Did you bootloade is blocked or not? If it's unblocked, relock it with flashtool... maybe it will fix your issue (a backup before is always a good idea ....).

I'm waiting to OTA update because I would be sure the SU in system will work again after update ....

i have this issue too. I suspect exposed framework or Tablet UI from 4.1.2 mod.

I dont think so, because I have deactivated the xposed framework and I do not have mod for tablet UI......running on 4.2.2 too...any other ideas?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdabbeb:
The denoise options you saw are just the standard android camera api...in fact, if you notice they already show as off! Which we know isn't the case :) LG ended up using their own (licensed) algo.

I tried to get the bayer modes to work a while back myself and met with no luck. I think the problem lies in the supplied driver. There are certainly keys for those modes, but not full driver support.

That said, I hope you succeed!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solfx:
Thanks for your reply!

Regarding denoise - will it be different if I'll flash CyanogenMod? (Since it rewrites the kernel)

Maybe the filter strength is somewhere in the system files? So setting the filter strength to zero with a rooted phone?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdabbeb:
If you're using the stock android/google camera that's included with CM, then it should be. I've reduced the denoising in normal photo mode on a mod to the stock camera/rom, but it didn't give me much granularity in controlling it, unfortunately. It would be nice if it had an integer value to pass to it, but it doesn't appear to.

WIth SlimKat, i was able to get a raw image, using YUV422SP.. The problem is that there isn't any YUV 4:2:2 Semi-Planar viewer or converter!!!

The raw image is 26MB vs 3,64MB the JPEG

With IrfanView, you can view the RAW, but since the app doesn't support 4:2:2 Semi-Planar import, the best image you can get is a grey scale BMP..
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defcomg:
if you still need the Bayer data I managed to get all the supported raw sensor data

use this its setup for raw capture

www.mediafire.com/?4d723slsdlg3d1y

dissemble the apk

search for picture-format string open the one from the e.smali file

it will be in a method called PR

change locals to 4

then copy add const string v3 with desired picture format then replace v2 with v3 in the set invocation of Camera$Parameter. You need to change to change two more values and you're good to go next search for ".raw" you will find two one in addImage the Other in UpdateImage Method it will be in a.2.smali

change the const-string above equalsIgnoreCase to match the desired picture format in both addImage /updateImage methods Happy Snapping Tested on Zte Nubia Z5Sn with same sensor as G2

Sucks man I know .. Bigfau was around but I think he bricked his and haven't seen him around anymore. Sell yours and grab a i9205 bro

*MEGA 4.4.2*GS2 4.4.2*2SHAYNEZ*
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I have to say I agree with shayne....The offset for lte is development which for the i527 will never go anywhere will Knox and all the att bootloader crap...If you can live without lte the i9205 is much faster and smoother than the att megas I've played with and you'll have at least ssome dev support.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shayneflashindaily:
Indeed its smooth... But I think captemo your on contract aren't you ? I bought mine outright

i am on conbtract and i am not.

i have 4 phones on my acct with AT&T, obviously 1 was for upgrade. i am on the Next program with this one and my 14 day trial ends today.

i have unlimited data grandfathered and wouldnt want to lose that.

and others are right too, in the sense that any other phone is going to be smaller. how can i go back? even my Note seems like a Pez dispenser compared to this thing.

i like it, i just want to do stuff with it.............you know
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shayneflashindaily:
Totally understand ...in time

*MEGA 4.4.2*GS2 4.4.2*2SHAYNEZ*
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I'm in the same boat with grandfathered unlimited data plan...honestly the mega is sick...and if you root your i527 and put setcpu on it you'll see a massive improvement. I think shayne is testing out the settings I run mine on with stock kernel. Just keep it and see how it goes. I'm a huge tinkerer and dev, working in a custom kernel for the mega and still run rooted stock that I themed with xposed and wanam, combined with max clock it's as near as a custom rom as you'd want, with all the stability and speed of a rom. If you just download xposed and wanam the amount of customizations are literally endless.

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shayneflashindaily:
Also tinted status bar module is dope ...any color you want upon opening any app you want ...but I won't post 100 pics lol

*MEGA 4.4.2*GS2 4.4.2*2SHAYNEZ*
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] captemo:
Are you running the ATT version also?

I have often wondered in my 100's of flashes I have done, is it the custom rom that is necessary, or can I get all tge tweaks I really need just by using the Xposed Module.

I do like the phone alot, but I have held off on the root until I decided to keep and I feel I have read enough about it. As Shayne knows, I can really EFF things up if I want too.

