Hi, All.
This is our first post on XDA, so please excuse us if we fail to follow all the rules. Please let us know if it happens, and we'll fix it right away. Thank you very much!
Tera is based on AOSP 7.1.2 with capability to extend your smart phone storage to the cloud.
We made a file system that connects to cloud storage services and make them look like local storage.
We also made changes to the Android framework to support this file system for the Android user experience.
# Changelog
20170804 : first released
20170808 : remove verify system partition for gapps install
20170810 : Disable some encryption functions to enable direct boot in some apps. (e.g Phone app wasn't able to find SIM card in some cases.)
20170823 : Support restore data from google drive, and release Tera AOSP source .
# Disclaimer
Tera is a work in progress. The development team cannot be responsible for any damage to your device or your data. It has been tested extensively and we deem it stable enough for daily use in most cases. (We gave it to our boss's 78-years old mom to use.)
We are still developing it and adding more features, so we do collect some information to aid future development. You should agree to let us collect the following before using the ROM:
* IMEI
* storage usage amount (NOT storage content)
* data transfer amount (NOT the data being transferred)
* list of installed apps (NOT app data)
* IP address
# Features
* Extend phone local storage with Google Drive cloud storage, while using the local flash memory as a cache.
* Apps can use the entire cloud space as if they were physical storage. If your Google Drive has available quota of 100GB, all apps will see 100GB of local storage available.
* Data will be stored in your Google Drive in a folder call 'tera.<IMEI>'.
* You can 'pin' apps to keep them in local storage for offline use. This can be done in the Tera management app or in Launcher (drag and drop to the top).
* If the "pinned space" is too crowded, you can 'unpin' apps the same way to free up the space.
# Known issues
* Occasionally the phone gets stuck in power off sequence. Force power off (press the power button for 10 seconds) will work.
* The Google account used for storage cannot be changed without a factory reset.
* Out of (cloud) space condition is not handled. The system will just keeps retrying.
* Some apps will display incorrect cloud capacity if your cloud space is more than 8TB. (Overflow in API level 18 and before.)
* The Google Drive total size is displayed in the dashboard, not counting the space used by activities other than Tera.
* Data stored in Google Drive is split into blocks, so you won't see the files directly. We have a utility that gives you the file view for Swift backends, but not for Google Drive yet. We're working on it.
* Data encryption is currently turned off. The system should work with it turned on, but we haven't tested that.
# Installation Steps
1. Download image files and flash. (All existing data will be lost.)
2. Boot to TWRP recovery and sideload gapps.
3. In order to perform an OAuth for access to Google Drive, you will need a web browser. e.g. Chrome or Firefox.
# Usage
1. Open the Tera App.
2. You will see three choices for the backend: Google Drive, SWIFT, AWS S3.
2a. Google Drive is, well, Google Drive. This is what you want.
2b. SWIFT is for future use in private cloud backends, not available right now.
2c. AWS S3 is also for the future, not available right now.
3. So please choose Google Drive and continue to grant access.
4. You will be brought to the Tera dashboard.
5. Enjoy!

Yes, but we focus on filesystems for extend phone storage with various cloud⁄nas options and what's important, you can control your backend!!
And our final goal is let all Android users can enjoy with this feature.

Hi, we just use it as UUID, only for statistics
We haven't find a good way to do this.
Any suggestions ?
Very good idea but if I understood the main idea the phone need a constant internet connection to open an app so we are really limited.

First of all, if the App is still in the cache, it will work without an Internet connection. With an 8GB cache, most Apps you used recently will likely stay in the cache.
We also provide a feature called "pinning" to keep an App in the cache. That way it will always work even without the Internet connection. The default setting is to unpin all Apps and you can pin individual Apps in Tera Management app.

We display the number backend gave , 10T!
Giving your IMEI to someone is not the wisest thing in the world. I'd suggest you find a different way to generate a UUID.

