Nah those aren't stubs like the launcher apk. GQSB is pretty central now though, you're right; just Google Search, Google Now, and Google Home crammed in there. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pvkiniyan95:
Yeah found them in system/priv-app and as [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] said when tried to install parse error appeared...

I'll wait

I m very much eager to learn these stuffs and build a ROM on my own rather than being just a user but my semester exams start 2mrw and continues till DEC 9, but good god gave me a month holiday after exams, hope u guys will help me out clearing my doubts and I am excited to get started.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Yeah, not looking too good. I added uses-sdk to the manifest to try and change the minSdk from 19 to 18 and allow it to work but for some reason the recompiled apk still shows 19. :confused:

Edit: Nevermind, I think it was APK Multi-Tool being weird. Testing now.

Edit 2: Got it to recognize it by changing the leveI to 18 but Package Installer crashes with a Security Exception unless you you leave it unsigned, and if you do that it will attempt to install but the install fails with no useful error in the logcat, probably because it's a system apk and needs to be signed. Ah well.. worth a try! :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dudeman1996:
What about signing it with the platform key using the zip signer app? That's what was used when we modified framework-res.apk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Wasn't aware of that one! Is it this one here?:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kellinwood.zipsigner2&hl=en

Looks pretty cool! I'm heading to bed but I'll definitely give it a try tomorrow. :)

Edit: Nevermind I still had the recompiled Calculator apk on my phone so I tried it out really quick. It doesn't crash, tries to install and then fails since the original calculator apk is still there and has a "conflicting signature". Removing the original calculator makes the install fail again. Pushing directly to system allows it to run after a reboot, but then it force closes when you try to hit the Settings button.

The stack trace seems to indicate there's a pulldown method listener it can't find, so I guess it's minSdk 19 for a reason. ;)

Dialer I couldn't even get to recompile using APK Multi-Tool so I'm not even going to bother with it if I can't get something simple like Calculator working haha. That was a fun experiment. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amrnagy16680:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Seraz007:
Graphical issues are there and it won't be fixed with new builds Unless the kernel is updated
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BenSow:
Ermm pardon the stupid question but do I need to flash gapps again when flashing the latest version? I'm curently running a previous version of slimkat :3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] demon2112:
With build prop editor you can change the dpi
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amrnagy16680:
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh back again to slimkat :D

how to change dpi with root explore ?? i can't find the file with root explore please tell me where can i find it :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] txesin:
Try this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amrnagy16680:
thank you so much i will try it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KelvinCheong:
I didnt install anything. just tried to click something
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kufikugel:
would be nice if it is so easy...it is not only kernel as well a lot we need to change on surfaceflinger etc etc

so and new build is up....changes:

- global power menu in settings (check it out....a new slim unique feature I just programmed yesterday to our liking)

- media scanner behaviour (as well a slim unique ported over feature)

- turn off camera shutter sound

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paarthdesai:
buzz launcher also has glitches :( - just a heads up.. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Charmacas:
Kernel source for Android 4.4 KitKat is now released. :) Yeah! Hope this helps in development.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yodanutz01:
Quick settings included in latest build ? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dirtygoldfish:
Nope not yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nemolivier:
Did you remove the Google experience launcher from gapps ? After flashing ROM and new gapps I only have Nova launcher.

Envoyé de mon Galaxy Nexus en utilisant Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
We don't provide the stock launcher in the small gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mangusZen:
Last alpha I dirty flashed the previous and phone went crazy after some hour of usage.

I will try to dirty flash this new one first , but remember, just a heads up:

As things in the code are changing fast, dirty flash are very risky and not raccomended
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kurre:
That's very true. And in case of dirty flashing, manually formatting /system is also an advisable thing to do :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dudeman1996:
I never see the point in wiping /system. If you look in the updater-script of ANY ROM, you'll see the line in there that formats /system anyway. Hence why if you modify anything in there it gets overwritten when you flash dirty (some files are backed up using a script though so you don't lose them).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] firiel:
Firstly thanks for all your trouble,

Does that mean that I wont be able to have the new launcher with the latest build ?

or I should install another gapps package ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolek33:
No. There are 2 kinds of slim gapps that U can flash. In minimal is only Nova.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kurre:
Yeah, I know that..but, why dev-team is advising to do manual /system format, if it's done automatically?

It's due those restore scripts which could cause issues (which apply to dirty flashes also). Maybe it's not likely, but nevertheless.

So there's need for manual formatting in some points, IMHO.

Of course everyone is justified to do what ever they want ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kufikugel:
guys sorry and next build is up lol

spend a bit time this night to try some things

changes to build before are mainly kernel changes...I changed some stuff on lean kernel. It is supossed to get rid of the random reboots. So please test. Tester says he does not have anyone....so I want to have a wide test if possible

as well this build is on newest source google released this night

thanks for the support and report back

cheers

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ashtrix:
So which gapps are better for 4.4 ??

