[Q] HELP: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910F) rooted + very very slow (AND MORE)

Hey, this is basically a question/help thread which I am currently experiencing with my Note 4 which I recently rooted.
I have been experiencing serious lag issues that have just made the use of my phone unbearable at this current time. The apps that I have installed which now have deleted to see if maybe this was experiencing the problems are: Freedom, Xposed Installer, Root File Manager, Root Checker, Adfree, Build.prop editor (Found a topic that said to edit the ro.securestorage.support=true to ro.securestorage.support=false ) Did that but didnt fix any problem. I will state below what kind of issues I am experiencing with the lag and other issues too.
When installing a new app from the play store or even from a downloaded APK it will take for ever to install from the APK and from the play store it will get stuck around 80% for about 30minutes before it starts installing then the install takes another 30minutes or so, same with installing straight from the APK. The lag issues consist of scrolling issues through the home screen (Happens every so often). A lot of keyboard issues when trying to type text to people its just a nightmare to use this.
I want to know what I can do to actually fix this issue, whether other people have had this issue, and whether people have any solutions. I am new to the android community and even newer to rooting, so I may be a bit of a "noob" but I learn very quickly. I dont feel like unrooting and reflashing to stock. (This is a last resort) But if push comes to shove I will do this.
Thanks for reading. Hopefully you guys can help me

Try this first, uninstall xposed framework, then install any apk (either standalone or from the play store) and report back to see if you have that problem.
If you don't have much set up, I recommend going back to stock via ODIN, see if installing app works properly.
If it doesn't, you might have a defective phone. If it does, then it must be a software issue which we can resolve.

Yeah, well I have already uninstalled xposed framework, as i said that I uninstalled everything that required root access (even when installing something that requests root access SuperSU takes about 10minutes to pick it up (This only happened after installing something but I didnt really take any notice at first) I will probably have to go back to stock, but being in canada right now and not at my actual home the internet is so slow to download the firmware -_-. Literally installing apps takes forever, uninstalling takes no time at all.

For me the culprit was exposed. Ended up having to restore my nand, and stay away from exposed.

You need to install the xposed module XSecureStorage.

Why we need install the XSecureStorage is something with privacy or S-Health problem I have the same problem, but I have installed Xposed since the first day and not have this problem until few days ago.
I like Xposed and use maybe the Instagram Downloader and Youtube Ad apps only so I want keep it.

After installed the Xposed Module XSecure Storage my apps install fast and without troubles, thanks Lessaj

XSecureStorage seems to solve the issue
Hi
Just a quick note to say that I was having the same issues after rooting and installing Xposed and that by installing XSecureStorage the problem appears to be solved.
So thanks Wanam for XSecureStorage and thanks to Lessaj :good: for pointing this out.

Get rid of DM-VERITY - For non root users

Rooted the phone on first day, then came across DNS66 app to block ads without root, based on what I was seeing, OOS is even providing agressive doze, so I was in a point to be able to use phone without greenify, so no root needed anymore. However when unrooted device, locked bootloader, the DM-VERITY error will not go away.
Tried a lot of methods available in XDA, nothing worked.
Here's what you do, flash the stock recovery from official downloads, the nougat version, then lock the bootloader, and sideload the entire ROM after wiping internal data from recovery. And it was gone.
I absolutely love OxygenOS. Since COS messed up, and I saw earlier releases of OOS for my OPO, I never thought they would come this far with great ROM development so fast. It's a great thing. This phone is unreal. There is no match for the value for money it is. Sure it would satisfy me more if it was a 2k display (spec wise), but this display is absolutely gorgeous. Perfect saturation level for my preference. It will be fun to see OOS get better. For the first time since I've become an advanced user, I'm using a phone without root permission, without sacrificing much for the stuff I need/use.

When I try sideload from official recovery "adb devices" either doesn't show my device at all or its says it's offline. Didn't you have this problem?

Just to correct you a bit it's not an error, but a warning. Phone operates normal
But thanks for the insight. Will look at DNS66

I just got my phone a couple days ago. Rooted and custom recovery and when I flashed 4.0.2, I had the dm-verity issue, but I just officially fixed it today by flashing this zip file.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70393513&postcount=72
If your question is... I am on 4.0.1 or 4.0.2 and this bootloader is for 3.5.4, will this work for me??
Simple answer... yes.
Works perfectly for me on 4.0.2
Also I haven't heard of the app you mentioned, but I am using AdGuard Pro, and it works great for me so far.
Also using the following apps.
CCleaner - I Run this every so often to cleanup app cache
ForceDoze
Hibernation Manager (I've used Greenify and it works great, but it needs Xposed to work). SInce Xposed is not yet available for Nougat I found this app to be a good alternative to Greenify and doesn't require root either.

