This is a small little mod I made after I found this thread about fixing the GPS issues with waze by editing gps.config. So for all of you who don't want to make all that by yourself I decided to make a AROMA zip with a collection of multiple regions. You can post a request for your region here and I will add it. I can confirm that it works for me but I cannot promise it will fix the issue for everyone.
Information and Credits
Tutorial made by @Xenova in this Thread: Over here
This website has all the regions
AROMA theme from @dorimanx
Rest is made by me
Instructions for installing and Waze
1. Turn on Location Services with High accuracy
2. Reboot to TWRP
3. Flash the AROMA zip and select your region
4. Reboot to system
5. Go outside
6. Installl GPS Test from Play store and run it
7. Wait until you get GNSS Status "3D Fix" and Accuracy ~10m (Refer to Screenshot)
8. Open Waze and it should work

Or provide a suitable SN number. We probably bought the wrong device (Iolite). Look at all the forum, this one has the minimum people interested.

I am so excited and cannot wait. ?
Nevertheless I am quite upset about this.
Comparing the Manuals (a5, j5, s6) I found out that the Galaxy A5 won't get a theme store! ? (Which is probably all I really wanted. I've been waiting for this for so long.)
And again Samsung disappointed me.
I hope that this is just a small mistake in the manual but I guess they just again want us to buy a newer phone. ? I hate this policy. Our phone is only a year old but they kind of treat it like it's already dead. (You can't find it on the Samsung website anymore.)
Well okay let's hope for the best. ? (still excited)
Yup, i wait for theme store with MM update, but a few weeks ago when manual updated and heard that will be NO theme store in MM for A500 i give it up and already switch to A5 2016...honestly i like TW but in midrange phones is boring...so update a litle the phone...a litle shame to Sammy but A500 is not so cheap and deserve more...

it has been said like 100 times, Samsung wont update the older generation with the new features. Note 3 and Note 4 lack a theme store too...
It is a different branch of TouchWiz, and we will not get it. As long as we get Marshamallow, the other stuff will be easy to port.
That's true, the changes are minimal, as discussed in the Facebook group they have just changed the icons and permission management. No Doze Mode (although Samsung supplies him with their Modes of saving energy), there is not Themes Store and others features, but as the fellow PlutoDelic said, having updated your Galaxy A5 with Android Marshmallow is easier to port several features of S6 and S7 . Do not forget that it is also important is the security patch updated to July -and august- this year. Greetings.
Any idea on whether the released firmware would work on the A500H variant?
you can try the FU version but i dont recomand it can brick you phone
Never try another version, you will 100% brick your phone, i have that experience one year ago....

So b301 - b310 - b320 - b340 - b350 all = MM
Oh.. Thanks for the Info @clsA

The manual update file belongs to indian version (KIW-L22). Since you said the same version, hoping so there wont be any difference.
Try manual ota update, far better than hicare

Why should they use their resources on the region which doesn't asks update? That's the reason. May be.
As of my knowledge from the forums, people using India, UK and US variant are only asking for update. So they provide only for them.
Providing update for the need of only 10 persons will be cost inefficient for the region that doesn't requires update.
Malaysian users do want the latest update, malaysia is the biggest consumer of smartphone.
maybe because of some weird reasons, they are just being avoided.
I think their main focus is on US, EU and India

Hello good people!
I've been wondering, does Xiaomi implement regional divisions for their devices as Samsung does?
My friend and I spotted a small difference of one of the pre-loaded apps in the Mi A3 between mine and his. I got the nbu.files Files app and he got the documentsui Files app. I'm in Asia and he's in Canada. Or is it just a matter of different versions due to OS release?
No big deal, though, just wondering.
Thanks in advance!
