GPS has nothing to do with bootloader and modem of our phones.

GPS is a sensor in the phone that helps it detect the position of it in the world.

Its a hardware thing and not a software as bootloader or modem partitions, that can be flashed and updated.

So, if your GPS sensor is NOT working at all, only thing you can do is change it, which honestly its not an easy thing to do. At least not if you are a specialized service technician. Also I dont know if you can get that spare part to do it anymore.

GPS position on our phones, is not just using that sensor to locate your phone.

In GPS setting you can find out that the phone can use WIFI scanning along with BT scanning to determine a high accuracy position of your phone.

That means GPS sensor is giving the position to your phone, but also phone can receive signals from cellular networks, wifi signals and BT connections determine the best for location.

If the GPS in your phone is not working at all, 2 things can be happening.

1. Your sensor is dead.

2. the software used in your phone is not optimized to start your sensor and get the information it needs to determine location.

The PIE roms that this moment are available around, can very well handle GPS given or take, so we can say that in any of these you are on, GPS is working in general.

There is NO rom at this point that GPS is not working AT ALL.

So, if you DONT get any GPS data, your sensor is dead.

If you have weak signal, but working somehow, then its your position fault or roms .

The best way to determine that is an app maybe (GPS test,cpu-z, or sensor repair tools) to help you see if your sensor is working.

The ultimate test is flashing the stock rom.

If GPS is not working on that , too, there is no easy solution I am afraid.

If it does, look for a rom that is working the better for you.

SO, in conclusion, there is not a software that can be flashed to make your GPS better.

If your sensor is working, rom is the problem

Tks buddy for helping me understand cos I am using a SM-N910G and according to SamMobile, the PDA and CSC updated as in 2018 March 27 for Android 6.0.1!!! So I was wondering how would they still updates it and also for what purpose would Samsung takes the trouble to update it since most of us are using Android 8 and above?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] logosA:
If you look deeper in the update, you will find out that AP (meaning the rom its self) is not updated.

Its always the same. Sometimes security update in it, but not anymore since a long time now.

What is updated though, was Bootloaders and Modems, probably following the changes happening in cellular connections by the companies.

That make sence you know, other wise many phones wouldnt be able to connect to cellular or WIFI networks if they didnt from time to time.

At least thats the explanation I can give, on why bother update just these components of the rom.

You can understand, why they dont update the rest of the rom.

To keep users on the loop to buy new phones, as often as they can.

Thats why custom roms are so important and we all need to support them.

Keep our phones alive, years after Samsung has left us behind.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] novaol:
Hi buddy, you are absolutely right.. that makes sense.. will update mine as well and see if this new updates works well. Tks for clearing my doubts.. Cheers
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] FirebirdStud:
I have had a chance to try out the new modem.. what a difference! I drove a couple places where it would always die, and never restart itself. This time, it restarted itself! Once I was back in a signal area, signal came back.

WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS HOW EXCITED I AM RIGHT NOW!!!!

Thank you for this ROM, your help, and everything else.

You rock!!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] novaol:
Well that is a wonderful news. Guessed you were having an older date Bootloader and Modem on your device. I have just updated mine a while back and will be testing out myself on those routes that I'm having blindspots on carrier and see if that helps in the coming days. Wish me luck as you have.. cheers

Hi guys, can I check with you all whether OTA missing on System settings. Is it normal? Else where to get it back?

I know I can manually download any new updates here but it would be good if I can get it over the air when it is ready. Appreciate your advise on this. Cheers
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] logosA:
There is no OTA available in any PIE rom , I am afraid.

For OTA to be available, a rom has to have the OFFICIAL support in it.

Meaning, each time the team is releasing an update, through the servers of the Group (AICP, LOS, etc), update is been pushed to our phones.

There is no such a thing anymore for our Note 4, as all the major groups (who could have the possibility for OTA), do not OFFICIAL maintain roms for us.

All the roms that you see, are made with the individual work and efforts of our devs, alone
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] novaol:
Well previously I was using Resurrection Remix ROM so it does includes the OTA updates inside the System->Advanced option and see the Updates options there.. I'm kinda lost when I use this ROM which was missing. Tks for clarification again. Cheers
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] logosA:
Yes, you are right about that.

RR is OFFICIAL, so OTA is a thing working for them.

