CM11 is trucking along with nightlys. I know I am having a blast with it so I thought I would share some pics of my setup. Nothing fancy just an oppertunity to show everyone how its looking and encourage others to look into trying it out.
[Ouya General] teros:
Am hoping now we have CM11 the custom Rom's will start to pickup i.e. Openelec etc.
[Ouya General] KJRob:
Openelec

AFAIK Openelec will not run on any Android device. IMO CM11 is the Premier ROM for all anyway. PAC ROMs are pretty awesome too. Since Ouya is shying away from hardware, and focusing on the Ouya OS, IDK if we will see much more Dev work.

Info on switching focus to OS:

Was this just a regular flash? I am rooted and have CWM.
[Ouya General] teros:
Hopefully a linux rom then...Android is ok just it's not really that good for media centre use as an OS....Plus want something i can easily put transmission, sickbeard onto and as it stands can't really do it that easily.
[Ouya General] KJRob:
Flashing

You need to flash the newest CWM recovery, Ouya bootmenu, CM11 and Gapps. Its really pretty simple. Instructions and links in the CM11 thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2692843.
[Ouya General] KJRob:
Media Center

XBMC works very well as a Media Center. We have cut the cord and use our antenna (for local news) and XBMC for all of our TV shows and movies. Up until I got the Ouya we used a PC with XBMC.
[Ouya General] Alexsandra:
Can Ouya dual boot stock rom and cm11?
[Ouya General] Capt.Obvious:
Install Ouya Anywhere in CM11

No need to dual boot. Just install the 4 apks for Ouya Anywhere after you get CM11 up and running. Got the best of both worlds on mine, and it runs smoother then before.

just what i was looking for

So this phone, HTC one m8 sprint , is pretty straight forward as far as flashing as its HTC brothers and sisters??? Will one need a dummy mini, micro or nano sim in order to make the data default to Nv only or will the lack of the sim card cause the default anyway?

Is there any way to restore root on ATT I747 after 4.3 stock restore without using odin. Maybe a flashible zip through stock recovery. my phones port usb port is screwed all it will do is charge.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
The easiest way to root the i747 after the 4.3 update is to flash TWRP and then install the Samsung de-knoxifier and SuperSU zips via custom recovery and, of course, the known way to flash TWRP is via Odin. However, perhaps you could try using Mobile Odin (pro version) which is the on-device flasher of choice. If this works, you would have added something to the body of knowledge for others who may have the same problem. See instructions for Mobile Odin below ...

I really hope they have a t-Mobile variant right off the bat!

I hope it has more power and a lot more memory. 1.5gb memory blows!

Same size is fine. Maybe a lil less bezel and better back cover.

A handful more features would be nice too.

End of year though :(

Kit Kat should help with speed boost until then. Hurry MetroPCS!

What would really be nice is if Samsung would stop giving us here in the U.S. the crap processors in the Galaxy S, Note and Mega series phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] hristopelov:
when you look at the frame of the current 6.3 Mega you see theres a lit of bezel..

Im hoping on 6.5"-6.6" 1080p screen on the same frame with hopefully 3GB of RAM...

otherwise they say 6 core Exynos processor in those rummors, i dont think it mayters that much at this point.. im doing absolutely fine with the dual core on the current model..

Getting 7+hrs and a whole day of standby on mine, so if they throw in 200-300 extra mAh on top of the battery would ve awesome... if they round it up to 4,000mAh even better...

Nothing more to ask than that... and yes, if possibly availiable in T-Mobile directly... that be great, need those updates, radio and kernel updates make phone signal download speeds and lag improvements most of the time.. forget about the OS.. as long is 4.4 doesnt matter.

And mybe.. just mybe a Play Store Edition? woud grab one..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
I like the current size of the phone. I wouldn't mind an increase in screen size but if they keep the phone same size or keep same screen size and make phone lil smaller. Either or for me is great.

Memory kills this thing. Minimum 2 - 2.5gb. 3gb would be great and make it into a multi task monster.

1080p would be awesome too.

