Pretty much the odd ball here...

You know I'm the one that will always run the underground builds!!!

Rom of choice for me for now is BrokenOS.. Even though I have to work on it rebuilding and reflashing it, I love it!!!!

I have had the 4.8 Experimental Rebuild On my Daily Device, I put a lot of work in getting running... Its Freakishly fast and I haven't had one single problem with it now that everything's done...

You have to know what your doing with that one...

RR builds and Aokp builds are up there at the top as well... They will always be!!!

Can't thank you enough Silesh!!! Hopefully Ill have Slim running soon;)

Guys send Silesh a thank you donation... I do every chance I get... I'm just thankful that he's still building for us...:good: Thank You!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] idoit:
I'm on Temasek too [MENTION=4551757]Silesh.Nair[/MENTION] It had been the best for me so far... Thanks.

RR too. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] coffee-turtle:
Hi [MENTION=4551757]Silesh.Nair[/MENTION] ! About AOKP, did we lose the "efficiency" power/battery theme? There may have been another too besides "power save", "balanced", "performance". I used to use efficiency for some reason it was the best for battery life and performance. Not sure what tweak it had in comparison to the others.

Just wondering....thanks!

Also, is anyone out there using PhilZ to flash the ROM updates?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] r1l_Alex_™:
I haven't used PhilZ sense the LP days for a short time... Always used TWRP... Especially for MM builds, its mandatory pretty much to use Silesh's version 3 to flash MM Builds..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] coffee-turtle:
So that you don't think I'm crazy, the reason I asked is because of the guide which says:

Prerequisites

...

Only use TWRP that I have linked below. Don’t use the official version available on xda. It does not work.

You can use Philz recovery, but it is not tested by me.

...

:D Well that doesn't prove that I am not crazy, but the question was legit. As of right now I am using Silesh's TWRP.

Nice!

I'm glad to see Temasek is still in the mix. It is also a nice ROM I used for awhile.

Thank you all again! Looking forward to the next update.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Rascallifah:
I already tried both recoveries to flash update..

No problem..

I'm also tried FLASHFIRE and it's work..

THANK YOU [MENTION=4551757]Silesh.Nair[/MENTION] ! for the great ROM.

RR 5.7
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Miihkali72:

Any news on SlimMM?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] r1l_Alex_™:
Doesn't boot...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] 10BIT:
SlimMM doesn't boot.I hope it can boot soon.Thanks for the work :)

Don't hesitate to sent me another test version ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] :
Hello just one question, in your ROMs you can choose to enable root access from the settings right. So my question is do we have to root the phone ourself at the first place? Like before we even install TWRP or the ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] 10BIT:
No,root already provided in the roms.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] :
Okay thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
The next set of updates need to be flashed fresh.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
If you are rooted, you can use flashify. If you already have a custom recovery installed, you can flash from recovery. Else you need a PC.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] 10BIT:
Is there any huge changes?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] coffee-turtle:
Thank you for the heads up!

As a technical question, usually if I stay within your cycle of updates of one particular ROM, all I have to do is wipe cache and I'm good to go. Obviously, if I jump around between ROM's, I need to flash fresh. What makes the next updates different even if I go from AOKP to AOKP?

Flash Fresh = Factory Reset (right?)

Thank you again.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Some kernel, audio and blob changes.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] 10BIT:
Any changelogs for oc kernel dated july?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Check the change log for the roms. It contains the changes for the kernels as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Broken users read this before you flash the next build.

https://plus.google.com/+KenGreenwood/posts/8XLLEDovc5t
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] r1l_Alex_™:
I've been studying up on Substratum for a good while now... I'm ready for the change and in the end it will be awesome!!! Broken ftw!!! I will be clean flashing the new build like always!!

Thank you again Silesh!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] 10BIT:
Im surprised that substratum come so early.

Is SlimMM have merged substratum as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Yes. But I am gonna let it go as it does not boot and I cannot find what's wrong without the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] r1l_Alex_™:
Just wanted to Thank Silesh for another awesome project for me to work on!!!

Will be clean flashing Broken 4.9 Experimental later on this afternoon!!!

I'm going to keep working on the Slim build to see if I can get it to run... I'm having issues with getting Snap Data to output to file "log".... Ill keep working on it though...

Once again Thank you!! Will be sending something your way here in a little while!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] AndroidNerd27:
Hi I just wanted to know when the new update will be available (which to be clean flashed) coz I was about to flash latest update available. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Check your ota.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] AndroidNerd27:
I'm on RR. It is showing update v7.0 . Will there be new 7.1 update which needs to clean flashed? You said in forum
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
RR doesn't have an update yet. You'll be notified by the ota app
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] AndroidNerd27:
Which ROM you recommend?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] markusimanuel:
Volume problem when connecting with bluetooth speaker.

