Ours still isnt available! XD

Just noticed a 4.4.3 unofficial build in hammerhead weekly. But it's from April 1st lol
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tylog:
This Build was only a April Fool Joke, ignore it and wait on Weekly 4.2
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] thloe:
Why is hammerhad everytime the last with builds?? :(

Thought just as much haha

Just you, running on my phone fine.

Those who ask about lockscreen notifications give Dynamic Notifications a shot, its basically identical to Motorola's lockscreen notifications and is pretty good, had it since I had my HTC One. Can tweak it pretty well

Screenshot attached if you're curious.

Has a load of options and can edit a lot also

It would be awesome if we could enable Slim center to update weeklies as well. Perhaps they want to limit weeklies to a smaller group of people for testing purposes though.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
congrats man! i wish more people around here would take the time to learn how to build. most are intimidated and don't realize how easy it is once you get going!

:good:

---------- Post added at 08:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 AM ----------

precisely. hence the reason for weekly builds being located under the "unstable" section on their site.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] efan3719:
Just a friendly reminder on how to report an issue http://slimroms.net/index.php/bugs
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] blade_:
hm i have many problems after update.i get error "the process android process media has stopped in many apps
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kufikugel:
Go into recovery wipe system partition flash ROM flash gapps wipe dalvik and cache and reboot.

I do not have any problems lol. But this is what I would do in first step if something is strange.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] efan3719:
Try a clean install if you haven't already and produce a bugreport and attach it here if you actually want help.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kufikugel:
^^ second step if first fails :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] CaspaTheGhost:
Clean flash sorted the Google Music issues I was having, not surprising as I had been using TBO's version followed by Kufi's one, and we had the Gapps issues along the way too!

Sent from my Slim N5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] blade_:
thank you guys i know this steps,ill try it later
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] NaterTots:
I'm sorry, but if you "knew" the steps you never should have "reported" an issue.

I just flashed the latest and no issues here. Sleeps great too. Thanks Slim Team. :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] blade_:
just i dont want to do a full wipe,thats all :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] NaterTots:
Then don't come in here and complain. It's spelled out in the first post. Don't report an issue if you dirty flashed. Easy peasy
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] coolek33:
I have a feature request. Can U add answer a call with loud speaker on? It could be implemented to answer ring as swype down for example. I'm often getting calls in a car and the phone is in the holder but pointing my finger while driving on our roads here is hard :p what do you think about this feature guys?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] blade_:
Never mind, everything OK, after a simple reboot :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
even my mom knows about #2 :p
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GadgetLady:
I know I'm gonna regret asking, but I must..... Who/what is Jenkins?

Edit: did a little googling. Jenkins is the name of the build server, right?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] davej23:
The build machine. Builds the ROMs.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kufikugel:
That's Jenkins

Says my phone on Google search lmao :D

Jenkins is basically an open source software which is used in our case to take care of automated builds. So basically this system manages the builds and jobs. So syncing the source. Manage the 3 servers at the same time. Starting the builds. Publish the builds etc.

Easy said a build/script control and build environment for multiple platforms with a GUI
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GadgetLady:
Lol.... Wouldn't surprise me (the second one, that is!)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
while this is a good idea, i've got a tasker solution for you (if you use it - if not, just ignore my rambling...) this is something i'd do in a "driving" profile. it's up to you how you want to do the first context (so it knows you're currently driving - you can use bluetooth near, cell near, or something like autolocation plugin), but the second should be state > phone > call. for the task, do this: action > audio > speakerphone > on. this says, basically, "while i'm in the car and a phone call is in progress, turn speakerphone on."

do the opposite for the exit task.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TJKV:
That is indeed a very nice GUI :p

(hope i don't offend any female members here)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Buckster0978:
Lol...that's right
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] coolek33:
Yeah I saw your method earlier but I wanted it to be the part of the rom as a feature. Thanks anyway ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bikeryder007:
Hey Kufi,

Did any of those kernel merges you put in on the new build do anything to make it even quicker and smoother? I notice now in scrolling,

it is flying and it as smooth as it is on bricked. Just curious.

Clean install on 4.2 and everything is running better than ever.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AquilaDroid:
The clean install might be the reason!

