I have to say I agree with shayne....The offset for lte is development which for the i527 will never go anywhere will Knox and all the att bootloader crap...If you can live without lte the i9205 is much faster and smoother than the att megas I've played with and you'll have at least ssome dev support.

i have 4 phones on my acct with AT&T, obviously 1 was for upgrade. i am on the Next program with this one and my 14 day trial ends today.
i have unlimited data grandfathered and wouldnt want to lose that.
and others are right too, in the sense that any other phone is going to be smaller. how can i go back? even my Note seems like a Pez dispenser compared to this thing.

I'm in the same boat with grandfathered unlimited data plan...honestly the mega is sick...and if you root your i527 and put setcpu on it you'll see a massive improvement. I think shayne is testing out the settings I run mine on with stock kernel. Just keep it and see how it goes. I'm a huge tinkerer and dev, working in a custom kernel for the mega and still run rooted stock that I themed with xposed and wanam, combined with max clock it's as near as a custom rom as you'd want, with all the stability and speed of a rom. If you just download xposed and wanam the amount of customizations are literally endless.

Are you running the ATT version also?
I have often wondered in my 100's of flashes I have done, is it the custom rom that is necessary, or can I get all tge tweaks I really need just by using the Xposed Module.
I do like the phone alot, but I have held off on the root until I decided to keep and I feel I have read enough about it. As Shayne knows, I can really EFF things up if I want too.
In the past with Xposed, I have had reasonable success in modding, of course it could have been me or conflicting options on phone. Does it seem to be fully functional with rooted Mega?

Not with the mega...i have a note 3 n900a att...at least for me, I still try rom, and help some of my friends develop them but I pretty much stopped doing full devs of roms since all the tweaks you'd want can be done to stock with xposed and now wanam, plus stock rom stability. I really only build kernels and flash kernels and theme or tweak my own stock builds. Always heavily themed, sometimes I do some xml or build prop alterations...but since 4.2 I've run pretty much stock with tweaks as I've found it generally faster, smoother and more stable...Especially with certain kernels. And I have to say for a stock kernel the mega has a great one, and is really streamlined and efficient in the source code.
stick with your megas fellas trust me I have several devices l around and I always go back to my mega
(Even changed my xda handle lol)
Mega
---------- Post added at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 PM ----------
And just for the sake of clarity...everything I do, or other devs do either can be done, or is actually done thru xposed and the subsequent modules...so yes you can do everything I woukd do building you a rom in xposed, minus say deodexing or other tweak, which these days with the new krait chips is really unnecessary tbh. The chips are so powerful and efficient in the mega and the quad version of it in the note 3 don't need or show really any noticeable gains by many of the old tricks anymore. So my 2 cents on it...keep the mega, it's the best all round device I own, and by far my favorite. Run xposed, and wanam and I can almost guarantee you won't be missing a single thing.
Mega
I haven't used Xposed, but I'm pretty darn happy with the Mega stock rom. I'm running 4.4 on my captivate and my asus tf300t. The 4.4 is nice and smooth and small! I'm sure we will see a 4.4 update eventually for the mega. Google's ART feature is still very experimental, once they get that matured and implemented in their 4.4 builds, I'm sure even light weight devices will see the performance benefits.
Having root and being able to remove bloat was a big bonus for me. If I like themed roms, I would most certainly play with Xposed. The battery life on this Mega is something wonderful! Worth keeping the phone just for that reason.
Actually, after rooting and removing ATT and Samsung bloat, I am pretty happy with stock. I alternate between Nova and everything.me launchers.
Believe me, I have been a flashing addict. I have tried every rom available for my 3yo Nook Color, Captivate, Infuse, Note 1 and Nexus 7. And I have tested roms for 4 different Devs.
I find it's refreshing for everything on my phone to work without having to use a third party app (although it is boring)!!! I'm keeping my Mega, but I will probably never use ATT again, unless all the other carriers start locking their phones also.

