Thanks a lot dude [emoji106] totally not necessary but definitely Hella appreciated...hope you're enjoying the update

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] nutpants:
Im going to give this a try on my i527m and see what happens.

The metro mega seems to have the same partition table as the 527m so why not give it a try.

I've been reading but im still confused about root..

Is v26 rooted and if not what is the procedure to root?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
This will more than likely brick your mega I wouldnt flash this it's a tmo carrier build

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] nutpants:
This contains just the system partition correct?

If there is no modern, or boot loader, the worst that should happen would be a soft brick..

The tmo had the same processer and the same partition table. Afaik

And God knows I've soft bricked every phone I've had over the years. As long as I can get back into twrp or download mode I should be able to get it back to stock.

It's worth a try, factory 442 is just a slow bloated pain.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
No...system and kernel which are bootmatched and baseband matched...but if you wanna soft brick your Mega for something to do have at it lol

Stock anything sucks but it doesn't make sense when you have the intl MegaKat build this is based off hahah

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mands386:
I flashed V26 and it appears that the problem I was having earlier wasn't with the sd card but with the internal storage

I'm running megafire just fine
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Do you have a metro mega?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mands386:
Yes
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
The internal storage? Hmm idk I've only heard of a couple sd weirdness issues with 4.4.4 app compatibility...Def Odin the stock 4.4.4 every time you ever flash from mf in between flashing mk 4.4.4

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mands386:
Alright I'll try to do that today
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
OK cool...that should sort any issues with the internal that aren't 4.4.4 app incompatibility issues

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mands386:
I tried doing what you said and the same thing was going on so I just restored megafire, I guess my phone doesn't like Kit Kat [emoji17]
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Doesn't wanam and other xposed mods fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
There shouldn't be any internal storage issues...idk why there would be any internal storage issues...

Did you have issues on stock 4.4.4 mands?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mands386:
Maybe it could be beacuse my stock rom doesnt work it just force stops when i boot in to it
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Lol well yea that's def a problem...you need to get the base rom 4.4.4 properly odin flashed and stable before trying to further mod anything...try downloading a different odin

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mands386:
I downloaded an Odin and it turned out to be malware do you have a link for one?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Try this...

Man. We eventually have to upgrade. I guess it's time to start looking for certain alternatives that exposed gives us.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Idk man i mean as long as the basics are still supported for kit kat...which will be for several years...im in no rush tbh there is very little to be gained and alot to be lost going to lollipop...my take on it is like you're seeing on fkn4 thread...ill do the builds ect and try to polish ans optimize them but I'll ride out kk until at least the basics are compatible like simple root is even still a trick so idk I'm not rushing into upgrading maybe several months down the road...but as long as you have odin the base roms and zips...plus apk backups there really is nothing forcing an update...theres not even a google now type incentive that only works on lollipop or something like we had for 4.1.2...so idk I don't see it as a pressing issue only there for those who want the update

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
This is true. Just hearing that the lollipop bug fixed rom is working pretty nicely. Same as when KK sucked in the beginning but with updates it was better than its predecessor.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Dude I'm sorry I can't understand what you're trying to say here...what lollipop bug fixed a rom huh?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
ROFL I am getting over a bad cold. I don't understand what I wrote!

What I meant to say was that the first version of lollipop has bugs in it. It should get better in time. The same way KitKat was buggy in the beginning and, even you said it sucked in the beginning, for better with updates. We ended up getting better battery life then 4.2 and 4.3.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea for sure they'll hopefully improve and roms will also as we learn the new system...there is a bit of an issue that's different now tho...the amount of security....and the upcoming split to 64 bit and 32 bit android...it's hard to tell where the focus will be...I'm just hoping samsung bring us a decent 5.0.x and Xposed and wanam get working for it....really that's all I want to update but until then I'm just not seeing anything worth giving up all the tools and mods

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] nutpants:
Can I ask how you removed the data mining from the system apps apks?

I'm big on security and information like that would be quite useful to me.

