I'm so sorry about that jerk :/

Have you ever made a ROM for the SPH-L600? I would love to use your ROM on my phone but I can't!

Looks like you aren't his first victim

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Thanks man...no I never did because there was never a base Deodex and building blind has just become a nightmare anymore...it's your guys cdma radio that's the issue as everything else apparently worked on Megafire

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Thanks alot dude...just hella annoying and somewhat baffling man

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Thanks dude...no not that in the build itself I've hidden a bunch of keys that only I would recognize...no one would ever be able tell what they were...like a serial number in my roms to track in case this very thing happens...im not blind to the fact of the quality of the builds I make its just unbelievable anyone would think it's cool to rip off the years I've spent getting them perfected...funnily enough being all individualized for each device makes it that much harder for these clowns to see what's what becuase all my builds are tailored to a given hw/fw

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Awesome!

Speaking of your rom. Taking the v13 plunge.

I'm hoping the gp services and store i downloaded last time still work. Here goes!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
No worries I have all the 4.4.4 apks if you need them...we can pull the 4.4.4 newest services from my n4 no problem...just skip the initial google login at boot up. ..wait till you open the play store...ive never had an issue that way

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
With v6 google play services or store didn't work. No issues with v13.

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I couldn't really see why it didn't before? I just chalked it up to maybe metro? Glad it's back to normal

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Spoke to soon lol

I had to update services. Once inside play updated on its own.

I think a few of us have had issues. Maybe an updates on op?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Update on op? Ah you mean for play store? Give my n4 one a shot. ..theres obviosuly some issue between metro 4.4.4 and the play store since it was working on flash no issue so it's nothing In the build itself. ..that's odd...but the update punts it? What happens exactly when you open play store?

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
The issue is logging in to Google. When the phone is first being set up Google cannot login. This, as you are probably aware, doesn't allow any application that is dependent on Google servers to work. I updated Google framework services and that then allowed Google servers to connect. Everything else was fine after I updated the framework.

Maybe have a link for the ability to download a newer framework.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
So that apk i just sent you seem to fix your problem then?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
I didn't notice the link last night lol I used the same Google play services i had last time. I think it's an issue for all Metro pcs Mega owners. I suggested a link in the original post.

Do you suggest updating Google apps, like maps, search, chrome, etc, or do you think it's fine leaving them? I usually uninstall with titanium and then install new.

I also used titanium to convey them to user apps. That way i can greenify them.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
See that's the thing is I've gotten so many contradictory things with metro kat about Google stuff...almost everyone can log in fine and update ect the first time or so...then service updates and its like it updates that or playstore or another google system apk that's either incompatible with metro kk base or there is a bug somewhere in the base firmware system files that the Google framework update kicks on...so i cant say update them or not tbh I just don't have enough information to actually say what is going on

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Here's something a little different...kinda has a bit of the tizen vibe...but I got the idea from my gear s lol so that makes sense...looks cool an a quick tap shortcut set makes more sense than empty space lol...I'll upload it if anyone wants to check em out or mod off em...the fit the mega great

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Guys so I know there's been a bit of uproar the last couple days...hopefully everything over and done with....And no no worries I am not gonna stop developing for the mega....my gf and i just got home had a bunch of pms over the last few hours from several people. No worries fellas...it's not the end of the world. That being said let's call this an end of it and drop it from here on out...

I just wanted to clear the air after some of the pms I got. All I ask is like i have posted in the op...if you dig the builds or need a help/pointers about development just pm me, there's no need for any nonsense I have no issues helping you guys out as should be clear by now after 2 years lol...anyway on to the important business at hand lol

Tinkering and fun with our Mega's lol [emoji106]

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Glad to hear it is over :)

BTW is there a way to calibrate or "better" the GPS "signal"? The GPS on the new Mega i have is not as good as the previous one. It tends to have a mind of its own sometimes :)

On the older the GPS signal was great. On this new one I have I am forced to use the wifi signal and even then it is a lil crazt sometimes.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Thanks alot dude yea me too lol...

Unfortunately there's no "calibration" or diagnostics that you can do that I've ever heard of...but there are tools that measure the signal strength ext of the gps to see if it's got any issues ...but it's really a mix of the device, the individual gps reviewer, gmaps, that's typically combined and it's rather tricky to distinguish one from the other trying to diagnose an issue. That's a tough one tbh

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
BTW - I do not know if you worked on it or not but the audio sounds better than the 4.2 versions.