Im in the same page here.. if rooting works for me is more than enough. I have removed all the "junk" apps and im happy with the stability of the mega and software. Yes is nice to use different roms and have options but at the end of the road as long as there are ways to "personalization" of the mega software im happy. I might miss the kernel abilities.. specially overclocking...
I appreciate the feedback folks and I am in. Stability is the key and I have experience with multiple device. Trusted advice is a valuable thing to and I beleive that is what I am getting here.
I now only need to find the trusted files and instructions on rooting this thing. I think I found them last night, around p40 in the "bounty for root" thread. However, I have always been hesitant about going into build prop and making changes. So I guess I need to read more.
Thanks again folks, ill be around.

With root, exposed, wanam, and nova launcher, I am happier with this phone then I ever was with my note1 or 2. I will still push for a way to flash but funny thing is, I probably would stick with the setup I have now. I guess it's a matter of knowing I could flash if I wanted but No, I don't think I need it or would even use it. What's wrong with me, wanting something, I don't think I will ever use?

I may have told you this before, but I went to manage apps and looked at every app....if it gives you the option to "turn off", then you should be able to delete without any problems. I've never had the balls to delete any thing else....

This. Once we got root and I used Xposed I'm happy as hell. I just want to be able to flash **** that I'm never gonna use.
Go to kingo and download the app on your pc...its a one click root system for a myriad of devices including the mega i527. I used it on my note 3 n900a with locked bootloader without issue. Enjoy

We should make a comprehensive list of **** that we have turned off
And another of the mods that we have done
For me I always wanted the clock in the middle with wanam I have it, also changed the battery and some other icons as well so for now even though I can't flash I am sticking with the Mega

But there is many things I do not understand. First what is flashing the rom and the point of doing so
Roms are custom OS's. since android is an open source platform , devs are able to take the OS and put in their own bells and whistles to make it better. Or to delete the treasure Trove of bloatware put in by manufactures own custom OS's like htc's sense or our own touchwiz

I'm a new user like you! Came from a Blackberry and I'm just starting to realize the amount of things you can do on Android. Quite amazing really.
I'm no expert, but the idea I get is that custom ROMs are custom OS that give you features and options above and beyond what the stock S3 ROM offers. There are many developers working on their own ROMs, you can check out the developer section for that. :3 But before you even flash a custom ROM you'll have to root your phone.

Most ROMs have the option to remove bloatware I think. Even if they do not, once you have rooted your phone and installed Titanium Backup from the Playstore you should be able to remove any unwanted apps.
Omega ROM is a good ROM that keeps the touchwiz interface. It's one of the ROMs that is closest to stock interface. Try googling for that.

If you're a noob don't do anything to your phone, there is a good chance you will brick it.
Just read forums watch some YouTube videos about flashing roms and what not.
Only then once you know the terminology, consequences of a screw up and general feel for things should you attempt to mess with your phone.
There is nothing wrong with stock, if you coming from Iphone first learn your Android inside out.
Don't be one of those asking if they need root, If you don't know what root is or what it does, you don't need it.
Rant over.

Ghost77 said it best!!
If your a noob, don't try to do something to your phone, if you do not know what you are doing!!
With that said, Samsung phones (except Verizon S3) are the easiest phones to root and flash roms!! Do your homework and do major research before you attempt to do anything. Look at youtube videos and carefully pay attention to what they are doing.
Also because you have a S3, make sure you follow and download the right files and roms for your particular phone. For example, use i9300 roms only for international s3, i710 roms for sprint and so on. If you don't know your model number go to settings - about device - model number.
Finally, like ghost77 said, stock is not bad! Rooting and flashing roms is for those people who want that little more customization and performance improvements. For the average user, they probably won't even notice a difference between a rooted phone with a custom factory rom and a unrooted factory device.
Well I already rooted, I installed setcpu what would be a good speed to optimize battery life but keep good performance overall

Everyone thinks that rooting your phone will void your warranty but if you watch this it states that under the "Magnuson Moss Warranty Act" Title 50 Chap 50 Section 2304 C) Waiver of Standards, it basically states that they have to prove that you did something to damage your device to void your warranty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YcIHaajda8&feature=g-user-u

No, officially the AT&T LG Optimus G is still on ICS. I actually like the stock ROM, but wanted a little freedom from ATT (tethering), so I flashed SnowJB. The only ATT bloat I kind of wanted was their Smart Wifi, and that's there, nothing else as far as this novice can tell.

