i have been out all day but when i get home i will look into this. thanks for the testing and for the heads up
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
May be it was the VisualGPSce which shows the missing ports, not in external gps setting program.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
it is dcibattery and qwertymemory

Don't rotate the screen manually, just attach the keyboard and the screen will rotate the right way :)

OR install quickmenu, it has all the screen rotation options

Hi,

I have no problems with GPS in Irus WM6.1. I use radio 1.50 tho. Maybe 1.57 gives this problems. My map is Polish make AutoMapa last edition. It has found my GPS on com 4 automatically (like before) . I haven't noticed any difference in speed. It usually takes about 30-60 seconds to set my position on the map, i guess.

I haven't tried WIMP because main is not unlocked yet, but I am also using an old GPSInfo.exe program for tests and it has found several satellites being about half a meter from the window in my home. The satellites were marked with red color (to week signal) but it took about 60 seconds to find them.

By the way, I assume, you are using QuickGPS, aren't you?

Edited: I also confirm your findings about contacts bug. It is a bit annoying, but I am trying to live with it. Comparing to old Original HTC WM6, this one is a big progress.

Edit 2: Irus, you should change the title of this thread, and add info about SPL 1.2. For people who do not want get in to dead end of SPL3.5 (at least for now) this is great opportunity to catch this WM6.1 bandwagon. Specially that it is so easy to set it up on HTC-X7500.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
Hi,

Unless you use stopwatch to time it and compare both ROM, you will not realise the longer time taken, although you should see that the signal strength is weaker. Some GPS software will still work with the weakened strength, but some won't. My Mobile Golf Scorer has a few missing com GPS ports, so is VisualGPSce I think under irus ROM.

Why not you try out Sprite Terminator and see if you could get any GPS fix at all?

Yes, I had already downloaded QuickGPS, and even used iGO to get a 3D fix before starting Sprite Terminator, but still it will not work in Irus ROM. In contrast, the Black Touch got a fix quickly without even have to use quick GPS and iGO first.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] responderman:
Thanks Irus, got it sussed ta.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] irus:
i agree with you eaglesteve there is a conflict between my rom and sprite terminator, as far as gps weak i will test it tomorrow with the other rom you speak of, which rom is it you tested it on and it worked ap 1, 2, or 3. so thats it for me tonight as it is date night for me and my gf :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
It was the black touch. I think it is AP2. I thought that AP1 might still have too much bugs, while AP3 has too much things to uninstall. AP2 was the one closest to a stable Vanilla, hence my choice.

I'm going to go back to my good old stock ROM to repeat the test the bluetooth file transfer issue later, and let you know the result. Problem is I might have forgotten my HTC asia club user name and password to be able to download that again.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eaglesteve:
I have finished comparing the bluetooth file transfer capability between PK Black Touch and irus WM6.1 and here are the results

PK Black Touch (radio 1.57)

file transfer from Athena to another phone - possible

file transfer from Athena to my laptop - NOT possible

file transfer from another phone to Athena - possible

file transfer from my laptop to Athena - possible

irus WM6.1 Vanilla (radio 1.57)

file transfer from Athena to another phone - possible

file transfer from Athena to my laptop - NOT possible

file transfer from another phone to Athena - NOT possible

file transfer from my laptop to Athena - NOT possible

My Samsung phone is SGH-370 while my laptop is ASUS PR031Fseries.

Therefore there also seems to be some "broken component" somewhere in the bluetooth area in irus WM6.1.

Next I will try to search for my user name and password to redownload my old faithful Dopod U1000 stock ROM to see if the above four could all work.

Edit: tested Dopod U1000 WM6.0 stock ROM (Asia English edition) with radio 1.45

Result is exactly the same result as PK Black Touch.

I also tested the GPS. It works exactly like PK Black Touch also. which means that I could get Sprite Terminator to work without problem. The GPS locking is also fast and stable with no detectable difference as compared to PK Black Touch's although the radio is of an older version. I expect it to work the same if I upgrade radio to 1.57 in the stock ROM.

