No because greenifying system processes or functions can cause stability issues in the rom as well as performance or battery issues...obviously depending on what's done with it...but i dont use it myself. .the op2 is my literal setup/method...

I have it activated and dont have problems... but it isnt saving that much battery either. And i am to lazy to turn it off and reboot my phone so ill just keep it like it is

I can't believe this dude...this dude pm and goes hey can i use your rom zip as my own i wanna put a rom out...ugh no I only spent like 30 hours on it make your own don't steal my work what good does that benefit anyone having 2 of the same rom out. ..

This is a head up if you see a random tw rom that looks oddly identical to megakat...considering the complexity and difficulty to make them...no one else has in 8 months so it shouldn't be hard to spot if he rips off my roms...lol

Hi

Can I have the skeleton zip file of i9200. I want to build my own ROM. I have the .tar ROM. I can't offord to download 1.1 GB file :) (having a limited slow connection)

Thanks in advance[/QUOTE]

No you cannot use my rom to make another rom...ive spent dozens of hours perfecting it...plus

you already have the stock rom downloaded that you need to break apart to make your own rom? I'm guessing you don't know how? As if you knew how you would know stealing my work isnt the way to make a rom but pulling apart the .tar you already have is exactly the right way...but why do all that work when you can steal it after i spend the time and hassle to bring you guys thr best roms possible...but why would you try to use my rom zip that ive put so much time into as you wouldn't have made anything yourself as it doesn't benefit anyone else but you....and it wouldn't be another rom option I'd just be you copying my rom and trying to pass it off like your own...dirty

You'd simply be copying my rom as it wouldn't be your rom you'd just putting your name on my rom and work?...that's not how things are done on xda....these roms are only here to benefit people's experience not trick them into thinking there's more rom options avaliable than there is, or providing work you know nothing about nor could you properly support the users since it's all my work...you don't use other people's work dude...this isn't a base Deodex to be used to port your own build...ive spent dozens of hours trying to perfect the rom and now that the difficult tooling and building is done you wanna drop some apps in it and call it your own lol?...no you cannot use my completely rebuild and heavily time consuming rom and call it your own

Lmao seriously dude...i couldn't believe it...i dont get why you'd even wanna do it...it doesn't even add anything to the dev threads...it'd be like me posting megakat 2 in another thread...here's a random copy of my rom in a new thread...guess common sense isn't as common as i once expected

The funny part is there's 13 dev tags i put all thru my builds to recognize if this ever happened that no one could ever recognize but me lol...that will be hilarious to call out...

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kkcheong:
Thanks to megalomanic14 for creating this rom. Its been awesome. As always, I freeze all the apps that I don't use daily.

However, I have one question. If Dalvik cache deletion is necessary? So far I'm still using my Mega without clearing of any cache.

From unrooted 4.2.2:-

a) flash official rom 4.4.2 (from the front page)

b) flash CWM from Philz

c) flash Megakat

d) root

I didn't do any clearing of cache or hard reset.

At first, I find downloading and installing of Titanium Backup Pro extremely slow. LOL... But now downloading and installing stuff seems to improve.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
You shouldn't use titanium after 4.2.2 as its causing soft bricks left and right. ..should you yes if you want the full performance and battery life out of the rom...is it as important strait from Odin flashing kk not like flashing over a previous rom...not really...but it doesn't make sense not to...as your only hurting your own experience by taking a shortcut that saves you maybe 10 minutes lol ur call...if it wasn't beneficial i would arbitrarily recommend it not would I personally clean flash all 11 of my devices every time I flash anything

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kkcheong:
Thanks for replying. I'm actually reading your steps 1 by 1 for "Mega i9205 First Time User's Instructions". I didn't see any wipe cache or hard reset instruction :p. LOL..

So to improve further my phone, are you recommending:-

a) full wipe/hard reset

b) or Dalvik cache wipe only

Do I need to flash your ROM again using Philz CWM after full wipe? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
No not coming of Odin Flash as that already wiped dalvik and cache lol...but any time you ever Philz flash always clean flash It

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kkcheong:
Oh hahaha... thanks for the info :laugh:. I'm new in flashing Samsung phone using ODIN. I'm only flashing HTC last time :crying:.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kkcheong:
I realised that if I listen to MP3 through Poweramp, and connected through bluetooth (to LG Tone+ 730), my battery drop 10% per hour. Is this normal?

