[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
I just make it a habit to always flash latest su binaries with each rom install anyways. We have the same situation on the N7. For whatever reason sometimes superuser appears to not work at all or only partially when flashing a rom/kernel combo, so I would just say to flash the binaries at each rom flash just to be safe. Even if unnecessary, it only takes a second to add it in to the flash sequence and hurts nothing if it wasn't needed but in some cases may save some headaches after first boot.

That's interesting that you say that about your data connection with Sprint btw. I'm on an AT&T MVNO, and my phone signal AND data connection will sometimes cut out all together. Noticed yesterday that it did it roughly about a dozen times throughout the day just for brief periods, probably about 10 to 15 seconds at a time. However, I haven't had a chance to investigate it at all. Don't know if it's rom related, or kernel, or radios, or hardware, so I still have some digging to do, but if you find anything out a little feedback would be good. It'll probably be exceedingly difficult to get any logs on my end because it's so random. Have to dig into this one a bit. Kind of off topic with the next thing, but anybody know of an app to help diagnose with connectivity problems? I know I've read in the past that there are some good apps out there, but never used them before so any help there would be appreciated also. :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] finalrequiem:
I will start over and take some notes about what happens and when it happens with the kernel that comes with the ROM and then again, with Franco's kernel and see if I can get you some better info.

whether for you also in the Internet app, catches FC when opening a new tab in Incognito mode?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Cool, OK. I'm using Faux, so I'll ask around in his G+ community too. Don't know if it's ROM related or not, but I'll try to research on my end too. I'm gonna switch to T-Mobile myself this week because AT&T is horrible in where I'm at in downtown Chicago anyways. I'm sure there's threads on this in Q&A so I'll just post really relevant possibly ROM related stuff here. It would be good to figure out if it's ROM related or not though.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
Ah okay then what Poser said is correct.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AndrasLOHF:
I'm using SlimKat with Faux on Sprint. I did get stuck on the Activating Mobile Data part of the setup process but just skipped it, did a couple reboots, and data has been working fine for me. When I flashed coming from stock I wiped data/system/cache/davlik cache, rebooted to bootloader, then booted back into recovery(TWRP 2.6.3.2), and flashed SlimKat, Slim Gapps, and Faux.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Poser:
You can use AFV (a free hash comparison tool in play store) as well. The hashes are usually found in the same place as the downloads, in small blue subscript below the file... see below

Oddly enough, it is missing. Perhaps Nebs or Kufi can help with that

Well, there... something we agree on. That is great advice. Whenever I push over a folder with ROM/KERNEL combo...I always include the latest superSU. Cures a lot of what can ail one.

I have used a couple of different ROM/KERNEL combos and have had a similar problem... but never on stock. I was trying Cataclysm/ElemntalX and whenever I had Smart Radio enabled (it changes power states of Radio based on set criteria... screen state, wifi connection etc...kinda like tasker) it would drop mobile data for a few seconds... or until a hot reboot. Granted this is introducing more complexity... but I was having similar issues on Faux/Franco combo with SlimKat as well. The only difference... is that phone signal would fluctuate rapidly... but never completely drop out. Data would go completely dead.

I don't know if the RILs are open-source... I know in the past samsung protects theirs like state secrets, not sure about LG. That may be why it is happening cross-carrier on non factory images

I am on T-mobile for the record.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Sounds like your flashing steps are pretty good. I just installed the 1.2 alpha today with faux. I didn't have any hangups with activating mobile data though. I'll finish setting my phone up the way I like it, do a nand, wipe all and then reinstall without faux and then watch it when I'm at work tomorrow. If I might ask, have any of the slim team run into signal or data issues in alpha testing?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jorgis1:
I too can also say that at random times I lose data connection. (Sprint) I have encountered it both with stock and franco kernel so I do not think that the kernels are the issue. Flashed purity rom few days back, and I was never able to get data working on that ROM. Dont know if its because i skipped activation (also skipped on this rom but got data working anyway.) So, I can only guess it to be some sort of ROM specific bug. Other than that, this is by far the best ROM, so im sticking with it. A reboot here and there is not a problem..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Cuzz1369:
Slim changes the DPI to 261 for some weird reason. Stock default is 4 rows on the home screen and 5 in the dock. You can change the DPI manually by editing the build prop.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Weird reason? I always feel like a retard on stock dpi because everything is so ****ing huge. I'm always just like: "I'm not ****ing blind, google."
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Cuzz1369:
It is too big, but slim DPI is way too small. I go for about 420. Everyone has a preference.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ChazzMatt:
261 is microscopic. I like the stock 480 dpi on my 5" Nexus 5 screen -- but even when I was on my 4.65" Galaxy Nexus I always changed back to the the 320 dpi stock. If you like a little smaller, fine but 261 for a 5" 480dpi display? :eek: Almost drove me crazy because in this 4.4 alpha you can NOT change the dpi in the SlimKat settings, like you could with 4.3. I went through all the settings several times looking for it -- which was hard because I couldn't even hardly read them, everything so small.

