Im on megakat hahah, Not seen any weird buggy things besides that the buffer screws me. Anyway i did a big mopping up of the megas storage and got it fully clean, not seeying much difference between have it full of crap. Everything runs smooth now.

Yesterday i tryd AICP rom (adroid ice cold project) they really need to fix the system lol. The only custom rom i am happy about was dirty unicorns and resurrection remix (unfortunately they called it a day untill new android versions) but rest of them are soooo buggy.

Thank god, samsung finally has released the 4.4.2 kitkat firmware into the netherlands, man if you think about it if i didnt root and flashed the firmware in the op i had to wait the same time as the metro pcs guys hahah. This is just so sad, so so sad
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Wait what? You guys just got the official 4.4.2 Ota...now?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
For the people who stayed on the dutch version of 4.2.2 now have it ota yes, i already had it because of megakat ;) .

updates take a long time here, have seen it on my galaxy tab 2 7.0, when i rooted that thing i flashed the newer 4.2.2 version that was out for india or somewhere else and other people like my family have the same tabs and they had to wait like 4 months to upgrade from 4.1.2 lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
That's crazy dude...but even unrooted you can you any intl stock rom and flash with odin so at least there's that option...but still that's nuts cuz a lot of normal people have no clue what odin is or how to update beyond pushing Ota

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] latinohot:
Thanks to the community I now have a working Netflix
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
For some reason worked now... Thanks

Have not updated TWRP yet... When I have time I'll do. Thanks again

BTW KK stock is smoother than stock 4.2. Cannot imagine what MegaKat will be like... I think; Unbelievable Performance. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea it was slightly smoother but has slower animations. ..but yea dude megakat flies...to the point I still use my mega 95% of the time at home over my note 3 or note 4 even because megakat is so fast and smooth there's no real world difference anymore. ..it's just getting the time to get your build done

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
cool, yeah it is. though the battery life sucks. I think i got so spoiled by Mega man's ROMs. Dang you megalomanic14!!!! haha
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] latinohot:
So aside from uninstalling the new google play services so that most of google apps work, how can I stop the rampge of FC I get with the new play services and still use the apps like youtube, hangouts calling etc. etc
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Wait what? What is force closing? Of you have force closes you've deleted or frozen something integral to the system...you cannot delete google play service and use Google apps...if you did that's why they're force closing

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Don't worry megakat is not only super fast but the battery life is just as good as megafire...i easily go days without a charge...or heavy days pull around 5.5 to 6 hours full brightness running my cpu max clock 24/7 lol...been loving megakat v12 haha

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] latinohot:
Wait what? What is force closing? Of you have force closes you've deleted or frozen something integral to the system...you cannot delete google play service and use Google apps...if you did that's why they're force closing

Mega

Nope, clean install and I mean really clean install

But after the new google play services updates the first thing I get is fc on location based apps, like weather, truck stops that rely on location to show you the closest location to you, what if the not allowing google location on phone is messing with it, but nope that's the 1st thing I tried.

What sucks is that every time I turn gps on that's when the fc happens
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
That's a bummer man...i dont doubt it being a google apk would be the one to wreck your system...but whats really strange is they must be pushing a different version out to you becuse mine is at 6.1.74 and its finally working normally...6.1.17 had some weird bugs and terrible drain, and 6.1.71 was terrible but those 2 were only out for a few days before 6.1.74...maybe your on one of the bad ones somehow....if you install this apk you should be fine...its running on both my Mega's, note 3, note 4, and note 12.2 without issue.