Most backgroup apps already being frozed by TBP. Only left Google Play and other minor services.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Follow op2 for optimal setup

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kkcheong:
Thanks. Did that straight after flashing your ROM. Did the dvsf disabling. I assume dvsf is major contributing factor in power consumption and heat.. Can feel Mega is less hot.

Nothing much is running. See the attached. No AutoKill.

I suspect probably:-

1) bluetooth drain

2) Poweramp drain due to high bitrate

3) etc
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Well battery life and performance won't even reach peak for a couple charge cycles...the roms alone run 17 degrees cooler than stock dvfs drops another 3 or 4 but it'd mainly all the renderinf power control rebuilding I did as long as you dont use power saving...greenify downloaded apps and let it settle

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kkcheong:
Opps... I did have Power Saving turned on. Ok, now I turn off already. Hope for the best for the next few charge cycle. Or do I need to clear Dalvik cache again? :D

Oh by the way, the Titanium Backup I use mainly for freezing apps. Seems like ok. May I know what is the soft bricking issue with TBP with 4.4.2 again? :p

PS:- really run cooler than before.

After I disable the Power Saving, the percentage of battery stop dropping at alarming rate. Thanks for the tips. Sorry I miss out disable Power Saving in your OP2 tips. :svetius::victory::highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
The issue with titanium is that after 4.2 the system of android changed and got more complex wan much more security esp on 4.4.2....unfortunately tb has never been updated to be fully stable and tbh Idk if it ever could be but that mainly restoring apks and data.. I dont recommend freezing a bunch of system apks either tho...its typically counterproductive as I already optimized the build so much that you run more risk of instability than stand to gain in performance or battery life ...op2 is my literal setup method

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kkcheong:
Oh, I didn't freeze system apks... I only freeze those bloatware like the Samsung Hub and stuff (the list that posted in your OP2, most of it, I freeze it). I also freeze Facebook, Waze, etc, those that show up in the background running (though I should've use Greenify but using TBP is making sure it stay frozen lol).

Anyway, will check battery consumption without power saving for these few days. Awesome ROM!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
I just downloaden and flashed philz touch version 6.48 (latest version) i got the zip file from phill himself, havent test the restore option yet but i hope it doesnt brake some apps and system parts anymore
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
My Philz has no trouble restoring my backups dude lol idk what you mean about break apps and system? Mines worked fine since I started building mk?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
Well remember i said that i had a philz touch by someone we cannot speak about his thread. I had a few problems with it and one of those where when restoring backups of touchwiz, it would break a few litlle system things that arent that really important and snapchat and whatsapp could not load or save data... And few other problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Oh yea his but why were you not just using the one that was posted in mk?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
Uhm cause the laptop i wanted to use was so slow and was to busy with rooting my htc wich failed, i shut off the laptop and went to bed. Totally forgot that i wanted to flash your philz touch. And after a anti virus scan on the laptop i saw that there was again a trojan virus on it so i actually in that case will not connect my phones to it.

Also spyware, malware and alot of adwares were found in the history from august 2014 untill now. There is still something that is adding those things in the system. But i will do all my rooting stuff this week with an other pc so i can wait.

If the laptop only had adware i would connect my phones but a trojan is a different story that i want my phones to be kept out of
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
ah yea not having stable Odin def makes a clean setup tough

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
Yep, thats why i gave it up lol.

My htc just got another update... Man they really take update support so serious. But still 4.4.3 ... 2 months left to get Lollipop on it... But i think i prefer an cyanogenmod based android L on it instead of the official (the htc is from vodafone remember, locked away from root when updating)

You know what i think? I think that carrier based phones like from MetroPCS, Vodafone, Tmobile etc they will lock us away from root. But what about phones without contract... No carrier nothing.

I think that phones that are not carrier based will still be rootable. If i got this right, google added that option for carriers that want to lock us away, but they didnt say anything about the original phones untouched by donkeys. (I can be wrong cause i havent checked this for a while)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Manufacturers can lock the device as well as carriers on 5.0 and up unfortunately...well just have to wait and see...either way it's not looking good anantech did a performance breakdown and lollipop has serious performance issues due to so much security and lock downs...the encrypted build which almost all are encrypted is over 50% slower than the unencrypted dev build...

