What? V12 is alot faster than v10 hahah what are you talking about? That's the whole reason for the update...lmao... Yea you don't have to "test" my roms cause they're stable lol you just use my roms...they're not built like cyanogen lmao...

And what's gonna take longer another rom? We don't have a new android version to build on...so I'm lost what your talking about

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Tbh it doesn't actually make any difference man...i did it day one then went back to 4.2.2...so it's not as if after you do the 20 min process you can't simply restore v11 backup or flash v11 clean...on our mega the bootloader make absolutely zero difference to be completely honest

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I found a really annoying and possibly costly "setting" slipped into kit kat...if you have noticed your wifi reconnecting everytime your phone wakes up that because kk introduced a setting in the wifi settings that automatically kicks you to data when your phone goes to sleep...which is annoying for me but could be really costly if you don't have an unlimited data plan like I fortunately do...just a heads up you can turn this back to normal bby going into wifi settings, advanced settings and change the Stay connected to wifi setting to always

Ive found something that pleases me alot!!!

The MMS videos will NOW play with the stock Video Player!!

eliminating the need to 'save' the video first, then 'play' with MX Player!!!

Thanks, Mega, for this!! You da Man!

I took the leap. MetroPCS version running Megakat Version 1. No wifi though.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea that's because you need to flash metro baseband for kit kat if you have it...i know alot of carrier models don't have kk yet...unfortunately it's not like roms on 4.2 anymore...now with Knox boot and selinux it's gonna be harder and harder for carrier based megas to run my builds properly

Hey guys someone had pm and asked me if the s5 toggle mod also give us the new multi window page from the s5...it does...i didn't bother taking screens of the toggles since there's pictures everywhere of that theme but here's the multi window page...with nova or galaxy launcher and s5 icon pack you can literally have a 6.3 inch s5 minus the settings menu...pretty sweet

List of s5 kit from the simple build prop mod I posted about the other day...

s5 quick toggles with new flat green/blue background and lime green circles

S5 theme toggles when drop down to expanded quick toggles menu

grey clock In notification panel

S finder button top left corner

new multi window page pictured below. ..looks really clean with blue card background

The s5 modded toggles can also be modded as usual with wanam which is really awesome and best of all its as easy to come back to mega stock toggle style by simply changing back to original meliuslte lines and a reboot

enjoy

Is your LTE data working? I was afraid that flashing the stock KK ROM base would mess up my data since the modem baseband of the stock KK build may not be fully compatible with the MetroPCS version and there would be no way to get the MetroPCS modem baseband flashed back on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] rmarinella:
Well, the flash failed, but it did flash the bootloader. So, it must halt at the incompatibility phase, after the bootloader is flashed.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea guys you never ever want to odin flash the intl i9205 stock tar on your metro mega....tbh your lucky you didn't brick your mega...that goes for any stock odin flashable rom that is not md5 match and specifically for your model phone/carrier model or your asking for trouble tbh....odin flash and zip recovery flash are entirely differnt and world apart

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] pierrottls31:
If someone is like me and want a X version, you can do what i did:

Open megakat zip file using 7zip (do not unzip)

Go to system/app and system/priv-app and remove the apks u dont want

I remove most of the samsung sh..it

Some google service like google book and google movie , trip advisor and printing service. (Be carrful to not removing needed system apk)

Patch the buld.prop and change to s5 ui

Remove some videos tutorial in /system/media/video

Also replace some tw ui sound ogg files

I went down to 950mb

Copy back the zip to ur sd card and flash again zip thru philz recovery. U should not losse anything as we dont need a factory reset.

Restart once, then back to recovery -> philz setting-> root device

Reboot, reinstall and then open supersu thru the play store. Let supersu reinstall binaries (when prompted use "normal" way. Reboot, then ur good :)

Then go to app store and delete the unwanted app.

I just tried it and it works.

As always, do it at your own risk and do a proper backup before hand.

I know this might not be a perfect method but it works, i hope this will help someone.

