Not quite sure what you mean..but if you mean the touch keys that light up on the right and left side of the home button on the phone then all the custom roms i tried these illuminated touch keys work for each custom rom. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] EyeBalos:
Yes, you understood what I meant.

OK, so earlier I tried to flash Resurrection Remix using TWRP and it failed! I rebooted the phone but it would not start up. So I rebooted into recovery and restored the nandroid backup. Now the phone is back to stock brand-new-in-box state except for TWRP being the recovery program.

The stock ROM of my phone says Android V4.2.2. I recall reading that the RR rom required V4.4.2 or higher. Is this the reason why the flash failed?

So now I'm thinking of flashing the latest CM11 from Silesh Nair. Would this be easier to flash from stock ROM? Also, do I need to install SuperSU on the stock ROM before I proceed to flash CM11?

Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Try the newest TWRP recovery from [MENTION=4551757]Silesh.Nair[/MENTION] download server here and go into recoveries folder and then the TWRP folder and download the 2.7.0.5 zip file as these recoveries have kitkat support and put it to your internal or external sd card if you have a external one and flash it with the TWRP recovery you have in your phone and re-try that RR rom as it should flash it, as TWRP will also root the phone for you if it detects that your phone has not have it..and if you like to try CM11 you can also.

If you need the SuperSU v1.93 in a zip file which you can also flash with TWRP and just put it into your sd card of your phone also..and you can download it here UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip and after flashing the newest TWRP recovery you can flash this afterwards to ensure you are rooted. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] EyeBalos:
OK,I flashed TWRP 2.7.0.5 and then CM11 successfully. Phone booted up fine. I just noticed that I'm not getting LTE signal like I did on stock ROM, I'm only getting 3G. The phone is locked to Rogers. Does CM11 support LTE? Any other custom ROMs for the i527M that support LTE?

Also, if I want to try the RR ROM, do I need RR-specific gapps or can I use the CM gapps?

Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
I flashed both CM11 and RR custom roms on my i527m mega and it shows 4g well it shows LTE on the my phone which is the 4g in my area as my wife's phone shows 4g instead of LTE...so it should work..i see you have the i527m model and did you flash the right rom as one will show melius3gxx and one will show meliusltexx in the title of the rom and you will need the meliusltexx one to have 4g working.

And with the gapps check out [MENTION=4551757]Silesh.Nair[/MENTION] post here and in his signature you will see GApps with 4 links to them..most members use the BaNkS gapps for custom roms as these gapps will have 4.4 kitkat support which all the gapps in his signature have. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] EyeBalos:
I did flash the LTE version - CM11-20140602-UNOFFICIAL-meliusltexx.zip. I also flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip from TWRP.

Although my phone is locked to Rogers, my carrier is actually Fido and the Fido LTE SIM card works with Rogers without unlocking. As I mentioned, I had LTE on the stock ROM prior to flashing CM11.

Any other suggestions to try?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] EyeBalos:
Hi SM, still trying to figure out this LTE problem. When I flashed CM11 and RR using TWRP, I only did the factory reset option. Should I try again using the advanced wipe options? If yes, which partitions should I use?

Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Well I installed CM11 again and lte was working and I checked around in the ron but could not find anything on a setting for the bands.

In TWRP use advance wipe and check the first 4 boxes Dalvik cache, Cache, Systen and Data and try reflashing the CM11 rom and see if kte will show up. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] EyeBalos:
OK, I just did the advanced option to wipe dalvik, cache, system and data. Then reflashed CM11 - still doesn't get LTE. Also the carrier says Rogers Wireless instead of Fido on the lock screen.

Do I need to change the APNs? After reflashing, there are 4 APNs created including:

Fido FTE = ltemobile.apn

It's weird that it would create a Fido APN yet display "Rogers Wireless" as the service on the lock screen.

[MENTION=4482939]starmaster10[/MENTION]: I see you have tried so many custom ROMs on this biggie phone! :) Which one of all these do you finally prefer? OR maybe just stock Samsung itself?

Well, to be honest, all these non-functioning this and that on custom ROMs (LTE, WiFi, touch, etc.) has scared me to take the risk of custom ROMming! I just wish by now, a non-invasive rooting method existed for Mega 6.3" with KitKat. Man, on other phones, it's just so easy and no-brainer to root but with Mega! Naah.

Mega is a production phone for me, all I wanted was to root it (I don't want custom recovery) that doesn't screw Knox!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Well the two custom roms I liked the best was resurrection and the dirty unicorn rom as those roms had some nice features in them..but I am on the 4.2.2 jellybean right now for a while already..I will most likely install the kitkat 4.4.2 NE5 rom in a while and at least I can still install some custom roms down the road..and knox is triggered on my phone due to rooting and installing a custom recovery TWRP 2.6.3.0..as it is good to have backups in case something goes haywire. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] hrkh83:
Hi,

I want to install a custom rom for a friend that has an unlocked SGH-i527m. I wanted to ask several questions:

1. Which ROM is both fast and stable with minimum numbers of bugs!? I think KitKats are fine. I need something that doesn't give my friend a headache.