Hello,

Since PIE update I have an annoying problem.

2 side bars similar to edge sidebar (when its closed) appears on my screen (see screenshots).

Theese two bars don't have any actions and can't be swiped., but make little vibrate on swipe.

The main problem is the right sidebar is too close of the send button (messages/whatsapp & messenger) and make half of it don't react (and send message on click).

Here is my observations :

- it's shown over all elements (desktop, app list, all applications)

- it's not visible on lock screen

- it don't show up in Android safe mode

I've dig for hours, and try several methods without success :

- reboot (look stupid, but must be said :))

- disable the real Edge sidebar

- disable Samsung Pay

- remove autorisations for ALL apps to overlay on other apps (screenshot)

- change default keyboard (with swiftkey & Gboard)

I've turn my display to night theme to highlight these sidebar, but they're still there in day mode.

I'm now out of idea... the fact it don't show up in safe mode would orient me to app issue. But due to overlay settings no apps are supposed to being able to do this (except secure folders that can't be disabled)... I have many apps it would be painful to remove /reinstall them...

Did anyone already faces similar issue?

Any idea on how to fix it, or where to dig for?

Thanks a lot in advance for your feedbacks, any help will be highly appreciated :)

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] elitman:
I have the very same problem. By using instragram, I have noticed that I cannot click the like button when the like button is near the white bar. So I am thinking that the white bar shows where the edge of the display is disabled to block "unwanted" touch. I also find it very annoying. Help?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] elitman:
Resolved. Before the Pie update, I have installed here from XDA a package of various apps ported from Pie I think. I had to uninstall the one called something like "one hand +". Once uninstalled, the two bars got removed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] noiwid:
Ohhhh Thanks for your fix !!!!

I've dig around Good lock features yesterday, but forget this one.

Problem solved!

Rom Availability?

Excellent review!!!

Is there any Rom availability?

I have this device for 2 months, has got stuck in boot loop, seller rejects warranty because I didn't keep the box and is hard to contact the official company in Chinese and the direct product page in the review is not working.

Hey! :) I'm [MENTION=4575578]Da-BOSS[/MENTION] or THEBOSS619 or 6.|THE|1|BOSS|.9 known on NBR forums & 4PDA & many other forums... I'm expert on tweaking anything from BIOS to Laptops to Drivers to Smartphones... lol even for smartwatches :o:D Developer on many projects,etc.... Anyway... I'm a person who likes stability & stock ROM over anything else.. who wants to have full control without causing any trouble while maintaining speed & quality of the ROM :cool: Welcome to my world :D were nothing is for free.. so.. I am here to offer the opposite... to offer something for free and from my own precious free time to XDA members... since I usually take what other developers do and optimize it & tweak it to my own liking but I never shared it to anyone... since I use it for my own benefits ;) but... in my mind... I though that this action of sharing this ROM for Oreo Lovers :highfive: might make someone's day happy ;) So.. I decided to share it here...

[IMG="THEBOSS"]https://i.imgur.com/5UJlUmF.jpg[/IMG]

Main Info of this ROM:-

Rom Firmware:-

N960FXXS2ARL4

BL or BootLoader:-

N960FXXS2ARL4

CP or Modem:-

N960FXXU2ARL2

CSC:-

N960FOXM2ARK2

[OXM multi CSC package]

This ROM is based on DevBase ROM made by [MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION] with every features that DevBase have and it is also purely stock without anything modified except that this Oreo ROM is updated from ARL3 to ARL4 since ARL4 have higher changelist than ARL3 so.. nobody tried to give Oreo a shot to update there roms to ARL4 so... I did it by myself and updated it to ARL4 while preserving all DevBase mods & features & options without causing any kind of issues or losing any kind of options that DevBase is offering ;)

So... if you want to have an idea or informattion about Devbase features or mods.. [MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION] already explained & described everything on his post ... here DevBase v6.0

The firmware obtained from Sammobile and being tested with my own Note 9 N960F device and it works without any kind of issues.. any issues you may encounter please.. report it and I will try to fix it as long as I have free time :) , Please understand.... I don't take requests... Thank you! :)

Credit and Thanks for:-

[MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION] - Respected developer for unbelievable contribution to XDA/Android community across all devices :)

[MENTION=9116297]Eamo5[/MENTION] - Respected developer for his amazing kernel & for his ideas and guidance plus his awesome kernel Endurance :)

I'm going to flash this one in a sec. I'm on Pie RomAur now and it's fine but I like Oreo UI more, also themes, xposed, viper and battery life with my particular usage was better on Oreo.

