@ playstore.....tomorrow stable build.8 will roll out with new gapps and new playstore

for the one who want to try:

We push today for the devices which are ready alpha3 version. From now on we will switch to our weekly release cycle due that we are now on a in our opinion stable base where we can now slow a bit down and figure the last issues out and bring up our other devices.

As well all gapps are now prepared for 4.3 you will find in the link bellow. AIO aroma will follow next days.

For all who already installed alpha builds before.....please do a full wipe with this one and install the new gapps. After that each new release should not need a wipe any more. Please note as well that we can only accept bugreports from the last alpha version.

NOTE: never use 4.2.2 gapps on 4.3 or 4.3 gapps on 4.2.2 ;)

Known bugs:

- QS layout text is missaligned

- Templerun2 crashes

Grouper:

if you run into a bootloop reboot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik....after that all is fine

Changes from last alpha

- fixed keyboard swipe

- fixed lockscreen settings fc

- some optimizations

- tuna kernel update (leankernel)

- screen tearing mako fixed + kernel update

- and a lot more

Nice bootloop on nexus 7 ;)

Wow slimbean on 4.3! Time for moving from 4.2 to 4.3. Will report after some days

Thanks dev :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] -Johannes-:
You don't have to try, I causes a bootloop.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nimbold:
Uh :(

Did you try full wipe? Or flashing inside zip kernel?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] -Johannes-:
I did a fullwipe, will try another kernel now.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Nebucatnetzer:
Come on guys read the instructions before you flash something...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nimbold:
I almost forgot reading admin post to the end. Wiping cache and dalvik after flashing ROM is missed point.

Btw i'm downloading it right now.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] -Johannes-:
Are you serious? I did it like they said. Try your self and if it boots for you then you can say that I did something wrong.

I'm not a beginner on flashing!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Nebucatnetzer:
Then try wiping all caches and fixing permissions. I'm quite sure that the alpha3 boots because 2.1 did as well and AFAIK we didn't change something which could make it boot.

The bootloop bug is still the same as the one in build 8 since we unfortunately haven't found the solution yet.

Your post didn't say what you've tried to do. So I went with the most logical assumption.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nimbold:
No mean to offence pal. I'm noob and just thought you might do something wrong like every one does sometimes!

Sorry for off-topic

All not working stucking Here now...

---------- Post added at 03:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

Yeah, wiped cache and dalvik again 2 times after stucking on "android is upgrading" it's finally working !!

Smooth like hell, root access is broken but I just fixed by flashing su update zip. Before you don't flash su zip, things like DPI changing will not work.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] annoyingduck:
Downloading now. Those that can't achieve boot after wiping caches on initial bootloop....are you on the current 4.23 bootloader? 4.3 may require it.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Nebucatnetzer:
To get root working you only have to change "root access" under the dev options to "adb and apps".
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nimbold:
ok here's what i did:

- Factory reset

- Flash Slimbean 4.3 and Gapps

- Flash Franco kernel

- wipe cache and dalvik

and it boots without problem.

btw i'm on 4.23 bootloader
[Nexus 7 Original Development] k4bbe:
I dirty flashed over 7.8 and no issues to report at all. Boots fine, running fine, didn't wipe caches at all.

If it starts misbehaving I'll full wipe but for now, its all good.

Thanks Slim team.

:thumbup::cool:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ScumDroid:
Booted fine for me. I wiped caches before first boot though.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Lar5:
Clean install of alpha 3 + AIO. After three unsuccessful startups (+ wipe dalvik) the fourth worked.

The QS layout won't keep the buttons it i change the default configuration.

Reboot disappeared and could only be found to after choosing default configuration.

Not a big problem for and alpha release. Great work :good:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] annoyingduck:
Ok, here's what I've got so far with alpha 4.3: Initial clean flash + first boot requires rebooting into recovery from bootloop, wiping caches, reboot (same thing I found to work for build 7.8 and what nebucatnetzer stated a few pages ago for those that are blind!). I have since flashed the same rom several times while replicating a bug to take logcats, and noticed that on subsequent clean flashes the bootloop would still occur, but only a hard reset was required to achieve boot (no recovery + cache wipe)...interesting...

Next issue: changing LCD density to stock value does not work and causes a lockscreen SOD upon reboot from LCD change. So basically after the LCD change/reboot, when the lockscreen appears and the device times out (not unlocking into lockscreen) the device enters a black screen SOD that is unrecoverable without a hard reset (my cat log will show several attempts to wake the screen via the power button). In order to avoid the SOD you must unlock the device immediately to the homescreen. Once on the homescreen, its clear that the LCD change had no effect, even though in the settings menu it clearly states that it is set to 213dpi...