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Good write up and idea...i usually don't recommend this as many people remove things integral to proper stability especially as kk file system splits sys apks in 3 separate folder banks and I have so many modifications that tie into other apks that no one else could possibly know what's what and are simply guessing and hoping...additionally there's no real benefits to going this route vs simply flashing and disabling those same few apps/widgets after the fact...lastly be careful dirty flashing a second build...as I only intended v1 dirty flash since the previous flash was via odin therefore already clean and your dirty flashing another modded layer on top which is asking for trouble. Just some things to consider before going this route for most people as I know alot of people aren't familiar with unzipping my rom zip, modifying it correctly as to not removed anything that I have actually modified in the system which will create cascade failures I'm the system, then properly repackaging the zip for flash...so unless your relatively advanced I don't recommend this method personally and why I say nor to mod my build in the OP to stop people creating issues that I have no control of

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] curgervending:
This is why I didn't do it. Glad I didn't. I'm gonna stick with your MegaFire V11X. At least I know I'm safe with that.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I'm confused tho...you have an i9205 not a carrier based mega at least if your tagline is correct? So I'm not sure how this applies? This rom and the referenced odin stock rom I linked to in the OP are for our mega i9205 so i think you may be confused as the metro is a carrier based model not the mega we have hence the warning

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] curgervending:
Sorry for the confusion. I actually do have the MetroPCS Mega. GT-I9205 shows up in my tagline while I'm on the MegaFire V11X ROM and pist from my phone. Whenever I odin flash back to the stock MetroPCS ROM then SGH-M819N shows up in the tagline when I post from my phone. To avoid confusion I should figure out how to change this (In build.prop I'm guessing?)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Oh no no no...no worries I just didn't want you to be put off using the Odin and rom if you had the correct model...no worry about changing it...Def steer clear of this until we figure something out for the metro mega...i personally wouldn't try it especially since you guys can run megafire without issue and have a nearly identical experience

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Here you go guys I just tested this ripped from my buddies s5...activity zone gives you a compass, barometer, flashlight, and some other tools based off location data and sensors in your mega...pretty cool thought I'd share

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
KK version 1 worked for you?

So shouldn't try on the metro pcs mega??? Wait for older builds? Confused. Vx11 works well. Shouldn't this too?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
No unfortunately not. ..the mj5 based 4.2.2 builds were based on a bootloader that didn't have knox or selinux integration...unfortunately the bootloaders and baseband are all different for carriers from intl unlocked phones...as a downside to these new lock downs it means you have to have the correct matching boot baseband and system for things to flash and run properly which is the issue with metro...you can't flash the prerequisite odin tar rom...it may be possible to flash on your mega once you have 4.4.2 update with a similar or newer bootloader if someone can pull your baseband and allow you to odin flash it after the fact...as of now there's too many complications and lack of information for me to recommend it

Mega

The other possibility would be a flashable kernel such as the i9200 uses...Although you'd still need kk but if you have kk someone could simply integrate compatibility in the kernel and allow the rom to run on your metro boot and baseband

Making a new build will take longer because you already made it better. You completely mis understand what i posted haha.

Anyway cyanogenmod isnt that bad man. Custom roms are actually meant for people who want to screw with stuff in it and the devs bring out newer things to the community. Cyanogenmod has a plain look stripped down etc, but then its on you to create something of it. Qnd the plain look is customizable into themes and more and that is what i like about it.

---------- Post added at 02:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 PM ----------

Also read slowly next time haha, i mean that v12 is faster, not v10 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Not sure how you thought..."V12 will be same battery and speed as ones before...but I'll test anyway"...actually meant v12 is faster awesome..but ok it's me reading it wrong I guess...lol

Cm sucks dude lol half functioning buggy rom ports of generic featureless builds that i have to help people troubkeshoot when that garbage jacks up their mega isn't what I consider a good rom...and there's barely anything in cm that can't be modded or themed in tw....cm made sense in 2011 2012...now it has no benefit...if anything it strips the best features from your phone without giving you anything in return

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
ZTE won't play nice with our networks. Shame because it looks interesting. The only problem is that ZTE is suspect with their updates.

I like the ascend mate 7. my concern is the development community because of the weird processor. But I guess if they have to keep thei cost down.

