[Epic 4G Android Development] Senater_Cache:
I just switched to v4 of this Rom from PACman / CWM

I am having a really odd issue. My screen turn yellow/green at the boot-logo (the cyanogen guy with the text around it)

The logo is normal for a sec and then everything turns yellwo green

I am not on NS4G modem.

Help!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
When you switched, did you follow the cardinal rules for ethical and clean flashing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] justan00b:
I saw your post and was wondering the same thing, searched the thread and didn't find an answer so I just figured it out... maybe you figured it out eventually too, but if not...

1) Yes, yes you can. Check Settings ->Interface -> Notification drawer -> Quick Panel settings -> Uncheck "Quick Settings" to disable the JB style ones.... then hit back button to go back to the Notification drawer settings, and click "Power Widget" and enable this. Then click Widget buttons and Widget button order to add/rearrange what you want.

2) I couldn't figure out how to get the search button working, but what I did was change the menu key (long press) to search, and changed the back key (long press) to kill app. There is no option for a hardware key for "Search", so I guess you can't configure that. So, instead I just hold down the menu key to act as the search button, somewhat annoying but not a big deal considering Samsung abandoned us with Gingerbread and this ROM is awesome and free (thank you OP for porting it btw)... You can configure this by going to Settings - > interface -> hardware keys

3) Haptic feedback is working for my capacitive buttons, under Sound -> Enable "Vibrate on Touch", unless you're talking about something else? As far as an intensity slider, I guess you can't configure that, maybe somewhere under the hood you can..

Now, here is my question: I plugged up my phone to the charger and went to bed last night, woke up around 9am and hit unlock button on my phone, for some reason the time on the lock screen as well as in the status bar (next to signal status, etc) was frozen at like 1:34 or something. I ended up going to date and time and unchecking/rechecking automatic date & time to get it to update and fix itself.... anyone else had this issue? I'll try searching the thread.. Would if I had an alarm set to 7am or something and missed it.

Other than that, I think I really like the ROM. I've been on modded GB roms forever, SleeperROM, The People's ROM, etc and I've tried CM9 and CM10 before but just never stuck with them for some small issues or another... besides the clock issue I haven't ran into anything that is going to make me change my mind and go back to GB. Thanks for your hard work Unjustified Dev and the Slim team! :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
I apologize for not seeing the original questions from Insanity. Thank you Justanoob for jumpin in to answer his questions:highfive:

I can't say I've had that issue with the time freezing/not updating. It sounds like something wrong on Sprint's end. Has anyone else had the time freeze on Slim 4.0?
[Epic 4G Android Development] justan00b:
Thanks for your response! :)

Also, do you or anyone else know if there is anyway to view your 4g signal strength? I guess CM9/10 based ROMs combine the data and signal icons, so when I connect to 4G I can't figure out how good my signal is... or is there a third party app to use? I tried a few but they didnt show 4G wimax signal..also tried checking WiMax hidden menu to see if the signal strength can be seen anywhere in there, but couldn't find it. :( ... or if you could seperate the data and cell strength icons, that'd be nice
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
What is this bigmem patch? I'm on 4.0 is it included in the rom its self or do I have to find it and flash it on my own?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
I include it in all my Slim Bean releases so yes it is in Slim 4.0:cool:

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------

No problem, your welcome for the response. My area doesn't have 4g so I can't answer that and I apologize. Have you tried using the app Speedtest from Speedtest.net in the Play Store?
[Epic 4G Android Development] justan00b:
Oh, yeah I can do a speedtest fine and everything to see my actual speed/bandwidth over 4g, just can't see my 4g signal strength, basically just how you can see cell signal strength, it would show that for 4g too in gingerbread, etc... not a big deal though, was just curious!
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Thank you for clarifing what I meant.

Unfortunately I don't know how or where to add or look for the files, I do apologize but I will ask a few people and look into it.

Sorry for the confusion. If you think this Slim 4.0 runs great give Slim 5.0 a try:cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Need some testers for Slim 5. If anyone is willing, download the Slim 5.0 and Slim Gapps in the folder that says Slim 5.0 on my dev host. I've been runnin it since last night and it's smoother then Slim 4.0 but I want to see if there's any bugs at all before we update the OP and make Slim 5.0 official.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
I was about to update it as soon as I seen 5.0 luckily I read the complete post.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Good thing you read the complete post lol. I'm just waiting on some testers, it runs smooth for me but I want to make sure.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Lol what happened on gtalk which kernel do you want to build with. I use the one I got from effsi.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic559:
So the slim gapps where slim 5.0 is for 5.0?just finished downloading both bout to give it a goo...big thanks and congrats on 5.0 :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Had to take care of some things lol my bad. I'd prefer to build with a kernel that has no mdnie and no voodoo color.