A dual core is ok but needs to be much stronger than what is one now. Especially if higher reso.

I need lte so had to be Qualcomm chip.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] latinohot:
Definitely more ram, more processor, and 6.7 display size or less bezels, but I'm sure I'll be buying the next Mega.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Speaker placement! Ugh, how I hate it. I like the speaker placement on the nOte 3.

I am not impressed with the voice recognition on this device either. I will play around with it to see which is better... I am using swype and installed an xposed app to force google voice recognition. Hope it works
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Highly disappointed if this is it...

1.5gb?!

Same camera?

Less storage?!

Count me out.

That One Plus One phone is looking a lot better now, if it's durable.

Depending on what the Note 4 brings.

Maybe I'll just stock with this Mega.

Samsung, you suck!!! :'(

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Beurtmans:
1.5 gb is too small camera is ok but storage is also too small.

If i have an update for an app it is always complainig it has nog space anymore that sucks big time.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
I hope this is just something for overseas. From the first links it seemed as if it was a decent upgrade from the current Mega. The current MEga has 1.5Gb of memory. With the MegaFire Rom 1.5 is very useable. However, with all the bloat from samsung and carriers makes it unusable. At the very least have 2GB

Camera is currently the same. It is not great to begin with and not even some sort of upgrade!??!?!? Need a bump in quality.

Storage is currently at 16GB. Why do I want less?!?!?!?

I'd rather they stay at 6.3 and upgrade everything else if that is the case. I can accept a larger screen with less bezel but not inferior components.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Frezi Evan:
Ok fine. If it is updated then will it's increased storage ?

OMFG Finally! They listened! I'm so in if it's 7in!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] aniym:
I'm happy with the specs on the Mega 6.3, but the Mega 2 doesn't look appealing at all:

- 720P Display on a 7 inch screen? 720P on 6.3 was OK, but on a 7 inch screen it will be like using the 2010 Galaxy Tab. Unacceptable.

- Same camera as before

- likely same RAM as before too.

Even the Huawei Mediapad X1 has a 1920x1200 display on its 7 inch panel (yes, it's a phone).

Plus, here in North America we got the Mega i527 model which can't be rooted. The same will probably be true of its successor.

Even though I like the Mega 6.3, my next phone will probably be the HTC M8 or OnePlusOne.

Looks like something similar to Mega 2 is already released. Look at this pic. It says that new phone will have 7in display, 1280 x 720 (210 ppi) and 1,2 GHz Snapdragon 400 Cortex-A7. It's Samsung Galaxy W. Is that new Mega 2???
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
It's much lower end. Not real mega 2. you even have to put the Samsung sticker on yourself lol
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] aniym:
When I say "root" I mean the whole shebang, like bootloader unlock, CWMR and custom ROMs. I have looked through the forums, and I have not found a clear-cut tutorial for achieving this on the Mega I-527. If you know of one, please let me know. Thanks.

Still it has 'only' 6" screen ;). I could be interested in phablets with screens bigger than Mega 6.3.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jsimonson0:
A 7" phone is too big; having carried 2 of them, I'm in love once again with the Mega. 7" phones won't fit in your front pocket, whereas the Mega will (just barely) and a 6" phone fit perfectly into a man's dress pants front pocket.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vipfreak:

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] captemo:
Your all just doing everything you can to get 7 inches in your pants.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
rofl

7 is a tad "hard", no pun intended, to design to fit on pocket. perhaps a slightly bigger screen with less bezels is ok but no one has that yet. Samsung is losing ground in various areas and I think it is their own fault to a degree.

i need 6" + and less bezels with decent specs. Without the megafire rom this phone SUCKS.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
Yes, everyone has his right... who likes big screens opt for 7", who likes to fit phone in pants pocket opt for 6". As for me the best solution will be something about 6,5" with thin bezel. Besides, I am wearing wests with bigger pockets... ;)

Slightly better than before. However, still smaller than the current 6.3. Why?! At under 6" the Note 3 and 4 are looking better. Unless the Note 4 is super pricey or the Mega 2 is super cheap or The Motorola Shamu sucks, this phone is looking bleh.