Thank you for any information you can provide.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea man...by removing all Google dns and arbitrary data permissions, punting eulog access, and by blocking Google kernel permissions access all in the system base level throughout the build

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] all4game:
any chance will have porting to mega i9200??? i want to get 4.4.4 rom very bad sir
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Lol no...Jw why? There's like zero benefit or improvement between the bases 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 and no visible change...just curious why? Lol if it was a step up I'd have done it and have it running on both my personal megas lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] all4game:
i think your metro megakat more adorable and i really love that rom. like change to S5 and fast shutting down and boot up.

i was test your rom in my i9200 but my SIM not detecable. your are only one LIVE dev on mega. i think all other dev are gone :(
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Dude all the features in this build are ripped directly from my main megakat i9205 i9200 build to begin with lol...it's only 4.4.4 because metro the carrier released it on that base but visibly and functionally everything's identical between the megakat and MegaKat metro that's why I asked.... anyway man whatever you decide on good luck enjoy

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] all4game:
if identical sir... why so much different??

i tell you the difference

Test DEVICE : i9200 (melius3g)

like shut down

Megakat

we will pres ok to shutdown

Metro

immedeatly shutdown nothing to pop up anymore

Themes

Megakat

Note4 theme

Metro

S5 theme

Signal

Megakat

H+

Metro

4G (first install. and after that sim not detect)

Boot up + shutdown time (summary)

Megakat

27 + 9 = 36 sec

Metro

22 + 4 = 26 sec

i think thats the difference. where the identical mean?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Dude none of my roms are themed lmao...theyre both stock tw...idk what you're talking about...you could only even boot metro properly if you have a metro mega...if you can't run it where are these times and stuff coming from lol?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] all4game:
no no. i mean themed are change the build.prop sir.

and status bar icon are change to no4/s5

no sir i can make the video if u want. your metro has properly work in my mega i9200

but not detect sim.

first install is detecy, and more2 trying i try until 20-26 times flashing stock-metro-stock to metro. the sims cant detect

i really admire your work sir.

but u cant tell me what i do to port in i9200, and its end for me then sir. nothing i could do

i serach and look for 2 weeks now for i9200 work in 4.4.4 . and nothing come out the result, and devs cannot help it, so i will shut it down for now. thanks sir

but if u realy can change your mind, you can pm me sir :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Right like I'm saying...you can't odin flash the base metro stock rom therfore the metrokat rom does not run properly that's what I've been saying...but ps the build prop change works for 4.4.2 to give you grid ui and s5 theme...and icons simply are die to the carrier which again you can mod into 4.4.2 lol...that's the point I'm trying to say...the boot time on on a semi functional improperly installed Ron isn't representative dude better or worse...you can continue down the port road but I'm just telling you your wasting your time imo...good luck dude

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mands386:
Hey mega sorry i haven't had time to try the different odin, I had to do my senior project which is a pain in the ass, but i finally tried it and it worked I haven't had a problem with either storage, Thanks for your help
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
OK cool glad that sorted it for you

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mands386:
I've been searching for a way to make my settings the way you have in the picture but the ones I've tried doing work, can you point me in the right direction?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea just download the Xposed s5 ui mod for note 3...works perfectly on the mega

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
Hey megalomanic14,

I want to thank you for all the work you've done for the Metro Mega and for the Mega 6.3 in general. I've really enjoyed your Roms over the last two years. This phone has been the favorite of all the phones I've owned. It's my baby and always will be. But, sadly my second Mega died last week. It would cost more to fix it than what it would be worth doing. So today I had to buy an Lg G Stylo. I really hope you and the others continue enjoy your Megas for me.

Brian (bnb25)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
That's a bummer that it went...for sure man its been a blast the last few years...I def appreciate it I'm glad you enjoyed the roms man...Hope you enjoy the new lg setup dude take care

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] curgervending:
Mega,

In the "[ROM] MegaKat Deodex V30 i9205/V31 I9200 4.4 Stock Tw KK Unbelievable Performance" thread, you mentioned last month that you were planning to update all Mega builds with the V30 mods. I'm not asking for a time frame but just wanted to know if it's still in the cards for our MetroPCS Megas?

By the way, your ROMS are excellent. I compared real world performance of my Mega with some of the latest high end phones and was not impressed with the high end phones at all - my phone seemed to operate at the same level. I used to upgrade phones every 6 months or so and would only get the latest unlocked high end device even if I had to import it from overseas ($$$$$$) but I've had this simple mid-range phone since it came out back in 2013 and have not been phased at all by the new phones that have come out since then- your ROM has a lot to do with that. I haven't even unlocked my phone because I don't plan to sell it (and am happy with MetroPCS service where I live). The phone manufacturers must hate you - LOL. Your work is truly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Lol thanks alot man i def appreciate the feedback...yea I'll update all the mega roms...I'll prolly finish the new metro build this week...enjoy man

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Getting ready to start uploading the metro MegaKat v30 build

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] curgervending:
Excellent. Thanks in advance. How do you improve perfection? LOL. V26 is great. I can't even think of what would make it better or what needs to be updated. I guess that's why I'm not a developer. LOL.

