So, there are some kitkat versions, which escaped us completely.

You can find them all here.

So far I have tried the

AOSP 4.4.2 v1.1, Modified: 15.09.2014, thus newer than the one that we had before.

Exclusive Storm Beta 4.4.3

OctaROM 1.3

OctaROM 1.8

I did not tried any with vibe ui , because I'm not a fan.

I understand that all kitkat have problems with the compass, because it was not working on any rom. Something is wrong with the drivers and the kernel.

You will also find custom recovey TWRP 2.6.3.0, which I tried and kept it. It runs fine.

Here, with a lot of caution, you can manage yours phone storage. Beware, there is a great risk for bricking your phone. The procedure is as follows. After we install the kitkat rom we want, we get backup via recovery. Then install through recovery the zip you want, and then restore the rom. I repeat, very dangerous. I did it successfully, but I had a lot of time time and wanted to experiment. NOT FOR EVERYONE !!!!!!!!!

For the end, the better for me. Two patches that through recovery, installs dolby and enhance the volume. I imagine that is what we do with the engineering mode, but automated. This is not a placebo effect. I had done a lot of testing through engineering, but with these patches, sound is brilliant. The guy says it's only for kitkat, I do not know if it works in jelly.

My Results and personal thoughts.

The best of all of them I tried and finally kept is octarom 1.3, because it is the only kitkat allowed titanium backup to work. Also in my opinion, better stay with jelly bean, that everything runs smoothly.

WARNING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whatever you do, do it at your own risk. I do not know if I will have time to deal to fix issues that may occur.

Need help

Hello, I have tried to flash CM11 but the TWRP recovery don't work and I don't have any ROM file on the phone and also the SD slot is't work, so I now hav a bootloop, Can anyone post link to the Latest stock ROM to flash via Flashtool? Thank you!
[Android General] a.marduk:
try here or here . The latest that i know is AMOI n828 v5.6.

If you want , you also can flash stock firmware from Walton primo H2 , DNS s4505/S4505M , IMO S89 Miracle , wolfgang AT-AS45qHd or MBS Bean 454 . It's basically the same phone (rebranded AMOI N828). DNS s4505m and wolfgang use mt6589t though.

Hi all,

I apologize if this is not the correct forum for this. Anyway, I have an Amoi N828 clone (wolfgang at-as45qhd) and I broke the digitizer glass. I ordered a new one but now I'm not sure how to disassemble the screen. I removed the mainboard and everything but can't figure out how to remove the LCD to get to the digitizer...

Has anyone in here done this already and could give me a hint how to actually replace the glass?

Thank you in advance.

l33chy
[Android General] l33chy:
Never mind, I figured it out. the digitizer is just glued on the frame. So using a flat screwdriver and lots of patience you can get the digitizer off (obviously after the mainboard is disconnected and removed).

Cheers,

to change preferred network

hi, all,

my friend gifted me this device recently.

i rooted it by farmaroot and recovered imei very easily.

but i can't use that device as a phone 'coz there are emergency calls only.

i don't know how to change preferred network, by default is China Unicom (WCDMA), or, maybe i'm wrong.

any idea?

thanks!
[Android General] not.guilty:
For me this was the best way to do it: root your phone, get mobileuncle tools, get twrp recovery.img from here: yadi.sk/d/cgD45Afn4Flx9 (or look here: 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=456263 for more)

Put recovery.img and the rom (I'd recommend the "official" rom from here: needrom.com) file into the root folder of the sd-card. Start mobileuncle, choose "recovery update" - your recovery.img should be listed first, tap on it and off you go.

Caution: ymmv ;)
[Android General] rompe2:
Thanks for your help!

Now with the right tools my phone is up and running again:good:

But now i have a new question:

I want to put in swedish language, is it possible?

I have seen there is some language files but i don't know wich one to choose and how to do it!

