I don't necessarily think it was designed or meant for anything but the s5...it's just a fluke I think that someone came across the mod lol...it worked for me but idk the colors and screen size were too much but it worked just fine

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
So for any of you megafire users now running megakat what do you guys think? How do you compare the two? Hope everyone's enjoying v1

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] samueldewit:
First try was sucessfull, thank you for the clear description and tutorial.

I just flashed MegaKat and I am letting it build cache for 10 mins... Then will install my own apps, delete some standard, customize and enjoy this sweet rom :cool:

Thank you very much Mega!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Sure thing bro my pleasure...Def let me know what you think of it when you get up and running

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] samueldewit:
I wanted to turn on WiFi... wouldn't let me do it...I skipped signing in and saw all my apps from my SlimKat rom... I am going to reset it now, and repeat the instructions. I will let ya know how it went...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea you have to odin flash the stock first then flash recovery and then flash my rom...your apps will stay on there but you shouldn't have any issues at all...and don't attempt to root the stock kk before you flash my rom or you'll break wifi as well

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] samueldewit:
I did that, I just reflashed stock... It was succesfull again. Will flash recovery in a min and then your rom... hopefully it works now...

I just noticed a diffirence... The binary wasn't custom this time; it was Samsung Official now. Going to re-root now!

edit; I just re-rooted and now my wifi works. I think it crashed with my old AOSP rom... Well, finally able to enjoy it!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Right....just let odin complete and boot...power down boot into download and flash the Philz recovery I posted...let that boot...then boot into Philz and dirty flash the rom no wiping anything...let megakt boot then reboot into recovery and click Philz advanced options and click re root system...Reboot...install SuperSu from play store and your done ...it's only a few quick steps but the order is super important

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] samueldewit:
I did exacly the same the first time... the second time I wiped fully before flashing stock rom... That fixed it.. anyways, I am fine now :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Sweet Man Enjoy

Mega

PS...check out the camera...I'm hella impressed by the camera on the mega with kk and mk tweaks...it looks simply stunning now
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Guys I'm starting an app, apks, mods, and wallpapers sharing source in the 2nd op...i do this in a lot of my roms...if you guys have anything you wanna share just post it and I'll add it to the 2nd op...enjoy

I go for megakat. Notice how smooth keyboard pulls up when bout to type a message comparing with megafire...

---------- Post added at 11:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 PM ----------

I did not do a full wipe before flashing stock kk via odin. So i still have my have my apps coming from megafire. Is this ok? Im not encountering issues so far...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
yes this is exactly how I laid it out in the op...I tried to make it as easy as possible and since we already had to use Odin there is no point in a Wipe...glad you enjoy the rom bro... It'll only get better from here

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Attention i9200 users...shivwest just sent me confirmation that megakat will work just fine...but you have to flash gray kkernel as well to make it compatible...i asked him to write up a step by step he used then I'll add it to the OP

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] arek113:
Hello! if I can directly switch from megafire on megakat? through philz cwm?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Traine:
No you have to read the op
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Lol thanks alot dude

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] rmarinella:
Can anyone verify what bootloader version Megakat uses? How can I check the bootloader version I have?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
To be honest I didn't even bother looking what the boots called lol...you can check it in download/bootloader mode as your flashing recovery

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vicoweb:
hi Mega! yesterday i tried to install that linked mod, but i found it doesn't work... Philz recovery regularry installs it, but when finished and re-booted, after the new s5 boot logo animation and sound, does not start and stops loading... So, i had to re-install your megakat rom, and leave the standard touchwiz. Is it possible, for you, develop an s5 like look interface, including new icons, new quick toggles, new menus, new sms interface, new effects, etc? Or, alternately, do you know any s5 mod working on your megakat rom? thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] cowk612:
Dear Mega,

After I flash the V8, I still can't got the icon like setting, quick stetting. I don't know why？

thank

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] samueldewit:
another awesome rom! Keep em' coming, I will keep flashing!:victory:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] D4dan:
i want to try it too, but still no V9 i9200 :/
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jotekman:
So you are saying its worth the upgrade from v3? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bvannier:
Go for it

No kidding. .. It' s another world! Never been so happy With a new rom.

Kindly yours from an old man. :angel:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
what would happen if we flashed this rom with out doing all the other stuff. Or if I flashed it on my Metro pcs Mega that hasn't been upgraded to kitkat?