2. The latest download link provided by Silesh.Nair is for InvictaOS-7.1.2-20170704-athene-v4.0.zip ... Android 7.1.2... Is it stable?

3. Is it possible to install any ROM that is in the i9205 section? What other i9XXX can I install on this device?

4. Do I have to look for a certain recovery for each ROM? Or can I use the latest recovery available? I have seen some devices that there is a specific recovery for each ROM.

Thank you in advance.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lycan84:
So my battery is draining at a ridiculous rate. Google services are using 34% of my battery. I'm running completely stock GS3 on verizon now with 4.3. I've been doing some research, I'm thinking I need to root to debloat and get some battery increases. I think i can do the root easily enough, but installing roms and safestrap seem a tad daunting to me. So would I be best off to root and install a rom? And would anyone be willing to help me out?

Thanks for all the hard work you all do.

If you need to stop google service then I will try to help you but its better you ask the MODERATOR for solution.

Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
Before you go overboard if you haven't already you should boot into recovery and do a factory reset. If you took the update over the air that would explain a lot. for some reason the ota changed settings and was just overall poorly executed. If a factory reset doesn't help download the 4.3 Odin file from this website and see if that helps. I say this website and not from a place like Samsung-updates because most of there files will not wipe the phone so problems tend to stick around.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] garwynn:
Thread cleaned to remove warez reference. Be careful what you suggest and make sure it is properly done.

There are other, proper ways to get Rom Toolbox that don't involve using a third party app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mtsprite:
concerning that last part, i would read very carefully before attempting to install a custom rom on 4.3. i've seen a lot of people brick their phones because they failed to read up on it. Best place to start is rooting, then after that (if you still want to install a custom rom) go to the safestrap thread and read up on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lycan84:
Been reading up on it a bit. I enabled developer options and checked close apps when exiting i think. And my battery life was improved a lot. I still want to do root i think so i can freeze some bloatware at least.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
Be careful on what you freeze. Most of the bloat is just a eye sore in the app draw. Touchwiz roms have a lot of layers depending on other layers to work properly and if you freeze the wrong thing your phone might get worse battery and be very buggy. There is a master list of what you can safely freeze somewhere on the forum.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lycan84:
So now a couple days later my battery is back to pitiful life and wont fully charge over night, draining to near nothing in half hour or so. Going to try a factory reset and see what happens...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
I would also Odin stock
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lycan84:
What do you mean??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lycan84:
Did a factory reset. Battery life the first day after a full charge was great. Wasn't on it a whole lot and didn't put many apps back on it but I got to 22hrs before it hit 10%. Now I can't get the damn thing to fully charge. I feel lost.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
Sound like a faulty battery to me. Try exchanging it. Verizon should exchange for you for free. I would also download wakelock detector. Or better battery stats. Check for rogue apps
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fopazo:
Hello everyone

I just bought a Galaxy S4 Active and people started saying that they hear an echo of their voice every time they call me or I call them.

I tried different things. I noticed that every time I remove the back cover the problem is gone, then I put it back again and the echo is back. I unchecked the noise reduction option but nothing happened.

Does anyone have a solution for this? :crying:
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captaincado:
My 1st S4 Active did that, brought phone back and got another one.

[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captaincado:
You might want to call Samsung....I was told that it was a hardware issue, that's why I ended up with a replacement thru AT&T.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Decer:
It has not happened with our Active yet, but we have had the echo with multiple other phones... in all our cases it was dust that got in the microphone hole, took a needle and just very carefully cleaned out the hole and it took care of the problem. No clue if that will help you or not, but can't hurt to try!

I have a galaxy S4 + certain ppl I call hear themselves talk when in a conversation with me....through trial + error, I found a fix( for me anyway) I removed the cover I had on the phone + placed a piece of med weight paper (such as glossy photo paper) + placed a small strip of it over the head phone jack + the top mic, replaced the cover so its wedged in there + it works now.............hope you have the same result
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e04mk:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] baobrain:
Hello everyone,

Before anyone tries to point out that this thread has similar predecessors, let me clarify. I have checked the other threads, and they are either outdated, or do not apply to my case.

I use the SGH-i337 with mk2 firmware, rooted with superSU installed and binary counter reset via TriangleAway.

So here's the situation:

Since I have quite a bit of music, I purchased a 32GB MicroSD that I use with the device. The thing is, since there is so much music, and I can only use FAT32 out of the box, data loss is quite severe. I end up with a quarter of my library virtually unusable (tracks blend in with each other, random segments are inserted and removed from files).

As most of us know, EXT4 has none of these problems, nor does it have that 4GB limit per file that FAT has, but the OEM rom simply does not support (or rather blocks support of) the filesystem format. I have thought about switching to a custom rom, but the problem is that AT&T locked this down pretty well even on mk2, so that the bootloader is virtually unchangeable.

Could someone help me with this? Also, if there is a "safe" way of unlocking the bootloader, I'd be up to that as well.

Thanks before hand.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jmjoyas:
There is no way to unlock the boot loader.

