I mount it horizontally because of preference I guess. It looks better and feels more stable that way.

I bought one of those cheap vent mounts from Microcenter and couldn't be happier. I don't want it up on my window or dash. When I get in my car my BT connects and that's all I use nowadays. Whether it's mp3s with the music app or Pandora/TuneIn. I also use Waze 90% of the time when I'm driving too.

edit: I went back to a couple different roms and none of them had a dialer/landscape option. Not sure why I thought they did. But ExDialer is a great alternative I've been using in case anyone else is curious.

I didn't see this asked but I wanted to know is there a way around the lockscreen dimming any wallpaper that's set. It's not major but just thought I'd asked in case I missed a setting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MikeySmikey:
A little off topic but IMO I think the SlimBean team should consider renaming their work to SlimRom. Android 4.4 is inevitable and rumor has it it'll be named KitKat, and if that's the case the suffix "Bean" will no longer be relevant.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] prbassplayer:
We are SlimRoms, How ever rom is called slim Bean because that's current aosp name. In the passed we where SlimICS and we will probably be called SlimKat in the future. Just guessing keeping our trend. Not saying it will be.

1st off sorry if this is a stupid question (it might well be). I've been criticized (rightfully so) for my recent inability to 'RTFM'.

I seem unable to get 'Google Now' going. Google search works just fine and I've followed the instructions given to remove it using Titanium Backup and re-flash gapps in the case of issues. The problem seems to be I'm never given the 'opt-in' prompt and as a result never see the cards and other associated information.

Anyway, it's not really that much of an issue, I'm more wondering if I'm just missing something fundamental or not.

Thanks for a great ROM and all the hard work that's gone into it.

Have a few beers on me:

What gapps did u flash? U need to flash the AIO or selectable aroma gapps and it SHOULD be selectable from aroma. Reason I Say should is I haven't used that. I just used the AIO package. Slim gapps is just the bare minimum

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaggyskunk:
Flowbyte - use a root explorer and look for "QuickSearcBox" in Data - Apps - And delete it. Reboot once just to make sure - then

Reflash AIO Gapps & you should be good to go.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flowbyte:
Thanks for the help. I've tried the suggestions and no luck. Search works just fine. I never get the option to 'opt in' to Google Now and there's no mention of it in settings. Odd...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaggyskunk:
Try going into Google Now - Settings - Accounts and see what's there - Is your Google account there, do you have Cards set to "On"?

Do you have Location services enabled?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flowbyte:
Okay, thus far I've done the following to try and solve this issue:

Full wipe of internal SD and total clean install.

Deletion of Google Search via Titanium Backup before re-flashing of Slim AIO gapps.

Deletion of Google Search via Titanium Backup before re-flashing of Slim Aroma gapps.

Removal of Google search using root explorer and a repeat of each of the above.

Clearing of caches after actions to see if that helps.

Various other re-flashes of the ROM...

Basically when I open Google Search it's just a search box. No option to 'opt-in' to Google now or whatever. My account is there and everything else is just fine.

Looking at search options there's no mention of Google now at all. There's just: Voice, Phone search, Privacy & accounts.

I'm all of out ideas :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaggyskunk:
Try this:

Google search - Menu - Settings - Privacy & Accounts - Google Account (click on it) And see what's there?

Do you have more than one Google Account set up on your phone - (if the above didn't help) Add another Google Account under System Settings - Accounts

You need to get Google Now / Search to Ask you to choose an account to use, for showing Cards etc (I know that you know most of this) but there's something wrong with your settings.... somewhere. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] prbassplayer:
Remove Google account, delete search data, plsystore /services data reboot re add and try
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flowbyte:
My account is indeed there and selected for Google now cards (in fact that's the only place I can find a mention of Google now cards).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flowbyte:
Tried the suggestion. Still the same old search.

Thanks for the help, I can live without Google now :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaggyskunk:
One last thought - I know that you deleted the QuickSearcBox in System Apps - But you could also check in - Data Apps for Google Search & IF, it's there - Delete it as well...... If you're so inclined as to try?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flowbyte:
I'll give it a shot. Cheers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flowbyte:
Hell, I fixed it in the end. Turned out to be the most convoluted reason...

From what I gather it wasn't working for the following reasons:

Since Google retired Lattitude there's a number of countries that no longer have location services available while the Google+ location services come up to speed. As a result of that my Google apps account that was created in England doesn't work for Google now in the US (where I'm currently living).

For some stupid reason you can't change a Google apps account default country.

Luckily you can change the default country on a standard Google account. After doing so on my secondary account and setting that as the one to use for Google now all is well.

Thanks for all help on this. I'm writing this essay just in case anyone else ever has the same issue :)

I'm having an issue where the backlight for the capacitive hardware keys doesn't stay off. Under Settings --> Advanced Options --> Device --> Screen, I uncheck the option labeled "Backlight" under Touchkeys. It works right away, but when I lock the screen and turn it back on, the keys are lit up again. When I go back into the settings, the box is still unchecked.

Also, does anybody know how to change the cursor for the S-Pen? Right now it's a black arrow, but on other ROMs I've used it's been a pale blue dot, which I much rather prefer.

Are you using stock kernel? Clean install, yada yada yada. Need some details.

I am running with no problems here...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kashk5:
I'm running the latest N.E.A.K kernel (15.9 I believe is the latest version). It was an absolute clean install, wiped everything short of the external SD card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cMACr:
It is a known problem with the N.E.A.K. kernel, and has been reported and confirmed in their thread... You will need to go back to stock, or maybe try something different if it bothers you...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaggyskunk:
Maybe go post on the NEAK thread - because your issue has nothing to do with Slim.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kashk5:
Thanks! How would I go about switching back to the stock kernel for this ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cMACr:
If you didn't NAND, just dirty flash...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] prbassplayer:
Don't get me wrong guys I try to not do anything that might break stuff with other kernels but I can't debug their problems so keep bug reports only if on stock kernel :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kashk5:
Reflashing the original kernel definitely fixed the problem. I'm loving this ROM, thanks!

