[Q] Help me chosing a ROM for my Note 4 (SnapD: N910F) with a working Xposed

Hi all, I come from a Note 2 which I loved, but it was asking for a replacement..
So I have recently bought a Note 4 SnapDragon (N910F), It came with LoliPop 5.01,
LP5 is not that bad, but I haven't been able to make Xpose run on it..
So I decided to go back to KK4.4, tried several 4.x ROMs, but the only only one that has worked so far is the X-Note Rom.
(Some KK4.4 I tried to download just are not available anymore, or they didn't work on my phone,
others asked for Samsung activation, the download audio trick doesn't work)
Now (with KK4.4) Xposed is running flawlessly (same as on my old note2), but..
I'm having some issues with screen lag when writing or browsing, and a factory mode message every reboot
(tried the rm efs subdir, but it just isn't there)
I also have no clue how to make my home button wake up the phone (with LP5 it was doing it)..
So besides that, I would like you guys to recommend me a ROM for my note 4, that just works fine with Xposed.
I don't care if kk4.4 or lp5..
Thanks in advance,

I've had the same issue with every Rom both kitkat and lollipop (factory mode). It's your WiFi. If you reboot your phone with WiFi switched on this message appears. I think the problem is Knox related. The only solution ihr found is to wait twenty seconds after your pin code and then switch WiFi on.

Actually every deodexed Lollipop is xposed ready so you are free in your choice. All of available roms at Snapdragon section are good so it depends what you want. Some are more design oriented, other tend be as lightweight, as smooth as possible and so on. So it is difficult to suggest you something with just xposed compability Provide more info what is important for you or just look around in snapdragon development section

CM13/MM Netflix Loading Issue on N910C

Could anyone of you guys kindly help me. I first flashed the unofficial Bliss rom based on cm13 first on my n910c. It was stable enough for daily use, maybe a bit rusty on kernel performance end but nothing too drastic. I however found one of my favourite and must have app Netflix would refuse to work on it whatsoever (loading spins forever when trying to play any movie/tv show). I have searched all over the net to understand why and now I also flashed this cm13 image to see if it could work in this rom. Result same issue!, I did the following and achieved no success
1) cache/dalvik clean and rebooted (the obvious) ALSO full factory wipe as well
2)a suggestion to rename/delete a certain liboencrypto.so
3)change my product model in build.prop
4)try a old xposed hack for tricking the app to think you are on unrooted phone
None of the above worked. I then flashed a lolipop simplerom5c image just to check if this issue is universal for all roms and I was wrong. Netflix ran with no issues in this one which uses a custom kernel and full rooted.
NOW MY actual question (pardon me for the boring and lengthy prologue)
Would flashing a custom kernel to CM13 for n910c possible? if so which one could anyone suggest? AND could it possible solve the dreaded Netflix issue?

Sleep of death in all Nougat ROMs

The global trouble with all nougat firmware
Hi guys. I amn't alone, I met 10-15 users at 4pda with such problem.
We have the bug at all nougat roms by any devs with different trees...
The sleep of death.
Personally I notice it after/during mobile internet using, but I'm not sure. For long time at home(for a week, for example) with WiFi I have no troubles. But if I am anywhere without WiFi and use 3g(don't have LTE in my country), my phone "sleeps" for some times during just one day... It isn't powered off as it's needed 10-15 seconds of button pressing to turn it on at least.
As the ROM and developer has no meaning I guess that here are the errors in the kernel. @fir3walk says that here are many bugs in our nougat tree and perhaps the trouble is involved in last_dmesg... Or some system force stopes, dozes work improperly.
Not many users have this trouble but it exists an a fact. So it would be great to detect an error and try to fix it. Perhaps not in nougat, at least in new Oreo(I haven't tried it yet so no information about this bug there). We have many ROMs, they are updated for some times a week, new roms are rolling out... But the bug stays still.
If someone else has such problem, write here. Perhaps somebody has any ideas and together we will be able to find solution...
So, all the devs who can detect an error, write us... Any tests, information, logs, etc.
P.S. By the way it is impossible to write logs of powering off(deep sleeping) via logcat or another's. If I run the logging I have no "sleepOFdeath".
It is really global trouble so let's try to fix it together.

I'm sorry for your trouble.
Lets start by figuring out which device is in question
I have a 3s prime and never saw this issue.
So do you have a 3s or 3x or 3s prime?

Hello OP, can i ask if you installed that MIUI Ported ROM based in nougat? Because when i installed it (twice) y faced this issue in every rom that i flashed afterwards, then decided to clean-flash miui fastboot rom and the problem was solved.
Maybe that's your problem.

i face it in rr rom but no in dnd rom

Guys did anyone here with the sod, flash global stable/developer in edl mode?

Hello. No, I didn't try miui based on nougat.
But other users say that they notice such trouble at miui(7 android) as well.
So it isn't the cause...

Also about my phone:
Redmi 3s, 2/16, 2016030, FPC, aa1 motherboard.

Will try to flash via miflash, as I faced no problems before this SOD at 7.1.2. Always flashed my phone via twrp.
By the way, guys, my 3s sleeps well on nougat, but it isn't econom in active mod.
For example, I have made a record at our device at 6.0.1 version - 17.5 hours of screen. Nougat isn't so optimized by now... 10-11 as maximum.

