Basically I hate cyanogen personally. ..they're typically buggy ports since they've been generically made...As far as what you lose, multi window dual screen...all of thr features of touchwiz/samsung...you lose the camera quality, plus you'll lose all the gear and kit I do to thr roms like improve the display and camera, battery life, performance ect ...for sheer battery life , stability, and performance i havent seen anything close to v3 but its totally your call what you use...There's a reason I don't do "stock" android or cyanogenmod roms or even launchers I hate the look and generic features that xposed can give you...you can get the few decent features like pie launcher on any rom so imo it's pointless to give up all the optimization for a generic port but that's just my opinipn...call quality won't change or reception won't change don't know why you think that. ..and the camera is fine on Tw is only 1 setting video playback that has the weird issue...but how many videos do you take a day lmao??? haha but you'll lose the amazing camera software from Samsung that I further tweak with everything else you used my builds for...also lose the super fast gps, s voice ect most of the things samsung optimize or develop are gone ect ...I always recommend anyone who thinks they're tempted by stock or cm to try it out...just keep a backup of v3 since you'll be back in about an hour lmao

Mega

Ps by the way I literally just checked my pm box had this In my inbox from early this mornirng...copied directly from another user feedback..."man you were right, I tested out cm11 and its super buggy (Idk why but everything has delay or stutter) but the biggest lost was the camera quality and battery life. on your roms I can play games for hours, chat, text, ect and be at 50%, but on cm I was charging my battery nearly 2 times faster than on megakat. Amazing job dude thanks again"...all I cut out was his XDA tag and I'll add it if he wants me to but there ya go pretty cut and dry
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I Def think some of these are pretty cool man thanks for sharing

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
What did you end up doing man? I really hope you didn't try an att rom on your mega and bricked it...Def hoping your busy and not quiet cuz your megas a paperweight lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] pierrottls31:
Lmao too, I was invited last night for diner, and realized after 2 phone call that I cannot hangup.... and also my GPS app not working and I'm leaving this afternoon on buisness trip :( So, During diner, I flashed back to MK V3 and restore my backup in less than 10 min :) So you are right: I tried CM11, and back to MK couple of hours later :))) lol

Thank you anyway for your explanation

cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
No problem buddy lol...just glad you had your backup I figured it wouldn't take long haha

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
And I will squeak my post in here and just let members know that the megakat rom can also be flashed on the i527m (Canadian version) mega and seems to work good. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Awesome dude...thanks for letting me know...did you guys just get a kit kat update by chance?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
I am on the saktel carrier and I am not sure if the kk official came out or not..since I have a modified device I cannot get an update even..and I am kinda leerie to update if I could to some of the problems that have occured with the kk update..but I will check to see if an update is even available for my carrier. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
What I mean is...what process did you use to flash it without a kit kat bootloader and the proper baseband for your mega? Did you flash grakernal or something? As your wifi should break and pieces of your system may not function without those? That's what I'm trying to figure out since the sprint and metro megas are in the same boat as yours

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Oh okay..I have knox on the phone already and I am on the NA3 rom which is still jelly bean 4.2.2 and I just flashed your rom with TWRP and that was all and no grakernal at all..I will install v3 in a while and see how the wifi and other stuff works as I know the wifi did not work in v1. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
OK now I understand...yea the rom will run just fine like normal but you won't have wifi and the wifi controller is integrated in the baseband in kk s kk with the matching boot and baseband you're wifi will not work but I think thats pretty much the only thing that doesn't work right...Metro and sprint guys are in the same boat unfortunately all waiting on stock kk updates for boot and baseband...thanks for letting me know man much appreciated

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Correct wifi does not work and when you go into security under more tab and when you select security it will say unfortunately the app has stopped and when you hit okay it just goes back to the home screen and ceetain widgets the letters are cut off..but you just delete them and re-add the widget and it was good then..those seem to be the only problems I have seen on this rom at this time. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Those will be the only problems but will always be there until you guys get base kit kat rom updated unfortunately...thanks for letting me know...a few guys are using it right now just not using wifi but yea when kk comes it should sort that for you guys

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
No problem dude and thanks.:thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jimmbomb:
very good review...

what's the model number of that black one and the best place to buy it??

