Turn off capacitive touch button backlights?

My moonreader+ app can't disable the softkey backlights anymore with this ROM. Does anyone know what's going on here? Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] latingonzo86:
Have you tried any other camera apps with success. I had the same issue with my camera and was wondering if a different so might help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
The camera that comes with 4.4.2 source still has issues. For now every dev will tell you that any camera app from the playstore will work better. Also the call volume is present in any aosp 4.4 rom. No real way yet to fix that issue but volume - then vol +. As 4.4 matures these things will be worked out but if you cant/dont want to wait then downgrade to 4.3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Hey Sleshy...I read something about being update PRL on Sprint on SlimKAT. Tried doing it, and got "the feature code you have entered is not valid". Got any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] latingonzo86:
Does anyone have a recommended camera app?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrtito32:
A Better Camera has worked well for me.

Can anyone post the stock kernel that came with Build 4.1? I tried Plasma, and have had to do several battery pulls. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] e92dream:
I did Plasma 2.5a1 and fixed my issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrtito32:
I'm looking for it now. So you haven't had any issues with if freezing requiring battery pull?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] e92dream:
Not yet. Having weird thing where Spotify won't play with screen off and Pandora will only play one song with screen off but that's only issues I've found.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrtito32:
I'm about to install and test it out. Would you happen to have the stock kernel for this ROM in case this one doesn't work well with my phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] e92dream:
Negative. I think if you just reflash the build then gapps... stock will be there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrtito32:
Thanks again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] n3td3v:
I fell back to build 3.2 of slimKat where the only issues I have experienced were with the stock camera..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
4.2 just got synced. building
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Checked the 4.2 changelog...wtf is the Chamber of Secrets?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Arjohns:
Its been in pretty much all builds. Not that I have ever used it. But I believe there are things that can be modified through it. But I would suggest a backup before playing in there cause it can beyond break things.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
Yeah, the annoying answer is "if your asking what the COS is then it's not for you"...

I warned it was an annoying answer :)

But yes, if you DO find it, have a backup. It's powerful
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sliverr7x:
Any luck with the newest build to post

Bump?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] HTCRyan:
I found a workaround to this issue by browsing these forums and using google. There is an app called Automagic Automation (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.gridvision.ppam.androidautomagic) that you use to automatically turn the volume down and back up when you make or receive a phone call. Works like a charm! I can't believe I went so long doing it manually...I did not discover this workaround, just found it. Once I remember where I found it, I will post here to give the proper thanks to the proper guy...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chnzshyguy:
Is no on else having issues disabling their softkey backlight?

Camera / Email Notifications

This ROM is the fastest, smoothest ROM I have run on my L900! I love it. I have two minor issues that I have searched for on the forum and found no discussion, so I thought I'd ask the gurus.

1) Camera seems to work fine. But when I attempt a mobile deposit through my Bank of America App, the app freezes as soon as I try to take a picture of the check. Works fine one other 4.x.x ROMS that I have tried it on. Not a major deal, just an annoyance.

2) The native email app is awesome. Only drawback with it is it does not have the little counter on the shortcut showing new message count. I am using the Nova Prime (paid) launcher and have downloaded the Tesla counter to no avail. It shows on other email apps I have downloaded (Aquamail, for example).

Any thoughts on the above two items? Thank you very much in advance.

Can't install Gear Manager

I cannot use the Gear 2 I bought today with my Note 2 running the latest Slim Kat. I need to install Gear Manager. There are 2 ways to install it and neither works.

One is through NFC. Does NFC work with this rom? I never used NFC at all since I bought the note. I held the gear charger and Note 2 back to back but nothing happened.

Then I tried to install it through the browser on my Note 2. Here is a screen shot I get when I try to install it that way. The part that is covered says

"The URL you entered is only supported on mobile devices."
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] joseph473:
More on Gear

I found the latest version of Gear Manager from another forum and installed it. However, after pairing I got the message

Unable to connect with the gear. Connecting to the gear is not supported by your mobile device, or your software needs to be updated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Samsung writes their firmware for these devices to only work with stock ROMs unrooted IIRC

SOL.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] joseph473:
That's sad to hear. Thanks for the information however.

Update: I returned the gear 2 this morning.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sliverr7x:
Slesh so are u going to stop cooking for us now and concentrate on the s5 I suppose well have to buy one of those now lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
Well I still have the N2 for now. And I havent deleted the working folders from my comp. Just cant test data etc

I think its funny how much people were crying that the S5 would be locked, I'm glad I took the gamble. Im rooted, Philz'd and workin on update.zip two days in :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Don't abandon us for a hobbit-sized phone! :fingers-crossed:

You using the latest build? If so, how's it been running for you?