Have you tried the exfat format?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] baobrain:
:/

Too bad

I have tried using exfat, and although the results are quite a bit better, there is still file loss occurring.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Galaxy*$4:
maybe its just me but i am not liking the new google wallet. i like the old one, where i could tap the card i want and pay. now i have to add money to the app then pay pretty much. yes i can put money in but it seems to me, using the old method was better.

so i have the zip file for it from way back i believe. and it wont work. i keep getting nfc force close. which ends up in me reflashing my rom

i have done a google search and it brought up nothing that was helpful. i did follow this guide http://www.phonearena.com/news/How-to-Google-Wallet-working-on-the-Verizon-Samsung-Galaxy-S4_id43574 even downloaded the zip file to make sure it wasnt the file i had

hopefully somebody has done this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Galaxy*$4:
so, i decided to try this new google wallet and i guess i will have to get used to this new one. i put $50 to pay for the stuff i had. well it didnt work. so i was upset and had to pay via the same card. and yes my nfc was on. so i get back to my truck, and noticed on tap to pay in the nfc settings, google wallet doesnt pop up. i will screen shot this later. could that be the reason why it doesnt work?

now i have to wait until google wallet sends me a deposit, then i can put the money back in my bank.

hope somebody can help me out, google wallet was a nice feature (i think it worked on my s4 running 4.2 mf3 build at the time) but i know it did on my s3 quite well.

I own a T-mobile Galaxy S4 that is currently on android 4.3 with the MK2 modem flashed via oden and an MDL bootloader. I am planning to send off my device for warranty repair to Samsung. I know they normally update to the most recent android version etc. (4.4.2).

I have been combing through the threads on here and androidcentral to try to find an answers that is clear but I haven't found it. Essentially I want to know if they return my phone with 4.4.2 (which will be bootloader locked and knox enabled) if I can do the following.

1. Install TWRP or recovery environments. (some threads said you can't and that full root is not achievable to use Titaniumbackup etc.)

2. Downgrade to 4.3 if needed

3. Flash custom roms (eyeing up Insane Kit Kat V8 NB4 )

4. Will I have to use CH-AUTOROOT and with that will I be able to use TWRP

5. If anyone could point me to a thread that instructs on how to root in this scenario - that would be hugely helpful!

I appreciate anyone who can take the time to write back with answers to my questions. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Yes.

Sort of. You can't get teh 4.3 bootloader back or use older modems, which means you can't restore to stock 4.2 using Odin. You should be able to flash older custom roms though.

Yes.

Yes.

the platform-specific port, alone with other UI components like Browser, LockScreen and Keyboard.

Prerequisite

Nexus 7 “razor” [2013] (WiFi)

Android 4.4.2 (KOT49H)

rooted and adb shell access

Installation

Download the image: goo.gl/ybYVO1 (146.7 MB)

Unzip files to /data, make sure busybox has executable permission

Start the UI by:

./chroot.sh

Technical details

a minimal Ubuntu root filesystem (Trusty/armhf)

Qt 5.2.1 and Oxide 1.0 (Chromium content API wrapper)

libhybris for hardware acceleration

[Other Tools & General Discussion] yuppicide:
I needed an Android app designed and I've no idea how to do it myself. I've used websites before to get other work done, such as website help I was stuck on. I decided to give Odesk.com a try. It's a website where I post a job, people bid on the job.

What a scam / rip-off!

I have a decent idea for an app, which I don't see out there currently. There is another device that can do what my app would do, but this is a piece of hardware for $20, when I could design the app and sell it for 99 cents.

So, I posted my job and hired someone in India. He assured me he could do what I needed. We communicated on what I wanted and I accepted his bid. My app is something small and simple, so I don't think a lot of work is required, hence the low price I was hoping to get the work done for.

I was required to pay 20% in advance, which wasn't that much, so I did it.. less than $30. I figured that was a good deal. I pay a few bucks up front to show I am serious. Another website holds the money in escrow. Not this website. :(

About a week or a week and a half go by and I ask the guy how things are coming along. I had given my project a deadline to be finished by next month. No answer from the person, but a few days later he replies that my app is all done, here you go, job marked as finished.

First off, how the hell can someone just mark a job as completed just because some other guy says it is? What about me? I don't get a say on whether it's completed or not?

I was surprised he finished it. I was thinking it would be something I could alpha or beta test. If things went well I would provide a splash screen he could insert in the beginning. But to my surprise it booted up with a name and a logo already.

He STOLE the software from another website! Just typing the name of the app in the web pulls up their website. The app doesn't even do what I want. Sure, it has similar elements, but it doesn't do what I want. All he did was rename their APK to my name.

The seller will not respond and Odesk not will refund my money. They warn you to not make a pre payment of any amount, yet they allow people to request a pre payment and their system allows you to pay, even though no work was finished.

I have an investigation going on with Odesk. If they spend two seconds they'd see that the guy stole the software and could refund my money. That could take awhile, so I went ahead and filed a claim with my credit card company, lodged a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

Anyway, I thought I'd warn people not to use this site. I've used freelancer.com before, previously vworker.com, previously rentacoder.com with no issues, but since they switched to freelancer.com I think their rates went up is why I don't use them and am looking for another place.

If anyone knows a place to get an app designed for a fair price (not game), lemme know.