Thanks mega... I will follow you that way!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Ntech02:
i know you have your reasons i just got a little ballsy and thought if it might work and it did, so just putting it out there if anyone wants to try.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Danai2014:
Work on i9200?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Ntech02:
yes it works on i9200, please follow the developers instructions on flashing it at the top of page 1
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Danai2014:
Thank you brother
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Now that I've done my part lol I'm gonna mess around with megakat and see if we can't get that s5 build prop mod working to give us the full ui theme of the s5...just as an alternative. ..possibly an s5 themed megakat...we shall see lol....enjoy v1 everyone

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
OK so that was much easier than expected lol...unfortunately idk if that themes for me lol but if you wanna do this it's super easy

Use root browser or root explorer

1. System

2. Open Build.prop as editable text

3. Change the following two lines

ro.product.name=meliusltexxx

ro.product.device=meliuslte

To

ro.product.name=SM-N900S

ro.product.device=SM-N900S

4. Click save...then exit the build.prop

***if using root explorer delete the build.prop.bak file that's created when you save the modded build.prop

5. Reboot and enjoy

To return back to mega ui theme simply replace the SM-N900S lines with the original proper meliuslte lines and reboot

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Guys remember this build and method was built and tested on the galaxy mega i9205...i have no idea or way to test what other megas this rom will or will not work for...but having stock kk for your mega is an obvious prerequisite, aside from that it's anyone's guess carriers are insane so lol as more info and feedback comes then we'll know more about what models can or can't flash megakat at least at this point

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
My megakat V1 Theme and setup

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vicoweb:
Hello Mega, and thank you very very much for your present: the MagaKat v1! It seems really beautifull. I will install later... Just a question: if i would like to change the standard mega touchwiz, to the s5 touchwiz and UI, i just have to write

ro.product.name=SM-G900

and

ro.product.device=SM-G900

Is it correct?

And then, once it's done, the UI, the menus, etc, will be transparent with visible wallpaper, like your pictures above?

Thank you man!:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
No there 2 different themes and ways to do them...what's in the photos above I did with wanam and xposed. ..the s5 mod will give you the s5 quick toggles (blue and green icons) ...If you wanna do something like you see on my theme just download wanam from play store after flashing and rooting megakat V1 man enjoy

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vicoweb:
perfect man, thanks!

A last question for you: this s5 all-in-one mod (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708265), could be working on your megakat? it seems to be designed for galaxy s4, but maybe...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gilbertvpuen:
Wow. Just flashed rom alls good. Now gunna check batt life. Thanks mega!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
So time has come to commit... upgrade... i am still reluctant, but there is no other way to have MegaKat :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
nvm I just fully read the instructions. Metro PCS version of the Mega (SGH-M819N) hasn't gotten KK yet, so I don't think this would work for us. I'd advise anyone with a Metro PCS mega to hold off unless you are really brave.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] pierrottls31:
Hi mega, as always megakat is awesome. Almost did not see any differences with v11x. Just a tiny details, i feel like its taking more time to charge the batterie. The overall is a tiny bit slower than v11 but more than usable. So far no compatibilties issues or bug found :)

Same for the battery, i have almost same discharge as v 11x, just a bit faster but i need to take of some samsung crap from the background.

You re still da man :)

Cheers.

Looking forward for a v2X
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] samueldewit:
Cant wait to try it!! I just recieved my 7800 MAh Battery so it will be an beast now lol!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] djxxl@live.com:
How can i get this on the MetroPCS mega 6.3...There is no released Stock kk Rom for it yet
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] pierrottls31:
Dear mega,

Can we use the battery saver mode integrate into kitkat settings or your tweaking are better and we dont need it?

Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I don't recommend it since I've heavily tweaked the battery...the biggest thing with the battery life is letting the build settle in for a day or so...second battery saving or standby will probably drain faster...also my battery life is amazing on kk until I updated google now since it now has always listening from every screen...that destroyed my battery 2x faster so...Greenify is your friend

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea I agree man...i mean it's not worth bricking your Mega over this build...not when it's almost identical to megafire and there's 30 builds of that available that works on metro mega flawlessly

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
The original galaxy gears are model number sm v700. ..i have the root kit put together and the whole deal...i bought my black one two weeks ago brand new in the box on ebay...i don't know of anywhere cheaper...Imo make sure you get a new one...the difference in price is very little pick 30 bucks but could be huge if beat up or bricked xyz. ..when you buy it don't update it or anything before pm me because it will attempt to have you update to tizen from android...the biggest mistake ever other than if it flashed android wear instead of my full 4.2.2 rom identical to megafire v13 lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] joem789:
Can this rom be installed on the L600? Particularly, can any of the i9200 and similar Mega roms be installed on it?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Idk what the L600 is lol but short answer no. ..it only works on the 2 intl unlocked megas that have been updated to stock kit kat...i have megafire 4.2 builds in my other threads the sprint and metro megas can flash and run flawlessly but not this one

