[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Kurvenal:
I am currently using my Hermes with an external Bluetooth GPS receiver that has 30 hours battery life. I need this because I do not use the GPS in my car but out mountainbiking or hiking. I love the idea of using the larger Athena screen with digital mapping, but I am worried about battery life if the GPS is built-in since the calculations will probably drain the battery. Has anyone tested the GPS on battery power? How long does it last? Has anyone found good spare batteries?

I have also noted with interest the problems with GPS reception. Has anyone tested this in remote locations (where reception should often be good) or under cloud cover?

I will post a separate thread on this, but I am also concerned about using the hard drive while out mountain biking. Is that just a non-starter given all of the vibration and indirect impact?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
Can't be sure..I wouldn't want to test it....but having said that, my cousin chased someone who stole his Ameo and they deliberately dropped it onto the concrete pavement to avoid a much deserved beating. lol.

It withstood the fall barring a few scratches and still works fine...so who knows for sure. If your truly worried about the Microdrive, why not transfer the GPS software to the Mini SD card?

I know I did, in case I drive over bumpy terrain and suffer the scenario you outlined above. No issues so far for me. ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Kurvenal:
Ameo for outdoor digital mapping

I have the option to test the Ameo (T-Mobile's name for the Athena) for 30 days so will take it out on some rides to test. I am wondering if it makes more sense to continue to use my external Bluetooth GPS receiver since I will want to put my Ameo in sleep mode when I am riding (as opposed to looking at a map) to conserve battery power and protect the hard drive, which I presume will cause the in-built GPS to lose its signal. If that is the case, then every time I stop to look at my map I will have to switch on the unit for hunt for a signal again, whereas if I have the external GPS on all the time (no problem given its long battery life) the Ameo will pick up the coordinates immediately when I switch it on and display my position on the map. I suspect the GPS in the Ameo is better placed for use in a car with constant power supply. It definitely might be useful, however, to have a backup on the SD card. I am not sure that will work for my Memory Map Pocket Navigator though since I need to send a license to my handheld every time I install. How did you manage to do it?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Pyrofer:
Does anybody know about WAAS/EGNOS support on the Ameo?

I installed GPSInformation and it has a tickbox to enable them, and it seems to say "ok" when you tick it. However, if you quit the app, when you re-run the box is unticked again.

Does this mean you have to enable WAAS everytime you use the GPS receiver?

Does software like Virtual earth, google maps and TomTom etc enable WAAS by default?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] fards:
had my one day old ameo out mtbing today.

no problems except the internal gps is appalling, it needs direct view of sky, no tree cover at all, with white part facing upwards to get any kind of signal.

maybe I'm doing something wrong...

on my mdapro with bluetooth GPS i would leave memory map running in my gillet pocket with the external in my backpack with no worries.

not tried external with this one yet

I think memory map installs the licence to main memory (maybe a reg key)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] fards:
As an update to that, after setting both hardware and software ports to none, and turning off the automatic control of gps in the control panel, it's working really well inside the house, and in my pocket.

Battery had dropped 4% after 1hr ride to work, this morning, running mem map & media player. So not bad at all, there were some odd spikes on the mm track record, where I'm presuming the signal got a bit hazy, but other than that good.

Was accurate enough to record when I'd changed lanes on dual carriageway.

Vibration didn't seem to cause any issues, and this was on my recumbent trike, which is prone to loosening fillings..
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] inframan:
Do you have a better battery indicator program. The standard one only seems to measure in 10% intervals?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] anilk:
Turn GPS Off?

Out of interest, is the GPS chip always running? If so, is there a way to turn it off? I would hope it only turns on when needed, but just trying to increase battery life...

-Krip
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Pyrofer:
The GPS chip only comes on when you use it. You can see its on because there is an extra flash on the left hand led. You get a GSM flash, then a GPS flash.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] dpbakker:
Thanks for the tip! Never noticed that before. But your correct, the GSM led blinks twice as fast after starting TomTom.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Pyrofer:
It also flashes a different colour, I see a green GSM flash, then orange GPS flash. I dont know if it changes again when you have GPS lock, because im inside :p

work with encryption?

do you think it will allow encryption? I haven't had much luck yet with any rom except stock for root, twrc, and then encryption. my work email requires it or I'd skip it entirely...

thx
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sefrcoko:
I haven't tried but it's possible. Not sure why encryption doesn't work on other roms, but the "regular" version of this one is basically stock with root, TWRP, busybox, etc. I've disabled securestorage and added r/w permissions for SD card too, but if that's a problem you can reverse those two changes by following the steps in OP2 in my dev thread.

resolving LTE display issue

Hi,

I believe I have replaced the Systemui.apk correctly with the correct permissions using Root Explorer but still see the 4G rather than the LTE in the bar.

