The one in Slim gapps is AOSP Calendar and the one on Play Store is Google Calendar. First is open source and TRDS, second is not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agritux:
DPI is 320

Slim sets it to 245 but i prefer 320
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr Black'd:
I have dirty flashed from 4.4 to 4.6 (cache, dalvic and system were manually deleted before flashing the rom and the new gapps)

I tried to install google camera from play store and also from the links provided above but it seems that there is another package installed with the same signature and installation can not complete. Any ideas on what to do? I 'd really love to have Photosphere available...

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolek33:
No need to flash photosphere and install new Google camera from playstore. Just flash rom and slim aio and you good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr Black'd:
But I did not flash the photosphere addon. I have wiped the above mentioned and then flashed only the rom and new gapps. I tried to install from Play Store Google Camera but it said that "Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again."

I clicked both OK and Uninstall options but nothing happened.

I have also downloaded the apk and installed it manually and it gave me the message that "An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed".

The only camera that I have is the one that exists in the rom. Should I uninstall it completely and try installing from the store again? Should I flash the camera compatibility fix?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GilGameshn1:
Please read carefully ... Flash ROM --> flash slim gapps --> flash slim photosphere .zip package ... [emoji3]

The play store has nothing to do with this

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr Black'd:
Thanks for all the replies received and sorry for being an ass but I quote the following from SlimRoms site

As far as I understand since I choose to dirty flash I will have to format as usual : cache and dalvic, plus system.

Then flash the rom and the new gapps and then go to play store and install google camera so as to be able to take sphere photos.

I did not see anywhere that I have to flash photosphere zip or the camera compatibility fix.

So after doing as mentioned the installation of google camera was aborted for the reasons already mentioned.

So what do I have to do to have the new google camera installed in my device??

10x in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arnaud1979:
Thanks to dharmabm & Natakranta, I think it's time for me to go back to clean flash to regain my tethering game
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kurre:
No need for fixes or photosphere package or anything else..

Check Settings - Apps, for Camera app (com.google.android.GoogleCamera) and uninstall it if needed. Did you by any change install some modded version of this camera app earlier or something like that?

After removing that app this way you should be able to install it through Play Store. Reboot after uninstalling it, just in case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr Black'd:
Thanks for the reply.

I have searched via settings, apps nothing found. I also searched via Titanium Backup also nothing found. I also searched all root with root explorer and again nothing found. Weird isn't it?

As for the modded version that you ask the only thing that I have installed was durring v 4.4 installation and it was the photosphere addon but since I have wiped system it should not exist after installing v4.6, correct??

So I think that I should wipe again all needed and dirty flash v.4.8 that has been released and see if problem persists.

EDIT:

It seems that issue persists after dirty flashing the latest version too... maybe I should clean flash... :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natakranta:
I dirty flashed 4.6 over 4.4 (4.0 was probably LST clean flash. I don't remember) on my wife's Maguro. No problem with installing Google camera from play store, but I don't have HDR in options. Could anybody with Google camera on GNex confirm working HDR? Anybody and I'm motivated to do a clean flash, hell yeah, even fastboot flash factory images to have clean start :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drmxmyt:
hdr doesnt show up on gnex, google says our hardware wouldnt support it so dunno.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natakranta:
Yeah, the same way it wouldn't support KitKat ;)

Support my a... Google :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kurre:
You could also check /data/app for a com.google.android.GoogleCamera-1.apk file and delete it if it exists there. You can use root capable file explorer or adb to do that.

Check also /data/data for a com.google.android.GoogleCamera folder and remove it also. After that you should be free of that app. After that you could also boot to the recovery and wipe caches to be 100% sure that there isn't any traces left (although reboot should be enough).

But doing a clean install wouldn't be a bad idea either..it's a good thing to do every now and then :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ashtrix:
So guys is the new 4.8 Update better than 4.6 ?

P.S : My phone flies with the 4.6 Build, I can flash it but the net has it's FUP exhausted...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EAK128:
Yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hardstyle86:
SlimKat 4.8 + Fancy r45 seems very good. ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kufikugel:
Well indeed maguro is hardware wise not able to do HDR shots... Only solution which will work would be a software solution but the final photo result on software solutions is simply far far away from native hardware support.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natakranta:
Thanks a million for your reply! It's good to see you back posting.

So the HDR on GNex is a lost case :(

If recently announced One+One gets Slim sport I may consider it and pass Nexus 5 to my wife. GNex is showing its age.

LOL, I only consider purchase of devices with Slim support :)

On a side note I dirty flashed 4.8 on my wife's Maguro yesterday. So far so good = she is not yelling at me that I did something to her phone, again :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluesock:
Hey, I have seen in the camera app there is not only jpeg but also the option "RAW". But it doesn't work here.

Is this anyway never supposed to work and just wrongly shown as an option, or is it actually broken, and should usually work with the GNex ?