The built in Slim bug report is also not working, which is why I went old school with several flashes/multiple adb log cats provided here. That's it so far for "big" items. The other cosmetic issues I wont even bother with.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] efan3719:
exact same thing happened here. i fully reverted to stock 4.3 via fastboot flashing of the factory images. then got CWM recovery on there. Flashed Slim Alpha, AIO, faux kernel, wiped caches. first boot didnt work. reboot, wipe caches. second boot got stuck as yours did. reboot, wipe caches again. third boot got through.

But i dont care. it's well worth the hassle IMO. Happy to be running Slim again.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] s0ulreaver:
+1

same here, the exact same issues.

I did clean flash from TWRP.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] efan3719:
on alpha 4.3 and i can't get any scripts to work. running faux kernel. tried used OBackup and Nandroid Manager as well a few other things and the scripts wont work that they try to use. tried fixing permissions. is it the kernel or something in the ROM?

tried to run the onandroid script from terminal with SU and it can't acquire root permissions. the script that is, the terminal emulator gets root permissions fine.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] coolek33:
Get root access to adb and apps in dev settings and then try to change density.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] aliesky:
I come from Stock ROM 4.2.2. Before flash Build 7(format: system, cache, dalvik, data), after flash the rom(format: cache, dalvik, data) and fix permissions, then no boot, I'm stuck in the boot animation :(

Any idea how to fix it?

I used CWM.

Google Search FC?

A couple of weeks ago Google Search stopped working for me. The program opens ok and response to voice prompt but as soon is it quits listening or you quit entering the search term, it immediately force closes with the message "Unfortunately, Google Search has stopped." I was waiting for the most recent update to see if that would fix it but it hasn't. I just dirty flashed version 8 and gapps and the problem persists. I have also wiped cache, davlik cache, and the app's data but that hasn't solved the problem.

Any other suggestions other than doing a completely fresh install?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Nebucatnetzer:
Only thing left would be to flash the Google Now addon.

Of that doesn't help: http://slimroms.net/index.php/bugs/reporting-bugs
[Nexus 7 Original Development] s0ulreaver:
I was wondering if the issues I'm having flashing the latest builds might be related to me using TWRP but you just answered my question.

I was coming from CM10.1, using the latest TWRP, tried flashing build 8.

Did the same thing as you (format: system, cache, dalvik, data) and I got stuck with the boot animation.

Went into recovery, cleared dalvik and cache and at the next reboot I got stuck at the 'Starting Apps' screen.

I did another full wipe, installed Slim-grouper-4.2.2.build.6-OFFICIAL.zip which booted just fine.

Went into recovery, cleared dalvik and cache then dirty flashed build 8.

Guess what? All is fine now.

What could make such a difference between build 6 and 7 and 8?

Cheers!

Glad to see the option to set notifications to always expand made it into 8.0. Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] malte41:
FYI: since version 6 I have bootloops after install....allways.

Fix: boot into recovery... choose shut down! Start again....working. it sounds simple and it is....but it takes several installs to understand it. If there is a way to help the slimbean team with this prob just let me know.

btw. Ordered my n7 on the first day...so I assume it is the first batch of devices released (maybe some1 need this info)

I have two devices with slimbean (one x and n7) only the n7 had this problem.

Nevertheless I never would switch to another rom. Slimbean rules! Thx to all slim developers....you guys did a great work.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Nebucatnetzer:
Do you have a lockscreen?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mslatter:
Alpha worked fine all week and 4.3 beta today is working great so far. Bootlooped after initial install, but hard reset into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, then a reboot fixed it. Post reboots are fine too. I am too scared to turn lock screen off though... Lol. Thanks Slim devs!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ferparedes:
For me removing google search (using slimota look for quicksearchsomethingsomething) and then installing google search from market fixed this.

Slimbean rules !

I like Slimbean so much on my new 2013 N7. So I have to have it on my 2012 N7 too.

I would love to have Slimbean on my Nook HD+ too, but it's not officially supported. There is an unofficial port, but

the Dev is quite busy with other things. I hope he would have some time for it.

