No worries dude...but that process is hard and fast to keep you out of a whole lot of trouble lol...the whole ordeal is confusing enough with kk updating and all the knox boot stuff...but if you follow that process all together it should take you 25 mins or so and keep all your apps installed but be running my heavily tweaked kk build

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] yusopa:
Ok mega i already install in old bootloader with old baseband. And i know that cause wifi problem. But no problem i just try. No problem in flashing process. It boot just like before with megafire. I just got unfortunately system for now when i go to security section. Internet ok but not wifi. Carrier look good. Faster then before (for me). Will report again. Thanks man
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea your gonna get breaks in wifi and the system by doing that like I noted...i get what you were trying just to see. ..but you have to follow that method I posted...it's quick and easy tbh and the rom is super fast...I'm actually staying on Megakat I'm so impressed...the benchmarks are 500 points higher in quadrant alone that v11 and nearly 1100 higher than stock lol that alone is enough for me to stay... the stock kk rom was a joke but I'm stoked with v1

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Ntech02:
so let me tell u what just happened lol

i went ahead and did a nandroid backup

didnt wipe or do anything else

dirty flashed V1 KK rom and i swear it wokred. booted up and everything without an issue or error.

so just to be clear it does work dirty flashing it coming from JB MegaFire 11/JB stock

my only problem is my GT-I9200 phone screen doesnt work on any official KK roms :'( ithink its because of my replacement screen.

i wish i had a way to fix it, i hate AOSP

for proof i can only post a screenshot seeing as how my screen isnt being detected :\
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
There's a reason I don't recommend this or even trying it since your going to have issues no matter what and is why I went thru the specific process man...if it boots or not doesn't really make a difference...it's how it well runs and how stable it runs and this way will never be either...don't try an backdoor this update guys...follow the instructions...all your apps stay on your mega and settings so there's no reason to try a backdoor when I've given you guys the easiest most efficient way to get there stable

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Micha71:
Of ale after instruction made you the thing runs like the devil ;) !!! Benchmark 21258
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Hahaha awesome dude...I'm psyched your enjoying it I know you've been waiting for weeks for me to quit being lazy....glad I came thru for you buddy

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Micha71:
What should come out when you only V2 updates makes. Then we still overtake the Note3 and the S5 :D ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Fellas just a heads up...titanium doesn't really work after 4.2...i was never big into restoring app or data, but from 4.3 and still on 4.4 restoring with tb causes some serious issues...if you start having problems you know the culprit...and yea the new sd block out for data in kk is so annoying google are bunch of duches lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea enjoy it...megakat will still be here for you whenever you want it lol...it's a 25 minute process that you can immediately restore v12 if you want...no hurry to it especially with both Builds being almost identical

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vampirexx:
Thanx Megalo this rom is by far the best one i ve ever tried thank you very much buddy!!

Only a couple of questions:

I cannot find words suggestion when typing on keyboard even with the activated option... why? And also cannot uninstall some apps like flipboard or other cause they automatically reinstall.

Last thing... is ut possible to apply graphical theme style on your rom.. other than touchwiz from samsung?

Thanx a lot and keep up the amazing project!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] pierrottls31:
Im not a big fan either but my data is limited and wifi suck. So it s the fastest way for me to reinstall my application :)

I also have the fc for 3/4 apps but in the overall my application got restored.

I dont know why they decided in 4.4 to remove user permission to write sd... are they trying to do like apple and give no access to the file system?

I had thr same writting issue with other app on the sd. Maybe for v3 you can apply the platform trick :)

Anyway, download and install v2 yesterday, better than v1 which was already good. Not even 12h to settle down and give awesome result. Good job buddy

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Awesome dude thanks alot for the compliment man. ..if I'm understanding right you want the word box that gives the 3 options on the kb right...I'm guessing the stock samsung kb? If so you have to have the character preview checked, predictive text on with both options selected, and the auto replacement on and has to be on with the language checked as well...i know English works idk bout other languages...

As for uninstalling apps I'm confused I juts uninstall them and they're gone....i mean you could use titanium backup it just freeze them, or simply disable them in application manager vs deleting them like I do...

