[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] skyfox99:
Thank you, I couldn't get it to work with ROOTBOX either for some reason... So I am not sure what is going on. I am going to reflash and start clean and do nothing else besides attempt to do wallet so I can see if it works on just a clean installation. but it's weird because I had it working on ROOTBOX without that other secondary module with no issue, and then I switched over here to check out battery life and now I can't get it to work on either ROM... Oh well, guess another sleepless night for me.

Anywho, non Wallet related question. These are really my first NON-sense ROMs for LTE since the Sense one actually were pretty stable and worked great for me (was running customized stock one) but now it seems they are no really being supported any longer or nothing new so I am jumping ship into the AOSP world which I haven't done since the OG EVO... LONG Story kept long due to boredom at work, are the any other kernels that might be recommended? Or are we good with the one cooked into the ROM?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] v01rider:
Best ever!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] skyfox99:
So I put both modules in, still stuck at failure to initialize. What am I missing?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smokeythebear3:
You're not the only one. I still can't get it working properly either running both patches. I might try going to a sense rom to see if it works. I've never had a problem before with google wallet using xposed installer and just the single modaco wallet patch.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcwups1:
Did you reboot?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] skyfox99:
While I am no programmer, I have flashed a few ROMs before and my Google-Fu is strong within me... So, yes, I did reboot. Anywho... I flashed back to my tweaked custom Sense ROM and Wallet D'Led from the market without a hitch and was able to get it activated right quick (other than the "unsupported device" notification, but that was always there since I rooted and it still works just fine). So it is something within the ROM itself that is not allowing me to get activated. I see there is a link about editing the buildprop in the Modaco XDA post, but it says it's only for Samsung devices... could it be something like that?

Would the Gapps package that I install affect this in any way, because I know there are lots of different Gapps packages. I have in the past just installed the market and then everything else is usually pretty available from the play store if that could be the case.

I really like the look and layout to this ROM and RootBox is nice, but a little too busy for me (plus when I go to NFC a contact the app force closes and I use that frequently).

I have googled to the point my IT department was wondering what I was looking for, so any help would be appreciated as I use the Wallet app 3 to 4 times a week at least.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcwups1:
I don't know what to tell you. I'm using this ROM, and Wallet works fine, and so does NFC.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] skyfox99:
Yeah, just one of those things I suppose. Odd thing is, I switched over to ROOTBOX as a control and was able to get it to work with the Xposed installed and patch with NO issue. Immediately reset Wallet and clean fresh install of Slim and no go.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcwups1:
My apologies skyfox. I'm on rootbox. You aren't crazy. I posted in here thinking it was Mike's rootbox.

Trying to help, but I made it worse I'm afraid.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] skyfox99:
LOL! That's ok. I originally posted the issue in the rootbox thread when I meant to post it here, we are all human:D

Sent knowing my life is boring unless I'm looking down range.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jschill31:
Hello,

What is your dpi set at in both system and apps? The Slim gapps use a dpi hack that could be interfering with the version that gets installed from the market. I don't have my Evo on me to check but try changing your dpi to 320 then follow the steps to clear the market before reinstalling. If you do not need to accept the market again it did not reset. This is one of the first things I do with Slim and I build it for 3 different dpi devices and never have issues.

What up Mike

Just an idea

Cheers
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
I honestly don't know but it sounds like a good plan to me, haha. I haven't used wallet in a long time but I'll try to do some tests later this week and see if I can get it working. I'm with you though, I switch back to the 320dpi when I flash it generally, call me old fashioned :-/

Cheers,

Mike

P.S. Here is a new build with only some small changes if anyone is interested. It has the data fixes that were merged, a bash fix for the prompt, and Focal compiled in from CM 10.2 (this app is in beta and not everything works, I included it just to see the progress mostly). If you wanna use it, enjoy! http://d-h.st/F5q

Wierdnesses

Just a few items that have been going bonkers the last few days. Running 8.0:

hiccups in audio playback from Winamp, even in airplane mode, (ie notifications aren't causing it)

phone reboots sometimes when I plug into usb and turn on storage (both mac and pc)

can't figure out how to get headset buttons working to answer calls and pause/advance audio
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] skyfox99:
I attempted this on a clean install and still received the same error of not fully initialized. Appreciate the help. I will try the new version at if that one has the same issue. I have tried two other CM or AOSP ROMs and was able to get it to work.

