Does using Mpokang also helps minimizing random reboots? What else did you found that can help with the reboots? I have them almost regularly each time I unlock the phone and open something lol

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natakranta:
I had the same yesterday after dirty flashing 7.2.1 over 7.0 on my N5. Recents background was white at first. I went back to TRDS black after opening its settings in accessibility. I guess it's due to dirty flash.

Thanks for confirming 7.2.1 combo with Fancy 54 working good. I'll flash it on my wife's Maguro tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] solidsatras:
Today I flashed weekly 7.2.1 on my Maguro and I also experienced the white recents background.

I always do a full wipe including the data partition.

So I can assure it has nothing to do with a dirty flash.

Since I read something about a color picker for recents I simply changed it to black.

If someone needs a logcat I could reproduce it.

May I know how to change DPI in this rom? I tried Texdriod DPI but failed to reboot itself. Manual reboot it doesnt help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolek33:
Have set right permissions after changing DPI value?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ashtrix:
Well after a few hours of usage of 7.2.1 and the 7.0, here's my take...

PSP Emulator - Gaming (same game, kernel, clocks, settings)

7.0 - An Avg FPS of 50-58 out of 60 & intense GPU scenes a ~35+ Fps.

7.2.1 - An Avg FPS of 42-45 out of 60 & Intense GPU scenes a 24-27 Fps.

Regarding the Rom's snappiness there's slight diffrence i guess but the gaming part is quite different, a boost of 10 Fps is not a normal thing..;)

And i guess except this --> 2014-08-06 | Disable NEON Poly1305 code, rest of the changelog doesn't effect this...

Edit : 7.2.1 is fast but 7.0 is faster !!

Edit2 : The FPS drop was not because of the ROM it was due to an overlay of Xblast's Appbar (Xposed), i apologize for the quick conclusions....

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natakranta:
My wife's Maguro is already on 7.4 with Fancy r54 since yesterday evening. All seems good :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 2LoT:
Q1. Can you please tell me the reason you choose Fancy kernel over let's say Franco? Where to get Fancy and is it compatible with TouchControl?

Q2. Also do you enable ART (Maguro, SlimKat 7.4)? If yes, did you have any compatibility issues with some apps?

Q3. Does a custom kernel has any influence on ART?

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natakranta:
Q1.

I have no experience with Franco on Maguro. I don't experiment with karnels on Maguro as it is my wife's phone and it must be 100% stable or my life will became miserable ;) I Discovered Fancy by recomendation in this thread and being fed up with Maguro lagging a lot I decided to give it a try. In my experience it is more responsive and smoother than Slim karnel provided with the ROM. So far there were no problems with Fancy r54.

Link to Fancy Kernel thread.

Q2.

Maguro is runing on Dalvik. I enabled ART about two months ago on latest Slim version at that moment but there were problems with one of the gemes my wife had installed, either Plants vs Zombies 2 or Candy Crash Saga. I don't remember which one. I decided it's not worth it, especialy that I didn't notice any improvement in performance. Mind this is subjective, I did not run any benchmarks or so.

Q3.

As far as I understand the idea of ART, karnel shouldn't have to do anything with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Piti8576:
Do you flash the fixed RAMdisk or the anykernel2 of Fancy?

1. flash slimkat

2. flash gapps

3. flash SuperSu

4. flash ??? Fancy

5. reboot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natakranta:
I use the one with fixed ramdisk. In Fancy OP there's link to boype post with detailed explanation which version should be used under which circumstances.

I'm flashing only official SlimKat weeklies so I'm sure there are no leftovers from other ROMs or karnels. Every week like this:

Titanium backup

ROM Manager - make nandroid of current ROM

Reboot to CWM

Wipe cache

Mounts and storage - mount system - format system

Advanced - wipe dalvik cache

Install latest SlimKat weekly

Install latest Slim minimal gapps

Reboot

Enable AddAway

Uninstall AOSP keyboard

Edit build.prop DPI to 275

Copy latest YouTube TRDSed apk to system/priv-app & set permissions.

Install Shaftamle Google keyboard KO Squared, activate and set languages (since version 7 it persists weekly system flashes, making this steep redundant)

Reboot

Give it a minute, check keyboard working

Reboot to recovery

Flash Fancy karnel (no wipes)

Reboot

Enjoy smoothness.

Check if wife didn't notice I was messing up with her phone.

Update XDA signature.