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sams...viewed-ahead-of-official-announcement_id59890

Although Samsung has yet to officially announce the Galaxy Mega 2, it looks like some retailers have already started selling the device in Malaysia and Thailand.

Size-wise, the new handset sits between the two older models, sporting a 6-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixels.

Running Android 4.4.4 KitKat, the Mega 2 offers mid-range features, including LTE, a quad-core Exynos 4415 processor clocked at 1.4 GHz, 1.5 GB of RAM, expandable internal memory, and a 2800 mAh removable battery. It appears that the Mega 2 variant that’s been previewed in Thailand features an 8 MP rear camera, though the Chinese version of the handset may come with a 13 MP shooter. In any case, the camera seems to produce pretty good photos

HIGHLY DISAPPOINTING. I hope they have an American model.

No, it's not Mega2, it's 7" Samsung tablet with phone possibility. Looks just as bigger Mega, but it's tablet anyway...

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
Yea, I was looking at it with interest too, but in fact diferrence to our Megas is practically only in screen size... tht's not enaugh to change...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
if the camera is better and the CPU is somewhat better it might be worth a shot. But I don't see any of those being substantially better except maybe the CPU. I still cannot believe they will not put more memory on this phone. It really is a shame.

I would have to see how big it is. They would really have to shrink the bezels because that is a lot bigger than this phone

POS

Why would you want another POS. I have the sgh 819 and it sucks. No roms . No cyanogenmod. Nobody is developing anything for it. I'm looking for a note3 .
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] :
I have to say, j just sold my nexus 5 for the i9205... Running slimkat on it, always had slimkat on my n5. I don't see much noticeable difference in speed at all.

Although we are lucky on this device to have one particular dev who is so kind as to build many different ROMs for us.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
I do not think that this new phone is worth it. This seems like one of the worst phones Samsung has made in some time.

The metro pcs version that is out now does run CyanogenMod. I used it for some time while I was waiting for KitKat. We do have a developer that is working on a ROM for the metro pcs version of Kit Kat. There is still life for the current mega.

I would not suggest the Mega 2 to anybody. If you want a larger screen phone they are not many options. Sad, but there is nothing on the horizon at least for the next 3 months or so. sure, there are a few 6 inch phones but a few people agree that they would have liked a smaller phone with the same size screen or larger screen with same size phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] :
I do agree that the mega 2 is a minimal upgrade from the 1
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] :
Not happy with hardware on the new mega keeping the old one "6.3" I hope theh come out with another the same size or bigger ? just wish it was 64 bit and up to date touchwiz
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] cproaudio:
I'm interested in the Mega 2. There are 3 versions that fits my need but I can't decide which one to get.