Hi [MENTION=4551757]Silesh.Nair[/MENTION].

Thanks for the ROM which makes me able to try Marshmallow.

I've just flashed the latest CM13 ROM (20160708) yesterday. I came into a problem with my bluetooth speaker. When I increase the volume from zero to 5, the volume drops very low, almost like mute. It's the same case when I reduce the volume from 5 to 4, it suddenly become very loud (almost like max volume).

I've installed VIPER4ANDROID. I thought the problems might due to the viper software, so I turn off the app, and I encounter the same problem. I didn't encounter problem with speaker and wired headphone.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Report if you have the same issue with stock cm13, meaning no additional mods flashed including xposed.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] :
Bluetooth speaker working fine here on the latest CM13
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] r1l_Alex_™:
Just wanted to post up some Broken luv!! Running Beautifully!! I had a crazy time getting it running!! But its done!! Now this is what its all about!!!

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
[MENTION=7086325]Alex'sEvolution[/MENTION]

Is it a play services FC or Setup Wizard FC on broken? Also does it boot up without flashing gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] r1l_Alex_™:
It boots fine without Gapps... !!!

If you flash Gapps during install,

1. You can setup language. NEXT.. screen 1.

2. You can setup Wi-Fi . NEXT.. screen 2.

3. When your asked to use backed up or no thanks and you click next , it fc's

" unfortunately play services has stopped "

NO matter what you do you can't get past that screen... It doesn't matter what Gapps you flash it will do the same thing...

Also if you flash Gapps after the initial setup you'll get errors out the ass after you boot...

It's a Setup Wizard Error...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Mukiai:
[MENTION=4551757]Silesh.Nair[/MENTION] thank you for the beautiful RR 5.7.1. no issue top report now. (Open gapps, and as always xposed (V86), and your RR OC Kernel (11-07)) (dirty flash : no reallly time this week but i couldn't make IG without a little flash ;) ). Nice day
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] neilphetamine:
RR-M-5.7.1 20160711

BaNks Dynamic Gapps 20160701

RR-OC-Kernel 20160711

I've been playing with this new toys for almost 24hours ( Malaysia GMT )

No issue to report in this version, except for the known issues, other that its works perfectly.

Great work and thank you for the awesomeness you bring to our Mega, [MENTION=4551757]Silesh.Nair[/MENTION]
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] r1l_Alex_™:
Where's tah screens!! Lol

Screens!!! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] coffee-turtle:
Been there. :( With a lot of persistence I found that a lot of it was related to permission issues. Not just permission with play services/framework, but other main gapps, like contacts, calendar, map, phone, etc. I had to work through and allow permissions on each.

If the Setup Wizard itself is throwing errors, you have to get into it's "Memory" option --> "Memory Used by apps" --> Setup Wizard --> set permissions for contacts and phone to ON. (You should probably do this even if it isn't throwing errors).

When I say be persistent, I mean persistent as a hungry dog smells a steak on the other side of the door!

Hope this helps. (You probably already knew this though and want to avoid it in the first place. Why does GAPPS do that? I don't know)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] r1l_Alex_™:
Yep all on permissions... I sent Silesh a few PMs about it a while back... Setup Wizard fails to set all persistent permissions "in memory"during initial setup because its permissions arnt set correctly... Even if you flash gapps after the fact it still will never be just right... I've been threw this on every update since 4.5....

So I break it apart push everything out a make all the changes push it back and rebuild it.. Copy to OTG , reflash clean like normal and I'm good to go!!

That's why I love it!!! Its like F1 to me!!! No reason for me to talk about it unless silesh asks... That's what the roms in here are for!!! If they are good fine, if not then Ill find out what the issue is and make the changes... Done!!..

You see back threw the thread that I'm probably the one of the few that run broken... When I flash I post screens to show it running!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] coffee-turtle:
That's great you get it all going again.

Yes, I think you are the only one running Broken....and I can see why Silesh recommended AOKP to me. I really think it is the most stable and is rock solid!

But like you said, I have seen this issue with the Setup Wizard and have learned a lot in fixing my device after a flash. It just takes time and persistence. I've fixed these issues many times on my own. I probably could use some better troubleshooting tools though. Any you can recommend?

I appreciate your explanation on what is going on in the background with the Setup Wizard. That makes sense.

How can this gapps/permission problem be avoided though???