Regarding CM;

at least the one I'm using is not so bad. There are some cons and there are some positives. The big positive is that I can use the Motorola 360! LolI guess it's easier to port this kind of rom. It's not bad, it's pretty zippy. The big negative is the weak camera, no real multi window and I noticed that the cellular service is not as stable as it was with the TouchWiz ROM. I noticed Pandora takes longer to load songs up.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Dude don't mistake the fact they produce their own kirin cpu for a slow or mediocre processor...it's nearly identical to Samsung's octa core...and runs up there with note 4...for 1/3 the price...the development community won't matter for me lol I'm the community haha

Yea it's still a mixed bag at best with few benefits and hardly any fearures...plus their a bit of a mess...and strips away all that samsung optimize like you just mentioned...the camera that can be further optimized...the reception and radio...i agree in 2011 when tw was laggy and slow it made sense but now...other than you with that moto lol

Omg dude I'm about to say screw lte like I did with the megas and order the nubia x6...it will get the same coverage and data as the mega...but that size and those specs ahhhh

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
He mega you remember you suggested me about those shades earbuds, i think i found them in that special shop where my tempered screen is being made. When i have the money i will buy them (i found some kind of work, to put it as a short story, i am gaining money for going to school lol)

My current urbanrevolt earbuds still are so amazing man, the bass quality with the work from viper is soooooo good. They are 5 times better than all the beats crap i had. The funny thing is, when i was on my bike going into the town at night i saw the light reflecting off the cable.

Btw i tested the galaxy alpha in the store, nice phone but is even smaller in my opinion to the galaxy s5.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea the shures are amazing...but you need to listen or look into them as they're a bit different than normal earphones...they're natural/neutral not treble or bass heavy...but sound incredibly clear...

Yea I saw an alpha and note 4 here in the local best buy...it's like a note 4 mini but I agree it's just too small I could never go back to that small of a phone

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
Well i can, my next phone will me smaller due to support of the device lol and how i can carry it around town and in the gym, i can still use the mega with ease but from a 4 inch to a 6.3 inch is just such a big step, can barely make that gap haha.

But next time i will be thinking of round the 5/5.5 inch.

But yeah, the mega was the only "big" phone for a small price and it is an awesome thing, but when i see somebody esle calling with it my face just turn into a happy idiot. But i have to stay a year on this phone.

Oh i also tryd the iphone 6... It isnt bad i like what they did but i would prefer a white one instead of total ugly black. Camera is good, screen very good but small, and i like the ui of it, but apple still sucks with the rest of all the crap that is in it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
The Moto X, Series, is a nice phone. I bought one for my mom and dad and my woman. I don't know if you ever played with one but it really gives you a good bang for the buck. They have their weaknesses but they have a ton of nice features. I am split down the middle as well as you. I'm just going to hang on to this galaxy mega for a little bit. I do need to get the micro USB port fix because its buggy right now. It'll run me about 30 bucks to fix but it should hold me off for another few months until something worthwhile comes out.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea ive never liked nexus/moto...stock android is not my thing tbh...the x are decent phones once they got priced appropriately...at launch they were way overpriced like the x 2014 is for the lack of features and hw additions like sd card ext plus the massive over hyping of the x gave it no chance because the expectation vs what they delivered wasn't close ...but yea man you should come over to my note 3 thread...there's been so much device discussion because most everyone's passing on Note 4...even myself who's a massive note fan can't really justify 800 bucks for essentially a note 3 with a metal rim...arguably better screen...and ever so slightly better camera...after playing with it twice I just can't convince myself...now I'm stuck since I was sure I'd get a note 4...

I'm also considering the 6 inch mega 2...looks like a larger note 3...decent spec basically note 2 power. ..but so frustrating the best devices that combine everything like Vivo Xplay 3s and nubia x6 don't give us lte...and I'm a grandfathered unlimited...so for right now I'm just buying gear s and waiting to decide what device I buy next...just sucks since almost everything lately has been almost the same phone/same generic specs in a slightly different frame...

lastly not to mention if you buy a snapdragon 805 note 4 everyone will have huge buyers remorse to know the intl note 4 has the next Gen cpu and gpu that will crush the s805. ..so it's like everything has a catch to it right now...and when your talking almost a grand I'm getting exactly what I want lol

Hey Mega,

I sure will use V12 soon! Looking forward to it.