From my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GadgetLady:
No offense taken. Kufi just happened to have my pic laying around! [emoji33]
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
i agree, it would be pretty sweet to swipe down for answer on speakerphone! just providing you an alternative, that's all :angel:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TJKV:
Hmmm...so kufi's doctor visits aren't acutally doctor visits? Unless you are a doctor :p
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GadgetLady:
Oh no, sorry Kufi, ... the secret's out!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] viny2cool:
Before people start bashing me, I did search the thread but couldn't get the answer. I have been using this rom since build 3 and it is working very good. Only issue is bluetooth connection with my car. whenever i talk to someone in my car on bluetooth paired with my phone, the sound quality is very bad. There are 10-15 seconds of huge disturbance and I can't hear what other person is saying and vice versa.

Is there any easy fix for that? I love this rom.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] muyoso:
Is there a FAQ that explains the auto brightness settings? I think I kind of understand most of it, but the adjustment sensitivity and the slider bar above it have me flummoxed. What are these settings doing? Does the adjustment sensitivity increase the polling rate of the sensor? I think the slider bar is like a global adjustment to the auto brightness, but I could be wrong.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Laggalot:
what are you guys going to do when google brings "hera" and the new task switcher ?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
i believe the article you read stated "rumor" in the title.

even so, rome wasn't built in a day and since this "rumor" just surfaced less than a day ago, i'm sure they don't have any definitive plans as of yet.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] efan3719:
If I understand it correctly you are adjusting the response to the different lux that the sensor detects.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sorceforge:
Could you do us a favor? It seems that a typo prevents us from connecting to the SKTelecom LTE apn(lte.sktelecom.com).

https://mobile.twitter.com/storyhe/status/453198576810598400/photo/1?screen_name=storyhe

As we all know, in the APN type, it should have been set as 'default,supl,mms,' but it is set as 'defaul,supl,mms.' You would understand what happened if you have read with care; it happened due to omission of the alphabet 't.'

Thus, I would like to ask it be corrected. Thank you. :D

p.s. I put this article to Omni thread, too.

I'd consider a full wipe if you haven't already. I connect to my watch, my car, headphones, and a jbl pill without issues regularly
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
omg i use the jbl charge, and for the size of that thing it sounds AMAZING!

the only thing that annoys me about android's bluetooth handling is there's no way to really prioritize device connection. it will always try to search for and connect to the last device you connected to (which will waste about 10 seconds for each device it tries to connect to before it finds one). i wish i could prioritize the order in which android tries to connect to bluetooth devices.

i've tried bluetooth auto connect from the play store but it's sketchy at best. i wish there was a way to do it natively.

other than that, i'm experiencing no issues with bluetooth.

I seemed to have lost my transparent Navbar. I did a clean install of 4.2 and for the life of me I cannot get the transparency back in the navbar either GEL or Nova launcher. Status bar is fine. Anyone else seeing this?

TIA

Edit: I re-downloaded 4.2 weekly and did a clean reinstall.

Everything is peachy........
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Like your sense of humor :) Hmmm, so that's your pic though huh?....so, Mrs Jenkins then? No wonder Mr Jenkins always takes so long to build then, you gotta stop distracting him so much. :D :p
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dia_naji:
I flashed this rom a couple of days ago and love it, but my signal suddenly stopped working. It keeps saying " searching for service"
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DelBoy:
How to enable this?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.activenotifications

I think this is what he was talking about.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
That could be a number of things. I'd start with a nand, fresh download and clean install. If you still get it, I'd reflash the radios. If you still get it then back to stock and see if it still happens. If you still get it, then hardware issue....more than likely just either a bad download or bad flash though I would think. [emoji106]

from my N5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dannstarr:
I get this nearly every time I switch ROMS recently.... What seems to fix it for me, is when I go to Titainium backup and restore the "Device ID"

After that, no more signal drops
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dia_naji:
Those were the steps I was leaning to, but looked into it a little more. I ended up doing *#*#4636#*#* and it was set to LTE only. Weird because I really don't remember selecting it. I selected GSM auto (PRL) and it worked

None of the normal xposed tricks are able to hide the battery. Anyone else have this issue?