Stupid Metro pcs. They sure knpw how to drive customers away.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] yusopa:
First you must install exposed framework. Activate exposed. Download and install S5 systemui theme. Activate s5 systemui theme in modules and reboot. After that you can edit s5 systemui theme from there. So you can did like megalo did. Have a nice day
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Either it would run fine but have parts of the system and wifi break...or it won't flash at all depending on the bootloader...I know some guys with metro have been using megakat since v1 just without wifi since it breaks wifi flashing kk without baseband and boot but there's def some doing it

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] yusopa:
Good night megalo lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Because you need to go in an grant root permissions in the S5 module itself

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Awesome dude def stoked for you that this update cleared up everything for you. Enjoy

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Dude your lucky you get lte on your mega...doesn't work on our lte here in the states... [emoji25] lol. Later bro. Enjoy

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
I wonder why CM11 kitkat work on my phone with out those issues? sorry this a little out side my knowledge.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
No worries...they're ports of aosp. ..as they use all generic stuff...generic baseband generic system generic kernel etc. ..generic features...that's why they're all the same and typically have stability issues etc...the bigger issue is there should be a rule how long a carrier can with hold an update. ..this is bordering on ridiculous for the delay of getting kk...imagine all the suckers without root and mega fire on the worst stock rom ever

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
I don't see how Samsung is allowed to release KK for some of the Mega's and not all of them. GOOGLE really needs to crack down on manufactures and carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
But that's not correct...Samsung DOES release them at the same time to carriers...it's the carriers that sit on them unfortunately man...Samsung release almost all regions of every device within a few weeks of each other...and you can use any intl stock rom on any intl device of the same model...just like att sat on 4.3 for over a year for my note 2 it's your carriers fault not Samsung...i mean att and Rogers mega got kk a few weeks after i9205 did

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
IN my opinion it falls on the manufacture for not putting it out publicly, they shouldn't be leaving it up to a carrier. Manufactures should only make one verient of a phone. all the carries should have to carry that phone like it or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
No I get what you're saying...but the truth and what I'm saying is the manufacturer has no choice...the fcc mandates the rules and the carriers have the power...you can always do like I do and order intl unlocked phones and not buy thru a carrier...but you sign up and get deals thru the carrier so your under their rules man that's the unfortunate truth...it's sucks but that's the deal...as for one variant it's not been possible because there's more than 1 network type in the us alone much less the world...you always have the option to order the intl one tho your not forced into a carrier model...the downside of this is that like for me to get lte I had to buy an att note 3...i COULD have ordered the intl but it doesn't have the same radio bands so no lte...which is why I got stuck on locked bootloader art note 3 but have 50mbs lte....i dont blame Samsung or manufacturers for these system issued or rules tho its not anything they can control whatsoever

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I9200 v9 build will be coming up in the next few days...I'll prolly start working on it tomorrow and keep you guys updated

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] The Stranger:
I9205xxudne4

Is it possible to flash the baseband I9205XXUDNE4

I'm on Baseband I9205XXUDNF2 now and when i flash this ROM V8 my WIFI is not working?

Can somebody share the baseband? - I need version I9205XXUDNE4
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Eeee this is specifically why I have the stock rom hosted on the op to use with mine dude...i cannot recommend you try this as you may vary well run into a Knox soft brick trying to flash an older md5 checksum...you may be stuck unfortunately...

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] The Stranger:
I try already to flash the stock I9205XXUDNE4 / Portugal one! but Baseband did not change back! :confused:

Download your Stock and flash, did do the trick, back on track.. SOLVED
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Droidphilev:
Hi,

Normally i use custom roms but i would like to try yours. Now i'm on the first bootloader and an older modem. I don't want the newer bootloader and KK modem also seem to suck. In op the instructions say to flash a stock rom first. Downloaded those and the tar contains a bootloader and a basedband. Isn't your rom working with the first 9205 bootloader and older modems? Tried to search but couldn't really find an answer. KK custom roms all work fine so i wonder why to flash full stock first.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] yusopa:
You still can install the rom bro. But you will face several problem. Wifi not work and setting problem and etc. I think the new bootloader not suck as you said. Because the dev for custom rom ( silesh) maintain update the blobs. So what the reason here denied you to flash the new bootloader. Give a try first bro. Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Droidphilev:
I'm not sure what it was with the bootloader but i think it was harder to root or something, not sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] yusopa:
Its simple bro. Just follow the OP and everything work fine. Root not harder but you will just lost your warranty. I dont care about warranty.

