[Motorola Droid 4] Hawkje:
Keyboard light works great, thanks for fixing that, could you describe what you did? Because this seems to be an issue for multiple ROMs and might re-surface in the future. Would be nice to have the solution listed here.

The latest ROM has huge WiFi issues for me, I need to keep resetting WiFi to keep it going and it still doesn't see half of my WiFi APs.

Another thing I noticed on the keyboard usage is that the light next to the "Caps Lock" button doesn't work completely like it should:

Working correct: When pressing Shift once, the light turns on, after pressing one key the light turns off.

Working correct: When pressing Shift twice, the light turns on and it stays on when typing (since caps has been turned on).

Not working correct: When pressing "Caps Lock", the light does not turn on, but the keyboard is in caps mode.

Not sure how this works, but it looks like the Caps Lock button needs the same light switchs as when the Shift button is pressed twice.
[Motorola Droid 4] xantanion:
Most of the time the keyboard backlight just needs to be turned on in the buttons menu in settings.
[Motorola Droid 4] Hawkje:
Can you give some more info on this? Because this just sounds like something that does not make any sense at all in this context.
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
There is a setting in the button menu that allows you to manually change the physical keyboard brightness. A lot of times its turned all the way off. BTW his post makes perfect sense
[Motorola Droid 4] Hawkje:
In that case: Could you make a screenshot of that setting, preferably running this ROM?
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Even though I'm not using this ROM it'll be the same
[Motorola Droid 4] Hawkje:
Thanks for the screenshots, however, the buttons setting simply is not there in this ROM. So, I guess it is not the same after all.
[Motorola Droid 4] Shobai:
Did reverting to Stock fix this for you? I had this happen while I was on Stock, so I assumed it was simply the earpiece speaker dying - there are a bunch of reports around the 'net that lead me to suspect this is a fairly common problem.
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Odd. I would think all aosp/cm ROMs would have the same settings. Sorry for the misinformation then my friend

[Motorola Droid 4] highlandsun:
Can't send SMS on GSM

I tried Build 3 and now Build 3.2. SMS doesn't work with my 3 Ireland SIM card. Stock JB works fine. The usual GSM build.prop fixes don't seem to help.

Never mind. I installed the full GSM patch and now it's working. (Before, I was only tweaking build.prop. It looks like it's the multi-mode RIL inside the patch that's the secret.)
[Motorola Droid 4] Hawkje:
Tried this one, but the keyboard backlight seems broken again in this build.
[Motorola Droid 4] X_Files:
Keyboard backlight working well for me, but I only upgrade from build 3.0 to 3.2 without full wipe...
[Motorola Droid 4] Hawkje:
It seems I installed it over an old 2.6 version I tried before, without a full wipe. Did a full wipe now and then installed 3.2. Keyboard backlight works fine now.
[Motorola Droid 4] Hawkje:
I am still experiencing WiFi issues with the latest version of the ROM, the WiFi stays connected, but it will become unresponsive pretty often. Which can be solved by turning WiFi off and on, or by waiting till it recovers from it itself. I have no idea what causes this.
[Motorola Droid 4] local444:
Want to switch to this ROM, but it seems that the latest build is having some WiFi issues. Anyone know which version is the most stable? (By the way, how's battery life?)

[Motorola Droid 4] Aximander:
Can anyone tell me how this is working? I've run CM11 on my Razr (currently running Slimkat) but my wife isn't as tolerant of issues as I am and her stock Droid 4 is just sooo slow now. I am looking for a ROM for her phone. Don't care about HDMI, just need phone,data, wifi and gps to work.
[Motorola Droid 4] Sleepybear84:
Yes, reverting back to Stock fixed my issue with the earpiece speaker. Not sure what is causing the issue in SlimKat, but it's pretty important for me. I read someone of at least one other person having that issue.

bug

the gps does not work properly, I have high accuracy and only detects my hubicacion at 2km, my whole city.

please help. :(
[Motorola Droid 4] X_Files:
I have similar problem, GPS working for me, but localisation over Wi-Fi networks is broken. I've made clean install of 4.4 build.
[Motorola Droid 4] bwalz:
I love this rom versus any other but the only problem I'm having is battery drain. On my stock rom it takes 4 hours to go from 100 to 90%. On the slimkat rom from 6am to 10:27am it's down to 68%. It happened on previous versions of the rom and I've installed your latest build. I do have common apps installed but I use a battery app to kill all processes to free up memory and to keep from battery drain. I even disabled auto sync
[Motorola Droid 4] liftman-:
this is what keeps me on stock :'(
[Motorola Droid 4] bwalz:
If auto sync is turned on, it drains my battery pretty fast. I also use battery doctor which uses root to auto close any running apps. But the only apps I have on the slimkat ROM is Facebook, instagram, dashclock, all the updates with gapps, MightyText, greenify, office mobile, Google rewarfds, pushbullet, timely, myverizon, banking apps, chrome and that's about it, time to uninstall and figure out which it is
[Motorola Droid 4] highlandsun:
facebook app is a massive hog, always running in the background. Uninstall that.
[Motorola Droid 4] finndo:
just downloaded this for my wife's D4, thank you very much for building this. I did notice in the build.prop ther are several duplicated lines and also noticesd one little typo in the commented lines "beore" also I flashed the Gapps all in one before first boot, and was prompted to add my gmail account 3 times. Other than that, so far so good (only had it installed for 45 minutes though and spent all of that installing apps) I use Slim on my phone, so was happy to see this here.

