[MENTION=4451743]android88[/MENTION]... the Touch Control dev has asked whether you guys can enable CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC in the kernel cos that's the only reasson why TC is not working anymore...

Wrong thread unfortunately. Go to touchcontrol topic, all the answers are there.

Hells 39 won't work...

This is what the dev said

"Whether the TC Support will come back, is in the stars. I compile with 4.8.2 and SLAB, the TC Dev is still on 4.6 and slub"

and then [MENTION=2538253]bponury[/MENTION] said that hells disabled module support so he can't make it work...

use b38 if you want it to work
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nokiagye:
I flash the 39 and working fine. No the cm version the other
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Kurre:
Somewhat similar effect can be achieved by setting transparency value to 100% and enabling "show shadows" option in Nova's desktop settings.

[MENTION=3877985]prbassplayer[/MENTION] There's a way to use slim kernel on other ROM? I replaced it on the purity installation package and then flashed it but I lost root, flashing supersu didn't helped.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kurt.gomez:
i was talking about touch control support... b39 works fine with SLIM... but there's no touch control support for it
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Kurre:
I'm currently compiling some kernel builds..I can build a stock slim kernel with that flag enabled. Msg me via IRC if you want it for testing purposes and I can give you a link to it.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
I don't provide my kernel as a flash able. As for root I don't know flashing super su should solve it.

I don't know if I have that set in the defconfig. I'd need to verify what it is and what it does later.

At everyone else talking about other kernels let cut it out as android88 has already said so.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sryche:
use trickster, touch control (screen wakes control) works fine.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Kurre:
Yeah that option wasn't set on your current defconfig. It basically exposes defconfig in form of /proc/config.gz -> http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/IKCONFIG_PROC.html.

And I agree that discussion about other kernels should be kept at minimum..if there's some relevant information then maybe..but this "which kernel is best for slim" discussion is quite rude towards slim devs (IMHO) as it sounds like they wouldn't be making proper work :o

It would be better to keep that kind of discussion at some other place..maybe on irc, where spread of discussion topics are quite wide :)

PS. My kernel compiling is just for fun and to learn it..and even if I'm offering kernel builds, I won't distribute them (boot.imgs) here publicly and I always change the version string to say 'unofficial' or something like that :)

Actually, I have had an intention to talk with you (Josh) of something regardging kernels..but now I can't remember what it was :p I'll get in touch with you in irc if I recall what it was ;)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
I won't be on much IRC this weekend. PM me or email me if you remember what it was ;)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] zorginho:

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] saturax555:
on my device, this tip does not work: the nova shadows effect stops at the top of the nav bar, it is quite ugly. maybe because i do not use dock.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mercado_Negro:
Flashed SuperSU and apparently all my problems are gone.

1. Titanium Backup: now I don't have to change the backup path. I can restore/backup my apps just fine without worrying about my next reboot (before, with Superuser, I had to change my backup path back and forth after each reboot because it either gave me an error about my available space or it just used to get stuck while restoring my apps).

2. Franco Kernel Updater (FKU): now the application works correctly after granting Superuser privileges. I can backup my current kernel versions and all options work correctly.

3. Wi-Fi and mobile data: no grey bars, connection to Google servers is always there and Wi-Fi is working flawlessly.

If you're having problems just flash SuperSU and get rid of Superbuggy erm Superuser, that thing is seriously messed up.

It would be great if the Slim Team switched to SuperSU. I'm sure we'll see less reports if that happens.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mor_1228:
when i flashed supersu with superuser i got into many unexpected problems. so it will be nice the slim team adopts supersu because both super things into single rom will give problems.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mercado_Negro:
I cleared all notifications and disabled the registers before flashing SuperSU. The installer script deletes everything before flashing so you won't end up with two superuser applications. If you ran into several problems I would suggest you to do it how I said. It was flawless here.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] RohanM:
Flashed this rom, now my root is broken.. gosh..

