I've had 2 random reboot which of none was phone in pocket, feels like deep sleep is finally working as it should. Yes you need to input pin after a random reboot. I recommend flashing Mpokang 1080p version (currently using it and the rom flies) If you dont mind few graphical bugs which doesnt really stop you from using this daily youre fine to go. High mobile data usage has caused one of my random reboots, probably cpu heating too much so it gets stuck and just forces reboot. Also battery has been fine for me so far. Depends of usage and how long your GNex has been in use.

Yes, you need to keep the CWM recovery so you can flash the new ROM updates. For a while, at least - until Slim is stable and they include the OTA app in the ROM.

Just made a hacked together framework-res that does the following:

Enables lockscreen navigation bar and status bar transparency

Enables all rotations

Enables lock screen rotation

Flash in recovery (flashable not tested but should work)

I think he means can he switch back to TWRP. Some are saying that the latest version works with TWRP, not sure though. I'd wait if I were you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sumeshpremraj:
This is an early alpha build for a device that isn't even supported. We have the old 3.0.x kernel instead of the new 3.4 kernel that runs on N4 and N5. The kernel is a large part of the memory and battery optimizations. Considering the circumstances, it runs really well. Make sure to thank the developer.

RAM usage is around 300-320 MB after reboot - that is as good as SlimBean 4.3 stable was. I can't wait to see how much better the Slim team makes the already efficient KitKat :)

If Chrome is too resource intensive for you, try Opera Mobile or Dolphin. I tend to use the former as a fallback.

That new feature in the Galaxy nexus, spends a lot of battery? Or almost nothing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sumeshpremraj:
A friend of mine on Nexus 4 said older TWRP didn't allow flashing 4.4, but the latest version does. I'm sticking with the latest CWM for now, as we know it works.

Answers:

1. When using certain apps like settings or gapps. There is often screen distortion or partially black screen before the reboot happens.

2. No reboots or freeze when in my pocket. I think so.

3. No, but i do not use Sim-PIN

4. Kernel comes with Rom and seems ok.

Reboots and partial black screens need urgent fix.

GPS needs fix too, i get no Signal.

Everything else is great!

This framework works great, [MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] should include it once he has time and a break from surfaceflinger.:good:

P.S. No offense, but once I tried lockscreen rotation, it seems like a bad idea. I like the fact you can rotate your phone, but heck, there's a lot of artifacting going on during rotation (more than when rotating anything else) and the layout seems to be screwed up(neither of these are [MENTION=3563640]Quinny899[/MENTION] 's fault, but I feel it might be better to leave out lockscreen rotation until there errors are fixed).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Shouldn't be that much I guess, since it's only active on the Stock Launcher and in Google Now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubikqj:
It's weird because everyone is talking about random reboots but I didn't get one. On the other hand, someone says GPS is working, while I was able to get a fix with Satstat after 370 seconds (more than 6 minutes). Maps and GPS test weren't able to get a fix. This happened with both the stock kernel and Mpokang.

Apart from this issue and the weird one with the HTML viewer (which doesn't allow me to use Feedly, for instance) everything is great and works like a charm. Thank you Slimbean devs! I'll use this as a daily driver and report back in a day or two.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InvaderPastulio:
I'm really impressed, yes, it's buggy still, but considering it's an Alpha...

It looks fantastic, it's snappy buttery beautiful. Haven't tested much, Viber doesn't seem to be able to access gps-location, might be some new permissions thing I'm unaware of or Viber not being compatible with 4.4.

Facebook, Spotify, Messenger, Whatsapp, Viber, DropBox, LinkedIn, Insgram, Swiftkey seem to work fine.

Upon screen rotation it has some artifacts. As for everyday use I'll see tomorrow :)

I've had crashes while saving screenshots and going into settings.

Thank you! I'm impressed, you were quick :)

Strange, do i need to do something to get GPS working?

