I just wanna say thank you for this awesome ROM! I didnt use custom ROM`s since the days i had the great HTC HD2.

The Mega 6.3 + your ROM = Awesomeness! :good:

regards from germany, Rob

edit says: I also donated 10$ in this second, keep up the good work!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
thank you very much dude...Def glad you're enjoying the build...totally my pleasure man much appreciated for the amazing feedback [emoji106]

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Copied across all 5 threads as lollipop is a hot topic on every thread right now and I think it's super important everyone know what's what before diving in head first...

Fellas I think there's some confusion or misunderstanding of what art actually is or does...art is not a new turbo speed boost or anything lol...art simply stands for Android Run Time...similar to dalvik which just stands for dalvik "jit" controller...ie "just in time" controller....all it does is cache load apks ahead of time of each flash/boot where dalvik does it on the fly...that's literally it....the closest real world analogy is literally the equivalent of flipping from cfq to row on io scheduler...that's about the extent of the benefit of stock art to stock dalvik...going from a heavily optimized fk dalvik to art would be like Uninstalling the cpu controller altogether, and changing animation settings to like 3 or 4x

But I just just wanna make sure everyone understands the reality of lollipop and art especially as its the one main thing i keep hearing people point to why they're excited for 5.0....but i don't think most people understand it in laymens terms...because the expectations for it are somewhat unreasonable in general...but especially due to the hype and long drawn build up/wait for what turned out to be a pretty incrimental update over kit Kat

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
Even if you are right (and porobabely you are) you can't turn the tide, I'm afraid... Somebody decided that ART is better than Dalvik and we have to live with it. How long we can avoid lollipop? 2, 3 years? So alternative is clear: you can stop modding ROMs or start to looking into lollipop... unless the ART proves totally failure...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Actually no you could avoid it completely like i plan to until I'm satisfied with the changes and verify any security issues...and quite easily in fact since I have all the backup and roms to run 4.4.2 indefinitely as my note 1 runs 4.1.2 indefinitely just fine lmao...ans just like the people that are still running my 4.2.2 megafire 2 years later...1 year into kit kat...

if I'm right? Lmao...as if I what? just misunderstood and fluked my way to building this level roms? Haha ok dude?...it has nothing to do with modding or building roms on kk or lollipop that doesn't make any sense as I'll still be building from 4.1.2 to 5.0 lmao...it's not an either or just becuase people don't understand the stuff their talking about like this as if it's some new feature or enhancement lol...it's a cache process dude lmao period it's no plus or minus...theres no big "fail" because there's no "gain" to begin with...nexus 6 is in its 4th or 5th update into art and still is no faster than dalvik...it's a flat change that's it that may or may not get optimized back to the point of dalvik on roms when we get a to start dev on it...if you like it upgrade if you don't don't...the point is i want people knowing the actual facts vs misunderstanding the hype as there is nothing forcing you to upgrade your device...how could they when not ever device will get lollipop? Those devices won't simply stop functioning lol...

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
I am not arguing with you, as I am myself staying on 4.2 and not going to upgrade to 4.4... but what about apps for Android 5 which will be not compatible downwards? There will be still more and more such apps...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Sure there may be an app that will come out that won't work on previous androids it wasn't built for...

But even on lollipop...what about apps that are only aarch64 based not aarch32? If you own a note 4 snapdragon or nexus 6 your stuck on aarch32 with no aarch64 comatpubitliy which is the 1 decent thing about lollipop...this is exactly the reason I suggest staying until we know...lollipop itself is fracturing android in 2...let alone the change from 4.4 to 5.0...the devices left on previous androids and apps that either refuse to update to lollipop or quit supporting their pre lollipop apks ect

Will someone make an app that we can't use on kk or jb sure...but it won't be an app you were used to using so you won't be missing anything...and the way you're thinking about it like more toward the future most devices now won't be compatible with those apps anyway you'd need newer hw than even my note 4...i have backups of all my games and favorite apps I've been preparing for a while becuase i saw this coming and been warning everyone about

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
He mega I may or may not buy a second handed lg g2 (190 euros but it is an hour drive lol)

The oneplus one is a bit too expensive for now and I may buy the oneplus two when it comes out.