Flashed super user again..
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mercado_Negro:
Did you enable your root access in Developers options?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] RohanM:
ohh do we need to do that ? Anyways I flashed supersu 1.65 from recovery, so everything works now.

chainfires supersu rockz..
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mercado_Negro:
Of course, it is stated in SlimRoms website:

http://www.slimroms.net/

At the end of the main page you'll find this info.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] RohanM:
As per the page u mentioned , we need to TitaniumBackup you need to change in settings you backup/restore path to "legacy" ALSO,

I just flashed super user & TB is also working fine without doing above thing.. ;)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mercado_Negro:
You flashed SuperSU which means that change in the backup path isn't necessary.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] RohanM:
Thanks for ur help mate.

M out of thanks so cant press it.. :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mercado_Negro:
You're welcome! Don't worry about the Thanks button, I'm just glad everything is working fine on your end :) :thumbup:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mor_1228:
in new slim or carbon builds u dont need to change path now even with superuser. changing path has gone now whether its super su or superuser.

that webpage is not updated
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mercado_Negro:
I had problems with Superuser on that regard. Every time I rebooted my phone things changed. It either got stuck when restoring or just didn't want to backup my apps. I had to switch paths every time I rebooted my phone. That was with Superuser, now that's gone with SuperSU.

I spent weeks trying to solve all these problems and flashed many ROMs but SlimBean is my thing so I just decided to flash SuperSU and see how things would go. I'm glad I did it, I'm finally back on my preferred ROM :)

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] gecko316:
Already tried reflashing and slim minimal gapps

I guess I'll just wait for 1.7 and try again then
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Kurre:
Glad you got this issue worked out :)

Can't really understand why superuser was causing these issues..as it has mostly been working nicely with me :o

SuperSU has some features I'd like to see in superuser also..like full logs, which make problem solving much easier when some root app is acting funny.

But mostly I think the culprit might be TiBu..or at least it has something to do with the big picture :)

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mercado_Negro:
Yeah, it's all a complete mess around here with this 4.3 fragmentation and we're paying the price for Google's nice act but fortunately we've always found a way to make things work thanks to Devs who work hard, even for free. Some apps don't like Superuser for some reason and strangely SuperSU always work everywhere, at least as far as I could read around these parts so it would be a nice idea to switch and live happily ever after :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
The problem is because superuser is constantly being changed that changing path thing randomly is needed. Hence why we haven't changed the page.

Yes because without logs (bug report) Things will be magically fixed... Format system when you reflashed?

Hey have you took a look on your kernel on purity? I don't want bothering with requests but in these days I tried a lot of kernel and yours seems the smoother and has also faux sound gamma and UV the only 3 things that I need!

How is this rom in terms of stability? Enough stable for daily use?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] anazhd:
Why don't you try it. I didn't see any bugs even I flash other kernel . And I'm on 1.6 which it's labeled as unstable weekly build at slimroms website, but to be honest, this is super stable. Got swag kangboi? Try it.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] stylez:
Just to agree 1.6 with semaphore_n4_1.7.1 and running totally sweet as daily driver.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] NexusPenguin:
Hi bardriel,

Even though I do not use this ROM directly, I use another one that is based on Slim.

And after running it for about 3 days, with some average usage of my tablet, I did not bump into any problems.

In my experience, this ROM isn't the fastest, but it is one of the most simple to customize to fit your needs, it has a lot of features (even though, for some of them, you have to dig to find where they are !) and it is really reliable and stable.

Runs smooth with the official Slim kernel, even though I also have great results with other kernels.

The best I would advise is to try it out for yourself : just go to recovery, make a backup of your current system (provided, you have enough space on your device) and install it.

I did an hybrid install : not clean (I kept the user data) but not dirty (I wiped everything else....) and no problems. I think SlimRoms promised some great features for the newest release that is due this week-end.

Regards.

Back on Slim after playing around with Carbon. But as of late it became more n more unstable.

What you think guys ?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] NexusPenguin:
Hi TechZero,

Don't know if it's on the plans for the developers of SlimBean, but it seems to be on plan for developers of Slim based ROM's...

Slim and Slim based ROMs are still those that best fill my needs and allow me to simply get the interface that I want to have on my device.

Others may be faster, but not as comfortable to customize and stable as Slim and Slim based.

Used with Slim kernel or others : still stable !