Based on my conversation with an AT&T rep, you may be waiting a very long time (i.e., past the date that you purchase your next device), if you are going to wait on AT&T. Even on bone stock ICS, the LGOG is a great phone, so if that's what you are relegated to using, you are still doing very well.

The 4.2.2 ROM's in Original Development are even faster. They all have issues with camera and GPS, so they aren't good a DD's for most people. If you decide to try one of them, get Titanium Back Up Pro (it's worth the $3). It'll not only back up the apps, but the data too and if your new ROM uses the same launcher, you can get very close to a complete set up.

Really, though, unless the AT&T rep you know specifically works on releasing ROMs for their devices, how much do they ever really know? My understanding is that they know as much as we do about when these ROMs are being pushed. And usually they know far less about devices, at least in my experience.

Now heres what I ask myself, knowing that the development for our specific device is a bit slow, and flashing one of the international roms will make us loose some key features (like wifi calling).
It has me thinking what would be the real benefit to root out device right now?

I have rooted every phone I've owned within 3 days of getting it. However, ive had my one for two weeks now and honestly I don't have a compelling reason to root. Bloat? Virtually non-existent. And what is there is "freezable" within the stock rom. Sense5 is remarkably robust, fast, and solid.
But that's just me.

I've been wanting to root but haven't yet. Only thing I want is WiFi tether and HTC button to work as menu key.
To me, I have to root HTC one due to annoyances. Don't get me wrong, sense is neat... But 3 dot menu bar needs to go, GPS indicator in the status bar is too clunky, and power saver message that won't go away??! If those things were different, I wouldn't root.

Gotta have Root for Me
There are alot of reasons for root for some users, and for some not so much. It is always one of the first things I do. You can have root and keep a stock ROM it just gives you options, and when you get bored with stock these amazing cooks on XDA always have something brewing for you to check out. Some of my reasons to root specific to the HTC One on TMO.
Flash a writable kernel so my system files are now writable. Currently using Bulletproof.
DoubleTap2Wake so I don't have to bang on the IR blaster all day. HTC buttons don't like to be used, they always end up failing or plain falling out.
got rid of the 3 button menu bar and now have the HTC Logo as the menu button. Sweeet!
Makes it easier to back up and restore. I use several devices so I can Box my Titanium files and quickly be in the same position across whatever device I decide to use at the time.
Customization. blue % battery mod, transparent app drawer, transparent blinkfeed clock. I can do custom icons and get rid on annoying ones likd NFC or GPS.
The most important is to beat the stupid enterprise settings on exchange. I have to have email on my device, but i cant stand using a PIN or Pattern. solution=root!

Root to use your Playstation 3 controller. =.3
That's the main reason. And there's a MOD that lets you map the HTC button. That's pretty cool. (Not to repeat what others have already stated)
Also, how important is WiFi Calling? People seem to really want that. I haven't used it. LoL!! I'm guessing it's good for those that travel a lot?

WiFi calling is pretty important to me, mainly because where I work I have zero signal but do have access to wifi (I'm right underneath the access point, which is nice).
Some people depend on it at home as well, such as my boss' son.
As far as root goes....I haven't rooted yet, I just haven't felt the need to. :shrug:
Only reason I rooted was to use my MOGA Pro as a regular gamepad. Now I'm running rooted stock ROM and cruising through FF7 in an emulator during my train commute
I am rooted running the ARHD 7.4 ROM with WiFi calling. It works great. Rooting allows me to use titanium backup for all my apps. Also making onandroid backups. And lots of little changes. Remove bloated apps, etc

Today I have been sitting at work. I compared the LG Nexus 5 to the Galaxy S4 and noticed they were pretty similar. Not same, just alike. Anyway, what I though about is can the S4 be cleaned up and as close to a Nexus as possible? Is there a way to mod this and replace the ROM with something as clean and stock that is NOT SS? I am not one for writing code but I do follow directions pretty well and can mod without bricking my phone. I've started modding back with the Samsung Moment/Transform. So, is this possible? if so, are there any threads? and lastly, what is the difference with android dev and original android dev? the forums kinda changed on me one day and now it has new stuffs.

