Hello, I'm a new member here. Been reading for the past few days on this forum and I have a few questions.
First of all I have my phone for a month now and I got fed up with the little internal space, so about 4 days ago I decided to Root my phone with the "upd_1.zip" file. After that I flashed the CWM4 on it and whiped my battery data.
I meanwhile bought titanium backup also and moved few not so essential apps to the sd card via titanium backup (im not sure if this creates the needed partition on the SD card or not though? do i need to do it proprerly or is it good as is?)
To get to the point:
My main problem is that the phone since it got rooted started to "forget" it's settings... mainly what bugs me is the Contacts get unlinked every time i reboot the phone, accounts get unlinked, my adw launcher forgets it's theme (this also happens without reboot), my yahoo email doesn't notify me properly, and apps in general don't seem to work properly anymore... (i also thought it might be from the app move to sd card, but i left the launcher for example on the phone, also haven't touched the contacts app...so i don't know)
How can I fix this? Will a new ROM help me fix these problems?
If yes, can you recommend me any good roms? I was looking a lot at cyanogen mod and ice cream sunday, but i cannot decide which one to get because i'm not sure which one is the most stable one of them?
What matters most for me in a rom is probably to be stable without too many bugs, to run flash if possible and to be more responsive than my current stock 2.3.3 rom. I don't really use the stock apps/gps stuff either, except maybe the youtube app, camera and the market app
My other request is please someone write down how to install a damn rom for noobs without any abreviations because the developers' install description is really vague and abstract in many cases (for the Cyanogen mod or ICSunday please)
My phone runs:
S5840XWKP6
kernel
2.6.35.7-perf-CL313173

