Yea I have I think they're super overhyped and totally under delivered but I see the position your in so I Def understand...make the best of it

Still no Base deodex for that tab?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Most of the development seems to be for the pro, 8.4. I've been digging through the forum and only found two or three threads that touch on the 12.2. One is discontinued, one never started and the other one is iffy. Lol

I purchased a reg Tab 3 8 inch for my daughter and it feels smoother than this 12.2 lol I just froze a bunch of applications on her tablet and the experience was loads better.

This is the issue. In reality, we should not be doing all of this. These things should be smooth to begin with. We should only be getting more juice or of them.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
No argument here man...unfortunately it's not getting any better even on 5.0 going thru nexus official build it's a mess...if there's even 1 as long as it boots...i can make it stable and fast for you...it literally just needs to flash lol I can do the rest and fix the issues for you

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
That would be awesome. This is 442 build. I'll check around. Doesn't look good though lol

Weird. I dropped the animation from 1 to .5 and it runs much better. I tried turning it off and had issues lol Read that using a different launcher helped. We'll see. Unless i see a huge change i may get rid of this.

Ahhh, love the the Mega lol thanks for that, again.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
If it's tab 12 pro. ..It'll be massive lol

Ok im finally up and running on mmk6 and im really diggin the smoothness. 2 things. 1.if i was to uninstall samsung or system apps with titanium backup will it do any damage? I know it seem like tethering is dead but i thought it was an customized tether appin the settings? Other than that big THANKS to mega for the awesome rom and bnb25 for helping me out!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Cool man glad you're up and running and enjoying the rom...i don't recommend punting system apks other than i losted as your not gaining anything by doing so...if you want to follow my op2 I simply turn them off in applications manager...enjoy man

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
There is a thread that shows which system apps to freeze. Obviously some have changed because of KK but I still use it as a guideline. I do not freeze all but a nice chunk. On top of the speed from Mega's work, it free's up more memory.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2665473

Make a backup beforehand.

Does anyone else have an issue with multiwindow on booting? For some reason I cannot touch the entire top part of the screen when multiwindow is on boot. I just take it off and then select it again and I can touch that area. Annoying, but that is the only glitch... I think it is a stock rom glitch and NOT Mega rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ssiefman:
Will i be able to flash this with twrp?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
yes. but TWRP doesn't seem to be able to root it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ssiefman:
Thanks i bit the bullet and installed phillz recovery

---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

I dirty flashed from the stock rom should i go back and factory reset?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
My 2 cents...I'd make a backup of the rom in tact. ...then clean flash it....esp given the situation of your guys 4.4.4 specifically ...hope you dig the build man.

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Hope you guys all have a safe and happy thanksgiving...now at least you got a little kit kat for desert lol have a happy holiday fellas

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
happy thanksgiving.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ssiefman:
OK cool
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Tab! Could use the rom lol
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MajorCinema:
Everything is perfect but i wish i could get tethering and google dialer to work i would finally be satisfied. Hehe:)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
There's always the stock metro 4.4.4 rom if your unsatisfied...lmao

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
i tether all the time. I don't have any issues. Unless you mean a work around the company tether altogether. Lol that's a different story.

I know this is crazy. I have never needed it and I always uninstall it. Does anybody have sim toolkit? I am overseas and this is something that people actually use lol

Any help finding this as I could not find it inside the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
A what bro? What does it do or where Is it in the build normally? Maybe I call it soemthing different?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
lol

I do not think anyone in the US uses it. I usually freeze or uninstall it. However, I am in asia and it is used. apparently people can use it for deals and free offers. It is used to check the load balances and such. The apk is called "sim toolkit". This is the first time I have not seen it on a build. It was in the old rom but not in the 444. Perhaps because this is a US version. they realized no one uses.

It should be in previous builds but I am overseas and downloading and extracting is a dubious process here. 1mb download took almost a minute to dl lol

---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 AM ----------

This Mega feels so smooth. Obviously some things are not lighting fast as flagship phones but boy, this is the nicest this MEga has felt.