I'm one update behind right now because I need some free time to do the update.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Mukiai:
Sorry for delay, but hard day and no issue really time to test. So here's come just beginning , and hope i could post better later.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] James342:
I am using TWRP 3.0 but i can't use my usb otg because it showing 0 mb,i can use my usb otg normally in file manager though,any help will be appreciated :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Mukiai:
You have to select and check USB and you'll see size of USB and you'll be able to use it.

I use it always.

A good day
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] James342:
Thank you for the answer :),i try to select it but it cannot be checked,i also try mount usb storage option but still not work
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Mukiai:
Have you tried to format your USB storage from your Mega or from TWRP? It happened to me near three month ago with a new USB key As always i formated usb from windows, recognized by solid explorer on mega but not on twrp. After i formated it in settings > storage > usb storage : format , all went good. I use to flash from USB otg (whatever i clean or dirty flash) and my mega uses sd as internal memory.

Another ask : is your twrp, Silesh's one?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] James342:
I format it in usb storage setting and still not detected,i am using Silesh's one,in the TWRP log it say "Unable to locate storage device"
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Mukiai:
So i'm sorry but can't help you, hope another guy could help you. Dont know why. Have you tried with another one usb to see if the same happen?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] coffee-turtle:
Click on another option and then back again to your USB OTG device. The size should update and become usable.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] :
Hey phone shuts down completely like without even showing the -Power Off... sign after capturing photos with flash enabled on any app on the latest CM13 build. Hope you can fix this
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] James342:
Try my other 2 usb but still not detected,all my usb work on my LG G2 TWRP though,that mean the problem is in TWRP,I will try to revert back to previous TWRP,If it work I will report back :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Mukiai:
Have you tried [MENTION=4145946]coffee-turtle[/MENTION] 's possibly fix?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] James342:
Still not work and i also try revert back to old version,but thank you for your help anyway :o
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
[MENTION=7086325]Alex'sEvolution[/MENTION],

I am building another update of BrokenOS. If you are yet to flash the recent update, don't do it. I think I found out the reason for the setup wizard fc's.

https://github.com/krexus/build/commit/1bc0642a5ff6881c0856dd0e1008345bcc93827b. Read the link provided in the description of the commit.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Gibbon_999:
Notes from openGapps https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Notes-for-Android-6.0

To install Open GApps on 6.0 your ROM needs the following patch to prevent Force Closures at first boot: https://github.com/TeamExodus/frameworks_base/commit/9c36be651e83fb039a262682839bd920b033007a

This patch is included by default in most ROMs, but not in AOSP.

You need to flash Open GApps directly after flashing your ROM and not boot your device in between.

For 6.0 the GoogleTTS is part of all the packages, because SetupWizard demands TTS, and some 6.0 ROMs don't have any AOSP TTS included. If you use a gapps-config file make sure to include it in your installation or ask your ROM developer to include AOSP TTS.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Still doesn't work with the patch.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] r1l_Alex_™:
Just a update!!! Modified,Rebuilt, clean flashed... Running perfectly!!! As always it took some work but its alive!!

Yes the patch didn't fix the Setup Wizard Fc but, it was worth a shot!! Still working on logs... Weird thing is when I go to get snap data the files are empty... Ehhh...?

Anyways, here it is... All clean flashed...

Broken Experimental Masquerade build 0716 Modified 30R

Broken Kernel OC 0710

BaNks 0701 Dynamics

Masquerade Framework

Substratum Engine

Light OC / Voltage... Working on Final Tuning .. .. Fast Fast FAST!!!

Thank you!!! @ Silesh!!! We will get it eventually!! For now just having a fun working on it!!!

And

Of coarse Tah Screens!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] niknok:
Hi,

I'm quite new to this but I'm really trying hard. I'd like to seek guidance/direction on what I'm doing wrong. I tried using CM and RR to flash my device, but both have problems when I install GApps. I tried both Open GApps and Banks Dynamic GApps, different problems.

A problem with GApps was an infinite "optimizing application" loop. I read back this thread and found that using the "pico" zip file is recommended. Did so, but the applications keep crashing. Both true for CM and RR. Using Banks GApps goes through the infinite loop too.

Some things I might be doing wrong:

a) When installing the ROM, i get an error that my device is melius and not meliusltexxx or something else. I edited the updater-script to force melius

b) I'm using TWRP with adb sideload. Not sure if that is a problem.

I'll keep on experimenting but any advise would be appreciated. Or maybe this is just too much for me and I should stick with stock roms ....

Thanks, I've learned a lot just reading through the posts.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
You are using the wrong twrp.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] niknok:
Hi Silesh.Nair, thank you for the lead. I am downloading the TWRP now from the OP. I didn't think would matter, but I guess I was wrong. I'll post the updates once I get it going.