Hello Mate
Whatever custom ROM you flash to will have a bug or two but they aren't anything serious thats just the thing with custom Rom's.
Installing Rom's is very easy as long as your phone is rooted (as you have already done) and you have CWM (clockwork mod recovery tool 5.xx not 4.xx) as you have said. There is a problem with CWM 4.xx with the Galaxy Ace it tends not to work properly.
All Rom's are downloaded from links on this website, copied to your SD card as a zip file (which it's downloaded as) then applied by using the CWM tool which appears in your apps after you have installed it.
There are lots of step by step instructions of how to do this just google "how to root galaxy ace" or "how to install CWM 5" or "how to install custom ROM" do you get my drift?
I'm using custom Ice cream sunday CM7.2 from the development section of this forum. It's fast got only what you need in a Rom and has hardly any bugs.
Do some reading my friend i've flashed my phone about 50 in the 2 months i've had it just testing ROM's but i like the one i have now.
Cool, thanks for the reply mate, do u have any idea about the problem i'm having lately by losing my settings?
I was asking for the how to flash guide because of statements like these:
"then install zip
after install, go through set up then set oc if you use and any other settings then reboot."
which makes no sense to me, go through what set up and what's an OC... and what other settings?.... get my drift?
And i'm currently downloading "theMyth" rom to test out... hope it turns out, it'll be my first custom rom
If your using clock work mod 4, it's not saving anything because it doesn't work with the galaxy ace i only found out after it messed up my phone and of course the back up of my settings didn't work!
OC means over clocked cpu application, yes you can over clock the cpu just the same as a pc or laptop make it run faster etc but it's not advised unless you know what your doing or you could fry it.
You definately need CWM 5 installed before you go flashing any new roms. Also have a good read of the reviews for a ROM before you try it etc that gives you all the info you need to know if you will get on with it or not.
uhm yeah... just flashed themyth on my phone and redownloaded titanium backup and it doesn't show up on my apps list, wtf
Make sure your installing apps to your phone and not your SD card??
Also check CWM has changed to version 5xx etc.
still if i would be installing to my sd card shouldn't it show up on my app draws or whatever it's called? on market i don't have "open" option only "uninstall"
Ahh yes i had this problem. Some custom roms need google apps (gapps) installed for your phone to receive stuff from the market.
Do you see the Andriod Market App? Can you sign in?
this is what i was telling you earlier depending on whos Rom you are installing depends what things they've taken out or left in. If it's taken out you have to download some or the apps again to get other things to work.
yup... i redownloaded it from the market, but "open" wouldn't show up, luckily i had the app on my dropbox too and i managed to start the restore apps on it now, im curious what happens when restore will finish
it worked afterall, im happy atm
cool mate you will learn alot by trying different roms but the basic process for flashing is always the same.
Hi guys!
I've been reading your comments on this thread and now i have a lot of questions!:
1) I have installed 4.0.0.9 but according to cooltt it's better CWM 5.x.x, how i can install it now?
2) I thought like jokerman170 to install TheMythICS but now i seeing that he has had problems, how you solved it? Which version you downloaded?
thanks in advanced!!
u can flash it just like the 4, i don't really like this rom, looks like a stupid theme and i got 256 rating on quadrant :| wtf
i downlaoded the TheMyth beta 2 full
icsunday2 here i come
icsunday2 it's difficult to install for a newbie like me and some people have had problems with this rom.
Why TheMyth is bad?
sorry for my english
it wasn't too fast and was kinda buggy and low quality imo, ICSunday is cool, but can't really log onto my wi-fi yet, working on it now
EDIT: worked with second try, really impressed with ICS2 atm
Okay mate
Ok guys thing is installing icsunday is not tough but u didn't understand what to do.mmmmm use cwm 5 for icsunday and icsunday2 is best rom ever.
sent from my phone
plzzzz hit thanks if I helped you in any means .......
i did use the 5, cause the Myth rom upgrades it for you
Btw could you check out my other thread that i just started.... im kind of a retard...
Hi Guys
I have decided my first Rom will be Omega.. hoping I an keep it for ages as I dont relish jumping from ROM to ROM.
I have read lots of posts about Omega and the official thread but I still cant seem to find a complete step by step installation guide.
is the newest version v28? it says on the thread (Indies thread)
Please read the following before flashing v28:
1. Make sure to make and keep in a safe place an efs backup, in case you need to restore it.
Uderstood
2. If you want to flash theme or kernel, please make sure first they are compatible with Jelly Bean Omega
Understood
3. Please update Omega Files to v1.03 from Play Store More additions to v1.03 will be added soon.
I have to download the Omega Files app BEFORE flashing the ROM?
4. Get New Play Store from here: Play Store v3.9.16 - install via CWM Recovery
Fine but when do I flash this? before or after flashing the ROM
5. Contacts mod with Greek index, download from here and flash it with CWM Recovery.
Dont know what this is about?
Ok clicked the link in the sig to be taken to where the Omege Roms are, there is JB and one for ICS. i assum its the JB one i go for if i want JB
do I flash using Odin or do I boot to recover and install from SD?
currently just running stock rom..all i have done do far is rooted phone installed CWM and Titanium and busybox oh and Rom Manger

Android 4.0.4

Hi
Dl the omega .zip file, then flash it via the recovery.
The kitchen app must be updated after the flash. For the playstore, it's the same flash it after.
I don't know about the contacts. Maybe someone else can help you.
Don't worry, it's very simple with this rom, moreover you got AROMA so you will be able to choose some option at the installation.
Send us a message when you succeed

3. If this is your first Omega install, then simply update the Omega Files App through playstore once your Omega install has been complete.
4. You can flash the playstore at any point before or after. I would suggest after you have installed Omega Rom.
5. If you dont know, prolly dont need it so dont worry about it. Sorry I personally have no clue what it is.
Reboot and flash zip via SD, Very easy to install with the Aroma Installer.
thanks done now with no prolems.. i think
however even though i went for the Bloatware removal installation and i did a factory reset through cwm recovery, then wiped cache then delvik cache, under storage it says i just have 6.5gb remaining even though the list above adds up to nothing really due to bloatware removal. seems the storage for my phone prior to flashing rom is still stored somehow?
Any thoughts on why and how i can fix this?
edit just installed es file explorer and under SD card all my apps are there prior to flashing ROM, although not showing in dock
I just deleted everything manually of the SF card
is Omega v28 supposed to be only have 11GB total space even wIth the bloat ware removed.mine shows 11GB free now thought it would be n more though
I am really looking the ROM though, quite slick.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
11gb sounds about right. It doesn't sound like the factory reset worked 100%.
Sounds like you got it sorted now.
Now enjoy adding themes and mods!

