Ugh, I don't want that, Facebook always screws up my contacts when it was working, I always made a point to disable that sync whenever I had installed facebook. If it wasn't for the GPS also being disabled in privacyguard (ie: I wish you could independantly disable or enable GPS from the rest of the options in privacy guard), I would be using privacy gaurd with facebook.

The only thing that keeps my contact list sync'd is google, keep it nice and tidy.

---------- Post added at 09:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 AM ----------

Facebook works fine, it's just a privacy/permission issue to let it modify your phone's contact list. Which in the past whenever I used it always messed it up. Also this is the same company that started trying to auto-update itself outside of the Play store til google put a stop to it by requiring all apps in the play store to ONLY update thru the play store. (I noticed this in the past, and I wouldn't update the app outside of the play store cuz then it means they could dictate their own permissions outside of the play store policy).

I don't think any rom for the most part should pre-include something like facebook, if you want it you can install it from the play store, less hassle that way.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mor_1228:
fb is working but contact sync is not showing because we need to modify contact database and apk which slim developers can do.

if we work cleverly then facebook doesnt screw contacts instead it helps me in getting contact with my friends and i dont have to ask for their numbers.

i sync with option : sync only those who are in contact

if u sync all then it can be a mess. but still in the end u have option to display desirable group of contacts.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kbeezie:
If the contacts are already in contact... then there's no need to sync it. Also Facebook has a nasty habit of replacing your existing information with only the FB information, for example if you have a valid email for a contact, and facebook sync's that contact, there's a good chance the email you already had for them, get changed to their [MENTION=509454]facebook[/MENTION] style email, or phone numbers you previously had with them changed to whatever different number was on facebook.

I prefer to keep in touch with my facebook contacts, via facebook. Anywho who I deem important enough to contact outside of facebook already has a place in my contact list with their contact information.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mor_1228:
i never faced this issue in my case it adds the email but never replaces it.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
So your saying you can't see this?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kbeezie:
I have the same thing on my screen so I'm not sure what the issue is (other than maybe it's not 'working'?)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mor_1228:
No no i can see this. Let me post a screenshot then u will Get what I am trying to say. I am taking about this
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Then let FB fix it. Like I said not being attached to the rom
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mor_1228:
Its not fb problem man its a rom feature. U try carbon rom and u will get this feature by default with same Facebook app.

Hope u got my point this time.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kbeezie:
Looks App-Related to me rather than Rom related.

The person doesn't have source se can't just replace contacts provider, you shouldn't either. Tell the dude to provide source.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kbeezie:

Hi,

In the 7.5 changelog, what is "USB: gadget: mass_storage added sysfs entry for cdrom to LUNs" ?

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kbeezie:
What he said, Slim is built on "open source".

---------- Post added at 10:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ----------

From CM's source (same explanation basically).

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] el_liberator:
I compile myself the SlimBean from sources, and I added the Halo ;)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] niano_ys:
Ah ah ah, I understood absolutely nothing :)

I'm sure it doesn't concern me.

Thanks for your help.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
The link you provided just offers zips with "fix". However its just a contacts provider apk. I'm fairly certain that apk isn't PG compatible. Furthermore that's dangerous just adding random apk that handles syncing of my contacts. So unless I see source code for the fix nothing I can do.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kbeezie:
By the way what's "PG" ?

And I agree with you as well, I'm not installing a random system apk that essentially controls my contacts, let alone other stuff.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Privacy Guard
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kbeezie:
Ahh right, as the apk wasn't written with it in mind, apps requesting contact info would just bypass PG right to the contact app.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kbeezie:
Appears to be a problem with the youtube provided in the 7/16 SlimGapp (as reported by someone in #SlimUsers also with a Nexus4, another user with a Droid RAZR MAXX HD could not reproduce the problem on 7.5-Weekly, just us two Nexus 4 users.).

Decided to try it out since I normally don't use youtube on my phone.

Steps to Reproduce:

Clear Data/Cache from Settings-> App for Youtube

Open Youtube (Select account if needed).

If it doesn't free upon that, select "what to watch"

Ususually on what to watch it'll say an error has occured, and if you continue to a video such as on subscription you'll just get the continuous loading circle until the app stops responding.

Attached is my logcat, in this instance I cleared data/cache, opened youtube, selected my account, and it just kept loading and loading until the app froze.

7.5-Weekly

no custom kernel

mehve should be in shortly to attach his logcat as well.

Edit mehve doesn't have enough post counts so I'm attaching his info as a zip.

Hi, does it work slimport on this rom?!?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Thanks I'll take a look at it in a bit when I'm on a pc.

