Zipping together the new base now...may have to reinstall my tools on my new pc they don't seem to be playing well with some of my drivers or hw...hopefully it's not an issue

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
So I'm gonna have to check over my tools idk what's up...everything looked fine and flashes fine but won't boot...i got all the files rebuilt and got everything laid out...but like mk unde4 before it something about these mega bases are just finicky and weird on my setups...downside after all this is I haven't noticed a single change or speed boost on the new base so it's making me all the more bent about these annoyances with the tools/bases

Whats going on Mega. Bro I know your putting in work trying to make our Mega better. But dude its already running like a 6.3inch Note3..the work you have done is amazing and much appreciated. I am happy with the way it is?. Thanks for all you do. See you in Note3 thread

Galaxy Mega..(MegakatV30)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea just pm me one...we won't need both...thanks dude

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Just finished flashing the second test build of v3...setting it up now...If all goes well ill start the upload later on tonight and probably post megakat v3 in the morning or afternoon tomorrow

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Final update about megakat v3...i had to to a 3rd test build to optimize the battery life so I just started the upload...and will post sometime tomorrow afternoon...Def running faster smoother and extremely battery efficient

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Micha71:
What have you improved then everything and anew pure-packed?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] samueldewit:
Awesome dude! Can't wait to try! Have a nice day :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] poch_m:
Im currently running V2

The GPS now appears to work much better. I used to take 1-2 minutes to never in getting a gps lock even in extremely clear skies. I have even tried apps like FasterGPS and etc with the stock rom. I actually solved this dilemma by buying a Nokia X, which can lock in seconds even without agps.

Now I can get locks in 5-10 seconds. Its still slightly less accurate than the Nokia X, my waze data is still more wiggly and out of the road but it is a massive improvement
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Megakat v3 77% uploaded...

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
MegaKat v3 is live in the op...enjoy

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jotekman:
Much appreciated. I am still on v1... and I love it. Can't wait to see what 3 can do for me :)

I used to swap phones quite a bit, I would get one every 6 months to a year (always something that could take a custom ROM of course) and my wife has recently been asking me when the next phone swap is going to be.

I can happily tell her that I plan on keeping this phone as long as I did my HD2. Until it fries on me :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Dude I love to hear that. ..This is the essence of why I bother sharing the roms to hopefully give you guys the same experience and enjoyment out of your mega...but you gotta check out v3 lol its running so fast and smooth for me. Hopefully it just makes your experience that much better man

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Can't wait to hear everybody's feedback about v3...

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] samueldewit:
Hey dude, I will download and install V3 right now! I will share my results of course. I am happy to see its going so well. I really appreciate all the work. Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Awesome dude...me too honestly...When I was first building the rom I was annoyed and hesitant and didn't like the few changes made to kk...but after really working on it after v2 and now v3 I'm really enjoying megakat personally and haven't been back to 4.2 since...Def looking forward to the word on v3

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
That's how i feel too. It is not the most speedy but fast enough where i won't smash the phone lol

Looking forward to kk once Moto 360 comes out!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
V3 should speed things up back along mega fire speed finally...getting past the intentionally slowed annoying kit kat animations was a bit if a hurdle...mk benchmarks way higher but those animations make the feel slower so v3 finally overcame that...honestly I was waiting for mega 2 and while I'm still excited for it my mega is running so good on v3 it's become an afterthought now ...loving my mega lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Mine works well. It is a lot slower compared to the note 3 i had. The sound is not that good either.

I just love the real estate so much!

I don't think there's going to be a Mega 2 like we hope. Perhaps not enough units sold as a whole in US. The galaxy w is terrible and the other large over 5.5 phablets Samsung has released as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Lol yea the notes def got more hp...hopefully we get a mega 2 man gotta keep the hope lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] pierrottls31:
yep, you are right, but this is not the same price... I got my mega for 200 euro so about $250... With your rom, for this price this is the best tablet/phone ever :)

V3 is running so smooth... thanks for your work

Cheers...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gkrambati143:
i love 2 megas in my life

Samsung Mega 6.3 and XDA Mega megalomanic​
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I agree man...I've said many a time here and in my note 3 rom threads the mega is still to this day my favorite device I've ever owned...I still think it's the most unique, absolutely perfect device between a phone and mini tab...mk has only made me love It more lol...nothing has ever matched the overall experience from the mega for me