BR //Rompe
[Android General] not.guilty:
Well, there you might be out of luck. There is a multi language ROM at needrom.com, but I wouldn't recommend it. Especially if you don't have a Bluetooth keyboard - it lacks the standard keyboard and my Chinese is not too good :)

You could install "more locale 2" - after rooting - but it only works for apps installed afterwards, not the system itself. Better than nothing, though.
[Android General] palaver:
Unfortunately I couldn't find information about the cyanogenmod in the two topics about the n828. I tried to read it with the google/bing translator.

But thanks for the advice! :good: I will keep looking there.

Ecco due foto

Inviato dal mio AMOI N828 con Tapatalk 2
[Android General] IcedFlame:
Here's what I did to make my Amoi usable. I also included all the necessary files you will need if you want to do the same :)

The following files are included in this package: DOWNLOAD HERE! (10.45 MB)

- 6589 Drivers

- recovery.img

- MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt

- SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1308.0.125

1. Installing driver for your phone

Install 6589 Drivers (turn off your phone, remove the battery, then plug USB cable, and your computer should recognize the device). Check device manager if there is MTK 65xx preloader (or something like that :)), and then you can unplug your phone.

Now onto the next step.

2. Installing CWM Recovery 6.0.2.8.

- Turn off your phone and remove the battery

- Start SPflashTool -> use provided 6589 scatter file and make sure you only check RECOVERY and nothing else

- Press F9 (or click the Download button) and plug in USB cable (I did this step without a battery). You should get "Download OK". Now restart the phone.

3. Installing custom ROM

- Download the rom from HERE (289.33 MB)

- Rename zip file to update.zip (I don't think this is necessary, but I always do this :)) and copy zip file to your SD Card.

- Hold Vol+ button and power up the phone to get to Recovery mode

- In CWM Recovery navigate to 'install zip from sdcard', (you should also do 'wipe data/factory reset' and 'wipe cache partition')

- You're done! :)

This rom is multilingual and it contains all the major languages, but keyboard is 'baidu input' by default. It has a button to switch to english input, which should be fine to download your favorite keyboard from Play Store (TouchPal Keyboard in my case). Then you can switch to another keyboard and make it default.

ROM is also pre-rooted with some Chinese version of Super User (or something like that). It also contains some other Chinese apps which you can delete with Titanium Backup or disable in Apps menu.

In case you accidentally delete Chinese superuser, like I did :silly:, proceed to step 4

4. Rooting your phone

- Download THIS file and copy it to your SDCard (1 MB)

- Go to recovery mode and choose 'install zip from sdcard'

- navigate to SuperSU_1.25_Pro.zip and press power button

- Enjoy! :)

In case I forgot something, or if you have any questions or complaints about my English - feel free to reply :)

[Android General] raulillo82:
Works like a charm also for me...

The only thing, is that I can't get gps working at all. Neither with this new rom, nor with the old one (deathking with Android 4.2.1, the one the mobile came with).

Any suggestion of what to do? I've tried gps fix and a lot of apps like this and no way... I really don't think it's a hardware issue...
[Android General] not.guilty:
Try Mobileuncle Tools -> Engineer Mode -> Engineer Mode (MTK) -> Location -> Location Based Service

under AGPS: Check AGPS enable

under EPO: Enable EPO & Auto Download

Go Back to YGPS, check the information and wait for a fix...

Multilingual firmware 4.2.2 based on Samsung S4 from 16.05.2013: N828_S4_ROM_by_jack441

Could anyone test and confirm.

Could someone post screenshots of this firmware to see the look?

Can you tell me, please, do you get 3G signal on T-mobile anywhere in New York, or only 2G (EDGE)? In general what speed are you getting with this phone?
[Android General] raulillo82:
The link in this page is the same than the one is this page (i compared both binaries and they're the same), and that one didn't fix the problem with the gps.

It's true, that using the uncle mobile tools gps more or less works again, but quite worse than my galaxy s2, and you have to be outside (open sky). They'll publish a good fix for the gps sooner or later, let's just wait :(

Sport tracking apps

Hello

Has anybody used this device with apps like Endomondo, RunKeeper, Runtastic etc?

