Its because of the assert lines for the device check. Its there for a purpose so that users don't install wrong images not meant for their devices and brick it. If you know what you are doing, you can remove those lines and it will flash just fine.

The I9205 version will have the following code.

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "meliuslte" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "meliuslte" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "meliusltexx" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "meliusltexx" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "i9205" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "i9205" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9205" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9205" || abort("This package is for 'meliuslte,meliusltexx,i9205,GT-I9205' devices; this is a '" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "'."););

I9200 will have this code.

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "melius3g" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "melius3g" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "melius3gxx" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "melius3gxx" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "i9200" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "i9200" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9200" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9200" || abort("This package is for 'melius3g,melius3gxx,i9200,GT-I9200' devices; this is a '" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "'."););

Sound great :)

Will try this out for sure!

Will test and report if errors are fixed

EDIT:

Yes, account manager now working :)

The rest working as advertised ^^

Personal remark : the hardware buttons do not light up at all. I do not know if that is intentional?

I like to have them, then be able to disable them at night, haha

Happy New Year...

Wishing all of xda member hv more roooms to play around coming 2014

:good: I think i saw the configuration somewhere, need to dig around :confused:

How did you compare the performance with other roms?

Does all the feature working??
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kipue:
Happy new year!

I tried the basic stuff, and I had no issues, and performances seem on par with the other roms.

Had to nandroid back for work, so didn't really use it for too long.

EDIT:

I just installed again, is there an issue with root?

I can't seem to get it!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Grarak:
Can you upload your on github and please with commit history. I will send you a pull request.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dynomist:
Sure... That is my intention.

But b4 that im gonna compile recompile the Bluetooth first

Hi Dynomist,

I couldn't find root in the rom, was that my issue?

I really would like to use your Omni, but either I'm silly or it is missing, I had to restore my previous backup ^^
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dynomist:
OmniROM didn't hv SuperSU in it... According to chainfire, the best way to install SuperSU is to install it in Play Store.

Anyway I will try include it in the next build...

You have to flash supersu in recovery

And try to replace media files from jf
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kipue:
oh! alrighty; thanlks to both of you for your answer :)

I'll wait for the next version to be ready to use it then

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] upenox:
I just upgraded to the iMate ROM from the original cingular rom on my 8125. I backed up everything using aWizard before flashing it. Is there a way I can import my contacts from backup or do I have to go through and re-add all of them?

Thanks!

--upen
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] oltp:
Don't know about aWizard, but did you sync your contacts with Outlook on your PC? Then you can sync them back on your PPC.

Next time try Sprite Backup, it allows you to backup/restore all aspects of your data separately.

Cheers, M
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] upenox:
No I didn't. I really don't use outlook. I was thinking that maybe they were somewhere in the backup data pulled from aWizard.

Thanks for the info though! :)

--upen
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] oltp:
The contacts database must be in there, but I don't know how to get it out.

Consider doing a hard-reset, after the restored the backup to clean your device again.

So restore the backup, save the contacts with sprite or outlook sync. Then hard-reset to get rid of unwanted old rom items. Restore contacts with sprite or outlook sync.

Hope it helps, M
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] hanmin:
aWizard does not backup user data in the RAM. It only backup your ROM. You won't get any luck from getting your contacts back from the aWizard backup.
[Android Software Development] bardell3600:
I am posting here asking for help, assistance, coaching.

It seems to me that I have all the pieces to properly modify the Sero 7 Pro ROM to accept ad hoc Wi-Fi connections. I've spent several days trying to find a simple step-by-step guide for applying github patches to existing kernels and flashable ROM. I have come to believe that no such simple guide/aid exists because the process itself appears to be complex.