I am indeed
Just flashed Siyah Kernal, 15 toggles (love it), and Blue theme..
I need to just get my head around the Stweaks now so I can sensibly try some overclocking.. saw a guy on youtube who has this overclocking pull down notification with a nifty little schedule that could overclock/underclock depending on the situation. I'd love to know if that is something available through the Omega ROM?
Haven't heard of that app personally. ...
I have undervoted my phone to -50v and very impressed with battery life. Generally get 5+ hrs of screen time and 2 days on 1 charge.
Haven't tried overclocking as it runs smooth as is
Not sure which blue theme but give motomoto blue a go if your not using that 1
Sent from my Jelly Omega SIII using XDA App
Yes its Mottomoto I haev installed. love it.
the overclock app I saw that lets you set profiles is called Android Overclock from Playstore. Its not free though its £1.49. looks like the one i saw though.. havent bought it. i'll see what I can do from the Stweaks first once I figure out how to use it
Once problem and it seems the only problem I see is that the battery life has depleted to 60 % since 7am. thats just a bit of browsing and installing the Siyah Kernal and Mottomoto theme and 15 toggles.
Normally I play resource intensive games on a 40 minute commute, plus calls, internet and streaming to spotify and on stock I would have close to 80% by the 9am.. and maybe 75% by now. so seems to be depleting rather fast. All connections off, sync off and auto brightness set to minimum..
any thoughts?.. I am using the Siyah Kernel from the Omege Kitchen.

this is pure stock deodexed nothing removed, and has adb as root. also doesnt have any mods
thank you for posting this here! :good:
Many thanks!
Thanks for this! Works great, feels more fluid... Except doesn't seem to fix the touchscreen deadzones that occur intermittently (but of course that's for Samsung to take care of)
How this update should be installed? Adb?
Edit. Sorry, never mind, this is for N5100 but I have N5100. Waiting for new version for my device.
I am interested in loading this rom on my wife's tablet. I have been flashing rom's on my Motorola Phones for years now and am very comfortable doing so, but a real Novice when it comes to Samsung.
I am on 4.1.2, insecure loader. I have tried both CWM and TWRP recoveries and can use either. I have also used Odin as well.
Question, do I need to wipe data first, and how do I load this rom onto a Samsung Device.
Sorry for the trouble, but I am a fast learner and will be on board soon (I hope)

Since this is an OS upgrade (4.1.2 to 4.2.2) a data wipe is highly suggested. Frankly, I would suggest wiping system, data, cache and dalvik just for good measure. If she wants to keep a lot of the apps' progress/settings she has, I would install Titanium Backup and back up all user apps first before doing anything. She may have everything synced with her Google account as I believe you can sync apps and their data through Google now, but I haven't tested it yet.
To install the ROM, you'd just need to put it somewhere locally on your tablet, I have a '000Flash' folder on the root of my internal SD storage for any ROMs/kernels/modems (on my phone), etc. Place it in there, then get yourself into recovery. Once in recovery, wipe everything I mentioned above, then go back to the install/flash option of whatever recovery you're using. Flash the .zip file you just downloaded and put locally on your tab. Wait a few minutes and boot her up!
Just make sure you have the right software for the right version tablet you have, N5110 vs N5100.

No problem, shouldn't be too different than what you're already used to, but I can understand the need for clarification when it comes to different devices as they're all a little bit different.
OK, on 4.2.2, no problems at all after I found how to turn debugging mode on. THAT IS STRANGE

Also you will need to have CWM or TWRP installed as a custom recovery for it to work. There are plenty of options for installing and the new versions that are non touch should fix any issues uyou had previously. Happy flashing!