But not saving, as new tibu version automatically goes to legacy path whatever you choose manually, its overwritten. Went back to previous tibu version from their website, running again now.

I know it can be circumvented by flashing supersu but I heard that will break the selinux thing, so I hesitate doing it.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] TechXero:
I sure hope it's in the plans, it's an amazing feature, saves battery. Fingers crossed...

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Kurre:
Hmm, by saving you mean backupping an app? Just tried to backup newest angy birds (no prior backup) and it backupped it fine. com.rovio.angrybirdsstarwarsii.ads is present in TitaniumBackup folder. Or did you mean something else?

I know that there's have been some issues regarding superuser binaries etc..but we should be able to pinpoint where it fails definitely.

---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ----------

Battery saving with LCD display? Compared to what? I'd guess that it's power efficient only with amoled displays..But I could be wrong.. :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] alexkno:
Yes, backing up always Stops due to missing storage.

I can't change the path on SD to other than the legacy path. But to work it should be emulated /0 but it is always replaced by legacy.

Unless you flashed superuser, backing up apps is no more possible with the new tibu. By going back to previous version all is fine again

the only problem with slim 1.6( and older too) i have is GPS fix time... i must to wait long time to use gps... anyone have this problem? any kernel is better than stock kernel?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Kurre:
This is interesting..I'm using /sdcard and /storage/emulated/legacy paths without any issues.. emulates/0 path can't be used (as it doesn't actually even exist if looked via terminal/adb shell).

I made some investigating..as I needed something else to think than my thesis ATM :D

Every link should eventually point to the same place..

and looking through directory structure, it looks that there's several links..

/sdcard -> /storage/emulated/legacy
/storage/sdcard0 -> /storage/emulated/legacy
/mnt/sdcard -> /storage/emulated/legacy

/storage/emulated/legacy -> /mnt/shell/emulated/0

so eventually all of those are pointing to /mnt/shell/emulated/0

And checking the ramdisk, where the symbolic linking is done, there isn't any reference to /storage/emulated/0 and that's probably why it isn't working (dunno actually why it's shown by TiBu, maybe an app derp?).

Here's all storage related lines from ramdisk (at least all I found)

[B]init.rc[/B]
# create mountpoints
mkdir /mnt 0775 root system
...
export ANDROID_STORAGE /storage
...
# See storage config details at http://source.android.com/tech/storage/
mkdir /mnt/shell 0700 shell shell
# Ensure permissions are set appropriately after device early-init.
mkdir /storage 0050 root sdcard_r

[B]init.mako.rc[/B]
# See storage config details at http://source.android.com/tech/storage/
mkdir /mnt/shell/emulated 0700 shell shell
mkdir /storage/emulated 0555 root root
...
export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /storage/emulated/legacy
export EMULATED_STORAGE_SOURCE /mnt/shell/emulated
export EMULATED_STORAGE_TARGET /storage/emulated
...
# Support legacy paths
symlink /storage/emulated/legacy /sdcard
symlink /storage/emulated/legacy /mnt/sdcard
symlink /storage/emulated/legacy /storage/sdcard0
symlink /mnt/shell/emulated/0 /storage/emulated/legacy
...
# virtual sdcard daemon running as media_rw (1023)
service sdcard /system/bin/sdcard /data/media /mnt/shell/emulated 1023 1023
class late_start

So tl;dr

Every path points to /mnt/shell/emulated/0 which is then linked to /data/media/0 (actual path where user's sdcard data actually lies). /storage/emulated/0 isn't even created, so using it causes errors (of course).

Use /sdcard instead (easiest solution imho).

PS. Could someone with issues using /storage/emulated/legacy path grab some logcats during backupping/or anything, when errors are thrown by TiBu..it could be due some permission issues..which although shouldn't be plausible :)

PPS. build 1.8 is out..and changelog says that some superuser issues regarding legacy paths are fixed..so maybe problems are over now :P

One thing on 1.8: somehow gallery plus camera didn't install for me (using minimal gapps).

Strange is that I see gallery2.apk in the zip but no camera or gallery app. Also not to be found as uninstallable from slimsizer... I can of course move it manually, but I don't get why it isn't extracted to /system/apps during flash (with format /system)
