Would anyone know if there is any difference between 'remove bloatware' and manually removing bloatware using Titanium Backup? Is there absolutely no difference except that doing it manually takes longer?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] stojko007:
help please...maybe answer is somwhere on this 208 pages but i have problem now...and dont have time to look 208 pages...please

had stock MDE...flashed 3.1 omega abnd i cant turn on wifi....where is the problem?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Chema_F:
Removebloatware.zip makes a backup which you can easily restore with restorebloatware.zip or manually if you don't wanna restore all the bloatware.

If you remove with TB, no backup is done unless you manually do it.

Changelog for the upcoming Omega v23 added to first posts
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] EliaAlberti:
I'm on v.21 and I've read the change log for both v22 and v23 and I was wondering, is it really worth to update now or shall I wait for the official 4.4.2 firmware by samsung and then update?

For what I can see the changes are very minor and every time I flash even without full wipe I have to re-flash things like barclays banking app which then automatically flashes superSU etc etc

not sure it's worth it but still I would appreciate your opinion in regards.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Gotcher:
I really hate to ask that question because I'm not sure whether it has been answered already or not, but can we expect an Omega version soon which is Knox free soon? I read that the full 4.4.2 version for the S4 is currently being rolled out (or is v22 and v23 already based on the official update and not the leaked ones?) and that Samsung will probably release the sources for it very soon. Is that true? So is it just a matter of time when the Knox free version of Omega will be released?

If you have problems with pattern lockscreen try following:

- Set secure lockscreen on 4.3 ROM then you flash 4.4.2 without wiping data.

See above. And if you want 100% working rom you will need new bootloader.

And no problems here so far with V23

Hi there,

This will be the first time I'm flashing a custom ROM. I mainly want to do this because in kitkat, Google has prevented apps from modifying files in an external sd card and samsung has implemented that in their latest 4.4.2 build. Could you please tell me if this ROM works around that and lets app modify files in the external sd crd?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Nuovo Imperium:
Was good to see that many members have installed v23 without any issues, but there comes I. :fingers-crossed:

I couldn't flash the modem via Odin. In Odin 3.09 I choosed the BL (Bootloader), TWRP v"XY" (PDA) and XUFNB8 (as Modem) files and hit the Start button. Everything went fine, it Passed. then I opened the recovery, and installed Omega v23. Also everything went fine, I had a "bootloop" (3-4 restarts when I wanted to hit the pincode) but then it solved itself somehow. :D The ROM is fine, I can make calls but I can't turn the Wi-Fi on, and my baseband stood on the previous one (UEMJ5).

What did I do wrong?
