Not much to see, but here it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pvkiniyan95:
afaik slimkat has nova launcher which can customised to have both transparent and opaque nav and status bars
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lightingcloud:
And I said that I have transparent status bar... can't see the option for the nav bar, though. As I said, yesterday it "worked" but after rebooting the nav bar was black again. And apart the wallpaper I changed nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pvkiniyan95:
i get it, just try enabling and disabling them so things might get sable ...probably a leftover
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lightingcloud:
I actually noticed that although the menu should say "transparent system bar" or something like this, mine says "transparent status bar". Curious... nothing changed even after deleting the app data. Leftovers from a previous installation?

Deleting the Launcher from the ROM with SlimSizer and installing it back from the play store colud change something?

EDIT: solved, tried an email to the developer and his answer was the actual solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny1976:
Well I did a full wipe as per the instructions (TWRP choose advanced in wipe section and wipe dalvik cache, cache, system and data). I think I got it fixed by removing Avast Antivirus, and other apps. I downloaded Memory Usage, CPU Usage& Process List Viewer, Battery Doctor (Battery Saver) with Clean Master - Free Optimizer and was able to change some settings and reduce Battery, CPU, Memory consumption. As of now, everything seems to be working smoothly. I think the issue was app related and nothing to do with the Slimrom.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ashtrix:
Do not bloat your device with non productive apps, if u want a memory optimizer use the clean master which works well and Slimroms do work very stable plus the updates makes it more smooth, as for kernel it depends on your personal preference.....:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny1976:
For the Galaxy Nexus GSM, What kernel do you recommend? I am not an expert on Linux or programming so this is new to me. I am just finding out the the kernel on any rom can be changed. I see on your profile you are using Fancy Kernel. Are you using r50?

---------- Post added at 01:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------

I did some research and many people like Franco Kernel or Leankernel. Why do you prefer Fancy kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxSAKISxx:
I am on last stable Slimkat and i dont change DirtyV kernel (pimped with [MENTION=2853378]Nephilim[/MENTION] kernel settings) no matter what. Super perfect combo at least for me. Thank you Slim Team. You do grate work.

Hi i flashed this rom to my friend's galaxy nexus phone, everything is fine except i am not getting root access for titanium backup its giving me this error. I can easily found superuser in advanced option in settings but root is not working?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ashtrix:
Sorry mate as for the kernel thing it's up to the user, fancy's dev updates his work often that helps me to get an updated kernel for our 2 Yr old device ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agayabag:
Go to developer options and enable root access by choosing apps and adb on root access tab. Use 3rd party app called textdroider_dpi to change the dpi. Read first page before asking.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LibertyMonger:
This answer was not correct for me, I had to install SuperSU from the playstore after I flashed the SUperSU zip. I have had to do this on every build even though others said it was not required.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ashtrix:
Use PhilZ touch then u will have an unroot option with that u can clean the whole SU from the system then direct installation from playstore works or You can get a Busybox on rails app then clean and re-install the SuperSU.

^This used to work for me when the TWRP for our device was broken, since then i'm on PhilZ touch and it works great :good: !!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolek33:
There's a FAQ section on slimroms.net all your questions are answered there plus some future questions U might want to ask.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
This is answer should be correct for all people who use stock Slim.

Hi.

The Play Store isn't multi dpi, right? Because I can't find some apps I usually download. I already flashed a multi dpi one, but it didn't work.

Edit: Somehow it's showing up now.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natakranta:
Slim Play Store is multi DPI.

Because Slim default DPI is different from stock DPI it's advised to use Slim gapps for Slim ROMs instead of others (which might not have multi DPI Play Store)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wess786:
Ah. That's why it didn't work. I flashed the regular gapps hehe. ?

Man...waiting for new build is the hardest way to pass time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agritux:
I have a silly question.

Is the slim gapps updates itself if there is a new version of google play store?

If it updated itself, can we use TRDS with it?

I have never used slim gapps. I always used banks gapps but now i want to use slim gapps with new V5 slim kat
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Our gapps don't update themselves.

You always have to flash the packages we provide to get the newest version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agritux:
It is the answer! Thank you!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natakranta:
I'd add to the above manually format system in recovery, there's been a lot of changes from build 4 to 5, in both ROM and gapps (which sit on system partition and are preserved be restoration script if you don't format system manually).

Why not do a clean flash and have absolutely zero problems afterwards?

It doesn't take that much time and you can back up user apps with titanium to restore their data after they get auto restored from Play after initial account settings after clean flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LibertyMonger:
I always make a backup and then dirty flash the new build by only wiping system, cache and dalvik and it has been working very well for me lately and if i do have issues I just restore my backup until I find time to clean flash. Need my phone for work. So far so good! SlimKat has been very stable for me only issue I have is battery drain. I am thinking my batteries are going bad, it has been over 2 years so it is probably due for a new battery. Thanks Slim team for the continued support it is much appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natakranta:
I do the same. I do nandroid and dirty flash new weekly. As long as I come across a bug I can't get rid of, like gmail not sending emails, then I clean flash. It usually solves 99.99% problems.