I appologize if this has been mentioned, I read the OP and didn't see any of it in there, then installed. too tired right now to try and read this whole thread, and would probably forget it if I waited until tomorrow.
[Motorola Droid 4] X_Files:
I'm using SlimKat for 2 month's. Battery drain in version 4.x is about 1%/h. I'm using Facebook app, Messenger, Google+, Hangouts, IMAP email sync etc...
[Motorola Droid 4] highlandsun:
I get random spontaneous reboots. Seems to have been consistent since I first tried build 3, and I also tried 4.x (4.6, 4.8 at least) and now build 5. Anyone else?
[Motorola Droid 4] alteredlikeness:
New build up on Google Drive.

See slimroms.net for changelog and for new gapps package.

Also, can someone please verify that the slideout keyboard and backlights are working properly in 5.2? The Slim Team made some changes in frameworks/base regarding that, so I needed to rework my fork a bit..
[Motorola Droid 4] raymechanic:
Backlights seems to work but the screen goes black when in a phone call and will not turn on for nothing. I have tried power button, up/down volume, slide out/in and enter. Don't know if it is the phone or the rom if you could help me eliminate the rom it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
[Motorola Droid 4] Hawkje:
Only gave it one try, but the screen came back on here after a call here.

Back-light of keyboard works fine, however the CapsLock light does not, but then again, that was never working correctly in SlimKat (previously the shift-button would turn it on instead of the CapsLock button).

I still got WiFi issues with this ROM, but I will try a totally different ROM to figure out if it might be a hardware issue.
[Motorola Droid 4] Hawkje:
After testing a lot of different apps I found that this app will take care of the WiFi problem:

Not sure yet how bad the impact is on the battery, but this is a start.

Build 6 is up on AFH and Drive.
[Motorola Droid 4] male6363@hotmail.com:
Hello everyboy,

I did try this ROM now... Build6... Look so good and very fast... But i have very serious problem... Is there any way to solve this i wonder...

I want to use bluetooth mouse... I have 2 different brand and models... But on Droid 4; I pair the mouse... But it doesnt work :( and it doesnt write "Connected" under the device name...

Is there any way to fix this problem...

I put 2 different screen shot... One from Droid 4... One from Moto G... Moto G says... "Connected" as you can see on the photo... And mouse works on Moto G...

Any idea?

Thanks a LOT!
[Motorola Droid 4] alteredlikeness:
Funny that you mentioned that - support for Bluetooth accessories was just merged into CM kernel source: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_motorola_omap4-common/tree/cm-11.0

I will get it added in the next build. Otherwise, I'm sure [MENTION=4287139]dtrail1[/MENTION] will include it in JBX soon also.

Hi there. I just got my first droid 4, have been using my droid 3 for years. Rooted, safestrapped, etc - and have had slimkat working on everything BUT mms. It says 'no apn specified on device' . I have searched and read just about all the threads I could find on this, with no real fix found. I'm not sure if it matters that this phone has never run the stock rom...it was flashed out of the box with this and activated at vzw today. Any assistance much appreciated. As I type the new build 7 is flashing right now, crossing fingers that makes a difference, but something tells me I need to refresh a certain file? Thanks

[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
Recently made the jump from eclipse to slimkat. Loving it so far. Everything is working perfectly except 2 small things I noticed:

I cannot access the apn settings and had to manual adjust them via my messaging app for mms use. This was minor and worked great.

The 2nd is the volume, even on 1, is way too loud. I used to have a 15 level volume with eclipse which was awesome and allowed a good amount of custom levels for notifications and calls depending on where I was.

Is there a way to adjust the volume levels so they are lower or to figure out how to possibly import the volume settings from eclipse to allow the 15 level type for better adjustments?
[Motorola Droid 4] highlandsun:
The vanilla install is still set up for Verizon CDMA. You have to edit /system/build.prop and turn telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0 to get Android to treat it correctly as GSM, and then the APN menu will be enabled.