In the past with Xposed, I have had reasonable success in modding, of course it could have been me or conflicting options on phone. Does it seem to be fully functional with rooted Mega?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shayneflashindaily:
I've thought about selling my i9205 to get something newer but its grown on me. But 400 dollars sounds nice too ha. Xposed will hold you off for a bit capt

*MEGA 4.4.2*GS2 4.4.2*2SHAYNEZ*
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Not with the mega...i have a note 3 n900a att...at least for me, I still try rom, and help some of my friends develop them but I pretty much stopped doing full devs of roms since all the tweaks you'd want can be done to stock with xposed and now wanam, plus stock rom stability. I really only build kernels and flash kernels and theme or tweak my own stock builds. Always heavily themed, sometimes I do some xml or build prop alterations...but since 4.2 I've run pretty much stock with tweaks as I've found it generally faster, smoother and more stable...Especially with certain kernels. And I have to say for a stock kernel the mega has a great one, and is really streamlined and efficient in the source code.

stick with your megas fellas trust me I have several devices l around and I always go back to my mega

(Even changed my xda handle lol)

Mega

---------- Post added at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 PM ----------

And just for the sake of clarity...everything I do, or other devs do either can be done, or is actually done thru xposed and the subsequent modules...so yes you can do everything I woukd do building you a rom in xposed, minus say deodexing or other tweak, which these days with the new krait chips is really unnecessary tbh. The chips are so powerful and efficient in the mega and the quad version of it in the note 3 don't need or show really any noticeable gains by many of the old tricks anymore. So my 2 cents on it...keep the mega, it's the best all round device I own, and by far my favorite. Run xposed, and wanam and I can almost guarantee you won't be missing a single thing.

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bhaskell:
I haven't used Xposed, but I'm pretty darn happy with the Mega stock rom. I'm running 4.4 on my captivate and my asus tf300t. The 4.4 is nice and smooth and small! I'm sure we will see a 4.4 update eventually for the mega. Google's ART feature is still very experimental, once they get that matured and implemented in their 4.4 builds, I'm sure even light weight devices will see the performance benefits.

Having root and being able to remove bloat was a big bonus for me. If I like themed roms, I would most certainly play with Xposed. The battery life on this Mega is something wonderful! Worth keeping the phone just for that reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dparrothead1:
Actually, after rooting and removing ATT and Samsung bloat, I am pretty happy with stock. I alternate between Nova and everything.me launchers.

Believe me, I have been a flashing addict. I have tried every rom available for my 3yo Nook Color, Captivate, Infuse, Note 1 and Nexus 7. And I have tested roms for 4 different Devs.

I find it's refreshing for everything on my phone to work without having to use a third party app (although it is boring)!!! I'm keeping my Mega, but I will probably never use ATT again, unless all the other carriers start locking their phones also.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] torreon901:
Im in the same page here.. if rooting works for me is more than enough. I have removed all the "junk" apps and im happy with the stability of the mega and software. Yes is nice to use different roms and have options but at the end of the road as long as there are ways to "personalization" of the mega software im happy. I might miss the kernel abilities.. specially overclocking...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] captemo:
I appreciate the feedback folks and I am in. Stability is the key and I have experience with multiple device. Trusted advice is a valuable thing to and I beleive that is what I am getting here.

I now only need to find the trusted files and instructions on rooting this thing. I think I found them last night, around p40 in the "bounty for root" thread. However, I have always been hesitant about going into build prop and making changes. So I guess I need to read more.

Thanks again folks, ill be around.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] azpatterson3:
With root, exposed, wanam, and nova launcher, I am happier with this phone then I ever was with my note1 or 2. I will still push for a way to flash but funny thing is, I probably would stick with the setup I have now. I guess it's a matter of knowing I could flash if I wanted but No, I don't think I need it or would even use it. What's wrong with me, wanting something, I don't think I will ever use? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dparrothead1:
Kingoapp.com is the easiest method I have used....ever....bar none!!!!

I may have told you this before, but I went to manage apps and looked at every app....if it gives you the option to "turn off", then you should be able to delete without any problems. I've never had the balls to delete any thing else....:D

az probably has a complete list of what can be deleted.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Christogq:
This. Once we got root and I used Xposed I'm happy as hell. I just want to be able to flash **** that I'm never gonna use.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:

We should make a comprehensive list of **** that we have turned off

im looking at ZTE Nubia Z5S (NX503A) got some nice specs for 400$ price tag.

5.0 inches, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 Quad-core 2.3 GHz Krait 400, 2GB ram, 16GB, 13MP camera, andriod 4.2.2 etc..

i have never used android phone before so im hoping u guys can help me. i did some googling and didnt find any roms or any other modifications usually go with a andriod device.

i would like to know if this is a worth buying since this phone only available in china.
[General Questions and Answers] sweetsour:
Is this phone sold in country, or are you going to import it from china? Because if not, I would not recommend you a chinese phone. If it is defective you'll have a hard time returning it (if you can at all) etc.