Any ideas?

What version of the rom are you flashing? Debloated v1.1 or 2.1? The files I linked were from the AOA1 base so not clear if they will work on BOC4.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbogod:
1.1 and A0A1 base files

A01A Base and debloated V1.1.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond - not really a big deal - just more a point of trying to figure it out for myself at this point. I will likely flash to 5.01 debloated now anyway - I have KT kernel running with the 1.1. Does the 5.01 have it's own kernel? (sorry if this is a naive question).

Thanks again.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sefrcoko:
Happy to help :). v2.1 (i.e. Lollipop) has the stock kernel. If you have already updated to BOC4 through Odin at least once before then the kernel will work for you when you flash v2.1. If not, you'll need to flash a compatible custom kernel (e.g. AEL, KT, etc) to avoid boot loops after installing v2.1. See OP in my dev thread for full instructions.

Not sure about the LTE icon. Maybe try copying the CSC folder from another working rom to v1.1 and try flashing that? If you're on kitkat and running xposed there is also a module you can download called LTE Switcher or something like that. I've used it before and it worked for me.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbogod:
Thanks - I will install a custom kernel post-2.1 flash to get the BOC4 update. Appreciate you taking the time. I'll keep working away at the LTE issue. Let you know if I figure it out.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sefrcoko:
Yes just confirming that you should be able to get the LTE icon by copying the CSC folder from stock or from the Regular version to your phone (after installing the Debloated version of course).:good:

Debloated 2.2 released!

Notes:

Used a new debloat process and also fixed FC when using the front-facing camera.

If you get any FCs after initial setup (such as Google Maps or Samsung Link Platform), just make sure to update the problematic app from the Play Store or Samsung's Galaxy Apps store and then you should be good to go!

Samsung Provider Codes not working

Hi there, Great Rom!

One thing that isn't working is the service provider code of *#2263# isn't working (MMI error).

Thanks again!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sefrcoko:
Thanks!

Are you using the Regular or Debloated version of the Rom?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whoatemyling:
I've tried both versions and neither version can access the RF Band Selector menu. It comes up with a MMI error. I've gone through and tried manually selecting a provider and that didn't work neither. IMEI is intact, and no issues with making receiving calls or texts. Flashed back to stock via Odin and no issues with getting to that menu.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sefrcoko:
Hmm that's strange...I could understand an issue with the Debloated version since things were removed, but the Regular version is basically just a rooted and deodexed version of stock. You have a N910W8, and not using any other mods or kernels, correct? Not sure why it would work on stock BOC4 but not the Regular Rom since they are essentially the same...
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whoatemyling:
Yes I had the same thought, so I went from the debloat to the regular. I also ensured that I wiped 3x in TWRP in all required sections (all except internal storage and SD Card), before doing the flash to debloat or regular. Also made sure I waited 5 minutes post boot and then reboot before going through the setup wizard.

In any case, not a deal breaker for some, but may be fore those that are looking to enable LTE on N910W8 (Wind purchased phones).

I am running a N910W8, with no other mods or kernels. I was running straight stock w/root, before flashing the ROM's. Ensured that I was running BOC4 before flash. Not sure why, unless the base ROM you're using in the Deodex and Debloat doesn't have that menu's within it's native firmware, but I was under the impression that the firmware for canadian models were all identical with their own carrier codes attached to the firmware. (CSC Code chage *#272*IMEI#).
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sefrcoko:
Thanks for the info. Strange indeed! Yes the Canadian roms should all basically be the same as you mentioned. This one is based directly off the stock Bell BOC4 firmware from sammobile so not clear why it would on stock but not this version. I've read something about Wind phones being a little different from the other Canadian variants in some way (I forget the specifics now), but that was a while back and I'm not sure if it's actually true or even related to this lol. Either way I will take a look over the weekend and post if I find anything of interest.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emilgue:
does anyone experience bootloops flasing 2.2 to 2.3? both are debloated versions. 2.3 doesn't even want to load Samsung logo, it kept rebooting after the note 4 logo. I can still go to recovery and download mode just fine.

