Tried this ROM on a Metro PCS Mega

I own a locked Metro PCS Mega and (obviously) am on the Metro PCS network. My phone is rooted and I have TWRP installed (the latest one with KitKat support). I successfully flashed this ROM but have a major issue. I can make phone calls but I cannot get data at all. I think it has something to do with my Metro PCS sim card and/or the locked Mega itself (I doubt that it has to do with the ROM since everyone else has data connectivity).

The phone automatically configured the APN to MetroPCS (fast.metropcs.com) based on the sim card. This is correct. However, I tried both the LTE/WCDMA/GSM network mode and also the 3G network mode without success.

When I go into the network operator settings all the available networks shown are numbers (like 311660 for example) and not names. Usually I would see MetroPCS, T-Mobile, AT&T, etc. as available networks. Also, when I go into device settings, about device, then status, the network says T-Mobile (very strange). I know T-Mobile acquired Metro PCS and MetroPCS is riding on T-Mobile's 4g network but I would like to think that the network should say MetroPCS (as it does when I have the original touchwiz ROM installed). It makes no sense to me that the network says T-Mobile when I have a MetroPCS sim card in this locked phone. Yet I was able to make phone calls with the network saying T-Mobile but not get any data connection.

Anybody have any ideas?

By the way, I reflashed my nandroid backup of the original ROM since I use my phone more so for data than phone calls. I love CM but cannot function without a data connection.

[MENTION=437158]curgervending[/MENTION], check with user [MENTION=3456260]bnb25[/MENTION]. I presume your model no is SGH-M819N. He uses the same phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
Im on metro pcs. I'm getting data, yes it does come up as T-mobile. thats ok. Metro's towers are on t-mobiles network now. here's what i did to get data.

go to settings/ more/mobile networks your preferred network type should be lte (recommended). than go to "Network Operators", Let it do its searching. once its done than click "Choose Automatically". than you will see a popup at the bottom that says "registered network". Your data should work after that.

Great work Silesh!! Really what my Mega needed.

Some feedback

Had a few missed calls in my phone and I am sure I did not hear it ring.

Had a freeze and restart on a call.

There is an email feature which disables zip attachment download. This was supposedly fixed in CM builds. Found that it still exits in this build.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Solitario88:

OK since I installed cm11 sometimes when someone calls me,I couldn't hear anything..... I have to reboot to make the calling work.....also this has happened to PA and AOKP....idk if its a bug on this Roms or is it just me
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shayneflashindaily:
Maybe a bug or maybe a clean install is required .......or the problem I had 2weeks ago in which I bought a ear speaker for a i9200 and put in my i9205 ..(which I don't think it mattered) no problems since :D

Every time I do a clean install and whenever I install these custom Roms my carrier name changes from Fido to Rogers.....right now I'm on stock touchwiz

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
My mistake. It was not enabled. Will set it right in next build. Sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Traine:
Yes i know that but im thinking thats the one that causes my problems....or should i flash the new update with the samsung knox?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
I would not recommend flashing the new update with KNOX if you plan on flashing custom roms in future. See here.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Traine:
Is there a way to upgrade it without Knox being installed?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
No. It will update the bootloader and there is no going back from there. Or someone has to create a custom flashable zip without the Knox stuff. Valente has specified which files he removed. I can take a look.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Traine:
Ok

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Droidphilev:
Hi Silesh,

I saw you posting there that you can try to make flashable zip. Would you be so kind to make a zip with the modem only too?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Modem is flashed using Odin. I'll take a look.

Update

Get it from here. Flash using Odin as Phone.

If baseband doesn't change after flashing, check this post. Check the "Tip of the Day" info.

I presume you know what you are doing. This is for the I9205.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Droidphilev:
Thanks my friend!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] hari_bhaskar82:
Thanks for that and sorry for being a noob, but could you tell me what to do with the apk. Could not install it. Also would be great if everything is enabled. Hate Google for try be a nanny OS.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:

This is my first time with a Cyanogenmod ROM ... so I am a little bit surprised and lost .... but it sounds great once you get used to.!!!!

Is there a mod to have 4 ways reboot without using a dedicated app from the store ??

Recovery or Odin mode is not very easy to achieve with the Mega switches!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Its available in developer settings-> advanced reboot menu.

To see development settings, click on settings->about phone->build no 7 times.

I think the guy was asking if the ROM would root his phone, or would he have to root it separately.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] nicholseric:
CM ROM's have root built in. TWRP has the ability to detect if a ROM is rooted and if it isn't, will prompt you if you want to root it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] pctv007:
Try xPosed Framework with App Settings module. With it you can set DPI individually for each app.

Didn't try it the way you want to use it though. I did the opposite (setting DPI to 180 and having somme Apps stay at 240)

But it should work for you.

Can these work?

Hi, thanks for ur amazing CM11 rom.. been using it for two days now.. its just awesome :D

I had a question..for the future releases..

1: I was reading the threads on this rom..cm11 and came across that IR blaster.

Since we just hav one IR diode on our mega i9200 , it implies its there only for sending signals. (if there were two in the front next to each other, it can send and the other will receive) So does the IR sensor work? I installed Watch On bt i guess it does not work!

(the ir diode doesnt light up - we cant c that with our naked eye, but instead use a camera facing the IR..and then use watchon app.. u ll c the IR blaster glow on the screen of a camera in frnt of it) so i gues nothin is powering the IR diode?

2: can the Air view work in future (thermal sensor behind our screen) ?

3: can multi window work?

4: any luck with the FM Radio?

5: How do we get samsung apps to work.. like.. Wifi Direct and All Share? (it doesn't install for me) is there a way to make these apps to install and work?

awaiting ur wonderful roms :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] madgalaxy:
Thanks you for the verification (I thought I read that somewhere in another thread to just install TWRP)!

Another questions - after installing TWRP and make a nandroid - if I go back to that Touchwiz back-up will there be root? Or is it only in the CM11 ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
You will get an exact replica of your working Touchwiz rom including root.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] madgalaxy:
Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ikkifcporto:
is that with this rom you can install applications on the SD card? thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kipue:
Hi, it is my understanding that the Samsung apps cannot and will never work on roms that are not sammy based.

I think FM radio will not be fixed (although I could be wrong with this)

Multi window, maybe. Is that a feature in Omni rom too? If you think the Samsung multi-windows, then no :)

All this is my understanding, I could be wrong

Most Sammy apps are tied into Samsung framework.res and twframework.res as well as their systemui and settings as such no they won't work.

Multi User Mode?

With this phone being so big is it no appropriate for it to support multi users like a tablet? Here is some info I found on the subject of multi user. I followed the manual steps and was able to set up a new user but switching back and forth between users will not work for me because I cant use landscape mode. After a reboot, before the user tab shows up, I have to redo "setprop fw.max_users 2"

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1807751

I guess PA have decided its not worth it on phones.

This commit is from PA gerrit https://gerrit.paranoidandroid.co/#/c/127/

I don't think they have announced anything officially. IIRC even Google had mentioned that multiuser support on phones is not needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bevinabraham:
Hey.. so i was wondering.. wat if we use cm11 as a base rom, and use d samsung original framework res etc on top of cm..?

IMHO I think it would be best to maintain PAC rom and slimkat, since pac already has cm, pa and aokp features. That in addition to your favourite MIUI of course.

Can I have a small request?

Would you please not include the volume increase mod in your builds? It's making my mega distorts especially in ear piece during calls which made me think my phone can't handle the increase in volume ?