I think I may have coined this long ago heh

Btw I didn't try during stock but at least after root I cannot access security settings... downloaded tb and going to try and freeze knox junk
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I've been saying this was happening since the day google announced android L had knox in the source last june...shame I'll never buy another android...hence why I bought a note 4 as I wanted to ensure one last hoorah with true android as I know it since I knew 4.4.4 was the end of root and roms...shame they used the development community to test and develope 3/4 of what's made android as we know it today...and in a single update removed any chance of us being able to continue doing what we've all loved and made us the fans we are today...how stupid is google and these manufactures to think this is a good idea...they think we buys phone after phone to run stock? We as a community are the only people who buy multiple devices in a contract period ect yet we are the ones they turn on...crazy...thankfully I have a few kits that I love i just can't believe it right as we transition to the most powerful chips ever to hit android with 64 bit processing they cut us down at the knees...all we can do is hope a carrier or manufacturer doesn't lock the bootloader...and that somehow thru Selinux and knox lockouts we at least get root...but im more optimistic hoping as a fan/dev than chainfire who does it as a career...bummerman

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] latinohot:
I had the same version as you, but I installed your copy that you provided but the same results, as soon as the update install all I get instant fc of google play services, oh well I know is not the rom because it is happening on all the phones with the most recent google play services
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
I'm getting boot loop only when I go into security settings. You too?

I'm happy because of root but I'm stuck because I cannot install apk outside gp. :(

---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------

Yes, battery sucks. I see the percentage points dropping lol spoiled, I guess
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
hey bro i don't wanna confuse people your on stock kit kat not megakat...i just wanna make sure people don't misunderstand that...your talking root with stock...hes talking force closing google play services

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Have you greenified or disabled any system apps or functions...or simply flashed megakat and installed your apps and its doing its basically on clean flash? Because we're on the same rom and same apk and I'm not having any issues on that apk...im uploading another one I literally pulled from my system...if that force closes then someone's up with your setup...so ill post it in a sec when it's done...install install if fc I'd clean flash because something wrong tbh as all things equal you shouldn't have any issues

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] latinohot:
Clean install of V13 let it settle then install my 100+ apps, but as soon as it gets to update google play services that's when it fc
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Ok this is literally ripped from my system...like i said somethings up if this doesn't work...maybe uninstall updates for play services...then install this apk...if you still have issues clean flash becuase something is wrong

Mega

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] latinohot:
Uninstalled the previous app, As soon as I installed your copy that fc happens, I'll do another clean install tomorrow thanks for your help
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Did you wipe the data and cache for play services? And does this only occur say once a reboot or peridically just at random?

Wait you said you weren't using any mods...but you're using wanam or something and have several mods to theme your status bar...are you sure you haven't modded other parts of the system?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] latinohot:
I unistalled wanam thinking that it was the cause of the issue and in its place I installed GB for kk

But the result is the same with or without mods

It seems to happen peridiocally or everytime I change location from gps to high acuracy or the other way around, and yes I wiped both data and cache any time I install any new app
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Gravity box is for aosp not tw roms...just clean flash it tomorrow and test it before activating anything or setting up anything esle becuse no one else is having issues as far as I know...and none of my devices are either

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] latinohot:
After unistalling xposed mods one by one I found the offending app, it was the one I suspected all along "disable google location consent" the name says it all, could you install it on your end and see if it causes issues for you too?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Lol no dude...thats obviosuly the one doing it...just disable it in location Settings without the mod

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
I thought he had the Metro pcs sorry.

I think 444 is even more stringent as I'm having issues after root. Might just flash again and stick with stock for a bit until proper rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
No worries just making sure for anyone else...yea I've been hearing things about it getting tons of N4 ?? with 4.4.4....i think a lot of people stayed on 4.2 tbh because you an bnb are like 2 of the few wanting a rom for metro mk...that or they're waiting for it but I haven't heard from many people on metro mega like most other devices

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] latinohot:
After having found the offending app on the Mega I went ahead and uninstall it on my Note 3, S4, Lg Thrill 4G 3D and no more issues, thanks mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Awesone dude I'm glad we tracked it down...yes I hate and despise google apps...my suggestion go into location Settings and turn reporting and history off and set gps to med or low and the will effectively do what the mod did without breaking services

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] latinohot:
So where did you get your Note4?

And how do you like it?