I'm all rooted and running the ROM...
This ROM definitely needs a little TLC...
How about putting a list of requests together so maybe we have an Idea of what we can expect?
Here is a thread for customizing this ROM!!!
Here is a link to the Google Edition 4.3 Camera
This works I have it installed. and it is pretty sweet. (even on a 5mp Camera)
I installed xposed framework today and it works well on this ROM. Has anyone else tried this?
You can go here for other mods to add to it...
After you have the Xposed frame work installed you can install the app_settings see attachments, to modify the per app DPI settings.
example, you open up app settings go to gmail, set the dpi to 160 & screen (dp): 1000x1600
I did this for System settings as well and they look nice.
Play around with it and we can build on it...
You can find other mods that you can see if they work and build a list in a new thread. REMEMBER TO BACK UP FIRST!
Ge the disabler in attachments to flash in case you get into a boot loop. These work well since this is a stock ROM.
NottachXposed works very nicely for this ROM... You just have to play with it a little bit, but you can tweak it out nicely...
Don't forget to grab the Multi-Window Manager over in the Themes and app section. It works Great Without any flaws so far...!
If you need a 3-way reboot menu, here is an excellent app here for that...
Knock it Off Please
OK, please stop with all the "bad-mouthing" and "trolling" and... the "Off-Topic" posts. You know the rules, especially in the Dev Forum.
You wanna post garbage or talk about who's gonna do what, then go to the main Android "Off Topic" forum.

Thanks for the deodexed, recovery flashable rom. I just flashed it and got everything set up. So far everything is running great.

OMEGA v19
FIGURED WITH INDIE RELEASING HIS 4.4 LEAKED ROM I had better let you guys enjoy it a bit before the v20 4.4 and an unloked bootloader port heh, joking probably wont see her for a bit boys and girls so enjoy what you can while you have it. btw thats 4.4 that triggers knox but ima try it later since I've triggered it messing with SS trying to get zips working for people over last cpl weeks... im sure well see 4.4 tw soon enough til then enjoy.
This is a follow up to my v18 ROM any problems or issues try first searching that thread for info then post issue or problem herein v19's thread please.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2591648
thanks testers of my original port v18. of course ...indie... genius and the rest of the omega crew. thx ppls
like all my new roms this is multicarrier friendly meaning you might have to flash your modules and possibly modem and apns to get full service but its very easy to do and nearly all files possibly needed for this conversion are available at http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=devices&uid=23269279319201630 along with various other mods and rom ports.
Installing is straight forward: zip is for slots 1-420 and the restorable install is for any slot including STOCK!!!
And this wont hurt your phone or leave incompatability issues like other SS roms may have done. Plz post problems issues here not on indies or any other omega forum. Thanks must be given to indie and anyone he says I just ported this one was the easiest one I've done and has been 100% successful for everyone I personally installed for. Be sure to +thank me or indie or Download another rom.
Install by running zip from Safestrap or TWRP. Untested on CWM. After installing if not a MK2 VZW user you will have to flash your Safestrap modules and modem and apn if all else fails. This installs the best on a fresh rom slot ie newly created / blank.
Zip DL:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23311191640114279
SS RESTORE DL:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319202601
Install: unzip the backup files in the zip to a folder like /TWRP/backupsi/141fa3db/ndie-Omega19bygogolie no matter where the files need to be one level in a directory named something and your TWRP/SS backup directory needs to read from that location if you cant figure this out you probably should not be installing a custom anything. Once files are where you want them pop into SS/TWRP and restore these to any slots butt even STOCK. yay ok bed time ill update and make pretty maybe later.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING THE RESTORE VERSION OVER THE ZIP. PERSONALLY I THINK ITS SAFER MORE COMPATIBLE WITH ALL PHONES WITH 3.7+
hi haters.
thx wip testers and omega crew clans. thx again hashc0de and surge ur my heroes your works been a godsend

