The Mega may or may not be getting KitKat but that list on Sammobile is certainly a joke.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] alexischino:
show the evidence of what you are saying is true. If you do not have a way to prove it. please, keep your opinion for yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] athani:
I can't prove a negative. However, if you assert a positive that the Sammobile list is genuine, please go ahead and prove it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] captemo:
I dont see i527 on there anywhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] alexischino:
Go and bark to sammobile, they are the ones who give the information, And in the other hand they are a better source of information than a cuple of guys sharing their guess ha'
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] athani:
Is that the best you can do? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] alexischino:
Do you think this is a better answer, (The Mega may or may not be getting KitKat but that list on Sammobile is certainly a joke.)

:cool: sorry but i don't have the time or the will to get this discussion any further. Keep guessing whatever you want :thumbup: but please keep it to yourself! ;) so the next time you you have a guess keep it that way :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] hristopelov:
oh well, i guess if it doesnt get updated, we just wait couple a months and buy the Mega 2, craigslist this one...

just hope it has 2GBs a RAM !
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] athani:
Yea, I guessed. Thanks for your "certified true" news about Sammobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
Calm down, young padawans... Mega may or may not get KK... And so we have no influence on it. As for me - I'm not eager to have KNOX in my Mega... KK or not KK..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Hdude123:
I'm pretty sure the Mega will get KitKit, otherwise why would Samsung have it on their update FAQ.

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/faq/FAQ00059206/82024/EFC-1G6FFEGSTA
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] athani:
Yes, that is some indication. But it comes with a caveat :

"Important! This list may be altered as updates are confirmed or released."
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] captemo:
Whats been getting me a little miffed, is ATT has already updated their site and been advertising that Mega is already running 4.4.......NOT. isnt that false advertising???

Cant they get in big trouble?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] athani:
Buy one and sue AT&T :)

KitKat update finally to Mega 6.3

Earlier today I got an update notification from Samsung and its size is about 350mb. Here is the screenshot of the same. However, I didn't updated them right now as I am not certain whether I can be re-rooted after updating it into KitKat. Any advice?!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] athani:
Wow! Have you checked if it is indeed the KitKat update? Please tell us your model no, carrier, etc.

About rerooting, maybe experts here can help you.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=29186

http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9200

Its still 4.2.2. Careful, it comes with knox.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] xda rocks:
Guess you are right. But is there any difference in its UI interface or any other applications? Wondering why would one require knox much more sooner than Kitkat itself? I would rather prefer the other way.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
No difference apart from knox afaik... That's how its been for the I9205.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
KNOX and KK are different things. KNOX is a matter of safety so Samsung can get more market in government and business areas. Adding KNOX change noting in UI or other means of using phone by mundane users :). But means very much for people who likes to change and mod its systems.Those two areas are quite exclusive. Producers and providers do not like users to meddle in system , so making it as difficult as possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] xda rocks:
Agreed!! But why would one buy this instead there are better options and configuration (Indeed, with a better price) out there in market.

Why would somebody be so concerned about KNOX when it is not in anyway going to make this a deal breaker for Mega with which it may increase the sales of this product to sky high.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] athani:
A 4.2.2 update TODAY :eek:

Not holding breath for KitKat.. :'(
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Whit3y:
Ummm i had 4.2.2 since the day i bought my phone from att
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] athani:
Mega has always had 4.2.2. The latest update just adds Knox (I think).
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dparrothead1:
The last update I got added the Gear Manager..... Any updates will break your root.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] athani:
Is it possible to reroot after updating?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dparrothead1:
Yes, I was able to regain root. But, who knows what will be in the next update. If and when a new update comes out, I plan on waiting a while before I update.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Carnage:
Hi mate,

After root,any problem with wanam exposed like lost root etc?..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
Lucky me I have replaced stock ROM for MegaFireV8X and have at once two benefits:

- actually use IMHO the best ROM for Mega based on stock firmware and

- have no problems with unnecessary upgrades which brings almost nothing new except KNOX...