First time trying 4.4 a suggestion would be cool ;) !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolek33:
For slimkat slim gapps of course. U can choose aio or minimal gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sd3993:
i still had random reboots on ur last build(the one u posted earlier today). Will try ur latest one. Downloading now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amrnagy16680:

Man You Are The Boss :good::good::good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vlc_marcos:
well this last build, the one from 11 in the morning i think, is making my phone to have reboots every 2 min.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
After a clean install?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vlc_marcos:
Not really, but im going to do a clean installation, first 4,3 and after the slimkit.

so i will test to see. but the last version, from the 17 i think was good, small issues, reboots.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Never dirty flash when you're coming from another ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sd3993:
Reboot issues still there with latest ROM and KERNEL :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] demon2112:
More reboots then 2builds ago,

Reboot when hanging up a call and opening the phone app again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bewinxed:
I think I'm going to be dedicating my phone to providing logcats for this ROM, I have wiped everything and installed the ROM with included kernel.

I encourage everyone to do this and not just use the ROM, Every log matters, I recommend using this little tool I stumbled upon

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2454610

It's a dedicated tool for taking logcats, With the ability to upload directly to pastebin.com ! :D

Here goes, Just booted up.

[Edit] Been begging it to crash, Well it's kinda laggy but after stressing the phone [Rapidly Tapping The Home Button] the phone went black but didn't restart, Unresponsive as well, http://pastebin.com/TZxz5YTi

Yay! Crash when closing an App http://pastebin.com/1tKiuZKX

Yay! Crash when sharing to Facebook opened for the first time http://pastebin.com/VFKnb8C7

You can't crash this on purpose :v Lag gone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mylo01:
Phone app work already bad in previous version...many glitch and after a while restarting:(

p.s.

however this rom is amazing...great works:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] navyanup:
Not a single reboot .

Thumbs up
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kaemo:
The only thing that keeps it from being a daily driver are the graphical glitches in webview apps.

Since we have to wait until a 3.4 kernel is built, is it possible to revert 4.4's Chromium Webview rendering to the 4.3 android rendering?

Wouldn't that fix the black boxes/What problems would reverting to the 4.3 rendering engine create?

(I'm completely ignorant about these subjects, so please bear with me)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] awandroid89:
Seem like its your lucky day and someone heard your problem...

Now waiting for slimkat :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kufikugel:
nice thing

especially due that this patch is from the google chromium group lmao

so google did not forget us :D

will compile asap
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msip:
just press vol down+power?

Final screenshots looks nice, only preview is broken.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doctor1991:
I searched a bit here in xda and found that the option to disable the power light simply change a line in the build.prop (change persist.sys.enable-charging-led=1 to persist.sys.enable-charging-led=0). I did that change manually editing the file, turned off the device and then back on. However when I charge the phone the led still turns on. Maybe there are some other changes to make? Maybe the line in build.prop doesn't trigger anything due to some change in 4.4 code?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] misterk267:
Whoa, this is awesome. Will Toro builds be available?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dee8905:
Guys, is it just me or the icons in the drawer looks a bit..blurred? It looks like a smaller dpi icons fitted to a bigger screen.

edit: Not only on the drawer, but icons on the homescreen too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stavros3006:
Ok, tried with a few Gapps packages, but I don't have Google Now. I'm running PA Full Gapps package ATM. Anyone have a clue why it is missing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fleckdalm:
Thank you very much for this awesome rom!! :D

For an alpha its working quite good! Nevertheless I also noticed many graphical glitches in the hangouts app when scrolling but I think thats the same issue as with screenshots...? Why is this happening did kitkat change the graphic driver or something like that?

Is there any setting (or otherwise manual way) to restore the original dpi? I dont like the changed dpi size...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msip:
long press on homescreen->settings and enable google now. Works with PA Gapps, but is turned off by default.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kuronosan:
That's the launcher, and it's because it was designed for a higher dpi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stavros3006:
I don't have it as an option at all, that's the problem. Tried everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] docck:
Jusr reboot recovery and all will be OK. Did it twice before flashing CWM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msip:
install build prop editor or dpi changer from google play. default dpi is 320.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dee8905:
Ah ok, everything else has been wonderful so far. Top notch job, Slim team! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MaddScientist:
how to change dpi back to normal
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fleckdalm:
My phone just rebooted for apparently no reason while doing multiple things (download, account restore and editing settings) at once. I will try to reproduce the bug...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tribes11:
Does it comes pre-rooted?

---------- Post added at 12:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ----------

Editing build.prop however without root I believe it's not possible.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
We'll focus on the devices we own first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashclepdia:
If you look in general gnex section, user zittoro has a flashable zip that is supposed to be working for 4.4 as well, you install ROM as normal and then you flash his zip to get it working for toro
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] misterk267:
Okay, thank you!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daniil1410:
Wow. I hope it's released today, because I won't be near a good internet connection from tomorrow to Sunday and I really want to use slimkat this weekend.

