i can go to the sdcard part of the file explorers and select it, but i always end up in the "0" folder

sdcard1 = external sd card, glanced quickly at gandicela's screenie but i have the same setup in es file explorer, the top one being the internal and the other external (external works perfectly though)

it's not that big of a deal though, just gotta remember it, and for people coming from tw roms they have to keep in mind to move everything they want to keep from the internal storage to a different sd-card/computer first and transfer it back after formatting the internal storage + flashing the new rom :)

everything works out in the end, gonna try out the cm10.2 nightly tonight and the cm10.1 as well to see if they have the same issue and if its solveable somehow in the settings. Don't know for sure but i thought cm10.1 (used beanstalk this weekend for a short while) worked properly after disabling the user profiles option.

I'll play the flashaholic tonight and see if its solveable somehow with the pure cm stuff, if they could handle it, it should be cake for the slimteam :D

(as far as my limited dev mind goes, it seems though that an sd-card is emulated on the internal storage instead of using the actual internal storage, and maybe changing a simple piece of code could solve the issue, or maybe they did that on purpose because of the sheer number of different note 2 models out there and this making it a bit easier)

(hope the screenshot gives a bit of difference, left part i can only get into with 4.3 (moving from the paring to the 0 folder only makes things messy as stuff gets duplicated weirdly enough)

lets say the folder scummvm contains a folder game1. if i would copy scummvm to the "0" folder i would get "0\scummvm\game1\game1" (the game folder is duplicated, also deleting from it, on the phone/on the computer could give errors while doing that, or just doesn't get deleted at all)

[MENTION=3877985]prbassplayer[/MENTION] why is vibration strenght greyed out in advanced settings?

(I have not disabled vibrate on touch in sound settings)
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] contramundi:
Hereby some small fixes :)

Making screenshots quickly (no button combo's needed)

1) go to "settings"

2) go to "navigation"

3) go to "Power menu"

4) enable "screenshot"

you should now be able to make a screenshot with an option in the power menu :) (easy as that ^^)

SD Card Issue

ok, so for someone moving from tw to slim (or any other android 4.2 / 4.3 rom) and is experiencing the issue of the internal storage appearing "empty" (in other words your own data is missing) and at the same time the storage amount used is bigger than the actual files available to you.

1) get your hands on es file explorer (or any other root explorer, slim has a browser built in as well although don't know how to use that one, im an ES user myself, just make sure the browser you use has the option to browse and edit as root)

2) open up the left slide menu and go to "tools"

3) select "root explorer" and give ES root permission

4) go up all the way to the root of the filesystem

5) next open up the folder "data" and afterwards "media"

all your files are there and you should be able to access them from there, just move the folders containing the stuff you want to keep into the "0" folder and delete everything else to free up storage space (do not remove the folders "0", "legacy" and "obb")

lastly [MENTION=4144701]bearusa[/MENTION], attached a screenshot from how slimbean looks for me default (i've removed the search bar and was tinkering with the clockwidget so those are 2 things you shouldn't look at, also i've removed the 2 import buttons from the screen, otherwise i haven't changed anything yet).

I've flashed Slim-t0lte-4.3.beta.4-WEEKLY-428.zip + Slim_AIO_gapps.4.3.beta.4.x.zip and selected nova launcher as my default launcher.

Anyone noticed an issue with network mode?

If i select LTE/GSM/WCDMA it will just revert back to GSM/WCDMA Preferred...

Also how do you rotate the screen when in phone/call log/ favorites?

I have selected rotation and everything else does just not the phone pad/call log and favs.

Im probably missing something simple, any help appreciated.

Awesome rom though, i have tried pretty much all others TW and AOSP and have found this to be very smooth, fast stable and awesome batt life esp with greenify app.

Hi Guys

Big fan of slimrom on my G2 i love them

but before I try it I need to do a stupid question

i look at all the posts and since there is not answer here it goes

if i want to use the spen app can i install it later is included on the rom?

probably the answer is not, and is kind of deal breaker, but here im hoping is possible

thanks
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] contramundi:
what s-pen app are you talking about? if its the default samsung ones you can't, they are heavily dependant on the touchwiz (samsung) framework and cannot be used in other non-touchwiz roms.