To be honest I am not eager to change MFv8x for KK... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] captemo:
And what is your device model ???
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dparrothead1:
No problems whatsoever.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
As you can see from my sig - it is GT-I9205 . Unfortunately there is no MegaFire rom for I527... :(
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] captemo:
Thank you, if you look, your signature line was not on that last post.

You are a lucky one then. Hopefully in next couple weeks we have a recovery and we can get all the KK we want.

I am remaining optamistic

We shall see if Kit Kat arrives for me in about 5 days. Sending my Mega in on a warranty replacement. It legitimate. I have having sound issues and getting SD card missing and formatting messages. Card works fine in my Note and wifes S3. So they are sending me another. Asked what OS it would be running beings website states current OS is 4.4. The reply was," not sure but if is not KK, we will not have an issue updating it.

Beleive it when I see it, but maybe this will pave the way for others
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sashusmom:
Well they updated that it went from 4.3 to 4.4. You know capt I fought long and hard to get that 4.3 but it didn't exist. So they were false advertising even before they updated the site!!!!:silly:

i527 4.4.2 update

Samsung has already confirmed that the samsung galaxy mega will be receiving kitkat update they just finished final testing and are pushing the ota update starting next week if you have a at&t mega unlocked on another carrier you will need to find some one who has active at&t sim to get the update if you're rooted you will not get the update because of knox the only question is are they going to push 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 i know with 4.4.2 there's been a big battery bug issue so i presume there going to skip to 4.4.3 but you never know samsung forsure announced the mega will receive:good::good::good::good::good: kitkat!!!!

What about Mega 5.8 (GT-I9152) ?

Hi Guyz....

Any news about KitKat for Galaxy Mega 5.8 (GT-I9152) ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] VshnuP:
Hi....plz help

I have galaxy mega 5.8 (GT-I9152) with unrooted JB4.2.2 firmware I9152XXUANA1.

I want to root my phone.. From many forums I came to know that KK 4.4 have locked bootloaders... I have two doubts..

1) is there any difficulties in rooting after KK update (other than tripping knox)?

2) which will the best option? Root my phone now or wait till KK arrives and then root?

Waiting for ur reply..... :)

Send from my Galaxy Mega 5.8 (GT-I9152) using XDA mobile app
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bongski55:
I have a rooted 5.8(9152) with only 8GB internal memory. I am heavilly dependent on root to make folder mount work. This is to be able to use the SD card for my applications and data. If for some reason KitKat cannot be immediately rooted then Thanks but no thanks......I am happy with 4.2.2.......

[MENTION=5883251]VshnuP[/MENTION] it all depends on what you want to do with root. If like me having several apps dependent on root then it will be better to root it now. I used TWRP to root.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] deadpigeons:

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] hristopelov:
I remember when the pros said dont hope for KitKat (:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] athani:
Almost a month since Kitkat released for the device. But no sign of it in India...and perhaps several other regions. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Kangburra:
I installed the TPH for 9205 and it is working well. Of course I rooted it and deleted heaps of crap but I like the result.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] corrystile:
I am downloading the Albanian rom...TPH rom is only a beta, infact you don't have the boot logo "Galaxy Mega", and it has some bugs like while charging shows words in english even i put another language.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Kangburra:
This seems a good version to me, of course I am running in English anyway, just waiting to see if the battery usage settles down now. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] poch_m:
The battery life of my TPH kitkat room is pretty impressive, its 20-30% better than before. Its also very stable, It has never crashed.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Kangburra:
Battery is not as good as MH2 yet, but it is getting better :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] athani:
Hope..