It would be really great to take raw pictures for better postprocessing capabilities! (I am used to using raw from my DSLR, of course the phone will be not that good, but at least the option would help. Better than nothing, if I only have the phone with me)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agritux:
[MENTION=4790322]kufikugel[/MENTION] i want to report an unimportant bug. i have made a clean installation.

Enter Settings>wireless&networks>more...>mobile network settings and click national data roaming. Than you can not clikc anywhere. You must go back and enter again to mobile network settings. Because after selecting it, every setting becomes nonclickable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolek33:
Yep. Same on Hammerhead
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gauravraw:
is the dialer-appearing lag still there when phone is sleeping and a call comes, in the build 4?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bl4ck3urn:
It's not a SlimKat bug. The In-Call delay issue persist on all ROMS for our device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gauravraw:
if you say so. So the lcd density of this ROM is lower like it was in the last build? If I make it default to 320, will it break the display-style of this one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qu4nd:
320 works fine
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Charmacas:
Could you please look into temp sensor support?

Always first, once again congratulations for the stable and configurable Rom as a wish. Just a quick question in passing, I'm on the weekly Version 4.6 (3841) with minimum gaps 4. Is it possible to screen rotation function with the dialer?

Not at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gauravraw:
So I did a clean install of the latest version of this ROM but can't seem to connect to my cell phone service provider for making calls. The funny thing is that data connection is working, so it shouldn't be a radio problem. Tried resetting the phone. Re-flashing the ROM but the same problem. What am I missing?

After searching, it's a common problem but haven't been able to find the fix yet. My phone can search for the mobile networks but can't seem to connect with it for some reason and always fails with the error - can't connect to this network right now. Please try again later.

Any help regarding this problem is appreciated!

DPI

hello guys how do I change the dpi? Thank you in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fedelamb:
Go into /system and search the build.prop ... after searh this line ( ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx ) and modify the XXX value with the one that you want (stock is 320)

Or you can use app like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.texdroider.texdroider_dpi&hl=it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kurre:
Could it be just a operator related issue? Can you try with another phone? (I have seen that kind of operator issues..unfortenately)

IIRC, there haven't been any changes which could affect in that way.

If it works with other phone, I'd go to stock factory image and see if it works fine and then continue to slimkat.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
APNs are okay?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gauravraw:
It was working fine before I flashed the ROM. Also, I tried another SIM card which is working in another phone and it gets the same problem. So it's definitely the ROM

Yes, as I said, the data connection works fine. Only the calls can't be made

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------

Just installed the latest nightly release for this ROM and it has the same problem! I guess I should better go all stock

---------- Post added 5th May 2014 at 12:01 AM ---------- Previous post was 4th May 2014 at 11:07 PM ----------

OKAY!

I re-flashed my phone to factory, but guess what! Still the same problem. I think I know what it is - I lost the IMEI number, as in, it is not matching what's written on the battery area anymore :( Any fix for this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agritux:
I think you used format /factory in mounts and storage menu. (CWM)

This option is not wipe data and factory reset. It formats factory folder. Your imei is stored in it. If you format it, you lost your imei.

You must rewrite your imei on your device.

Search on the web.

In xda you can not find it. Because it is not legal (not for you, this rule for illegal chinese phones and writing imei on them or etc)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natakranta:
I'd say restore your EFS backup, but because you are asking I'm guessing you don't have any. If you have somewhere a nandroid from the time you had IMEI, you could try get it from there, but don't ask me for details. I never had to do it and I don't know how.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agritux:
[MENTION=3892523]gauravraw[/MENTION]

Yes Natakranta is right. If you have any nandroid backup, you can restore it. It will work. But it isnt a solution. Because imei will restore for only this nandroid backup. But you can back up your efs folder and maybe you can create a new nv_data.bin file in to /factory folder with this. Maybe it can helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gauravraw:
Yup, you guys are absolutely right. Now, I don't have ANY backup - yes, I am THAT stupid! So, now I gotta figure out a way to rewrite the IMEI number on my phone. Fortunately, I found a thread on xda where a guy has got it done from a shop. It's in my country but a different city, so I'll try local shops here first

I am searching online to see if there's an easier way to do it at home though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gauravraw:
OKAY! A ray of hope...

I have the attached files backed up by using Galaxy Nexus Toolkit but neither of those folders have the "factory" folder in them :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agritux:
Yes. They wont. But if you restore this nandroid backup, you can use your phone for a while. (if you dont change your rom you can use it)

Restore it and backup your efs folder.

Two thing:

1- You can restore this efs backup for every rom changing

2- You can hardwork and find a way to create a new nv_data.bin file in /factory folder for imei

But i think writing imei is very simple because in my country all phone repairman can do it. You must search in correct place for application. Maybe youtube helps you.

