[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] maxs8007:
try flashing the latest ' slim Bean. 4.3' .. by lolation, you will get it in the development section.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tranceformat:
for me most stable is Cm 10.1 Alpha 9 by dhiru. Big thank for his God work! ^_^
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] gigley:
Thanx. I installed this rom. It has worked flawlessly for these couple of weeks. Thank ur god for me. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheMysteriousOne:
Screen always auto rotates even though the auto rotation option is disabled.

Problem started randomly today when I was on Purity's 09/08 build for almost a month, so I upgraded to 10/08 build just to see if it would fix anything. It didn't.

Only thing I can thing of is some app that is overriding this setting. But, I can't think of any that would do this.

Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
I've been waiting for this! Thank you so much. Only problem I've noticed is in call I sometimes can't hear the other person but they hear me. A couple questions. Can Facebook be inverted and can I install beats on this ROM (and will it actually work?) Other than that one issue great work!
[Motorola Droid 4] alteredlikeness:
You will probably need to find an inverted Facebook apk - the Slim team only inverts the Google apps. Not sure about Beats Audio..
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Thank you for the info. I tried awesome beats and it seems to work OK. Kick ass ROM bro.
[Motorola Droid 4] constituent37:
Try Team Blackout, they seem to have the most and most current inverted apps, usually only a week behind the officials updates.
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
I found it. I love the inverted look on this phone! Only a couple issues but definitely daily driver worthy
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Games seem to restart always. How could I fix this?
[Motorola Droid 4] beflythis:
very nice - big fan of this rom! just two small hitches:

edit: probably the biggest bug on this ROM - 1) the external SDCard isn't loaded or read properly... this includes in trying to transfer files via USB cable and also in the gallery "no external storage available"

2) calendar app is not appearing after a fresh flash... i've had this error on other roms; not sure why, but even the latest Gapps flash doesn't add it.

3) play store telling me "this app is not compatible with your version" for a number of apps including xbox live and BBM.... i presume this is because it's 4.3.3?

incompatible apps in play store fixed by downloading the slim gapps here: http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/383-addons/downloads

edit2: calendar also appears with the proper app after using the correct slim gapps!

edit3: still getting the incompatible app errors... might need to clear store cache/data.

[Motorola Droid 4] ugynok:
can anyone tell us how to use the extsd as camera location? thanks.
[Motorola Droid 4] sean9721:
Open up camera and long press anywhere on the screen. Then once the settings come up go to more settings. Then you will see a little image that resembles a memory card. Click on that and choose SD Card.

I haven't had any of these issues. I installed using a clean ROM slot. I can give you the name of the apps I downloaded if you like. Calendar has always worked for me since installing Slim.
[Motorola Droid 4] ugynok:
Thanks for the solution!

I haven't had the calling issue, they can hear me and i can hear them always... :)
[Motorola Droid 4] sean9721:
I downloaded cLock from the Slim website and then flashed the .zip. It shows up in the General settings, but after clicking the check mark it doesn't show up on the lockscreen. Is there something special that I'm missing?
[Motorola Droid 4] alteredlikeness:
Updated to stable build 2.1

Only on Android File Host (AFH) so far..
[Motorola Droid 4] maximuscesar:
I've just installed it on the stock slot and everything seems to work fine until now. It really does have two launchers? If i'm using one the other one will still be consumming resources/battery? BTW, thanks for the rom!
[Motorola Droid 4] fathermocker:
Would love to try it but I use HDMI and the dock daily. :/ There's a partial solution here http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2082827

Do you think you can implement it in your ROM?
[Motorola Droid 4] jkieffer46:
wifi

having trouble getting the wifi to work right- seems to me that the phone thinks it is in the area that i flashed the thing. literally where i was located at the time- has all the wifi spots remembered from that place. it wont connect or re learn any new spots though. any thoughts?

thanks for info.

The previous version (1.8) works well for me, i will try this new one too... :)
[Motorola Droid 4] jgardner:
Running on the stock slot, everything seems fine except mms. I can't send or receive and I've tried using stock messenger, hangouts (with sms integration), and vzw messaging. Any thoughts?