Profit :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ashtrix:
No need to flash SuperSu for Slimkat as the pre-installed one is quite perfect running since beta 1.5 of kitkat & JB before that ;), As for fancy the Anykernel2 is like if a kernel dev needs to implement changes for some particulars basically needed only for < 4.4 versions of Android, for KK 4.4.x it's good to go with normal version, the fixed RAMdisk one :good:

And for Maguro on ART, I believe it wont go well it needs much time b4 bootup and lots of incompatibilty issues, better wait for L for the ART if it makes to our phones :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josera06:
I have the slim-kernel and its very battery friendly.

Q1. Can you please show me how to enable AdAway in SlimKat? I didn't know it is built-in in SlimKat now.

Q2. DPI = 275, Why 275 exactly and not 268, or 281? Sorry for the silly question. But does that mean you can really select any DPI value? I suppose the only consequence is either your eyes can take it or not, right?

Here is the adaway apk

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 2LoT:
Thanks for your help. I get AdAway from the F-Droid repository. But the way he described looks like AdAway is built-in SlimKat and just needed to be enabled. So may be by "Enable AdAway" he meant "Install AdAway" ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolek33:
Maybe he meant enable like xposed module.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natakranta:
Yes, Slim karnel is battery friendly, but not as responsive as Fancy. That doesn't mean Fancy is not battery friendly. My wife uses her phone more as a phone and less as a computer. What I mean, she calls, she texts, she uses Messenger and shots pictures. Occasionally she is checking something on Browser. She got feed up with Candy Crush Saga so she is not gaming on it any more. Wi-Fi is always on even though she doesn't have Wi-Fi at her office, only at home in the evenings. Location is off. BT off. If she doesn't forget, she switches airplane mode on for the night.

With this pattern of usage she usually gets 4 days on one charge with about 1h of Screen On Time (SOT).

I should mention that it's on Samsung extended 2000 mAh battery.

I flash Fancy for better responsiveness and smoother experience, not for battery life, but there's not much difference in battery life between them, at least with the way she uses her phone. To be honest, work Maguro, I'd sacrifice every bit of battery life to make it fell as responsive as my Nexus 5 but this unfortunately cannot be achieved.

---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

AdAway is non-system app so it survives system format which I do for every dirty flash. But host file it generates is on system partition, so it get wiped when I format system in recovery before I flash new weekly and gapps. That's why after first boot I need to open AdAway app and tap enable - this will download and generate new hos files with list of adds addresses and replace ROM's original host file with the one generated by AdAway.

---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------

Exactly - open app and enable it. :good:

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------

I'm slowly conditioning my wife to use Slim default DPI ;) which for Maguro is 245 if I recall correctly. Stock is 320, I started with 300, few weeks later I decreased it to 280, now I set it to 275 and I like it. I was planing to keep on decreasing it until Slim default, but I may leave it on 275 for longer. Abd the best part is she hasn't noticed anything yet. Imagine her surprise if I suddenly return it stock 320 DPI with huge icons. :D

On Nexus 5 I was stock is 480 and Slim is 370. For very long I was using 420 dpi as a middle way between them. Then after one flash I just left it on 370 dpi and got used to it and liked it. Just recently flashed custom Slim build on N5 where dpi was set to 400 and it looks good as well. It's a matter of personal preference and being used to certain size of letters/icons. And it's nothing more like giving root access to ES file explorer or any other file explorer capable root access, mounting system partition as R/W instead of standard Read only, and opening and editing build.prop file in /system folder. Save and reboot for the change to take place on screen. That's it.

Hello!

I'm loving this ROM and thank you to the developers.

I have the problem that AOSP keyboard only has gesture typing in English language but not in Portuguese. I use often both languages and gesture is very welcome. I read a few posts back (February) that we should install Google keyboard from Play store but i cant find it there...

Is there any fix for my native language? In CM keyboard the gesture works in portuguese, isn't Slim rom keyboard the same? Can i use CM keyboard here? If yes, how?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natakranta:
I'm dealing with the same problem but Polish instead of Portuguese and I have a remedy :)

Look no further, get one of Shaftamle Themed Google Keyboards. My personal choice is ShaftaKOSquared :cool:

You can have them as well with additional row on the top with numbers. Those are the ones with 123 in name.