Lastly I'm not sure what you mean by graphical style...maybe by tw you mean launcher but you could also mean theme so I'll cover both lol. ..yes you can use other launchers like google now launcher, nova launcher, galaxy launcher, windows 8 launcher...and on those launches you can use different icon theme packs for differnt colors and styles...as for the theme on touchwiz that too can be done. ..just download wanam from the play store, it will prompt you to download xposed framework, download and install xposed...and activate wanam on xposed then reboot enjoy man

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Thanks alot dude my pleasure and im glad you like it...i completely understand man...imo yea that's exactly what google is doing...locking down the system even from manufacturers...the tb restore is a part, but you can't even write to the sd from in an app anymore...i can't even save a freaking picture from hd backgrounds app to my sd because of google...the fact is google don't like manufacturers using sd cards, they quit supporting sd cards at class 6 around 2011/2012 but a few companies kept using the framework and build mods to reactivate it...well google decided to hit back and removed the framework from source that's why all the known hacks and work arounds don't work, or cause Hella bad issues of internal and external storage...so...

Unfortunately not dude...i tried every known hack I could apply during testing the build before v1 to restore native apps 2 SD or even permissive writing with selinux permissive...and that worked alright then compeltely wiped my sd card randomly on about the 6th reboot...so yea lol...they causd some serious cascade failure throughout the internal storage and external sd...so i can't in good conscience include a hack that is either barely functional or i know is a time bomb...I'm starting to hate google with every update unfortunately but yes they're gradually locking down android...but as usual I'll keep attempting it lol and if I can break it like the updater script then it'll Def be back for us

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] scaniajoe:
Hello everyone. I wanted to try this rom, I just can not in any way to make a backup when booting into recovery philpz ... thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
A little more info, please...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea dude we need to know a few things like what mega do you have i9205 ii9200 metro sprint ect? Did you odin flash 4.4? What version of Philz? From op? Ect we need some detail to even attempt an answer

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I didn't see this earlier...first off lmao been there done that where you sit back like...sh*t...lesson learned check...not doing this again lol...yea I posted the results in the op of the performance difference of a dirty flash of v2 vs clean flash and install like 95 apps...with xposed and wanam which slows the benchmarks a litle...there was almost 600 points lower on dirty flash vs clean...throw in tb issues, storage and restore issues and your Mega is a mess lol...idk why tb even includes the backup restore option anymore i always joke it's the most amazing useless app I own since all its good for now is freezing a few google apps lol

Excellent funny write up/warning man great post

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vampirexx:
Thank you Megalo you are very kind and helpful mate!! I fixed the keyboard problem as you told me i just needed to download italian language pack then set again the options and it works!! Thank you!! Abou theme question yes i spoke about the theme gui not the launcher. I used nova and it works fine but since your rom is awesome fluid i dont want to get slowly and heavy with launchers and other demons. So before i used cm11 from Silesh that is a very good rom and i could change theme style and turn the phone style into a Miui v5 that i love! So can i do it with that program you told me wanam? And will this get slow your rom?

I d also like to ask you will u plan to release a miui rom for mega 6.3 please lots of people would love it.

And whats the difference between megakat deodex and the other rom v12 you released?

Thanx a lot and sorry for my noobish question mate! ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
No problem dude...no you cannot theme touchwiz at least not how your asking...you can take apart the launcher and mod it rebuild and all that...but those other roms are aosp and that is part of cm11 not any rom particular...it's just the cm11 launxher basically...no nothing should slow the rom down...i have 215 apps on my mega lol and I get the kinda scores I been posting almost 9000 in quadrant...wanam let's you do this like in my photos below this is my personal theme using wanam...lastly no I don't do theme builds because between wanam and a launcher like nova you can do whatever them you want in a reboot vs being stuck with someone else's likes and taste.

The differnt in megakat roms and megafire is megakat are 4.4 kit kat based roms and megafire like v12 is 4.2 jelly bean based...not much difference between them...when fewer now with v2 and v12 but the base roms are differnt...but you can use are launcher like nova and theme it or use touchwiz like it is...either way the rom won't slow down...i have 9 launchers installed and set up I like to play with or use for a few days for a change up from tw.....it will actually get faster over a week or so then settle in lol enjoy

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vampirexx:
Wow you re marvellous thanx for your ultra fast tips and answer!! Then i keep stay on mega kat that is 4.4?