When I installed v13 it also played better with apps. Viper would not work with Pandora until I made it into a system app. It works well with v13.

I cannot complain with this newer rom. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea I reworked your guys megakat exactly like our intl megakat so the sound camera n4 touchscreen controller ect all got added and refined for your guys latest build...awesome def glad your enjoying the updates that metro kk has been an issue since the delayed launch lol so I'm glad it's finally usable lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] eric303:
excuse my ignorance but I see that this ROM is unrooted, but has KNOX disabled, does that mean i can just install supersu from the play store to have it rooted? Also if i'm on stock 4.4.4 right now, do i just install this with a custom recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Sort of...actually you just use recovery to re root the system once you flash it...then install super su from play store...as for flashing instructions yea just clean flash with recovery

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
An update on touchwiz. I think it's an excellent idea.

I had said this long ago. Now, if they listen on making knox uninstallable.

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sams...-essential-apps-as-separate-downloads_id65356
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Lol now that it's in the source code that's unlikely to happen unfortunately...touchwiz has made several great strides imo and def looks like they're gonna continue refining it...it's already the greatest launcher and ui there is so I can't wait to see where they take it

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
So far you called it on the nose. You said you saw change in the ui and code. We don't see it but you're going through it all so you can tell.

Now i fear what you also saw, stronger knox...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea knox is what I was referring to the source code for....google put knox directly into the source itself in lollipop...not only is it stronger...it's 99.999% unbreakable if locked and encrypted to the 10^1024 bit code to break...imo if a carrier like att locks lollipop boot it will never be rommed nor possibly ever even rooted it's that locked tight

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
Hopefully as their sales continue to drop they'll get the message.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Well given the Moto X nexus 5 Moto X 2014 and nexus 6 have all been commercial failures to the point google lost so much money they had to bail on Motorola and sold to lenovo at the end of 2013 with nexus 6 being the first lenovo "Motorola"...i cant imagine they can sustain the onslaught of a new os tizen which is getting pretty great reviews running fantastic on a NO power phone...while google on the other hand refuses to update source code for sd cards past 2011 class 6? and keep locking off this and that...how long before they get a clue?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
They have a strong following, albeit being small.

I don't know much of Tizen other than it is a Samsung baby. Doesn't Intel and other companies have vested interest in this?

I like Android but do not like the direction it's going. Kit Kat is great and a nice upgrade but LP is looking like a move in the bad direction. At least for people like us. Then again, we are the minority.

They are trying to get rid of the SD card slot, a la apple. Google wants to be like Apple. That in itself is bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea thr tizen project was a joint venture but pretty much everyone bailed except samsung...and it'd fantastic....jus shows how awesome android would be if it was 100% samsung controlled and didn't have Google ruining it beforehand

Yea I guess google are growing up and wanna be just like their idols apple? Locking down their phones stripping all features and overcharging several hundred for their device... they've pretty much nailed the apple model now...super overpriced nexus 6 running mediocre on heavily encrypted locked software with zero features bad cameras and goofy ui....check check and check...they've covered all their apple bases with lenovo nexus 6

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
I don't get moving away from Sd cards. It's one of the features that made people buy android phones. The ones coming out with out Sd cards aren't selling. You'd think they'd get a clue.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dparrothead1:
And where did you read that the Nexus 6 was locked down??? Go look at their forum and see how many Roms they already have!!!!! Probably 10 times more than here....especially since Silesh quit.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Huh? Dude the nexus 6 came with lollipop...the most locked down/secure android ever built...you literally have to do multiple flashes just to root the system ...Knox is built in the source code. ..and all nexus 6 come encrypted out of the box...its why there's been so many issues with those roms and just getting basic root...i know a few of my friends that have their builds posted for n6 and it hasn't been fun...it took Chainfire several months to root lollipop...it took him like a week for 4.4.4....most of the changes in lollipop were securities and the theme...not sure what the number of roms has to do with all the annoyances of the os but sure there's more nexus roms a niche (non mainstream) developer favorite device like always than tw for the Mega on xda developers forum? Lol this is typically true

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Who knows dude...like most things google they're completely morons that cannot admit when they clearly made a blindly ignorant move completely counter to what the mass market demands as seen by samsung 50x1 sales figures lol