1, AT&T SM-G750A

Pro

Likely to have forum support due to popularity from US market

excellent US Warranty

Fast LTE internet connection

Cheap initial purchase due to new line

Good resale value due to being a US phone

Fast resellability due to being a US phone

Cons

Slower Exynos 1.5ghz quad core processor

8MP rear camera, 2.1MP front camera

Expensive, limited data monthly service

higher service cost in the long run

Carrier bloatware

No WiFi Tether

Locked bootloader

2, International SM-G750F

Pro

Likely to have forum support due to popularity from European market

Cheap $15/mo unlimited 3G internet

No throttled data speed over 5GB

lower service cost in the long run

Acceptable internet connection

No carrier bloatware

WiFi Tether

Probably have unlocked bootloader

Cons

Slower Exynos 1.5ghz quad core processor

High initial retail cost

8MP rear camera, 2.1MP front camera

No/poor US warranty

poor resale value due to non US phone

Slow resellability due to being a foreign phone

3, Dual SIM SM-G7508Q

Pro

Faster Qualcomm MSM8916 Snapdragon 410 (SM-G7508) 1.2ghz quad core processor

Cheap $15/mo unlimited 3G internet

No throttled data speed over 5GB

lower service cost in the long run

Acceptable internet connection

13MP rear camera, 5MP front camera

Dual SIM support

No carrier bloatware

WiFi Tether

Probably have unlocked bootloader

Cons

High initial retail cost

Unlikely to have forum support due to Chinese only market

No/poor US warranty

poor resale value due to non US phone

Slow resellability due to being a foreign phone

My number 1 priority is overall service cost in the long run. I like the idea of dual SIM and better cameras front and back but I also want forum support and faster processor. I just don't know which one to get. I know AT&T's Mega 2 is probably out of the question. I'm not paying AT&T $30 a month for only 3GB.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
this has to be the worst upgrade for a phone ever. I'm not even kidding.

your best bet might be to get a metro pcs version and unlock it. You could probably get a great condition very cheap one for about $300. It might even cost you $300 total with an unlock. There is no reason to spend $500 on the new mega, Or whatever the price is.

I would not recommend anything AT&T because they lock their bootloader. It makes it very hard to root. If you are on XDA I have to believe you like to play around with your phone. If you don't, then the AT&T might not be too bad because I think they are going to be sold very cheap.

I would say get the older mega or consider the new Nexus 6. It is smaller but it is a powerful phone which should get a lot of support from the forums.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] cproaudio:
One of the reason I want the Mega2 instead of the the original Mega 6.3 is the new version offers resizable screen. The one handed operation on the Mega6.3 is a freaking joke. One handed dialer and keyboard are useless. If Mega6.3 has the same one handed operation like the mega2, Note 3, Note 4 and the S5, then I'll buy the Mega 6.3.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
I am not sure on that... It may have it. I never tried to look for it haha I will check.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] carhigh:
It has it. That was the one thing I was showing the ATT guy when I was looking at it. He didn't know his note 3 did it also
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] cproaudio:
So you're saying that the MetroPCS's Mega has resizable screen like the Note 3 and Note 4 and Mega2? All the videos I've seen on Youtube only shows one handed on dialer and keyboard.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] HAvoktek:

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] cproaudio:
I just received the white SM-G7508Q dual SIM Mega 2. I can confirm that it has 2GB of RAM, 13MP rear camera, 5MP front camera, no HDR, no slow motion, no S View, 8GB storage. I've tried to find a 16GB version with no success. I gave up and got the 8GB version instead. I don't recall the AT&T's mega 2's phone tabs are swipe-able but this one does. I'm using the $15 unlimited data for non smartphone. I really hope the devs will start supporting this device.

Hello

How could you have on Samsung Mega 2 rear camera 13MP? :confused: You've got me stumped on this one.

As far as I know seeing specs at gsmarena there's 8MP rear one.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] cproaudio:
The Mega 2s with 3 numeric codes have 1.5GB RAM, 8MP rear and 2.1MP front cameras (G750A, G750F, F750H). The mega 2s with 4 numeric codes have 2GB RAM, 13MP rear camera and 5MP front camera (7508Q and 7509W). 750H is 3G only. It has no LTE bands. 750F might work with AT&T's 4G LTE network as it has the 1900LTE B2 band. There's 1900LTE B2 signal in my area. All of them will work on AT&T's HSPA network. I'm still rocking on unlimited data plan. AT&T already sent several emails about automatically changing my data plan but so far it hasn't yet. Maybe they will on my next billing cycle.

I found an issue with my phone. It's not allowing me to modify the external SD card using 3rd party apps without root. I tried it with total commander and ES File Explorer. I have to use the Samsung file explorer app paste or move files around. If anyone can chime in on whether or not they can paste and move content on their microSD card using 3rd party apps such as ES file explorer on their AT&T Mega 2, please let me know. I think it might be the way the Chinese lock down electronics in their market. I recently got a Yoga 2 Pro. I researched ways to upgrade the internal SSD. I found out that Lenovo locked down the Yoga 2 Pro in the Chinese market so no hardware upgrades can be made while the global Yoga 2 Pro including the NA versions are not locked down.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
That blows. There is not a lot of movement with the new Mega. You may have to root the phone. IS there even a root for this variant???
