Where it's the ir blaster port on the mega?

I can't find any reference to it on the I527m.

But kinda hoping it might have it.

(It dose, yea,)

There are reports that the ir blaster on the s4 are working in cm11 and the htc one. Possibly if the chipsets are the same for the Mega and s4 ir blaster are the same we might be in luck.

Have to find some apps to test with.

I have a ir blaster on my computer so I could test with s little set up

Also do you know when PAC will be released ?

Im on this CM 11 20131231 on my I9205, and I have been using "Apple TV Infrared Remote Free" by Peter Mossaad for quite a while. It works perfectly fine.

What about the IR blaster is it that does not work?

It's a good thing that it works, since the tiny remotes that come with Apple TV are impossible not to lose (as long as you have small children in the house hold).
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
So IR works?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] brunte:
I have not tried any other IR app, but for the Apple TV it does work, with the app that i mentioned. Are there any other apps (free) that you suggest i try?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:

Samsung IR - Universal Remote by POWER7 NET also works. It's a real hassle setting it up, but i managed to find a setting for at least turning my TV on (not off though :) ).
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] nutpants:
The ir blaster is working

(At least in latest bean stalk)

At least out turns on my rca tv and changes channels from 2 feet away.

I used "smart ir remote Samsung/htc"

guys, im really sorry that my post is not appropriate to this thread but please help me, im dying to flash this CM ROM in my i9200, can you guys tell me/give me some links to root and install CWM/TWRP that actually works so i could continue to flash CM and join with all of you in this thread.. i had already follow the rooting instructions carefully and precisely, but always made my mass storage shrunk from 16Gb to 8GB with 200Mb free memory. what should i do? i really really wanna try this cyanogenmod, i hate TW. thank you guys for the reply.

P.S: im not yet installed microSD to my phone yet, should i?

You should have an unlocked bootloader and should not be running a knox enabled stock rom on your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] matius44:
If I remember correctly from the N7000 days, difference SKUs (ie phones with different storages) need different pit files I think, but I'm not an expert on the matter.

Maybe Silesh or Grarak can give some more info on this matter since they are the developers and tge experts.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] micu999:
so, from your suggestion i;m on locked bootloader and stock ROM with KNOX in it? should i continue the rooting progress using your preferred link and ignoring everything or flash non-KNOX stock rom then root?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
No dude. That's the basic requirement for flashing. If you have any of these and flash, you may brick your device. I too have the I9200.

What's your phone model? Link me to a stock rom for your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Attached is the HTC one app. See if it works better.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] micu999:
I did flash and already rooted and installed CWM successfully but the mass storage shrunk from 16GB to 8GB with free 200MB on board. after i flashed to stock ROM this file (I9200XXUBMJ4_I9200OLBBMJ4_I9200XXUBMJ2_HOME.tar.md5) my mass storage back to 16GB untouched. and im afraid when i'm trying those rooting instruction using file named "vcoreroot-v2.tar" and installed CWM recovery, my mass storage phone shrunk again for the countless time and i couldn't flash custom ROM bcoz of insufficiency in my shrunk mass storage post-rooting. And thank God, till now my phone isn't bricking. i'm afraid it may burn my phone's chip LOL.

Galaxy Mega GT-i9200. thanks, any suggestions?

P.S: should we continue this conversation via private messages? just saying. i do apologize whether my problem bother anyone in this thread, sorry guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Flash your stock rom and then flash either my recovery or philz recovery. Then check if your data size has shrunk. If no, follow the instuctions from the link I sent you.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] micu999:
OK, one curious question: is it OK to flash "philz_touch_6.08.8-melius3gxx.tar.md5" via odin without rooting it first? or it is already rooted in the progress?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
You'll get rooted automatically if you use twrp. Not sure about philz cwm. The main thing to remember is to reboot to recovery first after flashing the recovery tar file, before rebooting to your homescreen. Else your recovery will get overwritten with the stock one.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] micu999:
i'm looking for your recovery but nowhere to be found, do you have the direct link?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
https://mega.co.nz/#F!op9STS7A!Wwdf_SxfxCNQvbNtbBbdgw
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] micu999:
thank you so muuuuuch.. it works, bravely flashed philz CWM via ODIN -> recovery -> clean dalvik cache -> flash CM ROM -> reboot recovery -> flash gapps -> booting to CM

yaaaay..

but another problem appear, is it ok whether my model number changed to GT-i9205 instead of GT-i9200? is it normal or did i do something wrong? and i could not connect to the internet and wont login to my google account, but i barely could make phone call and text. any suggestion?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] brunte:
This app does not recognize any supported hardware in the Mega.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Change your mobile network from lte to 2g/3g.