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Kangburra:
They have the same changelist, I suggest you do a full wipe and try again.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] corrystile:
Every time that i installa rom i do a full wipe, but nothing, no "Galaxy Mega" boot logo, no download mode screen (if i press + the phone will boot in download mode, even if i don't have the download mode screen).
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Kangburra:
Mine has all of the above, so it is not the Rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] athani:
With each passing day, kitkat looks more and more doubtful for phones that have not received it yet. I seriously doubt the Indian version will get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dante-fu:
No kitkat on French (retail) version neither.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] athani:
Since Kitkat has already released in some regions, can I flash the official 4.4.2 ROM from one of the other regions to my Indian I9200?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] alexischino:
Yes you can i have the same model you have (GT-I9200) and i have flash difrents stock kk rom from other regions on my mega.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] athani:
Thanks for the reply. I'd appreciate pointers on where I can download the appropriate ROM and how I may flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] alexischino:
Sammobile firmwares here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

OR

Samsung updates here http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9200

You need to flash the firmware with Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] athani:
Which region ROM can I safely flash? Should I expect to lose any functionality from flashing a ROM not meant for my region, eg. FM radio? Any other downsides to flashing a ROM meant for another region?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Kangburra:
The region doesn't matter, it is like DVD regions. You can choose almost any ROM and choose almost any language on startup. Do a backup first just in case. :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BLuFeNiX:
Awesome work! Gonna try it out soon. Any chance this ROM will have ext4 sdcard support? I've been trying to make a mod of my own for it, but it's not going very well (I can get it to mount on boot, but not all apps behave well with it). If you're planning on doing it, I'll just wait. Let me know! And thanks again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BeansTown106:
Thanks Bud :D

has everything international version has plus a couple extra mods. only thing it doesnt have yet is glass theme but will get to that soon. i just wanted to get this out so people could test it etc. no sense in holding on to this gold all for myself lol :P

it has stock kernel so most sdcard formats are supported

haha i hear u doing last test flash now then the upload will begin shouldnt be long :cool::good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] em0ney14:
Best news I've had all day and I just got off work! !!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BLuFeNiX:
I'm not sure I understand. The stock kernel certainly has support for the ext4 filesystem, but stock vold will detect the card as unformatted and will not mount it. I tried making an init.d script to do the mounting, but certain apps don't play nicely with it (some apps can't see the sdcard, others can't read from it, or can write but can't read -- that was the weirdest one).

Edit: "can write but can't read" used to say the opposite.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fknfocused:
Awesome!!!! Now I can finally stay away from int base. You rock!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mike28:
Will the rom offer the stock look as an option?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] cjk2010:
Joking aside..... I'm running your base rom right now; can I dirty flash over it ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fknfocused:
Probably best not to, alliance rom has some extensive mods. I wouldnt want anything going wrong with a badass rom like this.

Sent from my Stanced Out S5
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BLuFeNiX:
It would probably work for the most part, but I would bet you're going to have a bad time with at least one thing not working if you try. Of course, it might just not boot at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tenxo:
Hey thanks again for the time and efforts.

Just my thoughts on Aroma. This ROM allows the user to uninstall the bloat in ROM Manager (or Titanium), while keeping a backup of those apps incase one finds they removed something they shouldn't have. This method is way more streamlined to me working in the Android environment vs. Recovery.

Aroma adds more size to the package and will essentially do the same thing albeit before the fact. This to me is more cumbersome if you forget to check something, then have to go back in re-flash the Rom, while rechecking every thing again. Also most people keep the Aroma Rom incase they need to add something later so again more storage space lost (My last Nandroid was 5.5GB + say 1.5 for Aroma Rom:rolleyes::eek:).

I would think (ok hope) savvy users know how to chop what they don't need out of the ROM package and add what they do use i.e., I add X-plorer and remove ES file explorer etc... before flashing. That's what I do so if I have to re-flash it only has what I want to start with.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] cjk2010:
I Agree. I am a huge fan of Aroma but for the most part prefer to Uninstall/Freeze and have bloat present in odd cases I need it or want to test.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BLuFeNiX:
My mistake. Thanks for the correction.

---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ----------

If you're savvy enough to do that, you should be savvy enough to edit aroma to have your default options. What's the difference? The file size should be roughly the same for aroma vs non-aroma.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tenxo:
Agreed!? I can, and will. I stated the differences by the way. Was just my own opinion, not my ROM nor my decision!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BLuFeNiX:
I must not understand what you're getting at with the differences. Just seems like 6 of one, half a dozen of the other to me. Anyway, I'm sure it'll be a great ROM either way :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] bonetweeter122:
Gravity Box Xposed module works great. Short press for menu.. long press for recent apps.. etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BLuFeNiX:
Awesome, I'll try it out. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] em0ney14:
Where I live I have NO network data access. I rely solely on wifi calls and text and I can confirm that the stock messaging app sends and receives mms messages over wifi.