*edit*

I also tried different gapps package as well with slim and no success either if that helps.

Soft Key Issues

Hi guys,

After doing some searching around this thread and the rest of the threads for the jewel, I haven't found any info so I thought I'd ask here...

Has anyone experienced any issues with deteriorating softkeys? It seems like every time a new ROM is flashed, the softkey responses get more and more muddled. I'm not sure if this is a ROM / driver issue or perhaps a hardware issue but if anyone has had any experience with this problem and a possible solution I'd really appreciate hearing about it.

As always OP, great work keeping the jewel supported for Slimbean!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zacnking:
Digging the working focal man can't wait for 4.3 you rock bro!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] skyfox99:
So I'm thinking the wallet issue has something to do with the app connecting to the server out something. It seems it won't connect to verify the app is initialized? Like when itb goes to check for network support?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] brianf80:
phone slow to wake up

Anyone elses phone get slow to wake up or sleep? Hitting the power button makes the bottom hardkeys light up but the phone takes 5+ secs to turn the screen on. Seems to get worse after the phones been on awhile.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] youdug:
Everyone is having slow wake issues right now. Theyre working on it. I think you might be exaggerating with 5 seconds. If youre not you might want to reflash the rom.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] brianf80:
Good to know, thanks! And yeah it was closer to 3 seconds. :) Actually I just had to hard power it off and on this time. It's a 3 day old clean flash too. Was fine until the last day or so.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chrisctb:
Snapchat won't take pictures on this ROM. Any idea for a fix?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
Newest version of Snapchat has issues. Revert back to an older version and try again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chrisctb:
It did it before the update I got today.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
The past two updates have been extremely buggy. Today's update just made it worse.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] vormund:
Thanks again for this post...it had been driving me crazy as I thought I was the only one... :)

Is there any info on this (workarounds, causes etc) that you know of? I had a similar issue with a recent nightly of CM so I'm guessing it's related... curiosity anyway!

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Yes. It's related.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
Mike or any other concerning prospect,

Whats the best way to update the prl on this ROM w/o flashing another ROM. Its just a pain to flash another ROM as I am still s-on and everything I've tried to s-off does not work. Just concern about updating the prl.

Thanks in advance.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JManekia:
You can't update PRL on an aosp-based ROM. You need to flash a sense-based ROM to update PRL.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdmsohc22:
Does this rom still have that RIL issue, with data disconnects and such..? Has any progress been made towards fixing that issue..?? That's the only thing keepin me off this rom, I'll go like an hour with no data connection =/ thanks..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
Data works just fine. No data drops.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
Love this ROM. Have been running since I received this device. Completely stable. No issues anywhere. Everyone comments on how nice my device runs.

Thank you for everything you do...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] APDRJRD:
I don't know if development has stopped or not since mikshepard hasn't been around, but I haven't been able to maintain a GPS lock with Slimbean despite everything else working fine. I can get a lock, but it drops about every five minutes and takes too long to reestablish a lock to be useful for navigation. Redownload and reflashed, but that didn't help, I have to flash back to a sense based ROM to actually use navigation.

I could just have a buggy device though since others have reported no issues.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] vormund:
I had the same GPS issues with all AOSP ROMs that I tried... no idea what the ultimate cause was/is, but after tons of searching, somewhere had this tip posted that worked for me:

-On a ROM where the GPS locks fine, get a lock (eg open Maps and make sure you have the satellites).

-Reboot into recovery *while* you have that GPS lock using the power button/volume combo.

-Now flash your ROM... I believe even a restore worked at this point...

Hopefully that helps. I would love to know what the root problem is there (or why the above would make a difference)... since learning this... whenever I flash to AOSP I use this 'trick' and haven't had an issue.

Good luck!

