megalomanic14 pls answer me on pm about my question.

And yes dude stock KK and even JB is amazing for me, as i said I've never had even a tiny little issue! no lag and very smooth and im not kidding! i had a lot of phones and all had problems with smoothness, random restarts regardless if it was stock or with some good custom roms, but my mega is lightning fast, im not happy only with camera performance in low light.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
It'd be hard when you didn't pm me lmao but yes the camera been improved but if your hesitant and somehow happy on the mega stock rom just stay on stock why test it?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] D4dan:
only because of a camera and geting a root :D

pls can u upload some photos from the megakat camera in low lights, I'll be very grateful :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
You don't need a rom to root your stock rom...just root it...but either you your warranty is gone...if I remember to later I may

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
I tried Nilesh Paranoid KK but had no clue what I was doing. I've rooted and installed many roms in my life but had no clue as to make it work. I may just bite the bullet when the Moto 360 comes along and be without WiFi... Hopefully stupid MetroPCS works soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
No offense to him cause that's what he does...but you know my feelings on ports...especially basic android ports...they always seem to be that way...buggy basic builds that vary mainly by the little number in about phone...imo a good rom should do nothing more than make things better faster snappier. ..if you want a different "theme" like stock (as that's all it is essentially a theme minus samsung features and enhancements) use a launcher and wanam gives you the same affect without going several steps back in quality and stability...i just never thought the trade off of performance, call quality, camera quality, and screen clarity was worth giving up for a port to have essentially the google now launcher as stock personally

Mega

Totally understand wanting to use 4.4 vs 4.2...but tbh there's no real benefit or gain and def is some downside tradeoff
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] D4dan:
hey megalomanic i flashed latest Philz recovery and done backup of current stock rom, do i need to wipe data/factory reset before install Megakat ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea for the best experience...but you can dirty flash it...make a backup of the rom with your updated apps ect after you get all setup...then clean flash it after that as well...that way you can have the option wither way...but clean flash will always give your best experience

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
My megakat theme

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] D4dan:
ok im on megakat :) but the camera quality is worse then stock sadly(maybe u forgot to enable camera tweaks in v5 for i9200) :( the pictures are blured out of focus and when they are on focus the quality is bad not sharp...and the size of the pictures are around 2-2,5mb, on stock they were around 3,5-4+
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Lmao dude check the settings you're prolly on like 4mp not 8mp lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] D4dan:
first i done that, it was on 6mp i changed to 8mp, i will upload later pictures to show quality and image sizes, im 99% sure u didnt enable camera tweaks in this V5 for i9200
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Lmao don't bother...do yourself a favor and restore your stock rom lol I'm 100% you don't know what you're talking about hahah

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] D4dan:
this was rude from your side! im not stupid and this is not my first phone or first flash,i flashed and modded 20 different phones like k800i, ku990,omnia hd, nokia n8, lg l5, samsung s2, s4 , note 1 and a lot others...im telling you i flashed megakat v5 and the camera is terrible and also i cleaned dust on the camera(i always do).
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Dude I'm sorry for laughing at you but please explain to me...if I left the camera identical to how samsung did it... even if I didn't touch it... it would be identical lmao...it's the same exact software and camera so please elaborate.... ps listing devices means nothing i have 10 sitting on my desk right and have built 150+ roms so idk what that means

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
The moment I downloaded "the file" I knew something was amiss. Less than 300mb for a rom? lol I just wanted to try KK. I want to see how it works and apparently many have made it work.

Dunno why I simply couldn't make it work. Oh, well. :) I am happy with the Megafire tbh. I know I will be forced to upgrade one the Moto 360 comes out to make it work. Who knows, maybe I'll just have it be a nice looking watch without all the perks lol

I am going to see if I can get MetroPCS to get me a rom or something...

Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Hahaha yea that's always a little scary...300 megs...where's the rest of it lol...yea man once metro gets you guys updated I told you I'll just do you guys a custom megakat build to avoid the hassle like I did the i9200...megafire is still neck and neck anyway...i think everyone knows my feelings toward kk lol I'm trying to overcome a bunch of the annoyances but it's def much harder than it was on 4.2 that's for sure so that's why I keep updating megafire cuz I think alot of people even on the i9205 choose 4.2 over 4.4 for one reason or another...but yea buddy when Metro gets off their ass I'll set you up

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] samueldewit:
I always change the animation time, I do not care for these animations. I did change the bootanimation, and it works perfectly :)

I am a big fan of stripped builds ! ^-^

Thanks again man (:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] D4dan:
[MENTION=5451734]megalomanic14[/MENTION], i changed in media_profiles video bitrate to 20mbps and image encoding quality to 100% and memcap to 20000000 and also added in build.prop lines: ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100

ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.bps=20000000

ro.media.dec.jpeg.memcap=20000000

but it doesnt work, what i'm doing wrong ?

i know that our mega with lg camera apk can record video with stable 20mbps and 30fps
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I know man I'm not either...i hate how exaggerated the effect is....thankfully between rebuilding tw launcher, tweaking the build and the animation settings were back to at least megafire speed or faster...not to mention the speed of nova pro on fast on v4 lmao just glad your digging the builds...the only hesitation for a stripped build is that there's 2 seperate roms, which would be 4 roms and vs you guys doing it yourself there's not much to gain on either side so I'm kicking it back and forth but at least considering it for you guys that like it

Root Working

This root zip is working
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Is this one breaking wifi and the system framework/sys ui? Or is it finally clean?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] yusopa:
There is problem with framework/sys ui? Because i dont face any problem till now with latest superSu 2.02. Or i miss understood? Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
No no no not with my builds or root I put together...but when kk first came out the few root kits out would all break wifi and parts of the system...i mean it doesn't really help anyway since you're going into recovery anyway lol so it's easier and quicker to stick with my way than flashing a zip prolly...jw if this finally works properly for root

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] yusopa:
Yea that what i did bro. Agree few root kits out there cant go thru with mega bootloader and caused the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Just a little glimpse of what's to come...lol a sneak peak at test build 1

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
wish we could get this working on Metro pcs (SGH-M819N) version :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
It does work. From what some are saying it is only the WiFi is broken.

Questions:

Can't someone simply back up their Stock Rom from MetroPCS and make it available?

I am not sure which version it is either. Does the 4.x.x matter?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea the android version is all that matters...the 4.4.2 update to kk is all you guys are waiting on...for the same reason wifi breaks and the security and bits of the system break...you have to have the kk bootloader and metro baseband from kk or it will always break. ...you can Def run the rom and works just fine...fast all the tweaks etc. ..but no wifi and no allowing 3rd party app installs (can't access security settings just force closes without boot and baseband) but there's several dudes doing it as we speak and have ran the last few roms. ..I don't recommend it but it can be done if desperate....personally I don't see the point when I have the 4.2 mega fire builds literally identical but with less app incompatibilities of kk lmao? Idk but the differences from 4.2 thru 4.4 have been minimal and only really in the background that I removed anyway as their mostly lock downs not features added...so my 2 cents use mega fire until metro gets kk...but as far as performance and everything megakat and megafire roms are all almost identical...or at least that's the goal

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Hmmm, going to see if I can track someone with a Mega and see if they can upload a clean backup. Do I have to root to perform a full backup??? If not I will check MetroPCS return policy...

I am not happy the direction Google seems to be taking. Seems as if they are going more towards the route of ios and Apple more towards Android... go figure heh

I am happy with Android 4.0 - 4.3 but with future hardware kk+ is mandatory. As I have stated before I am only thinking about kk because of the Moto 360.