Google Drive replies with 10TB available when queried, so we display that. But as you use more storage, the available storage space is always 10TB and will not decrease. For example, after you store 1TB of data, your total space becomes 11TB and available space is still 10TB.

Also, if you want to develop this ROM for another device you may need another unique identifier. Wifi only tablet devices don't have an IMEI because they don't have a cell connection. However, you could use MAC address (use Wifi adapter MAC if no cellular radio exists.)

Introduction
Clarity is an Xposed module and root Android application for increasing the size and quality of contact thumbnails in the Android contacts database. It's comprised of two components. An Xposed modification and a root-required Database Processor.
Clarity also increases the quality and size of locally stored album art.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Xposed Mod
Android stores two versions of contact images. The contact photo and the contact thumbnail. While both are downscaled appropriately from the original image, the two are very different in size. Contact photos clock in at around 720×720 pixels or so depending on the original image. Contact thumbnails are a measly 96×96 pixels. Contact photos are used in places where contact imagery is going to be distinctively large like the KitKat/Lollipop Phone app. Or when you receive an incoming call. Thumbnails are used for notifications, messaging applications, and other roles which the full contact photo is unnecessarily big. Unfortunately, as screen PPIs have skyrocketed since the 96×96 limit was put in place, contact thumbnails are now too small for their original purpose. Regardless, most applications continue to use contact thumbnails.
Clarity forces Android to use a user-defined size (defaulting to 256×256) when adding contact thumbnails to the database. While these new images are larger and look much better they will load slightly slower and increase memory requirements. For newer devices this should not be a problem. For reference, I have not witnessed any side effects on my Galaxy S4 using the default 256×256 setting. Since the size can be adjusted you can optimize it for your device.
In the name of simplicity, Clarity does not change the method Android uses to downscale contact thumbnails, just the final dimensions. However since Clarity allows you to increase the size of the thumbnail and consequently decrease the magnitude of the downscale, there will be noticeably fewer artifacts in your new thumbnails.
The Xposed module does not magically increase the quality of thumbnails already added in the database. It only affects newly added/updated contacts and images. To upgrade your entire contacts database either use the Database Processor detailed below or re-import the contacts. Re-importing may require you to deconnect/desync the account the contacts are associated with and then reconnect/resync the account. Some sync applications may have a force refresh option and that should work nicely. For instance, HaxSync has a Force redownload option under its contact settings.
When the Xposed module is activated, Clarity will also up the size of locally stored album art (for instance, MP3s on the external storage). Just like the contact thumbnail part of the module, existing album art is unaffected. To get Android to reprocess all the album art on your device you must delete all the files found in the albumthumbs directory. This is usually found somewhere on your external storage. Popular paths are /storage/emulated/legacy/Android/data/com.android.providers.media/albumthumbs and /storage/sdcard0/Android/data/com.android.providers.media/albumthumbs. Different devices and ROMs can have different paths but the last /Android/data/com.android.providers.media/albumthumbs bit should stay the same. Once that directory has been cleared out, higher quality album art will be regenerated by Android on demand (as they are needed). See Android issue 73635 for more information about the album art problem.

Database Processor
In addition to the Xposed-based modification described above, Clarity includes a Database Processor. This powerful feature forcibly updates every contact thumbnail in your database. It rips out the internal contacts database file, finds all your contacts with photos and puts in new thumbnails. It'll then replace the old database with the new one. It is highly recommended to immediately reboot after processing to avoid Android going berserk. It will if you don't.
While powerful, the Database Processor is also extremely dangerous. I am not responsible for any damage to your device as a result of using Clarity. It performs several operations as root and modifies core Android files that were never meant to be touched by anything other than Android itself. I highly recommend a full recovery-based backup of your device alongside the built-in backup feature. Please use the dry-run feature first (hell, multiple times even) to ensure the operation will succeed for your ROM. It is possible a successful dry-run could still fail when doing the real-deal so, as I mentioned before, backup your stuff. The built-in contact backups will be saved to a Clarity folder on your "primary" external storage. What primary means depends on your ROM and device. It could be your actual external SD card or it could be an internal storage location. Regardless, the current backup location will be noted, assuming backups are enabled, in the processor's log. As an added bonus, if the backup feature is on it will also save the log file alongside your backups!
The Database Processor has been tested on CM (CyanogenMod) 10 (based on Android 4.1.2), CM 11 (based on Android 4.4.4), CM 12 (based on Android 5.0.2), and CM 13 (based on Android 6.0.1). It should work on any AOSP-based ROM from Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0) to Marshmallow (6.0). For stock ROMs and anything created by carriers I have no idea. If it works for you please report back! If it doesn't, well, report that too.