Just the last question if i have to format the phone im with your rom megakit v2 can i format data and devil cache then install base kitkat then phil consolle then re su permission then you re v2 zip file patch all these steps from phil recovery? Or should i only use Odin to be safe? Thanx again
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
If you need to wipe just have whatever rom you wanna use on your mega (i think this is the only 4.4 rom right now lol) on your external sd card...Reboot into Philz. ..Wipe factory reset, wipe dalvik, wipe cache....install megakat v2 again let finish flashing...boot...reboot into recovery (flash kernel now if i9200 owner, if i9205 owner skip to root)...re root system done..we're done using odin after you do the base rom update to kk...after that jut use recovery to wipe and flash

Mega

Do you have i9205 or i9200? That may change things a little with my answer
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vampirexx:
Thanx for answer i have i9205 mega 6.3
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Then you shouldn't have to mess with odin again at all for any of the megakat updates

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vampirexx:
Thank you mate! I installed wanan and see that there s much settings and color picker palettes. No gui changing anyway.. so i d like to ask you if is it possible to next version to import the theme and apps from s5.. is it possible and are you ibterested about this since graphics is better than touchwiz classic
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
No I don't do theme builds...you can already use the method I posted a few pages back for getting the theme of the s5 in quick toggles...but the launcher from the s5 would look ridiculous blown up on the mega screen man...it's a 4x4 grid...just download a launcher like nova if you wanna themed launcher...otherwise wanam does this kinda thing

Mega

I like nova and apex...galaxy launcher is amazing for free and s5 themed
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Here's my nova launcher setup on the mega with s5 icons and s5 weather widget ...you don't need to hassle with a theme when you have wanam and launchers

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jk0l:
Hey mega,

I decompiled and saw that there are codes and files which support flashlight quick toggle in notification panel.

But in this youtube video, I don't see it. Just wondering.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
Lol. And if i understand bubba is your dog?

Anyway i am considering rooting my tab 4 10.1 sm-t530 but i am not sure because i will lose root (but i found a towel root that should not trip knox) but if i am going to use towelroot, whats the next step? I think i get the root files and then install super user or maybe immidiatly install recovery.

But if i do this i immidiatly backup stock rom and then flash a touchwiz based rom (need help finding a good one would appreciate some help) with knox removed... I found 1 stock rom thats modified pretty cool but the dev is a nooby dev...

But i dont know what will happen after rooting, if knox wont trip ill still have warranty and 8mmidiatly flash a other rom to make sure knox will never trip, but i have an insurance running for the thing (against damage, theft and everything) so i dont know the rules about rooting with insurance.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea that's a pickle...depending on your individual country/carriers rules and regulations root may void all warranty and possibly void your insurance thru a tampering clause....Basically what the us does if they enforce it which is rare ime tbh...nonetheless root/recovery will undoubtedly trip Knox warranty fuse that's the point of it unfortunately...the trade off and stance I have on it is always...99.99% of the software side I can fix myself via odin or recovery so really unless it's hardware related (which likely won't boot in that case) how would they know?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
Well when they found a way to fix your hardware issue and boot it they will know and charge the full payment up you ass lol.

But i never break my phones in a hardware way... Of all my 10 devices i had and sold none of them broke by my hand... Except my mega for now but fixed it myself.

But i heard that in europe that rooting wont void warranty, only stupidity will.

But i think ill root it if i find a good rom already found one deodexed and zip aligned and knox free but the dev is not really a dev.

I need to do some searching on deodexed touchwiz roms for the thing
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I've never heard of Samsung warranty ever repairing a single phone or device they swap it out with a refurbished one that's why you get it back so fast... and is wiped. ..i know those local service centers can fix bits...but your confusing you breaking the screen with the internal hw failing which are not the same thing...Idk how you could use it without root/rom? Or really any android imo

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
Well actually, the touchiz stock official is pretty good on my tab, great performance and battery man, but i want some customisation on it like blurr ui and more.

Btw i was thinking about just to try this for fun on my mega and see what happens. You descibed in the op to change some build.prop lines... The ones that changes parts of the ui to get the galaxy s5 theme on your mega... I wanted to try to use the model number of my tablet instead of the sm-n900S number and see what will happen. I think because of the big screen difference it will fail
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
So until I have more information I feel it's necessary to notify any and all of you especially given the numbers and length of time many of you have used my roms continually....

it has just been brought to my attention that someone is using my name in the headline of their op..djraz with some s5 rom port?...apparently using the identical udne4 base...i have never worked with anyone on my roms nor have I ever authorized anyone to use the roms I've spent hundreds of hours over several years crafting, developing, refining, and enhancing for the benefit of all of us...i don't want anyone thinking I have anything to do with that rom good or bad...but this kind of behavior is the very thing I've railed against so hard in my threads and don't want any of my rom users deceived by this...hopefully it will get cleared up soon...otherwise this may be the end of an Era for me with developing for the mega....sorry but the time and effort that gets put in to turn around and have someone else just slapped your name on their work for credibility or worse and what I'm really hoping didn't happen as I almost ceraintly will stop working here is ripping off my work...