---------- Post added at 03:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 AM ----------

Hi Silesh.Nair, worked like a charm. RR Marshmallow with GApps pico. I'll experiment on this, and maybe the other ROMs too.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] coffee-turtle:
The description sounded like it held promise.

Sorry it didn't work. I thought finally we could get rid of that problem.

I had to go back for now to the previous update. It was easier for me to fix all of the FC issues, which is done now. However, curious thing.... when I do a double tap on my hardware buttons they act like I did a long press instead and vibrate as well. I have them set up correctly in the ROM Control. Crazy! I am trying to fix this....have you seen this behavior before?

---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------

I think it has something to do with the Double-Press Power button to open Camera setting. I have the thing switched off, but it still opens the camera!!!! AND I cannot move to the switch in the ROM Control to the ON position for the Camera either! What is going on here? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] r1l_Alex_™:
No issues here...

What broken OS version are you using?

Also you may need to go set custom actions in Pieces... Set your override functions etc... Make sure you dont have both custom actions in Pieces and Nova set wrong .... Use either or...

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] r1l_Alex_™:
X2... ? I'm pretty impressed ... it takes a lot of work to get Broken clean flashed and running with gapps installed with no fc issues... Unless there's a new build floating around I don't know about... lol..

Anything past 4.5 fcs on setupwizard...

Glad to see you got it running...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] coffee-turtle:
Yeah, I realized that! :^) Hope to get it solved soon. In the meantime I just disabled the long-taps on each button.

Broken OS Oc Kernel 710 on a light profile...

Banks 710 Dynamics...

Completely themed!!!

Still running flawlessly here... Its been on my daily device and I run the crap out of it... Its solid and fast!!! No issues!!!

Just wanted to let you know.!!! Thank you!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Gibbon_999:
How did you work around the FC on setup?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] rascalifah:
Take out your simcard first..

Then flash..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Gibbon_999:
Nope - doesn't have a SIM card installed, and it still FC's on setup.

It works fine if I just flash the ROM, as soon as any sort of Gapps goes on, Google Play Services start crashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] r1l_Alex_™:
I don't want to give a detailed explanation on the steps involved... Reason, if you do anything wrong or your device isn't setup properly prior to the flash you can mess up a lot more than what you could "locally" recover from... So I hate to upset anyone, I won't share it.. I don't want anyone to end up with a dead device...

Basically the Rom is disassembled... Everything is pushed out and initial permissions need for Prebuild, SW,TTS,Phone Services, FW etc are written to allow setting of presistants during the Gapps Flash on a clean install.. This includes no ps presistant update during initial setup and no backup sync for

Import ie, App data, settings, etc,etc... From Google... Security settings etc...

A few manifest changes are done and everything is reassembled and back to zip we go... Its saved OTG and I boot recovery and manually clean all the way down to recovery caches etc...

Recovery is restarted , System write Permissions , etc. I mount everything needed,full wipe, restart recovery, once more... Then proceed with a normal "Clean Flash"

1. Rom "Rebuilt" Still a Silesh build of coarse!!! Just modified...

2. Kernel

3. Gapps

4. Fonts

Wipe Caches and Reboot... Done....

Everything runs and is setup as you normally would.... :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] r1l_Alex_™:
Current screens with 90% Themeing done... Sorry I had forgot to include them on the last post...

excited to try out XOSP,thanks silesh :good:

But,I would love to have another AOSP based roms though.

Great Job as always.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Cannot risk making non cm based Roms without testing them out first.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] r1l_Alex_™:
Just check on mega myself!!! What silesh don't keep me in the loop anymore? Lol!!!

I have a fresh device and I'm about to flash XOSP as we speak!!! Anything I need to be checking for?

---------- Post added at 08:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ----------

Send them to me if that's the case... If you need anything let me know... I apologize I've been out of it, been so busy here I haven't had time to do to much of anything...

I'm working slim6 I've gotten It to boot!!! I have to make a few more changes and I can send it to you along with a change log...

If you have any AOSP based test builds just send them my way and ill get to work on them...

Xosp is being flashed now and ill update the thread when I get it set up!!!

Thank You Silesh!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] r1l_Alex_™:
About to clean flash the BrokenOS 726 build...!!! Gonna run it on the stock kernel for testing...

It maybe awhile before I can update the thread...

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] coffee-turtle:
Thank you for this, Alex. Is it practical to give [MENTION=6608674]silesh[/MENTION] your steps and maybe have this configuration incorporated in the ROM's right from the beginning?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] r1l_Alex_™:
Just a quick update!!! Still FCs on setup but, all is good!!!

Rebuilt and Clean Flashed... Running stable and stupid fast!! Still getting everything setup...