Installation
Make certain you have Xposed installed before continuing.
Install the app by a) searching for it in the Xposed Installer or b) manually through the APK provided on GitHub or the Xposed website.
Configure the app in its settings panel. It can be accessed through the module section of the Xposed Installer or by the launcher shortcut.
Enable the module in the Xposed Installer.
Reboot.
Done!
The Xposed module will only update contact photos that are modified or added to the database after it is turned on. The database processor will attempt to update the contact photos in place and right away. To avoid using the database processor your contact photos must be manually refreshed. How/if this can be done and how easily is dependent on how you sync your contacts. For instance, if you use HaxSync you can update all your photos by going to Settings app -> Accounts -> HaxSync -> Advanced Settings -> Contact Settings -> Check Force redownload. Hit back twice. Select your account name at the top. Click Contacts to uncheck it. Recheck it and wait for sync to finish.

FAQ
Q: Something went horribly wrong! How do I restore from one of the backups?
A: Ouch! Clarity stores backups on your "external storage." Depending on your device and ROM this could be an actual SD card or internal. If your device has two check both. It will be in a directory named Clarity. In the Clarity backup directory there will be sub-directories with dates. Select the one before everything went to hell. You'll find up to three files: contacts2.db contacts2.db-journal, and dbprocessor.log The .db file(s) are the actual contacts databases. The dbprocessor.log is your log file and has lots of great information for us to use. Now that we have located everything we need let's get restoring.
Method #1 - By hand
If your device still boots and you can navigate around (even if things are crashing every few seconds) try this. If you have a custom recovery that supports adb then this will work as well if you boot into it.
Grab the adb command line tool. For Windows check here. For Linux and Mac see here.
Now put your device in debug mode. Go to the settings app. Tap About phone. Keep tapping Build number until it says you are a developer. Go back and select Developer options. Turn the development options "on" if needed. Under Debugging turn on Android debugging.
Now connect your device to your computer. It should say something about debugging being enabled in the status bar. Make certain your phone is unlocked. If it says something about allowing the computer debug access to your phone please accept it.
Open up a command line or terminal. On Linux I'm going to assume you know what to do. On Mac it's the Terminal app. On Windows it's C:Windowssystem32cmd.exe
Type adb version and hit enter. If your get something about it being not found then adb isn't installed in your PATH or you're not in the directory in which adb was extracted. You can navigate to that directory with the cd command. So to navigate to the system32 folder on Windows, for instance, I'd type cd C:Windowssystem32 and hit enter.
Type adb shell and hit enter. This will dump us into a shell instance directly on your device.
Type id and hit enter. If the first bit is not uid=0 then unlock your device and type su and hit enter. If your device prompts for superuser access please grant it.
Navigate to the directory in which your backups are stored on your device. For me this would be something like cd /storage/emulated/legacy/Clarity/2015-Something
You should now see the backup files if you type ls and hit enter. Great. Now to move these into place.
Open your dbprocessor.log file on your device through a file manager or move it onto your computer to read its contents. You can read it through the command line if you wish but it's much more convenient to be able to copy and paste if needed.
Note the Contacts UID and Contacts directory. Mine is 10006 and /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts respectively.
Execute cp contacts2.db /your/contacts/directory/databases/contacts2.db and hit enter. For me this full command is cp contacts2.db /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db
If you have a contacts2.db-journal file do the same except with that file. For me this is: cp contacts2.db-journal /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db-journal
Now to correct the permissions. Type chown +UID:+UID /your/contacts/directory/databases/contacts2.db* and hit enter. For me this is chown +10006:+10006 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db*
Reboot immediately by typing reboot and hitting enter.
All done. Your contacts database has been restored.
Method #2 - Recovery
Took a backup with your custom recovery before processing? Just restore from the backup to get your device back to normal.