There is a GSM patch floating around here to change the RIL to a pure-GSM RIL but if you use that, you lose CDMA support. Since I still have an account with Verizon in the US, and need both CDMA and GSM to work, I prefer to just tweak the build.prop.
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
I am on verizon as well. For some reason they were not working. It is working now tho. Thanks for tip on the build.prop edit to enable the apn setting. Ill look into that as well
[Motorola Droid 4] highlandsun:
You shouldn't need to edit any APNs on Verizon's network, CDMA doesn't use APNs. That's why the menu is only enabled when you're configured for GSM.
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
I've always had APN settings in my ROMs for Verizon (stock or stock based, such as Eclipse). They use certain ports for MMS. Once I entered that in on my txt app they started working again. Thank you for the help though Highlandsun.

My only concern now is the volume levels I had mentioned before. Is anyone else having this problem with their notifications? Even on 1 they are insanely loud.
[Motorola Droid 4] jaqjacek:
Strange problem with latest rom ( maybe event with those before )

When someone call me and i have phone in my pocket there are no sound.

With strange coincidence a manage to discover that when you hear ringtone on push any of the volumes keys that sound goes to mute immediately.

Other thing maybe some new version ? I want to test that slim launcher :>

Month have pass maybe some new version ?.

alteredlikeness could you give me / us some tips howto cook our own slimkat ? I know that there are tutorials for that on the web but I'm sure there are hand made fixes to apply for some script and a rely like advice from first hand.
[Motorola Droid 4] alteredlikeness:
New build coming tonight (hopefully).

If anyone is interested in building themselves, it's not too difficult. First, you need your Android build environment set up in your Linux machine (plenty of guides for that dependant on your distro).

Then, create a new folder to use as your working directory, open the terminal there, and initialize the proper branch of the rom source. For example: repo init -u git://github.com/SlimRoms/platform_manifest.git -b kk4.4

Create a folder called local_manifests in /.repo (Ctrl+H to view hidden files/folders, of course), and add a local_manifest.xml there that looks like this: https://github.com/MO4/local_manifests/blob/slim4.4/local_manifest.xml (note that you can remove the other devices that you're not building for before syncing - also, only edison needs the vendor fork, the other omap4's can use the vendor repo from TheMuppets directly)

Then, repo sync.

If everything is setup and synced properly:

. build/envsetup.sh

lunch (choose device #)

time make bacon -j3 ("time" shows build time, "-j3" is to run 3 jobs simultaneously dependant on your computer's cores - both are optional)

Currently, this commit needs to be reverted to get a slimkat build to finish: https://github.com/MO4/android_devi...mmit/b67054f69f8b463f026abeb6a205ac0f5ae9e9f8 (I will either revert it on the slim4.4 branch, or dig into it and add it in slim source somewhere) (reverted it for now)

i;ve flashed version 9.0 but i'm having issues with sound.

anyone having these issues?

thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] Oggie7797:
I need my dialer part of the phone to actually work so I downgraded to kitkat....I'm on 9.0 and while I'm on the phone I can only hear the other person if its on speaker. The ear part simply doesn't work. Anyone else?? It isn't a hardware issue.

Edit: turns out, it is hardware. It works again if I tap it somewhat hard a few times. Very smooth rom..
[Motorola Droid 4] JLPDA:
HDMI Support?

I'm thinking of trying this ROM. Since I use AppRadio Unchained Reloaded (ARUR) to mirror my DROID 4 to my Pioneer AppRadio3, I need HDMI support. Does this version of SlimKat now support HDMI?
[Motorola Droid 4] JLPDA:
Great ROM. HDMI works perfect as does screen mirroring with ARUR.
[Motorola Droid 4] ftdn2006:
Thank you for the splendid ROM. I am very grateful for this.
[Motorola Droid 4] K_Meleon:
It's a pity, that the SlimKat firmware is not up-to-date. If you are turning on and off WiFi (even via airplane mode), it can't be turned on anymore after some tries.

How much effort is it, to update SlimKat to the current version? Any docs for this?

Thanx in advance...

It's almost as if these HTC execs or whatever are taunting the owners. Lol. First it was 4.3 by the end of Sept. Then it was 4.2 and Sense 5 by the end of Sept. Then it was by the end of the year. Now there saying maybe 4.3, or even 4.4.

It's not HTC's fault it's Verizon if it were up to them to push updates we would have 4.3 already. It's Verizon who controls it all and they don't do updates so people will go and buy the latest and greatest phone.

Your right man no argument there
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Weather we get 4.4 officially or not (doubt we ever will) I'm sure there are developers who are going to be making 4.4 based roms. That's why most of us are on xda to get the best out of our phones. Either way my dna isn't going anywhere for a long time.