I found this thread regarding custom S-Pen cursors. Would this mod work with SlimBean? Has anyone given it a try?

GPS again

So I am certain I am in the minority here, but here we go...

I previously posted I was having GPS issues, tried several options, finially went with ODIN whigh fixed the issue. Fast forward to last night phone went dark (screen), didn't think nothing of it, rebooted and all is well except of course my GPS.

So, anyone else having issues? I will ODIN again later and try a TW ROM.

I am hoping it is a software issue and not a hardware one. Just testing the waters to see if anyone else. Still love the ROM though...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaggyskunk:
GPS is working fine for me - even when I'm inside - takes a few seconds to get a lock.

I use GPS Status from the store - works well.

Rom is working great. Thanks OP
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Really awesome rom dev. Gracias!!!

What kernel is everyone running?? Stock, Neak or Devil?? I admit I seem to be having pretty high battery drain, with the biggest culprit being an mdm_hsic_pm0 constant wakelock.

Any suggestions?

I'm running stock kernel by the way, but didn't flash Slim gapps, used the normal goo ones.

Neak does great for me

I prefer the Devil kernel. I think it plays better with this rom. Not to mention Devils tools is the best tweaker out there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rob_z11:
I am just running Neak, and so far it is ok, but I can't seems to turn off the backlight. I have gone in advanced settings/screen, and settings doesn't seem to stick once device goes to sleep, and wake up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cMACr:
It is a problem with NEAK, was reported in their thread (and this one) some time ago...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Using Devil and this Rom flies, thanks for the suggestion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rob_z11:
Yes, I saw in kernel thread, and not sure if there is any workaround to fix it? It is annoying.

Which is better in terms of battery life? Neak or Devil or Stock. I am getting decent performance with stock, but need to try other kernel to see what's out there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rhaneyjr:
I don't have that issue

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cMACr:
Getting NEAK fixed would be better asked in that thread. As which is better, why not try them all and see what works better for you? Everyone has different preferences, usage, etc. So the results will vary... you can always dirty flash to get back to stock if it doesn't work out.

---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------

You are one of the lucky ones, I had the issue, reported it and had it confirmed... Maybe they fixed it:confused: although I haven't seen any new kernel update posted though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rob_z11:
Do you have to format the system to install kernel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cMACr:
I never have, just flash and load the recommend app to tweak...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rob_z11:
I have downloaded the free version, and it lacks alert manager which I suppose has the functionality of turning off the backlight. I can leave with it if it is good on battery life.

Switch to the Devil Kernel which has the Display Color Calibration as well as I was able to undervolt using Volt control, a free app from the market. Neak kernel has a mature app to control kernel settings, it is very nice but just can't turn off the backlights.

Love the rom and one of the best I've tried to date. However, if you could please investigate/fix these two minor issues I'd really appreciate it!!

1. Cellular reception is not as good as it was before. At work (downtown NYC) I was able to get at least 2 bars. Now that I'm Slimbean 4.3, no bars or service.

2. This is a dumb one, but it would make me very happy - Candy Crush is not compatible with my device :(

Keep up the great work!!:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tkjeeper:
I played CC all the time no issues. Anyone else? Signal hasn't changed at all either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rob_z11:
Backlight seems to break if you run latest Devil's kernel or NEAK, so I guess it may be CM related? Anyone has been successfully keep the backlight from turn it on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
I actually don't know if signal is rom or network related, I have experienced a reduce in signal bars also.

As far as Candy Crush, what Gapps package did you flash?? Remember that Slim runs in an unofficial DPI, if you use the google Market you will get compatibility issues with some apps. To fix either flash Slim Gapps, or download Xposed module, and install the module named play market fix and set the dpi at 320. I use the later since I don't like slim gapps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaggyskunk:
Flashing a rom doesn't touch your radio.

There have been numerous articles about how manufacturers of Android & yes even iOS have "tweaked" the display of what the signal reporting is.

The most likely reason for any variations in actual reception is - Network activity and load. I can be at the same place and at different times - I'll see 4G with 3 bars and at other times I can see H+ or even Edge - Same phone - Same Rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Roms can cause data issues even when not touching the radio. A lot of Roms include tweaks and optimizations for data, that can end up slowing down the connection or reducing it's stability.

I have even experienced this in my Gnex which is pure AOSP.

Though I agree with you that it might just be a network issue, as it is most likely. Unfortunately this network issues only affect AOSP Roms since my wife's GS4 (stock) usually has 2-3 bars more than I.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] b k w:
It's not just the visual lack of bars I'm experiencing. In places where I normally have had decent service (pre-Slim), I now do not any service at all.

Is there something out there that'll optimize that?

Thanks for the gapps tip, I'll try the slim gapps right now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rob_z11:
There is new radio out there somewhere I have found. I have not experience any coverage using this ROM. My biggie is not been able to turn off the backlight using custom kernel such as NEAK or Devil's.

I am on baseband MH3.

Small funky auto brightness bug in dialer when you try to hang the phone, screen has bright flash before it settles into the correct brightness.

Could you share your kernel settings? Can be either via pm or by posting them here.

Sure. Undervolting by about 50 using Devil Kernel tool. Using Greenify to pretty much shut everything, and using Trickster to enable master switch to kill the saturated colors under screen, and aggressive on auto brightness to reduce brightness.
