I used Odin 3.04. I created a seperate Odin tar file from the official tar file with only the system and boot images. Then flashed it over Carbon ROM via Odin after factory reset. I am running NF2 with Grarak's Kernel 2.6_TW and TWRP recovery at present.

See the attached screenshot. On the left is the modified tar file I made. On the right is the official tar file.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mario1634:
What is NF2
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Stock ROM NF2.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mario1634:
Ok Thanks, do you used any of the roms you upload and which one is your favorite
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
I am on spirit and I check all the ROMs I make. I flashed stock to update some blobs
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Droidphilev:
Hmmm, i don't know what 'blobs' are. This means we should all flash stock once in a while? If so: hard to know which rom doesn't update modem and bootloader :(
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Check my github. You'll know what's going on. None of the custom ROMs update bootloader or modem.

I modify the stock ROMs before flashing so that it doesn't update the bootloader/modem.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Droidphilev:
Hi,

Checked it but complete chinese to me. I know that custom roms never update modem/bootloader but i was thinking that you mean that flashing a stock rom was needed for every one, not just devs. The stock rom that you have modified... is it somewhere to download? (if it's needed to flash it for normal users)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] erljayp:
I can't seem to enable any form of tethering. Both usb and wifi hotspot doesn't work.

Can anyone please help?

Thank you. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Mukiai:
Had you set it in settings? I had to use my phone as wifi hot-spot during a week and all was fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Droidphilev:

works fine
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] erljayp:
Thanks guys. :)

One last question. Can I use a 4.2.2 stock rom as base for this? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Yes, you can.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Droidphilev:
Hi,

Any one using Chrome on Spirit? I can't open Chrome settings anymore since today's update. Clearing data un/reinstall etc didn't help.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Mukiai:
I'm on chrome beta and no problème, if it can help:)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Droidphilev:
Indeed, the beta works. Strange thing is: on my 9300 with Spirit the new chrome works normally.

Thanks allot Silesh! Will try with new nano Gapps and report later on.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mario1634:
What's nano gapps, if you don't mind me asking
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Droidphilev:
How do you dare to ask this?!?!?!?! :laugh:

now serious:

Banks has quit making minimal gapps. So TKruzze made a special small gapps package for ex-Banks users called 'nano gapps'. (Still much bigger than Banks but better than nothing i guess)

Hello again,

Report:

-buttons are still gone in landscape

-killing apps doesn't work (there is something changed though: in 1.2 there was a toast that the app was killed. In 1.3 this toast is gone.)

I dirty flashed. Maybe it needs a clean install. Will try this later on or tomorrow and report back. Thanks for the hard work!

(Nano Gapps working fine)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Killing apps work. I just tried it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Droidphilev:
I guess its not dirty flashed on yours?

First will try to reset navbar and after that i will try fresh flash

EDIT:

Strange: did a clean flash and enabled navbar. for long press "back key" on navbar i chose "kill task". Opened an app and long pressed 'back'. It goes back but the "force close" button in settings for this app is still not greyed out. In other words: it doesn't work on a clean flash either on my phone. Maybe difference in phones?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Which twrp? You have to use the one I made, v2.7.0.5 or philz cwm recovery. Twrp 2.8.0.x is having problems flashing ROMs, AFAIK.....

I will update twrp next week.

Could I suggest you a clean install if update not works?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Droidphilev:
Touch works fine after dirty flashing but i will have to full wipe also :(

Since 1.4 multi sim support was added and stock messaging doesn't work coming from 1.3>1.4>1.5 without a full wipe
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] SkyQaz:
With the latest build and reverted kernel to cm, will be battery life better than before ?

As you said in aicp thread,

Does this spirit v1.6 has some lag too due to dsb ? And how about kernel in spirit v 1.6
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Yes and new kernel. You have the option of not activating DSB if you find the lag too much.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] SkyQaz:
Ok, o love dsb but if it lag too much i think better disable it for now.

And about new kernel, will it works for me? You know i got blank screen in v1.5

Already do that..but problem still persist.it only happen when taking videos..but its seems normal when playing video..its only happen on video mode
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
Ah that old dumb story.

I had it with my s3 mini, apparently some launcher or apps can interfere with the camera, for me the camera was stretched out like crazy. Try to find the app that causes it and if it still exist please tell me, i am currently going into spirit rom right now so i will have a look.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Flash this and see if it fixes your issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] wan_6142:
Still not working
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] SkyQaz:
I got issue with phone call, sometimes i cant hear voice but sometimes its ok, and also sound quality not very good.

Btw v1.6 battery life is better than previous version, and i can say also better than stock kk tw,

Many thanks silesh
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Mukiai:
look at the right permission (644, rw-r--r--) reboot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, then reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
I agree with you, i try alot of roms that are out there and seek a little bit for bugs in them. Battery life was draining a bit for me but i forgot i didnt turn off sync and location. Now i can read 30 minutes on xda and other with auto brightness and lose 1%.

Stock isnt that bad at all, only problem for me was the ram usage all the bloatwate used. But there is an custom touchwiz based out there been using it for long time, battery holds on normal use like whatsapp it holds 1.5/2 days on full charge, the rom itself is very good but youtube for me was a bit laggy when watching vids in 720p.