Since I always used ARL3 devbase with my own mods I might as well grab your ARL4 now ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Imprezzion:
I wonder what i'm doing wrong.. I can't force the CSC as it says it isn't supported and it won't install because in TWRP it errors with Can't detect current CSC. I can install DB 5.9 ARL2 just fine with forced CSC for example. ALso ARL3 installation and TWRP nandroid backup work fine with PHN CSC but i can't in any way install your ROM..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Da-BOSS:
Can you install without forcing CSC? the Devbase script will automatically keep your current CSC.. without touching it:)

It never happened when I tested with one of my friends Note 9 and on my own...

Are you doing it with (Format wipe [yes]) type ? Or without wiping? And also it maybe because your Bootloader is updated for PIE and not for Oreo
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Imprezzion:
I flashed ARL4 official with Odin and even then with and without forcing CSC it keeps giving the same error.

Moving the system.img into the old zip of devbase ARL3 with alexandr's original script works fine with forced CSC and xposed. I installed the ARL4 BL from the official release through Odin as well. Now i basically have the same ARL4 with all options.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] will6316:
same here CSC error first time ever seeing that when i tried to flash
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] ciaox:
Getting the same issue here. Please see screenshot.

Tried installing debase 5.9 then reflashing this but same error. Tried with and without forced CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Da-BOSS:
Every thing is stock.. same as Devbase ;) I will see about having icon dock mods but I can't assure you that it will work :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Da-BOSS:
That's what I did ! :confused: ok maybe because of the file naming that causing issues.. I uploaded a new one with renamed file... could you test that? Or or rename the zip file to N960FXXS2ARL4_DevBase_v6.0

Try to redownload again the file or or rename the zip file to N960FXXS2ARL4_DevBase_v6.0

link it's been updated :)

Thank you for providing the screen shot.... Try to redownload again the file.. it's been updated :) or rename the zip file to N960FXXS2ARL4_DevBase_v6.0
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] will6316:
not working so far. I changed the name.... no good. I redonloaded it from google.... no good same error. now im gonna try downloading from mega.....no good
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Imprezzion:
Not working here either, I replaced the ARL3 system.img with the ARL4 one and installed it that way. Flashed ARL4 BL manually through Odin.

Phone Info said my BL is ARL4 however AP still shows as ARL3 so I don't know if it worked properly tho..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Da-BOSS:
Ok... I will temporary remove the download links until I fix it this weird bug.. it never happened during testing phase.. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] bober10113:
n960F or n960N ? N has smaller system partition size than F.

mabe these users are using N model and you are using dev base for n960F .( there are 2 dev bases.... one for F and one for N)

phone runs out of writing space and scripts fail at the end probably when csc part of the script is parsed. so it may have nothing to do with csc but with the system.img partition blocksize

---------- Post added at 01:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 AM ----------

what phone model u guys have?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Da-BOSS:
well.. they have the N model.. well.. my title of this thread was clearly mention N960F/FD... I never mentioned N model so... yea.. maybe because they got the N model.. who knows :D

anyway... I uploaded a new file.. check on it.. report how it goes... I tested it 2 times on my device.. and it is working wonderfully without any TWRP errors... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] will6316:
I have the F model
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] bober10113:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] bober10113:
you can only restore efs and carrier partitions.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Imprezzion:
Now I'm getting a different error but that's probably my problem. CSC and force commands like _xposed work now.