I forgot to ask...when tmo bought out metro and the firmware came...did you guys get access to tethering and wifi calling?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dparrothead1:
That's really funny considering it took me all of 15 minutes to root, install TWRP and install a custom ROM on my Nexus 6......all the while, my Mega sits in my desk drawer and still locked tighter than a drum. And will probably stay locked due to no interest. Sorry, but that's the way it is!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Sorry dude I don't get your point?...not sure what not wanting to root or rom or use or whatever the deal is with your mega doesn't change the fact there is knox baked in the source of lollipop and not in kit kat?...or the devs have had a harder time dealing with nexus 6 than 5 before it?..Chainfire has articles and interviews about it as well as it being all over xda...Google is tightening control over android... but to that what does one devices # of roms vs another matters? My note 4 has more roms than the mega as well? I don't get the defensive stance against saying it sucks to continually lose features and access but whatever floats your boat

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
Metro Already had tethering and WiFi calling. Tmo adopted it after they started the Merg.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I got you...getting a tmo n4 and doing the firekat tmo n4 build was the first time I really started hearing about that wifi calling being on att forever...that's a pretty cool concept....it'll be sweet when the transition is smooth and seamless...jw if you guys got it free as well that's cool...att doesn't have anything sweet lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
For some reason he thinks that a dev's interest in a device means it's easier to crack lol. Sounds like a fanboy. he said it took him 15mins to root. But he probably doesn't get how long it took for dev's to find the root for it.

---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------

Yes the wifi calling was free. They started doing it because at the time their phones were so much on the lower end side that you coudln't get phone service in doors. They were getting all kinds of complaints.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dparrothead1:
Folks, I'll say one more thing and I'll let it go. I keep checking in here because I keep hoping that someone will finally pop the ATT Mega's cherry. Didn't really mean to start anything and I've used nothing but Samsung's since my first Captivate. But the locked tight Mega left as bad taste in my mouth.....and I was just wondering how anyone could think the Nexus (my first one, BTW and certainly no fanboy) is locked down. And if you check my profile, you'll see that I've been around a while and know exactly what devs do because I test for 4 different devs.

Like I said, I certainly didn't mean to start anything. Y'all have a good night.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Well what's confusing was i linked you guys the Chainfire xda article if you remember, where he clearly said...Google hired him to patch any and all system root points in good faith and he did...and the unencrypted dev build of 5.0.x took him something i forget...4 or 7 months to root from the kernel level because he he had removed all system access points...i mean its been a clear progressions from 4.1.2...

4.2 sd cards were user app r/w and android was still basically wide open as we knew it...

4.3 Selinux was introduced as well as knox in samsung devices

4.4.2 removed user app sd access and deepens Selinux integration...Knox went kernel deep and spread thru the system in samsung devices...and forward progression bootloader became necessary to boot many devices

4.4.4 completely removed all user app access to write to sd and altered app sdk for how apps use sd cards r/w permissions

5.0.x introduced knox 10^1024 encryption into the source, removed all system root access points, and has a dead lock boot meaning a carrier or manufacturer locks that boot and nothing outside of a jtag or jtag key like att nexus 6 boot unlock key...

This hasn't exactly been a progression towards a more open android user experience so the tone of the posts were a little confusing?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Dude i totally appreciate it becuase i honestly didn't understand where you were coming from...

The att mega def clarifies things into a whole new light...that's been a horrible debacle man...i refuse to buy att devices now but I'm trapped in my grandfathered plan..can't even use my subsidy with them because none of us could stand to carry a stock phone let's be real lol...i don't get how it's legal to lock the bootloader and refuse us jtag keys like the nexus gets...it's insane

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
Got you now. You're experience was with the crappy ATT version. I've read a lot of post form people with issues with that thing. The metro version is pretty good. Just other than Mega we don't have much support. But that goes with all metro phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Man I've had some crushing pms over that freaking mega mega 2 and att Note 4...people have bought them as gifts expecting to use one of my roms and I have to tell them...sorry but there's nothing I can do...it's horrible.... i completely understand the frustration because I deal with it myself...had to pay 2.5 times my subsidy to buy tmo note 4 then pay to unlock the sim...just to avoid a locked bootloader I don't get how it's legal

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Added a ton of amazing wallpapers over the past few days...here's another couple dozen stunning ones added to drive box in op2 of megakat ...enjoy fellas

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
If you buy it outright they usually unlock it...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Not the bootloader...they may unlock the sim card but never the bootloader at least not att they're horrible about it every device has locked boot even nexus 6 on att....my att n3 has a locked bootloader still to the this day and i bought it full price on launch day unfortunately

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
I meant that tmobile unlocks their phones for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
That's cool of them...when I bought my tmo n4 I ended up buying an unlock code as I'm not a customer...att may offer sim codes but you prolly have to jump thru hoops or juggle fire standing on landmines lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Anyone else having a lil stuttering when watching HD content?