And check your paypal account. I know you don't feel it necessary but just another way to let you know that your work is appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Lol thanks alot man...I'm having to re upload everything from yesterday cuz afh was having trouble....mkmv30 is uploading now hopefully android host is smoothed over today so this afternoon it should post...thanks again man glad your enjoying the builds

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
V30 is live in the op...enjoy

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
I haven't touched a Mega in some time. As you know I'm running FireKat. Omgosh! I'm impressed! I'm using my fiance's Mega and it is zippy! Of course i didn't tinker much with it after i installed it for her last year. I think that's why i was having issues on mine lol

I truly miss that screen size :( Sometimes the hardware shows on the Mega vs Note 4. Nevertheless, major kudos to you on this rom!

I'm still dumbfounded lol

She has some issues but it's because of the various drops and abuse to the phone lol The charger port is faulty. Has a cracked, barely visible, screen that was only protected because of an invisible shield. Proximity sensor is done. Etc... Anyway, it's still going. We'll see how long it holds. She better make it last to Note 5 comes our haha
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Fantastic dude I'm glad you're enjoying it...hope she is as well...sounds like it's slowly giving in lol...you liking the N4?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
She loves it. Pretty zippy.

I really wish they would make a Mega with decent specs. I like the Note 4 but really miss the size of the Mega.

I'll hook her up with v30 over the weekend.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
It'd def another notch up but yea I agree man...I doubt they have the kahones lol...I honestly think they know if they dropped even a note 3 spec snapdragon 800 in the mega body with a newer camera sensor...I think that would destroy the note series I know I'd be all over it in a heartbeat lol...too bad they keep handicapping the note instead of doing a mega note 5 mix [emoji86]

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
The wifey likes the note 4. She keeps hinting at it.

Mega is much weaker vs note 4. Terrible screen vs note 4. Sound is not good vs note 4. No pen. Cheap construction. Lacking a lot of software features vs note 4. Camera sucks vs note 4. I can go on...

Using the mega today and all those things mentioned above, including the Mega being a lil beat up, i still think i may switch with her. I love how it is still decently zippy. I really love the RE.

Ordered a case and charger port. Going to repair and user it until it dies. Hopefully it survives until a larger phone comes out.

Btw, did you ever get that 6" phone from overseas that you said though might get?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea in raw power terms sure the N4 is far more powerful... but in day to day stuff theyre pretty close on my setups...where it excel Is is def the camera and features but camera aside I still use my megas a majority of the time when I'm at home... there's just something special about the mega ime

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Downloading the newest megakat.

She'll be happy. Haha!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Hopefully your guys metro build turned out as well as our mk build did...she should be pretty happy....i think you'll be surprised yourself between the responsiveness and the camera...it's all stuff I developed working on our pr builds lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
I downloaded and will let you know this weekend. Friday is a holiday for the markets. Will try it then.

BTW, which model of the Tablet did you have? I know you had a 12"er you played with for a bit and you made a rom for.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Note pro 12.2 and I just picked up a tab pro 8.4 that I dig...but the n12 is my go to i use several hours a day

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
I'd like something with a pen. I think i may pick up a 12"er. Stock, the tablet sucks. Laggy. I saw your vid and with the ROM it looked liquidy.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea man I gotta say it was flying when I sent that bad boy off...i have a surface pro that I just got for development and other work but I use my n12 for literally everything else...I'm on it constantly...alot of times it works like a sick flat screen cuz I can pull 7.5 hours screen on at about 50% brightness watching 1080 and 1440p videos lol...throw in the size speed and pen and I've been blown away since day 1 tbh

I really cannot recommend the n12 enough...stock it sucks but once set up man they're incredible

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Was looking for your tablet ROM and I could not find it... Did you ever upload it?

If there is no thread I may just do a 10.1 Note.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Nope none of them are posted for tab 8 pro, n12, n2014, n8 ect all hidden like many other device builds lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Some of these devices have little to no support. Your roms would be a huge help! Some even have roms but all aosp junk lol
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Hey Mega,

Does this rom have tether mod? Was reading the op and 2nd post but couldn't find any mention.

Thanks for your reply on pm and you're mods.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I don't remember if we needed it or not...i thought it came with your guys build/service no?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Not sure. Haven't had it in some time.