Also dropped my htc... got a crack in the screen in the same place as the screen before lol, I think ill just toss it in the dumpster.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Damn man that sucks...you've had a string of bad luck with your devices lately lol...that's def a bummer...idk man I bought a brand nee g flex for 250 off eBay to mess with...I kitted it out and it's been great for what it is...Def a great alternative for the money

[MENTION=2547168]Megalomanic[/MENTION] im back in action. But the smalli file are way different from i left it. Now im on XXUDNK1.

That's cool man right on....you should be able to flash mk on the newer nk1 base just fine...enjoy

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shazzl:
Do you have it i want sesetting, systemui, framework-res and twframework-res i need a look in it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
No not nk1 haven't bothered screwing with it ...just extract them from the stock rom your running it's super easy...use root explorer and copy them to sd ...or extract it like usual on pc from the .tar or using adb ect..if your messing with them you should easily be able to grab them no worries

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Fellas seeing how the firekatn4 v11x build just turned out....i will be updating megakat again this week over spring break bringing over the new tweaks and optimizations...just trying to keep pushing it till we can't get any more out of it

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
Well the g flex first gen... its a fun thing but the specs are pretty... low for a device like that amd support on xda for it... man I dont know I thinks its small community cause its a curved phone and 6 inch.

I will have a look if the prices dropped here too (mostly still expensive as usual)

I might pick up a nexus 5 instead of the g2, theres lots of support for it. But if the g flex is cheap I might consider it...

Now you have it... does the g flex have a microphone on the back? For taking videos it could be real handy, the mega has good sound but you still hear people in the background etc
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
The specs on the g flex are killer dude...it's literally the only reason I bought it knowing I could rebuild it into a beast..they're .identical to note 3...except 720 amoled screen...it's a snapdragon 800 and 3500 maph battery lol...it destroys the g2 man...only comparison is g pro 2 note 3/4 (smaller) or nexus 6 which g pro 2 is the flat twin of flex...thats why im saying for 250 it's untouchable ime...6 Inch phone killer specs...really a fun phone to play with...especially after kitting it up it flies....I'm totally happy with It although I prolly will never carry it full disclosure it's just a toy to mess with/new dev kit

But tbh you're not gonna get a much better camera than Mega on the last two builds unless you buy a relatively new flagship which i realized as flex camera sucks even after rebuilding it...samsung are jus so much better than anyone outside a note or s the mega will be up there in quality

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
Well I dont take pictures at night so the camera should not be a problem, but I saw the price of the thing...

The price for the g flex right now in the cheapest store is around 360 euros (over 400 dollars) and the best known website dutch people mostly use its costs around 550 euros (over 620 dollars)

Prices for phones here will never drop low man... at least you can now get good deals with vodafone and others... for 12.95 I got a good deal of 200 call minutes, unlimited sms, 1.5 gb 4g internet (with abillity to give your mb's to other people signed up your addres, my mom get a 10,000 MB internet each month where 8,000 is free for her, she gives me 5,000 mb extra so yeah its cheap) this is a cheap deal man for a sim only contract lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Dude I bought mine off ebay lol... No store will ever have that kind of a deal at least that I've ever come across

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] latinohot:
great, now we'll wait for V27, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I ended up doing a test rebuild and retweaking a bunch of the new n4 optimizations I pulled from my firekatn4 build trying to build this mega into an absolute beast lol...the aim was to make TouchWiz at .5x the same speed as nova on fast...almost 1:1...uploading both builds tomorrow

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
This is just a general question I'm reposting in all 5 threads...

Is anyone having an issue with you tube constantly showing network error where you have to click and "refresh" basically?...I mainly watch on my note 12.2 running a custom fk build and this last update or two has been hideous...just wondering how widespread it is? I don't watch as much but even my phones have had it a few times lately...so annoying lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] latinohot:
Mine does that from time to time, but when I enable my VPN, then youtube works great.

On a side note, how about including this on the rom? But if I'm asking too much let me know

Nah i am not buying the g flex man... Maybe after a year the g flex 2.

So its now definitly done with my htc... I am not even wasting my goddamn time anymore on the piece of crap that breaks everything when you simply repair one thing.