Great job, bro!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Awesome dude I'm glad you're enjoying it...you guys had to wait so long to get it I was hoping it be good lol...it's weird that apk isn't in the intl megakat build either...im checking megafire build on my computer cuz i dont remember seeing it...let me check

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
I found it. Seems that they changed the name. It is now called "stk". Seems as when the overseas chip was put in the name change from stk went to "smart menu". Weird. I had the stk frozen LOL It is usually called Sim ToolKit. Thanks anyway lol
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Aye ok sweet man...have fun on Vaca with your Mega[emoji106]

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
The Mega is a lil beat up. Charge port is picky. Charges but sometimes it doesn't like certain usb cords. Screen has a crack but it is on the inside bezel. Proximity sensor is done. All in al I still like it over the Moto X. When I get back to the States if I sell the Moto X out here I may do another Mega for myself. I may sell the Tab Pro 12.2. Honestly, it is cool but feels slower than the MEga at times lol I think they are pushing too many pixels for the cpu.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Aren't you running a firekat build on your tab? or did we never do one? Yea i bought 2...first device I've ever done that tbh...basically never carried the black 8 gb just dev on it...then when white mega goes it'll be there to last...i still don't think there's a better 6+ inch device out...and i dont really like anything smaller...like I always use my mega at home. ..i carry it a lot as well but I never use my note 3 or 4 at home. ..always my mega...

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
outside of cyanogen there is really no development for this particular tablet. I haven't checked the note series but the tab Pro Series does not have much going for it.

Hmmmm, Maybe if I force drop the resolution the tablet wll speed up a lot more. I know there's an application to change resolution. I think I will try that. (Lcd density)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
My Mega took a crap. I don't know what happen to it. It rebooted when it came back on there is a "x" over the data connection. the wifi and blue tooth wont turn on. it keeps telling me that my external card is blank when its not. I can't even make a phone call.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Have you flashed any other roms or anything after last MegaKat?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
nope, I've been using megekat lately. I haven't been on megafire for over a week.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Damn i was hoping you had...have you tried odin gb flashing stock and making sure it's not just something weird...i hope it's not the Mega itself

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
why? what would flashing another rom do? Yes I tied flashing stock with odin, It's still not working.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Cuz a lot of the other roms for the Mega cause problems like this when flashing back...i was just hoping it was the case which would be easily sorted and not that your Mega itself is dead...bummer dude that's never fun

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
luckily it was still under manufacture warranty, they gave me a replacement for $30. This one is still on 4.2.2, so I'm just going to keep it on that. I'll use megafire. The thing went haywire. nothing was working, data, wifi, bluetooth. kept telling me my Sd card was blank. even the home button was going nuts. if you pressed it, the phone would reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Oh that's awesome dude...yea that's super weird...that def sounds like something in the hw hard firmware is jacked cuz most of those are unrelated at a system level....pretty cool swap out deal tho can't beat that

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Have you flashed the latest MegaFire V20 build yet? I'm really interested to hear how it's running with the note 4 touch controller modded into the framework?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
No I haven't. Ill let you know when i do. whats the touch controller for? screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Lmao you'll find out shortly....hahah
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ssiefman:
Is it me or is anyone else having issues with mms
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
check your apn settings... no one has mentioned anything that I can remember but Bnb said he had Issues with 4.4.4 in general... see if others say something similar... double check apn my 2 cents

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] djxxl@live.com:
Hey Mega, Great work on the rom. just checking if another release for Metro is in the works.. i see all the goodies in the other builds and was just wondering..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea maybe after finals. ..not doing jack till Thursday lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] djxxl@live.com:
no worries bro and best of luck to you
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Finals?!?!?! U dont need no steenkin finals!!!

Thanks for the help on this, bud! This thing is running as fast as the Moto X. Maybe even smoother!

BTW I unfroze a lot of the apps I had frozen before and the Tab Pro 12.2 seems to be responding a lil better. Lil by lil I'll freeze certain things that are useless. Things like "Ant", "tests" and "upgrade software".
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Thankfully they're over now lol... back to the fun stuff hopefully Improving the mega as I dont see another option coming anytime soon... glad youre enjoying the latest build buddy... great news about the tab pro

Wow, that was fast!

Feature Request

[MENTION=5451734]megalomanic14[/MENTION]: The following version of Google Play Services is confirmed working with v6. Could you please include it with your next build?