Its ok that it shows 9205. Thats only cosmetic. What do you mean by you are not able to connect to internet? Wifi not working? You may also need to edit your apn if your data is not working.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] micu999:
yaaay! after normal reboot for the first time, it works like charm! my internet connection is back online! woohoo!

another good news is my mass storage stand still at 12 GB free of 16GB, thank you s much [MENTION=4551757]Silesh.Nair[/MENTION]

but for a second i saw, the icons are bit blurry, is it just me or everyone else felt it too?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] brunte:
I must recommend "Octopus Universal IR Remote" by OctopusTorta. I managed to set it up to control my TV. Very easy and hassle free interface.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] micu999:
Guys, im super newbie in here, im already reading 10 pages-ish back there and i dont find any solution regarding bluetooth, it keeps crashing all the time, no bluetooth means no nfc, does anyone know how to fix this? Or it's one of the CM bugs in i9200?

Thank you for your help. I deeply appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] brunte:
I'm still on previous release 20131231, but bluetooth has worked for me all along. I use it to connect to two different head sets. Apart from being on the said release, I installed Google core apps. I have not changed kernels, and have not altered anything else such as using xposed framework or changing dpi. I don't know what more to say. What sort of bluetooth devices are you failing to use?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] knives of ice:
of course Apple Tv works - it does not use IR you use bluetooth to control it or you can be on the same wifi network.

IR control is definitely not working in CM right now. if it is working on another rom hopefully we can get it working with CM.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] micu999:
When im turning it on from settings->bluetooth and\or turning on NFC and trying to send something, the pop up appear, "unfortunately, the process.com.android.bluetooth has stopped". My email app crashed, bluetooth settings suddenly closed.

It didnt crashed when :

1. Im trying to open settings and slide the toggle on

2. Im trying to switch on from toggle tile (sometimes)

Me too, i hadnt flash custom kernels and using neither xposed framework nor change the dpi. Did i do something wrong? Do you think i need to downgrade to 20131231?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] brunte:
No...

Just to be sure I disabled wifi and turned the Apple TV on just now, with the phone (it can't have been anything then infrared rays from my phone that did that).. And with another app I can control my TV, which does not have a wifi interface at all.

Am I an exception when it comes to having functioning IR blaster in my I9205 or what?

---------- Post added at 11:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------

Maybe... I don't know, but has any one else had their bluetooth functions stop working after installing the newest version of CM11 ?

Otherwise maybe you could be a little brutish about it and do a full wipe, reinstall the rom, then do a full wipe again. I don't know why, but such things seem to fix issues some times. I will gladly have feed back on if thats just stupid, but what the heck :)

Edit:

I on the other hand have not tried to send anything over bluetooth, just used it for head sets.

Hi,

Time for a question: when did the batterydrain start?

anyone on 08/01? or 31/12

Also... Silesh.Nair is there any reason to leave only 16/12 and 13/12 on you hosts and leave 31/12 en 08/01 out?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] knives of ice:
weird problem i have:

i still can't get the other calenders i've added to show up, no idea why. i installed the calendar zip that was in the app folder for the gapps. i thought it should try to install google calender in the market as well but it won't install saying incompatible with other applications using the same shared user ID.

just don't get how to fix this calendar problem
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gattaga:
[MENTION=225229]shailesh[/MENTION], can you i ping you with questions regarding compiling?

I wanna add a few commits of my own choice, and add some commits from CM..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Today's build is uploaded.