[MENTION=5451734]megalomanic14[/MENTION] thanks for your work with galaxy mega.

I have one issue with wifi icon, is connected but not appear, also data connection is lost and only when reboot i recover data connection with 3G.

Now i have V6 and i will update to V8 now.

Anybody know about this issue ? in another forums say is about root method ?

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Is this Metro PCS version? Seems that is a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Well considering there are zero other kk touchwiz roms for Mega That's completely wrong...the only other roms for 4.4 are all buggy generic ports of aosp...this is a touchwiz rom dude with all the features, stability, and quality you don't get with ports/aosp...which is why the baseband and bootloader are necessary If you wanna flash it...and I was the dev who tested and developed the method for downgrading back to 4.2.2 lol so it's not like the bootloader or baseband makes any difference...other than whatever bias or misunderstanding several of you guys think the kk boot but the fact is its no more locked down than the 4.2 Knox bootloader and you can still flash 4.2 or 4.4 roms so I don't get the fear or whatever over a bootloader other than misunderstanding

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
What model mega do you have...I'm guessing not the i9200 or i9205 which the roms are for?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
Are you using a Metro Pcs Mega. That's what happens with the Metro Mega when you flash Touchwiz KK. The Metro pcs Phone hasn't had an upgrade to KK yet so this Rom won't work on it right.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] alucine:
I9205, previous od install v6 i have v10 of 4.2.2 of your rom, i installed fo low your steps, firts odin, wipe, after install with recovery.

Another tip, in ROM 4.2.2 also occurs this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Either somethings wrong with the method you follow...or your mega itself...since there hasn't been a single issue on any of the last 10 mega fire builds even mentioned...and I use all the megakat builds myself without issue so somethings def wrong man...make sure you clean flash always. ..and use the base roms and recovery I post in the op

Mega

My guess is you didn't flash flash the odin stock kk rom I had posted but flashed undf4 or another base kk build with a different baseband
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Megakat V9 for i9200 just wrapping up...will be uploading tonight prolly post in the morning

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] D4dan:
NICE

thank you Megalomanic :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
Slightly off topic,but kind of on topic. I contacted Metro PCs corporate about the Metro Mega not yet having KK. this is what they told me: "Hi Brian! We will release the Software Updates if and when it becomes available from the manufacturer. Thank you"
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
That is the same nonsense they gave me on FB. NEVER will I buy a MetroPCS product. Because of this I turn people away from MEtroPCS.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Lmao yea man of course they're not gonna be like oh yea we've been sitting on it for 6 months sorry bout that...they're always gonna blame the manufacturer...but 2 ways to tell...1 have a friend that works at a carrier like my good friend worked at tmobile and verified what I told you over a year ago...Manufactures actually give carriers a head start by about 45 days prior to intl release of updates. ..2 live Samsung updates you can actually see all updates Samsung releases live...like I said man it sucks but that's the price we pay for doing business with these companies aka Satan lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
It really sucks for the guys who bought from metro or others. But mega you and your right about that, someone i know at a phone manufacturer has also confirmed that this happens with those carriers.

Good luck with getting kitkat (and maybe Android L, yeah that will also be the same stuff all over again)

Great work on V8 man! I really love it. Got rid of aosp, it isnt buggy but battery life is just sad on most of em.

And sorry for the spam on your pm box... but there was no other way xda didnt let me post.

Best regards and respect for supporting our mega!

Funny thing is, Metro pcs is Owned by Tmobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
It is. They have gotten much better though. They used to have a terrible stock rom back in the days... ugh

This is the first and last phone I will buy from Metro.

I am wait and see with future large phones... I am not impressed with the new Mega sized phones. I may bite the bullet in the future and pick up a Note 4. I am loving that edge screen.

Mega, are you planning on getting the Note 4 or considering a future phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Man to be honest I'm a little disappointed with the note 4...i have a note 3 and it's the same size screen but 2k...only the battery is literally 20 maph larger so the battery life is gonna be a big issue imo...i may end up getting a note 4 down the road but it's the firdt time I don't plan on getting a note day 1...gear s on the other hand lol I'm in love and totally getting one day 1

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
That note edge thing looks goofy, Just another trick like the 3d phones. I'm waiting to see what the nexus 6 is like, I may end up grabbing a nexus 5 here soon. Good thing about Metro pcs being with t mobile now is that you can use an unlocked third party phone on their network.