If you see un-official in the title of a rom, most probably there is no OTA in it
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] novaol:
Okay, now I get why the subject header is listed Official or UnOfficial now..... no matter, I can still download it when the new updates are ready.. Just kinda missed OTA as I was running RR Rom for quite a while hee hee.. But with this PIE, loved it without any problems so far *touch wood*. Tks buddy. Cheers

Hi all,

I just did a test build for Pixel Experience, trlte, tblte trlteduos and are uploading them to bit.ly/triplr_note4

your welcome to try them they include the new kernel

tblte and trlteduos are in upload process

Each rom is 700 megabytes, no gapps needed, just flash and boot. I am gonna test trlte right now.

thanks [MENTION=9382231]Inkypen[/MENTION]
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] logosA:
I think we have a winner here

I am talking serious about that.

This is a as fast as it takes rom, amazing vivid colors, unbelievable details in games and 3d textures , great screen reaction in the slightest touch you make on it.

The rom responds very fast to anything asked, without hesitating a millisecond.

I think, whoever flash this rom will agree with me.

But you will only believe it, if you try it.
[MENTION=5624167]tripLr[/MENTION], you have created a beast here :)

Thank you

:good::):good:
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] tripLr:
Not me, I just decided to do all the builds for our group so the devs can focus on bugs.

That said,

I love this.

First off, install experience.

1. Install rom

2. Install magisk

Boot. This is the fastest boot setup I have ever did.

No gapps needed.

So in reality all the binaries are the freshest direct from Google while compiling.

This is using [MENTION=6005084]ripee[/MENTION] kernel. So it's tweakable. But stock it's awesome.

Setup my Google account, instead of restoring 90 apps including Google apps, I restored 30. So, fast setup.

And my auto dim screen is working.

I am at work today, so I'll test. But I think I'm gonna make this my week long test.

Thanks to [MENTION=9382231]Inkypen[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6005084]ripee[/MENTION] for making this one possible.

Personally I rooted my phone so I wouldn't have to buy a new one.

This is as close to a stock aosp Google pixel as you can get. For free

I have been using it nearly two weeks and I have to say I don't encounter problems, hangs, crashed on apps or phone so far. Battery drain remains good and manageable. It's an awesome piece of work done here. GREAT JOB! I do hope when Android Q comes out, we can get the same Pixel Experience for Q too.. hee hee... Cheers

After all day, first I did a backup while headed to work, then an install while at work. And worked all day.

Still 50 percent with always on display.

Note even though we don't have flipflap. This rom still senses my cover going close and sleeps the display.

Soooo neat.

New build is up, but the security update didn't happen yet.

I was testing my remote build method due to [MENTION=6601373]Shizzle2889[/MENTION] having remote access crashes.

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] novaol:
I don't know if it is a bug.. If my phone boots up with the carrier, it works fine and you could change to wifi for your home or office. But if you have it boot up with the wifi and then switch to carrier mode, the phone will reboot. Anyone has that issue?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] nikoum:
Finferprint is working although it is stated not to work. I have installed the PixelExperience_trlte-9.0-20190807-1514-UNOFFICIAL.zip from [MENTION=5624167]tripLr[/MENTION] post no 64 (bit.ly/triplr_note4) and to my surprise finferprint is working very well in my N910F.

[MENTION=5624167]tripLr[/MENTION], do you have a special flipcover case that when you close it, the display goes to sleep because mine does not ?

One thing i found, is that when the screen is off, if i pass a small magnet over the lower left side of the phone (left of the home button) the screen wakes up. So i glued the small magnet on my flip cover case in the appropriate place and now when i open the cover the screen wakes up.

The only thing i found not working is the double tap to wake the screen. Has anyone worked this thing out ?

Many thanks to all who have contributed to this excellent rom
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] anthodenn:
Try going to settings. And at the top in the search bar type ' double tap' then you should see what you want from the selection.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] chandarlin:
Hi everyone,

I keep having bluetooth crash notification after I flashed this ROM.

Cannot remove that notification.

Anyone can help me with a solution PLEASE ???????
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] logosA:
Double tap to wake is only working in our phones if ALWAYS ON future is enabled.

But then this is a huge battery drain I am afraid

BT is a system app so this will pop up .

What you have to do is next time the notification comes out, choose mute until phone restart.

If that even isnt helping, disable your BT from quick Tiles and reboot your phone
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] chandarlin:
Bluetooth crash notification

Thank you for answering. I do mute it and even disable it in settings, but it keep coming up again everytime even when I disable it.

---------- Post added at 06:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 AM ----------

The point you miss @73sidney, is we dont actually develop this rom. We are not a part of lineageos, pixel experience, viper aokp, aicp , or anyone else that creates a custom manifest.xml which tells the compilers to create a custom AOSP rom.

Since you debloat everything you install, i suggest a solution for your individuality you express.

You are one unique individual among 6 or seven billion fellow humans on earth.

Take a list of what you consider bloat in a rom.