Yep, thanks for the correction, that's a warning, but it annoyed the sh** out of me.
DNS66 you can find in f-droid. It creates a VPN and blocks all requests to ad servers. Pretty straightforward but awesome. Since adaway hosts are also included, plus a lot more, it blocks a lot of ads unless it's being fed by main application server.

I'm running at almost 8.5 hours SOT based on average since I went total unrooted stock yesterday. That is abnormally good !!
That too, without anything from the list you mentioned. I "was" using Greenify pro version, but now I'm not, yes I clean up cache always, using All-In-One Toolbox Pro.
Which suggests, OOS 4.0.2 doesn't actually need anything from outside apart from the functionalities it's providing in-built.

How to pass Safetynet test?

Hello, I have a problem with apps that need safetynet passed to get it working. Such as Snapchat or Pokemon GO. Second one actually does work sometimes, but the first one is giving me massive headache. I'm asking how to pass this test on roms based on LineageOS. I have tried to unroot it with no luck. Unrooting and systemless root also doesn't work. I've heard somewhere that locking bootloader could be a possible solution to that. But, how to lock it?
N910F + 7.1.1

As far as I know, Snapchat only has a problem with Xposed. Unable to comment on pokemon, never used it.
I installed and logged in to snapchat on a phone without Xposed, then used TB and copied the files to my phone with Xposed.
Everything works as it should. If that's not possible then uninstall Xposed first and reinstall it after you have snapchat.

I do not have Xposed. The trick with TB doesn't work for me anymore. I've tried to do backup on Touchwiz and CM 13 and then restore them on Lineage 14.1. No one worked, Snapchat tells to log in first. it is the only app I need to use, but I'm in love with Lineage.

Kind of. We are not able to log in into Snapchat on Lineage OS 14 yet. However, I've discovered a possible way to use the app,. This method has been working for me for last couple of days.
Every single time you want to install Lineage and use Snapchat you have to install Touchwiz based firmware that you can log in into the app on, simply log in, root the device, install Titanium Backup and make a backup of Snapchat. Copy the backup on the sd card. Then install Lineage OS, Snapchat, Titanium Backup, try to log in into Snapchat. I know it will say it can't connect to the server. Now restore backup of Snapchat via Tïtanium Backup - data only. Enjoy working Snapchat.
From what I've seen Snapchat makes little updates of user stats every 24h. Because you can't use backup older than 24hours otherwise it will not work. I am not sure about the exact time it's collecting stats. But a fresh backup works every time. It is very important to do a fresh backup and do a one try to log in into Snapchat.
I do not use Android Pay or Pokemon anymore.

It depends on whether you want to stick with Touchwiz or flash LineageOS. Every stock firmware let you log in to Snapchat without installing or flashing anything. Snapchat works on phone straight out of box.
Guide for snapdragon touchwiz
As I mentioned earlier, Snapchat works on every stock firmware. You do not need anything else. Just install Snapchat and log in, simple as that. Now, if you want to flash a custom TOUCHWIZ based rom it shouldn't be a problem to log in to the app. Even though it's custom rom, you're still able to log in. You do not need any backups at all.
Guide for snapdragon LineageOS
LineageOS is not a touchwiz based rom. Snapchat will never work on it until it gets official and be signed. If you want to install one of the builds and have Snapchat working you need to fo following steps:
1. Your phone needs to have a stock firmware (that is the one that comes out of the box, but also the ones you flash with odin)
2. Log in to Snapchat
3. Root your phone (for example using CF-Auto Root), you do not need recovery twrp to root your phone.
4. Turn your phone on
5. Install Titanium Backup, open it, do a backup of Snapchat
6. Open "My Files" that's stock file manager for Samsung's phones, go to your phone's storage search for Titanium Backup folder, open it and you'll see three files.
7. Copy all of them to your sd card.
8. Install custom recovery (like twrp), flash LineageOS, gapps
9. Log in to your Google account, download Snapchat, try to log in (I know it's going to fail, but it's important)
10. Go to LineageOS -> About phone -> Click a few times on Build number until it say you unlocked developer options
11. Go back to main settings menu, scroll down to the bottom, you'll see now Developer options, click on it
12. Search for "Root Access", click on it and select Apps and ADB
13. Install Titanium Backup, open it and close.
14. Open "Files" app, that's stock LineageOS file manager
15. Go to your sd card, select the files you backup (three files) and copy them to phone's storage -> Titanium Backup folder
16. Open Titanium Backup again, click on Snapchat -> restore -> data only.
17. Now you can open Snapchat and enjoy it.
Hope that help you

