMs that were installed via Odin and ROMs that were installed via TWRP. I'm not sure what the difference is, other than with TWRP you can install more than one ROM, right? Additionally, we want to make sure we're all using the correct files, that is, at least avoid the ones from Verizon that will probably re-lock our phones.

Follow the link to the generic Note 4 forum. Go to the Snapdragon subforum. Pick a ROM. Do not flash the bootloader or modem if the instructions say to. Just flash the ROM and any fixes. Go to louforgiveno's thread with the data fixes. Pick the appropriate fix and flash. The Nameless ROM at quick glance looks like a fairly unmodified Marshmallow TouchWiz ROM. Most of the others are ports, mostly Note 5 and S7 marriages.

If you dabble in this ROM flashing game long enough, you'll find that often not everything works as it should. Flashing doesn't go as smoothly as we'd like, and sometimes some of the features don't work properly or at all. Forced closes and random reboots are also part of the frustrations.
It all works out to a risk/benefit analysis. Will I be happier with my phone being able to customize it further? Will the new features gained outweigh the features lost? On the Dr Ketan's ROM that I'm using, the fingerprint sensor doesn't work properly. I don't miss it since I wasn't happy with the way it worked originally. I've had his ROM on my phone for over a week with the only hiccups being self induced. Recovering my backup makes everything all new and shiny again.

Which version did you flash for Dr. Ketan rom? I am on cm 13 now would like to try dr. ketan, i am a little bit unsure on the exact directions for the 910v from what I have read though as long as don't flash any bootloader files and apply the data fix I should be fine I can always flash back. Question is do i use F or G download for the rom, and what specific order do i have to flash the rom, h-vitamin, and data fix? any help would be appreciated.

So long as you're still on the 5.1.1 bootloader, you can use any version of Dr Ketan's ROMs. I was using the M5 version. I haven't tried this ROM or any of the other Snapdragon variants since I upgraded to the 6.0.1 bootloader. From what I've read people have not been able to get data and wifi to work.
The drill to install Dr Ketan's ROMs is to backup your working setup using recovery, wipe Dalvik/ART, cache, system, and data, flash the ROM, the M5 fix, boot into the ROM but don't sign in to Google or Samsung. Go back to recovery and flash louforgiveno's M3 data fix. (I haven't checked into his thread lately and he may have a fix for M5. Dr Ketan rolled back his base which is why the M4 fix doesn't work.) Boot into the ROM, sign in to Google/Samsung as needed and profit.
Note: I didn't see any provision for HD/wifi calling in Dr Ketan's ROM which seems to be important to a lot of people. I also haven't been to the thread in about a week to see if there's a M6.

Hope you can work it out. I tried every data fix and kernel in every conceivable combination, and nothing worked. I asked louforgiveno if he'd look into it, and he responded he'd have to swap in all the 6.0 stuff into a new data fix for us, so I hope that meant yes! He has been so helpful to all the different note 4 variants.

This also helped for r4 specific instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/help/root-method-t807r4-10-5-t3326827
I too am actually looking for help for this device once you get to this point. The device is asking to do the official lollipop update, will taking that mean that I have to re-root? And then yeah, is the LP bootloader good to use up through MM and N? Do any of the newer ROMs even work for the 807r4? Doesn't seem to be a lot of r4 specific stuff out there but 805 root method worked fine.

It seems to me the only Rom that is compatible with the 807R4 is the Superskilled on KK...I wish there was an easier way than reading through each and every Rom release and searching 807, 807R4...Superskilled is the only Rom that mentions it will work for the R4...unless I've missed something...I hope I missed something. A Rom list for 807R4 would be nice. I'd also like to know if I've rooted and installed TWRP can i update to LP then MM? LP might be possible but I don't think MM is because 807R4 did not get MM update yet. Sorry for rambling.

I ended up trying to do the OTA and it failed so I flashed the LP stock image though recovery and lost root/twrp but the same method from above worked fine. I'm happy enough with it at this stage, totally serviceable tablet on rooted LP but it is a shame nothing more will be done for this amazing device because it got stuck with the minority processor. I've actually bought a T900 to replace the 807r4 that I'm going to sell to my roommate who just wants a nice device and isn't a CM addict. Most of the tab pro line had the same hardware as the 807r4 I think? I wonder how difficult it would be to adapt any of those roms for someone who knows how do such things?
T320 - TAB Pro 8.4 WiFi - Snap 800
T325 - TAB Pro 8.4 LTE - Snap 800
T520 - TAB Pro 10.1 WiFi - Exynos 5420
T525 - TAB Pro 10.1 LTE - Snap 800
T900 - TAB Pro 12.2 WiFi- Exynos 5420
T905 - TAB Pro 12.2 LTE - Snap 800
They use adreno 330s just like the tab s too

Thanks, got it. Now to figure out which method works to actually get a root/twrp installation without going through all that again. Any hints there?

Cool 1st one.
Thanks. I just downloaded Odin file today and was gonna update my phone and do this to it myself with superr.
Thank you, now I don't need to.

anyone know what roms can successfully be flashed with this as the base? Looking for a smooth port.. Current N7 rom is having a lot of random restarts and camera problems

I'm not for sure but most likely CM14 would work.
And I know ,when it comes out, @tx_dbs_tx N7 port is based on pj1. Which is only 1 firmware away, so it might work.
But this file isn't gonna flash the firmware part that would be the base. You have to use the Odin file to flash the boot loader and modem.
This file is for after you update to pk1. If you want to stay stock but without all the bloat. And deodexed for easier modding.

@carlosggb what's your thoughts on this update as far as basic smoothness, battery life, network and such? Better, worse, about same? Or is it mainly security updates?
Thanks.

@aaron74 , i feel battery life was great the first day, which is not easy to get on a first cycle, performance is good but havent had enough time to push it as im working with @13druber on Dtux Rom v7 so my phone is in test mode.
But it feels solid and is the safest yet too, so if security is a concern, this is the way to go, PK1

Thanks, I'm getting ready to Odin it now.
Plus awesome to hear about Dtux v7. Besides testing cm14 and N7 ports, It's the only N4 software Rom I use. It's the most customisable Rom that's still N4ish. If that makes any sense to ya.
Looking forward to it.

is it possible to enable the "open with" default behavior menu option?

I've been waiting for that port with baited breath.

I'm surprised more people aren't commenting on this rom. Are people moving to some other rom or staying with an old debloated rom? I am thinking about moving to this to get the added security stuff.
Thank you for your hard work on this and the other rom(s).

They are moving to this DTUX CORP ROM V7 - REVELATIONS (PK1 BASED)

Ya, I am following that thread and have tried the earlier version of the rom. I'm a novice simple user and that rom seems complicated to me so I've stayed away from it. It looks really cool and I want to make the move but I get cold feet. Stupid, I know.
Again, thank you for this debloated room.

This Latest version is the easiest yet made by me to install, after you have a functional Stock debloated Pk1, just download the modset and follow the flow

Added Hotspot Mod and Root+Busybox for Stock Rooted Fans!

I just made the move. I'm not sure if I selected things correctly, but I'm on dtux.
Can I rerun modset whenever to make changes or do I need to redo the whole rom?

You can rerun the modset all the times you want, just take these two things in consideration:
1-If you change kernel you must leave ticked Supersu and Busybox on the last page, otherwise untick them.
2-On the first page after clicking on installation, Make sure you pick"Apps and Extra Mods" instead of "Install ModSet" when you are adding new apps, xposed modules or just changing other settings.
ENJOY DTUX ROM!

Can this rom play Pokemon go?
