Hi Mega, Thanks for your help.

I have this issue while using google home launcher or Touchwiz as well,; this issue appear anywhere (Games, facebook, launcher...) either the touch screen stop responding, either it is like i'm clicking the screen without releasing it, like I said, Locking Unlocking the screen with the power button make everything back to normal.

It is random issue, sometime I dont have it for hours, sometime it happens 4 times in 2 minutes. I 've tried to reflash MK V8, same same....I hope this is not hardware related, cuz my boot flag warranty is triggered but the phone still under warranty for one year :(

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea that's what I was afraid off. ..it sounds to me like the touch screen controller or digitizer...of the screen itself. ..now hopefully it's now gonna happen immediately and I sincerely hope I'm wrong but there's nothing really the roms would do that would mess with your touchscreen at all to be honest

Netflix Fix for 4.4.2

Just wanted to let everyone know that if you are having issues with Netflix on MegaKat, here is the link to an xposed module that has fixed it for me, now this rom is perfect! Here is the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2101525
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Money bro that's the last piece to this puzzle. ..loving this...5 friends of mine have bough megas in the last few weeks...nothing else like her out

Mega

Wait this mod works alright for the mega? It's written for exynos hardware...not Qualcomm like we have...thats typically not a good idea...is there maybe another link or something I may have missed? Thanks bro
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shivwest:
Lol thats great there is a small issue with the video being a bit grainy from netflix after using this work around, but hey at least it works!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea about that...see my edit in the previous post...I'm a little confused?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shivwest:
Yeah its actually not written for exynos it is actually just a module that fools netflix into thinking it is running on android 4.0 and forces it to load, it is not actually hardware specific at all! I'm watching some tv on netflix as we speak!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Not trying to argue...i just cannot post this to 50,000 people before I clear this up lol...exynos devices specifically mentioned in header of link. ..

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shivwest:
Yeah dude I get that, I would recommend you try it out first then, I actually found out about this from a nexus 7 thread where people were using this to fix netflix issues on kitkat even though it is not an exynos device, but I can guarantee that on my end everything is working perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
No as long as we're on the same page and you haven't had any issues...worst case scenario you have to reflash the rom lol...nice find

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I think I may have a trick for you. ..i do this anyway since it's faster and Smoother when using my builds...go into developer options in Settings menu....to actuvate dev options... in "about phone" click megafire v15 like 10 times...go back to main settings and go into dev options. ..scroll down and uncheck force Gpu Rendering....this should help at least curb any sort of glitch or trigger that could possibly be there (however remote the chance that its rom based/related)...let's hope for the best and see if this helps/fixes the random weird digitizer glitch buddy and let me know how it goes...even if it stops them from occurring as much that's better than nothing so hopefully this helps buddy

issue with read/write permissions

thanks for the wonderful rom! i just installed on my mega.

However, i tried to restore my contacts from go backup pro, seems like the app is unable to read the data from the sd card.

the same happened when i tried to download images sent from whatsapp. seemed like the app is unable to download to my internal storage.

is this due to the read/write permissions?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea that is almost certainly the case here...you've probably run into an app/data incompatibility issue with kit kat...your data should all be user accessible it's just that apps have limited read/write access in kk and until they get updated you may wanna go a different route...i prefer to backup contacts onto my Sim card just in case...you can do this from Sim management in the contacts menu...or you may go something like Google contacts sync...but yea this is basically the only issue I have with KK or megakat at all is just app read/write access or incompatibility with KK...glad you're enjoying the rom

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Lol what's up buddy...im glad you're still loving the mega and the roms buddy...yea it's not like I've been meaning to slow down its just that there's really not much else that can be done to make megakat or megafire that much better...especially megakat v8/i9200 v9 because it's so good...there will be an update coming in a few days that refines and optimizes the stuff like the audio quality, camera, speakerphone ect that I worked on in the last build....but yea I mean at this point it's megakat v8 is like megafire v15 where its so optimized there's not much room to improve...but you and I both know that's never stopped me from pushing hard to make it that much better if possible...

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:

Hi mega,

Just found out a tiny issue witk megakat.

I try to watch some video i took from my phone earlier. When i go to the gallery and try to plaay them, this is picture by picture playing.... i tried with vlc, mx, samsung video. All the same.

I tried dowbload it to my pc and the video plays lilke a charm.

Any idea why my video playback is so slow?

Fyi, i wiped out everything, flash kk then mega kat. This is a clean install

Thanks for your help
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gilbertvpuen:
Soon as i read your post, i tried mine. Same thing...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I just did a test video and had the same issue...oddly enough Tubemate downloads ands youtube works fine so it's not video playback or rendering...and they play on a pc fine...I'm guessing it's some kind of bug in the base itself of kk...but tbh I have never taken a video in the 13 months I've had my mega other than this test so i didn't try it on Stock kk to see if it has the same bug or not...really weird

Added: by dropping down from the highest resolution to the 2nd highest 1280 x 720 720p playback is perfect with hardly any difference in video quality...it's obviously a bug when camera set to max resolution 1080p playback ...added to op as issue and fix

Mega

Did a single google search and saw tons of these which explains alot...