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kkcheong:
After one day, I think I can safely say disable Power Saving Mode is very important. Bluetooth MP3 only eat around 5% per hour after disabling the Power Saving Mode. Probably you might want to put this step into the Op2.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
It's in the op2 lol..its the final point of the list....you're never supposed to use my roms with power saving mode...and a quick search would've showed other posts as well...enjoy man

Mega

and I told you the same thing the other day...lmao
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kkcheong:
:crying: I keep on searching for "save" and cannot find it in your Op2 :eek:. Yeah, you did tell me yesterday.

Yes!!! Enjoying the ROM now. Very fast and very power saving and very cool (no more hot phone). :good::D
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Lol no worries man just breaking your balls...yea just basically leave power saving off and use the other features as normal...enjoy bro

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] orangekid:
You don't happen to have this ROM in Odin flashable form do you?

I flashed the KK stock update thru Odin and now my SD card won't come up as a drive anymore (like it thinks my computer is a charger) and ADB Push says my SD card is full when it's not. Figured if you already had this in tarball form I could try flashing it (since I want to end up on this ROM anyways) and see if it fixes my SD card but and no wifi bug that I currently have... using i9205 btw.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Did you skip flashing the base rom i posted or flash a different base kk rom? The only issue with wifi is not following my instructions for Flashing megakat...you have to use the files and instructions posted in op...no I don't make odin flashable roms

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] orangekid:
I did flash the base KK you linked, it updated everything but the modem.

Not sure what's going on with my phone but I am thinking it might be a region thing..

Either way I'll figure it out and get to zip flashable capability...

Sent from my 1+bacon.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Ah no your Odin failed to flash properly...download a different version of Odin and reflash stock then go from there clean and you'll be set

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] orangekid:
Tried Odin 3.07 and now 3.09, same thing. It says successful flash on every single thing, and reboots. This is using the ROM you have linked in your OP:

I9205XXUDNE4_I9205TPHDNE4_I9205XXUDNE4_HOME.tar

For some reason the modem isn't flashing if you look at my baseband version it's still the Jellybean one... Again, the non-hlos.bin is successful as is everything else, but the only thing I can think of is wrong region ROM possibly, who knows though... Might just need to find a separate modem flash file or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
Can you post the exact order you do from odin to flashing megakat? Maybe mega or me can then see what you are doing wrong or if something is not working properly. If you are reflashing the stock firmware again try to download it again and flash it with odin3.09
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] orangekid:
Exact order is:

1) Download the ROM file (KK Base ROM)

2) Downloaded Odin 3.07

3) Extracted ROM file

4) Flashed the KK base ROM via Odin 3.07

5) booted up the phone, no WiFi, no SD Card (it thinks my computer is a charger), no data. IMEI shows fine and phone works so I know EFS is fine.

6) Check the about screen and see my baseband version looks off (see my screen shot above).

7) downloaded Odin 3.09 and did the same steps listed above, same issue.

8) Now I am looking for another region version, my box is in french (I bought it retail the day it came out, I live in America but AT&T didn't have it then) so maybe I need a french ROM? Who knows...

Let me know what other info you might need. I walk people thru issues on Nexus devices, HTC devices, and older Samsungs. I really wish Samsung just used fastboot and I could manually flash just a modem file etc. without having to pack my own tar ball in linux and praying everything goes right with Odin.

Hopefully there's a simple fix here and I can get on megakat ROM... I'm glad this phone still has some active development. :)

edit: FYI I never even got to megakat, I am just trying to get stock to work fine first...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
So you say that you want to use fastboot instead of the easy use of odin? Man i have a htc one m7ul with thr full **** package (locked bootloader and have to root it)

In the 3 weeks i have that thing trying to use the command prompt to unlock and root it i get frustrated and mad and i quit doing it lol. I hate the prompt so much and odin on my mega is so easy. But so far i can only think of you flashed something that is posted for the i9200 but that would be weird as you are pretty familiar what to flash on what model.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea you need to use Odin 3.07...you need to download a different version Odin 3.07....other have had the same issue with Odin esp 3.09 not flashing baseband and bootloader properly if you do a simple search man this has already been covered...this will happen until you get the base properly flashed

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] orangekid:
that's fine but I downloaded Odin 3.07 from 4 different sites. I've flashed the ROM literally like 20 times now, using different forms of Odin, both 3.07 and 3.09 (like different forms of each).