[Motorola Droid 4] r3flux:
This ROM worked great for a few hours, but now the touchscreen is dead and doesn't recognize any input, so I can't even get into safe strap. How can I get over this?

Sent using xda app-developers app
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
I hate to say it but that sounds like a hardware issue. Safestrap is independent of the ROM you are running so if the touch screen is not working at the safestrap splash screen AND in the ROM that says hardware to me.
[Motorola Droid 4] DiMacho:
I can tell you I am having the same issues. Solution was rebooting and then I found the wifispots surrounding me...:good:

Edit: It seems to be a location thing. Cause my GPS is also thinking that I am in the location I rebooted the phone. Sometimes it picks up the location where I am... and then back to the home location.

The wifi is working ok if you reboot the phone and login. When I go from home to work it connects to the wifi with no problem. But it does not detect new wifi networks.

SMS Issue

Just installed this this morning, from scratch, and i'm having an issue with SMS. Could anyone shed some light? I'm in Australia running a Droid 4 with a SIM from TPG Australia running on the Optus network.

My process:

root with razrblade

installed Safestrap-Maserati-3.63

set up ROM slot 1, clear and wipe

install slimbean and gapps

boot

now, my problem is that i can't send SMS. it fails straight away, no delay, "couldn't send this message". i've rebooted, looked at SMSC number (when i hit refresh is shows me the correct number for my telco. i get 'update error' when i try to enter the number in plain text or PDU format) and rebooted. I've just noticed that the lockscreen shows "no SIM card - YES Optus" at the bottom.

Any ideas for what I can try?
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
Delete and wipe the slot again.. install your rom.. let it boot, reboot and install gapps... boot and see if that fixes the sms issue.. if not, try wiping cache and data in your sms program
[Motorola Droid 4] Shobai:
So, I'd remembered seeing some posts on a GSM fix; I had a look into that and it seemed like a good place to start - I'm guessing that the ROM was made with CDMA Droid 4s in mind?

Anyway, long story short: I flashed the fix over the top of my install and it's now working beautifully.

Thanks for your suggestions, tho. I'll keep them in mind if something else crops up.

tl;dr: if you're planning to use this ROM on a GSM network, flash the ROM, the gapps and the GSM fix when you begin.
[Motorola Droid 4] ian3d:
Just wanted to bump on this. I have the same issue but I am able to get the new list of SSID's when toggling WIFI and manually scanning.

Could it have something to do with this new 4.3 feature? http://www.android.com/about/jelly-bean/

"Location detection through Wi-Fi - use Wi-Fi to detect location without turning on Wi-Fi all the time."
[Motorola Droid 4] jkieffer46:
yeah i reinstalled and thats what i have to do now. works every time. the other thing i notice is that data refuses to turn on sometimes while wifi is on. havent found a fix for it other than a reset and keeping the wifi off while sending pictures and whatnot
[Motorola Droid 4] huckky:
I had the same problem with 4.3.1. Phone picked up location where it was last booted up and showed it like my current location. But apps like yandex maps were showing correct location time to time. Maybe it`s gapps problem? I was really hoping to run 4.3 on my D4.
[Motorola Droid 4] ahjee:
everything is running perfect on my girls droid 4 running this rom except that she cant send or receive pictures messages...and i tried calling her a few times while sitting next to her because her mom said she called her and the phone never rang...so i guess she cannot receive calls either..anyone else?
[Motorola Droid 4] beflythis:
i can also report "phantom calls" received... my friends saying they've called and the phone is "switched off", even though it was actually on. My phone never registers the call.
[Motorola Droid 4] huckky:
It looks like safestrap may be involved with some of the problems. I had that weird location problem with ss 3.6.0 and 3.63. There is a new 3.65 version for maserati. You guys may check it out.

Ps: I haven't tried 3.65 myself.