We have to thank silesh for bringin the roms to our mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] SkyQaz:
But i got no issue with phone call while in spirit v1.4

My personal opinion is i say no to tw..... Thats why i flash aosp based custom rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] its the peanut:
Yep i confirm this problem, have it on Spirit Rom and also on liquidSmooth (both latest version and both tryd lenovo camera and stock)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Dude. Please stop posting crap. The latest LS build doesn't have the video pixelation with the stock camera. I have attached a screenshot of the same in the LS thread.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TT01:
I received my wireless charging receiver today, so I installed it and tried it out on my existing (From S3) Qi charging pad. Seemed to work OK.

Tonight I put the phone on the pad and it starts playing "Over the Horizon" from the speaker. Over and Over again. The only way to get it to stop is to re-boot, but if I put in on the charging pad, it plays that damn song again.

I am rooted, completely stock (including recovery) using towel root. I manually replaced the 2 framework files for the hotspot fix, which is all I really care about. Knox is not tripped.

I have used root explorer to rename all instances of "Over_the_Horizon.mp3" to 'notOver_the_Horizon.mp3' including the one labled as media preview. (Samsung must be very proud of this track, I count at least 6 instances on the device.)

I have renamed the charging connected sound to *.bak, and I get no sound from a usb charger, its just the wireless charger.

There is nothing in the task bar to indicate something is playing music. There is no task to kill that I can find. I have used the stock recovery to clear caches, didn't work. Volume control has no effect until sound is off.

This is driving me a little nuts.

The temp solution is to turn off all sound, but there has to be a better way, so I'm asking. I'm sick of this song. Please Help.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TT01:
Solution Found

OK, here is what I did to solve this problem.

Re-flashed NE5. This restored all my system/media/audio/ui files. I had renamed some and deleted some because I don't like them.

The trick is that if the 'WirelessChargingStarted.ogg' file is not found because of deletion or even renaming, the default file (that damned) 'Over_the_Horizon.ogg' will play. Then because it's an error condition, it will keep playing forever, or until re-boot, whichever happens first.

So, I renamed a file that is not obnoxious (Pen_att_note1.ogg) and renamed it 'WirelessChargingStarted.ogg after renaming the original to .bak. This has solved my problem.

I have re-rooted with towel root and reinstalled the hotspot hack and all is well. When I charge my phone, I now do not wake my wife.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
If you wan't it completely silent, my post with a file called silent.ogg will give you complete peace. (I hated it too!)

Tring to upgrade "dirty"

I do keep a copy of the stock rom for when stuff hits the fan. I also have a backup i made before I went S-off. I deleted a few of the system apps that were bugging me before I learned that OTA also checks apps.

I'm trying to get the OTA without wiping my phone and all the setup time I have so far spent on it.

I just try to install the OTA again this time i checked the log. I get "/system/app/Plusone.apk" has unexpected contents. I guessing this is caused from my removing apps. I'm thinking i can use this to find what the installer thinks is missing.

My last question, is there a way to extract .apk and .odex files from the ruu?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] miggsr:
okay with the first half of what you said... i have not had an ota check for apps... when removing google plus you probably left a second apk that works with it hence your error message. if you are looking to be able to take an official ota you should NOT be rooted. honesty if you meet ALL REQUIREMENTS i listed then just follow the guide you should be fine. the backup i have there is based on initial rom that came with the device. so you will have to do 3 ota updates to be exact. i made it that way out of personal preference. now for the second half of your post ... as i mentioned i am not a dev unfortunately i can not answer that question for you... slightly above my pay grade. not to put you on the spot either i'd like to keep thread on topic in OP.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] miggsr:
not to be rude but if you have read the instructuions in full... this method does not change unlocked or locked unless you specifically set it. now with that in mind remember that applying those commands will only work if you are S-OFF
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] PartimusPrime:
Ok I did read the instructions and I don't understand your reply. I was just asking for clarification that if I use the method outlined to relock my bootloader, will the banner change to LOCKED or will it change to RELOCKED. There's some methods of relocking bootloader that won't change it to LOCKED but change it to RELOCKED. Thanks.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
The method in the OP will set the banner to LOCKED. As Miggs stated, though, you must be S-off to use this method.

Would be supper helpful if i could find similar option for a h/k model! Tried running ruu but for some reason my comp will run it until first popup status bar fills up and then disappears.

If the RUU ran fine for one device, then it will run fine for the other. In your case you need to use a H/K version RUU.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mugzylol:
Rooting your device requires an unlocked bootloader so that you can flash a superuser .zip. You can, however root and relock your bootloader. There is also the wugfesh toolkit which will run root commands automatically when you press a button. It can also relock your bootloader as well. I'm not sure that if you run root without running unlock that it will unlock the bootloader but I believe it will. So I guess try the wugfresh toolkit.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] DMF1977:
Rooting your device does not require unlocking the bootloader... I rooted with towelroot, flashed custom recovery (twrp), then flashed a custom ROM from recovery, all while the bootloader was still locked...