I tryd to revert to stock and unroot to get ota updates... When flashing and reboot stock recovery it got bricked and i got so mad i smach the pile of crap against the floor with full power and a big ultimate protective case.... The whole frame came loose screen is now shattered and then it fu****n turned on and rebooted.

But i dont care about it. Thing was already doomed.

I might buy a nexus 5 but i will never ever buy a htc anymore. Have to search the market for other phones... I may also consider a huawei ascend p7... If it is fast enough i take it as a secundairy phone. Or maybe a second handed xperia z2 from my sister.

By the way thanks for the new update man! Will try it soon

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Fellas this is just a reminder/heads up...

Due to the shady and bizarre actions google pulled by implementing a ton of new "features" automatically synced and running on our devices with no warning or even a notice...i went ahead and pur together a list with screenshots of everything they've added that you need to turn off...or at least be aware of as some are a bit...well sketchy I'll say...sketchy at best imo

Mega

So we're all aware google apps/services are hideous on the battery...if you've used an android device you know this...sad fact they get worse with each update...here's part of the reason your battery is "donating" anywhere from 20% to 35% to their junky kit...

They added this new Google fit setting and have it auto syncing...gone

They added a new layer and individual pages to location tracking to make it more difficult to see what your accounts are set on...all while broadening their tracking permissions and nearly taking our gps module hostage on this past maps update literally forcing you to grant total access to location at anyway any and all times with or without notice or warning...i shut this off immediately on all my Gmail accounts...

Google notorious for ads is no different thankfully they haven't completely removed the ability to opt out...guessing that's gnow 8 update coming next...more tracking less features yay

Finally is a bit devious imo...as this means they're tracking the device 24/7 and have deep enough access into the bootloader somehow to remotely wipe the device...and this was activated thru an apk update? Just shady

This part really a set me off when I discovered this a few weeks ago

Hopefully this should help at least limit or control the hideous battery use and overreaching data mining and tracking of your device

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] nguyenducanh:
Hey Mega does it need to make a full wipe or just wipe cache when update from V24 to V26?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Clean flash

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] latinohot:
With how intrusive google is, makes looking at alternative roms very tempting.

Maybe is time to develop ways around google for good
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Well you'd have to use a completely different os entirely like tizen or unbutu ect which is quite a feat to pull off....theres no benefit of aosp vs touchwiz based ect...in fact we prolly get slightly less of it than aosp based roms having less google integration not being tied to gel launcher and gnow ect my buddies nexus 6 battery has been getting crushed on 5.0.1 worse than my n4 on Firekat tw 4.4.4 for example...but yea it sucks that's why I'm banking on samsung bringing tizen to the mainstream hopefully as the experience on my gear s with zero google anything has been phenomenal...runs fantastic on a lower powered hw and great ui imo...regardless this bs with Google lately has been ridiculous especially doing it without notice or warning...

You can mod the main and gradient colors now that everything is setup...simply pick the colors you want and opacity and they'll blend together seamlessly

Nice man! I will dig into the theme for a bit.

So i just picked up a huawei ascend P7 for a good price amd get 50 euros back when sign up my P7.

I love the phone and when combined with your themes in zooper its just stunning to see such a beauty.

You guys can say whatever you want about huawei and the ascend P7... But as a p7 user the phone is very good and the camera man, so amazing even with the 8mp front shooter. To keep this beauty untouched as much as possible i will not root it (i dont want it to go like that htc)

Anyway after i have tested the new megakat i might consider to leave xda, i learned the things that i wanted and to keep my phones up to date with roms, been fun for a time.

Thanks for supporting the mega! Will always love your work. Hope you guys have a nice weekend, i will be celebrating my birthday.

Oh sweet man that looks like a pretty good device...esp for a great deal...you too bro...have a happy birthday man

Thanks man, but my birthday was actually on thursday lol, but needed to go to school so could not celebrate.

So after using the P7 for a few days, i am very happy about it, it lasts at least a day to one and a half, easy UI with themes abillity. The only dumb things are that there are some little baby bugs, with big long songs the timer counts 1 second as 2 seconds... But it isnt a big deal.

Bought a glass protection panel for it to keep the screen as it is when it was unboxed.