With the locked bootloader you are out of luck replacing the full OS.
But you will lose some nice features if you could.
I rooted and disabled all the Verizon and Samsung stuff I don't use or need. YMMV on what you want frozen.
I have mine pretty tuned now.
I have the latest version of wallet supporting tap and pay.
Have Xposed framework installed to change behavior.
I don't need vanilla Android.

I am rooted on ME7. I didn't upgrade because i am in the field playing army. anyhoo, what samsung stuff did you freeze? i don't want to freeze something that is required to run. Can i freeze the launcher if i have a replacement already running(touchwiz)?
what did you do to "tune" it?
And it's been awhile since i modded.
I checked the sticky and froze apps from the list people tested. I then picked a few of my own. I'm running xposed and the Wanam module that allows me to change all kinds do of appearance stuff. I also have tethering working. I moved from ME7. In hindsight I would stay there MI1 has more limitations for customization.

That is why I am staying on ME7 until i see a viable root for 4.3. I don't want to risk losing root or the framework either.
as for the sticky, i can't seem to find it in the boards. i wear glasses so I know i'm blind.
Framework works on mj7. You can update without losing root but yes you need to find the thread, there are files and instructions. Also will likely need a como to properly odin no wipe back to a stock system set up.
Find in the general section.

Dang man.....I think I just had a blond moment.
I couldnt remember which device or forum I was in.
Havent tried it.....dont know why....maybe I will.
I think there was another rom from Liwais (sorry, no offense meant) that didnt run well on my phone. Oh well, nothing ventured right. Will have to work on it. Been thinking about bringing the old girl off the shelf. Maybe I will get the wife down too and have her bring me my Note.
Pretty much getting nowhere on the Mega.
What else is out or coming out that is a good device?

Backing up LS now and downloading now. I am still kind of new doing this stuff, but I will give it go.
My quick run down....... Boots quick. Runs very quick. Just a quick play through...
I am on Straight Talk, with the proper APN's I could not get data connection. In Status, it says disconnected.. That might be me not really knowing a whole lot or work arounds, but APN is correct. I could not get the "Nitro Settings" in Settings, Advanced, to show as usable toggles, they just stay dim. Except "SDCARD, that works. The browser FC's instantly. Home button doesn't do anything. SMS, MMS, work on wifi. I had to change from transparent status bar to black/gray to see the status bar.
I cant get the screen to lock, even trying Pin. This rom seems awesome and sliding from Left to Right from home screen has some cool features.
Just to reiterate, by no means am I complaining, just trying to help out. I dont have half the knowledge to build these things and I do appreciate all the work you guys do for hundreds of people you will never meet. Thank you again and have a great weekend. I am going back to LS for now, but would love to try this again soon.

Never heard of lewa. What phone does it come on? Is this like an "miui" kind of system? Might be interested in trying. Just need a little more information, and not at the moment. Birthday weekend and all I'm pretty busy. Maybe Monday though

I'll have to take a look at that rom. I'm with capt in temp. confusion. I was about to say our mega isn't bootloader unlocked. lol..... And I am blonde- I have an excuse!! Will dig out the old Note and see what I can do.
As far as getting data flowing, you need to take into account not just the apn, but the modem you are on and the android version you are on too.
It's been a while GT since I played with modems on this Note. Since I went back to Att, I switched back to one of the original Att modems. I am on one of the new kitkat roms I think.
It's based on ICS, 4.1.2 so the new lte modems that came out the last year or so may not work well. Att's original modem when this phone was released had lte working, at least for the pseudo lte. If you are running on ST with Att that might work better. If ST is on tmobile sim, you might have to install a modem made for t-mobile/adapted for the att Note.
You. .

you have forgotten more about modems than most people can learn
Not sure if this helps any, and I should of included it, since you mentioned modem. It was UCMD3 and I used TWRP 2.6.1.0. I chose that recovery because it is what I used on the other 4.1.2 Roms.
Again, sorry for all the negative feedback. I felt awful reporting it. I have spent the last day wondering I'd I was going to get blasted or not. Being kind of..... Not knowledgeable in this field... I was apprehensive to report anything. Hopefully its a stupid mistake I made. Thank you all for your time and patience you take putting these together for the masses.
