Can't wait for more kernel improvments :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nokiagye:
I am not complaining I just won't to help to know the problems and almost the same bugs reported many times.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] manjee:
I have none of the bug previously mentioned. I should specify I use semaphore 1.8.0 and moto x dalvik patches.

On stock slimkat beta I think i experienced 1) and 3) bugs.

Hope that helps.

Thanks again for your fantastic work.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
You guys are missing the point. Saying maybe or I had x or y isn't helping. Provide logs, and infor on procedure, and please stick to stock setup....
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] WoodroweBones:
Any idea if this could be patched into the ROM?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jawz101:
does this have the 4.4 binaries? does it work with .97 radio?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] deltatux:
SlimKat 4.4 Alpha 1.4 (KRT16S, 20131123). This is the latest public alpha build.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
I mean the log just say mix panel api (probably use by power amp) trying to access a server, and it can't so it freaks out. Maybe something else causing the stuttering?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] deltatux:
Could this stuff do it too? I see it quite a bit on the tail end of the log (posted above too):

This line specifically worries me:

W/AudioFlinger( 188): write blocked for 548 msecs, 13 delayed writes, thread 0xb5da4008

I'm guessing when it says "write" I don't think it's writing to a storage space but either a memory region or to the audio device? I'm guessing Android uses ALSA no?

Not sure, I'm still trying to root out the problem, it's the only issue I have with Android 4.4 right now is stuttering playback when screen is off. It doesn't only affect PowerAMP but also Google Play Music.

You using stock kernel? I've been using Google music a lot and haven't seen any lag.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] deltatux:
I'll try the stock kernel again. I'm also going to test Hell's Core as well and see the results, could be kernel related. I'll do more testing and report back.

deltatux
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] qu3becker:
Were you using Franco's kernel? There are reports that the music shutters when screen is off.

But remember guys to try to reproduce bugs on a fresh install and stock kernel before reporting a bug. Otherwise, don't report it here. The slim team doesn't support those who flash custom kernels and mods. (but I don't speak on their behalf so...)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Matteo Mazzu:
Changing to the new radio 0.97 helps something or can just be not flash? :)

I'm using hellscore kernel 3days now and it works like a charm.. Great combo...+ faux sound enhancements...

[MENTION=1032895]gapp[/MENTION]s still the 1.3 gapps are up to date
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Zehlek:
Sweet, downloading now
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nickboy360:
I ported from slimbean and flashed but not working??
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mallez:
Hi kufi,

I don't think you need to excuse yourself for any delay. SlimKat has by far the most features of all KitKat Roms and is thereby stable enough for daily use.

Thank you and the team for your hard work during the last weeks :good:. I always wonder if you ever sleep when having a look at your github acount...

Cheers mallez

Be glad for what you got instead. And read back a few pages, Kufikugel made a post about feautures beeing implemented.

Great work as usual Slim team.

I looked and can't seem to find the new lock screen targets (mentioned in the change log). Anyone know where those are located? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] goofball2k:
None here, what program are you using to mount? I use es file Explorer with no problems.

---------- Post added at 09:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 AM ----------

Not here. Using a hybrid radio 33/84
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Pete_79:
Settings > Security > Slider targets and shortcuts.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] murraynt:
I've used ES Explorer, Mount System RW; Adb Shell, Xposed. I'm going to do a clean install and see if that helps matters.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] H2othebest:
Have a look in settings/security ;)

I have noticed that now if I try to switch from 2G to 3G (or vice versa) or to go in airplane mode it takes ~1min to have it applied.

Never happened on 1.4

Could it be the "old" .84 radio?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kufikugel:
just to be sure you enabled root in developer options?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ricstone:
Slider targets is force closing for me
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] fischwrap:
Works fine for me after a dirty flash over prior alpha.

Where/what is the new quick unlock feature?