Looking forward to this project!...?
Testing after a while on XPERIA!
This is awesome, especially for Android wear!! Does it help with WhatsApp too? I fear not since it has different pictures...which are ugly because of an 8bit definition worth of MS-DOS "prince of persia"!!
So, that said, which apps are affected in addition to messenger and hangouts? Textra maybe? Others?
Cheers and keep up the good work!!

It will help with any application or system software that makes use of the contact thumbnail stored in the database. From my personal experience this is a majority of applications. It's also why Clarity fixes contact imagery on Android Wear apps/notifications. It will not work for any apps that use their own contact system instead of the built-in Android one. A good example is Google Hangouts which will use its own contact photos for your Google+ contacts. Luckily the Google+ photos tend to be pretty decent quality-wise. Hangouts will fall back to your contacts database if that person does not have a Google+ profile and so Clarity will help there.

Great, thanks again. The Xposed modification that Clarity makes to Android can actually be done by ROM devs (or of course Google). I'm assuming at least someone out there does this.
If you're a ROM maintainer consider adding Clarity's simple modification to your ROM. Reference the XClarity.java file for implementation details.

I've always wondered what the hell is going on when I get a new phone and some contacts images are blurry when they never were before in the previous phone. Happens everytime. Downloading now.
app seemed to work great on TMO Note 4 with CM 3/24 nightly . . . . until I pushed the Home button. I am then asked which launcher I want to use as Home and I choose Nova (which I already chose before). Then I get message that says "Unfortunately Android System has stopped." This happens every time I hit the home button. It happens if I choose Google Now Launcher too. This problem happened immediately after installing the mod and hadn't happened before. Still happens if I disable mod and reinstall Nova. Any ideas?
EDIT: if I go to settings - home and choose launcher there, it fixes it. Not sure why that is necessary. You should be able to choose default launcher when it ask you if you always want to use that launcher....

