[Q] What custom firmware exists for the Mega? - Samsung Galaxy Mega

Hi folks,
According to the Cyanogenmod.org site, the Mega is not yet officially supported.
So I am curious, what custom firmware exists at this point for the Mega?
By firmware I do not mean a ROM in which someone has changed a few images, colors, or other styling, or added an app.
I mean something where the core software has been improved.
Thanks.

OK thanks. If I end up buying the Mega, I will assist with doing the port.
Alas several interesting phones are going to be released mid-October so we'll see if I do buy one.

I am everywhere. I plan on having a Mega in a couple of weeks. ATT will not be able to turn me down. I will make them an offer they cant refuse. so I figure I will get to know the lay of the land. been freakishly boring over with the Note. im a little concerned.
trying to figure why XDA has not gotten an i527 dedicated forum going. I know it was requested shortly after release. I know its not rooted yet but it sure might eliminate any confusion as to firmware available. don't need bricks with i527 stamped on the side of it.
so just remember "vacuum cleaners suck" and "feelin 7-up makes your hands sticky"

Thanks man.
I guess I'm still used to the Rezound forums.
You gotta be defensive in that community cos the ppl are just jerks,
I see now you were just playin around, sorry for jumpin on ya like that.
wow the rezound group hit some sore spots, i just that that newtoroot is here as well and had similar rezound tension aswell, i thought maybe i had missed an unlockbootloader root is back on memo, no hard feelings, i can be a bit harsh sometimes
I'm still interested in testing if you haven't found 2 to do it yet.
Why would I like to test?
I love to play with things and experiment to see what can make my devices look and run better. My devices are usually in a state of flux at most times because i flash and play with everything.
You guys do good work as well so it's always interesting to see what you have done next.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present: The first custom rom (not created by me...yet) on At&ts network.
I just received my Htc One yesterday- here is a something cool.
I will be updating this thread for a little. I claim no responsibility in creating this rom, I simply ported it. In fact, thank the guy over in the Htc One version.
Working well so far. Ill be updating this thread. :laugh:
So far the issues are (but will be fixed quickly):
-WiFi
-4G Icon
-Maybe more to come
i think someone already confirmed that you can flash the international rom. No porting needed?
And did you ask mike if you can port?
I have install the international Rom in my att HTC one and everything works. I don't think you need to port anything.

[TIPS & DISCUSSION] ROMs working with International Patchers (by jrkruse)

Original Post: I'm sorry if I am approaching this a little off, but I am just wondering if it would be possible for someone to port the Samy Deluxe S5 Style Operation Ivy ROM to the Verizon S4. If I knew how to port, I would certainly give this one a go. I know there is someone out there who would know how to do this!
I have recently figured out just how awesome @jrkruse's International Patchers can be when used properly! And that is precisely what I'd like to discuss here. I'd like this to become a reference for users to be able to come to or even a place where you can share your knowledge of how to have the most success with using these patchers to run international ROMs!
First of all, be sure to check out the patchers HERE!! (thanks @joshm.1219 for the link)
Secondly, if you're with Verizon and you have had luck with a particular i9500 or i9505 ROM using one of the mentioned patchers, I encourage you to share your detailed method with tips on which ROM you've installed and maybe even your experience with any extra steps you may have had to taken or mention any bugs or conflicts you've noticed with the particular ROM (There is mention that heavily themed ROMs may be a bit trickier to patch).
Last, but not least, PLEASE be sure to take a second to head over to the official patchers thread and THANK jrkruse!!! I mean, think about how incredible these patchers really are for flashaholics like us!! Its opened a whole new world for us!

Yeah, those international patchers are siick!!:good: Here's my question about using them...
With an MDK build/Verizon i545, does anyone know whether we can use i9500 or i9505 ROMs (or both?) while using @jrkruse's International ROM patchers?

9505. 9500 has some different hardware so it would likely cause some problems.
I changed the OP to be a more relevant thread for where this has headed THANKS for everyone's helpful feedback, pointers and links!
I have had some luck using Patcher version 25 with Imperium v9.0, with the only issue I find to be with the InCallUI force closing on me. Any help with that common issue would be great!!

[Q] is there any work out there to get 4.4.4 to work on AM2?

Just wondering if we can get CM11 or something else on here and if it will work?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
For CM11 you'd probably have to message their team and see I'd they can help us out. I'm sure the version of KK that's released for the Chinese version of this phone could be ported but it seems like nobody can or is interested in doing it. Sadly it just seems like there's no development for this thing at all
Stock/rooted?

Because none of us are developers or know what to do. If I knew how to port a ROM, I'd get CM11 on here ASAP, trust me.

Personally I don't see us getting KK for this device. That would be ridiculous but if they can openly post on their website that other variations of the device are getting it but will not confirm we are then I'm thinking we wont. Hopefully some of the Devs who got these things at the event can port something for us from the Mate 7 or another variation of the Mate 2

That would be really dumb if all their other phones are getting updated except the one phone they sell here. I hope they recognize this.
That being said, I wonder why they just gave out 15 of these to developers. No other company would do that lol. Their Google Plus page even said "custom ROMs are right around the corner" or something like that. Maybe we'll get an official custom ROM, like the One Plus One with its custom CyanogenMod?
Of course I'm just speculating haha, only time will tell.

That would be sweet. An official custom ROM. I like the sound of that. We can dream until they either burst our bubble or deliver. [emoji4]

Doesn't matter to me. GOING IN, I figured from the past look at Huawei, they provided little to no updates to their devices.
So, going in, I knew it wasn't going to get KK. Don't really care! JB4.3 has been ROCK SOLID with no lockups, lags, problems
of any kind. Heck, I don't even root it! It "just runs". I don't want to screw around with unstable builds, don't have time as this is
my bread & butter for work.

Also no that link is for US DEV Unlocked firmware which will prob turn into the custom thing, in layman's terms.