Again: wrong thread, should be in Slimbean JB4.3 ....
[Nexus 7 Original Development] eduardo_b:
Love build 8, but not on N7. This is first Slim build that hangs at boot animation. Only device of five with this issue. If I boot into recovery and wipe dalvik, it boots fine. What's that about? Reflashing fixes nothing. No other builds have this issue. :confused:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] efan3719:
If I understand correctly, that is a known issue and is present even in the 4.3 betas. I have no ideas as to why it happens and not everyone has this problem but clearing cache and dalvik is the suggested fix from the slim team at the moment. Anything beyond that and you'd have to ask one of them.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Nebucatnetzer:
And neither do we unfortunately.

The logcats don't show anything useful. We're a bit out of ideas atm.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] eduardo_b:
Odd that if I wipe cache and dalvik and fix permissions or simply wipe dalvik alone, the device then boots fine. How about a boot script that wipes dalvik on start. Is that possible? I have to live with restarting all the apps either way.

I have a Tab2 7 also with build 8 that works flawlessly, so that is the tablet I use most now.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Nebucatnetzer:
Fix permission is not necessary. Wiping caches is enough.

And that script would only be a workaround and not a fix. So not really not an option for us.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] eduardo_b:
What's interesting is that while I have to boot into recovery and clear caches when hard booting, the device soft boots just fine. I'm surprised the caches wouldn't be an issue either way.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mslatter:
4.4 alpha went up yesterday and I had to try it....just briefly. It's definitely just alpha, but the boot process had no issues! Excited about what's to come on this amazing ROM..... :cool:

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Nebucatnetzer:
It's because we use the same OP for all devices.

Since that link doesn't work I can only assume that we don't use a special kernel for grouper.

Means it's just the standard AOSP kernel with some modifications.

Know where I can find it? Or should I just use an app to back it up?

The easiest way to restore it, is to reflash the ROM.

The other option is to extract the boot.img from the zip and flash it with fastboot.

Same here. Wiped dalvik and regular cache. Flash rc1 and re flash gapps. A 15 second operation to update and no problems to report. Stable as before.

Was going back and forth with leankernel and Francos. Switched to motley yesterday and everything is so much faster. Over half the apps feel like they launch instantly. No lag. Browser at Google screen as I lift my finger from touching the app. Crazy.

Re: [ROM][4.2.1]SlimBean -grouper- RC1 [18/01/13]

Too subjective a topic for any one person to answer. Far too many variables... usage/charging patterns, different kernels, screen brightness settings, installed apps etc etc. I'm afraid you will have try it out and decide if it's battery performance satisfies your needs. It's a great rom is the only answer I can give. I doubt you will be disappointed.

Make sure you install the Inverted add ons. Not only do they look cool but they will help in saving the precious millivolts :D

Wrong coz n7 has an lcd, lcds use more power to display dark colours. Amoleds instead use more power to display light colours. Anyway it's such a small quantity that we shouldn't really care about...

Yes the difference is negligible, sometimes not even present, but it's certainly not true that a dark background consumes less on a lcd

I'm not concerned about saving millivolts, our fellow xda member who I replied to is, so perhaps he will find your comments useful. I use the phone/tablet without giving battery savings a second thought. Not important to me at all :D

i know its not working with a31 kernel, can't test the a32 kernel now, with SlimBean!

could you take a look at this and maybe implement it in the next release?

many many thanks!

[Nexus 7 Original Development] ferparedes:
Simple answer is: It's pretty good.

Not so simple: Well, compared to what? Compared to stock, it's a bit better, in my experience. I use it mostly for work (email, taking notes on evernote, wifi ALWAYS on, web browsing and occasionally I'll watch a movie on netflix or the usual digital copy that comes with some Blu Ray discs).

Your mileage will vary but you will see that you'll be satisfied.

Some of my own usage examples:

Yesterday I used it for like 4 hrs straight (occasionally turning it off for bio breaks) while watching the NFL games. The battery went down by about 30%.

Rading on the kindle with sepia background for 3 hrs ate about 20%.

Playing a game (Bard's tale or one of the gazillion racing games on the store) for 2 hrs ate about 40%.

I could leave it on standby for 2 straight days and still have 80% battery left, easy. Some days even up to 90%, dunno what it will depend on.

Hope this helps.

---------- Post added at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ----------

I second that. It's only relevant if the battery barely makes it through the day. But when it can easily do that (like it's the case with N7), considering that at night you plug it in, then it's a non-issue.

I'm a lot more interested in smoothness and being bug free.

Settings screen's overlay?

Ive found that some of the sub-screens in settings "overlay" on top of their parent screens - rendering both unreadable. If you take a guess - the options are still selected OK - its just that they aren't drawing correctly.
