My phone sometimes vibrates for like 10 seconds non-stop (and it feels like 100%) when I get a notification using SlimKat 6.8, has anyone else experienced something likes this?

I've experienced this 3 times so far.

Which kernel?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] JG:
New Slim Gapps beta

http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/1251-addons/downloads/dlsearch
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Naxiz:
Stock Slim kernel, first I thought it was only with one specific app but the last time was with another app.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
I haven't personally noticed this, and right now mako is my main device. What level of you have Vib set up? Did you mess with min vibration duration
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] akshaybz:
Hey guys,

Just noticed that Alarm volumes can't be changed in Vibrate or Silent mode.

Used to work earlier :/

Can someone revert that please?

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Emama:
Is there an option that in vibrate mode all notification will vibrate ignoring its own setting?

I set all IM not vibrate, but I want them vibrate in vibrate mode.

I thought I see it in slimrom, or did I think of another ROM?

landscape keyboard

Hi,

i am having issues with the landscape keyboard of this rom. The little popups don't show up when I longpress keys. Is this a known bug? I have seen some guy in this forum mention it before but I think there was no solution found for this...

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------

was this issue ever solved? I have been dealing with this for a long time. I am on newest stable clean flashed.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ezio84:
Josue [MENTION=3877985]prbassplayer[/MENTION] i've seen you added a new branch for the mako kernel: kk4.4-kiss.

It's the linaro4.8 version, right? :D

When i started my "building journey" (lol) I initialized the local repo with:

repo init -u git://github.com/SlimRoms/platform_manifest.git -b kk4.4

Now, when i build by myself, how can i use the new kernel branch (kk4.4-kiss) instead of the previous one?

Thanks for your amazing work on our mako :highfive:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] NeBouse:
Nevermind...

As suggested by Ezio84 i've installed Ubuntu on a virtual machine (running win7 here) and i'm actually syncing the repo.

He was kind enough to provide me a short tutorial.

First time on linux for me, but i like to learn new things ;)

Wish i'll be able to push to gerrit once everything is settled.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] chinesedevil:
It was never fixed and don't think it will ever be fixed or can be fixed. You will just have to get used to it.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] NeBouse:
Well...

My PC doesn't like very much a virtual machine.

I was syncing the repo and it suddenly stopped, after 2 hours of downloading...

Of course everything got f**** up.

I think i'll try to make a dual boot with ubuntu later, might be more stable.

Btw, i'm still trying to push to gerrit, but i'm stuck with this error :

So if someone could help me...

(i'm on win7, running commands from git shell)

I've already tried the hint, commit-msg is here in my .git folder, but i still get this error...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
As it should compile but it's, right now just stock Google kernel, with a bunch of fixed warnings/errors. Current kernel uses Linaro 4.8, it has for the longest. I'm playing around with some things Hence the new name

That looks like you tried to upload a commit to Gerrit. If so just do as the screen stays and run that scp command and amend the commit in question
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] NeBouse:
Thanks, but that's where my problem is.

I did run that scp command, i even did it twice...

But i still get the same error.

I've checked in the .git/hooks/ folder and commit-msg is present, so it looks like the scp command was successful, but i still get this error if i try to push to gerrit...

Any idea ?

Sorry to bother you once again, but i'm so new to this...

I've deleted everything and trying to start fresh, running the scp command first ^^
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
You need to amend the commit, as in git commit --amend
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] NeBouse:
Yeah figured that by re-reading your post and asking google what was amending a commit.

Time to sleep now, will try again tomorrow.

I'm always interested in learning new things.

Thx again

EDIT :

Damn...

Now i get this message

A lot of thanks to [MENTION=2095315]ezio84[/MENTION] who has given me the correct steps from the beginning...that was me who wasn't following properly his steps...i finally figured it !!!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ezio84:
Nice :laugh:

Finally :highfive:

Linux is a better environment for these things :D
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ahepas:
Linux is better not only for building/compiling stuff, I think Ezzio knows that, try it your self...and enjoy.cheers.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ezio84:
Little OT: i'm using linux as the main OS since a few months, there are a lot of things i like a lot, e.g. the file manager (Dolphin on OpenSuse).

And you can configure all the system as you want :good:

It's also a good way to understand Android :laugh:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] NeBouse:
[OT] Well to be honest i'm still on win7 ^^

Couldn't get that damn virtual machine to run properly (i think my laptotp is not powerful enough, just a simple i3 with 6GB or RAM)

I have found a workaround.

I've installed github for windows and git for windows.

With the github app i can sync whatever i want directly from the github website by a simple click.

Then i do my modifications with notepad++

When i'm done, a right click in the directory allows me to open the git bash and enter the commands to push to gerrit.

