Hi hemantbeast, I am planning to flash this ROM on my brother's Redmi Note 4G & I promise to review a week later. Since my brother needs a daily driver and won't be able to do much troubleshooting, do you recommend it as a daily driver? I am considering this ROM, RR, Meeko & CM, but only Meeko is being updated constantly. Will you be updating this fairly regularly?
[Redmi Note Android Development] hemantbeast:
This is going to be official, if anyone gives proper review about this rom.
[Redmi Note Android Development] Kartike:
First of all thank you for the rom.

As this device is not much supported so if i hardbrick it then would we be able to recover (mi flasher?).....if you could just confirm all this i would gladly help to review this rom for you . And btw dior is that single sim 4g variant...right? And also as oms is in the title so are the rootless commits included?

Works well

I've been using this rom for some weeks now, imo it's almost perfect so I can recommend it without doubt.

One thing I discovered: it continously drops wifi and cellular data connection which is annoying. I was searching for a solution and found a video on YT. I had to disable the wifi and bluetooth scanning (Settings -> Location -> top right corner 'scanning'). Seemingly it works well now.

I changed rom from MIUI 8 which is still based on KitKat. TBH I love MIUI, but KitKat is outdated now and I don't want to buy a new phone at least until 2018.

Thank you very much for your hard work. :good: :good:

Ok, I just ordered a 32GB USB Flash Drive.

Some people report that the Athena recognizes some flash drives so I was thinking...why not remove the MD and take apart the 32GB flash drive and put it inside the Athena. Then solder the USB pins together internally so the USB drive is always connected internally to the device?

I haven't really put serious thought into this but wanted to run it past everyone and those hardware experts to see what every ways.

I have yet to look up the MD power requirements and compare those to the USB power requirements. Either way, if it's recognized it could mean a real upgrade to the device and we could always write a simple program to enable/disable the USB drive if power consumption is too great.

Your thoughts people on this?

EDIT

After further thinking I see four obvious obstacles:

- Stripping down the 32GB USB drive so it fits in the device in place of the MD. I'm hoping this isn't that big of an issue but then again I have no idea what i'm talking about. LOL

- 1 have to make sure the Athena recognizes the 32GB USB drive.

- Power Consumption as mentioned above, which might be overcome by utilizing a utility of some sort.

- Since the Athena requires the USB Host cable/adapter to make things like this work, there might need to be some type of mod internally to make this happen. I talking to someone with more knowledge of USB pin outs might help in this area.

-- EDIT: Olipro mentioned that this is most likely a non-issue. That the USB adapter just makes the USB connection a large one so the internal wiring I'm thinking about shouldn't be a problem. This is great news. One obstacle out of the way. Don't you love progress!

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] boinger66:
possible incompatibilities of it not detecting the microdrive but should be able to be fixed by software

possibly will need to integrate usb host controller chip and wires inside as well

make sure not to screw up the charger either =p

but other than that it sounds good
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] Deleted member 384713:
Hi, for information: Athena Servicemanual says you need 3 things to replace if you disassemble your device (On-Off Key, CommManager Key and some rubbers).

So if you really get the USB-Flash running then you'll get problems putting everything together again.

I think you'll get errors because the G-Sensor doesn't detect any Microdrive. (maybe freeze or reset or some other issues?). Maybe you have to shorten the G-Sensor somehow. This will need people who own the original plan of the device and also know how to get information out of it.

But great idea!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] LTxda:
Ok, just found out that the host adapter just changes the plug to a larger USB plug. So the wiring should be a piece of cake. Let's keep this going...before you know it the team won't have only brought you a great ROM but also provide a way to have a 32GB Athena and storage you no longer have to worry about and with no moving parts!!!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] LTxda:
Thanks for your feedback. I also think this may work and if not with the drive I've ordered with some other USB. I've seen USB devices as small is a dime so this should work. I'll be happy to purchase a bunch of USB drives to see which work. I probably would like anyone with an Athena and a USB drive to test what they have and post the results.

For the record I ordered a Corsair Survivor 32GB USB Flash Drive model CMFUSBSRVR-32GB.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] yetdy:
I think there was a group of people(I couldn't remember who exactly) who already dismantled their athena when it came out to see which micro drives in the market is compatible with the one installed in the athena. I suggest we find the post first before and read through their findings. There might be something there that may help with this project.

If I remember it correctly, there was even a host of pictures and instructions in dismantling the Athena.

I just couldn't remember other details because I was just browsing around and never thought of owning an athena.