Like an idiot, I didn't read the entire OP. So, I just installed it and rebooted and had the issues I mentioned. In other words, I hadn't even tried the DB Processor yet. I have since read the OP and ran the DB Processor and had no issues. All is well. Still not sure why what I described happened. As long as others know they might have to assign home launcher via settings, it's not a big deal. Thanks for your fast response.
So, in theory, would you be able to install this and run the DB processor to create hi-res thumbnails and then remove the app? I ask because Xposed is not stable on my device (it works, but causes random reboots), so running this and getting it setup then removing Xposed would be ideal for me. Or I can just try and modify my ROM to get it to work without Xposed (I haven't read the implementation details yet).
EDIT: To answer my own question - YES, this works Made a nandroid, got everything setup, removed Clairty and Xposed, and restored my /system partition. Good to go!
Doesnt work on Lollipop TouchWiz on the Note 4. Expected but o well
What size are y'all using? 256 or increased it?
---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------
It refuses to change detect contacts
Out of all, it only finds 1 photo and claims it's not even square
Any help?
I don't see any differences. LG G2 with CM 12.
ok it works now.
Hey guys the much awaited DualBootPatcher is here for our otus don't believe me test out yourself
It can patch:
Custom kernels for multi support
ROMs so that they can be installed as secondary :victory:
Google Apps packages :silly:
SuperSU so that it can be used in other ROMs :cyclops:
xposed :laugh:
Instructions for dual booting
Before doing anything, download the Dual Boot Patcher app and install.
The patcher offers several locations for installing ROMs:
Primary: This is normally used for installing a zip to the primary ROM. It is not required, but is strongly recommended because it has code to prevent the zip from inadvertently affecting other ROMs.
Secondary: Secondary is the first multiboot installation location. It installs to the system partition. This is a good spot for installing a second ROM because it doesn't take any space away from the internal storage.
Multi-slots: There are 3 multislots: multi-slot-1, multi-slot-2, multi-slot-3. These install to the cache partition. This is specifically for devices, like the Galaxy S4, that have a massive cache partition.
Data-slots: There can be an unlimited number of data slots. These install to the data partition and eat up space on the internal storage. This is useful for devices where the system partition is nearly full and the cache partition is tiny. These slots are named "data-slot-[id]", where "id" is something you provide in the app.
Extsd-slots: There can be an unlimited number of Extsd slots. These install to the external sd partition and eat up space on the external storage. This is useful for devices where the system partition is nearly full and the cache partition is tiny and your data partition is getting full. These slots are named "extsd-slot-[id]", where "id" is something you provide in the app.
App and data sharing
DualBootPatcher very recently got support for sharing apps and their data across ROMs. Maybe sharing is somewhat of a misleading term. The feature actually makes Android load the shared apps and data from a centralized location, /data/multiboot/_appsharing. So you're not sharing apps from one ROM to another per se. The ROMs are just loading the apps from one shared location. Let me make this clearer with an analogy.
Think of the people in a company office as ROMs. You want to share with your coworkers some documents (apps). Instead of telling them to come over to your desk to see those documents (sharing apps from one ROM to another), everyone goes to the conference room to look at the documents together (loading apps from a shared location). That's how app and data sharing is implemented.
To use app sharing, follow these steps in every ROM that you want to use app sharing:
1.Install the app you want to share
2.Open DualBootPatcher and go to "App Sharing" in the navigation drawer
3. Enable individual app sharing
4. Tap "Manage shared applications" and enable APK/data sharing for the app
Reboot
When you uninstall an app that's shared, it simply becomes unshared for the current ROM. That way, other ROMs are not affected. To continue the analogy above, if you quit your job, you won't shred the documents that everybody else was looking at.
If you unshare an app's data, it will go back to using the data it had before it was shared. In other words, you leave the conference room and go back to work on your own documents at your desk.
FAQ's
Switch the ROM if something doesn't work properly?
If you have TWRP, you can switch manually by tapping Install -> Images (bottom right) -> Go to /sdcard/MultiBoot/[Your ROM]/ -> flash boot.img.
I installed a new rom and want to switch to it?
Open app, select ROMs, then select the rom you want to switch to. When the switch is successful, reboot.
Wipe /cache, /data, /system, or dalvik-cache?
The easiest way is to do it from the app while booted in another ROM. Just go to "Roms" in the navigation drawer, tap the 3 dots options menu for the ROM you want to wipe, and tap "Wipe ROM".
NOTE: Don't use the recovery's built-in wiping abilities as that may delete non-primary ROMs!
Update the primary ROM?
Patch the zip for primary and flash it. The "primary" installation target is designed so that other ROMs won't be affected when you want to flash something for the primary ROM.
Update a non-primary ROM?
Patch and flash the zip exactly like how you did it the first time.
Flash a mod or custom kernel for the primary ROM?
Patch it for primary before flashing. If the zip does not wipe /cache, it is also safe to flash it directly.
Flash a mod or custom kernel for a non-primary ROM?
Just patch and flash it

How To Report Issues ?
Getlogs.zip: getlogs.zip
If a multi-booted ROM is unable to boot, logs will be needed for debugging the issue. Please reboot into recovery without shutting down the device (ie. no removing the battery u cant remove battery in moto e ) and flash the GetLogs zip. This must be done immediately following the boot failure because some logs will be lost after a reboot The zip will save many logs from /sdcard/MultiBoot and device information from /dev, /proc, and /sys to /sdcard/logs/[Date&Time].tar. Please attach this tar archive when reporting an issue.
Also, state whether the ROM reboots or hangs at the moto logo or the ROM's boot animation. If the ROM reboots, please state whether it reboots into recovery or not.
NOTE- now is supported CM13!!!!

