I was wondering...

Since my father is taking my good ol' gnex, I'm willing to let him experience the wonders of SlimKat instead of giving him stock 4.3.0

I won't be able to mantain the phone, though, and I doubt that he'll be able to do it himself. Is there a way to have SlimKat with official gapps? Or to make it so that Play Store and other self updating app are... still self updating?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pilotn:
Yes, gapps are updated normally when a new version came out
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lightingcloud:
Really? O_o I thought that Play Store was modified so that it wouldn't update by itself (for the multi dpi and trds thing). Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pilotn:
Of course you will loose trds

?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natakranta:
You are right, play store will not update by itself because it would lose multi DPI support.

Gapps can be update manually or automatically in play store (depends what you chose), but if app requires new permission you need to approve update in play.

For my father I'd set dpi to stock 320 so you don't need Slim multi DPI play store. In this case you can use PA gapps or Banks gapps.

(Somebody correct me if I'm wrong).

Love SlimKat but quicklaunch top bar is missing

I Love SlimKat but I miss the top bar icons that CM had. The ones that show up above notifications when you pull down the menu.

Also, is there an easy way to add the flashlight ability to the phone without having to download apps from play store?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natakranta:
Go to settings and add Torch tile in Quick Settings. You have your flash light on/off. You can add it as well to SlimPie, navbar, Ringer Targets.

Slim = Options ;)

For notification panel, go to it's settings and add Shortcuts. You can choose any app or Slim action or Slim shortcut to appear there. But icons will be on the bottom of the notification panel, not on the top above the notifications as you desire. At the bottom they are easier to access when operating with one hand.

The Answer to The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is: CLEAN FLASH.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zacharybinx34:
Thanks.

Is there a way to make it not autoclose the pull down when I press the flashlight toggle?

And can I set it to toggle wifi - silent/ringer on/vibrate - and WIFI Tethering?

I don't see settings for those to work in a toggle mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolek33:
You miss those?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natakranta:
Ring/vib/silent is under Slim Actions (scroll to the bottom)

I don't see WiFi toggle and WiFi tethering (WiFi Access Point) there, but these are under Quick Settings tiles.

The Answer to The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is: CLEAN FLASH.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zacharybinx34:
Yes, how did you do that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolek33:
Tasker, chamber of secrets and shortcuts in notification drawer. Familiar with those?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zacharybinx34:
No I am not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolek33:
Hmmm. Than it could be a little problematic. But hey let me show you how Chamber works. You should get a GPS shortcut with it. If you want more you will install Tasker sooner or later ;) Go to dev settings and tap empty space at the end of the list. Voila Chamber unlocked. Now go to interface settings, notification drawer and shortcuts. Add slim shortcuts and Chamber of secrets of course. Type Location_mode. Ok and yes for checkbox, pick some name if you want for it. And now you can change the icon for it. You got your first shortcut that works like GPS toggle in drawer BTW :) practice this first. I have to be bored right now to write this. And I'm repeating my self if I remember right. Just don't know in witch thread.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zacharybinx34:
Awesome thanks. How about for WIFI and the others then? Not sure the commands.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolek33:
Well for other toggles I used Tasker cause Chamber strings don't work for me. Made a task for every toggle (Tasker can everything) and it's just a shortcut to every task.

After installing 8.10 I have a problem with Gapps.

I tried 8.0. gapps, and 8.x. newer build, but I still get that google play services are missing (so gapps are not working).

These 8.0.-265 mini were working great for me, with all previous versions.

I tried to clear cache, reflashed the whole thing 2 times, formated system etc. I have no idea left.

I prefer not to do a factory reset today...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolek33:
Flash latest beta gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] monnezzas:
It was a complex question?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theBlackEnd:
No, it wasn't. But you could have found the answer yourself by searching "slimkat" in the kernel thread, or reading the FAQs of the kernel.

In short, you could flash ANY (almost any) [maguro] kernel on any [maguro] ROM. Just use the zip file for KitKat.

If it doesn't work, let us and [MENTION=4608636]bsmitty83[/MENTION] know and dirty flash your ROM before flashing another kernel. That's it.

PS: Also, check THIS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolek33:
It wasn't tough question. People are using dirty V with slimkat if I remember right. Hit that thread and ask witch ver will work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fleckdalm:
Sorry, i really havent read through that thread as the rom isnt suitable for my device. I just saw that it stated to have no bugs at the first post...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rakpere:
GPS works fine (Finland) Clean install and PA Gapps. Overall one random reboot in almost 24h runtime with mpokang kernel. Only thing that is bit annoying is those graphical glitches in certain apps (Facebook, Instagram and so on.) Otherwise rom works just fine. Google account set up nicely and fetched my apps from Play store. Nice work Slim. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] memnoc:
Because you're running a 4.3 ramdisk on a 4.4 rom.. The 1080 version works because it works with the 4.4 ramdisk not having a ramdisk itself.. So now you don't need to wipe all partitions just system to delete the mopkang ramdisk from the first kernel flash so you could simply do

Format system

Format cache

Flash rom

Flash gapps

Flash mopkang 1080

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rakpere:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Great ROM so far.

Fixes needed to make 4.4 useable:

- Random freezes and reboots

- Graphics issues (partially black screen and animation distortions)

- GPS doesn't work. GMaps doesn't find anything

- IMO: Set dpi to 320 per default
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lesp4ul:
Mine stuck at 729Mhz, what kernel version and setting do you use? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rakpere:
I use latest 1080p Mpokang with these settings:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Guys,

Could you please stop talking about kernels for a moment.

I don't mind it in the stable threads but this thread is really for developing and proper bug reports.

So please discuss it elsewhere for the moment.

Thank you and have fun.

I'm popping up to say I've just sold my Maguro with SlimKat 8.10 riding on Fancy r.60 to new happy owner.