ok thanks bro, I have one more question, what is lineageOS all about, is it new or something? how come I would choose lineageOS over say touchwiz. what is the major differences? is it like CM roms vs normal roms, quicker, less bloatware, better battery life etc? or am I wrong about CM roms vs normal roms? tbh I don't even know the difference between auroa/cm/touchwiz.
do you have a short explanation of lineageOS for me? because from what I can tell, I should be definitely going lineageOS as it's more supported right now. I used to use omega rom on my old note 4 but support left, and I liked that rom except for random reboots and slightly poor battery life that I can kind of remember.
I'm so sorry man for asking stupid questions. I love customing my note 4 but I don't know exactly what I'm doing haha. I just know I love the extra features that aren't on stock, xposed being a major.
thank you man!

LineageOS is a continuation of CM, since CM stopped being developed and die. It's just CM with new name. LineageOS 14.1 is based on Android 7.1.1, which is the latest you can get right now. The major differences are speed, no bloatware, battery life is the same as stock touchwiz rom. The most important one is speed, I've never seen anything that fast as this is. The builds these days can be daily drivers since our developers fixed 95% of bugs. I can recommend you builds by @ripee he got links to them in the signature(triltexx), download pico google gapps and you're good to go.
The difference between auroa/cm/touchwiz. Correct way to list them is port roms/lineageOS/note 4 roms based on stock firmware. Port roms are ones that people port from other device such as S7, Note 5. It's still touchwiz right, but it's a port. That means it's made to work on our Note 4's. These days ports like Aurora / Norma are pretty much fully working apart from things like fingerprint scanner. LineageOS(old name - CM) - just read above. Note 4 roms based on stock firmware - that means developers use stock Note 4 firmware and they edit it. An example of that kind of rom is rom by ALEXNDR. It's a rock solid rom. Stock firmware, options to install with/without root or xposed and debloated. it is fully working because it's made on stock firmware for our devices.
I think you're be very happy with ripee builds of LineageOS, he makes them every day and uploads. Not a single random reboot or freeze, battery life 4-5 hours of SOT.
If you got any further questions, just ask. I'd love to answer you the best I can.

quality help mate, I really appreciate it. I'll go with lineageOS and go through the snapchat process on it (already worried I'm gonna screw up lol) but I'll give it a go.
one thing I've always hated was updates, I'd always had to fresh install, losing my calendar setup and over phone layout setup, settings, everything. I always wanted to dirty flash on an update but people said don't, what are your thoughts on ripees build?
so I'm gonna go through the process and do it over the next week, I got a lot on so can't transfer over from my lg v20 to note 4. I got the wrong damn lg v20 which has no roms or support lol...
I'm looking at emotionOS, what are your thoughts on it? I kind of want the extra features that a basic CM won't have. what you reckon?

I've rooted, installed flashify to flash twrp but it doesn't install it properly. I restart my phone and it goes automatically to download screen and says at the top in red phone could not boot normally. when in download mode I can't even vol up home power to get to twrp, nothing happens. any ideas why? so I'm stuck on download mode. I can get out if I install twrp on odin but then again when I try to get into recovery it instead goes to download mode and says phone could not boot normally.
I haven't got to flash the rom yet because I can't get twrp installed properly.
you know why? thanks man

one thing I've always hated was updates, I'd always had to fresh install, losing my calendar setup and over phone layout setup, settings, everything. I always wanted to dirty flash on an update but people said don't, what are your thoughts on ripees build?
so I'm gonna go through the process and do it over the next week, I got a lot on so can't transfer over from my lg v20 to note 4. I got the wrong damn lg v20 which has no roms or support lol...
I'm looking at emotionOS, what are your thoughts on it? I kind of want the extra features that a basic CM won't have. what you reckon?

I've rooted, installed flashify to flash twrp but it doesn't install it properly. I restart my phone and it goes automatically to download screen and says at the top in red phone could not boot normally. when in download mode I can't even vol up home power to get to twrp, nothing happens. any ideas why? so I'm stuck on download mode. I can get out if I install twrp on odin but then again when I try to get into recovery it instead goes to download mode and says phone could not boot normally.
I haven't got to flash the rom yet because I can't get twrp installed properly.
you know why? thanks man

I think it is the right time to chat a little through private messeges. I do not want to spam, just a kind of respect for moderators.

