[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] skidaway:
The only way to learn is by doing, IMO. I decided to throw caution to the wind and go ahead with the encryption. Here's my experience with it for future reference and a warning to anyone who attempts it.

I had the following installed already before I started:

Slim-4.4.2.beta.1.6-WEEKLY-2037

pa_gapps-full-4.4-20131126

TWRP 2.6.3.3

The full pa_gapps posed a serious problem because that version (and the new Google Stock PA Gapps package) removes the AOSP keyboard and installs Google Keyboard.

WARNING! If using PA Gapps, use the Full Modular or Mini Modular Package, both do not remove anything.

You must choose a PIN as your security, this will be the 'password' used to decrypt and boot. I started the Encrypt process from the Settings > Security menu. Following the directions that appear onscreen made the process easy. Before and after the process the phone will reboot. After the process has finished, your phone will boot up only displaying two options:

Type password to decrypt storage

Emergency Call button

If you press the power button, you have the option to reboot (reboot, recovery, bootloader) or power off.

Here is where I encountered my only problem. Because I only had Google Keyboard installed, I could not enter the PIN code required to boot into Slimkat! This screen is expecting input from the AOSP keyboard. Without it, you can not boot into Slimkat.

After a brief panic, I used the option to boot into recovery. When TWRP started, thankfully a keyboard popped up and asked me to enter my decryption password. In recovery I did a factory reset, formatted /system, and flashed only the Slimkat beta zip.

After a reboot, the AOSP keyboard appeared and I was able to enter the password(PIN) and Slim booted fine for me.

The moral of the story, check to make sure you have AOSP keyboard installed before attempting the encryption. I know my issue stemmed from me not using the slimteam's gapps, however if someone had installed an alternate keyboard and removed the AOSP keyboard the result would've been the same.

So, a question to the devs, can the decrypt screen be changed to choose the keyboard selected on the ROM, the keyboard that was selected when the initial encryption process started?

I apologize for the long and rambling post, but I had no sleep last night. If there is anything that needs clarification, let me know. Hope this post helps anyone who attempts to encrypt in the future.

I've either deleted or frozen them from GB->ICS->JB->KK.4.4.2. Usually I just deleted them but since frequently trying a few kernels that need to dirty flash existing rom, they will be reappear in system. Freeze them will stayed frozen as it is even after reflashing rom.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] klaust58:
Nice idea to freeze or deinstall or freeze the exchange service :D

I need this to access my office account!

Help to solve the problem is very welcome!

According to Google, exchange service bug was fixed with the the 4.4.1 update. I switched to touchdown on 4.4 due to the exchange service bug which gets stuck and drains heavy battery. Touchdown uses it's own active sync service. Later I didn't switch back to stock email app. But I would be surprised if it's still not fixed by Google. Or is it not fixed in slimkat?

Kufikugel made a statement here (there are other Statements about halo form the developers, but I was to lazy to search)

There was also a post in google+ about halo, but I can't find it at the moment.

Rarely do I use speech to text but the last two times that it's happened to me my device has rebooted. Not sure if it's useful to grab a bug report after the phone rebooted but I did anyway. https://www.box.net/s/ytpry1sb4no8bnwsys4o

Ooops...in the afternoon, i injected email/exchange from a stock rom on my n4 and n7. Looks good, nothing happens and ~99% deep sleep.

Now, i will flash back the original versions and see if it happens again this night.

Good evening, I'm unable to pair the wireless display with my TV, apps like allcast work, but mirror the phone's screen on the TV does not work. Anyone else with this problem? note: beta 1.6

Only as a supplement, I have another nexus 4 with all stock and works 100% on the same network and tv

is there any way to get the google experience launcher app drawer back to 5x4 grid icons rather than 5x5? I tried reinstalling GEL, but after reboot it reverts back to 5x5
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] WiseManWhite:
I wonder why Google got rid of text reflow in the browser? Seems like a step backward to have to zoom in and then scroll from side to side in order to read everything.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Kurre:
Quick search in this thread with keywords "gel reboot" told me that you should force close Google Search to fix those grid issues. There's also a init.d file to do it automatically upon booting.

Hey, what are u running? Slimkat i presume, kernel? Radio? I tried with the hybrid radio today, that dident help. And i saw that someone replyed on my post saying i should use the builtin bugreport, i tried that, all that did was to tell me that a file was saved in a folder called Slim, but there is no folder called Slim, i understand that that would be the preferred way of reporting a bug. Trying to attach the folder bugreport and the .zip file. Cant see it in windows eplorer tho, only in the phone explorer..