Awesome man thanks for sharing

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Congrats!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Any way to get the magazine widget on this?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
What widget is that bro?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Maybe this is something exclusive to the tablets. I'm sure the Note Pro has it. It's a nice widget. Allows a 3 way view of items on the screen. For ex: mail, calendar and news or other features.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
You mean the entire magazine ui? The new s5/n4 launcher has it...but it's basically just flipboard on the phones nothing awesome like the tabular layout of gridded widgets your looking for. ..just download launcher 8 pro and set it up just like that it's what I did

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Not 100% the same but I have used it. The mag UI is really nice. I figured the apk would be floating around somewhere. Thanks anyway.

BTW the Note 12.2 looks so FAST! You're aweseome. That tweak is nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
No nothing is the same as what's on the n12 that's the point lol..if that's what you're actually asking about I'm trying to make sure we're on the same page?...the s5/n4 is the closest representation of it in any phone tw but it's nothing like our magazine ui it's really just flipboard fancied up....honestly launcher 8 that you heavily customize is the true closest thing there is that I've ever seen on a phone

Lol yea man its smoking fast. ..i honestly wasn't expecting it to be that fast with the exynos but it's flying haha

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Christogq:
Wifi Tethering?

Greetings and salutations errbody! Hey Mega any luck on including the tethering hack like you have on the Megafire roms on this one?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Do you mean wifi tethering or the bluetooth Internet sharing? If the latter you can enable it via an app in the play store called....Bluetooth Internet sharing...as for wifi tethering that's tricky as my tmo n4 guys are reporting tmo tracking all tethering even if masked with a hack...idk how valid the claims but something to be aware of

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Christogq:
Yeah I was talking about the wifi tethering. I'm not sure Metro PCS actually monitors it because I used about 50 GB last month and didn't get charged anything for it. I been using it to play Destiny on my PS4 lol
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Just a heads up...don't wanna see you get burned lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Anyone notice that viper no longer works for all apps? Doesn't seem to play nice with Pandora. Only seems to work when commercials are on lol

Testing to see if anything else doesn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Remember there's more complexities to setting up Viper in 4.4.4 so make sure you have everything laid out right for your test...

On first after flashing install busy box....open busy box and install into system...then upon opening Viper after that. ...make sure you use Viper 4.x and disable lpa when promted

Then open build.prop and make sure lpa.decode=false tunnel.audiovideo.decode=false and tunnel.decode=false

Then reboot and setup Viper

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Everything is fine. Installed correctly. It seems it's just Pandora. Using Spotify instead. After those settings you mentioned there is one called stage fright lol
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Lol Yea I always thought that was funny too...someone with a sense of humor developed those lines of code lol

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
I tried Rhapsody and that also doesn't work. I think it has to do with the way they handle sound. Seems that they are not hardware based. Seems that the sounds is handled via software, streaming, vs hardware.

I recall Pandora working before but I downloaded everything new because I have a new Mega. Got rid of the Moto x heh heh Nice phone but too small.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Idk if you mean it worked on megafire 4.2.2 it prolly did...but on 4.4.4 alot of things changed unfortunately and not for the better

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
I recall 4.4.4 and Pandora working. It also worked on the Moto X. I do not have the Moto X anymore so I cannot verify. I think Pandora had an upgrade recently. Have a hunch that the upgrade changed a few things.

I also had to do something that I never did before. Under Audio, in settings on phone, I had to choose VIPER for it to work all around. Weird.

EDIT:

Found a workaround on another thread. Simply turn the app into a "system app". Titanium Backup can be used to make it unto a system app. I tried it and it worked 100%.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Vicksmoka:
Good stuff man
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Vicksmoka:
are there any gapps. because goolgle services wont work in my mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
None of my roms have ever needed patches or gapps so no... unless your guys metro has something special idk bout them hopefully one of the other metro guys will fill you in...if your having issues with Google that's not surprising it's google...just clear cache and data of play store

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] djxxl@live.com:
quick Question

Hey Mega Great Work on this rom, is there any updates for the Metro guys coming? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
There can be...I wasn't sure how many people were using this rom or not tbh no real guage

Mega

sir can u port this to gti9205?pls ---
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Doesn't the other MetroKat work for that?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
this is for the MetroPCS version of the phone only, It wouldn't work on your version.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] djraz:
i will try to port this ony my gti9205 but loocked in bootloop metro pcs screens white ... someone help me any new update 4.4.4 adaptable and good to port on gti9205?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Dude what are you talking about? I already have MegaKat for the i9205...what are you trying to port from these metro builds the security lockouts on 4.4.4 that aren't on 4.4.2 as nothing else was really added or changed?