The only prerequisite to instal them is you need to remove AOSP keyboard provided by the ROM. To do so, go to Settings > Slim Center > SLIMSIZER, tick LatinIME and tap delete. You need to reboot. After reboot use any file explorer to go where you downloaded Shaftamle Themed Google Keyboard of your choice and open it. It will instal like any app (remember to tick Unknown Sources in Settings > Security). After install the app will prompt you to enable it in settings, chose language and so. You can go later to Settings > Language & Input > tap on Google Keyboard settings and customize to your liking.

After you have it done, you can swap Shaftamle keyboards as often as you want. You just install new over the previous one, no reboots needed at all.

After dirty flashing next Slim weekly with format system in recovery the AOSP keyboard will be back there. Just remove it with Slimsizer. Shafta keyboard persists dirty flash and is ready to use.

Enjoy!

Thank you for the elaborated solution but i ended up by searching for the Google Keyboard outside of the play store... I didn't really liked the skins of the keyboards above.

Google keyboard does the gesture thing in portuguese but i still miss the AOSP layout, i mean having special characters easily accessed by long press a key... :(

I have yesterday updated from 7.0 stable to 7.4 weekly with fancy kernel r54.

When a call comes the display goes on only after 5 seconds when ringing.

Is there a way to speed up the display on time when its ringing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolek33:
Known issue. Try rising your min freq. It happens even on more powerful devices if it's to low.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Piti8576:
OK i set it from 224 to 384 and test it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eucurto:
For what is worth, i found the best option to be replacing the LatinIME.apk with one with all the languages, gesture typing etc.

You have to use a root explorer to paste the file in /system/app and give the right permissions -rw-r--r--

Then reboot.

You can find the file here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B7u13ex9F6vwWUNTRjZqaGk4NDA&usp=sharing

I also put there a Calculator.apk with much more functions.

Enjoy and thank you all for the tips.

Hey, actually the stock Slim kernel is really really nice ! Why the devs won't add more ram, like other kernel. An xda member said, more RAM is like more bacon, that can't hurt us !

I have a question. What is the difference between our Genx and i9300 ? The i9300 with the stock CM kernel surpass 800 mb of RAM while our Gnex have only ~690.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nelson George:
i think so

hi

gnx is not same as i9300 which is released after gnx.

texas instruments who manages our gnx drivers spread more ram to all processess more than they need.... like for 1080 video recording and playing etc...s3 got 8mp camera but doesn't have 1080 video recording. and the hardware is not same as gnx. it has quad-core Exynos 4412 processor ( samsung proprietary hardware closed source actually ). our gnx got dual-core TI OMAP 4460 chipset which is abandoned by TI, but our xda devs gave their time and hardwork, so that gnx still lives.

low ram doesn't mean your mobile is slower then s3( maybe a little ).

if you still prefer more ram then you can flash custom kernels like fancy (which has more than 730mb ram), dirty V....etc

search the kernel posts,..you may find better one...

i am not good in english...sorry if i did any mistakes

Hi all, I went out of town to Detroit for three weeks and lost my network signal while roaming. I had data service but couldn't text or make calls. I was on SlimKat 7.0. So I took my sim card out and put it in my HTC One S and everything was fine. I called my service provider and troubleshooted it but no luck. Not sure what was wrong this is all I know, guess I should have did a logcat but I was working and didn't have time to fool with it. I am going to update to the latest Slim and see how it does. I thought before I left i was having signal issues with my Gnex, no issues with my HTC with the same sim card. Can someone please refer best radio to flash living in Ohio

Taking a break from Slim

Hey guys,

I want to inform you that I'm taking a break from Slim and XDA.

It was a great time with you all.

It's nothing which you have to be concerned about. I just need some time for other things (school, etc).

I'm not leaving the Slim team completely however,

I'll stay as passive member and if everything goes well will see us again at some point in the future.

Have a good time and keep the atmosphere friendly.

P.S. Please remember, if someone posts a question you don't like or you have heard too often don't bother answering it.

The community will answer it soon enough in a friendly matter.

Greetings

Quick question to those on nightlies, is there better control in this rom for bluetooth volume. I'm on the latest official and it's very difficult to keep bluetooth volume from turning off. What I did to make it easier was use the quick panel and add the "Volume" tile. Hoping maybe in a nightly I can control this better. Took a while to figure out and unfortunately it's still very annoying when you need to toggle bluetooth volume. Love the rom though, beyond bluetooth volume it's excellent with zero problems. Very reliable! Thanks for that!