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
Is that mean you have made some MegaGear custom rom for Gear? It will be interesting...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
No I don't post roms in the gear threads...i just put together a base rom, root, and recovery kit in a zip file...and I've shared my personal builds with a few people but i don't post them or anything like that

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
At least is good to know so you have some own solution for Gear...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea I mean it's full 4.2 with an overclocked kernel unlocking thr 2nd cortex a9 core making it dual core 1.6ghz lol plus any apps the mega 4.2 roms and most of 4.4 roms run the gear 1 can run...then with viper to boost speaker gain and quality thr speakerphone about on par with my old note 1...so it's def light years beyond the tizen or wear lines I just can't wrap my head around why they'd ditch full android for either one of those? But yea man I can't recommend it enough to anyone that's interested in a smart watch...Imo none of thr wears should even be considered "smart" as they have literally no practical function.

Mega

I made a joke to my friend the other night I was like... dude android wear is the pebble of the android world lol
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
V4 coming. ..I gotta little something uploading...hadn't planned a v4 this soon...but was tinkering with a personal test build and it turned out so incredible i had to share it...just started uploading will post later on tonight

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Megakat V4 is live in the op...just stupidly fast lol Enjoy

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Micha71:
Good morning Mega! Could it be this, the video bug(bow) with the new Changelog 1907000 is removed?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
No clue dude i dont bother updating the base since I fix 99.99% of what these"updates" do several months later except source stuff. .. download and side load the camera, gallery, and video player and check if you want. .. personally I wouldn't even bother for myself...i never use the video camera and if I did I'd either just film it and watch it on my computer or shoot it in the 2nd highest setting which looks identical unless zoomed in after the fact in editing

Mega

Where'd you see this "change list" at...all I see posted is the firmware with generic "bug fixes" that's labeled on every stock base rom??
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Micha71:
Firmware Version Info

---------- Post added at 08:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 AM ----------

If were just one purely informative ones asks
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Wait I'm confused...i thought you said you saw bug fixes and source video codec fixes? Or were you just asking me if I think that there's a chance they fixed it?...if that's the case no I doubt it...typically all the initial builds are identical with slight regional variances until all regions get updated on the same device and then they actually do about 1 maybe 2 true improvement builds appx 6 or 8 months apart... I would doubt they'd be able to fix the source that quick otherwise they wouldn't have pushed out roms with the same video playback in 1080 bug to pretty much every device that got kk...at least my 9 different devices on kk all have it

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Micha71:
If only thought this a chance would be to be removed bug with it

---------- Post added at 08:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 AM ----------

Sorry!!I did not want to confuse you
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Oh no worries...like I said you could always try it and see if they've somehow patched their own stock apps to work around the android source bug...i mean you can side load the gallery camera and video player if you could get the apps. ..you have to download and odin flash the stock rom then copy the apps then redo root and recovery xyz but once your back on megakat you could side load them and check but like I said...if you use a lot of video why not shoot in 1280x720 which plays back fine and has the same definition unless zoomed in when editing on a computer. ...or film in full 1080 and just watch on your computer? Not as if you don't have ways around it you know what I mean...the video camera works perfect it's only playback on the mega itself...

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
V4 is running incredible guys enjoy

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] pierrottls31:
Guys,

For those like me who 's having the camera 1080p video playback issue, here what I've found:

However, if MX Player's software decoder is used, playback works beautifully, leading me to believe the issue will affect any app relying on mediaserver for video decoding.

This was found on:

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=63058

This issue was suppose to be on 4.4 and suppose to be fixed on 4.4.2 according to comments.

Anyway, switching MX player "for local file" to Software decoder works for me (I only had issue playing 1080p Video taken with the camera, no issue playing Avi, MP4 movies from the sdcard

Mx player-> setting ->Decoder-> Use S/W decoder for file stored in local

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Awesome dude excellent find...yea it's only a bug in 4.4 recorded video camera 1080p...makes sense why using a 3rd party s/h video codec rather than stock one would render properly...great find thanks for sharing

Is it posiible to flash V4 after UDNF2?

V4 installed!!

Very nice... thank alot!

ok finally want to give Android a 2nd chance, I am coming from the 5s, only reason I went android because I like big screen now and will ditch my ipad mini so I will only bring 1 phone on the road, and by the way I just got a brand new Mega 6.3 unlocked i527 for $257 Brand new sealed on the bay.