Edit: Finally managed to get the bugreport from the phone, just hoping this is the correct way of doing it, could someone let me know if it is not?

Over night, no problem, but after playing around the last hours, the problem appears again. Attached the bugreport.zip of the last ~two hours and a log.txt/zip i extracted with the device monitor of the sdk. The screenshot shows this period ... flightmode!

hi pete...everything stock...I think it is random...you cannot find slim folder?strange....
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Pete_79:
Hey bud,

Alltight, just as me then, thanks. One thing i have noticed it that when im home, and on WiFi i dont get as many disconnects compared to if im out, driving for example. So im suspecting the radio now aswell. I did find the Slim folder, and i attached the bugreport in my last post. Just hoping someone have time to look at it, and that i reported it correctly this time.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mercado_Negro:
No, it's not included in 1.7. It's coming along nicely, I must admit. Kufi and Kroz have done a great job so far but it still needs a lot of work. Maybe next week ;)

Well, theme engine comes from cm, cm11 android 4.4 isn't out, so its not much a surprise. Even when theme engine is fixed, there are no builds of 4.4 for aokp/pac/pa or cm so there are no compatible themes:p
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kufikugel:
the thing is it was already from technically view not well working on 4.2 and 4.3. It is slow, more and more apps do not allow to theme this way (see hangouts, gmail etc etc). For us theme engine reached its end after 2 years of great support. It is just time for something new. TRDS showed us and other roms (as you know this is included in nearly every rom) that there are ways to keep theme support on all apps without losing performance. That said a new theme system will arrive after we have time to develop it to the end. We talked short to other roms which do agree on this. No idea what CM will do. But that is not our problem :p But at least they should see that with this attempt they will lose from month to month more apps where they are not able to theme anymore due of technical restrictions this themen engine has

so...but why I am here....new update

Fixes Last version:

- added advanced reboot menu

- added notification light controll

- added battery light controll

- added Slims PrivacyGuardManager new edition (extended one of the one we developed for CM)

- new gapps package with minor fixes (please download the new one to have the backup system working)

- added gapps backup system for gapps (no need to flash gapps every time new after this update)

- some minor fixes

- dsp engine fix

gapps: http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/978-addons4-4/downloads/dlsearch

build: http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/613-mako

maguro, toro, grouper and later manta builds will show up as well in some minutes for the guys who are interested.

ah I want to say something about ART...guys please realize that this is still an experimental feature from google and that there is a reason that this is hidden. It is for developing and testing purposes and not for daily use. Every request when we will fix it...we did not break it :p. It does not work perfectly and only with workarounds due that it is not developed to the end by google. If we fix it and work on it this will be definitly on the lower priority ;) Normal dalvik works good....and when we do our usual optimizations it is fast as expected.

ART is playground for us developer at the moment and if advanced users want to play with it of course you can.....but reports or logcats is at the moment for ART useless. And I think we will not see any rom in the next month with default ART activated as well not googles AOSP ;)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Maurice5813:
Yeah I here android is getting way more strict. I'm starting to head away from it. Root seems to get harder due to the new coding Google has setup, but yet it seems they still think they own the phone after they sell it to us. After all, we all thought better of Google, but it seems this is true, Google is like the rest:mad:

I also heard that Google is making restrictions on themes as you mentioned. Even the Xposed framework developer has mention problems about getting it to configure properly. But with time hopefully 5.0 won't be "unusable" as I couldn't use stock at all, every phone or tablet I get has to be rooted and customized, but Google seems to be heading to that type of world:p
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kufikugel:
na you are a bit to hard to the google guys. I try to sumarize it short

root: yes they restrict it way more then before due of new security stuff. But the aim is not to prevent root....they want to get app devs to use this new security to avoid having root which breaks nearly all security systems. Lets see if they now finally push the API documentation for selinux out. If they have implemented it well (and documented...did not have time till now to look what they did code and documentation wise) apps are able to get the permissions they need without root. But apps do get only the one permission they requested. So you have both cases...way more security and still working apps. That in mind most apps in future can use it. At least only firewalls and such stuff will always need root. But apps like filemanagers and the usual stuff we use will get an alternative in future

about theming.....yes it is harder...but at least google just added new ideas and other ways to do it. Keep in mind that theme engine is a pre ICS things...and it is simply absolutly outdated. So new things must and will come for sure. First step you saw with trds which can theme all parts of an app even parts theme engine was never able to do. This with a theme interface is in our opinion the future. Just discussed that not long ago with PA to go this way

so all in all yeah it is a bit annoying...but for all they will be solutions :)