Let me know what you like and dislike. If you have trouble with the SlimBean boot animation just remove it, been contemplating on whether or not to remove it from the rom. I changed the default dpi to 213 and added tweaks for smoother transitions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
I''l flash it as soon as I get home for the day. Is the change log in the OP?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dps33:
I can test but I am on Slim 4.0 with Nexus modem. Do you have new kernel for nexus modem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
uh thats exactly that my kernel is... every other kernel has mdnie. I do have voodoo sound in though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
So you are alive :D only hear from you once every two weeks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
nice job on Slim build 5 :cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
So far so good.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dogonit:


+1 nice and smooth!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
Still around and building daily just no time to fix or change stuff yet. Work will likely being laying us off soon so ill be more active then
[Epic 4G Android Development] DoomGaZer:
Hey guys, very nice ROM you have here. After some debate, I put my mom's Epic 4g on this ROM. Her Bluetooth is working extraordinarily well, so kudos. I do have one question though. My mom is telling me the colors are off on her Epic now. She says the screen looks overly dark and some of her photos are grainy. She also has a tablet on Jelly Bean and it doesn't exhibit these color issues. She also tells me the camera on the phone is taking some very crappy pictures now compared to stock. Is there anything you guys know about color and camera issues with this ROM (or any of the JB ROMs)? I would like to get her phone working better than stock so she can keep it for another year or so without needing to upgrade. I apologize if I am gunking up your forum with silly questions. Thanks for your help.

Sent from my Xyboard 8.2
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Unfortunately no change log but slimroms.net homepage has one. I didn't have time to put together a change log, I apologize.

Follow the instructions in the op for links to a nexus modem kernel and instructions. Here is the same kernel i included in my rom but ns4g version http://goo.im/devs/didhiy/sph-d700_cm-10.1/nitest-jb42_nr-twrp-0502.zip

Sounds good, I'll build with yours then if that's ok. The only thing I've noticed is some of the darker colors are washed out. Not bashing, just an observation.

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

Is this with only flashing Slim Bean and Slim Gapps or was anything else flashed? For the camera issues try adjusting the settings in the camera app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
Nitestxfc had voodoo color and no mdnie and had washed out display on some phones. Trak I never heard of an issue with colors.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
About time vanir starting building it was due to aosp incompatibility therefore I merged cm and super nexus projects into it now I have a build going that won't stop this is my fourth time with this ROM. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic559:
Id love a kernel with no mdnie and with voodoo color and sound and ns4g rdy :) still using effsi 0308 nm kernel that's exactly what that is :)would like to see that updated :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Very nice. Besides Trak not having washed out colors what's the difference between Trak and Nitestxfc?

:highfive: At this rate, you're gonna be working for Google soon.

I work all weekend so I will try and get a kernel built this coming week.

---------- Post added at 08:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------

Everything looks like it's there so I'm not sure why 4g signal strength doesn't show up. Does it show on any other JB roms?
[Epic 4G Android Development] justan00b:
Ohh, I'm sorry... yeah might just be a limitation of CM/JB/ICS roms, I havent tried too many but maybe the 4g signal strength is only visible running GB. Sorry about that... how do you like Slim 5? Maybe I need to try it out, I think 4.0 works great! Guess I'll have to look into the differences
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
It sounds like it is a limitation of ICS and JB roms. No worries, it's not your fault lol. Slim 5.0 is my best work yet, the op hasn't been updated to say Slim 5.0 yet cuz I wanted to see if anyone has found bugs but I think it's ready to become official. The only two things I know of that someone mentioned, was bad camera quality (which I think the settings have to be adjusted to ones liking to fix that) and the photos seemed grainy which I believe is from flashing a different kernel other than the one I included. Give it a spin and see how ya like it:fingers-crossed:
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
I'm gonna test 5.0.

I'm gonna dirty flash it and see if all is well and if not then ill wipe everything and install it. Ill be back with feedback.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Thank you in advance for the feedback.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Senater_Cache:
Yes, yes I did!

Wiped everything (3 times even.... old habits)

Re-flashed the rom 3 times. same result....

It changed me over from CWM to TWRP and it turns the screen green/yellow. Unusable!

I Odin'd back to FC09 but want to give this ROM another go. Could it be the kernel?