That's easy once you know how to do lol.

Btw, i've tried a little bit Ubuntu on the virtual machine, and found it nice, so i'm still planning to make a dual boot with it on my laptop, to discover a little more Linux (still need win7 for the wife and kids lol) [/OT]

EDIT : i'm in the process of pushing what's left to be translated, but i'm not totally sure i did things correctly, so i'll wait for someone to confirm it's OK, i don't want to put the gerrit in a mess lol
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ahepas:
Dual boot then... It's easy and makes the transition easier... Make a 20g partition on ur HDD and install a distro of your like... I use kubuntu, ezzio uses open suse...plenty of distros and de to choose from...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Tak3r07:
[MENTION=2360351]NeBouse[/MENTION]

Download the tool "unetbootin" and the Linux of your choice (Ubuntu and it's derivates preferred for beginners). Plug in an USB and flash the iso file of the Linux system onto the USB with unetbootin.

If you have chosen Ubuntu or one of its derivates you can simply restart your computer, press F12 while bootup (or whatever key gets you to the boot menu). Choose the USB on which you have flashed the live Linux system. Now you will see a menu and choose install "....".

This will boot up the Linux system and gets you to the (really really simple for Ubuntu) installer. It will recognize your existing Windows OS and let to choose to "keep Win7 and install XYZ - buntu next to it". This does all the dualboot partitioning for you and sets proper Grub2 (bootloader) tables.

After the installer has finished reboot your machine. At each boot you now can choose between Win7 and Linux!

If you get problems though, you may google the errors and find a solution in less than a blink [emoji6]
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] NeBouse:
Thanks !!

Really nice.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
That's what Gerrit is for. Review changes before fixing so don't worry if it isn't perfect (this is why many commits end up with 20 patchset LOL) ;)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ezio84:
Ok, another noob question for you :D

I want to send a patch for a not merged commit like this one by [MENTION=2360351]NeBouse[MENTION] :

https://gerrit.slimroms.net/#/c/12322/

(there are some trailing whitespaces).

If i follow these steps:

- cherrypick the commit

- edit the file to fix it

- git add slim_strings.xml

- git commit --amend

- git push ssh://XXX@gerrit.slimroms.net:29418/SlimRoms/packages_apps_Settings HEAD:refs/for/kk4.4

it gives me an error (unpack failed - missing tree).

Am i doing it in the wrong way?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Should work... rm -rf packages and repo sync. Try again.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ezio84:
Got it!

It was probably messed up :silly:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] NeBouse:
Great, now i know what are trailing spaces by watching the diff ^^

I have a question too.

I've tried to sync frameworks_base with my github app but everytime it failed (some time out story after a few minutes).

So i've downloaded the zip directly from the github site and unziped it in my work folder.

I knew i had to sync it with the remote repository on github so i asked google and found somme git commands to execute inside the frameworks_base repository.

This is what i did :

git init
git remote add origin https://github.com/SlimRoms/frameworks_base
git pull
git reset

It created the .git folder, downloaded the whole stuff again (:confused:) but at the end i had some messages telling it needed some more actions about branch sync, can't remember...

And it still doesn't appear on my github app, so i believe it's not synced...

Basically, i have the whole repository downloaded on my computer, what commands do i need to sync it with the remote repository ?

(sorry for bothering you with a git lesson lol):D
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ezio84:
:highfive:

Just avoid whitespaces at the end of each row (i use Kate for Linux but you can show them -and automatically delete them- with Notepad++ for Windows).

On Linux i type "repo sync" in the terminal to download/sync all my files with the Slim merged code on github, doesn't it work in your Windows app?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] NeBouse:
Thanks, i will have a look in the Notepad++ settings.

(EDIT: found it, really useful)

Nope, the github app (it's something different of the git app) on windows doesn't work that way, it's very user friendly, no terminal needed, just a "sync" button to press, but in my case it doesn't work with the frameworks_base repo, it throws me an error (time out) after some minutes of downloading.

It does this only with this repo, it worked with the others.

(and i don't want to have the whole slim code downloaded, only the parts that i need, where translations are needed).

This is how the app looks :

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Naxiz:
I discovered it vibrates until I turn my screen on. This has only happened 4 times now, so it's very rare. I only set vibration level to 75%.

Today I flashed build 7 so maybe it's fixed now. Also, it doesn't really annoy me, I just thought it may have been a bug. If I'm the only one experiencing this I'll just do a clean flash some time soon.