And did you think like I did that the next Mega was going to be bigger say at least 6.5
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
I"ve had that problem try going into application manager, find the play services. clear the cache and data then uninstall update, reboot. open google play and it should update fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Tmobile...uh it's a great device but it's almost identical to my note 3 tbh...especially with my firekat rom already scoring 24k quadrant on n3...have my n4 tweaked scoring 25/26k doesn't do anything in real terms you know...so it's just really hard to judge it fairly becuase the price vs benefit is so off balance...plus I was really annoyed to find the screen isnt even the same size as n3 but actually 2.2 mm narrower than advertised...so that didnt make things any better...with all the android L lockout I really wanted to make sure I had one last awesone phone I could root and rom like usual an i knew n4 would be the last as I haven't heard of mega 6.3 2nd Gen unfortunately only that little mega 2

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] wooz:
I'm facing a strange issue on my i9205: WLAN cannot be turned on. The switch jumps back to OFF immediately. This happens right after the first boot.

I'm coming from CM 11 and did a complete wipe. I'm using TWRP 2.7.0.5 (silesh). No su, no exposed whatsoever. Clean install.

Any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
you have to think that: mostly 60% to 80% of all android devices have at least been rooted once, the whole community would fall when root will be disabled and when they fall, the devs, oems etc will drop like a sack of sand on the ground. Custom roms, rooting and all this stuff is also keeping the oems alive lol.

But this can also take an other turn, because some companys are living from the android rooting community, if they disable root they lose a damn amount of money. They just dont kill root, they kill themselves.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Go back and follow my instructions...idk why you'd flash my rom and not use the recovery and stock rom i provided that says specifically you must use these...

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Dude where did you pull this 60 to 80% number...the last I saw it was something like 10% of all androids...but regardless of how many phones are rooted this still it goes to a deeper point of what do they gain by blocking us from root...and it's simply to force people into buying devices sooner than becuse root only gives you ability to run faster more efficient smoother roms like megakat and port new features...thats all it does....and this is exactly what manufacturer and carriers want to avoid us doing...regardless how small of a community we are...there will be no roms or recovery and with root being even questionable I'm suggesting everyone buy whatever mew devices your planning on sooner than later and getting prepared ahead of time

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] latinohot:
This is complete bull**** from android and the big companies that follow suit, I started my modding days with a motorola V635 and been hooked ever since, now they want to take the ability to make my phone completely mine wtf
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea dude completely agreed...im super pissed about it for the fact that Google specifically has benefited from our development community because it was devs in places like here on XDA that pushed android further and further...i mean look at those clowns can't even push out nexus roms that aren't buggy as hell or push out app updates that drain 35% of our battery per charge....goggle is the worst software company their is and that's all they do ...now that it's become a polished os they lock us out from the ability to even do basic customizations....i mean punting roms is bad but gutting root completely is just pathetic for them to simply try an sell more devices in a shorter window than 18 months...ill never buy another new device again...only older models with 4.4.4 and earlier on them that way at least for the forseeable future I have a normal kit to run until I see if another os like tizen is realistic or were just screwed. ...as like chainfire said once 1 carrier or manufacturer does it...they'll start marketing a smarter more secured android and everyone will follow suite...just unbelievable

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] wooz:
shame on me ... RTFM I guess

It works perfectly now. Great ROM from what I can tell so far. Many thanks for your work!

Anyone know some new launcher available? (please dont say apus launcher cause that one sucks so bad)

Been on tsf shell for a while but they have to fix some stuff, nova launcher has been pretty awesome lately, new animations and more.

What I don't like about that launcher is that I can't move the app launcher to the middle

Fake wp8 is really cool. Smart Launcher is unique, and Nova is well known.

Not sure if you are still using 444 KK on Metro but I and a few people seem to be having issues once root. Seems like a settings issue. Lockscreen and Security Settings cannot be opened and goes into Reboot. Did you resolve or not have these issues??? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Do any of the international Mega's support T-Mobile bands? If they do, where can I get one? I am sick of this stupid MEtroPCS junk... grrr lol

All i9205 or i9200 work on tmo and att...just that you can get lte on att or tmo you'll be limited to hspa plus which on tmo is around 4 to 8 mbs up to a max of around 11 mbs give or take...if it matters to you as I have grandfathered unlimited att yet carry my mega as much or more than my att note 3 or tmobile note 4 both of which work on lte and get around 50 Mbs at my house...but since I hardly need that kinda speed when I'm not at home it really has never been an issue for me on my mega to get around 13 mbs vs 50 Mbs...but yea just pop in your sim and your golden

Guys my bad I thought I had posted this in the op2 a while back...i already figured out the issue with viper and kit kat a few weeks ago...