Anyways, I was also sure on getting the note 4 but I got kinda screwed so long story short ; no money lol.

Anyways, thanks for the update and I will let you know how it went. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] D4dan:
Hey megalomanic, im on v11 for i9200 and very happy, what are the big differences between v11 and v13 ? is it camera even more improved or same camera tweaks as in v11 ? i care only about battery life, camera and audio quality :D im to lazy to make backup and try the new build lol
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
The difference is huge...really....the biggest jump of any of the last several updates...you'll feel it right from the first boot up

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea It's Def a big jump from v10 man...you'll notice the huge boost immediately. ..this has been the biggest improvement to mk man everything's instant

bummer about the note 4...ive gone back and forth about it...but I can't bring myself to pay 800 for basically the same exact note 3 I already have with a few tiny changes...I'm trying really hard to convince myself but so far I'm only getting gear s which I'm so pumped for

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Check it out...camera sample from v12/v13...pitch black complete darkness...amazing difference from before I'm stunned

and this is with the tapatalk quality downgrade...awesome
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
I noticed the camera yeah, and the battery

Flashed v12 last night... got a slow battery charge dut so far the battery has hold 15 hours and has 85% left so that is nice.

The camera man, amazing i have to take fotos of my work and projects at school and i saw the difference, smoother and better.

For so far i havent tested anything else yet but its already a nice rom

Hey Mega,

I have flashed V12 and it works like a charm. I will be selling my Mega soon for a one plus one.. Got an invite, buying the 64GB version.. 300 euros. Anyways, I will stay subscribed to the thread because I like your apps and news.. Goodluck and thank you.

6.3" to 5.5" ? Bah!! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Lmao its about damn time...now all we need is someone to pull a zip of it and send it to me so i can build megakat for the metro

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
That's a bummer man for 300 euro I'd get a huawei ascend mate 7 over an oppo one plus tbh...but I detest oppo and the scams they pulled on people and issues with their devices they tried covering up and keeping people's money so I'd never buy one but whatever you decide on enjoy man

What would you need exactly?

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/36722/M819NUVUBNI5_M819NTMBBNI5_TMB.zip/

I am downloading now. Do you need something specific???
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
No I need one of you guys to extract a rom zip out of it with an androidkitchen and send me the basic deodex zip to rebuild it all...that will give the mounting points and updater script we need to properly flash it....and it needs to be verified rootable

Mega

That's for tmobile? Is that your guys rom/mega?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Yes, there was no TMO. It is MetroPCS which is owned by tmo.

LOL I have no clue what you just said but google is my friend. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Lol its just a development tool kit that extracts the files from a stock rom and breaks it into the folder you see in a zip file when you download my roms...i just don't have the time to do a full build from scratch without having the device to go off and test with...

Mega

Look at it like this...if you figure out how to use the archikitchen to pull the zip I can build you a rom for any device there is...so it may be some added incentive on top of the megakat metro build lol
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
omgoodness... You go through all of this and more?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I give you credit... Fried the brain just reading for 5 minutes... Just installing the "kitchen" is an issue. I'll try when I can lol
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Honestly dude I wouldn't bother...it's so much work to figure out the cygwin environment and peripheral files to even set it up let alone extracting the zip lol...the Linux environment and xyz...I'm just telling you that's the minimum I need... that's just getting the files lol not even building or customizing the rom...there's bound to be someone that's got the kitchen and a metro Mega

Mega

Actually let me look at it when I get home...I'm in the middle of running an experiment in the lab...thinking about it since megakat flashes we should be able to use the same updater script...I'll let you know when I get home later

I just got home I'm gonna download the Metro rom and break it apart and go from there

Mega

I just went ahead and updated my kitchen and tool kits to work on 4.4.4 so I'll work on megakat metro v1 over this weekend...I can do it from scratch but I just don't have the time until sometime this weekend unless someone can send me just the stock Deodex...either way well have you guys running the latest kit in no time