Hello, I have a problem with apps that need safetynet passed to get it working. Such as Snapchat or Pokemon GO. Second one actually does work sometimes, but the first one is giving me massive headache. I'm asking how to pass this test on roms based on LineageOS. I have tried to unroot it with no luck. Unrooting and systemless root also doesn't work. I've heard somewhere that locking bootloader could be a possible solution to that. But, how to lock it?

I am going it write it here if anyone is interested.
From what I've heard and read, you can't get Pokemon Go to work on LineageOS now. I've tested it and it's true. We have to wait till LineageOS get official. It will be signed, unrooted and every app that is based on Safetynet test would probably work just fine.
Snapchat works only if you have a backup of it.

I think it is possible and should work. You can also use Package Disabler. You can debloat your phone using it, it doesn't require root.

I've gotten around the xposed snapchat thing by using the SudoHide app and hiding the xposed installer and supersu.

First off, I am no expert at all on this matter. But maybe a different kernel, if ones even available. I haven't had the time to even test lineage out yet, so I'm not familiar as to whether their kernel is permissive or enforcing? But that possible might have something to do with it.
Maybe someone with more details can answer that for us?
Edit: wow, bro. My xda was all fudge up. It was not showing any of these replies that are here. I hope you got that solved. I thought that was a new post, as it showed 0 replies. Didn't mean to reply to old, answered question.

What ROM setup can I use Netflix with?

I have Lineage Marshmallow and Netflix did not show in Google Play. I installed Magisk through its manager, made sure Hide was on, then Netflix was still not in Play. I downloaded an apk from a trusted site (can't remember want it was at the moment, apkmirror or something like that). It started bootlooping during that install. Had to wipe and reinstall the ROM.
What ROM and magisk combo can I use to get Netflix running? I need Marshmallow or higher, and the camera to function. Suggestions?

Stock Nougat.
Face it, apps are getting better at seeing the **** you do, so just play by the rules. That or stop using ****ing Lineage OS, use AOSP 7.1.2 and stuff, its less customized and thus a bit harder for apps to see with safetynet or similar, but the thing is, at that point you might as well just run stock.

How do I get stock Nougat that has a working cam, and miracast? I was of the impression that Nougat roms disabled both.

notifications not coming in from certain apps

So i dont know when it started, But i am no longer getting notifications from a handful of apps that i know of. Outlook and Instagram are the main one that I use all the time that I know for a fact i am not getting.
I have been through all the notification settings and deep sleep settings and nothing is out of the ordinary.
So i am wondering if it is time to do a reset/wipe and start fresh. Which leads me to what is the way of doing that? I am running unlocked boot loader, Magisk rooted. TWRP recovery.

Same happenes to me but with whatsapp, I get a notification sound but the notification disappears after a few seconds, I think it started ever since I've updated to oxygenos 10.3.1.
At least I have a mi band that shows the notification at real time.

I know this is an old post and I see no one has replied. But I am having the same issue. Unlocked, rooted, using magisk modules and only one app OfferUp is not getting notifications.
Did you ever find out what was causing this problem?

Did you check the battery optimisation settings and is it on Don't optimise?
And are you using Greenify by any chance?

Opps

Yes I did the don't optimize. Not using greenify. I read on reddit and other places that this is an issue with OOS 10. I have read many have done everything from disabling deep idle sleep magisk module, turn off battery optimization, turn off adaptive battery and you name it..... Non resolve the problem.
Some say factory reset work and other not. What I have read it's a sure fix is going back to OOS 9.0.9 or installing a Custom ROM.

Nope. I'm on Lineage 16, and truly suffer from lack of notifications. I had double tap to wake active, and just turned off for testing

A dozen or so posts into the magisk module thread, that app is mentioned. I'm gonna give it a try.

Currently installing PiXeN OS and will see if notification problem gets fixed.

Installed PiXeN OS and notifications are working fine without any mods or special settings. Was able to learn how to get the OP Launcher in PiXeN OS. The latest patchable version QuickSwitch is able to patch is version OnePlus Launcher 4.4.8. Its stable and it has Google Feeds automatically. So far its stable and everything is working as it should....... Cant ask for more, Stable custom rom with stock OP camera, gallery and now OP launcher.
Edit;:
Got the latest OP Launcher v4.5.9 working on PiXeN OS.

Just got OfferUp notifications working and it seems I am getting more notifications now. I did a couple of things, but I think the one that fixed this whole notification issues was installing a custom kernel.
I installed ElementalX Kernel and after that I got notifications from the apps that I was not receiving it. I also disabled RAM Boost from system settings. I did noticed better performance with RAM Boost disabled. I believe ElementalX Kernel improved my OnePlus 6T overall. I am in Stock OOS 10.3.5 rooted with Magisk and TWRP permanently flashed.