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
If you said earlier that you where using windows 10 I already knew the problem... its been for a while that odin fails with windows 10
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
Yeah, now I know too ... it takes only one day of life :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
I read an article about windows 10 screwing with odin, but yeah glad the problem is fixed
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
So fellas there's good news and bad...the good news is i got the build mostly sorted at least enough to test it out properly....the bad news its a downgrade in the few parts that have changed...

a few issues with the base that rule it out for any possible reason to update...one and mainly is its identical speed with no actual changes to the build I could find but the region change and the name as far as optimizations and most importantly the real world speed in unchanged...but the real killer is the few changes made...and they're not good...mainly they altered the color of the screen calibration to the point my black dev mega next to my white 16gb mega looks like a Chinese clone screen the white is so grey...and 2 days ago on mk udne4 it was identical..which by itself isn't too bad except photos and videos look kinda crap in comparison several shades darker than normal...so while I'm not ruling out a possible base update...but this will not be the one after finally getting to test it...and given its one of the most recent bases out I can't see much changing in terms of these kk bases imo...

So Idk what else to really to do from here...since there's just no point in having everyone go thru the massive hassle of downloading the new base... odin flashing it... and going thru the hassle of the new mk for literally the same rom...sorry for jazzin everyone's hopes but it was a waste of time unfortunately

Mega

Megakat v30X on the left...new v32x test build on the new base on the right...several shades darker and a wired grey tone to the whites

And it's slower smh...in context mind you this is an 8g dev mega with very few apps vs my entire normal mk v30 setup on a 16gb with 200 apps...and mk v30 still topped the new build...

V30X

V32test
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
I guess we will be staying on v30 now.

It sucks man, that the newer base is bad
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
So it looks like it's nothing to wait... I am flashing UDNE and MegaKat v30...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I don't mind trying to progress the builds I mean we've had 2 mega fire bases and 1 mk base...what annoys me about it is samsung hasn't touched the builds in like a year...but they dimmed the screen brightness to offset the mediocre stock battery life and slightly detuned the cpu management but added more knox wow thanks...it was the first time testing a base I was annoyed with even bothering just from the sheet laziness on samsung part

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea thanks for testing the base ahead of time...but yea def get back as fast as possible...I'm doing mine today...after 2 days of testing it's clearly not as fast...not as efficient...and the screen just doesn't look right...dissapointed but at least I know v30 is running great just a hassle doing the run around

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
So mega this is kinda dumb... you know Film1?

Its where you can watch movies on tv when you have upc or ziggo or whatever kind of provider you got. You can log in eith your provider name etc into the film1 app for android and watch free movies... they screwed the app up, older tab2 is running smoothly and hd quality but newer tabs and phones are buggy and screen and audio gets stuck sometimes and its very bad quality.

I mailed the company before to do something about it (like 4 5 months ago) amd they actually responded on it with "whe will contact the developer".

Recently I send a new e-mail to them cause its not fixed yet, I told them its a shame to put your app up on the internet like this... buggy as hell and not well supported and 5 months ago they even added a support for android kitkat and lollipop... this is what I got as answer

"Good afternoon,

It is known that videos on some devices do not play back smoothly. This is largely because of the SDK that is used for the DRM. We do it all, with the resources we have , to get well functioning app on as many devices as possible . Sometimes we unfortunately run against this kind of technical limitations."

How is it so hard to just make the app compatible with 4.4.x and 5.x.x.... how? They got so much time to do this already.

Just hire new developers... better ones.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Lol yea dude that's bs...here's the thing...if they go thru the play store drm is handled by a common script in the apk that has the play store run key checks to your account or buy an apk key like nova prime that enables feature Xyz...if they are independent...something like Netflix with their own drm they're simply terrible developers because other than a paid key apk you can't reliably do drm on the apk itself it would have to be all server based otherwise if I make a backup I've now replicated your drm enabled signed apk...

As for making it 5.x backward it's not hard it's just slight updates to the sdk repackaging of the same apk

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
Thats what I was thinking... but this has nothing to do with payment lol, the app is free when you have one of the 4 providers, you just login in (with max 4 devices, wich mean their server cant handle more lol) and you have acces to full movies.

But its the media player inside their app that is just badly developed.