Up until a couple weeks ago I was running the last odexed Slim version and liked it fairly well (ran it for a couple/few months). Been running lorjay's deodexed stock/rooted since. 4.3 seems to have some reboot "issues", regardless of whose 4.3 ROM I'm running (and that is NOT disrespecting anybody's work at all). Kinda went back to stock to see if I would use multi-window, or S-Note, or some other stock stuff. Yeah... not even once.

Although, I do like the stock Sprint voicemail app, if anybody has instructions/suggestions for me on getting that to work with this ROM, as I was unable to get it working on the odexed version. Or an alternative which is as good or better...

Oh yeah... LET'S GO BLUES!!!

This is a great ROM. Im sure you see the post above with VM. It's a matter of what you like. I don't have any reboot issues. I'll paste a wiping link. Back up internal SD and wipe it. I don't have problems on TWIZ. If you want to try again after wipe.

Volume Issue Workaround

A few posts back, I mentioned the workaround I found by SEARCHING Google and these great forums. I will make this as easy as I can for you...

Click this link: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=automagic+automation+android+volume+fix+flow then click the second link that is returned. ;)

This is the direct link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2355891

I did not come up with the fix, write the app, or have anything to do with the mod. I just did my due diligence and searched. That is why these forums are here. You may not find a general 4.4 bug fix in a thread specifically dedicated to your device. Search all threads. Search using Google or your SE of choice. ROM specifics you will find in this specific thread, but the volume issue is a well documented one. Please thank this post if it helped you. Whether it helped you or not, please thank the OP in the link above.

This ROM is the best, smoothest, fastest ROM I have run to date on my Note II and have zero issues other than the two annoyances I posted a few posts back (BoA app freezes when I try to take picture of check for mobile deposit, no matter which camera is installed, and the email app does not display the new message count) and I do not believe that these are ROM specific. Either way, they are in no way deal breakers. I tried every ROM here and on galaxynote2root.com and this one is the best. Hands down. Run it with confidence. I hope Slesh continues to support and update these great phones, but I would guess his attention now is focused on the S5.

Thank you for the great ROM!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sliverr7x:
Hey slesh just wondering if u had any plans on doing a update for this at all or u to busy busting out s5 ROMs
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Arjohns:
In my opinion, I would assume Slesh wouldn't just abandon development on the Note 2. I'm sure that as soon as time permits it he will have an update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
I've actually attempted several builds and run into new build issues/errors, so with my limited time it has become difficult to do more than just build em sometimes.

S5 has its own challenges for sure right now too
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sliverr7x:
Sounds good thanks a lot slesh
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ColeTrain!:
I did press the search button..

I found a couple posts like my problem. But didn't find the solution.

Music player is weird. I had the problem on both Google and Pandora. The music plays fine till I do something else, like a text. Then it will only play with the screen on and showing the home screen. If i show the player, it stops, if i sleep the phone stops. If i look at the Pandora / Google stops. Home button makes it play.

So to clarify the app is running in the status bar.. When it plays. Doesn't make sense to me.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ColeTrain!:
While I am at it... My reboot options are there sometimes... But mostly it just reboots. I don't see this.

3) Where are my Extended Reboot Options when I Long-Press the power button?

SlimRom has a neat feature to stop your kids (or anyone that doesnt know what they're doing) from accidentally booting into recovery.

Go to Settings, Developer's Options, Advanced Reboot

---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

Please don't misunderstand. I like the ROM a lot!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ColeTrain!:
So i just read the last 10 pages.

Im adamant that i don't have the reboot option. I did add debug to my options and it seems to work better.

I haven't tried the music again but it appears you unplug the headphones and that is the fix?

I installed devil kernel even though it was running great before that. But it appears that 1600 is max, and that is correct.

I got my work out running app to lock gps on this and i want to use this ROM as my primary in the dual boot devil recovery. So that has been my challenge as twiz and devil kernel don't play nice for me.

Anyway I am keeping this ROM, thanks for building it. Let me know if i missed anything.

Cheers

Back in posts 2332 and 2333 I mentioned I could not get the Gear 2 to sync with my Note 2 running the latest SlimKat. It paired but that was it. Yesterday I bought a Basis 1 watch which also lists the Note 2 as a phone it works with. However, though it paired and though the phone said it syncs every half hour, the data does not come to the web based dashboard as it should. Does this rom have a problem with the low level Bluetooth?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
I dont think Slim Roms have Gear device support. I'm surprised you had any pairing at all
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Last I knew the Gear devices were like all the other Samsung official hardware phone extensions....they only worked with unrooted stock, broken by design.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] joseph473:
The Basis watch is a fitness watch that has no connection with Samsung but it still does not work with my phone. Do you think it is a SlimKat problem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
You said gear 2. Thats what the responses were to
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] joseph473:
Yes I did. But after I returned the gear 2 I bought a Basis watch thinking it should work with SlimKat on the Note 2. It did not, so I am curious about SlimKat and lower power Bluetooth.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] supramike:
I had music issues. It would skip on winamp and google play music. I switched it back to Dalvik Runtime instead of ART.