Get a github account,

Fork the manifest.xml of your most favorite rom, And pare down the 80,000 files somehow that are in the source code.

Start removing all the stuff you dont like, till your down to a blank blacK screen with a phone icon and a wifi button,

And send me the link, i will compile it and ypu can see if it boots.

Then we will call guiness book of world records, and post in xda, the worlds record most debloated and smallest android experi3nce ever. we will call it the downunder rom. Im am dead serious,

it would probably compile in 8 minutes, boot in 3 seconds.

Im not joking, there is prrobably at least 20 people in the world who have OCD like you do about bloat in your phone.

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] anote4fan:
I am having an issue with my proximity sensor not working correctly. This causes problems with making phone calls as the screen locks and I can't use it. I have a work around where I'm just doing the power button hangs up but I'm hoping to fix the sensor setting. As best I can tell the sensor does work on the ROM, it's just that maybe it doesnt update? E.g. with sensor box it shows open but once I get close it trips and stays tripped. Anyone else have this issue? It seems to be with all ROMs. Flashing back to stock everything works great.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] tripLr:
Ya, were looking at it.

I'm gonna check some of our builds from last month with a totally clean phone and see where it got messed up.

Having an active Bluetooth keeps the screen from staying black. It goes black when the the in call screen activates, where I can switch to speaker or headset

What i like:

Ive tested the latest build and unliek the weirdness i had with AospExtended, this worked out of the box with the same magisk modules with zero drama, i rate this as as stable as my faves AICP and RR.

Recovers especially well from the dread sim deaht with my sim death recovery automate flow, big thumbs up

What dont i like:

The usual -

* too many theme related packages

* ironically missing critical packages (Webview/Gmail/Maps etc), when theres bloated themse crud.

<Mod Edit>

I've edited your post. Calling other users names will not be tolerated!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] tripLr:
Thanks for your response.

If I figure out a way to include webview gmail and maps a build I run, basicly nano gapps, I would be happy to run a test build.

Deleting projects is as easy as adding remove lines to the local_manifest.xml.

So here is a challenge, go to the Rom source code on Github , look at the manifest.xml for the branch and see what could be edited out.

I'm open to creating a slimmed out patch for our manifest just to see how it would compile.

I never use themes anyway, as even dark mode bugs me.

Also can you confirm , without Bluetooth the screen goes black when you dial ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] 73sydney:
Let me know if you do end up trying to add missing g-apps, ill reflash form scratch to give you the actual list of missing "core" packages

Hehe i only wish i knew how to find the manifest.xml file....i looked at github and couldnt make sense of it :) Id love to help with a slim build....so point me to the file if you can thanks

Not sure i understand your question about Bluetooth - do you mean if i have bluetoooth disabled? or removed?

I always disable bluetooth after installing, ive never used bluetooth for anything, literally ever. I also disable Beam....never used that either

I can confirm with it disabled at leats i can dial and the screen remains on

Let me know if you meant if i removed bluetooth....

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] novaol:
Hi [MENTION=5624167]tripLr[/MENTION],

While you are checking, could you re-look at the kernal on GPS tracking cos I've tested with this ROM first and found that I always get GPS not found even on open roads using either Google Maps or Waze. I've taken the liberty to restore to original firmware from Sammobile site and tested on the same roads again and I don't get the lost tracking signals. I will take a look at other ROMs and test it out, but I may not be surprised at all if all using the same platform unless otherwise mentioned. Tks
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] tripLr:
To properly test GPS and Google maps.,

1 set your Rom for device only.

2. Download of line maps. If you loose network connectivity and your road is not cached to your device, you will loose GPS. It's not the Rom, it's how you get the data displayed from the GPS sensor.

A. Cellular towers overwrite local device location, even your non network towers fight to write locations to your devi e

B, Wi-Fi scanning and network location use huge battery life.

I'm not saying you did it wrong, but please check and .............post logs, with screenshots of what u describe
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] novaol:
I'm lost on item 1. What do you mean set your ROM for device only?

Something VERY interesting.....

I use 6 magisk modules on EVERY ROM i use/test, and enabling them as i do after first boot/setup made this ROM not boot....much like they did on the AOSP Extended ROM i tested recently (https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=80136505&postcount=101)...when i did that test i didnt have time to fiddle. But tonight i did...and i know now which module made the ROM bootloop...the Nova Launcher Magisk Module...do NOT ask me why, i use it on every other ROM i use/test and it has never had an issue. But on this and the AOSP Extended ROM's, enabling that module causes the ROM to bootloop.....

Like i said, dont ask me to explain it...all the module does is make Nova system-able. If i disable the module the ROM boots fine. If i install Nova from the play store as a normal app...it works fine....weird....