The other issue I am having is low volume on phone calls. Anyone else with that issue?

Mega, I know you posted long ago about a CPU app. There was 2 of them. Can you post them, please? Also, do you have specific settings for the CPU controllers? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
that's a no go dude theyre paid....cpu controller pro and setcpu are what I use....but we def don't have any issues when watching 1080p on our mk tbh I watch tons of videos on my megas an the only video issue I've seen is just the weird playback from video recording at 1080p tbh...no one's mentioned anything...maybe clean flash again...you got any mods?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
ugh, I really do not want to flash... I do have a lolipop style mod for incoming calls... Let me take it off and see how it works.

Are there specific settings for either app to control CPU? Which one is better?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I use performance gov and max clock speed all the time

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mands386:
How hard is that on your battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
This is a bit relative tbh...becuase i dont run my setup for battery efficiency...i build the rom to do that...Greenify is really the only battery saving thing i do...i run the rom full out...i dont need to get 7 hours of screen on time a day when I only use my phone for 3 lol so will adjusting your cpu speed decrease your battery sure...how dramatically still depends on your setup and use...but mine in still get 36 hours standby with around 4 to 5 hours screen on time with full brightness so it's still stupidly efficient at max clock on megakat...4 to 5 hours was the stock battery life high average total over 18 Hours lmao so like I say it's a little relative ans you can adjust the parameters to suit your use

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Is this one of them?https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mhuang.overclocking

I couldn't find the other. :(

Btw i uninstalled the mod. Let's see how it works. Hopefully it's loud again.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea setcpu...the other is multicore controller: cpu controller pro is the name

But are you sure your volume is low...or is this relative to everywhere else I boosted it? A couple guys in n3 and n4 noticed the difference...that's stock volume lol then the louder is where I tinkered it...unless your having abnormally low beyond stock volume?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
The volume is fine. It is only the phone aspect when making calls where the volume is terribly low.

I will buy one of those. If I recall a long time ago you said you preferred the cpu controller pro.

Is it this? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mugich.cpumulticorecontrolpro&hl=en

I use hangouts a lot and texting. I'll try and make a regular phone call. I usually use that for clients when I am not in the office. I almost live in the office lol

Thanks Mega...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I use both...cpu controller allows control over all cores...setcpu controls 1 core but offers io control...there's also other apps in playstore that do the same thing of you wanna look around for an alternative .

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Thanks.

I tried the phone and the phone call volume is still low. Is there any way that I can increase the volume on it individually???
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea there is...but just to stress it's at stock volume as is...it's only relatively lower next to the output mods I made

You have to adjust the mixer_path in system/etc

you want to bump the gain and rx5 output values but DO NOT TOUCH THE MIC input or output values...i don't mess with any in call volume...

netflix error -9 can't connect on metro megakat rom

Is anybody else unable to login to netflix on the megakat rom? This is driving me crazy. Hbo go works . Hulu works. So i know it's not video streaming services in general . The netflux apk works on the megafire jellybean rom, so it's not hardware. Is it a bug in the metro megakat rom, is it an android 4.4.2 problem, is it the netflix apk, or is it some mistake i made in loading or configuring this Rom? It is the only app i use that has issues right now. Is anybody else using netflix?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yes it's widespread across all variants of the mega...it's a bug in the base itself on many devices 4.4.2 the mega being one and apparently was never fixed in your guys 4.4.4 base...classic

I use this on my mega...and it works like usual (ignore the apk name)

Thank, mega. That xposed module did the trick.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Awesome dude glad to hear that sorted it...the I'm a little stunned at the laziness of Samsung or t-mobile...that is a widely known bug from 4.4.2...like a year ago...I guess I shouldn't be surprised lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Hey Mega,

Is this in the build prop or elsewhere? I don't use calling feature much as I use hangouts a lot but I had to raise the volume a bunch last night and almost blew my ears off as Pandora kicked back in lol

Edit: ROFL just realized it is system/etc folder lol

Edit 2: I am there but cannot find to change :(
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Lol

System...ect...look for mixer_path.xml

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
No option for that :(
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Nvm I wasn't thinking it'd the mega...

System/ect/snd_soc_msm

Open 2x_fusion3_auxpcm

And 2x_fusion3

And mod like we discussed matching settings on both files...mega is trickier than notes/other devices

Now, what in the world?!?!!? ROFL I give up.