Changes

1. Removed FM app as it doesn't support the Mega which uses a different chipset

2. Compiled with Linaro Toolchain 4.8

3. Synced to the latest CM Source.

File Name : cm-11-20131214-UNOFFICIAL-meliusltexx.zip

MD5 : e04f2e135aee6cdd36bab27fe4a84b9d

Now that we have all the major issues sorted out, I will be posting builds once in 3 days unless there are significant changes in source.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
No problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] knives of ice:
Not.sure if it's a new setting or not but haptic feedback appears broken in new update
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
I forgot to include it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] knives of ice:
OK cool

Do you have any idea what/if I could be doing wrong no matter what I try can't see my calenders like in the past to sync them

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
I have not yet tried the newest rom update that came out today but i have 20131213 installed and only couple of things is still not working properly which one is the camera but fix is coming for that yet i believe, the second thing is the led indicator, it does work as i don't know if it turns red when battery is low as i never got that low yet but will run the battery down to test that..and when charging it does turn orange, but this is were it isn't quite set properly i believe, it should turn green when it reaches 100% correct. But it turns green when it hits 90% to say it is fully charged but it is not, but it does keep charging still, when back at 89% and connect to charger it is orange again, but as soon as it hits 90% again the led turns green.

Maybe this can be set to turn green when it actually is charged to a 100%, not sure if anybody has had this problem besides me..any fix or advise to change the led to turn green at 100%. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
I'll have a look at the settings. You are saying it should turn to green only when it is fully charged?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
I don't have problems with my calendar. Anyone else with the same issues? In the past means, with stock ROM or earlier builds of CM?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
That would be nice as this is the way it was in the stock rom, when it got to 100% it would turn green then.. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kipue:
I had issues with some of my calendars (not all of them) to sync before, on stock.

I used an app called Business Calendar to see them.

It then fixed itself somehow. I wonder if it isn t a permission in the Google calendar, because at the time, I was trying to see how sharing calendar works.

No problem on CM, though.

By the way, Silesh.Nair, what is the thing with toolchains? some advantage to use one or the other? Just curious :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] knives of ice:
yeah, basically my calendar will not sync. it does not see the other calendars i've added to google calendar for instance the nhl schedule for this season. i've tried everything i can think of.

i installed the 4.4.2 gapps. i began to think and try any gapps i could find and nothing has helped.

when you guys installed your gapps what exactly did you use and did you install all the extra zips in the 4.4.2 gapps folder in the first post?

i've also tried installing these paranoid 0 day gapps posted

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kipue:
Have you tried the core GAPPS? (4.4.1)

Those are ones I use. Might be worth a try.

Thanks for the link Silesh.Nair, will have a look :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
I think its meant to be that way for CM. See here.

I'll keep looking.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] d4ndr0id:
I'm having data drop issues. When I'm at work in my office, the data cuts out and I have to switch from LTE to 3G and back and forth to keep the data working. This doesn't happen when I'm outside though, and it never happened when I was using my s3 gt-i9300 wanamlite 4.1.2 or 4.3

My coworkers also has the same problem on his s3 ever since he went stock 4.3.

Is this a power saving bug of 4.3 or kitkat? It feels like the data connection terminates when not active then has a problem pinging the DNS because if I Torrent while I'm at work, the data does not drop.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
There is a problem with the last few builds of CM for the SGS4 Mini too. I suggest you go back to your nandroid.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] wayate:
Ok. Flashed yesterday night, I don't seem to have any battery drain issue until now using the last build of cm11. Maybe its just me.

- Bluetooth works fine for me.

- Video recorder seems to have been fixed.The preview is pixelated but the video when recorded in HD is in excellent quality.

- no freeze time for me

Im with the stock kernel. I don't use grarack's one for now.

I keep testing and i give feedback soon.

Edit : in deed, the battery drains abnormally fast. 6 hours of use and 23%. Less than a day last. Back to beanstalk.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] chayjinn:
can we know which build is not sync to the latest cm source? i am using your latest carbon rom, cm11 rom, and slimkat, 3 of them have these issues as well. i think because of they sync with the latest cm source. thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Droidphilev:
Hi Silesh,

Is there a way for you to check which build is the last good one please?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
CM use 16-12, Others should not have a problem afaik. Someone needs to check today's PA build.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Droidphilev:
+1 for Slimkat (not getting hot AFAIK)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kamzata:
13/01/2014 build is a wormhole. Without use the phone battery drain about more then 50% in 3 hours. I'm getting back to the 16/12/2013. I hope streaming youtube audio over bluetooth works.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] chayjinn:

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Droidphilev:
latest Slimkat yes. Sometimes phone cannot be unlocked. SOmetimes it hangs for a while in or after a call. And sometimes wifi hangs
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
I have removed the latest build from mega/pcloud. Use 16/12 for now. I am running the carbon rom that I compiled now and will check if the issues persist. Will update tomorrow.
