Well I've decided that Slim will probably be all I run on my N2 from now on. Hate losing MHL and the functions the spen had with TW, but this has always ran the best for me and does pretty much everything I need it to. Rocking a backup of the 7-28 build right now since that was the last one I tried before getting on a TW kick lol. Don't see a reason to switch till KK gets a theme chooser. Great work as always.

Great rom. I finally flashed 4.4 v2.1 yesterday. I have Nova as my launcher.

The thing is I now have an X centered at the top of my home screens. Does anyone know what I might have done or what I can do to rid my phone of the X?

Never mind. It was a nova issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] shwoogy21:
When playing music and turning the screen off the music continues to stutter. First time this ever happened so I know its not my phone or connection(wifi) I tried google play and poweramp...anyone else? Any help would be fantastic, great great rom otherwise!! thanks!

Not on the rom at the moment but I'm curious; what do you have your min cpu frequency set at

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] shwoogy21:
I do not touch any cpu settings so i'm not sure where to locate that for you. Ok, so removing the lock screen solves the problem, also when the lockscreen is active and waking the screen up and still keeping it locked there's no issue either. Even further testing showed that when you let the screen fade to black it skips like once or twice then its fine. So it's only an issue when lock screen is active and when you force to close the screen. Having the workarounds make this a non issue for me, thanks again for the great work!!

If I could make your STS MK4 look this good... I would definitely run it lol. You rock Slesh

And might I add, this is the 7-28 build. Not SlimKat. And it's been a champ lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Arjohns:
OK so forget what I said about spen functions. Bought GDM Spen control app and have to say it rocks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] badvcr:
Yeah that only happens to me when my phone does a soft reboot, only then it skips when the screen is off... The way I make go back to normal is by doing a reboot manually.

I love the rom just wish I did not have to deodex every release :(

Uhhh yeah that sounds pretty damn good. Slesh you're getting some cash next Friday man. You are one of the few people who have stayed with the device and are always improving the user experience with a now out dated phone (I don't think that. I freaking love this phone still). For that reason I don't feel like your are getting donations to move to another phone and drop everything you have going here. Thank you so much for your devotion to this phone and helping me and I'm sure others stick around to see what's next.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobntaz1996:
Just a quick noob question for anyone that might have the answer lol. I have just recently rooted my sprint note 2 that was on 4.3. so I am now rooted on the stock 4.3 rom with the mk4 build. Does that mean I can only download mk4 roms? If so will this one work? would love to try it out. thanks for the patience to read this and for the help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Arjohns:
I would assume you can flash this as I have seen nothing that would lead me to believe otherwise. That is assuming you have root and a custom recovery... Someone correct me if I'm wrong...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobntaz1996:
Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah I do have root and installed phils recovery. I also went in and deleted all the knox stuff as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MiguelHogue:
You can download whatever rom you want and flash from whatever rom. Only thing I'd suggest is Philz recovery. It's been great for me and a lot of other individuals

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
If having a deodexed version is important enough to all now because of the new experimental runtime (ART), I could just release the rom deodexed instead.

That's the way it comes out of the build, it's extra work for me to Odex etc.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
That would be great. Not that it make much difference to user but ART does get higher benchmark scores than the odexed version.

Couple things about using ART. User must use deodexed gapps (pa-gapps work fine cm's version is odexed) and a few things are not compatible with ART. Xposed is and will not be compatible they (creators) state they have no plans to make it compatible either.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Only catch being ART working is hit or miss. Of the two other 4.4.2 ROMs I've tried only 1 has working ART. Google themselves state that it is experimental and not production ready yet, so support is hit or miss.

That being said, it really does speed up Android without any need for overclocking etc.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
I've been so impressed with how snappy 4.4.2 SlimKat was I wasn't really caring about experimentally making it faster :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Arjohns:
I say keep it odexed and just let jlmancuso deodex and post here for those that want it lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
As the OP states when rom is built from source it comes deodexed and the OP odexes it himself. So really it would be easier for the OP to post those if users wanted them. Or let them learn how to do it themselves. It is not a very hard process if you are using a linux machine and I dont think it is very hard with widows. Although I only use windows when I have to so I skip over reading about the windows stuff.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Arjohns:
Yes but as he also mentioned, why worry about a slight increase in speed when is pretty fast as is. I mean ultimately it's his choice and I'd run it either way. I just have no reason to bother with ART
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] TechSr06:
No Service

When I flash this rom I get no phone service. I can connect to wifi, but that is it. Any ideas.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
Flash it with Philz recovery. Or clockwork mod recovery but I suggest Phil's. It's this way for ALL 4.4+ ROMS

This is listed all over the 4.4 threads and may even be on this page.

[MENTION=5174932]sles[/MENTION]h or anyone who may have, can someone post a link to the old Matrix-v1.42_No-GPU-OC. Please. I ask cause I'm on an older version of slim, the one where slesh had put back cm kernel. And I'd like to flash. I had all the kernels at one time but sd died quite some time ago, TIA

I used to just take the boot.img (stock one)from the ROM I'm on and replace the one in the kernel zip with the stock one, for example this plasma zip and flash it in recovery. It will flash the kernel that was in the ROM. Still pretty sure that works but I haven't done it that way in a couple months.