What about a 72GB solid state drive?

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] LTxda:
Let`s keep this a short term, realistic and affordable goal. ;-p

USB storage is cheap, easily modified, compatible as it`s already recognized by the device both by the software and USB host capabilities of the device board, etc. Also, those drives aren`t yet available and I doubt people will want to spend over $800usd on them for Athena. No?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] HeartOfDarkness:
Well, IMHO there's two alternatives for such a modification:

1 - either use the ATA connection of the micro-drive with the 32 GB pendrive. Adapters exist, wiring should be tricky due to the size requirements (everything has to fit into the space usually used by the micro-drive);

2 - connect permanently the 32 GB USB pen-drive to the USB port. Removal of the micro-drive is in that case optional, maybe in order to make room.

The problem with the second option is that I am pretty sure this will screw-up USB slave connections, and more specifically ActiveSync. Altough, true, one can Sync through Bluetooth.

Two problems with the first alternative:

- G-Sensor, without a md, will no work anymore. BUT it can be disabled in a software manner, so that's no big issue aside from the fact that we won't be able to "tilt'n scroll";

- finding a compatible USB / ATA adapter (those are known to be... "capricious").

I find the first alternative much sexier, personnally... And it DOES get me thinking. :-)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] Madhadder:
Why not just use one of theose new 16 or 32GB MicroSD/Transflash, or whatever the hell there called cards, just released at CES.. It would save ya

lots of work, and you wouldn't have to crack the Advantage open.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] HeartOfDarkness:
Yep, that's also being discussed on the forum. :-)

But I do agree that having solid-state 32 GB instead of mechanical 8 GB in my Athena would suit me just fine. :-)

Jointly with a 32 GB SDHC card, of course.

:-D lol
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] LTxda:
I currently have the 8GB SDHC....of course I'm going to buy the 16 and then the 32 as soon as they come out and I can get my hands on it...but my goal here is to replace the MD. After thinking it through even further, we could even setup an internal type of mechanism so as USB drives become larger and cheaper, we could just pop out the old and pop in the new thus continuing to increase the internal storage of our devices. :)

Maybe I'm just dreaming but replacing the MD seems to be a goal that we can achieve quickly and cost effectively. We've had the discussion of getting larger MD's...but always ran into obstacles we probably couldn't overcome. They are releasing large SSD's but we may have to mod the internal connection, etc. With the USB idea, the connection exists, compatibility is there, and it's very feasible. I'm just excited. LOL
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] LTxda:
I'm thinking more simplistic. Take out the MD and dock it connect to. This frees up some space. Strip down USB drive as much as possible and hope that it fits some way into the device. If it fits, we can mount it in there in a number of ways. Solder 4 wires from USB drive to USB host interface on the board. Write some software to control (activate/deactivate aka mount/dismount) the USB drive and see how it goes.

Not sure what you mean exactly but...I want the USB drive to be internal. Of course I could get some velcro and stick a 32GB USB drive to the back of my Athena, etc...but that would just be ugly. :p

You also need the USB host cable to do this unless you want to solder wires and run them from the outside of the device to the inside USB host pins. Let me know if I got the wrong picture here. :D

You bring up a very good point. I'm going to have to take my 4-in-1 cable and try to run a small USB drive while trying to ActiveSync. I wonder if that will still work. If it fails, the mod I'm proposing may cause a problem with ActiveSync connections. Anyone else have comments and/or ideas on this?

I'm hoping we can do it without any adapters. Just straight soldering of the 4 USB wires needed to communicate. Should suffice. I found that I don't really use nor need the G-Sensor on the MD. For sure can be disabled in the ROM. The Athena Project team would just have to make a Special Edition ROM for those that do the mod. :)

ia ctually dont think you will run into active sync problems...

reason being i remember a special cable that came with my friends hermes that split the usb port into two

one for charging and one for syncing...

so i think if we disable the flash drive when syncing it should be fine
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] Oberth:
Second Idea :)

Hi OL2,

Sorry to hear that did not work guess it needs a file system present. I was having a look around during the day and another thing that cropped up is Pocket Mechanic http://www.wizcode.com/products/view/pocket_mechanic_professional which has a low level format among it's other goodies might be worth installing that as the 30day trial is fully functional and see if it can see the drive and format it. Even if it cannot format it it might at least show if the drive is being detected in one of its other sections by the unit which would be a start. Another similar option is SKTools http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?sktools/m_feat.html but I'm not sure if the trial would give you enough functionality.