Sent from Nokia 8110i
[Motorola Droid 4] Shobai:
what leads you to that conclusion, huckky?
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
I've haven't had any issues of "phantom calls" myself. At least not that I know of. LOL

The mms issue is common to all 4.3 based ROMs. You can usually get around it by installing a third party messaging app. I've always had good results with Verizon Messages on the Play store.
[Motorola Droid 4] huckky:
Check cm 10.1 topic. Some people had same problems with 10.2 and ss 3.65 seems to fix location problems for one of them

[Motorola Droid 4] ahjee:
must only be on 4.3 roms for this device because for my other devices i do not have that issue but thank you for the heads up. I will have to either download the app or get her a different rom...hoping to see kitkat for this device soon
[Motorola Droid 4] Shobai:
cheers mate, will do
[Motorola Droid 4] ugynok:
what version are you using? 1.8?

i am experienced dtmf errors in 1.8 version, i cannot enter codes, i can press them but on the other side is not recognizing them.

stock rom is fine, when i am pressing the keys it gives a long dtmf code and recognized.

2.1 version has also errors too with dtmf. i am pressing the key and only a short tone is playing to the other side.

where can i give the bug to the authors?

thanks
[Motorola Droid 4] alteredlikeness:
Updated to final release 2.2 - no more code changes from the SlimRoms team on 4.3.1 builds..

Only on AFH for the time being.
[Motorola Droid 4] Shobai:
Sorry, I'm feeling slow this evening; you're saying that there's no difference between this and the 2.1 build?
[Motorola Droid 4] alteredlikeness:
Sorry, I worded it poorly..

This is the final update for the jellybean 4.3 builds - the Slim team is focusing on kitkat 4.4 now.. And so am I and a few others for the moto omap4 devices.

And, yes, there were some code changes since the last 2.1 build - both in the main slimroms source and the local devices. Specifically, for maserati, the cdma.mk was removed..

New SlimKat pre-alpha test builds uploaded for maserati. (All of my 4.4 test builds will be uploaded here)

Grab the proper 4.4 Gapps, install on a non-main system with BMM or SS, and let me know how it goes...

Thanks to dhacker29 and stargo for bringing up the moto omap4's..
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Trying out slimkat. All seems well. Only things missing are keyboard backlight, screen shot from power menu and of course the inverted apps and blacked out options but other than that seems OK. Oh and ART doesn't work with this gapps and build. Well at least for me it didn't. Anyways thanks for all the hard work you all put into these things!
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
On slimkat. Google voice search keeps saying cannot reach Google at this time.
[Motorola Droid 4] COMpulse:
Just jumped from CM11 to SlimKat. I needed more customization options. So far, so good. Seems like a daily driver.

Reboot into Recovery doesn't work for me. I end up with a little green android with a red exclamation mark. Can anyone confirm?

EDIT: Confirming the above. Google Voice Search not working.
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Confirming reboot into recovery ends up in droid with exclamation mark. Tried all the voice search "fixes" no go and still not working
[Motorola Droid 4] alteredlikeness:
New SlimKat build for maserati uploaded: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760973543

I will try to update the OP later.. See RAZR or Atrix 2 threads for new gapps links.
[Motorola Droid 4] COMpulse:
Looks like the same issues remain. Reboot to recovery leads to sad android. No voice search / speech to text.

SlimBean - touchscreen issue?

G'day guys, hoping someone can help me out...

I ran Slimbean in Slot 1 for a few weeks and really liked it, although the battery drain was greater than stock and the WiFi issue was a bit annoying. I had to travel overseas for a weekend, so to make it easier on myself I switched back to stock while I was overseas as I'd be relying on WiFi for communication.

I just switched back to Slimbean, booted into Slot 1, last night and I'm having an issue with the touchscreen; it doesn't register any input while the keyboard is slid out, and as soon as I slide the keyboard home again the touchscreen works fine. This did not happen when I first tried Slimbean and it's never happened with stock - any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

I rebooted into recovery and wiped dalvik etc, but that didn't help. I downloaded build 2.2, wiped system and dalvik etc and installed 2.2 but the issue is still there. What other options do I have?

Thanks for your help!

[edit: wiped the ROM slot and installed Slimkat, same issue there. Wiped again and installed Slimbean, same issue. Rebooted to stock and now the issue is there as well =/ It's there as soon as I boot into the Slim ROMs, before I can even choose language.]

[edit2: with the issue cropping up in all ROMs I've tried, what are the chances it's a hardware issue rather than a software issue? How would I go about completely wiping the phone to rule out the software/firmware?]