Rooting and choosing the best/stable combination

Hello everyone, i am new to the scene of the Mi A1, i bought the phone about 1 month ago and have been observing the forums, but i would like to ask some questions the community as i have not yet managed to find clear answers to the forums if someone can help me
1. If i root the phone is there a way to revert back to complete stock and get OTA's again?
2. In custom roms, can i get the stock camera working 100%?
3. Is there any custom rom that you recommend in terms of stability and battery life?
4. Are there any drawbacks to the custom rom scene?
5. Do you recommend the stock rom with a custom kernel or a custom rom altogether?
Thank you in advance for your answers, i hope that this thread might be useful to gather some questions altogether for anyone that might have wondered the same stuff as me

Hello,
1. There is a way to update OTA with magisk, but you will need you use magisk just as systemless, without touching system stuff. Alternative you can have root and just unroot everytime you want to update the ROM or you can manually flash the update... You can try this guide... https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/root-mi-a1-oreo-8-0-disabling-ota-magisk-t3728654
2. Stock camera works in custom ROMs, someone did a port somewhere in this forums... https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/themes/oreo-mia1-stock-rom-camera-app-custom-t3758543
3 and 4. Most of the custom ROMs are based on the same sources, LineageOS was one of the first "stable" ROMs so most of the ROMs are based on it, inheriting all of its bugs (haven't found a critical bug). I've tested a few ROMs and the mosts I liked in terms of battery life and stability are... LineageOS and Pixel Experience, you will need to test them out for yourself.
5. If you want to experience a more "stable" feeling stick to Xiaomi development, the latest stable version is 8.0 (with rumors of 8.1 coming soon). If you want latest Android updates and features go for a 8.1 custom ROM.
In my experience you will need to try all this things on your own, until you find a place where you feel comfortable with your phone. Just read guides on how to recover your phone from a bootloop and you are good to go!

I will answer only question number 4 because the guy above me said everything, by the way I prefer RR.
The drawbacks I found on custom roms are 2 for me...
1) Poor signal reception compared to stock
2) Sound quality is much better in stock compared to custom... (my opinion)

I am itching to root the device but to be honest the only thing i want is android 8.1 and a better battery, other than that i am pretty much satisfied with what i have. (and this is coming from someone that changed rom every other week on previous phones) Thank you for your replies, they were informative and greatly appreciated! I just hope Xiaomi updates the phone soon because it feels kinda outdated for an android one device

Want to find a fix to all custom ROM's bootlooping on my SM-J320FN (did not bootloop before)

Want to find a fix to all custom ROM's bootlooping on my SM-J320FN (did not bootloop before)
[
or alternatevly, i was wondering if modifying a some samsung galaxy SM-J320[something] nougat rom, to work on SM-J320FN would be possible (it has only android5.1.1 (lollipop) stock rom as far as im aware and i have searched quite a lot).
]
The thing is, i have the SM-J320FN (twrp and rooted) and for a while i ran various custom roms (based on nougat) on it with no problems. But then about a year ago it bootlooped on resurrection remix (which i had ran with not many problems for 1/2year). Then every custom rom (i tried RR, DotOS, ViperOS and more) began to give me a bootloop, only flashing the stock rom booted.
I wiped and formated everything i could, tried same country stock rom that i had originally and a different country one (thinking maybe the custom roms were not happy with something inside the stock rom that it was flashed after, but logically it does not seem even possible, as before flashing the custom one, the old one is wiped), but custom rom's just did not boot anymore. I could not log the boot either because it had boot animation but nothing showed in adb, i guess it did not get so far that it could connect with adb.
I suspect this may be caused by my camera not working (some hardware part most likely got damaged), because i think wiping my phone completely and flashing stock rom with Odin should restore every software part on the phone thus it would have to be something with hardware that's causing custom roms to bootloop, how else could the problem persist (i obviously might be wrong).
I don't remember when exactly the camera stopped working but i know for a fact that i had a custom rom at the same time, and it did not bootloop (for some time at least) and im also curious why this has not ever stopped the stock rom from booting if it is the case.
So basically what i wish i could do are two things. Firstly find what makes the stock roms able to boot correctly opposed to the custom ones. And secondly implement this to a similar models higher version rom or a custom rom (Nougat). Come to think of this, it seems a useful step to look how did the people that made these Nougat based rom's for SM-J320FN modify the rom so that it could run on it, the source code is open after all.
Why i want to have a higher android version on my phone? Because my countrys corona close contact detection app supports only 6.0 or higher and my banking app recently notified me that they will soon end support for my android version too (this is the real pusher for me as i use it very frequently and there is not really an alternative). And it would be nice to have some other apps too, that not compatible with Lollipop.
And yes, i know, just buying a newer phone would solve all my problems But im a minimalistic (and without money) person. The fact that i own a phone that is still working (or fixable) stops me mentally from buying a new one. Also as one would guess, i like tinkering with this kind of stuff (i study CS currently) and building a rom myself for my phone sounds like a cool and challenging project, as i have not done anything like this before (maybe this will help me: [guide]how to build/modify roms for samsung devices [7.0/6.0.1/maybe more]).
Anyways, i kinda got carried away with this post. But for now im tired and have to sleep so i'll just post this and will come back later to read this over, fix some mistakes (not a native english speaker) and add things i maybe missed.
If anyone read this through, im impressed and if you have the knowledge/time to answer then i Thank You in advance!

i need help i tried to install re dreaux but my phone bootloop on touch wiz custom rom so how can i fix that