Edit: nvm, found it with the pin settings
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ricstone:
Trying to set slider targets it says settings has stopped.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kufikugel:
does not happen in any of our devices....try to wipe settings.apk data
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] murraynt:
Yes mate. Root apps like ad block are working.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ricstone:
No luck. Still force close
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kufikugel:
strange...myself using es explorer works without a hickup

if you still have it after clean install try to get a logcat please

---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

then do a logcat :p

we cannot reproduce so we cannot fix it lol

and information what you use....mods, dpi, 5 or 8 targets etc
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Matteo Mazzu:
Still have sometimes the recent apps problem :) no other issues for now!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] panhans:
For me every root app works except es file explorer.. it aks for previleges, but I can't change something in system/apps or something like this. For this I switched to root explorer. It says "Error: read only file system"
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] CoolApps:
Have you done this?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] panhans:
I enabled "root explorer" like I did in early versions of android. Didn't know how to get the menu shown in the second screen. Thx btw!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] CoolApps:
You just press "Root Explorer".

After that you should be able to go through the rest and have R/W access to the system partition.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kufikugel:
guys new gapps are up

ART compatible as well now and as usual with modded multiDpi PlayStore
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] panhans:
Ok, ty! I didn't get that menu! After wiping data for ES the menu appears. Strange :D ty anyway!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] anshumandash:
I am on 23rd build with stock kernel. I have some questions -

1- Is there a way to enable/disable GPS. I can't find anywhere in settings. This is the first time I am using 4.4

2- When I press quick settings/toggles Bluetooth/wifi, it takes me to settings page for bluetooth/wifi. Only if I long press it toggles on/off. I think it was the other way in 4.3 - Like short press toggle on/off, long press > settings. Is it normal or am I having some other issue

3- I am having massive battery drain. Like 2 hours SOT on 2G/wifi for total 10 hours since last charge and I am down to 30%. Is it normal? I have google now on, location settings on. I have never switched off location since I owned N4, but I started using google now as I wanted to see how it works with GEL.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] CoolApps:
Push that thanks button if I helped solve your problem. ;)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Devin Cuthbertson:
What's the difference between slim gapps and others because I'm having a lot better luck with banks gapps on 1123
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Zehlek:
Awesome thanks, now I can use Slim Gapps instead of PA gapps
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ahepas:
I want to say that the kernel in alpha 5 is sweet! Nice job guys... And faux sound is back..
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kufikugel:
currently only the multDPI playstore and google services framework to support different dpi's without problems

later TRDS will be the difference
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] playya:
In settings > personal> location you have 3 options, I would mess around with all of them to see which one gives you the best option of availability and battery life. But thats where the GPS settings are now located.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] qu3becker:
That's quick settings stock AOSP behaviour.

I get good battery life with Google Now and LTE with the hybrid radio and greenifying certain apps. There's no 2G on my network so I wouldn't know but it may take a long time to sync and download stuff so your Nexus 4 might stay awake longer to fetch data but I could be wrong. Check with Better Battery Stats.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mercado_Negro:
Nice! Thanks!

Btw, I don't know what you did on the latest build 1.5 but the difference in speed and performance is very noticeable :thumbup:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] vampire36:
[MENTION=4790322]kufikugel[/MENTION] : Awesome work..thumbs up...for all the hardwork you putting in...performance improvement in each version is quite noticeable...Cool work...

Couple of things...

1. Now that you have made complete UI holo white which in my opinion looks awesome...perfect...rather than half baked holo blue and holo white mixture...can you also look at dialer...the only holo blue component remaining...somehow in complete rom it looks a bit out place if I can put it that way :)

2. How far are we from TRDS...i know the kind of efforts you putting in just a general query...:) :)

Once again awesome work...finally stuck on this after a long time...SlimKat + Semaphore is divine...though planning to give the new stock kernel a go...as your changelog talks about many optimization in it :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] llevo3:
can i just reflash the gapps?

Quick Question - just want to see if its me or this is the behavior of this function. When I go and set a shortcut for my lockscreen through settings > security > shortcuts the shortcuts longpress stays checked off no matter what I do. I also can not get it to work on the lockscreen unless I longpress. Is this normal behavior since I have tried clearing a few things and I did a clean flash...