Megalo and all folks here. What all of think about Htc one M8. I think to buy it
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I've never been a fan of htc or the one. .. but the m8 max or prime sounds great tbh...6 inch even snapdragon 805 etc.. but I've always been sketchy about htc build quality for the price

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea the edge is dumb. It's a gimmick plain and simple. .. Never liked nexus devices or stock android. .. but especially since they're integrating know into the source idk if they'll even continue the Nexus line but idk is Google not a logical company lol

Good morning,

As I told you before, I felt in love :o with this model when I got it in my hands. I will receive mine this morning and let you know! Better feeling holding it and only 1 cm overall.

Forum seems getting much better on XDA Forum, root and rom. Hope everything will go right.

Kindly yours from an old man:angel:

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DonnPedro:
Alter some difficulties at least I got your MegaKat running.

But i have a problem with SMS. It stopped with a Error every time.

Can someone give me a quick tip.

I read many sides, but couldn't find something.

Sorry for my English.

Titanium Backup could not make Backups. Says there's No space.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
Alright there you have the problem. Titanium is not supported for kitkat if i am right and it has been spoken about in the megakat op. Titanium is bad for ur phone and you have to completly remove titanium backup and all its files thats left because you cant use them. And if you removed it you need to flash megakat again and dont forget the full wipe man.

I hope this helps.

Best regards
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
That I did not know about TB. That blows. Is there any word if it will be? I like and paid for TB. One of the few apps I paid for...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
Yeah it sucks man and that you payed for it... but thats the price that you have to pay and live with it if you are on kitkat, sorry. And something that megalomanic also said in the op, he payed for alot of apps that he cant use anymore when hes on kitkat.

But yeah i actually do not care about that because i switch alot with roms and customizing apps.

If you want to backup your apps try it in your recovery witb the custom backup... didnt test it yet maybe can somebody verify it for us, could be usefull.

Or do what i do is that i manually install my apps... you know there is an app called 'root uninstaller' but you have to buy the pro version. Then you can manually backup your apps that you want it saves the apk. File and stores them all in a folder. And when i am installing them i turn on the option for apps installing outside the play store and uncheck the 'only 1 app to install' so i can contineau with installing... it takes a time so have a seat ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Searched the G Pro 3 but saw nothing.

For now the Huawei and the LEnovo might be the only other option if Samsung doesn't release a real MEga upgrade:

They just announced the Huawei ascend mate 7...thats an awesome bit of kit...extremely powerful processor very similar to exynos cpu in the note 3...quad a 15 plus quad a7 octacore. ..6.1 inch 1080p screen and Sony camera...great looking phone and specs as long as root/dev is possible that's looking like a great phone

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Tbh there shouldn't be any issues flashing megakat whatsoever if you follow the instructions in the op...it's not a hard process...odin flash stock kk....flash recovery. ..flash megakat...root...done...so I'm not sure how you had trouble with that...and if you have any "bugs" you need to clean flash because there aren't any ....other than apps not being compatible but that's thr app developers and kk problem not the rom

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
I don't use to backup. I use it more for deleting and freezing apps. Never really restored apps. I'd rather download them fresh.

Thanks

ps

The Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro is really looking like a monster phone as well. Samsung better get their act together. I love the edge but I cannot see going lower than 6". 6.3 - 5.6(7)" is a big drop lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea that's fine I use it for freeze some like 3 apps and to convert google now from system to user app but data restore does not work properly after 4.2

Mega

Lol yea I will rock the Mega 6.3 until I can get something 6 plus inches...but that kirin 925 Huawei processor is extremely powerful man...ascend mate 7 is the one I'm eyeing...if there's root/rom I'm def getting one
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I just just wanted to clarify something as I've noticed the talks of it especially with ifa going on right now...i have no plans to replace my mega 6.3s whatsoever...unless something comes out which is as big or bigger and higher spec...the fact is the Mega is faster now than a year ago and just as snappy as most newer phones, plus the camera screen and call quality have greatly improved...as much as I love new toys and specs ect the Mega offers a package that's almost unbeatable between its size, amazing screen, and snappy performance...so don't misunderstand when I say I'm looking at ohone xyz there's only a small chance a phone will drop with enough perks to replace my mega...Mega will remain my main phone with my note regardless...tbh it would pretty much have to be thr mega 6.3 2nd Gen but at this point I've seen no phones looking like this is the case as of yet...just fyi from my point of view as we discuss phones...Mega is in a league of its own and until something else joins this baby is my go to