I am a new here so dont know how to take log
I'm using the version created by chenxiaolong, download here:https://snapshots.noobdev.io The same functions as i see here..what's the difference, what are added features?
I mean, anyone with rooted+ custom recovery on any device can send logs to him and ask to get their device supported in just few days without someone porting the app, why do all this if no new/different features are added?
The best app to port to other devices with this functionality will MULTIROM officially for nexus devices, capable of running other non android OS like Firefox OS!
New World Order (NWO)
Any chances to do this with marshmallow ROMS.?
hey guys! now is official with support marshmallow.

Keep It Up!

I keep getting a notification saying my sdcard is corrupted after updating ramdisk and rebooting. Then I have to reinstall the primary ROM.
Edit: seems to only happen with Chrizsuma kernel.
App Data Manage Tool is a tool for Windows 10 Mobile devices to create backups from current state of apps and games, and restore them at a later time, or to another phone, or to your phone after a factory reset.
Although Microsoft introduced some APIs to backup apps into OneDrive, many apps still don't use it (Hill Climb Racing, WhatsApp, are you listening? )
This tool helps you to create local backup archives from any of your apps and games; then you can copy them to your PC and then to any phone so you can restore that archive.
Additionally, you can reset the state of apps, which is almost the same as reinstalling them, but is faster and also it can be done on some system apps (which you can't reinstall them)
Your phone must be interop unlocked. Here's a quick how to (for Lumias except x50 series):
Download Interop Tools by Gustave M. (ARM version) and its Dependencies from here and copy them to your phone.
Set your phone to Developer Mode (from Settings, Update & security, For Developers)
Tap on each of Dependencies from File Explorer, then tap on Interop Tools appx.
Open Interop Tools from app list, go to "Interop Unlock", tap on "Restore NDTKSvc" and then reboot your phone.
Open Interop Tools again and go to "Interop Unlock", now tap on "Interop/Cap unlock".
(For x50 series and non-Lumia phones, the steps might be different. search for it)
After you Interop Unlocked your phone, installing App Data Manage Tool is easy.
Just get it from the download link below, extract the ZIP and copy its contents to your phone, and tap on the appx from File Explorer to install. (you might need to install Dependencies first)
Download App Data Manage Tool Beta
See and contribute to the source code on GitHub
The interface is easy to use, look yourself

Can't backup old apps (xap) games like :ac pirates, bridge contructor etc
Thanks for this, unfortunately I think I can't test this on my Lumia 650, because of limitations ?, but if I find a way I'll let you know.
Greetz,
What about restoring backup after when new verion of an APP has been updated during the cold start up?
How about reinstall all old apps after hardreset?

Hmm, seems like can find 8.1 XAPs (Silverlight apps), but not 8 XAPs. I'll take a look to see if I can figure out a way to back up those apps too.

I tried but failed to register packages from installed files. For now you can install apps from Store after hard reset, and then restore their data using this app.
I mean, launch ms-windows-store://navigatetopage/?Id=Apps, where apps are those with backupped data.
thank for this i will to try it

its a 925, so no sd card and tried 'reset app' even on note+ but that also started crashing i.e not opening at all but when i restored the backup (did it earlier) note+ was working as expected.Guess something is wrong with 'reset app' mechanism
this based off appdata manager from wolf for wp8.1? or better support /capabilites. anyway to use the back ups from that app on this one?
congratulation !

Inbox by Gmail is not working on this ROM, which is a huge deal for me. And some other apps too. Otherwise looks like the best N for N5
still the best. the most best(and yes it is)
Does the "fastboot -w" also wipes the internal storagE?
Saw this in logcat:
09-23 10:37:48.663 E/DataBuffer(1432): Internal data leak within a DataBuffer object detected! Be sure to explicitly call release() on all DataBuffer extending objects when you are done with them. (internal object: [email protected])

Rom must be signed with "release-keys", but this rom was signed with dev-keys.
In next release, I'll sign with "release-keys".