Slimbean 4.3

Finally, after 3 weeks and about 30 failed compiles (about 3.5 hours per compile), I finally have a working 4.3 slimbean build for you all. Slimbean 4.3 is on beta 4 currently and I will not being putting these beta builds on the OP until the SlimBean sources reach stable. However, I'll put what I compile in the posts here for anyone wanting to flash them in the meantime. I've been running this version all day and I'm pretty happy with it so far :)

The goods

- Compiled with gcc 4.7, latest slimrom sources, 3.4.60 kernel, the usual command line tools and tweaked bash. Also compiled in the latest Focal sources.

Bugs:

-noticed the sd card gets unmounted randomly on occasion, this seems to be a 4.3 bug as I saw mention of it in the CM forums as well.

-on first boot, some ringtones were missing. The showed up after a reboot and have been there since.

-GPS seems broken for now

Note: this was built with -Os flags, the -O3 are failing with qcom_display-caf errors. I'm still working on this, I think it's just a problem with the cflags for -O3

Note2: The slimrom team is working like mad on the source code. There is literally updates every few hours to things. So lets keep talk of bugs down for now until they get everything ironed out. Remember that these 4.3 builds are BETA currently.

Here's the build:

http://d-h.st/q8V

Here's your toggleable 4.3 gapps:

Enjoy!

-Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] APDRJRD:
Yeah, this trick was how I was able to get a gps lock in the first place, since I had troubles in the past. Unfortunately, I was still unable to get the lock to stick while driving if not on a sense ROM. Since Mike just posted a 4.3 beta, I'll have to test if that helps at all, or accept that my GPS chip doesn't like aosp.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcwups1:
And you apparently need to flash SU?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
For the 4.3 Slimbean beta? No, root access is built into the ROM, no flashing of anything is necessary.

-Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
Hmm. Never had a gps problem on AOSP based ROMs, I get a quick lock of down to 12ft on the 4.2.2 version from the OP. Let me know how the 4.3 beta works for ya.

Thanks,

Mike

Edit: I spoke too soon, gps seems to be broken on 4.3. At least for me, maybe someone else can confirm. I'll do some more tests later
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcwups1:
I don't have root access for some reason. MD5 matched on ROM. Couldn't check gapps.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
Oh, sorry, I should have mentioned this, you need to enable root on 4.3 ROMs

Settings - - > Developer Options - - > Root Access

Cheers,

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcwups1:
LOL!

Hadn't done that for others! You scared me!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcwups1:
I'll keep trying, but I cannot for the life of me get GPS to lock.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
If you haven't tried this yet here it goes.

Nandroid this ROM, flash a sense ROM, DL GPS tools from the market, open it, hit menu, tools, agps status, clear agps status. Then get a GPS lock in that app. As soon as it gets a lock reboot directly to recovery and restore this ROM. Should fix your problem.

I will try without tomorrow.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcwups1:
Working on it all morning, and still can't get a GPS lock.

Everything else about this ROM is awesome. Everything I'm looking for.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
Yeah, it's a bummer and I'm working on that. I've compiled two more builds since yesterday with the same results. Seems GPS is broken for now on 4.3 for SlimBean, have you had good GPS results with other 4.3 ROMs? I'll keep looking into it but for now, if you need GPS, just use the 4.2.2 build 8 on the OP, that is solid.

Cheers,

-Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcwups1:
Oh, good. At least it's not my phone. I must not have understood your release post. I'm not sure what some of it meant, but I assume it has something to do with GPS?

:o

I'm just happy it's not my phone. Nothing major. Just Weather Channel app and Glympse.

I'm sure you'll figure it out and I'll wait patiently!

BTW... Beautiful ROM.

Root gone

When I installed 4.3, I think I lost root. Titanium backup isn't working and SU is acting weird, Titanium says I don't have root.

When I installed, I just did a default wipe in TWRP 2.6 and installed 4.3 and gapps. Any tips?

Never did figure it out yet. Still not working though. Using a set of Etymotics, HF2 I think.

Mcwups, any tips where you found inverted gapps 4 3? Ive been looking the last 2 days.