5 months ago there was no support for 4.4 and 5.x it crash immidiatly when loading a full movie, but movie trailers would still be playable without crashes and fc.. wich is weird. There is another solution... let people use stock media player... or let them select quality themselves.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
So it's like showbox sort of...idk if you've ever tried showbox or not but it's pretty sick lol...as for that app yea that's basically all bs it's just laziness or bad devs...

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] butchieboy:
Thanks for trying to give us flashoholics something new but V30 is amazing..just fine where I am?

Galaxy Mega..(MegakatV30)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Thanks dude...Yea getting back on my normal mega today annoyed me so bad I ended odin back my dev mega and it's back on v30 lol...was gonna test or mess with it but no lol...I guess I should've have expected much since I've been thru it 100 times with generic bases but man a slightly slower copy of a year old base is just so lazy...I mean I would've loved a faster mk build or more efficient but it didn't even get better battery life lol...whatever weird screen issues it gave my mega thankfully are gone...waste of 2 days lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
Too bad... It seems, however, that I stuck on DOA1 because can't flash properly UDNE... every time there is problem with not loading MODEM and lack of Wi-Fi. This time changing computers do not give anything. So please, try to work on the V32 anyway... I have left MegaFire and caanot enter MegaKat. Battery draining on stock base is terrible compare to MF. Speed too... I feel like in jail :)

Do you think MKv32 makes improvement compare to stock base rom? If so maybe I will try use it anyway...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Over stock oa1 sure...but that's not saying much...you're undoubtedly experiencing the weird screen effects we don't want you on that base or build...have you tried flashing mk over the old base or restoring a backup?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
Hmmm... Did not try anything but flash UDNE... What you mean of 'old base'? I can not go back to any old base now. Have one backup of MF but this is not what I intended to have ;). At first I have flashed polish DOA1/DOA1/DOA1 4.4 rom and as I can see I am condemned to it...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] idoit:
Oh wow, from the looks of it and what you say, it seems Mega is much more open than Mate/P7 !!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
Yeah it is, i think i will just go away from huawei and htc from now on...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Traine:
Just flashed Megakat V30 and I spent a good 1 and a half hour theming the phone
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
That looks good man...nice...did you change the dpi or something?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Traine:
No
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Lol that's weird it must just be my phone compressing it or something cuz everything looks smaller lol...I like it looks good...love the handrawn look of the background in the settings

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] butchieboy:
I dont know what you could have done to make our Mega's any better bro...Seriously bro when Im home..sim out of N3...in Mega..couldnt ask for anything more?

FireKatV19N3..(FireGear Jackedv20)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Honestly a little mix of boredom curiosity and wishful thinking lol...I really wasn't thinking it'd be a big step up but in my head figured ah well a gain here or a boost there may be worth the fun of the hole setup...but flashing is only fun when it's beneficial lol...I didn't anticipate the weird step back which is what threw me

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
YESSSSSS

Finally got it rooted, kingroot is the best.

Will now backup stock rom with knox... for when I ever want to restore.

Hopefully knox didnt trip.

Will test the rom you made for me mega, now we can have some fun.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
He mega... that rom you made for my tab 4 didnt install... immidiate abort when installing... maybe something wrong with the updater script?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Lmao your the one who sent the basic deodex dude with the script hahah...it could be or it may be incompatible with your device if you never test flashed the base before sending it

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
Yeah I know... but I found another touchwiz based rom that does flash and boot lol.. buts its been heavy stripped down.. you think you can add some nice stuff into the rom?

oh and... I tripped knox... great! Well at least I got a month of insurance left that covers EVERTHING so if something fails I have to be fast.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Lmao dude I told you to test the one you sent me before all this began...you said you did...so why should I waste the time redoing it because you just decided meh lets say it works...that's lame dude and hella ungrateful

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
I am Sorry man didnt know why I said that

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] LioN.eXe:
Hey,

when i try to flash the rom from philz recovery its giving me error

script succeeded result was /system

help pls
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
If it says script succeeded or success and boots up it flashed fine...if not its either an issue with a step in your process or bad download

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] LioN.eXe:
hmm it won't boot..

i need ur help i searched anywhere but i can't find anytihng to resolve this problem

i can't flash stock 4.4.2 it won't boot after flash showing Galaxy Mega GTI9200 and reboots again and again

i can't flash stock 4.2.2 too cuz of the knox bootloader

i can't flash any custom 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 rom

i can flash AOSP roms only but i don't need them

i need custom 4.2.2 touchwiz rom

or anyway to flash stock rom

help pls
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Wait slow down lol...you're jumping between like 6 things...there is no knox in 4.2.2...and the knox boot in unde4 doesn't prevent you from going back and forth to 4.2.2 or 4.4.2

Are you flashing the proper stock samsung rom for your device...if you have I9200 you flash those bases in odin and those Megakat roms...Use odin 3.07 or 3.09 not 3.06 and should odin fine...