There's a few alternatives on the market though, gmd s-pen control (i hope i have the name correct) is one of them and can replace the quick command, and i believe there's a few default gesture settings in the non-tw roms as well (don't know if slim has those as well though)

for other apps like the s-note / s-planner / etc i think there's a lot of alternatives on the market, for a keyboard with handwriting recognition i would heavily recommend "swype" its basically the only one i could find that could truly replace the samsung keyboard.

the golden rule you should keep in mind when coming from a touchwiz rom is that most of the samsung apps themselves will not be available or work for you in android 4.2 / 4.3 (not unless samsung releases a rom with the latest android and a touchwiz interface for your device). Some can be easily backed up with titanium and restored later (like kies air) but most are too dependent on the framework to work :)
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] StefanSR:
I use note Buddy to create shortcuts in the notification drawer similarly the touchwiz launcher. The shortcuts can you see when the spen is out.

Stylus gestures are included in the Rom under language & input.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] contramundi:
looks like a nice app, haven't heard about that one before, gonna try it out later when i flash the latest slimbean, (reverted back to stock because of google now being extremely annoying in scummvm when i wanted to get my keyboard out :P disabling/freezing/uninstalling only made me get no keyboard at all.)

quick question, i've read about philz recovery being able to use /data/media instead of /data/media/0, did anyone try this on a android 4.3 rom? Not familiar with cwm based recoveries i prefer twrp myself but if that works it should solve the sd-card issue i was refering to a few pages back where android "emulates" and sd-card under /data/meda (the 0 folder) instead of using /data/media as the sd-card.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] StefanSR:
You can choose in philz touch recovery/adcanced settings between data/media and data/media/0. It works. I prefer philz touch recovery. I use the latest 5.11.2. It's working properly.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Gandicela:
I use Papyrus app for note taking; it does the same thing.

With the features and capability of SlimBean ROM, I am actually never looking back to TW including any of the S-apps that it offers.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] StefanSR:
I don't miss touchwiz. I was switching the last time between CM 10.2 and slimbean. I 'm going to stay with slimbean now. More features and great support. Weekly updates.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] contramundi:
how did you get it working then? i've tried it briefly earlier this week (maybe i'm not used to philz/cwm enough) but after flashing cm10.2 i still had the emulated internal storage in /data/media/0 instead of cm using /data/media even though i had that set in philz. Reckon its something i missed somewhere so i flashed back stock and was going to look at it this weekend :) (also is there a way to disable the touch part of philz? its way to sensitive for my taste.)

i'm quite eager to switch to slimbean as well, but with the stock touchwiz rom i currently have no issues popping up my keyboard in scummvm, while in the non-tw roms i keep getting google now in front of my screen as soon as i use the menu button for the keyboard (some games can only be saved by using the in-game menu). Freezing google search or uninstalling it, make me get no keyboard at all either so that is basically the only thing currently still holding me back. the storage part i can live with :)

still gotta look at a few more games i still want to replay to see if they have the option to save with the default scummvm menu, if not i'm flashing slim, if they have it, i'll wait a bit longer and finish those games first :P

i don't suppose there's any way to get rid of the whole "menu button longpress" option to open google now? Problem is, that when i uninstall google search, the option in whatsapp dissapears to record a message, i can live without the rest of the app but the recording part is too fun and quick to share with my family when my nephew is making weird noises again (he's 7 month's old so its way to cute when he tries to laugh :D )

i don't know why people have the slim file manager fc'ing on them, flashed the rom, and opened it up, apart from the root permission prompt taking a while to get there and the file manager seemed to stop responding, everything works so far :)

took me a few flashes before i got the rom booted up though, it is really needed to format the internal storage (normal sd-card or /data/media) before flashing, if you don't format this part as well, it'll most likely result in getting stuck at the slimrom logo :)

in regard of the philz recovery and using /data/media, when using the file manager and browse the root of the device, the storage card is still emulated as being /data/media/0 :) even though i have said to the recovery i want to use /data/media.