Hey man one thing i've noticed with this rom (both SS and zip options) as well as your other rom M1A3, Wifi seems to have trouble maintaining a stable connection. It tends to drop off and i find myself having to toggle it every so often.
The other issue is also with wifi, when i try to connect to an access point using 2 phase authentication (WAP + PEAP) it will accept the credentials, pass verification but never receive the IP address. It then just bounces back and forth between scanning for wifi networks and trying to obtain an IP address from the access point....which kills the battery.
I can connect to the very same access point from the stock rom.
I've tried flashing the modules, replacing the modules with the ones from the stock rom, as well as replacing the wap_config.conf file from the working rom slot. no go
Hopefully you can clue me into a fix. Im on MJ7, I have seen this problem come back after i re-flashed my image with Odin. its definitely related to these roms in particular
Other than that i really like both of these roms. the gold theme on M1A3 is pretty cool too
+1 using foxhound. I love that ROM but am having the same problems as above. Won't connect to work network and keeps searching and obtaining IP address but never connects and kills battery. Used data on way home for maps and signal said 4g but Google said not connected had to switch back to stock and all was fine...shame cause I love foxhound.... Using ss 3.71 on MK2

So the first fix didnt change anything unfortunately. Flashed the second zip and on reboot had a ton of FC errors and couldn't even unlock the screen. Restarted again and it was pretty much soft bricked...had to restore from backup.
Flashed zip in twrp, loaded great no serious problems. Only issue is that it keeps trying to encrypt my SD card. I am concerned about losing data. Please advise how to stop encr. I have been rebooting and took out card. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I thought it would be helpful to share my post from the Foxhound thread on installation of Omega on MDK http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49744674
[ROM]Foxhound Diamond Dogs 3.6 TW-4.3-MK2/AnyCarrier-SS-KNOXfree-CLEAN-FAST-THEMED
Gigilie, I would be happy to walk through Omega instillation on MDK. It's very easy.
Before you start make sure you downloaded Omega. v. 19. I used the .zip version and reccomend flashing .zip for all MDK recovery based installs. Also dl the most current ktoonsz 4.3 tw kernel. The version in Omega did not work well and a fresh install is best. Also dl any mods you like, such as those you might use with HD or other 4.3 TW roms.
1. Using recovery, I use TWRP 2.6.3, be sure to make a back up nandroid of your current rom.
2. Wipe. A full factory wipe is best.
3. Flash Omega v. 19 and the new ktz kernel and wipe cache and Calvin for good measure (not absolutely necessary).
4. Reboot, set up and give the rom some time to set up and load your backuped apps from the playstore.
5. Go back to recovery and flash your mods.
If you are brave or foolish, restore only the data from your 4.3 or 4.2 TW Nandroid.
If you start getting fc's then wipe data, and reload your data and apps manually from the playstore and or from Ti backup. I found that data from my HD 12 Nandroid was compatible with Omega. I was using the S4 UI in HD v. 12, not the Note 3 UI; and data from other setups may not play well with Omega v.19.
That's it. Easy peasy. Have fun!