I have not been around on xda for some time so how are you doing actually? Also any ideas when you want to upgrade to a newer firmware on the mega?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
That's cool man I'm glad you're enjoying the huawei...dude i prolly won't even bother...the last build is so fast and efficient there's no point...and it would only be a fix for that video recording playback I've never once used lol...other than for my personal mega bored over this summer maybe but I'll prolly be working on other stuff more...most mega users have moved to other device's with a ton of people from thr mega using my other roms and threads now...so Idk man not sure what the next move is as my Mega's are running pretty much 1:1 with my note 3 real world so at this point idk how they could get any better

Really noob question but coming from another custom rom I don't need to flash with odin like it says in the op right. Just flash away as a normal
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
No you need to odin when coming from another rom unless upgrading from a previous mk build...too many issues from users not odin flashing and having issues esp coming from an aosp rom

Im on mega fire v20 I havnt updated in a long time as this is my backup device while my main is away. Been in the kitchen draw too long and been a while for me on a samsung lol
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea def have to Odin dude...that's 4.2.2 android based not kit kat

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] galaxys2Tav:
The only thing im finding weird no matter what stock rom I flash now it never boots always bootloops
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
You have to Odin stock 4.4.2 first man...just follow the instructions in op exactly and you should be set...unless your mega has issues its the process your doing thats the problem...follow op files and all

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] galaxys2Tav:
just got in from work and im downloading them now fingers crossed ill get it booting

---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------

yeah pretty sure its something i did maybe using that leak 4.4.2 base that time i can still never boot back to stock fml oh well tried everything so maybe need my samsung mate to have a look at it for me he knows more than me aout all these new samsungs with knox
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
All you have to do is Odin flash the stock kk base unde4 then flash philz like the op instructions...unless your hw is jacked that's all you have to do bro...proper Odin flash will sort the base etc

Obviously make sure you're flashing the proper files and rom for your mega...the unde4 is i9205 base but the i9200 info is there as well

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] nutpants:
Has anyone tried flashing the 9205 version on a Canadian mega? I've been running the cm based 9205 ROMs since they came out but have not tried a two yet.

Than you for any info

Just an update.

Flashed it and it's working fine.

Except that I don't have WiFi

Which is most likely caused by my mega still having the old 422 baseband or bootloader..

Of I can find those for the i527m Canadian mega I'll report back.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Couldn't tell you dude...no clue ...try searching the thread maybe someone mentioned a Canadian mega idk I don't even really remember hearing of it tbh

I doubt it considering the carrier base build and baseband

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] galaxys2Tav:
After all the messing about I have recently found out if I update my phone to 4.4 I will loose all touch on my phone as I have an aftermarket screen for my phone so I won't be able to get the new touchwiz ui by the looks of things -_-
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
That's def a super weird issue lol...have you thought about merely replacing the screen again...or the mega itself seeing how they've dropped in price?

What ui is that? Lollipop? No worries it'll never go on either of my Mega's lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] galaxys2Tav:
Well tbh I mainly use my m7 as a daily driver but its away for repair again and my mega is mainly used for mirroring to my TV lol. I wanted to go onto your note 4 themed ROM and I like the new look of touchwhiz but there only seems to be an hand full of ROMs for the mega. And I'm really limited since I didn't spend much on a new screen
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I'd just use the megafire or if there's other tw 4.2.2 builds by anyone idk whatever works on your mega and deal with it in that case unfortunately there's little you can do otherwise

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] nutpants:
Just wanted to report back.

I finally got my i527m Canadian mega 6.3 updated to the ne5 ROM . tried flashing megakat 26 into it. Got it booted with two issues.

1 no root, yes it's there but it's not working or recognized can't update it with an apk. And can't flash an updated super user to any benefit.

2 WiFi still not working.

So I am guessing it's a kernel issue. I'll look around for a custom kernel and play around with it when I have time.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Just a heads up...it's more than likely the bootloader/baseband...since the same effect happens on i9205 when the boots/basebands don't match which usually is an Odin issue...search the thread I list these known issues early on in mk development...

Are you odin flashing our intl base on your carrier mega?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] nutpants:
No im on the Canadian base ne5.

I willing to try anything on the mega to improve it.