The Nexus 7 CyanogenMod has been successfully modified for ad hoc Wi-Fi. My research indicates that the Sero 7 and the Nexus 7 are similar enough that the same patches should be able to be applied to the Sero 7 ROM. The Nexus 7 and Sero 7 both:

Use Android Jelly Bean 4.2.X

Have the same processor, 1.3GHz NVIDIA Tegra 3

Use the same Wi-Fi Chip, Broadcom BCM4330

Kernels use the same Driver, Broadcom bcmdhd Version 5.90.195.104

What I have is the kernel source

http://hisense-usa.com/support/firmware/Sero%207%20Pro_kernel_opensource_us.tar.gz

The full Stock ROM, latest version

https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=F7DECBA5BB726100%21108

Patches applied to Nexus 7 CyanogenMod ROM with detailed discussion

http://www.thinktube.com/android-tech/46-android-wifi-ibss

Briefly summarizing the discussion and code contained in the above Thinktube webpage:

The Kernel is patched making changes to the bcmdhd Wi-Fi driver

The ROM is patched making changes

to the wpa_supplicant

a few additions to the Android framework and

some changes to the Settings App

So in concept it seems pretty straightforward. Where I am struggling is the whole github process of applying the patch to the Kernel source. Then compiling the modified Kernel source. And applying the remaining patches to the ROM with the newly modified Kernel.

I need someone willing to work with me on the github piece. Or alternately coach me through that process.
[Android Software Development] bardell3600:
So the resounding lack of response tells me either I've posted on the wrong forum or it is indeed as complex and cumbersome as I suspected.

But I may have figured out how to accomplish it myself. I have NOT figured out the github process. But I do know a little Linux and do run a virtual Ubuntu machine.

So I :

1.	manually modified the Broadcom bcmdhd in the kernel source line by line.

2.	swapped the wpa_supplicant file in the Sero7 stock ROM with the one from the Nexus 7 CyanogenMod ROM.

3.	extracted the needed sero7_defconfig and initramfs.cpio.gz files

4.	compiled the modified kernel source code and created a new boot.img

5.	inserted the new boot.img to complete the modification of the Stock ROM

And if this all works, I’ll post my fix in a new thread, perhaps “Sero 7 Pro hoc Wi-Fi Fix”
[Android Software Development] OldBob65+:
wpa_supplicant

Oh boy! I've been waiting to hear if someone got the ad-hoc going on the Sero 7 Pro. I've posted asking for help doing this too but never seemed to get a working answer. Did you get yours working and if so could you please post the wpa_supplicant file for the Sero? I would sure like to wifi tether to the Sero. It's the only device I have that doesn't see my phone's wifi.

Thanks a bunch!

This is MJ2 stock recovery. If you need it just flash with mobile odin or ABD :

ADB guide :

In our case, we need an image for the Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T. Telus, Rogers, Bell, and SaskTel phones are (almost*) the exact same phone as AT&T, if you have one of these devices, you will be installing the AT&T recovery.

Now, transfer the ".img" file you downloaded onto your device. I'd suggest somewhere with a nice short path, like "/sdcard/<file>.img" (you'll thank me later, especially if you're using terminal emulator on the device)

Now, let's back up your existing recovery. If things go wrong, you can use this backup to get back to where you started.

$ su
# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/recovery-backup.img

That should have created a "recovery-backup.img" on your phone's internal storage.

Here's the part you've been waiting for: Flashing the new image, which installs it as your recovery system. You do this from either an ADB shell or inside Terminal Emulator.

$ su
# dd if=/sdcard/<file>.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

You're done. Reboot into your new recovery by holding VolUp and Home while you power on your device.

Remember to enable USB Debugging in Developer options if you are using ADB method.

I own a behringer C1 studio condenser, I also own a Phantom power supply.

I have a XLR female that plugs into the Microphone with a male ending that goes into the phantom power supply.

I also have a Female XLR to a quarter jack cable, the Female XLR goes into the other end of the phantom power supply and the quarter jack I put a 3.5 mm jack adapter on the end to plug into my computer.

It picks up the mic and the sound.BUT the playback of the recorded sound is very quiet and makes my voice sound high pitched.

If someone would PLEASE help me rectify this, I would be very very grateful!

If you own a class 10 SanDisk Ultra micro SD card for your note 3 then BEWARE!! I don't know what causes it but it will cause a bootloop for some reason... :(

If that happens, take battery out, take SD card out, boot up phone, go into settings>wifi>Hit menu button and choose "Advanced> and uncheck "always allow scanning". Power off phone, put SD card back in and boot up. No more bootloops! I heard this happens to 32gb models aswell.