OMEGA v19
FIGURED WITH INDIE RELEASING HIS 4.4 LEAKED ROM I had better let you guys enjoy it a bit before the v20 4.4 and an unloked bootloader port heh, joking probably wont see her for a bit boys and girls so enjoy what you can while you have it. btw thats 4.4 that triggers knox but ima try it later since I've triggered it messing with SS trying to get zips working for people over last cpl weeks... im sure well see 4.4 tw soon enough til then enjoy.
This is a follow up to my v18 ROM any problems or issues try first searching that thread for info then post issue or problem herein v19's thread please.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2591648
thanks testers of my original port v18. of course ...indie... genius and the rest of the omega crew. thx ppls
like all my new roms this is multicarrier friendly meaning you might have to flash your modules and possibly modem and apns to get full service but its very easy to do and nearly all files possibly needed for this conversion are available at http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=devices&uid=23269279319201630 along with various other mods and rom ports.
Installing is straight forward: zip is for slots 1-420 and the restorable install is for any slot including STOCK!!!
And this wont hurt your phone or leave incompatability issues like other SS roms may have done. Plz post problems issues here not on indies or any other omega forum. Thanks must be given to indie and anyone he says I just ported this one was the easiest one I've done and has been 100% successful for everyone I personally installed for. Be sure to +thank me or indie or Download another rom.
Install by running zip from Safestrap or TWRP. Untested on CWM. After installing if not a MK2 VZW user you will have to flash your Safestrap modules and modem and apn if all else fails. This installs the best on a fresh rom slot ie newly created / blank.
Zip DL:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23311191640114279
SS RESTORE DL:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319202601
Install: unzip the backup files in the zip to a folder like /TWRP/backupsi/141fa3db/ndie-Omega19bygogolie no matter where the files need to be one level in a directory named something and your TWRP/SS backup directory needs to read from that location if you cant figure this out you probably should not be installing a custom anything. Once files are where you want them pop into SS/TWRP and restore these to any slots butt even STOCK. yay ok bed time ill update and make pretty maybe later.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING THE RESTORE VERSION OVER THE ZIP. PERSONALLY I THINK ITS SAFER MORE COMPATIBLE WITH ALL PHONES WITH 3.7+
hi haters.
thx wip testers and omega crew clans. thx again hashc0de and surge ur my heroes your works been a godsend

Edit: I forgot to mention it is the Restore version.
It took nearly 24 hours to upload due to my dreadful internet connection but here it is, the latest Android version for the galaxy Mega I9200 AKA Kit Kat I9200XXUDNE4, repacked with a full Knox free bootloader.:good:
DISCLAIMER
I'm not responsible for anything, as usual procede only if you know what you do, and make a backup beforehands in case things go out of control.
This said since this ROM is Knox free you will be able to get back to 4.2.2 or to whatever ROM you want in case you don't like Kit Kat.
IMPORTANT
You can flash this ROM ONLY if you come from a non Knox Rom.
It means that if you were on a ROM that had Knox, like the latest 4.2.2 versions, you can't flash this ROM and in that case you'll have to go for the regular 4.4.2 Knox version available at sammobile.
BEFORE TO FLASH
Get a custom recovery, cuz this ROM comes without any recovery.
Why?
Because at the time I was testing it I kept my custom recovery to see if I could reuse it with Kit Kat, and since it worked, and since I don't want to loose again 24 hours to upload an other ROM with a recovery, you'll have to go like this.
There are plenty of custom recoveries on the forum, as for me I use that one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2415294
but you can use any one you like, it doesn't matter as long as it has been installed BEFORE to flash Kit Kat.
Edit
If for some reasons you want to stick to stock recovery head to post #5, I've attached it there with some instructions.
THE FLASH
Download the ROM, unrar it and you'll get a tar.md5 file.
Open ODIN 3.04, put the file in the PDA section.
On your phone, enter download mode (press volume down and start at the same time), then connect it to your computer.
Once it has been recognized by Odin (it gets blue on the left upper case) start the flash.
It will take approx 5 mns before it reboots, that's it.
If everything goes ok it will reboot twice and then it will enter the set up wizard.
It could be that some app forces close and that it reboots one more time, in that case you'll have to enter recovery and format /data (and since you have a custom recovery you can do so without erasing your sd card contents).
ROOT
Easy, download the latest SuperSU_1.94.zip from the master chainfire, flash it from recovery, reboot, voila.
REMOVING THE LAST KNOX TRACES:
This has to be done manually (I could have done it and repacked/uploaded a new pre rooted ROM with everything done but sorry, my connection is too slow )
There are some Knox apps in the /system/app folder and in the system/priv-app folder:
-the ones that have Knox in their name are easy to guess;
-one is called KLMSAgent and should be deleted as well, and so too ContainerAgent.apk, ContainerAgent.odex, ContainerEventsRelayManager.apk and ContainerEventsRelayManager.odex.
In the /system/lib folder delete libknoxdrawglfunction.so.
Delete completely the system/preloadedkiosk folder and the system/preloadedsso folder.
In data/data delete the com.sec.knox.seandroid folder and the com.sec.knox.store, and the other com.sec.knox whatever folders there are.
Enjoy!!!:silly:
Stay tuned, in the coming days I will put some mods here...
I already made a deodexed version but I don't think I will upload it since it takes too long (24 hours again), so if anyone with a better connection feels like doing it he or she is welcome!