[edit3: well, this is interesting! I noticed, while using Viber, that the phone does seem to remember presses on the touchscreen: i can type a message on the physical keyboard and hit 'send' but nothing will happen. Without touching anything else, I can slide the keyboard closed and the message will send while the app changes orientation. This suggests to me that it is software, rather than hardware.]

Can't get 3G working

Maybe someone can help me.. I am on PagePlus so 4G isn't going to work, but they use the SAME 3G settings as Verizon. I set the mobile network mode to CDMA auto like I usually have to with Custom ROMs and the 3G still doesn't work. I also can't get into the APN settings because its not selectable. I REALLY like 4.4 and I would hate to have to stop using it because I can't get data working. Is there something really dumb that I am missing or am I just simply out of luck? Any APN app I download from the market just crashes instantly, I assume because its trying to read APN settings and can't because its getting denied somewhere. Help would be much appreciated.
[Motorola Droid 4] COMpulse:
I would try setting network mode to Global. But I would also recommend trying CM11 in a different slot. I think some of the 4.4 roms had problems with 3G at first.
[Motorola Droid 4] beflythis:
am on slimkat and running with no issues.... except the screen resolution (dpi?) is default (large), and not slim at all! :( how can i fix this? tried flashing the .zip once more but no luck.

SlimKat Awesomeness

So I jumped to SlimKat beta 1.1 and now 1.5 as my first Slim ROM after the last 1+ years on Eclipse ROM. Knowing this is beta my expectations were to find a handful of bugs but I've gotta say this is a whole lot cleaner than I expected. Awesome work by all.

After a couple days now here are the only issues I can report:

1) I can't figure out how to make camera save pictures to external SD. Following directions as earlier in this thread there is no SD card like picture for me in any level of the camera settings menu. So, did this disappear in the jump to SlimKat from SlimBean or is there something up with my phone?

2) If I try to use GPS when I have no LTE signal it will never lock until I reboot, wait for LTE and try again.

Otherwise things are running great.
[Motorola Droid 4] wolf45801:
if you flash the 4.4 from stargo we got 3g working cause I to am using pageplus he sent the merge to cynogenmod to be merged into the tree
[Motorola Droid 4] Krooked247:
Thanks for continuing to build this for us. I know a lot of people are using it and checking for updates. Just wanted to say its really cool you take the time to do this and thanks a lot.

Krooked All Day...
[Motorola Droid 4] alteredlikeness:
Updated to beta2.

Camera has some issues with focus and settings.. I will try to get a fix zip or rebuild later today.

This build hopefully includes some fixes for BT, external sdcard, and WiFi tether..
[Motorola Droid 4] Krooked247:
Experiencing occasional back button not working at times, but then working again seconds later.

Screen/image problems. Screen image breaking and flickering.

Reboot is a temporary fix.

External SD now recognized correctly(reading in GB's instead of MB's) and no longer have free space issues.

Fresh created slot 1. SS 3.65

Everything wiped.

Is there a hold back to kill option? I'm pretty sure I didn't see one, was just wondering if it was something I missed.

Thanks again.

Edit: Just realized the lockscreen unlocks to opposite shortcuts while in landscape(8 lock ring targets)

Krooked All Day...

Running Build 29DEC2013:

- hardware keyboard backlight is not working; no option to change that (major)

- backbutton does not work on quick panel (minor)

- no battery bar (minor)

That's all I noticed for now.
[Motorola Droid 4] Krooked247:
Thanks for the new build.

Krooked All Day...
[Motorola Droid 4] alteredlikeness:
Yup. Beta 2.3 just finished uploading. Looking good on edison and the spyders so far..

Thanks to stargo for the major updates..
[Motorola Droid 4] Shobai:
Shows up on Goo.im but not AFH; is this expected? This is the same as several previous releases
[Motorola Droid 4] alteredlikeness:
Yes. Goo is my default host site lately - I get corrupted uploads on AFH from my home network often.

But, the new build has been mirrored on AFH..
[Motorola Droid 4] Shobai:
Ah, fantastic =) I hope I'm not being a pain, but is there any chance you could update the first post changelog? Thanks heaps for your work!
[Motorola Droid 4] alteredlikeness:
Updated to Beta 2.4 on goo.