Menu -> Developer Options -> Select Runtime and choose Dalvik.

Phone restarts. After that I haven't had any music issues. It's a long shot but I hope this helps.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
Still was a no go. Best I can deduce is that a recent update to my comp updated my Java version, and others have reported similar issues. Ive tried reverting but seem to still be having difficulties. Update took me from 6b27 to 6b30 and thats when everything went screwy it seems

Last link in the grey box:

Slim AIO Gapps package (via their site)

Download/Link is third one in the list, called:

Slim_google_camera_compatibility_fix

I use Camera MX, which IIRC, was recommended someplace in this thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] thunderwagn:
Different camera apps won't actually fix the problem. The camera is designed to run with touchwiz and once you remove that component and install an aosp/cm based ROM, you are basically running 2nd party software which in a nutshell, doesn't run properly with the camera. Any camera you install other than the stock without touchwiz as your base ROM will have the crashing issue.

You can use this app to restart the camera without reboot. Sometimes you may have to hit the restart camera a time or two to actually"kick" your camera back in gear.

Been so caught up in whatever launcher comes with the build in haven't reset it, but always choose Apex for my TW Roms.

Think im gonna DL it now though...

Synced my kernel repo with Ffolkes Matrix kernel, so it's merged with my tweaked kernel :) thinking it'll be a nice combo.

It'll be built with his synced from now on, changed have been pushed to git.

Huge thanks should be given to Ffolkes and his work, kernel work is no light task

Building now and heading in to work, will see what's on the other side at around 9

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bwillet:
Thanks for the response, but still no luck for me. The apps show up in the market just fine, but say "not compatible with your device". I am leaning towards them just not being compatible with CM... could someone in here try actually installing AutomateIt and see if they are successful?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mediawiz:
OK... it seems that the issue isn't that SlimRom doesn't support 64GB SD cards. The issue is that the install process for SlimRom corrupted my sd card. :( As such, neither my phone nor my PC can read from it anymore. My only option at this point is to reformat it and loose all of the data I had on it.i have installed/upgraded to a lot of ROMs in the past, and never ran into this. Not a happy camper.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] VeNuMuS:
The thing is that you have to make sure your sdcard is formatted to fat32 or else on boot it will get corrupted. Happened to me too. you can try to pull data from twrp. Mount your sd to your computer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
For some of the new converts coming from tw and new to the whole system wide DPI changing... the tried and true way to get your market apps back when they become incompatible from changing DPI is

1st: set system wide DPI to 320. Reboot.

2nd:clear play store data and Google Framework Services data. reboot.

3rd: open play store, press accept. Back out and change DPI to what you want and reboot. Done. Should stick now until you clean cache. :)

I think there is an SD card restore zip that is floating somewhere in the forum but I'm not sure where off the top of my head. Not sure if it will fix this completely though. Hopefully someone can chime in and let you know if this will fix this. If all else fails maybe 'prinform recovery program' for windows can recover photos and media sand such if you stop writing to the disk now.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
I am not sure why these sdcard issues are happening upon flash, I don't see anything in the updater script that would cause this, and it seems unfortunately sporadic(harder to pinpoint cause etc) until it is further figured out, updated OP with a warning concerning 64gb sdcards and exfat. I don't have one so I'm sorry I didnt know about it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] VeNuMuS:
AOSP usually only supports sd cards formatted to fat32. Upon boot it will scan the card and if its in exfat it will read it as corrupted then actually corrupt the sd card. I tested this for sbrissen when he was building CM for us. Good thing you put it in the OP now. That way people wont run into problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] aheeejd:
That app will install, I usually can't post screen shots but I'm gonna try, you are changing it to DPI 320 right, & then going back into settings & hitting the market clear then rebooting, yeah?

Strange, yesterday, I could not post a pic, oh well. Nice though
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
Thanks, and sorry to those affected. OP updated. Honestly thought I'd done my "due diligence" and found that exfat cards would either be read, or not read, not possibly corrupted. Either remove exfat 64gb SdCard for flash and boot or format to Fat32. In general it just seems like flashing various things is much easier with a fat32 formatted card, exfat modules are a pain to work with for various reasons
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bwillet:
I had the corrupted card issue happen to me after installing SlimRom (have a Sandisk Extreme 64GB), but I was able to do a CHKDSK /F in Windows and fix the issue WITHOUT LOSING DATA. I did end up having to format the card as FAT32 and copy all 43G of data back to the card, but now all is working well...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skunk Ape1:
Damned... You sure are kicking out the AOSP Roms!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
Meant to mention but forgot, I haven't done anything since I did a clean install of latest and I get this when I go to Store. So sometimes all that shouldn't be needed

Thank you, this is helpful info to some I am sure