Edit: I would used to do this with 7zip on my PC. Not sure if it needs to be done in 7zip, or you could do it with, say...zarchiver , or a root explorer

I hope I explained that clear enough man, I'm just trying to rush into my house and watch this football game... kickoff is starting right now
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] aheeejd:
Thanks for your help, I flashed the 143 oc & rom booted right up. So both those work on 4.2.2. Nice. Thanks again.

What a performance jump on the 4.2 slim rom I'm on. Stinks though, these older kernels don't support an audio section in the current stweaks app. But still liking this big time.

Kk is awesome, but jumping back to 4.2 I forgot just how many settings this rom has.

How do I boost my media volume? Youtube audio is lower than it was before I flashed this ROM.

I came from stock 4.3. And the audio volumes were really loud and I had to turn it down.

But with this ROM, even with the volume turned ALL THE WAY UP, I can barely hear what's being said on youtube videos.

Anyone have this issue and/or have a fix?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Plasma and stweaks will help out extremely.

Umm I am not on slimkat ATM but I was. Look at the attached pic.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ThumbDriveCorps:
Tried it on the 4.4.2 beta and it locked my phone.

Luckily I still had a 4.2.2 slim on my sdcard. So I'll try the 4.4 betas or final release another time along with a tweakable kernel.

But at least I found the kernel thread to bookmark again, I lost it a few months ago lol. Thanks for info.

Oh, I did see the post about what plasma kernel does work on the 4.4, I'll write that down, thanks.

I still don't understand why Slimrom hasn't included the theme chooser... But I finally made the jump to 4.4... Really missing my themes but it's definitely running smooth.

Have been running some builds, but don't always have time to Odex and Package up.

Hi,

I'm not new to XDA, but didn't quite know in which forum to post this as it's not device specific.

I am an international user, currently in China and I have found recently that on all 4 android devices I have access to (CWM and Stock) the updates and downloads are not working in the play store anymore.

Regardless of whether I'm on several different Wifi networks, or 3G (China Unicom), I get the first 5KB downloaded and then it would just hang there forever. This happens to any and all apps as of this month.

Whenever I VPN, the updates work fine.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I tried to submit this into the Google support thread, but it's stuck in a loop. I follow the wizard and at the end where it says

If you've reviewed the information above and are still experiencing an issue, please contact us.

I click that and then I'm just taken to step one in the wizard again

I'm rooted with a custom recovery running M919UVUAMDB. Is there an easy way for me to update to M919UVUAMDL. When I tried the ota it said my phone has been modified and wouldn't proceed. I've been reading about people having issues rooting their phone after the they updated, so I'm thinking it may not be worth it to update at this time. I'm hoping I can just flash somthing to bring my phone up to date without the root blocking that was implemented in UAMDL. I have been having some issues and hope the update would resolve them.

...in other words, isn't it possible to find a custom firmware that you can flash through recovery? (or since this is Samsung land, is this all through Odin? I remember on my Evo 3D I could find new custom firmwares in zip files and flash from recovery.)

and Triangle Away resets some kind of counter specific to some Samsung phones relating to custom firmwares.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aLdaRiS:
he said he's already rooted and already has a custom recovery... so basically he needs to find a rom that is stock MDL but rooted(there are 2 in the and development forum) and flash it. that's it. I'm not sure why they wanted to update through Odin it kinda makes no sense.. cos they it'd be stock uprooted and then they'd have to root it again. AFAIK triangle away it's only used to reset the counter on the bootloader to see that you haven't installed any custom recoveries which you would only need if you were to send the phone back to tmo to have it exchanged. Otherwise you don't really need Odin unless you **** up a flash and then need to bring it back to stock fw and then root it again and do the whole process basically ODIN brings your phone back from a soft brick.

Hi anyone tried gently pressing the left border of the screen and notice some LCD ripples whereas the right side isn't so obvious? Or isit just me and is this a care for concern? Appreciate ur replies thx!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LitoNi:
I seriously dont understand any of you people. you are like the 5th one now? asking the same question over and over again. Its like a LCD/LED monitor, but without the "thin glass" surface.

its a screen with a thin glass surface, you press on it of course there's ripples or waves or whatever, like you want the phone screens to be made out of metal or super duper thick glass or something? and fyi when you use the terms gently, or gentle, or lightly press on the screen it doesnt mean you are pressing on it gently. Obviously you are pressing it hard enough to cause that ripple or waves effect. -.-

i can gently touch the monitor and see a little ripple effect, and i can do the same on the phone but see no ripple effect at all.

I believe most of you people are pressing on the screen too hard, learn to "touch" not "press." its touchscreen not press-screen.

PS: my apologies for the tone/choice of words used in this context, had a bad day.

PSS: but seriously its touchscreen not press-screen.

Galaxy S2, Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4 and iPad doesn't get screen rippling.

I had this problem with the XZs I had but only on two later manufactured models. (I went through 8)

There must be something under the screen on the lower left which causes pressure thus making it easier to cause the ripple in that location.

Just dont have it in your back pocket and sit on it.