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I promised I would update you guys....so after several pm djraz confirmed he completely ripped off my MegaKat rom after lying and denying it to everyone publically repeatedly....so not only did he steal my rom without even bothering to ask but proceeded to ruin it becuase he's an idiot that has no clue what he's doing and thought it was completely cool to rip off the 100s of hours of work it put into making these roms what they are....everyone that's used megakat knows the enhancements and benefits it's not difficult...it's completely offensive and insulting and I pm a copy of our conversation to the mods...

The funniest part that djraz doesn't know is I have 13 keys signed into my builds hidden in plain sight so the second that build goes live I'll know instantly...lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
OK so I've Def gotten a bunch of information about this situation...as well as a few back and forth in pm from the dude himself...it was a completely assh*le move to pull by him to jack anything from anyone especially after I've spent years and over 50 builds just on the mega alone trying to improve all of our experiences with our devices...i cant punish the tens of thousands of you that have used my roms for years and download every single update especially having no other quality option to turn to and almost no dev work outside of mine...hopefully this is just a blip of the map and this kinda shady duchiness can fade quietly away...it's a shame common courtesy and respect are not universal...that said let's get back to the fun of tinkering and improving our Mega's...enjoy My real rom lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
Lol i knew this was coming.

Would be weird if there where no actual updates from first release, and when the actual megakat gets updated, his rom gets updated the same time... hmm pretty weird. its so sad that people are so greety for a spot on the list. But you cant stop this, nobody can.

But porting a s5 theme on the mega would be so easy with the rom already done by you, and only just edit the build.prop and some files etc... wow impressive man if you could do that... try to be a bit sarcastic here but really its a shame people do this. Even the other dev got hit by him.

I actually liked his way to call in the moderator lol, moderator, please show this ****** the door please.

But how did you find out about this so fast?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Just the sheer number of mega users that use my roms...and the fact it was literally the only tw 4.4.2 deodex rom ever posted for the mega i9205 until another s5 port was posted i just saw,in the main thread...same with 4.4.4 tw for the metro mega...i got a pm last night before bed ...and several more by morning...

Theres nothing to stop...most people respect and appreciate being given something completely free that will dramatically improve your device and save people money by extending the life and quality experience of their phones...very few ime have tried to pay me back by screwing me over or ripping off my work...

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
I just took a look in his threads... all of them. Having a hard time reading it... DO SOMETHING TO HIS ENGLISH PLEASE.

But his only running thread is for s5 ported apps... s5 lockscreen... who did he rip off this time, maybe the guy who made those galaxy lockscreens from the play store (they are currently removed from google, a good moment for him to take it)

Its so god****** sad. If someone on my school done this to something i made i would kick him into the river next to the building at -1°.

I also like the way androidslave responded on it lol,

Joke

Rom never existed- what to expect

Im sure

Maybe v4 will come out before a working link for v1 is posted, maybe it have components from android 6 and note 25

Genious guy, had to laugh. The guy didnt even responded first, lure him out of his corner and wait untill he gets annoyed.

If i where building a rom i would not even publish it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Lmao whoa dude those are masterful comments...i didn't read thru it in just saw the op and was like uhh wtf is my dev tag doing front and center on this op banner for?...and who the f is this? Lol i was more confused than anything at first like wait what is happening here?

Edit: I mean dude today was the first time I've seen the mega general dev thread in around a year...just went over and notified the moderators of the Italian forum he's got my roms posted and found other ripoffs he and the giugra did with my roms...

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
I also read his questions and answers thread. Like what is his point, what is he trying to accomplish in this damn world.

But what the weird part is, he got the same devices as me... Dafuq?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Wow....i just decompiled "their" rom....they literally didn't change a single thing of mine...the entire rom is literally unzipped and s5 modded apks prolly ripped off XDA pasted in...zipped up and repackaged...note 4 touch controller, my modded camera, rendering mods and all...ya..except by removing half the modded apks they wrecked most of the enhancements hahahahahah....they're seriously that stupidly ignorant....i had to download it from some shady random website they post on...i just sent the moderators another rather strongly worded message with screen shots of my roms side by side...