And the density setting is MISSING -- or at least I couldn't find it. :confused: Had to use Build Prop Editor to changes the density back. I don't understand making the density so minute in the first place, but if you do, at least make it easy to fix the issue?

SUGGESTION: Why can't stock density for each device be the default? Then put the density settings in if people want to change it? You know stock will work, but 261 does NOT work well with the Nexus 5.

The trend is for bigger phones. Almost all the top tier Android phones this year were 5" (except for HTC One). In the future will just get bigger. Slim ROMs sticking with 261 dpi is not forward thinking.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bikeryder007:
It is easy to fix. A simple build prop change that anyone in the Dev forum should know how to do. All the hard work they are putting in this ROM should be thanked, not whined about.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] PippoX3:
It's a classic: SlimRoms always come out with a smaller dpi to increase work area. I prefer default, and in my build I add my stuff (apps, widgets and ringtones) that I like.

And cut out the routine that change the DPI in the squisher fase, if anyone is interested, is enough to "comment" this 2 rows:

from:

elif [ "$DEVICELCD" = "480" ]; then

sed -i 's/ro.sf.lcd_density=480/ro.sf.lcd_density=361/g' $OUT/system/build.prop

to:

# elif [ "$DEVICELCD" = "480" ]; then

# sed -i 's/ro.sf.lcd_density=480/ro.sf.lcd_density=361/g' $OUT/system/build.prop

Note. Few hours ago SlimTeam has merged the commit "customizable Power Menu" :p
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bartolinio:
I'm sorry that I recall, but someone will confirm/deny?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] PippoX3:
I can confirm it. Internet browser --> New incognito tab ---> FClose. :(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Poser:
261 is rather small...

IOn the Galaxy S4, slimbean defaulted to 361... which I find is just perfect.

Half a sleep I downloaded the latest version flashed and then was like, wtf where did Pie go?

Took me like 5 minutes to realize that I flashed RC2 :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tiestoycc:
I hope it will be fixed in RC3. Could be I'm the only one having issues with the gapps. I don't see anyone else having issues with missing gapps.

I live in the Netherlands and would like to know if I can set a reverse lookup provider for the dialer. In the screenshots of this feature I can see they use google (businesses) as the default but there is no such thing in my list.

The Google lookup provider is only for forward, it is set by default.

Just flashed RC3 and everything is runnig great! Thnx to all of devs for this master piece :)

Just one small thought - would it be possible to limit trigger area for new slim PIE to certain area - e.g. just middle of the screen +-25 % ... ? I know LMT launcher has this feature.

Because when using Swype for typing I am constantly activating PIE control.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] coolek33:
I think it will be here at some point cause it was before. We have only 4 options for trigger customisation ATM.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] reddvilzz:
Saw the title of the thread still rc2 i thought build is not uploaded yet. But title lied to me lol :p
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] h4gH:
Nice to hear that this one was already here (on my old phone - S1 I wasnt using PIE as there was no need for such a small screen). Well, then we will have to just wait a little more ;)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dark_ente:
I'm sure it'll come eventually
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shr33kant:
I suppose when you think about it, there aren't any roms in the Android development thread based on slim because there isn't much else that you can add on to it that it doesn't already have (Apart from lock screen notifications which you can use an app to do and theme engine which I believe the team is going to rewrite from scratch).

Tbh I'm surprised more people don't use it as a base for their own roms instead of things like cm.

Now that there's pie and the new dialer I expect a lot more people in this thread which is just more of a testament to the great work the slim team is doing :).

If you're using TWRP do an advanced wipe also and check dalvik cache, cache, data, and system (not internal storage) and wipe. That always works for me as well as doing the factory reset wipe that first pops in the wipe screen. Then flash your rom, gapps, and photosphere add on. (make sure you are using all the "4.4 build" zip files and not the old beta zips)

Unless you are devoted to a specific kernel dev or there is some feature of a kernel you need that Slim's kernel doesn't have, Slim's custom kernel is more than sufficient. It's smooth as hell and I usually wind up with 4+ hours screen on time, and close to 3 hours bluetooth music playback over a 14 hour period and will usually have 25-35% battery remaining.

I was just about to ask about the rc3 kernel and how it performs since people have had a little time to run the new rom now. Ive been using francos kernel and it seems like there has been a lot of ram being used unusually. Thinking of giving the rc3 kernel a go for a while and see how it acts. As far as gaming (i like 3d rpg type stuff) do you notice any lags or performance drops at higher temps on slim kernel? Any lags with scrolling or any performance issues at all? Thanks.