I'm wondering if that's just in custom ROMs, or if that's just part of android now, stock. That'd be awesome if it's now just part of android natively.

Why do you need inverted gapps? The Slim Gapps are toggleable. If you enable The Real Dark Slim option in settings, they will automatically become inverted.

Or do you want inverted gapps without toggling the rest of the ROM?

-Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcwups1:
I've done it myself, not knowing which ROMS inverted.

Some do, some don't.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] a senile fungus:
Also, sometimes the dark ROM features are too dark.... Sometimes black on black makes it difficult to differentiate what is a button and what is not...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Yeah, mike. Usually toggling dark gets rid of all the holo and gradient, which I like. But I like most my apps to be blue and black.

Thanks for asking.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
Sounds good to me, if someone wants to shoot me a link of a good inverted halo themed gapps, I'll include a link to that in the OP when I get 4.3 stable.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
Here's a newer SlimBean 4.3 beta build, putting us now at 5.2 beta. It seems more stable to me and the gapps have been updated too. GPS still isn't working and, believe me, I'm doing my damnest to get it fixed. So, if you feel like playing with it, here's the new link:

5.2 beta build:

5.x beta gapps:

http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewdownload/908-addons4-3/5132-slim-aio-gapps-4-3-build-beta-5

Note, if you are coming from a 4.2 build, do a full wipe (including system). If you are upgrading from the last beta, you will have to uninstall Google Now and reinstall it, do to some security upgrades causing a FC on it.

Again, this is BETA, use the version from the OP for a stable build.

Cheers,

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
Here's a newer build if anyones interested. It has some stablizations to the source code and is currently on a freeze for 4.3 Build 1 stable. GPS is still not working though, if the fixes for that get committed this weekend, I'll put out another build on Monday.

This has been odexed for a better build. In case you are wondering about why, this video sums it up great.

Hey all, here is a new build:

SlimBean-Jewel-Build-1.2

And here is your Gapps:

Toggleable Slim Gapps (Aroma Version)

GPS is still not working, we'll have to wait until that gets fixed upstream. However, this build has an updated kernel, 3.4.62, and some fixes to data issues, also some updates to audio, updates to the Focal app. It is now at Build 1.2, enjoy!

NOTE: If you have FC's on Google Now, it's due to security protocols in the app now. When dirty flashing, uninstall Google Now and reboot, then reinstall your Gapp's. This is also listed on the SlimROMs Gapp download page. If you do this, it'll work fine, I just did it again today.

Do yourself a favor and don't just skim this post...

Well, I've found a winner. I used this ROM for most of the weekend, and my initial impressions were (and still are correct). This is a really sweet ROM. It is fast, fluid and visually appealing. I don't know why this thread shows so little traffic... :confused:

Now, unfortunately I can't currently make it my daily driver :(, and I'll have to blame Google... :eek: When I started out, I found 2 app related issues. The first was easy to fix (the Twitter widget would literally pulse. Should have taken a video...). Fixed it by uninstalling, clearing cache and dalvik, and reinstalling. The second is that Google Maps and My Tracks (by Google) insist on starting themselves and running in the background. Even though I'm using Greenify* to hibernate them, they'd still come back and eat my battery like a Pacman nightmare... :eek: I don't have this issue on the exact same setup using Jamie's Liquid Smooth which is what SlimBean was running neck and neck with. :confused:

I can't tell you why these issues occur except for the simple fact that each phone has a different personality (or maybe it's the owner's aura?**). I know how these damn computers (in general) function down to the gate level, and manufacturing tolerances/differences just don't explain it... for example, my phone would consistently get the multi-touch heeby-jeebies when running Carbon, while other people don't (FWIW, I saw a report that deck's 4/13 build fixes this issue).. Go figure...

@mikshepard - thank you very much for your work in bringing us a great ROM (and thanks also to the folks at Slim ROMs!). Folks, you simply owe it to yourself to try this ROM...

* I put in a feature request to TB's dev to freeze/unfreeze an app via launcher shortcuts...