I would be quite grateful if someone can try theirs for me I am on 1.5

Thx in advance... I
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mercado_Negro:
Confirmed. Shortcuts longpress isn't working at all. In fact, shortcuts work with single press and longpress regardless of the setting (though like I said it doesn't stick).
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kdo_vi:
Shortcuts on lock screen does not work. I see only icons, but without response on touch.

Is there a kill all button for on the recents screen?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] stevo_125:
Great work on the new build, noticeably faster and I'm very pleased that fauxsound is back.

Unfortunately I'm having no luck with ART. I've flashed the rom 1.5 and gapps 1.6 over the top of rom 1.4 and Gapps 1.3, but I get force closes of the Gapps :( Cleared Dalvik and cache partition, any suggestions?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Zehlek:
Try PA Gapps

http://www.mediafire.com/download/ahbnc2k5u5op501/pa_gapps-full-4.4-20131126-signed.zip
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] stevo_125:
Thanks, but I managed to get things working by re-flashing the gapps1.6 package, and clearing cache partition again. Not sure what caused the issue the first time. Weird!

One thing I have noticed is that the data and Wi-Fi notifications do not seems to have activity arrows on them like previous versions of Android. I don't know if this in a KitKat thing or a SlimKat thing, either way, it would be nice to have the activity indicators back in future.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

If this is something Google have changed on KitKat then that is a very bizarre decision on their part IMO.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mercado_Negro:
Google's decision:

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] WiseManWhite:
Anyone have any force closes with the gapps? I had some frequent ones, particularly messaging and Google+, with the last set but forgot to take a logcat before flashing the new set. Just curious.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mercado_Negro:
Yes, I also had a couple of them with the old gapps. Let's see if it happens again...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jsmonu:
Apparently not! :(

Also, no options for DPI or Xposed to work yet.. :( :(
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] arief347:
do you mean change dpi?

you can manually edit build.prop or you can use app from playstore to change DPI
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jsmonu:
Yeah.. You can, but it was always a Slim thing to have it built in, since it comes at a lowered res by default.. So, is there some way to add a Kill All button somehow?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] M3drvr:
New build is awesome! Glad I can use ART now! Significant boost! Anyone use face unlock in latest build? I'm getting fc on it for some reason.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mercado_Negro:
Just a FYI... Titanium Backup was updated to 6.1.4.1 and they added initial support for ART.

[MENTION=4790322]kufikugel[/MENTION]

Could you please make the full bug report feature in Slim Center work for next build so we can provide better documentation about issues, crashes, etc.? It's very complete and it will benefit us all :)

I'm asking because I had a self-reboot out of nowhere and Catlog isn't that good on this, just like adb if you're not close to a computer.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ThomasBags:
Am I missing something, or are settings for quicklaunch and notification drawer buttons missing?

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mercado_Negro:
If these features you're looking for were present in SlimBean then they will probably be added in future builds of Slimkat. This is still a WIP.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ThomasBags:
Mostly wondering if it's been moved or something, and I thought that was a built in android feature, since it's documented in the official 4.4 user guide. Also, the name I was looking for was "Quick Settings" and by default would be under device in the settings menu, which is no longer present.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mercado_Negro:
No, none of these two features are present on Stock as you say. Quick Settings will be added later, according to devs.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jsmonu:
Can you please explain a bit more on the build.prop method.. is it safe? and which app from Playstore do you recommend?

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Arju:
It's safe. Download an app called texdroider dpi from playstore. That should work. 320dpi is what Google uses as stock. 268dpi is what slimkat uses. Test it out and you'll understand how to use it very quick.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] deltatux:
In build.prop, find this line:

ro.sf.lcd_density=318

Change it to a density you want. Default Galaxy Nexus/Nexus 4 density is 320.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kufikugel:
new build is up but with only 2 bugfixes

- one for the guys which use accessability service and had fc on lockscreen targets

- as well when I was on it I added accessability instructions for ppl which need to use talkback...so that the phone tells you what to do on lockscreen...means it says...swipe to access a toggle......tells you the name of the shortcut you added etc.

- fix for the checkbox does not stick on longpress lockscreen shortcuts

- percentage battery turns now red when it is und 14%

- battery with percentage shows under 14% now text and not the "!"

have fun