The note 4 is unlimited. I think the mega isn't.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea but i prebuilt the tethering mod into fkn4....i though Bnb or on of the guys said a while ago it came on your guys setup natively cuz it's part of your plans? Idk tho its been so long and so many builds lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Ha-ha. It's built in. Pay of the tmo build. Was wondering if there was a mod for it to have unlimited. Any idea if xposed or another mod for it?

Well, I'm typing from the Mega. Love the screen size! Feels good. I'm sure it will settle within the day or two.

Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
There probably is...idk evough about your guys side of the system to do what I did with n4 prebuilding the work around...the other downside is tmo has been tracking it since December even thru the mod tho they're allowing a certain limit on some plans but alot of guys have gotten notices and stuff so I don't know which routes best having so little metro/tmo experience...do you use tmo APN?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Ugh... I miss this size! Megakat is flowing nice! Thanks.

On firekat I've not had issues.

I do use tmo apn. It does have metropcs aon as well. It works but i use the tmo one.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea I think most of the punting is over they're simply watching imo at this point with the full workaround...what I'm asking is you're asking to enable the same thing on metro mega but do you use a tmo or metro sim in it? Then you probably use similar APN on the note and mega so a work around may be doable I'm just not sure with the different base and firmware if it hits the same system to be quite honest...with att I can't even test the Tmo one lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
I'll figure it out.

On another note. The call volume on my end, hearing, is very low. I switched to the note 4 and it's louder. What steps can i perform to make the call volume louder?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Viper4Andoid is the easiest way...you're prolly hearing the difference between the +5 note sound mod which is def loud out of the gate

You can also mod the mixer path file in system/etc

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Yes. I can barely hear what people are saying. I have to press the phone hard.

What and how do I change?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Just install viper and boost gain a few dB before attempting any mods

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
I did.

I tried this and it helped.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2390659

Sounds better and only a tad lower than the Note 4.

I extracted to see what to do and what if i could increase and i was lost. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Well, the chapter for me on this phone is.... over :(

It was not the rom. Seems that the phone is a lil low and I couldn't figure how to raise the call volume and the signal in the office is pretty weak. The Note 4 still worked inside so I am getting a Note 4 for myself now.

Thanks for this rom and all the help!!!

rip Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea that's a bummer...toy had a good run but the carrier binds kind of ensure the inevitable...I'm sure you'll love your n4

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Christogq:
I'm late to the party, but are you saying I can get the wifi tethering like I can on Megafire? That's the only thing holding me back from using this Rom lol. I've been wifi tethering every single day for my PS4 and I haven't had any problems. Except for when I gotta download updates. It recognizes that as tethering data, but everything else it just sees it as mobile data. I am using a MetroPCS sim card and I use either a Tmobile or Metro APN. They're damn near identical. Let me know if there's anything you need me to try. I neeeeeeeds that tethering lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mands386:
Tethering works fine I've actually updated my ps4 with it
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Ok awesome thanks for verifying mands

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Christogq:
Top of the morning to us Mr. Mega! I flashed using Philz and everything went smooth. Rom looks great and feels great. Rooted fine I think. My only issue is that I can't get my Wifi to turn on and I can't sign in to my google stuff. I haven't had a chance to read through the thread. I'm sure it's something I screwed up though lol. Any suggestions?

I'm coming straight from Megafire V23
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
You have to odin flash the 4.4.2 metro stock base before flashing mk bro...you can simply flash it over the old mf base

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Christogq:
Good ole user error lol. I figured it was something I did or didn't do. Thanks a million my man!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Lol no problem dude...once you get that sorted you should be set

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Christogq:
Omfg! This is easily the best rom I've ever used. It's so ****ing fast and I'm not even a speed freak like that! This is amazing!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Lol hell ya dude I love that you're digging the build Thanks for the awesome feedback ...glad you got everything up and running man...enjoy

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Christogq:
Mannnnnnn this **** is pure awesomeness. I have 1 more question. I am not getting the same type of battery life as i did with Megafire. Is that possible? I have all my same programs installed. I could be messing with the phone way more than i used to. It's like a new toy to me lol
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Lol it is and it isn't...in that it's faster than megafire was so it's slightly less efficient...but shouldn't be a huge difference...part of it is just settling the rom in and getting your apps under control...I like greenify for that...I'm glad you're enjoying your mega again man like breathing a little new life in her...these are amazing kits I love my mega so I'm stoked your enjoying it

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Christogq:
Hey did you do anything special for it to hide your tethering as regular mobile data? I used it today and it didn't hide it at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mands386:
No, I just turned it on and used it like that