Boinger66 may be right on the driver front but from reading around when the 7510 was being released I'm sure someone mentioned that the 16GB was stamped on rather than connected the IDE ZIF interface the Microdrive and flash use, maybe one of the AP4 Rom cooks can shed light on that side of things.

Finger crossed again :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] xfiver:
At ol2 and oberth,

ol2 - I am really rooting for you to get this to work.

May I just ask these questions ..

1) If you put the MD back does the x7500 see it. Just wondering if your interface is damaged?

2) If the SSD's are marketed as drop in replacement, why do the drivers need to be different? is it a 8GB - 16GB issue.. I am puzzled ? Surely at the interface level the x7500 does not 'know' the difference between a MD or a SSD - or is this the reason?

3) Can you confirm that the MD is a Hitachi - as per the japanese pictures? Could you please provide the model id so can surf to see if it is a special?

4) I read somehere that the SSD's come in 3 electrical interfaces, PATA, CE-ATA, and an MMC. Which one is yours and does it matter if yours is not PATA? I am sorry I cannot seem to find this website again but I remember something like the last 4 characters of a reference number on the SSD should be ....CX00 where X tells you which one it is? Hope this is not a time waster!

If I do find it again I will post.

Thanks - just trying to reduce the variables
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] boinger66:
well the athena does have microdrive drivers in it specificly tied to md
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] ol2:
Thanks for the suggestions. I downloaded and ran both of the tools but neither showed the SSD card. So I am still looking for ideas and/or drivers.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] ol2:
1. I did put the Microdrive back in and that worked fine. Interestingly, when I initially turned the Athena back on, it popped up a messaging saying that a new storage card had been detected and did I want to format it (even though it was the Microdrive I had just taken out and it was previously formatted). I was hoping that a similar message would appear when I reinstalled the SSD card, but nothing happened.

2. I dont think the Transcend SSD card is marketted as a Microdrive replacement for the Athena. Given that it doesn't simply work, I think we can assume that there is some interface difference, but I dont know what it is.

3. The Microdrive has a large Hitachi label on it. P/N 0A40761 Model HMS361008M5CE00

4. The SSD is TS16GSSD10-M. See http://www.transcendusa.com/support/dlcenter/datasheet/SSD10-M Datasheet v1.0.pdf. Which is ATA/ATAPI 4 PIO Modes 0-4 "No device driver required".

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] xfiver:
ol2,

Thanks for the info

It was the MD that had 3 interfaces not the SSD, your MD is pata ...CE00 - my apologies

Given that on paper both the MD and the SSD are 'compatible', may I suggest just one last idea.

If HTC developed drivers specifically for the MD it may have preset cylinders, heads, sector sizes for the MD. These may be different for the SSD - values given in pdf.

In my early days - before 'intelligent' disk drivers, I actually had to set the cyclinder, heads and sector sizes. Otherwise the discs had various probs - e.g not found, full size not reported etc.

The HTC drivers may not be reporting the above error. Is it possible ( or can boinger66) confirm what the MD drivers values are set at and can these be changed to the values for the (your) 16GB ssd?

Thanks
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] xfiver:
ol2,

I just found from the Hitachi site for the 8GB MD

No. Sectors per Track.........63.....................63

No. cylinders...............15,501................33,149

No. Sectors...........15,625,008..........31,325,805 (*)

Strangely the 16GB SSD has 15 logical heads.

I wonder if any disk drive expert/AP developers could explain whether this is the reason why the SSD is not working ?

Well, I got my SSD in the mail today. Shipping from the UK took longer then expected so I"d recommend not trying to save a few bucks and using the Transcend site which ships from within the US.

This being Memorial Day weekend here in the US I won't be able to operate on my Athena this weekend. Next weekend I plan to open it up for surgery and if we haven't figured out what to try next I'll contact the AP5 team about testing it on my phone.

The one thing I may try first during the week is wait on hold at transcend to ask them if the drive comes pre-formated or if there is anything else that must be done.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] PBL1:
If this is a formatting issue transcend should be able to solve it easily, but maybe it means that the card need to be formatted for a particular device, Transcend may not very happy about this since the card will be intended for general usage and rather let the device manufacturers ( the intended marked) deal with this issue

perhaps they could provide a small tool to allow the disk to be detected and formatted under WM6, that's it they bother to write it.

If anybody know how to make this work, that is HTC and they may not be very interested, any nice HTC engineers around here? if there some info leak I promise I wont tell ;)

Good luck with your card