Oh! A brand new Note 4 ROM!
I just successfully flashed in on my Note 4 (SM-N910F).
I successfully set it up.
I've got some bugs though
Google Assistant keeps on crashing, no matter what
Home button doesn't work when phone locked, but works when on.
You said that fingerprints won't work but they actually do work well on the lock screen :laugh:
Camera works perfectly too. No any camera errors at all though
Anyways, thanks for this cool ROM. Can use it as a daily driver, but all of a sudden for a reason my phone rebooted.. Hmmm..
Here's a screenshot of what the ROM looks like when installed:
Cheers!

Add to my onedrive not an option when i access the folder.......hence why i posted unable to download
Found alternate download here: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397955904
Tested this ROM, and heres my thoughts/criticisms:
* Inclusion of some G-Apps, while others which are more critical (Gmail most notably) are missing....for the huge download this oversight is really hard to fathom. 748Mb and no Gmail included? Also missing Android Webview.....kind of important
Instead all the stuff i normally weed out by never selecting it in Aroma G-Apps or usign the debloat magisk module if its built into a ROM is included...Device Health/Digital Wellbeing, and the google search app among them...if i wanted active spyware, id install it....instant downvote
For such a massive download, i cant see anything that would make me bother downloading further builds.
I do appreciate the dev building the ROM but, please consider leaving G-Apps up to the user, and thereby reduce the massive download size....
Update: curiously, some of my magisk modules which work on literally every other ROM ive ever used, fail on this one.....bizarre
About to test the dev's other ROM.....
Update: decided not to, apparently it has some of the same issues. Hope the dev can fix them and test before releasing next time....both ROMS cost me nearly 1.2Gb and both buggy....please test thoroughly before uploading.....
Back to RR for me again....
since dev has chose to move his downloads to AFH there is no bandwidth limit anymore and we all can download it with no problem.
But keep in mind for future use that:
In Google drive, as in microsoft ONEDRIVE, when you are having these kind of problems ('' Person sharing has exceeded their sharing limit'')
logging in YOUR drive (ONE or Google) before trying to download, gives you the option to import to YOUR cloud/drive and the limit is not there any more.
Maybe the dev sometimes doesnt have the ability to upload to AFH.

And as mentioned earlier, the option to import to my drive was not available, so thats not a blanket statement you can make, because its obviously not true for everyone Just quietly....
I've noticed the battery charging is not as quick as other roms, is it worth installing kernel auditor to boost charging speed?