Any feedback is appreciated
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Sorry to hear your having problems. Did you wipe all four? (cache, dalvik cache, data and system) There is a slight chance it could be the kernel I included but this is the first color issue anyone has reported. Try using Effsi's Trak kernel http://goo.im/devs/effsi/JB/Kernel/TRaK-4.2Em-0417.zip
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
Okay so I dirty flashed it and then gapps right after and everything seems to be working fine. Nothing FC'ed or is missing or isn't working.

The one thing I noticed is the dpi is changed in this version. My phone used to be smaller and now its more closer to the stock look. Ill be back if I notice anything else later. It seems to be running perfectly so far tho.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Thank you for the feedback. Glad to hear all is working well. I changed the default dpi to 213 cuz some said 183 was too small but I didn't wanna go all the way to stock (240).
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
But... Did you factory reset?

Hey man... Do you work customer support for niceguys.com or something? You're always so polite and apologetic! I often times forget I'm @ XDA when I read your responses. This is the innerwebs! Hurl obscenities! Be indignant! Prove you're RIGHT DAMMIT!
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Lol, you're posts always crack me up. I try and be as polite as possible to keep the peace and not come off as offensive, or should I say that's the way I roll damn it so back off:p

How's Slim 5 runnin for ya?
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
Well I put it the way I like lol.

I just tested a bug that I've seen before and its fixed now. Whenever I received a phone call when I was in landscape it always fc'ed the phone app but that's fixed now. I'm gonna keep trying little things that I can remember to see the changes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lcovel:
dirty install,,,

I also did a dirty install and can safely say that I have not found any issues yet. However I do have a question, has anyone tried using the "call block" in the phone settings yet? I gave it a shot once and it didn't seem to work for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
I gotto say, slim 4.0 was beast. Slim 5...not liking it.

-Nova Launcher <<<<< Holo Launcher

-I don't know how this is, but it seems my phone is MUCH less likely to successfully send a text with 5.0.

-Seems slower

And I was so excited too! Oh well. Back to 4.0! I have this bad habit of trying to fix what isn't broken.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
They added Nova Launcher in by default. The texts not sending could be a network issue. That's odd it seems slower cuz the tweaks I added shouldn't have slowed anything down, is this under the same conditions as Slim 4.0?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Nova was my default launcher. I have tried... well, certainly not ALL of them, but a good amount anyway.. Like Nova the best, but that's just me. My experience has been the exact opposite of the earlier gentlemen's. That is, I have found 5 to be much smoother and faster. I'll always be confused as to how that can be when we're all running the same hardware and software!

You put a face on my problem! I couldn't figure out what my phone app (I always laugh that it's an app that makes this device a phone) kept crashing! I never made the connection that it was only happening when my phone was docked... In landscape mode! I wont know if I still have that problem until work tomorrow. I assumed it was a BT issue, which I couldn't see bringing up in here because we all know about it. Thanks for putting a face to it mister!
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
I would suggest-recommend you go ahead and update the OP ... build5 ROCKS ! :cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
I liked the gesture swiping in Holo but Nova seems faster and smoother for me than Holo. There has to be different conditions from person to person to create the different results, how the results can differ so much though when on the same software and hardware confuse me as well:confused:

Sounds like we're ready to make Slim 5.0 official. Unjust when you update the OP, link them to my main dev host page that's in my sig so people can download 4.0 instead of 5.0 if they choose to. In the future you'll have less to update in the OP every time too.

Edit: Never mind on updating the OP to my main dev host page cuz I see you've already done that lol, thank you. If you could take out the Slim Gapps part under the link to my dev host because it takes them to a login page at Slimroms.net and I have the Slim Gapps for 4.0 and 5.0 on my dev host so we just need the one link to my main dev host account.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
New Slim Gapps made for Slim 5.0 download here http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/all/viewdownload/383-addons/2528-slim-gapps-4-2-2-build-5

[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:

Already had it linked to dynamics dev host :laugh:
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
speaking of "official" ... have you contacted them about making us "official" ? ...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:

[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Give BetterBatteryStats a try from the Play Store, here's info on it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809

All though I don't think it tracks what uses data, so if anyone has any suggestions jump in.

Edit: Are you on Slim Bean?
[Epic 4G Android Development] justan00b:
Yep I'm on slimbean, about to upgrade to v5, just downloaded it last night! Thanks for all your hard work, man you're awesome. Like the other guy said on here a few posts back, you're always so helpful, nice, quick to reply. You rock dude! If you lived near me I'd buy you a drink (or two or three)

I've heard of betterbatterystats, didnt even think about it....is that just for battery info though? I mean I don't see those apps I screenshootted in my battery, just in my data usage.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Let me know how Slim 5 runs for ya. No problem, I do this cuz I enjoy it and maybe some day It'll turn into a career. I'll take a cyber beer lol.