Basically on kit kat the new audio Codec has different drivers and integral system frameworks...one new change is the low power audio...which had been a part one android for a while but with the changes to kk interferes with viper...so i figured out the viper apk and driver wasn't properly disabling the lpa codes...so an easy fix to guarantee viper consistency...

Using root explorer or root browser...

System

Open Build.prop as editable text

Scroll down a few "paragraphs" of code until you find these 3 codes...

lpa.decode=true

tunnel.decode = true

tunnel.audiovideo.decode=true

Now viper will properly change one sometimes 2 to false...but all 3 need to be =false...

Change them to

lpa.decode=false

tunnel.decode=false

tunnel.audiovideo.decode=false

Click save and exit..**of using root explorer delete build prop.bak then reboot...finish setting up viper as usual enjoy

Wait, dont you get the better 4G network, or is it only vodafone.

i had 25MBs/50MBs they bumped it up to 75MBs

I downloaded a rom in a couple of minutes lol
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Nah man no international phones work on lte in the us...that's why carriers have us over a barrel...not only did they cut out all unlimited plans except those of us that got grandfathered in....but they also have control over the frequencies and radio...so for instance I bought a tmobile note 4 for full price to get lte still but be able to root and rom whereas I could've gotten att note 4 on subsidy for 300 but locked bootloader so no rooms or root...it's a fked up situation man metro isn't the only ish carrier. ..they all are

As for speed...att is the fastest in the us in mist places...tmobile advertises lte and their network literally doesn't even have the technology to support lte...they only have hspa plus 42 in 10 cities yet are allowed to advertise lte...plus tmobile has all but stopped doing any building or network upgrades because their financial hurting badly and are trying to force a buyout...their president John ledger has essentially ruined a promising company....the us is dirty corrupt corporate business haven... that's who benefits from everything here man...apple is allowed to use she'll companies to withhold paying 12 billion dollars In taxes yet if I didn't pay taxes I'd be in jail...

My dad actually owns of the largest cellular development companies in the us...and has built/builds about 85% of all the towers in the us over the past 30 years up to and continuing today....the stuff carriers here are allowed to do is disgusting....it's crazy the amount of money they waste and the way they do business...like carriers here throttle our data and offer mere 2 gb plans for like 100 a month...where the system my dad put in place he said can easily handle something like 100x the bandwith they're currently handling... But they use the excuse of traffic to justify slow speeds and throttling ect such a dirty shady business on the carrier side...Verizon have way more towers than anyone right. ..but they're so greedy they shut down entire chunks of their network and random simply to save money regardless of the problems or issues it causes the customers trying to call or pull data...

the only cool thing with the carrier is that 5g has already begun being built which will take us over the 100 mbs mark, pushing us toward 150 mbs and my dad says as long as Ericson and Samsung finish everything on time a new generation of 5g Lte with VoLte will be pushing between 300 mbs and 1 gig per second speeds. ..near fiber optic data speeds...so the future is looking also metro too bad the phones will all be locked down harder than apple ios lol

The government and the political guys here are actually doing something about the carriers here man, but there will be always some "small letters".

I saw all the stuff when i was in france man, those prices are sooooo damn high for so little stupid thing and also paying like 200 extra for tge phone, my grandma lives in france and got here phone there paying alot of money for a small phone that costs 150 quid and the ass**** behind the counter of the phone store took here phone to install the stuff she needs, he put a hacked simcard and sd card in it, here whole phone got hacked in a week and she still needed to pay everything for the phone, if i could speak french i would discuss this at the store lol.