I don't have the hardware to test, don't think anyone on the team does afaik.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kbeezie:
Not Device Specific but I'm curious.

http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/all/viewcategory/390-mako

Why are all the hashes only SHA1? How do you even check SHA1 on android without the use of a dedicated application, and why can't all the files be listed with their md5 checksum like every other android/etc related file listing (goo.im, xda attachments, etc) since you can easily just md5/md5sum [filename] on android and many other *nix systems.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
Our sever admin is a fan of SHA1. He says it's more modern.

I really don't want to argue with him about such things :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kurtyyyyyy:
Finally found the perfect rom for me. Thanks very much for your work!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] efan3719:
There are sha1 checkers just like md5 checkers. Some have both in one.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kbeezie:
Course as stated, you can just do md5 from the command line, don't see the praticality to needing an app or special application for it.

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 PM ----------

More modern? The same server admin that's using path_info instead of request_uri for the website that's not mobile friendly?

md5 is just more pratical and used just about everywhere. Anywho was curious why wasn't using a standard hash that everyone is used to by now.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
Feel free to contact him :)

http://slimroms.net/index.php/contact/14-tortureduck
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] dorqus:
sha1sum works from the CLI much like md5/md5sum, not sure what the big deal is. *shrug*
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] .A.J.:
If you happen to use ES File Explorer, it gives the option to calculate the checksum as either MD5 or SHA1.

Select file, More, Properties, Show checksum, Choose MD5 or SHA1, Calculate. Enjoy.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kbeezie:
Least I always have ES on hand as my prefered file explorer (much like how I always have QuickPic on hand). Guess I'm just not seeing why it's better to have SHA1 on the site versus MD5 which is just more pratical. Anywho was a question, and I got the answer at least of the web developer that maintains it, just don't neccessarily agree with it.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
I believe the reason was sha1 generates faster. Considering how much on our site gets sha1 generated that's actually a big deal. Also you can do sha1sum on terminal just the same so what's the problem o_O? Google uses
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kbeezie:
If so I wouldn't have bought it up, there is no 'sha', 'sha1', or 'openssl' on android/slimbean, but sha1sum didn't show up in google (odd considering that it's not md5sum on android but rather md5, but in this case sha1 doesn't work, but there's sha1sum).

to clarify, I didn't know there was a sha1sum on android since there wasn't an md5sum, and google only popped up references to openssl sha1 for me.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
No worries, but it does work ;). Again you can speak to tortureduck about it, he will know more on it than us :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kbeezie:
I don't feel like pissing him off today, I already ruffled his feathers on IRC.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] .A.J.:
I understand. Honestly, I had never heard of SHA1 before switching to the SlimBean ROM. Lucky for me, I also happen to prefer ES File Explorer. As long as I have a convenient way to verify the files, I don't care what method is used.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] dorqus:
There is all of md5, md5sum, and sha1sum in my slimrom, build 7.2 weekly:

shell@android:/ $ uname -a
Linux localhost 3.4.52-Slim_Mako_3.5.0+ #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jul 14 06:38:18 CEST 2013 armv7l GNU/Linux
shell@android:/ $ which md5
/system/bin/md5
shell@android:/ $ which md5sum
/system/xbin/md5sum
shell@android:/ $ which sha1sum
/system/xbin/sha1sum
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kbeezie:
Yea I know SHA, mainly for SSL and SSH, more secure of a hash, but has little advantage over the other for checksum comparison. I just didn't know what the command was on android. Wonder why they did that anyways, they don't have md5sum, but they got md5, but they don't have sha1, but they have sha1sum. Probably just to annoy anyone coming from Linux (or in my case FreeBSD).

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 PM ----------

prior to slim, I didn't have md5sum on most of the ICS roms I was using.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ShinnAsuka:
I have a question in regards to the battery light function for the notification light. For some reason the LED turns green once the battery hits 90% which is not fully charged...

Is this normal?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] .A.J.:
Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that is the stock setting for the N4. My brother never unlocked or rooted his N4 and I'm pretty sure that's what his does. I used Light Flow to change that on mine but haven't set up Light Flow since I switched from stock-rooted to SlimBean.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] android88:
Yes that's normal. You can change that though in the battery light options (settings>interface>display).
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ShinnAsuka:
Yeah I know I can modify the color and stuff, but I was trying to find out where you can change the property on charging events. I'm sure there is a file in the Android FS that handles charging events, and somewhere in there is probably something like:

fullyCharged = 90%

Or something like that... Any ideas on where to find such a line of code? Or should I just suck it up and deal with it haha :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kbeezie:
It's normal. Seems to considered 'charged' above 90% though I can understand the wording being confusing when the green LED light status text is "When Fully Charged".

---------- Post added at 06:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------

Speaking of which, I wonder how hard it would be to change the interface menu to be able to tell what % the battery is considered "low" and at what % the green should show (though not exactly a 'needed' feature).
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] efan3719:
That would be a really cool feature and something I would use.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] met4ller:
I m sure that somebody tried slimport on this rom... Work or not?!?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Beerad875:

Very happy with this rom after 2 days use. Cant find any faults.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Beerad875:
What are the requirements?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
It has to become stable.