If BetterBatteyStats doesn't do what you're lookin for then try this one, it says it has a per app data usage tracker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onavo.android.onavoid

Here's more info on the app I linked above called Onavo Count http://lifehacker.com/5916784/the-best-data-usage-tracker-for-android

Kinda random but I've been getting odd reboots ever so often when I plug in USB to computer and tap "Turn on USB Storage" and it gives the whole "If you blah blah blah, some apps won't blah" followed by boot ani...

Anyone heard/seen this themselves? Not too crucial but odd and time consuming sometimes.

Runnin' v4, NS4G LF2, Effsi's Nitest XFc when this occurs.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Happens to me on my slim my carbon and a few others. Doesn't happen on PAC but sometimes the reboot lets you Mount it sometimes it won't. Most times I have to do it in recovery
[Epic 4G Android Development] boruko:
How do I go about doing that in Recovery? I see "Mount" and I have "Cache" and "SD Card" checked but it's not showing up on PC. I'm completely new to that process... Any help is appreciated.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Sorry man i use twrp but it should be in the main recovery menu>mount> mount usb storage in cwm touch recovery because thats what slim uses if I can remember havent ran it in a while.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffreyjicha:
Which recovery are you using?
[Epic 4G Android Development] justan00b:
V5 seems to be running smooth :cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] boruko:
Slim comes with TWPR... I see what you said unjust, and what I described was in TWPR but I guess the best way to put it is my pc doesn't recognize that it is mounted. Or there's a step I'm not doing (<--- most likely the reason).

So I just lost half my post by "editing"... I'll repost later @.@

EDIT - PC died, lost half my post on the phone, phew all kinds of silly stuff haha No worries here it is:

[MENTION=5054186]DynamicN[/MENTION]: v 5 is boss! I love it even more than 4. I had a few app install issues but they resolved themselves with little problem. One other thing I noticed specifically on v5 is when I added app shortcuts to the lock screen, they overlap the date (Tues 07 May) a bit. I think that's the dpi but I like what it's set to and may/may not change it just for that. And one thing I've seen across all the versions (though it's minute; small) is when typing something in the search in Chrome there is no "auto space" after swyping a word, it just begins right next to the last word. Thought you may want to know that.

Awesome! After so many shut downs on my end, I finally got this up! Thanks so much everyone for your continued efforts to keep our phones boss status. I really do appreciate it, I know I'll get the opportunity to show you gratitude soon!

- b
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
Ya this happens to me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] justan00b:
So far so good, no problems with Slim v5. A few small things...

1) I liked the boot animation a lot better in v4, so I copied it over to my v5 and it works great.

2) Installed google maps, and clicked "speak destination" and it kept force closing, so I installed Google Search/Google now or whatever, and it works fine

3) I seriously just spent like an hour or more trying to figure out how to get the Google now sounding TTS voice on here it, it sounds SOOO much better than PICO TTS android robot sounding voice for turn by turn directions in Navigation, and any other TTS you may be doing. I used the TTS FIX (Google Text to Speech) here and it works awesome http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1791202 -- Maybe you can incorporate this into the ROM for future updates...

Edit1: Weird, it was working great, now the TTS is not working at all! What gives!... Guess I'll have to play around with it..

Edit2: Yep now TTS isn't working at all, it was working great with Google TTS, and I have it installed, but for some reason Navigation just isn't using the TTS service. Maybe someone can give me some advice, if not I'll go back with old school robot sounding PICO TTS...

Edit3 ok got it working again for now, think I had messed it up by installing/using DroidWall and denying TTS internet, dont know why that would matter, I didn't think every time you used TTS it was just pulling it from the internet, but giving it access fixed the problem.. or maybe it was something else. We'll see how long it works for..

**** That's about it I think...so far, so good! Thanks!!! :cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
Wall-o-text. Enter key is your friend, remember that. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
I can't seem to reproduce the app shortcuts overlapping the date on the lock screen but if you change the dpi closer to default (182) it should resolve that. I think it happens because the framework for Slim was designed to look best at 182 default Slim dpi. The issue with it not "auto spacing" in Chrome after swyping a word I have not heard of, does it happen with the stock browser as well?

I personally liked the boot animation I added to version 4 better, but some people had issues with it so for version 5 I left it stock and so far there's been no issues that I know of. I rarely use anything that has to do with TTS but If people want the Google Now sounding TTS I'll add it to my next release. Can a couple people test this zip for the TTS fix http://goo.im/devs/lowrider32119/JB/OPTIONAL/JB-TTS-FIX-LOWRIDER.zip so I know it works for sure.