Reflashed back to 2.2 and everything works again.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sefrcoko:
It's a new firmware base in v2.3, so the new BOE1 kernel included with this rom won't boot if you're coming from another base like BOC4. You'll need to either update to official BOE1 through Odin and then wipe in recovery and flash v2.3, or you can just wipe in recovery and flash v2.3 followed by a custom kernel.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emilgue:
Ah, thank you for the explanation :)

What is the best way to preserve the settings and apps when doing the upgrade that needs wiping? I tried titanium backup before, but a lot still needed to be restored manually.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sefrcoko:
Play Store usually automatically downloads all of my previously installed apps, and then I restore my Nova Launcher backup to get all my launcher screens back. After that I usually just configure the rest manually to be honest. Titanium Backup is a little unreliable on Lollipop; sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Even when it works, restoring data from a previous base (e.g. BOC4) will likely lead to errors on a newer base like BOE1. There are some other apps out there that might also be useful to backup and restore, especially for things like contacts and sms (personally I just sync that stuff through google and samsung). As always, make a fresh TWRP backup before you flash too.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sefrcoko:
1. The official Samsung firmware can be downloaded through sammobile.com and flashed through Odin, but you can't really modify the stock firmware in it's original form. For that you would need to read up and use a tool like ArchiKitchen to build the firmware into a flashable zip or just download a ready-made rom such as my Regular/Debloated versions. Either way, you'll be needing to install TWRP and root which will void warranty.

2. If you're flashing custom roms you'll trip the Knox counter.

3. No need to disable knox on your exising setup to flash root, twrp, or a custom rom. Many of the custom roms available for download come with Knox already disabled, others not. If you're building a custom rom, you can always remove knox from your new rom before you flash it.

4. If you're flashing through Odin, only use official firmware for your specific device from sammobile. Don't flash other firmware for other variants or models. If you're talking about flashing a custom rom through twrp recovery though, then yes you can sometimes flash different firmwares (e.g. COD6 for t-mobile) but will need to flash a custom kernel and probably a data fix too to get full functitonality. Read up in specific threads, make a backup, and be sure of everything before you flash anything. If you're customizing roms then you'll need root and will no longer have the ability to update thorugh OTA. Our N910W8s are not region locked, but if you're with Rogers it is likely SIM-locked to your carrier. You would need to purchase a sim-unlock code from a site like cellunlocker.net if you wanted to use a non-Rogers sim card.

5. Not sure, you'll have to do some searching to learn more on this one.

6. You won't be modifying the offficial Odin image. You would first need to build it into a .zip image using something like ArchiKitchen which you would then be able to modify.

7. Not sure why you want CSC for Europe on a Canadian phone. See answer #4 for difference between region-locked and sim-locked. Again, flashing custom roms will mean tripping Knox and no more OTA updates while rooted. If you still want the latest updates, you can always just download them from sammobile.com and flash through Odin.

8. I've seen this mentioned before but can't remember the answer right now. You'll need to search the forums a little bit, I think it required modifying the settings.db file using SQLite from the Play Store but I'm not 100% sure.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sefrcoko:
Hi, the installation instructions in my dev thread generally assume a basic knowledge of rooting and installing custom roms. This thread is actually the Q&A section for my roms, and so it's probably not the ideal place to start learning about the basics of setting up custom firmware. There are many threads on xda and elsewhere to help with that. Still, here are some answers to help guide you in the right direction buddy :).

If you want to run the latest version of my rom (i.e. Regular or Debloated v2.3), then yes you should already be running BOE1 firmware on your N910W8. You should also make sure your phone is rooted and that you have TWRP recovery installed. For Step 6, "install the rom" means that you boot into TWRP and press "Install", then choose the .zip file for your rom, then swipe to install it. Just follow all the steps in the OP. Note that you never use Odin to flash custom roms. Roms are always flashed through recovery, so Odin is usually only used to install root, TWRP, and official firmware from sammobile.com.

Thanks for sharing the info on enabling hidden languages and adding mobile data toggle settings. I'm not able to test right now but feel free to share once you have tried it. Cheers [emoji106]

Regular/Debloated 2.4

Notes:

Based on new BOF2 firmware released for the N910W8 (Puerto Rico). Not clear what changes are in this build compared to BOE1 firmware, but hey it's here if anyone is curious :). I probably won't bother with Odin... just built the .zip and flashed along with a custom kernel (e.g. AEL, Bioshock) to test it out for a while.

ROM is based for Puerto Rico, so it's not in English by default. During initial setup you can change the language to English. You'll also want to change the language to English in the keyboard settings menu, as well as in the Handwriting Recognition settings (under Settings/Language and Input).

Additional carrier bloatware in this firmware release (at least compared to what we are used to having with Bell, Telus, etc.). "Regular" version is always kept as close to stock as possible, so Regular v2.4 includes "Claro" boot animation, shutdown animation, .ogg sound files, wallpapers, and apks. All of these were removed in Debloated v2.4 though (except for one pesky apk I couldn't remove...just disable/freeze claro.apk after rom installation and first boot).