Another issue: I flashed build 7 with the new gapps but the Play Store isn't dark anymore? Even after switching TRDS off and on. Anyone else experiencing the same or is it just me again? :P
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] oxxshadow:
Oh I see now thanks! BTW what is is difference between gapps and gapps beta?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Naxiz:
Oh, thanks! Guess Google doesn't want us to mess with their apps? :p

Would suck if TRDS would get removed because all Google Apps get encrypted. But what other options are there? :(
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] stevepwolf:
n/m - fixed
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ezio84:
Latest beta gapps package (.187) is now the official one :p
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
They aren't encrypting it. They add new things, once in a while this new things will not agree with how we decompile. apktool needs to be updated thats all. Will take time but it will happen eventually.

Beta just mean they are updating as soon as possible for the maintainer, and aren't tested much. So they could have problems. Personally they've been fine for me, very rarely do problem arise.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Rohit02:
Mate wtf have you done to the kernel..

I give open chalenge to all other custom kernel users to match my stats.. 5sot with 22hrs 5% remaining and all on data,sync always on..

Battery dies on wireless charger

Hoping someone can offer some clue as to what's going on with my Nexus 4.

I have a wireless charger that was working fine with a Nexus 5 for a month or so (since I bought it). I recently switched back to my Nexus 4 and when I put the phone on the charger, it starts sucking down the battery until the phone dies. At first I thought it was the N4 polycarbonate case that it just couldn't charge through, and that it just stopped charging at some point, but now I see from the screenshot that it was actually "charging," it's just that the battery was being drained (apparently by the charger) at the same time.

This is not the same issue as the wakelock AFTER removing from the charger.

It's dying on the charger -- you can see in the screenshot that the moment I put it on the charger, it started dying. At the bottom of the red (about 4am I think), I put it back on the USB charger and it started to charge normally again. The only other post I've been able to Google on this was one without an answer. The battery stats show 24% screen, 11% voice calls, 10% Android System, 9% Android OS, 6% Google Services, 5% Phone idle, 3% Cell Standby. All the other apps are below those. I guess that's kind of weird in and of itself...

I'm on the most recent Slim weekly.

UPDATE: Seems to happen on all AOSP ROMs. Wireless charging only seems to work fine on CM11 builds for some reason.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Emama:
Nexus 4 has a bad wireless charging ability.

I have a Nokia wireless charger and doesn't charge my N4 at all.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] TheMegosh:
Thank you for the update Slim team! I really appreciate all you've done for the devices you serve. Back when the Galaxy s1 was booming I loved slim and still do.

I'm also happy to see that you fixed the Play Store auto update issue that's been bugging me for months!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
It was never broken, it was disabled on purpose
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] spg900ny:
Wow. Really? I was hoping it was a ROM issue possibly, that by switching it would behave properly.

Wanted to check in here before I took the time to do that, just to see.

Was going to possibly try a CM11 ROM, since Slimkat is AOSP.

It just seems if this was really an issue with the N4 that it would be noted everywhere.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Naxiz:
Has anyone tried both the Slim and Semaphore kernel? Semaphore was my favorite kernel on my SGS, but the Slim kernel has a great battery life on my N4. Is Semaphore worse?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ahepas:
Try it ur self and inform... But in my opinion, slim kernel is very good...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Stratos is a great kernel Dev, I'm using his ondemand, and interactive (with a Franco tweak).
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] earlgrey_44:
I use slim kernel out of respect for the idea of how to integrate the two that the devs have, and as many have noted it's hard to imagine better results. Since Stratos' dt2w was implemented by the Slimteam, I have also used Semaphore Manager for kernal control. Even SAI works on this ROM.

Hadn't heard that before. Nice of you to give the recognition to those guys.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Stratos is a great person. He answered a great deal of questions early on and helped me a lot. Big props to him and his work
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Midomad:
Startos was the reason i changed my SGS to Nexus 4 [emoji4]
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Also to be clear the release kernel doesn't have his ondemand/interactive patches. It's on a test kernel I'm messing with
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ahepas:
Στράτος...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] abhishek24dogra:
How do i enable dt2w on slim kernel??? Trickster mod isnt giving me any such option to enable that....
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mko000:
Do it in terminal or with a script or use Semaphore Kernel Manager.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] chinesedevil:
Anyone here use semaphore kernel manager? Trying to figure out how to work the SAI settings for proximity sensor. Is it working for anyone else? I tried different values for the proximity near and proximity far settings and tried imitating phone in pocket and in open space. It always seem to vibrate at the same strength. What is the proper way of setting it up?

Is this just a semaphore kernel feature and isn't part of slim kernel?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] VR6slammage:
Sorry for bursting into this thread with this, but where can I download just the slim kernel? I'd like to use it on a stock ROM but cannot pinpoint a link.