I'd like to thank whole Slim team for their great ROM, continues work and support to aged device. Well done! You're the best!

Special thanks go to [MENTION=4790322]kufikugel[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3609932]Nebucatnetzer[/MENTION] who were wonderful duo on SlimBean thread when I started my adventure with Slim ROMs over a year ago.

My last Antutu scores with above config and overclock CPU to 1400mhz were 15300 and 15200.

I know benchmarks mean s... But it still brings smile to my face.

I'll be missing you Maguro, my first smartphone.

Weekly 8.12 is out
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lightingcloud:
So, I changed the dpi to 320 by directly modifying build.prop inside the zip with a text editor before flashing the rom.

I've installed the stock PAgapps package... now I'm rebooting. Let's see.

EDIT: modifing the zip directly didn't work (weird) but I managed to download textdroider and to set stock dpi with it. That's weird... XD

Edit2: sorry admin, the weird thing is seeing my gnex back to 320dpi :) now I'm trying to understand with the pa gapps team if everything went fine

EDIT3: looks like modifying the DPI in the bulid.prop even before flashing it didn't work either, so he'll have a gnex with stock 4.3.0. That's a pity, but really nothing I could do. Thanks a lot!

[MENTION=4790322]kufikugel[/MENTION] The weeklies are very stable for GNex but still the last build that is tagged as stable is 7.0 and there was no 8.0 build that is tagged as stable. Just wanted to ask if this is because of no active device maintainer for GNex anymore, just so that we don't get our hopes high on SlimLP for GNex.

Need Help

Guys I your help. My phone is unusable because as soon as I unlock android.systemui crashes and I get a black screen and then phone locks again after 2 sec.

Problem is I have forced fast charge enabled in trickster mod and I am not able to load rom to reflash using adb because the device is showing as offline.

How do I flash my device now? There are no roms or kernels available in device to flash. I am running slimkat 4.4.2

I have TWRP
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolek33:
Can't you go to trickster (as soon as phone boots and before trickster set) and disable this feature (or settings on start)? If not, don't worry you have twrp ;) Put your rom and gapps on flash drive (fat32) boot into recovery, Mount USB otg. Flash straight from USB stick or copy files to sd card with twrp file manager. That was first method. Second one is based on mtp feature in twrp(2.8.1.0 for example). Connect to pc, enable mtp in twrp and reboot recovery. And then copy files.

Edit. But the easiest way would be wiping data partition from recovery :p (if trickster is problem here of course)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alcus:
Updated from Stable 7.0 to 9.0 the other day.

Love it. Thanks again to everyone involved in all the hard work to keep our Maguro up to date.

I am having one issue but I’ll post a separate note as it may be something at my end.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alcus:
For quite a while, I have read posts about battery life.

I have been trying to narrow down the problem and I believe I have found it.

The battery drains even when the phone is turned off. Please see screenshot. I have tested this and confirmed it using various Maguros.

If you want to duplicate the test to see for yourself, it is easy to replicate.

Fully charge your phone, turn it off, turn it back on in three days. You will have only about 25% charge remaining. Do not attempt this test by simply testing it overnight. If the time period is too short, the drainage does not always reflect in the battery report. It takes about two days before you see the battery loss immediately after rebooting the device.

I realize that we have no device manager at this time but if anyone knows what is causing this drain, I would love to hear from you as I have not been able to find anything in this thread to help me correct the issue.

PS – I have already toggled off Device Administrators / Android Device Manager. I am assuming that the toggle is actually disabling this option but I do not know how to confirm that. I wish I could do more to correct this issue but regretfully, I would not know what to do next. If I can be of assistance to help correct the issue, please let me know what you need. I tried BBS but it only records if the phone is running.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gwindlord:
Definitely sounds like hardware issue. Maybe something with charging slot?.. Common maguro issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natakranta:
When phone is off there should be no usage at all. There must be a short-circuit discharging the battery.

When I had my Maguro, I was using Samsung extended 2000mAh battery. The original battery was fully charged and left in the box. I checked it after half a year to see how much it discharged itself "to the air ". I don't remember precisely, but it was still charged way over 90% after half a year!

So if a battery in switched off phone is draining from 100% to 25% in 3 days there must be a micro short-circuit sucking it.

At first I suspected hardware as well. The batteries are fine. Left out of the phone, they hold the charge fine. I've tested multiple batteries. I've tested multiple Maguro, they all drain. Battery does not drain if I reinstall the stock rom.

I appreciate the confirmation. Hopefully other members will run the test. I'll buy anyone a beer that can figure it out.

Screencast recording on SlimKat KK 4.4.4

I am new to slimkat and was wondering how to screencast using ui features to trigger the recording.

For screenshot it's Power+Vol-

I know dirty unicorns and CM11 use combos of HW keys to start a recording. CM11 uses Power+Vol_Up

Can't find it for SlimKat, so I need to ask: Is it implemented?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natakranta:
I sold my Maguro 3 months ago but as far as I remember it was not implemented.

You can try push screencast.apk to /settings/priv-app with any files explorer with root access and set permissions to the same as all other files in that directory. Then reboot. Screencast will show as an app in app drawer.

The Answer to The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is: CLEAN FLASH.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chris@xda:
That appears to be a workaround, nevertheless I would prefer to have a built-in function that is triggered by a key combo.

Thanks a lot for your support ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natakranta:
Don't count on having it built in. SlimKat development was stopped on stable 9.

Did you try at least? Does Screencast.apk I linked work for you?

I don't quite get what you mean that you would prefer that it's triggered by a key combo. Like a tile in Quick Settings? You can set the app as a custom tile in quick settings. When you start recording your screen, a notification comes out with button to stop it.

I don't know what else you would like to have.