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Kid_Ding:
im running stock kitkat and it does not have video capture playback issues. have you increased bitrate to improve quality? i know that you tweak camera to produce superb images. just a thought.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
What region firmware are you using. ...one for your mega? Since the note 3 kk has similar issues it's a bug in base kk at some level re like 10,000 articles discussing the same problem on tons of various kk based devices ...if it was strictly playback or rendering or a rom based issue no video playback would work not just a setting of camera recorded video so...I'm assuming it's a mix of region (like how video playback didn't work for a lot of regions on megafire) on top of base kk issues with 1080p or something...regardless I'm not messing with it since video plays fine on computer at 1080 or on the mega at 720 plus other camera apps may or may not have the same bug so imo it's a mute point but one I noted...maybe when I get ready for v2 update well know more about it but for now i mean it have a kk rom this bug free, stable, fast, and smooth to have this one issue I'll take that trade off lmao

Lmao dude your not even using an i9205 hahah ok nvm. ..i needed info on the actual kk rom were using as our base for an accurate comparison to the base rom of megkat lol...anyway no worries there's a note and a fix...but do yourself a favor and get off that terrible stock kk rom dude...it's one of the worst stock roms I've ever seen

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Fellas i want to start a list of any apps you've come across that are incompatible with kk...i know all my full fat games like flick golf, flick soccer ect don't work..but as we head towards v2 update i want to have an idea of what apps or xposed mods don't work so I can add in some cool features and remove some of Bloat for v2 now that v1 is up and running great

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gilbertvpuen:
Not really important to me, but guess i shud report anyweiz. Samsung hub doesnt work here. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] samueldewit:
Its working great! I deleted most of Samsung apps cause I dont use them... Ever. Also I removed the stock browser and replaced it with Material Browser... Only 170kB!! Anyways, I just passed the 7 hours screentime and got 15% left.. I constantly run consuming apps and data so I am pretty surprised, but very pleased with the results.. Looking forward to V2(X)!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Ah yea I'm not sure why that's even in the base rom tbh because samsung shut the entire hub down as far as I know...i didn't really remove many apps but a few google ones because the google kk apps cause massive drain so downloading them vs being system apps let you greenify youtube, gmail ect...but I'll remove the hub since it's not even a store anymore, and clean out some of the other junk

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Excellent dude..i have to say I wasn't sold on kk and had planned on going back megafire...but it's running so fast and smooth, good battery life...besides a few annoying apps that don't work...I'm actually really enjoying it...i absolutely hated stock kk...slow, laggy, no apps to sd ect. ..but I'm loving megakat...glad you are to bro

thanks for making this..

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
You download it from the play store lol just like any other app

Mega

I removed several google apps. ..for one I don't use most except youtube, maps, gmail and now...but more important is they're ridiculous bad on the battery in kk
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jimmbomb:
Well...I did find Google maps in the Play Store..

BUT.. Id like to get the older version with the "LABS" included....

so I can have the 'Larger Text'

Does any-1 have any idea on how I get an OLDER version of Google maps on my MegaKat mega??

thanks... All replies are welcomed and encouraged.

thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
They don't work anymore dude...kk has entirely new sdk (framework which apps are built on) which Is why so many other apps are incompatible so even if you find an old apk of maps it will either not install or run/or jack up your system unfortunately

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jimmbomb:
thanks Megafire!

I guess the new one will have to do..

I sure with one of these apps youve included would allow me to make bigger fonts in the Maps Program...

ie: like change the DPI or something like that..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] samueldewit:
Well yea, thats true tho.. We will see if you can improve more, but I am happy already with V8 :) Thanks for everything!

issue resolved!!

Thanks Mega for the prompt response! I really love my new MegaKat rom. smooth like butter and batt life is longer :good:

After some googling, i figured a way to work around this. For those who are still facing issues, i hope this post will help :o

1) download SDFix app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix&hl=en), run it to allow it to add permissions

2) to be fully sure that the permissions are granted for apps, we need to edit platform.xml file (i use fx explorer root.) to include permissions to read/write. Follow the instructions in this link - (courtesy of Cocolopes' post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2537793). To change the permissions for meda_rw folder, i use ES File explorer)

3) Lastly, download FolderMount app from play store, run it, and app will prompt to fix. Apply fix, restart phone.