Like the op says you cannot run Megakat without flashing the base properly so until you do it doesn't matter what you try it's not gonna work

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
He mega, can you take a look at the pictures and tell me whats wrong?

On my tab 4 i wanted to install ressurection remix but it gets stuck in the tab 4 boot screen (not the boot animation)

Maybe you know the problem, i know its aosp etc but think its something from the recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Dude why are you posting this here...

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Traine:
So I recently flashed MegaKat V30 so I decided to test the new and improved and camera and here's the results...(I'm sorry if I scared you)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Dude those are gorgeous [emoji106] ...looks like an amazing place

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Just Odin back again after trying another base...idk what happened after unde4 but it's like samsung just shut down shop...the other base I tried was literally identical to unde4...classic...so unless a newer base comes out that's actually improved or even simply just changed slightly lol I'll try again but man feels so good to be back on v30 lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Did you get back in action on mk alright? I figure so just wondering after I Odin back again yesterday if you figured out what was going wrong

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Here you go fellas this didn't take long...just uploaded the full set of 1920x1080 OPPO one plus one 2nd Gen stock wallpapers...they're a little...odd lol...enjoy

Not yet... but working on it. If I know something I will post. Thank you for concern...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Just made me think about it... but idk why you're having that issue... I odin back from a couple bases without issue... If you want my odin if you think that'll help let me know cuz stock mega is horrible haha

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
Yes, you are rignt... only now I know how terrible it is. I was using Mega Fire from so long I forgot how bad is stock rom. If you can please let me use your Odin - I want to have every possible resources. Now I am trying to set up small PC with Win8 to flash by Odin because my main PC has Win10.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
No problem when I run back home in a few mins I'll upload the kit...you may not need to go thru that...as far as I know the official windows 10 works with odin alright...as per a handful of feedback posts since it's come out finalized

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
OK I will try Win10 :)

Edit\\

Firstly I decided to check if backup of MegaFire works... Fortunately, all right! At least it is where I can return..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
OK great...now we just need your pc to Odin unde4 properly to get you up and running on v30

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
At last I made it! First flashed udne4 using odin 3.10 but modem not changed. Then extracted modem from udne4 made it .tar. md5 form and flashed twice using odin 3.07... With success! Now I am on MegaKat v30!?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Awesome to hear dude..how are you liking it?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
It's to early to say something. You see, I was going on the dirt side: from DOA1 to UDNE4 without factory reset, just flashing udne and trying to made it usable because of modem. When WiFi starts working flashed MKv30 and now will see... At least all apps are there - was going from 4.4 to 4.4 so shouldn't be any problems. Anyway I am happy to made it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Ok awesome dude glad to hear you got everything up and running at least

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
So i switched back to my Mega again, with the best stable rom out there compared to my huawei's 5.1.1 beta firmware... Like how can you screw up something like this? Kernel not finished even parts missing... The view cover (like s view cover) pixels are about 100p off side so you see black parts in the view cover. Camera crashing, its like i am back on aosp lmao.

But anyway i clean flashed megakat v30 (upgraded from v26) and running great! Have started a new very cool theme...but my thumb is damaged ( accident on work with a hammer..) so its hard to do with one thumb lol. I am also considering about porting a kernel like elementalX... But dont know if its worth my time

Anyway thanks again for the updates man, its sad that the newer builds are worse... Would have expected mire from samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Awesome dude...yea it was a little disappointing tbh and kinda insulting to think had we been sort of average clueless stock users...you'd take the update expecting a better experience and wind up with a sort of dimmed off white screen and slower performance? Just lazy...Looking forward to seeing what you put together....lol fyi Brian just finished working on his mate 7 kernel...not to customize it...merely to out why the bootani would so a flicker during boot up during recovery/boot check...2 months dude...He found 2 mb of excess useless code in the kernel that he literally removed and fixed it...ive worked on samsung kernels tweaking for power but still only changing or removing a handful of individual lines of code and couldn't boot it was that tight for context...