New slim gapps also available.
[Motorola Droid 4] Hawkje:
I am currently running the latest version, works really well, smooth and fast.

The issues I encountered:

- No Keyboard backlight, however when I use "LED Easy Director" I can turn it on manually (/sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight)

- Wifi does not see all networks, however when I use 'Wifi Analyzer' it does see the networks

- Wifi seems unstable, got to disconnect and connect again every now and then

Some details: SafeStrap ROM1, rooted device, using on GSM in Europe (needed GSM-Fix).
[Motorola Droid 4] ian3d:
I flashed 2.5 in ROM slot 2 (not sure if it matters) and I can't seem to get a connection to google. Data works fine to browse the web but I can't activate to get into play store. Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid 4] alteredlikeness:
Updated to build 2.6.RC2.

The keyboard lights should hopefully be fixed, along with the WiFi drops/scan issues (again, hopefully). Let me know how it goes..
[Motorola Droid 4] Krooked247:
Thanks again man. You're a HUGE part of keeping this D4 alive.

Krooked All Day...
[Motorola Droid 4] Hawkje:
Installed 2.6.RC2, same issues sadly enough:

- No Keyboard backlight

- Wifi does not see all networks

Not sure about the other wifi issues since I did not run it long enough (went back to previous ROM).
[Motorola Droid 4] alteredlikeness:
Thanks for the update.

Apparently, SlimRoms have not incorporated any of the physical keyboard backlight code.. Seeing what I can do..
[Motorola Droid 4] Hawkje:
That explains something... I did some searching and could not find an easy fix yet. As a workaround I am using "Backlight Off", an app you can download from Google Play. It enables you to switch the keyboard backlight on and off, so you can use the backlight when you need it.
[Motorola Droid 4] alteredlikeness:
Yea, found this (line 2173): https://github.com/SlimRoms/framewo...d/server/power/PowerManagerService.java#L2173 - "Do nothing." - and I can see why.. It's a mess trying to find the code to bring it back. But, I just finished up a new build for you guys.. And, for the love of all things holy, that keyboard better light up this time...

It will take about an hour or so to upload to Goo.im. Make sure it matches the MD5 sum below before downloading (and after downloading).

Slim-maserati-4.4.2.build.2.6.RC2-UNOFFICIAL-20140205-2107.zip

MD5: b9cf1b3e563222e94df2f975ed5e9408

Also, check if wifi scan/drop issue and mobile hotspot (tether) are fixed.. I'm starting a new build for myself and gone to bed.
[Motorola Droid 4] Hawkje:
I did a really quick check on keyboard alone, but it did not seem to work. I will test some more later (went back to my other ROM slot now). Would it be an option to do some testing from an ADB shell with certain files or commands to see what changes need to be made?
[Motorola Droid 4] alteredlikeness:
Hmmmm.. Damn. I might need to dig into libhardware also.

Actually, if someone wouldn't mind taking a slight risk.. You can try taking libhardware.so and libhardware_legacy.so from the latest CM11 build for maserati (from /system/lib), and push them to the right place with the right permissions in this latest Slim build. And let me know if the keyboard lights up.

On a positive note, looks like mobile hotspot is starting up without a patch (at least on edison it is).
[Motorola Droid 4] X_Files:
In build 20140205-2107 keyboard backlight works well. Good work :good:
[Motorola Droid 4] alteredlikeness:
Wait... Really?! Very cool.

And, not that I don't believe you, but can someone else confirm this?

And any noticeable improvements to wifi?
[Motorola Droid 4] X_Files:
I've install it on clean rom-slot2 with Safestrap 3.65, for now, all works great. So I will try it for more time and let you know, when I have some issue.
[Motorola Droid 4] aszelinski:
Just downloaded and flashed the Slim-maserati-4.4.2.build.2.6.RC2-UNOFFICIAL-20140205-2107.zip build and the keyboard does light up! Sorry for the blurry pic.

Ha haa! Thanks for the proof pic!

Never thought I'd be so happy to see some random person's keyboard light up on a phone that I don't own.. :) Nice.

No, THANK YOU alteredlikeness for your work on this ROM!!! Can't wait to flash your next release. :)