My question is how do I start with this rooting, I have no idea what you guys are talking about, hope someone can link me a youtube video so I don't brick this new phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] yusopa:
cant download. try many time. so sad
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Whuu? You try from the browser not from drive downloading strait to the mega? though given the numbers it's been getting slammed with traffic so that's probably part of it lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Not here pm me and I can explain

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
For all you i9200 users...you have shivwest to thank for convincing me to build you guys a megakat i9200 specific based off your proper stock rom...he pulled the zip and sent it to me and I completely rebuilt it and replicated megakat v4...go snag it from the op...enjoy

Mega

And no you i9205 guys the i9200 v5 is just a name it's not a newer or better build lol its literally identical to our v4
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shivwest:
Thanks Mega for your help I hope everyone on the i9200 will try this out!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Shiv and I have been working and think our shared folder will circumvent the download issues for you i9200 users downloading v5. ...should also help i9205 megakat users not get quota message either by relieving some of the traffic thru my drive folder

Mega

Added 2 mirrors for i9200 v5
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] yusopa:
This what i love megakat read my usbdrive automatically
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
You too? that USB otg cable Is by far the best 13 dollars I've ever spent. ..that's pretty much how I transfer all my backups to my backup sd...love otg also lol

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shivwest:
Alright so after having installed the i9200 version of MegaKat I wanted give my feedback. Performance initially seemed a bit sluggish however after a couple reboots everything was running quick, and when I debloated the rom deleting about 75 system apps it was incredibly fast. However I also froze a bunch of the additional apps using app quarantine, about 100 addition apps and now this rom absolutely flies. Performance is on par with MegaFire in my opinion if not surpassing it a little bit. Memory performance is improved on idle I have about 400 mb of ram at use while on megafire I had around 550 mb in use. I have barely been running the rom for 10 hours and I have already gotten a quadrant score of 9200 and an antutu score of 22000. There are still some app incompatibilities/bugs which come with a kitkat base but that is in no way due to optimizations done to this rom. I will report back more once I have had a few days to let this rom completely settle in!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Amazing can't really say much else...9200 is stupidly high...that's a full thousand points higher than the megafire roms...glad we could put this together for you i9200 guys to get rid of that kernel and running megakat properly...Def excited to see how it is after it settles...now that the roms are tweaked so precise I may consider doing v5x stripped builds...we shall see lol Enjoy bro

Great Rom, even if I do not own a Mega.

Awesome buddy I'm glad you're enjoying it...been trying to make it better and better...def loving my mega more and more lol

Am tensely what you for the V5 (V6) still wants to improve
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
It's gonna a be a week or so before I try to update the build since I have no idea what I can do to make it any better lol its been running fantastic on my mega so it'll be several days no worries not coming out tomorrow lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Micha71:
V4 its Perfect!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Guys just a heads up...I've eliminated almost all of the deliberately slowed kk animations but if you want an even more instantly snappy tw launcher...go into dev options and change all 3 animation/transition effects to .5 ...by doing this it will essentially give the animation speed of 4.2 tw and def makes the feel as fast as the rom...plus the animations are really smooth still...admittedly sometimes it's to instant for me since v4 but others may like the extreme speed style enjoy

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] samueldewit:
I love V4! Worked perfectly, debloated it and runs smooth! Thanks again Mega for your great work :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I'm considering for the next build v6 doing stripped x builds...give the animation change a try and see how fast it feels lol enjoy

Guys, how is camera quality on megakat ? Is it a lot better then stock rom? im pritty satisfated right now with my stock mega i9200, very fast, smooth,i never ever experienced any kind of lag or problem. with my previous phone NOTE 1 n7000 even with custom roms there was sometimes lags, restarts etc. My antutu score is 19800 points, never rooted. im a camera and music freak :D installed neutron and noozxoide and just WOW amazing sound :) only left camera so thats why i consider to flash Megakat V5 :) i have also 1,3 year warranty left, but if camera is really good on megakat im ready to flash :D PLS someone upload full size photos from megacat v4/v5 default camera indoors and outside
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Dude no offense but if you think the stock rom on the mega is good...which is by far one of the worst stock roms ive ever built on for the nearly 40 devices I've built for and of the 11 currently devices I have roms for....if you think that's good my roms would blow your mind lmao...look at what your warranty covers and see why I broke mine day 1 when they arrived...the warranty is minimal and only covers manufacturer style faults it's not insurance....the experience from a good qualtiy rom improves the experience to the point it's there's no 2nd thought about it Imo but thays just me you have to make your own decision what's more important getting the best performance battery life and fun from your mega...or your warranty ..only you can make the decision regardless how much I improved the camera or screen density/coloration ect man

Mega