And I'd be Hella careful if you don't know what your doing since you cannot pull bits from this rom for the intl Mega as the roms base/modem are different ...plus you can't flash metro boot or flash the metro stock base...

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] djraz:
megalomanic14 any 4.4.4 update for galaxy mega 6.3 gti9205? u know? because i love this last uide design. and i will try to have them on my mega. but nothing people port this on my version mega! can u help me....

megalomanic14 empty ur pm messagge u have full.. i can't send u pm message
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Dude the ui and theme and everything are the same...this metro build doesn't have a new launcher or anything Idk what you mean? Sounds like your wanting the s5 or note 4 touchwiz but that's not in the 4.4.4 metro build...??

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] djraz:
yep you've figured out exactly I want to bring s5 or note 4 touchwiz ui/apps complete..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Nope not in this 4.4.4 build dude

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Megakat metro V13 is live in the op and should take your guys mega to another level over the previous build...enjoy

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
I just read the v18 log. Impressive!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Man if your guys Mega runs anything like our intl you'll be in for a treat on this latest build man...i am making a video comparing real world speed to my note 4 with my firekat rom scoring over 50,000 on antutu...yet they run nearly identical in everyday use now so I'll post it when I get it up. ..enjoy bro

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
I just hate having to delete everything and installing. It is a lengthy process. After seeing the log I am tempted. I will do it this weekend. Thanks bro. Truly appreciate the help and the extra tweaks!!!

BTW Ever heard or used this?

http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.ryansteckler.nlpunbounce

Seems interesting. Although the better benefit seems to transpire when the app is donated to. I found out that Timely has a ton of alarms going off even after the widget is no longer in use. If the app is worth it I may put some $ into it. I do not plan on updating to lollipop anytime soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea it sucks on the one hand to have to go and redo everything...but at the the same time for you to simply flash a piece of software that essentially gives you the performance of a brand new device it's well worth the hassle...

I've heard of guys using it and I believe it works. ..i don't use it becuase i already get such ridiculously long battery life I don't see the point tbh

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
I will do the install this weekend. I'll download it and put it away.

I installed the Amplify - Battery Extender. I did it out of curiosity. I see a ton of alarms and wakelocks going off. If I can lower them and get even better bat life = sweet. I will decide if the donation is worth it.

Thanks for the feedback.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I have never tried that app but I have heard of people talking about it my threads... how do ya like it? work?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Recently installed. So far I am seeing what has alarms and wakelocks. Shocked at how often apps do this. Google play services is a monster with this!

Within the next few days I'll get a better feel. I uninstalled Timely and began using the stock alarm.

BTW, seen this? Great news for TW!

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mands386:
I tried what it says in the op for write access to sd card and it didn't work for me
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
?? I already built it in...

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mands386:
I tried moving something to my sd card using root explorer and a file archiver and they both say that I have restricted write access do to android 4.4
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Did you grant root access to root explorer pro? And did you mod the media_rw? Or secure storage=false

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Sick of the cold...time for a new beach theme lol...adding a bunch of new beach hd backgrounds to drive box 3...enjoy

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
I like the big shield with key hole the best.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mands386:
Root explorer has root access granted,

I don't know how to do either
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Then what location did you attempt to move the files to? And what data was it? Like a game ect?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mands386:
I tried moving it to the root of my sd card, it's an emulator Rom
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
To the root as is in no folder...or in the root folder? Something like a game emulator file my files can move into a normal folder on either sd...?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mands386:
Yeah as in no folder, I also tried moving into a folder but it still didn't work
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
That's a bummer you guys may have deeper restrictions with the metro build than our intl...as I removed all system Knox and secure storage lockouts, enabled sd hack ect...so it must be deeper selinux blocks or something...as long as you haven't tried to use any xposed or wanam sd mods trying to enable the write to sd which may counter the hacks I did just in case

That sucks. Glad it was resolved though. Thanks for all the work you do.

I do not get the notification you get. You receive a note when someone downloads and installs your rom?

I hate that Mega, i think thats a bonehead move. I apologize for the idiot. thank you for all you do bro.