I only have one question. Will all the reboots be fixed since surface flinger is?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tristan202:
As I understand it, it isn't surfaceflinger that's fixed. It's webview, so no more black boxes and such. But I may be wrong, I haven't read it all. But I can tell you in an hour or so. I have a build almost ready with the patch cherrypicked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kufikugel:
yes your are right the big black boxes everywhere which is using webviews is fixed with that....but this triggered as well a lot other problems....you know the webview problem...triggered problems in surfaceflinger....triggers problem in driver....crash

whatever new build is up with this google patch

check it out and report back what is left what not bug wise :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubikqj:
Just dirty flashed it over the previous version and... I LOVE YOU!! No black boxes at all. I can finally use all my web-based apps with ease. I haven't encountered any bugs/crashes yet (10 minutes of usage though). I'll report back if needed. Thanks!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] demon2112:
What about phone app? Is that a little more stable now?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubikqj:
For me it's stable and fluid. But that has always been the case, I don't really know what you mean. Was it slow/buggy in the previous versions for you?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kufikugel:
you cannot ask at least for the phone app...each app could trigger a reboot when in the same time in background surfaceflinger or webview actions were peformed. For some it happened often on the phone app for other in completly other apps. I assume that the ppl with phone app problems are using fb or something similar which peforms exactly such actions in background.

whatever flash the new release and check it out. But I think reboots should be now way lesser or not existend due of one of the major problems which is now solved which drove the phone crazy and shutted it down
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] epunk:
Working superbly here! Very happy to finally see all apps without glitches!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kaemo:
I love it! Now that that webview glitch is fixed, I have one more question.

Even with a custom kernel, the apps that use webview are really, really slow.

They are stuttering constantly, for example, the Newsstand app, it's almost unusable.

Does this have to do with the SurfaceFlinger?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bewinxed:
Could anyone provide me with the md5 hash of the last build?

Downloaded it twice and can't boot past the Google logo

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shencez:
Having wakelock issues. Not entering deep sleep on the new update. FC when entering settings; battery, applications. Home screen unresponsive and reboots after a few quick transitions from Google now to home and back. Other than that I find it a solid upgrade
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kufikugel:
fc not possible on a clean install. There are no at all for sure in settings. Do a clean install and then report back. As well absolutly nothing was changed regarding deepsleep in the last 5 updates lol

as well (no idea if it is for you the case) but I know a lot are switching and testing....comming from another rom needs a clean install!!!!!!!! Slim is doing things other then CM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MizzouBrent:
Stock. This is an alpha and changing something like a kernel makes it extremely difficult to pinpoint problems
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] entravink:
nice...some improvements.. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elinho:
So how about those gapps now with the new versions? What gapps should I use?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolek33:
For second time, Slim gapps of course.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kufikugel:
so new build is up guys and yes I know the pace is high at the moment lol.....but it is just that we work and work at the moment on all places in the rom.

a lot lot lot changes under the hood:

- tons of dalvik, skia, bionic and system core fixes changes and improvements

- activated SlimCenter for now (it will follow on a later point a SlimPlayStore which can manage the trds apps and gapps updates automatically)

- say hello to slims new file manager SimpleExplorer

- support for all shortcuts features if the user disables or uninstalls an binded app

- fix for 3dot menu button dissapears after disabling navbar

- a lot smaller fixes here and there

- and a small surprise I do not say where it is....lets see who discoveres it lmao

have fun report back and cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
Thank you so much.

When can expect to see the mighty SlimPie on KitKat?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] remi_g:

I still seem to get reboots on occasion, even with today's version. Twice with yesterday's build, once with today's now. Just playing around starting different apps and then trying to go to Play store, phone freezes and reboots. I went to Play store a bunch of times before that though.

This phone has been dirty flashed a bunch of SlimKat versions, original SlimKat install was clean. I made a logcat last night from one crash but it looks like I can't attach (upload failed). Well, here's a link to my Dropbox: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13406653/slimkat_random_reboot.txt

Oh sorry. I just realised there is a new gapps uploaded Lol. And no more fc or reboot issues. My bad on the report it was another ROM from my GS2

I don't think it's very useful to mention bugs and to post logcats if you have been dirty flashing a bunch of times...

Hate to say but latest Euroskank CM11 has no reboots, and black box thingie is gone. Stock browser works too. Maybe check it out.

Just checked Google now. Works flawless. Only glitch I can find atm is the rotation glitch.

From Euroskank thread:

There's CM's fix for webview issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
We already implemented the webview fix which is form the Chromium group and not CM.

"Honor to whom honor is due" ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rakpere:

^ I'm using the latest slimkat build from today, and don't see webview issues anymore.:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] one2one69:
nice ROM

I expected a troublesome experience, but it was not.

The ROM the smoothest so far ever had, and blazing fast.

A couple of graphic glitches while rotating, and 1 restart in 8 hours of heavy operation

It may be my impression but it seems a bit battery drainer...

One thing that I find annoying is the quick setting, i.e. I cannot switch wifi/3G/gps just with a "touch" but I'm forwarded to the main settings page.