Granted I do have data network turned on, there is no connection.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] VICosPhi:
Excellent ROM! Crazy customizations :)

One question l, how do I hide the A with circle in it next to the clock in status bar (Alliance logo) ? Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Towle:
That's the battery icon. It's able to be changed or disabled through custom settings.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] em0ney14:
Go to settings and open custom settings. ..

Then open the status bar settings. ..

Then open status bar options. ..

Then open battery options. ..

Then open select battery . ..

Then choose which one you like. .

I reboot to make sure it sticks.

Hope this helps.

:)

The first rom I have used that has the default check on USB debug and also install unknown sources. I always asked that in any rom because we all just about use some sort of application backup ... anyway great thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] sshafranko:
Why don't you freeze the update app with titanium so you don't have to worry about it and keep looking over your shoulder. ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Tattooed5150:
It's already updated and I have no root privileges and no computer. Not extremely worried about it right this minute though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] sshafranko:
Just saying for next time so it doesn't happen again. I always do it as soon as I flash any rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Tattooed5150:
I see what you're saying. I've just been trying to figure out how to get a recovery so I can flash this rom. I've had it downloaded on my SD card since day one of having the phone but no computer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mocsab:
I am curious which update you got? I am not aware of any recent updates - not since September 9th - BNH5 I beleive - did you not run that update when it first was released or did you get a different update? Just curious...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Tattooed5150:
It was on NE6 but now on NH5. We went to dinner at a restaurant with WiFi and it apparently connected and updated. I've only had the phone for a week now and working like 70 plus hours a week so I don't have too much extra time for anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mocsab:
Gotcha - thanks - I was kinda hoping that a newer update had been released - considering that update was originlaly released back in September (around the 10th) kind of odd that it didn't try to update earlier- i would have thought that would have happened soon after you activated it.

Anyway - I am kind of looking forward to the future update to 4.4.4 - Verizon got there update recently and I would think it would be coming to Tmobile sometime soon - thanks for responding - good luck with your New S5 - it is an amazing phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] sshafranko:
You can flash a recovery using an app like mobile Odin pro. Or theres apps that will search for the newest recovery for your phone and install it. Go on the playstore i cant thing of the names right now. Ill find it for you later. You have to root first, but most roms are pre rooted just inject supersu....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Tattooed5150:
The only problem now is that I don't have a computer to root it again. I used towel root when I first got the phone last week to root and same as my old Sprint S5. Now towel root says this phone isn't supported to be able to root. I have Mobil Odin and used to use it all the time but I was just trying to figure out if I could use it to flash Philz Recovery. Maybe I'll just go to Rent A Center and get a laptop for a week so I can properly root. Haha
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] cyaclone:
Sorry I missed your response. Thanks. Never thought that I could connect these two using the WiFi. Just did not think that the phone could send out a WiFi signal also. For whatever the reason, only BT came to mine because that is what I have always used. Learn new things all of the time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] curtst:
Every time I try to make a call using wifi calling it immediately ends the call before it even connects. I have to turn off wifi calling to make a call, which isn't good because reception in my house is spotty at best. Any ideas?

Amazing Rom over stock. The speed of this Rom is great. I was looking for a Rom able to OC but with this one its almost a moot point. Wifi calling works here. Im all stock as far as Kernel/modems go. Anybody recommend an updated kernel/modem that works well with this Rom? I don't want to mess up a good thing. :)

Again, great Rom. Been here since the G1 and this Rom is best I have ever installed over stock on an Android phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ARey1212:
Not asking for a ETA or anything, but just curious from Beans if there's gonna be an update to this rom or not?

I like this ROM a lot and want the new updated modems but not sure if he likes it as is or plans on updating it with the new firmwares/modem. Just want to know if I should flash it manually or wait.

Anywho, thanks for the good work Beans!