Edit:

I am talking very much. Because i made same fault before.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gauravraw:
This is going to sound very n00by but can you tell me how do I restore this? I am flashing CWM on my device, will place the folder having all those files on the phone and hopefully that will do it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agritux:
Copy them to sdcard/clockworkmod/backup folder (with folder that which tagged with date)

Enter Cwm

Choose backup and restore

Choose restore

Select your backup

BEFORE RESTORE WIPE ALL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gauravraw:
When I try restore from /sdcard or advanced restore from /sdcard, it says: Couldn't open directory. No files found.

I have pasted the folder 2013-02-16.0AM.11 in sdcard/clockworkmod/backup

I had to manually create the backup folder inside clockworkmod folder btw
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agritux:
Quich solution

Backup your system now.

Reboot your phone.

Look your sdcard. Where is the backed up system.

Delete it and paste your backup here.

Reboot on recovery and restore.

Wipe all before restore.

Message from slimroms.net :
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kurre:
hmm..this is a SlimKat thread, not a how-to-fix-my-imei thread? ;)

And btw, AFAIK, that Toolkit doesn't backup efs folder while doing normal nandroid backup..(imho that wouldn't be wise).

IIRC there's an option to do efs backup separately.

So restoring nandroid backup without an efs folder is useless unfortenately (how could it restore your imei without a folder containing your imei..?)

But hopefully you're able to restore your imei in a way or another :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agritux:
I had the same issue and (i dont know how) with restoring nandroid backup, my imei come back and mobile data is fine.

But installing an other rom, imei goes again. Maybe releated with cache. Maybe rom takes imei in cache or etc. I dont have any knowladge for this.

But you are wright. This is my last post about restoring imei in this topic.

Thanks.

EDIT:

4.9 changelog released

Changelog:

Mostly device-specific changes again this time, including tons of LG kernel updates for the msm7x27a boards, a few jflte updates, M7, i9100, n7000, and p3100 updates.

We've also updated our builds to allow for exFAT support.

Small changelog this week, but expect more fun to come in the upcoming weekly!

Performance Issue

I changed from Cyanogenmod 11 to Slimkat, because of the performance and is seems more stable for me. But I am having problems with the performace when opening and closing apps, and when I switch from the app to the home screen. The screen locks for seconds and its not a smooth transition. Does anyone know what the problem could be? Thank you.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fparri:
Hi everybody,

I installed Slim-mako-4.4.2.build.4-OFFICIAL-3661 on a friend's phone (the latest stable). Do you happen to know if there are problems with it being power hungry and, if so, if updating to a later nightly would (partly) solve them?

Sorry fot the generic request, but I don't use the phone myself, so I can't be more specific :))
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natakranta:
You would probably get more/better answers in Mako thread.

Personally I doubt in any power hungry Slim build. Your friend should check for wake locks.

Hi there! :) User of last stable here o/

'till last week I had a black wallpaper so I didn't care much about transparent statusbar / navbar but I switched two days ago to a more colorful one and there's something bugging me. The statusbar is transparent, and that's fine, but the navbar isn't. Or, better, it wasn't at the beginning, then it became transparent ad I was "oh well, probably needed some time to notice the new wallpaper". But then this morning I had to reboot my phone and the black navbar was there.

Is there something I'm not aware about?

Thanks in advance! o/

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tommrazek01:
look for the string lcd_density in system/build.prop. Change from 245 to 320.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedDeadDorito:
so how do you flash this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Edward Stanbury:
you can edit the build.prop in the zip file before flashing, or if you have root do it within the OS and reboot :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kufikugel:
guys don't mess with updater scripts....just flash newest CWM and good to go :p

[MENTION=233732]slim[/MENTION] changes....dpi is slim as always and notification drawer you can already swipe to QS and back, All other is pure AOSP

eeerrr changing dpi....build.prop for now....if you do not have root change it in the build.prop before you flash from 245 to 320 :p

Thank you so much, might have to retire my note 2 for a day or 2 to get a better taste of KK

Did get a random reboot no idea why just entered settings so still some bugs, but damn I think I am going to love me some kit kats!

Looks like there's a small glitch with the Section Headers.

Great work guys!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tommrazek01:
[MENTION=4630140]ScardracS[/MENTION] Try a different browser. I heard this just happened with the stock browser. BTW, is this using a different "base" than the other 4.4 ROM in this forum? This one, for me, feels a little more choppy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albsat:
Well everything is within expectation of a alpha build. Apart glitches i wish it was a bit faster.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrcooter:
Forgive the possible stupid question but I've seen alot about this but confuses me... By turning dynamic off does that mean leaving fast charge on? Then it's no longer dynamic and instead static? Or does turning fast charge on enable dynamic? Sorry again if it's been asked. Searched and read up some but still unsure which is which. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -Jesco-:
Faster charge = faster charge

Dynamic Fync is a different thing , disable dynamic fsync leaves fsync on forever (which is good for protecting data from sudden shutdowns)