I now get an error saying can't mount new /system after installing with no OS installed after flashing but I don't think that's your files but rather me not wiping and dirty flashing for example or my TWRP isn't working really well..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Da-BOSS:
It is tested without any issues :)

Yup... dirty flashing was never good on any thing and always causes issues :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Da-BOSS:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Da-BOSS:
No need to do anything except that you need to do full wipe then flash my ROM... it already have vendor on it same as original DevBase ROM :)

Enjoy ❤
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] boonhim:
You mean wipe system, data and also do i need to flash ARL BL?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Da-BOSS:
Yes :) but for bootloader... I always prefer to match it with ROM build... so... yes flash the bootloader to ARL4.. I will soon today provide the bootloader file with ARL4 to make it easier for you & others to flash through Odin ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Imprezzion:
Hmm. I am still facing the whole rooted Oreo Bluetooth pairing issues on this ROM. All rooted Oreo ROMs have this and the magisk module doesn't fix it. I think it's cause it moves the files to /system/vendor/lib when they have to be in /system/lib. And it doesn't disable securestorage in build.prop.

I manually placed the files and edited build.prop so it should work now. Can only test this on my car stereo when I'm off from work.

I will also upload the BL from ARL4 if you haven't done it yet when I get home this afternoon. I still have the .md5 on my PC ready for Odin flashing so.. no big deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Da-BOSS:
I don't suffer from any bluetooth pairing issues... I have my own smartwatch and I pair with it without any issues ;) I have a specific magisk module I personally use it... it is made by [MENTION=9116297]Eamo5[/MENTION] so... it is not found in magisk store or repo :)

I will provide it later today with the BL file but first... let me ask Eamo5 permission because he is the one who made it :) if he accepts... I will include magisk module download link in the main post ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Da-BOSS:
Bootloader ARL4 file added on the download link section :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Imprezzion:
There is a module in magisk meant for the s9 which I did have active but it didn't help. Might also be my cheap car stereo that just isn't very cooperative hehe. If my manual fix works I'll just leave it be for now.

For the rest your ROM is running very well, nice and snappy, battery is fine as I don't use any tweaks like L Speed. I do use Endurance Kernel but also untweaked. Amy recommendations in terms of tweaks i should do?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Da-BOSS:
I mainly use L Speed for performance & battery tweaks... some people dislike this app but... to my experience with it.. the difference is night & day.. you just need to know which settings you must enable ;)

Anyway... [MENTION=9116297]Eamo5[/MENTION] granted the permission for his special magisk module to

Fix The Common BT Pairing Problems

;) and he uploaded it through mega link ;) it is posted on the download section ;) enjoy! :fingers-crossed:

in twrp manually mount all partitions b4 zip.

if still an issue, then manually UNmount all partitions b4 zip.

so if its a mount issue ull know. also check if system or internal data is not 0 size
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] naya28:
tks i ll give it a try:)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] naya28:
it doesn t work for me...I tried everthing but...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] bober10113:
well for starters it clearly says ure rom zip is corrupt.

redownload the rom and do a md5 check or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Imprezzion:
I'm not quite sure it's related. I have the same /system mount issues with both daboss and alexandr's version of DevBase.

Any Pie ROM installs just fine, a backup of this ROM also gives the same error however flashing system image separately let's it boot even with /system wiped before that and NOT flashing system backup.

The only way I can flashing either of these ROMs is to Odin ARL4 onto my phone and flash it without wiping. This will.give the /system but the Odin flashing already put /system on the phone so it just boots.. I can Imagine extracting the system.img from the ROM zip and fastboot flashing it should work just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] bober10113:
why is there the word for 'data' written in french?(données)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] naya28:
i didnt mount data partition,just system in ext 4 then,resize,then repair,then format data,typing yes...

i ve fashed arl4 with odin before...

hoppefully i have a mac with windows partition,so i can use mtp to send files to my phone...

then i flah o8,vendor,and restore a twrp backup.

i just need this base to update oreo firmeare...but recovery don t want to force cfc partition ...

it s english so i don t understand every things here but ,anyway it does not work.

maybee Bober can give me another advice:)

have a good day!