Yep, I have to be serious:cyclops: so here it is, I packed a stock recovery in case someone needs it for some reason (s).
It took (only) 15 mns to upload (not bad for a 10 mb file )...
Download the file, open Odin 3.04, put the file in PDA, flash, now you have KK's stock recovery, boooooo:laugh:
http://d-h.st/PGb
@bnb25
nope, you can't flash the ROM from recovery.
If some people are interested I can upload the deodexed version in the coming days when I have time, unless someone else does it before
I flashed somr stock rooted Rom awhile ago on the gf's phone. I been waiting on this update b4 doing anything. The phone acts up. Performance issues. She keeps ot close to full. Moving to sdcard doesn't work anymore. (That broke b4 filling the phone up. But didn't know that when we bought a 16gb sdcard.) So....thus has knox removed. You mentioned stock recovery as an option. You mean the stock kitkat recovery for the phone? Meaning that will introduce knox if you choose it? And if you do choose stock recovery with knox it can be rooted right? Just saying cause usually when first comes out it takes a lil time for someone to root it.

i try this rom for 10 minutes and it keep restarting..
so i flash again with ODIN 3.04, and it keep restarting again..
i have wipe data and cache+dalvik, i use twrp recovery.
can you troubleshoot this problem?
thank you :good:
sorry for my bad english...
Works fine for me. I had latest official 4.2.2 rom; I then flash a custom recovery and a rooted rom before I flash this rom via odin. After flashing this rom, I wiped it factory reset. All is well for me. 24hrs now. Thumbs up me general.....

@ninja_unmatched:
the recovery I attached is the stock KK recovery, and AFAIK it doesn't have Knox in it. About rooting a Knox cursed ROM, some people say it's easy but I don't have any personal experience on that matter.
But anyway, why don't you want to use a custom recovery?
I kept the CWM I had on 4.2.2, and after I upgraded to 4.4.2 it took me 2 minutes to root with Chainfire's SuperSu_1.94.zip...
So now I'm on Knox free KK, with custom recovery and root.
@congquer:
do a full factory reset and see if it helps.
@fpage:
nice to read that it works fine for you!:good:
@all:
if you are rooted and want to enable quad multi windows view (up to 4 apps opened at once on the same screen, fully resizable), check my thread in the themes and apps section..:
One of the best KK's new features cool:...
works like a charm, i've installed via odin, but lost root for some reason
Well the girl is like any other nooby internet user. She knows enough to get it infected over and over....lol. Knox actually helps a lil with that. I used to use my phone (Note 3) to check questionable sites out for clients. Knox would do its pop ups alerting me to there being something going on that I do not want. It has actually helped....weird thing sort of. Now of course it doesn't do that anymore but for her......it might lower my headaches if you know what I mean?
But...no I'm about to try it out now anyways after I backup her phone.

It could be that some app forces close and that it reboots one more time, in that case you'll have to enter recovery and format /data
This step right here causes the same boot loop mentioned. An app forces closes just like you said. soon as you format /data after a reboot it goes into a boot loop. I am also using TWRP 2.7
You have to clear cache not data. Even with that alot of apps just force close.