not that big of a deal, if i ever revert back to touchwiz i can easily put back my files from a backup on my external sd card ^^

i'm just curious and have one more question... where is the option to edit the background for the lockscreen? or do the lockscreen and homescreen share a background image? (thought there was an option to edit both seperately)

First i just want to say that this is an awesome Rom. I didn't know what to expect but I'm extremely satisfied. Not sure if this has been mentioned before but I'm having trouble updating Google Now. I did a search but I didn't see anything. Is there something I'm missing?

[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] contramundi:
what sort of trouble are you talking about? google now should be updateable with the playstore.

If you get a specific error in google play while trying to update/install an app, type the complete error into a google search, i'm not quite sure myself about it but some errors need you to clear out the cache/data after you closed down the playstore. (can't remember the exact steps hence google search :P )

if that fails go for the solution [MENTION=3286051]asianbobo15[/MENTION] mentions above :) or instead of the AIO package get the minimal one (http://slimroms.net/index.php/downl...-addons4-3/5133-slim-minimal-gapps-4-3-beta-5) and install google search from the playstore manually :)

another question, is there a way to make the sdcard become the main memory? as in for apps/ downloads?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] contramundi:
chrome i'm not experiencing any issues with, did you do a full wipe before flashing or dirty flash over earlier slimrom?

about the memory swap, i don't think thats currently doable, its been something (if i'm not mistaken) that's been done kernel-wise

as soon as the kernels come fully working for 4.3 it should be doable though :) i know agni PureCM kernel has the option but it's a bit buggy at the moment. (the kernel not the option ;) psndna88 is reworking it as we speak)

[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] contramundi:
so you deleted everything related to the rom you had installed? This would be a factory reset :)

in twrp its actually called a factory reset and deletes everything apart from /data/media as that is the internal storage. cwm and philz don't use the phrase factory reset,but the recovery does it for you anyhow :)

not doing a factory reset, could give a boatload of issues, coming from a different rom altogether messes everything up real bad and you won't be able to get into the system most likely (clean install with factory reset solves this), coming from the same rom but a previous release could result in issues with apps fc'ing or not working at all:), unless told otherwise, even coming from a previous release of the rom a full wipe is always recommended, and especially with roms still in their beta status,

that said, slimbean more or less is stable :D haven't encountered any real issues with beta 5 yet, there's some minor issues i'm encountering but nothing that really matters that much, screen has the tendency to go on in my protective case when i have the charger plugged in (even if i use the power button to toggle it of it could turn on again later by itself), happened to me 2x this week when i woke up my screen was on and my battery level was the same as when i plugged it in. (got it auto turn of after about 1 min so being on the whole night is kinda strange)

The rom simply works wonderfully, flashed it last saturday and as said it works as it should for me :) can't wait to flash beta 6 (or will it be a stable one next? :P )

2 things though, if i pause my musicplayer after arriving at work in the morning, and i unpause it when i go home in the evening, the music stutters, somewhat like the old portable cd-players who skipped seconds everytime there was a bump in the road :P closing down the music app and restarting it works though, but as n7player and google music both have it, i don't know if its rom related or app related.

secondly, my screen sometimes goes on by itself when a charger (usb / power outlet) is connected, normally i plug in the charger before i go to sleep and as my phone is in a case i won't see the screen again untill the next morning my alarm goes off, but i've noticed 3x now that the battery level hasn't changed even though the charger was in and the according to the icon the phone was charging up, took notice of it after the 2nd time and even though i could turn of the screen myself, it would go on again later.

(I'm free untill monday evening so i'm gonna try if it happens when the phone isn't in the case when i get home this afternoon :) )

keep up the excellent work your doing with the rom prbassplayer, at this rate you'll have reached stable within no time at all :)