I attached a screenshot of the partial black screen. It happens only in certain apps like Gmail:

Before a reboot the device freezes for around five seconds. There must be a certain event which causes the freeze only in certain apps or situations (e.g. scrolling?).

Logcats on Galaxy Nexus attached.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChanceStad:
I believe that is only for incoming calls. When a business calls you, it does a reverse lookup for that number to try and attach business info to the call display.

Also, I got GPS working! It seems the problem is that we never actually were prompted to allow the phone to access our location. Here's what I did to get it to prompt...

I turned off Location.

Went into Apps, Maps, and cleared the data, also force stopped, but that probably isn't necessary.

Rebooted the phone.

Opened Maps, and it prompted me to turn location on, so I did.

About 30 seconds later(longer than normal) it prompted me to allow access to my location.

Worked perfectly after that.

Hope this helps.

Edit: stopped working after a reboot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Na it really allows you search for them.

This is what the promo text says.

The thing about checking the incoming number is listed as a feature on its own.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChanceStad:
Hmmm. Maybe it doesn't work because it doesn't have our location?

Also, my "fix" for GPS only lasted until a reboot. :'(

People, after finish installing SlimKat, can i flash back the Stock recovery (from the 4.3 Factory Image)?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] youStolemylaptop:
Is there a way to access the recovery? When I turn off my phone it goes into download mode. And I have no computer ATM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rakpere:
You can boot into recovery by pressing VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER to get into bootloader, then use volume keys to select reboot recovery and confirm the selection with power key. Second method: If you are on rooted rom, get terminal from store and type in "su" allow the super user request after that type in "reboot recovery" that command reboots your device into recovery

I am using graraks rom but it might just help those having gps issues as well....

Those who are having gps problem I suggest test it outside first, prior to this Kitkat I was already having issues with my gps when im inside my house. After trying several ways to make it work I finally tried using TopNTP with different settings but this seemed to have worked with Global Generic General Google configuration it locked gps while in my room although now it doesnt again(inside the house). But minutes ago I was able to use gps on ingress even preformed a lot better than before but when I got inside the house it didnt work again so I tried going out and it worked again. I am not sure if TopNTP really did the trick bec I did not test it outside first. When I get to the office it will give me more answer I guess. I hope this helps... ty

Guys again thank you for your great work! ahihihihi

Okay, This is still working, but now it only really works outside.

Dev. , great work on getting us some 4.4 love so fast . Installed last night with all elements from the op only ( no outside kernel or gapps) , had the known graphics issues as expected . Gps locked in on my position faster than this phone ever has without resorting to a 3rd party app , and in about an hour of use only had 1 reboot .

Then I realized that I had no mobile data and couldn't get it to work. I just switched to Straight Talk a couple days ago so I couldn't remember all the mobile network settings , restored my backup , verified everything was working properly on my 4.3 build , then flashed Slimkat again. Same issue , no mobile data. I copied the settings exactly as they were previously , still nothing. Checked IMEI , it was good, restored nandroid again , everything works.

If anyone knows something else I might try please let me know , I never had any problems switching ROM's with Tmo and other than having to set ST APN I'm out of ideas and attributing my problem to the Alpha status of this ROM, and anxiously awaiting being able to use it in the near future.

Dev; if theres any info from my system that would assist you on working on this awesome effort please let me know , I didn't think a logcat would show whats happening in this case , so I don't have one, I could flash this again if it would help.

Thanks a lot

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acras13:
This might be the reason WE can't use ART , but I would assume ( and you know where that will get me) that Android has to be able to use ART , or why would Google bother with implementing it into 4.4? There has to be something that is not being transferred over to Maguro , perhaps within the kernel? Or some other element that hasn't been been brought over from 4.4 yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sd3993:
Maybe that's EXACTLY why it's in the developer options instead of being exposed to the end users :P

Maybe Google is aware of this bug/issue/shortcoming(whatever it might be).

I wish someone had access to a nexus 5 to test whether ART gives problems there too or if it's only on Maguro and maybe on Mako,Flo etc.