With Shamu in the news and it being a larger phone the days of Samsung being in my pockets is coming to a close. This phone, MEga, probably has till the end of the year with the many drops I have given it lol

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Moto...ng-a-1080p-display-and-Snapdragon-801_id59267
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
No I completely understand the frustration of google...I'm probably their biggest critic since they essentially used 3/4 of the dev mods tweaks and enhancements to get android where it is today then basically locked us out...then add in the annoyance of a carrier stalling on the updates it's ridiculous...but yea your gonna need to be rooted with recovery to do a restore...but that still won't give you the bootloader unfortunately and you still need the baseband for metro...that's why it's a bit of a rock and a hard case situation unfortunately

Mega

I will be doing you guys your own megakat metro build whenever they decide to push the update
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
That blows... LAst MetroPCS phone I buy lol

I wanted a TMO phone and this was the closest thing to it. Works nice but the MetroPCS updates are the worst.

Thanks!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Dude I know it's ridiculous...there should be some type if mandatory time frame carriers have to push updates out...my note 2 took 15 months to get 4.3 from 4.1.2 so I totally understand man...I hate the fact I bought my att note 3 outright and it has a locked bootloader...which means all or nothing updates...once I went to kk there's no going back...so I'm in the same boat with my other phone as well...I had 3 kk roms out for it before I ever used them myself cuz I didn't wanna do the update...it's insane this stuff is allowed to go on

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
clean back up of the stock ROM? I have one. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4kEgjurpDOLMzFrd2h5WkZFc2M/edit?usp=sharing

Ironicly I listed it as cleanbackup haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
I don't know a lot about bands and bootloaders. I know what they are but is it something that can be extracted? If the person stating they have a Stock ROM is willing can this be provided by them? I'm guessing it had to be software so somehow or can be obtained? Baseband too?

Is it a kit kat?

Thanks btw
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Wait I'm confused?? If there is no metro update to kit kat...how is anyone supposed to have a kit kat rom? If they did they could simply send it to me and I could build the metro megakat...something doesn't add up here lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
no Metro pcs version of the Mega doesn't have kk

I think he's confused not you lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Hahah ok just making sure...i figured about 8 seconds after someone pulls it there'll be a pm in my inbox lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
I went to metro PCs and they told me the new megas have kk... I dunno...

I'll go again and see if they have the mega on display. I'll check the settings. The girl was clueless as to the update.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
When you guys get it you can either pull the boot and baseband and use megakat...or I'll do a metro build so either way if it's out or when it comes well get it hooked up. ..just insane carriers are allowed to lag months behind

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
Corporate store or Authorized dealer? Authorized dealers will tell you anything to get you to buy. The Metro Mega doesn't have KK.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jimmbomb:
Thanks for alll your work Megafire!!!

Now, Ive got a question..

Ive been up-grading all your V's on MegaKat since v1

But every time, I have to re-install apps and such and set up my mega every time..

And since Ive discovered how to use 'wanam' and 'app settings' and 'exposed modules'.....

Ive got bigger fonts with Google maps, and alll kinds of goodies with your help and love the way my mega looks now with all my changes..

Here's my problem... with every new 'version', i have to spend alot of time setting this back up.

Question.... is there a way to up-grade to v-6 and others to come... AND NOT have to re-do all that setting up my apps, and re-installing the ones that didnt automatically re-install them selves (there are a few that never get re-installed automatically, even though I have google auto back up my sh*t..

thanks for your help, MegaFire, and thank you for giving us for FREE all your kick ass fast smooth ROMS..

thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Well the easiest way is simply save your theme/settings in wanam lol...then it's simply open wanam after flash and restore theme then reboot...as for apps no dirty flashing is never as good Imo. ..especially when the point of a rom like mine is issue free performance and battery...all of which struggle on dirty flashes...but i backup my wanam themes Viper4Android ect...then just reinstall apps form play store...all clean flash and full set up takes me maybe 15 or 15 minutes then letting play store download and install apps...total 40 mins (maybe 10/15 of which I'm even touching my mega) and 2 reboots...in wanam just hit menu button save a backup and your set for the next flash

For those interested

Here how to install adobe flash on kitkat

Install dolphin browser

Install dolphin jetpack

Donwnload and install:

http://downloadandroidfiles.org/download-kitkat-adobe-flash-player-11-1-apk/

Open dolphin browser then:

Setting> webcontent> flash player> always activated

Im so happy with megakat that i dont use my computer anymore :) can do everything from my phone :))

Thanks to mega, looking forward to the next version :))

Just a tiny question, where did u buy an extended battery for the méga, cant find one. Thx
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Dude that's awesome thanks for the share...i actually don't have an extended myself...i do have 2 batteries...i remember I think Shane had the extended...something crazy like 6500 maph or 8000...i remember even on the first megafire roms before battery life really took off he was getting something like 8 hours of screen on time over days of standby...on these roms now...pshh I couldn't even figure maybe 10 or 11 screen on and 5 days standby or something...i know mugen (however it's spelled lol) is good quality ext batteries...not sure about others tbh...would love like a 4200 or something that fit in the original body and back panel personally

Mega

I've been getting into this javelin browser...i need to check out if flash works on it or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] pierrottls31:
Yeah,

I've read in the news, they are develloping battery by changing some inside component, those new battery will last twice the time of actual one and life span of the battery will be triple :) still windering what will look like phoness in 5-10 years :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Dude if thats the case...for 85% of my use I'd want a galaxy gear standalone with lte and voice connectivity...that would be my ideal "phone" then something like a mega on the other end for when I want to carry a phone phone...doubling the lithium ion capacity/stamina would make this feasible...all the sudden you free up all kinda devices when you can micro size a battery

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] poch_m:
Hi Mega. Just installed Megakat V6, I just dirty flashed it over v2 since I don't have the time. It still runs very fast, noticeably faster than v2 in some apps and a marked improvement when unlocking. I'll just monitor battery life now, hopefully it's a little better than before
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jimmbomb:
Thanks Mega... when I save a back up of Wanam..where does it go? Ill need to save it to the SD card for use after the wipes..

And I cannot find it in "my files"..

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Dude V6 is running incredible man... you're gonna love it ... def let me know what you think

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] samueldewit:
I sure will.. btw, this is my install procedure:

1. A complete wipe:

- Factory Reset

- Dalvik Cache

- Cache

2. Install the zip

3. Reboot.

4. After boot, wait minimal 5 minutes with taking any action. This way the system can build up some cache.

5. Follow procedures like any other rom (Account settings, System settings etc.)

6. Reboot into recovery, install some mods and apps and let it boot and build some cache again.

7. Personalizing system settings like animation speed, doing some account settings, nova settings and such...

8. Installing XPosed and several apps.

9. Applying some mod's like XBSC, SoundMods, AppleColorEmoji, SwiftkeyMods...

Several apps I use to "optimize" MegaKat:

- CCleaner

- BatteryDoctor

- NowBrowser Pro

- GravityBox

- WanamKit

I hope this was helpfull to anyone. If you want to know more, or want any other tips and tricks just tell me and I will share it. If you have anything to share with me and other megalovers, please do so.

Big thanks to [MENTION=226347]mega[/MENTION] for all the awesome and great work in his ROM's.

Big thanks to several creators of the mods ^-^

And a big thanks to all you guys supporting the mega, and sharing your love with us!

Please help. I9200 user

Every time I flash stock KK in Odin my phone boots up without a problem but after booting restarts .this problem persists even after flashing MegaKat. I wipe data and cache but that doesnt help. my only option is to use my CWM backups.Also even after flashing stock roms those two red lines don't disapper
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Make sure you're using odin 3.09. ..I've heard the kk bootloader and baseband don't properly flash unless using 3.09...also ensure your downloading the right odin rom for your Mega and that your not flashing the I9205 rom

Mega

The old man is lost...

3. After odin flashing stock kk flash this....

https://mega.co.nz/#!3JoTAK6T!i4s1kN...VuXbpbCtzU5lxg

I HAVE IT and ready to flash

5.

DIRTY FLASH MegaKat v9xxx.zip :confused: Which File ? It has the be last Version from god'srom maker..Today V.6