Btw, if you come from iPhone, I strongly recommend you Google-listed devices (assume you live in the US, it would be HTC One, Nexus 5, SGS4) that come with the stock Android UI. They are updated as soon Google pushes out updates, which is closer what you experience on the iPhone.

Since chinese phones except for Huawei ones are rarely supported in XDA (they lack documentation, source etc) I would not recommend you a chinese phone if you want to try out new ROMs.

If you are ready to take the risks there you go. But as a first time Android user, no way I would go with that phone.

My recommendation for you is the Nexus 5. Hope this helps.

i have to import from china. im a symbian user :P im sorry i forgot to mentioned where i live. im from sri lanka and no play store available. no way to get a nexus 5. even if somehow managed get my hands on a nexus 5 it would costs me around 550-600$.
[General Questions and Answers] sweetsour:
If it has to be a chinese phone then I suggest you the Xiaomi Mi3. Great User Interface (MIUI), great update support and best hardware for little money. Xiaomi is also highley popular, it is being regarded like Apple in china.
[General Questions and Answers] nikosblade:
Go straight for Nubia, it has the best specs out there and far away the best price. I just order it btw.
[General Questions and Answers] canizares:
Good question, in deed I just got a Nubia z5s 3 weeks ago.

(I used to be a Moto supporter, but got disappointed by Moto's sales policy - however, CDMA users can hardly have so many choices as others. forget HTC, bad quality.)

Somebody mentioned Xiaomi, I don't think it's a good option. Nubia's hardware spec is almost the same as Xiaomi, but Xiaomi's shipment and sales policy will drive you crazy. You have to attend to a luck draw first, then could have a chance to buy one!

Regarding the experience, herein I only talk about my experience.

1. BATTERY:

From 7am to 10pm, medium use, about 75% is consumed.

2. DISPLAY:

Much better than MOTO X :laugh: , 1080p. Also, the color is not so cold as Samsung.

3. VOICE&MESSAGE:

Fairly clear, however the location of Mic is just under USB port. sometimes your finger could swipe it when picking up.

As CM user, very delighted to see vibrate setup in "settings", SMS also designed with popup

4. CAMERA

I didn't test too much. However, the respond speed is satisfying.

5. SOFTWARE

a. I have to acknowledge that the UI design is lower than my expectation, especially the icons. Styles in default apps and system UI are not actually unique. But most Androider will change the launcher at soonest, am I right? (ps. I really hate Samsung's UI and the screen density!)

b. Furthermore, the system compatibility...there's no surprise, also no fetal bugs.

c. Seemed Nubia team learnt a lot from CM team. They just released source CODE on their website.

d. It can be ROOTED easily.

e. Some local team has ported CWM RECOVERY on it. Nice job!

f. It's said MIUI by local team is on the way. Also, some guy is working on its AOSP now.

6. AUDIO

Sorry but I never play songs via cell phone. Somebody has idea?

7. DESIGNING

I spent almost one week to get familiar with the weight - it's too light:eek:

8. NETWORK

GSM/TD/CDMA, not sure if it can be used in Verizon network?

In conclusion, it didn't disappoint me. I'd be delighted to see more improvements or 3rd party's works on ROMs in near future.

[General Questions and Answers] mirceat:
I'm assuming your phone still has the stock recovery.

First step would be to flash a custom recovery allowing you to mount the SDCard through USB, then copy an appropriate ROM on it and flash it from recovery.

Look for instance to this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50965141&postcount=138 and notice there is a mirror for needed stuff on a Google drive mirror http://goo.gl/PjAtxM

1 Download and install on a PC the ADB driver for Nubia Z5S

2 Download and run MIUI English recovery on your PC with the device connected to it - enter 1 when prompted, then Enter

3 Reboot into recovery - run the above script and enter 2

4 In recovery mode go to advanced/mount USB storage

5 Copy your ROM to SDCard

6 Flash the ROM from recovery

This is the short story, better double check when in doubt.

There is a modded rooted ROM v1.30 on the above Google drive mirror, in case you don't have any handy.

Later edit - this will work only if the phone has USB debugging enabled.

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ----------

This means to enter into qhsusb_bulk mode.

Phone must be powered off, USB debugging off.

See details here http://bbs.nubia.cn/thread-130426-1-1.html, read using Google translate, when needed.

When you really still have stock recovery, copy to your device and flash the stock ROM from www.nubia.cn/article/57.html#con, then try to flash the custom recovery from above.