4) since we have rebooted the phone, repeat steps 3 and 4 in Cocolopes' post. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2537793)

We have to unfortunately repeat this steps 3 and 4 whenever we restart our phones :(

whatsapp and go backup and most other apps should be able to read and write and work fine! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Awesome buddy I'm glad you got it worked out...thanks for the share...a few of us have had to end up doing the permission hack to reinstate user data to SD thanks to jerks at Google removing it in kk lol...Unfortunatly it's just another layer on top of the actual app incompatibilities due to the kk sdk changes vs apps that just have sd write blocks lmao the transition to kit kat has been a bit of a mess haha....enjoy the rom bro

Hopefully people aren't being paid to prop it up. After a few days of use people seem to have better life. I like the looks of it. I have not worn a watch in decades, yes lol

I like the looks and if I can get a steady 1 day and charge at night I am ok with that. I am sure the dev community will somehow figure a way to root and we can play with it a bit.

Idk dude all I know is that I was severely under impressed when I played with it...it was thicker than my note 3, felt and looked very strange (imo and my buddies) on the arm, and managed around 1 hour of use time or 10 standby before it died so it went back...just relaying his experience...i couldn't fathom spending 250 on it tbh not in the condition they released it in...i mean it's just Google wear not even modified so it's a square uo on a round watch that looks so stupid an may be the worse part...i was looking forward to it as well but they fell hard on their face imo...I'm gear s all the way

A few friends on G+ had a terrible first experience and badmouthed it. After the first update and the recent 4.4 update they said the phone was acceptable and should have been like this day one.

i flashed it 4 times .. but still the wifi will not turn on

as soon i open it it closes

should i go back to MegaFire Mj2 Deodex i9205 V15 and than try it again ?

can i just flasch MegaFire Mj2 Deodex i9205 V15 from philliz and than start over ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
You need use the correct provided odin 3.09 and flash the stock kk rom...it's not my rom zip it's the stock odin that you skipped or didn't properly flash causing it...that's why I said follow op

i hate never problems flashing your roms and i know for a fact that your rom is the best.. this is the first time i have these problems.. and i really think i did it right
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Sorry dude there's no debate I literally have these issues laid out in the op for bad odin flash...this is the only cause of the wifi/security crash so either way reflash odin stock rom...but you're right it's not an issue with my builds it's the bootloader and baseband you need from the stock odin...we're you just coming from megafire I take it?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DreamVidz:
yes.. coming from megafire... some help will be nice .. if you have the time
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Dude I told you go back and follow the op...you have to odin flash the stock rom dude

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DreamVidz:
as i told you before .. i did it 4 times and it is not helping.. so i get back to your last megafire and i stay there .
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Dude you said you flashed my rom 4 times...if you odin flashed stock properly 1 time you wouldn't have these issues...here's the deal man you have to flash the bootloader and baseband properly before you can run megakat...and to do it you have to use odin 3.09 so download another version or use mine in the op...the only way the issues you mentioned with wifi and settings is caused by bad odin flash of the boot and baseband...ive explained it 4 times now so you know how to proceed if you want from here or hang on megafire either way it's your call

Have any i9200 users flashed the I9200UBUDNG1 update, it just dropped today, it is kk and has a new changelog. Just wondering if there was any difference between this and the I9200XXUDNF3 update which MegaKat is based on.

Lol yeah it definitely is and you're going to be without wifi until Metro get their sh*t together.... how do you like the 360 though?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I never really do intermittent updates man...i think you asked me before right? Almost always these are nothing but staggered regional builds identical to one another...they literally push every country as single build then "update" the rom and it starts again...i doubt I do a new MegaKat until 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 because their never really updated. ..or I've already fixed xyz in the rom before they do it in stock...put it this way. ..never once in almost 200 roms across 43 devices now I've literally never seen an improvement/update pushed out to one region before all regions get the build...and never really seen any improvement other than the 9 month gap between mega origin 4.2 build and the final mj2 build there were a few slight changes...but that was longggg after every region git several builds of 4.2 so it's almost never worth the time or hassle

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shivwest:
Oh no sorry for that impression Mega, I wasn't asking for an intermittent update i was just wondering if anyone had tried it and if there was anything new in it, I'm perfectly happy with MegaKat as it is now. Also btw do you think we will get a 4.4.4 update? I think I saw that the gs4 got one, maybe it is a sign that we will eventually get one too?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Oh yea no worries I was just saying that because alot of people don't understand the rollout system where the change list can literally be a language pack update xyz...honestly man I don't know...given the fact we have yet to hear officially of the mega 2 even though the firmware is live on Samsung updates and its for sale in India. ..i can't figure out Samsung's game plan tbh...i thought we'd have heard of mega 2 by now then I would've said maybe 4.4.4 a few months after I t launches but 6 months after I expected the announcement I can't really say...the s4 is a bit of an unfair comparison to base it on because it sold 50 million devices...the mega while gaining ground...didn't lol so tbh I really don't know if samsung will push an update to us or not since we got the major update in kk and 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 is extremely small

Mega

I am downloading mega 2 firmware and gonna strip it out and see what I can steal for us lol...even though most of it looks basically the same we shall see
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