Bluetooth crash notification on stuck on sreen
Hi
I keep receiving a notification signaling Bluetooth Crash.
Cannot remove it from sreen.
Any idea to solve it please ?
I have a Galaxy Note 4 (910/F) I flashed the trlte Rom of this Pixel Experience Pie
trlteduo folder is empty. Is it normal? Btw, can I flash trlte for my trlteduo if I'm planning to use duo sim anyway?
Wich KERVEL did you use to flash this ROM ?
Hi,
Can you please tell me wich KERNEL have you installed on your Note 4 for this ROM works nicely.
I flashed it but it keeps poping a bluetooth crash ans I cannot remove the popup when it appears.
I just supposed it's a KERNEL matter but if you know something about, can you please help me.
Thanks man
Sorry for my bad english (with google translate)
The best of the best, clean and fast. GOOOOD JOB
Disclaimer: all the steps I describe below work for me and can turn out differently for you, make sure you read everything correctly in the right context and especially read the post of other users after me, because I am a human being and not a BOT, a people can always make mistakes and will always be corrected in other posts
so read the other posts, read and be especially careful.
both XDA, the ROM maker, the ROM tweaker and or the users / hobbyists are not liable for anything, even when something is being told wrong or in the right context.
Because I always have little time to test and search for solutions, I always go for safety ... it will initially seem like a lot of work but believe me it saves a lot of trouble, this my plan of approach:
All of this below seems obvious but I will tell you anyway !!!
Do not install gapps, everything is already well built in here, only the gmail app is missing but you can install it yourself later. So again do not install any gapps because that will cause problems with this rom, unless the creator of this rom comes with an update later and or later give tips us with other tips.
my big thanks go to @Inkypen and @jhenrique09
Make sure your phone is charged to 70%, and while charging where can perform the actions below, this way you keep it charged and maybe even towards 100%
apps such as Whatsapp: go to settings, account, chats and press backup (online), then connect your phone and do your watsapp media etc. fully backed up.
Internet browser (s): saves all open tabs in cache.
Your smartphone and all apps: backup everything stored locally on your phone. the rest is still in the cloud or managed by social media companies.
Backup and format your SD card, then insert the rom and place it in your smartphone
Boot your divice to recovery (such as TWRP) and wipe Advanced Wipe, Select On (enable tick) for Dalvik / Art Cache, System, Data, Cache, except your SD card (which contains the rom) and then also wipe format data. both steps you do (proof of speech) 100 times, I do this 2 times and after each time a restart to the TWRP then install the rom, wait quietly until it is finished, and do a Wipe Cache / Dalvik reboot.
what strikes me is the first time it is wise not to quickly configure your phone, give m ample time and do not follow the steps in quick succession.
after setting up account, do not install anything from apps yet, wait very briefly 5min. ore more and do a restart, at startup wait 1min or more, then tweak your settings as you want and this without installing any apps, do a reboot, wait at startup again 1min. or more, first go to google playstore and go to your playstore library and first update the already installed apps through the rom (gmail app is not included which you can install later)
restart and wait 1min or more, go to google playstore and type in: "google LLC" this will get all the original google apps first at the top of each other and do some necessary installation (such as google gmail, authentication and keep, etc) ...........do this also with "Microsft corpiration) etc.
I always take a quiet moment to install and set up, this takes me over 2 hours including the placement of media and other files, each person is different in use and the amount of media .... so can be take shorter or longer time.
PLEASE NOTE:
with other ROMs it is important that you install the Google Gapps immediately after the ROM as follows:
the aforementioned steps and step of:
1: rom install wait until it is ready and do not reboot and first install the Gapps and wait until it is ready and not yet reboot, first:
2: Wipe Cache / Dalvik
3: only now can you reboot.
4: do everything calmly and not too quickly set up and install as mentioned above.
PS: things like fingerprint sometimes don't seem to work, but after installing it it turned out that it still work, I have also experienced that I had to reinstall a ROM without changing anything and yet everything worked flawlessly afterwards.
GOOD LUCK and PEACE

does it support dual sim?
I had to cancel assert line from META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script because I was not allowed to install trlte file on N910F. Then I tried to install and everything worked but it iddn't recognize my SIM card! I guess my EFS folder was deleted. What do you recommend to do? Any suggestion?
Edit: I updated TWRP and after flashing the rom I flashed the Bootloader, then it worked fine?
This ROM really deserves more praise than it gets.
Installed it on my Canadian Note 4 (SM-N910W8) after having issues with a couple of other ROMs (won't mention names) which had issues with the data connection resetting itself constantly. Needless to say this ROM worked just fine even though initially it was reporting the signal as "H" or "H+" but eventually settled down with LTE.
I for one appreciate having the ROM already include GApps with niceties such as the Gboard already built in as well as other Google apps. As previously mentioned there isn't much in the form of tweaking options (besides being able to switch to a darker theme) such as button programming but sideloading a button mapper application took care of that. Thanks you to the developer(s) for such a wonderful ROM!
Very fast custom rom of 9 os based,and I mean fast as double all of the others,thanks.,only one small problem,3.30 hours and minutes still charging,any solution?Thank you again.