But I will keep trying... I'll find every version of 3.07 I can

edit:

and be aware I am not trying to turn your ROM thread into my own personal support thread, I am trying to get on to your ROM and this turned into more of an issue than it should have...

edit 2:

Your OP says you personally use Odin 3.09, but you're saying here not to use 3.09, correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Just wait and when I get home I'll upload mine later on tonight...or there may be posted linked ones from the posts before but this is a known issue that'd been covered multiple times in this thread i suggest you search and check out as much info as you can

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] orangekid:
Trust me I have read a LOT about this since I ran into it. I didn't just come in here kicking the door down guns blazing. I literally have 6 versions of odin 3.07 on my computer right now and 3 versions of 3.09. But I will read over the thread again just to make sure and see if I missed a link someone posted to a working Odin version.

Thanks for your help on this, I look forward to using your ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea no worries I'm not busting you balls on this...its an oddity tbh...the first time in the hundreds of stock roms I've flashed under my builds and it's never happened to me before. ..but even I went thru it thr first time I tested the stock base on release day last year when kk dropped...its a bi*ch but when you get to the rom it'll have been worth it lol...if no luck with the 3.07 try another 3.09 one it's just getting bootloader and baseband to flash that's the holdup

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] orangekid:
Yeah that's the only issue I have right now, I just tried it again with another 3.09, and same thing, baseband fails to update, it's like I'm sort of bricked or something.

The phone is originally an XEF (france) which apparently there is no 4.4.2 official for it, but it seems like everyone here is flashing the portuguese version no matter which one they had before and it seems to be working. I just also tried netherlands with no luck, I am about to try Spain and Italy and OH DAMN SON THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!

Literally as I type this RIGHT NOW my latest flash with 3.09 (ran it again while typing this) it restarted and WiFi now works!

Just checked my baseband and it's up to the correct version. Holy potato that what a headache that was!

OK, now for the fun stuff. But first my SD card won't show up on my computer in Android. ADB won't find it either. The phone thinks it's hooked up to a charger only.

Now I get to read another thousand pages about possibly fixing drivers or something... But I am on the way to running some megakat...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
OK now that you have a working Odin...you have to flash the stock rom posted in the op...then for sd card try removing it from the mega and hooking it strait to pc if you have an adapter...if not try just "unmounting" it in storage settings. ...then power down and put it back in....unfortunately if it's class 10 it may be having issues due to incompatibilities with android source code

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] orangekid:
I did flash the OP one, so now I am good to go I think on that.

The SD card worked fine on Jellybean and still works if I mount it from the latest philz, just not in Android which is weird.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Did you get megakat flashed alright?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
So heads up on megakat v16...I'm just about to flash the final build of mk v16 and start uploading it after...i took a little extra time knowing the improvement at least to this base rom are pretty much done...i actually ported the touchscreen controller from note 4 snapdragon s805 4.4.4 build. ..by doing so the speed of mega literally runs 1:1 with my note 3 now...after v16/v17 come out I'll prolly end up moving to another newer base rom as we proceed from here...for now v16 will blow your mind lol...will update later on as it's almost done uploading

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] orangekid:
I did, thanks!

SD mount works fine from recovery, just not in android, but i can live with that for now.

The ROM is running great and very responsive and snappy, a great thing for this phone and I'm excited about your new version.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Ok that's great dude I'm glad thr roms running well...

But that's super wierd man. ..have you tried flashing the stock kit kat rom again with odin to make sure everything in the mega is in tact? I'd also dump everything to your computer from the card....re format it in the mega then dump xyz back to the card...as it should would not only normal on the rom but I removed all sd lockouts so apps can store data on sd even on kk...do you remember what happened or what was going on just preceeding it stopping working?

Just do the odin flash as normal routine for updating to v16 to save the time and hassle