Some people did factory resets and it still kept happening, so just uncheck always allow scanning.

Even if you own the card and never got a bootloop, just uncheck it just to be sure, it's not really important, and you won't have to worry about any bootloops. And yes, this happened to me while i was Stock rom and kernel unrooted, you never know.

Hope i helped!! Remember UNCHECK ALWAYS ALLOW SCANNING!!! IT'S BAD FOR NOTE 3'S WITH SD CARDS!! :D

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] C00lBeanz:
I don't know, but my old Note 2 fried my 16gb SD card. Samsung phones have a reputation for frying/corrupting perfectly good SD cards after long periods of use, i don't know about the new Note 3 though, probably.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ekerbuddyeker:
I reformatted my to fat. No issues.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Blairware:
What???

Why on earth would scanning Wifi Access Points cause a SD card to cause a Bootloop? I think you are confusing scanning the extrenal SDCARD with Scanning WiFi Access points. While there IS the possible chance that this somehow helps a reboot issue, the two items have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with one another. Somewhere along the line someone confused MEDIA SCANNING (a fact of life with android and external SD Cards) and Wifi SSID Scanning, and true to internet style this piece of misinformation is EVERYWHERE.. I just found the SAME, WRONG information on someones Blog: http://www.etradesupply.com/blog/solve-samsung-galaxy-note-3-problems/ and guess what? HE states he got the info from... XDA... Its not in any way accurate, .. Please don't post information like this, because you saw it somewhere else... Google just published a report that shows that some 70-80% of all internet content is copied from somewhere else.

By the way, I have been running a 64 Mb. Class 10 SanDisk Ultra micro SD from release day for the N900A with zero issues, for what it's worth. I am well aware of the issues people have had with SD cards. I am simply letting people know that there is no logical reason the WiFi scanning would have any effect on the issue, when it's media scanning that people are trying to prevent.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] C00lBeanz:
Wow, lucky guy!!!! You got it working on the first day :D Sorry if you think it doesn't work or doesn't make any sense, or whatever, but it worked for me, and for my cousin on the Canadian Rogers Note 3 SM-N900W8, and probably a lot of other people too, so i'm just putting this thread out just in case someone (Like me) got a bootloop right after they put their SD card in, and trust me, you are not happy to get a bootloop the first or second day you get your phone.It is NOT pretty, well actually, the Note 3 is pretty pretty, but the bootloops are NOT pretty.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Solarenemy68:
It seems the common thing here is that all cards are class 10. Is it possible that a class 10 card is too fast? I know I never paid attention to class and most of my cards with no issues have always been class 4 cards at 8 or 4 GB.

It to could be possible that this phones hardware can't address 64GB correctly. I don't recall seeing documentation that said it supported above 32GB.

I validated the workaround several times. It has been copied or quoted at least two times and noted by numerous people that it actually works.

It may be that particular sd cards in combination with memory initialisation and particular OS components being loaded and/or initialized upon boot causes the problem.

Not all defects in software and/our hardware are 100% repeatable across all devices with the same basic configuration.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] nukesnooper:
????

This is the first I've heard about any SD issues with Samsung phones. I had (sill have) a SanDisk 32GB class 10 that I used in my Motorola Atrix HD until last August when I got my S4. I used it in the S4 for about a month with no issues. I decided to upgrade to a Samsung 64GB MicroSD XC Pro Class 10 UHS-1 and have been using it ever since. Again, no issues. Heck of a lot faster, though! I upgraded to a Note 3 about a month ago and bought another one for it. Ditto. No problems with it either. I just keep the S4 for a throw-down phone and have it loaded with games for my kids.

Best practice for ANY memory device: Back it up and back it up regularly! Granted; little changes on my phone SD card with the exception of photos I've taken. But; I still back up my SD card - as well as the phone innards several times a week, and any time I make any significant changes or additions. We all know Kies blows. So do it the old fashioned way.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dincdoes.me:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] C00lBeanz:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Stuart R:
My experience is that once these cards get pretty full with media files, the bootloop happens (only once per boot). Formatting the card on the phone doesn't help and neither does disabling wifi scanning. Strangely though, enabling airplane mode before booting prevents the bootloop.