I do a clean flash for stable labeled build - it's good to clean the room once a month ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxSAKISxx:
i run Slimkat on my maguro since stable build 3 always with clean flash when new stable is uploaded from the awesome slim team. I am just curious about something. There is a really big difference between clean flash a rom and flash stock image first and then flash a custom rom except sd card wipe with the second way?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolek33:
What? What do you need flash stock image before for? Wipe cache, dalvick, data and system for clean flash or cache, dalvick and system for dirty. I'm doing it the 2nd way for 2 months on my devices with slim every week.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxSAKISxx:
thank you for your reply mate. Yeah i know how the clean flash works. Wipe system - data - cache - dalvik. i also do it that way but i was just curious if flashing factory image (not in every rom upgrade) help custom rom settle better on the phone with maybe less bugs. that's all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drmxmyt:
thats totally nonesense. whats the difference? just too much hassle for nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natakranta:
If you don't have any persistent problem which stays even after clean flash there's no point in fastboot flashing factory images. That would be overkill and waste of time.

Fastboot flash Google factory images only if your phone gets really screwed up, when you can't solve the problem with custom recovery wipes and ROM clean flash. An example could be when one of partitions get corrupted.

Once I had to do it to get rid of GPS bug which was resistant to all wipes / formats in recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pvkiniyan95:
guys basically now all roms first unmount the system partition then format it and then copies file to it...

so flashing stock image before is a total waste of time but if its satisfactory then nobody is going to stop u, do what u like ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
This is true however keep in mind that there exist backup scripts therefore it might still be necessary to wipe /system.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agritux:
if i remove CloudPrint2.apk from slim gapps package, what happens?

To do a clean job doing so:

wipe cache

Wipe Dalvik Cache

wipe system

flash new gapps

flash new rom

reboot

You do not lose any data ;)

Hi guys :)

So, I'm trying to do a clean install (I had some minor problem, so the new stable is a good occasion). I did a factory wipe and wiped system, cache and dalvik. I flashed SlimRom and gapps and now my phone is restoring the previously installed apps... but I have a doubt: when I go to Play Store I see that the apps I previously bought are showing their "price tags" even though they appear in the "my apps" tab. Which is pretty strange, since I bought them. Is it normal and will be fixed at the end of the backup or I did something wrong and should restore my nandroid?

Secondly, when I'll open Titanium Backup to restore the datas it will ask about restoring the previous device ID... what should I do? Change back with the previous one or keeping the new one?

Thanks in advance (please answer quickly if possible, I'll need my phone back in an hour or so).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natakranta:
Restore previous id in titanium. Reboot. Let play store install missing apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lightingcloud:
I can let the phone finish the actual restore or I have to start over?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natakranta:
Let it finish current restore. You will see if it downloaded all your apps - go to titanium and see what's left under Restore missing apps. If there still is something which should auto install from play then reboot the phone and give it few minutes to see if it status auto installing remaining apps from play. If not, go to titanium and restore old I'd. Reboot and see if it helps.

Paid apps shouldn't be displayed with prices after that. I've never seem prices on apps I've already paid, just install button.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ashtrix:
And as usual the new v5 update works great...

Thanks again Slim team :good: !!

Here is recorded sound. It's overwritten every time. For call recording try some app. SlimKat doesn't have that feature.

Thanks. That does seem logical and I looked there many times. For some reason, the style word just looked like some kind of title for that page rather than something that would open more options =-O I feel so dumb. And I've been flashing for about 6 years. :D Not sure why I didn't notice it. I guess I'd found it before but forgot. Peace out

So can we say soundrecorder.apk is for only quick recorder QS tile?

I remember that old versions (maybe very old) has an application in app drawer?

I was clean flashing 5.0 on Maguro yesterday. No problem with this annoying pop up window with Google play services error. Play services just required update, it displayed notification about it, tapping it brings you to play store play services app with update button.

Try opening Google apps until one of them asks you about play services update.

This error shouldn't appear on clean flash with new Slim gapps. It on all devices I've been clean flashing 5.0 it asked straight away for play services update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluesock:
Play Store doesn't work anymore. Of course not if the google play services are crashing....

I want to keep my data and not need to setup too many things again, so there must be a way that works with updating and keeping the data and not only with clean flashing? I guess the slimkat gapps would need to be updated to a newer version?

Maybe the following works? I will try later when I am at home, but maybe someone can still comment:

- boot to recovery

- backup, then wipe everything including data and flash slimkat v5 and slimkat v5 gapps, aka "clean flash"

- reboot

- update the google apps / play services (will it update them in the /system partition?)

- boot to recovery

- restore /data from backup

- reboot

- the updated play services will now be the same as previously and will understand the version 9 sqlite db ???

Not applicable to the average user that only has one Google account.

Only applies if you have more than one account on your device.

Most likely just another line of computer code that needs a different colour code as it is currently the same as the background.

This issue is not new. Older versions are the same.

Does not affect performance or anything else.*After a couple of*times*importing the contact*you*know which*selection to choose but it would be nice to have it fixed, if and when time allows.

Discrepancy*is easily duplicated.

Simply add a second Google account to your device.

This dark window comes up for you to choose which account to import to (text is also dark so it cannot be read).

I don't have any bootloops but timely keeps on FC'ing and the LCD density doesn't change, I think it's due to the newer AOSP sources as mentioned by Chainfire and the root seems to be broken maybe that's why i can't change my screen density (Fx explorer was not fine for a while ) correct me if i'm wrong for the above Root case & my UCCW widget on lockscreen was also gone :(

I have no idea because I have not yet gotten the new Play Store. I mentioned the PayPal payment inclusion to make sure if the person has really gotten his Play Store updated without flashing newer Slim GApps.