It has to be optional.

And it can't affect the performance.

And probably some in deep stuff which I'm missing.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] :
Hey guys,

Great rom, many thks :)

Is there a way to remove the "kill all" apps button in recent menu "window" ?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Beerad875:
Dang. So slims pretty heavy with requirements.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
Don't think so no.

Aye, merging features like idiots doesn't help anyone. It only makes the ROM buggy.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] szucsgf:
And that is why Slim is the high quality rom it is. Awesome job.

Is there a way to make it work or maybe, is it possible to implement the functionnality to change colors for status bar icons (Wifi and Network, for example) ?

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] MaluNoPeleke:
I thought the new build 3.69 would be lab as stable, it can be optional and I haven't heard of performance problems with it.

Would be great to see in this ROM!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
Not PA has to label it as stable we have to :).

About the performance keep in mind that we also have devices like the Nexus S which need to run our features as well.

And even the Nexus 4 profits when we look at the performance costs of features.

Beside all that things come when they come.

Now let's stop the Halo talk we already had this a couple of times you can be sure that we have an eye on.

This is a long shot, but is anyone else having trouble accessing CIFS/SMB shares under Build 7.5? Last night I wanted to watch some downloaded TV from my file server, so I fired up ES File Explorer as usual and to my surprise it couldn't connect to my server. Just went to bed, thinking it was a one-off glitch, but this afternoon I've been trying to access them from both my N4 and N7, with ES and File Manager HD, and they just refuse to connect. Worked fine before, nothing's changed on my network, rebooted router, rebooted server...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Larrondo:
About a week on this Rom

I hope this is appropriate and/or interesting but I thought I might give the reasons why I switched and some impressions.

Slim is my second Rom. First I was on Purity and the Purified Kernel (modified Franco) and was happy with battery life and performance but after a few weeks found that I wanted a bit more customization. There were just things that annoyed me-- why can't I have more than three buttons in PIE? How about a few more lockring targets? DPI settings? Not great needs but things I felt it would be nice to have.

I wanted a ROM with good battery life and the idea of a lightweight, non-bloated system was appealing. I wanted one where the community seemed friendly and I preferred a ROM whose team was more than just one guy, so there was less chance of it being abandoned or neglected. The possibility of OTA updates were a definite plus since there may come a day when I don't want to be perusing the XDA forums on a daily basis (hard to imagine, but it could happen!) Slim seemed to fit my criteria.

Maybe if I had Halo I would love it, but honestly it doesn't look like something I need. I watched the videos and I know lots of people are enthusiastic, but I can't see myself using it very much. (Kinda like PIE-- it's cool, but isn't life easier with buttons?) Another thing that wasn't a factor in my decision was the Dark Slim theme. I like the extra contrast on stuff that is already dark in Android, but small white text on black has always hurt my eyes, so I can't stand it in Calendar and Email and that sort of thing. Since it's all or nothing, I keep it turned off. I suppose I might be able to use the Gapps from a different ROM but I wasn't sure if I would be missing out on other benefits of using the Slim Gapps so I didn't bother.

Overall I'm very happy. I just discovered how to use the groovy, all-white lockscreen targets, and they look great. I love that kind of detail.

I've found battery life to be a tiny bit less than I was getting, but I'm traveling right now so I'm not on the same Wifi network or near the same cell towers and my usage pattern might be slightly different. When I get back to NY I'll know.

I don't know how anyone can stand being a crack-flasher. Although it's kinda fun, I get tired of re-doing the settings.

BTW-- is there a place I can read about the Slim Kernel? I couldn't find much information. Do you guys think it rivals Matrix and Franco and those guys for battery life? I don't care about messing with sound or colors or other bells and whistles.

Again, thanks to the Slim team and contributors. I'm still pretty new to Andoid and I think it's amazing that there is such a vibrant community doing such hard work. So thanks. I'm very happy with your fine ROM.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] raz123:
Again, great work Slim Team.

Two feature suggestions, if I may:

1. A way to clear data usage stats.

2. An option to disable "location sharing" when the screen is off. This would, I think, prevent some battery drain and reinforce privacy for some.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] bleuwave:
I agree. The slim dark toggle should be in the interface settings under Display or General.

Just had my phone stolen, and I'd like to make a feature request:

1. Option to disable the power menu on the lock screen.

2. Option to disable long pressing the power button for forced off on the lock screen.

I put my phone down for a min at a bar, and it was gone. I immediately tried locating it with my recovery app, but the phone was already off or in airplane mode. Calls go straight to voice mail. If the thief couldn't disable my phone, I'd have a video of him and his location, and then I might be able to recover my phone. I'm pretty bummed out...