Well it didn't work for me. And the supersu only caused freezing then reboot. I just went and flashed stock. Maybe I'll root it later. The process also messed with the sdcard. Made it unreadable. So I used an app (Called Photorec) to recover some of the files from the 16gb sdcard she has.
Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk
whenever I want to delete knox from system/app, it always failed to delete.
I wonder why?
@ninja_unmatched:
your girl seems to be like mine, willy to use the phone but messing it all the time, and then calling her man to fix it:cyclops:.
But you are worse tham me cuz you use her phone as a guinea pig!
The problem with SuperSu is that at first you can't install it a a system app.
In order to fix this you'll need either twrp recovery or aroma file manager ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108 ) and do as follows:
-download SuperSu zip,
-extract the app from the zip but keep the zip intact,
-flash the SuperSu zip,
-do not reboot but go to your file system while still in recovery, either from the twrp menu or by flashing the aroma file manager file,
-delete SuperSu from the system/app folder,
-reboot,
-install the SuperSu apk manually as you would with any apk.
Now you are rooted, and your SuperSu being on your data/app folder it doesn't force close anymore.
Later you can convert SuperSu into a system app from the apk's settings.
But this force close is a problem on KK, cuz everytime an app FC (not only SuperSu) the phone reboots, pretty annoying and definitely a deal breaker for me.
The messing with the files is another problem, it's because somehow KK uses another format than JB. But this one is easy to overcome, just connect your phone to your computer and copy the files to it, or you can copy them from recovery/aroma file manager (that's what I did, at first I thought it was gone but nope, it's just a format stoy) to anywhere on your phone.
@fpage:
I'm happy for you if everything works:good:
@serpentlord:
salaam manis dari Jowo!:laugh:
Are you rooted? Sorry if the question sounds obvious, but if you are then deleting the Knox apks shouldn't be a problem.
Otherwise if it doesn't work, use aroma file manager (see above, and don't forget to push thanks for @amarullz our dev from Bandung!) and delete the Knox stuff from within recovery.
That said I went back to 4.2.2, this KK is plagued with bugs and I don't like the new multi windows implementation, so until they make a more stable version and until I find out whether I can implement some of JB's multi windows functions in it or not I'll stick to 4.2.2...
I'll make soon a thread about specific KK's bugs, hopefully sammy will listen but don't hold your breath
A guinea pig....lol. yeah. Only thing I ever did was flash a stock 4.2.2 rooted Rom. For wifi tethering purposes. It was fine for awhile. She starts complaining about it....I find she filled the thing up. Apps, apps, apps, mad games. I move some of the apps to the 8gb card. That helped. Later she fills it up again. I get a 16gb card and then find out it won't move anything to the card. Broke that somewhere after the 8gb card move. She goes on facebook and clicks on those questionable site posts and jave you sign up while giving them permission to post on your profile and all sorts if sites I find are questionable. That and apps from blackmart and from that site that offers hacked android games/apps.
So far now she seems fine on the stock official 4.4.2. It has a few widgets and apps in Russian. I've seen a few bugs that clear up on their own.
1. The lock screen took a bit to update. (What I mean is this. I know when playing music will say Milk it will show also on the lock screen. It wasn't doing that. Had to reboot to get that going.)
2. There is an app called Wish. It allows you to send something you think another person would be interested in that also has wish. That feature doesn't work to well. You can choose facebook or google+. FB no work at all. I think that is some other reason for that one. Google+ works but only if you choose the regular browser. Through chrome the page doesn't pop up woth the option to use the app to open the link.
And generally I've just run into these lil quarks that eventually just start working. Or partially work enough to get by.

Yes, my device is rooted. I've tried root browser, root explorer and soon. but it ends with the same result. I wonder why.
And my device also keep restarting every 10 minutes. Is it a bug?
@ninja_unmatched:
I can't tell about this wish.apk and widgets, at the time I was still on 4.4.2 I had stripped the Rom down to only about 20 system apps.
I allways do this on my ROMs cuz I don't like stock apps, I rather uninstall all that stuff and replace it by third part apps that are easier to manage and not so much on the spying/bloatware side...
@serpentlord:
what happens is probably that you have an app that forces closes, and this is what makes the phone reboot. I had the same problem and in my case it was youtube, in your case it could be any other app.
Just start your phone and keep an eye on it until it says "sorry app whatever has closed". Then if it reboots you know from wish app it comes and you can uninstall it and/or replace it with another app or another version from the same app.