It is weird that although the GPS signal is fine, all these apps track activities like crazy. A route of 500m appears like 10Km.

I have used such applications with other phones with no problem at all.

I am using the rom that came with the phone, from minideal.net.

Any ideas?

Yes, it´s working very well.

To fix GPS, you just need to download FasterGPS in the play store, and keep the R.E. chinese app (it´s the root, I was disabling this with system turner, big mistake), set your region in app and GPS will work.

Here, the Amoi N828 did 13594 points in Antutu with S4 rom.

I haven't got the R.E. app (I don't know, maybe I deleted it). Can I download it somewhere?

NO 3g in NYC

Nope, I didn't expected it to work on T-mo considered the frequencies, but I would love to have ATT card to test it... I also have ZOPO ZP980 which cannot even connect to T-Mobile at all, but I'll use it in Europe anyway so it's ok. That Zopo also shows ATT 3G in network settings but with no SIM, can't test it. However, AMOI N828 didn't work 3G for me on my T-Mobile card.

ROM is great, the major problem I'm having is network dropping constantly and signal is one or two bars, here in the US. I'm not talking about internet connection, I can't make phone calls more then one minute and it will drop. When I go back on original amoi rom, it works, full bar all the time.

lost root after updating rom

Hello

I recently installed the rom N828_S4_ROM_by_jack441 and now it seems that the phone is not rooted.

I follow the procedure to root it and it seems to work at first and then it get unrooted again.

What could be the reason?
[Android General] dusuke:
Hi galanta, this ROM comes already rooted, i'm using it and its very nice and neat. But i had problems at first when I tried to delete the chinese apps... if you tried as well, maybe thats the reason why you lost the root. I recomend you left them all or disable them instead of delete.

To root again your device, open up the N828_S4_ROM_by_jack441.ZIP and look for the /system/app and copy all the apps there to the folder system/app of your device (use the software Android Commander to do it, its really easy just drag and drop), then reboot your device.

I recomend you install the apps rom manager, and Mobileuncle (very important for rooted MTK devices, it checks if you're device is rooted and give you a lot of usefull tools), i couldn't use SP Flash Tool in my device, probably because i'm using Windows 8 and it just never works! So I gave up and found here this great app, saved my life. Also i can't reboot my device in recovery mode holding up the power and volume up keys, so everytime I want to go to recovery mode i use mobileuncle app. :)

sorry about my english... im brazilian! hope i could help you all :) because you all helped me first.

Hi,

I have the same problem - vribrating when connecting call. I do not have a specific solution.

Other question to you : is this jack44 fixing the GPS fix problem ?

EDIT :

Solution GPS : i have fixed the GPS (in custom ROM on page3 (member Icedflame) with Mobileuncle

I repeat how to : Try Mobileuncle Tools -> Engineer Mode -> Engineer Mode (MTK) -> Location -> Location Based Service

under AGPS: Check AGPS enable + under EPO: Enable EPO & Auto Download

Go Back to YGPS, check the information and wait for a fix..

Question remains : has the other ROM jack44 the GPS problem fixed in the ROM itself ? Or do you need the MobileUncle - app also ?

Levelers ok

Root ok ( R-root chinese...perhaps i can change it into another root, i will check )

QUESTION about sensors : Can anyone check wether the AMOI N828 has :

1. Temperature sensore

2. Gyroscope sensor

3. Pressure sensore

In some cases sellers advertise that the Amoi has these sensors. But in a review on notebookcheck the phone has none of them i mentioned.

Is that correct ???

Can anyone check please.

ok but i don't think the AMOI N828 has : temperature, pressure nor gyroscope in it. I have read it on a review despite what sellers like Aliexpress may say. I don't think the Amoi has these 3 sensors.

You can test it with Android Sensor Box.