I've had a couple emails come in through GMail today and haven't gotten any notifications myself. Didn't post about it because I dirty bird flashed.

Wiping data in Gmail usually fixes the issue anyways.

Was just thinking that it would be awesome to have some way to pause music while the device is off and in your pocket. Maybe long press volume button to pause instead of seek track? Would be a neat option.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JaylanPHNX:
I thought of this as well, not changing seek behavior, but rather if it was possible to have it pause on press of both volume up and down together. Is that even a thing?

Sent from my Slim Nexus 5 with smoothness by Faux.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kufikugel:
No idea. Currently

I highly doubt this will happen. Thing is if they will do it means they would open a lot of the service api they have currently completely closed (of course they earn money with it). This rumor talks about that the recent switcher utilize google services. So tbh I doubt it lol. But we will see.

Kk and noted. You changed it and it worked then?

Maybe Google push service had outages today. Have read such reports today on other places as well. Here is all well and we did not change anything related to this.

Hmm maybe longpress power would be better. Will think about it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dastinger:
Please, whatever is done, do not change the volume buttons seek behaviour. I couldn't live without that thing :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kufikugel:
The workerque changes from Motorola changed then overall balance (very easy said lol). Seems to work out better then I thought.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tracerit:
Is it possible to get a transparent nav bar system wide?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
What new task changer? And her is just rumors AFAIK no? Even if it's true probably longs way from coming to fruition. Basically sounds like porting chrome os to mobile devices with some Android functionality. Just sounds like smoke.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
Lots of ways to do this. It looks really Mega sh*t though? With a small band of your wallpaper showing at the top of each app. Why would you want that?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TJKV:
Sorry for quoting some old posts but I did a search in kufi's favourite kernel dev's thread, and showp's reply was this. So if I were to guess I would say kufi probably wouldn't (and shouldn't) add fast charge to slim kernel. That said I still use fast charge (franco) despite that reply, because I know my motherboard doesn't cause issues :p
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] coolek33:
So [MENTION=4790322]kufikugel[/MENTION], what do you think about that? Is it possible?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] blade_:
I'm trying last weeklys kernel.. Very smooth and battery friendly
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] EpicChineseTime:
What's the name of the kernel you're currently on??

I have very bad battery consumption... I was on Franco Kernel R39, now on Stock and is even worser....
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Primokorn:
At first you should flash r40 to fix some bugs from r39.

Your high battery consumption is probably caused by the 2nd app that appears on your snapshot...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] EpicChineseTime:
Everytime that i lock the screen i kill all the background apps... and i checked that there isn't the app in the background... let me flash the r40... and will see.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Primokorn:
That's against Android. Really bad idea :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] blade_:
i mean stock slimkat kernel.i used furnace kernel,which was the best for battery but not so smooth.now im trying slimkat kernel and seems to bee friendly for battery and amazing smoothly.but i have to leave it 2-3 days to see better results
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sorceforge:
I think he is talking about a similar system to the Chameleon Engine of halted ThinkingBridge rom.

However, for those who want to see it implemented, I'll tell the truth; It sometimes look strange because it reads the color of the nearest thing to status bar, so it looks nice when there is a bar located on the top like normal HOLO UI apps, but when it comes to browsing in default AOSP browser, or Chrome, when there is a picture, the status bar changes to color of it, which is unnatural. ;)

Yes, it was already known to many custom users in here, and everybody had to apply something called 'APN patch' or manually add 't' in the middle of the text.

Anyways, thanks for your confirmation. :D

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] NaterTots:
So, quick question.

I am using my own build from yesterday morning, I do "make installclean" in my build command, I did a fully clean flash.

My GPS doesn't seem to be working. I have no icon in the status bar when in maps, and the app GPS test doesn't pick any satellites up, but when my device is set to gps only for location it tracks me on maps.

Is this an issue isolated to me only? I tried a reboot and it didn't make a difference.

I know it's not an official build. Just seeing if anyone else has had that happen.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
i use my own builds and i don't have this problem. quick question, though - why do you use make installclean? are you building for more than one device? make installclean is useful for only wiping out the stuff that changes between different make targets. if you're just trying to do a clean build and erase the out directory between builds, then "make clobber" or "make clean" will suffice.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] NaterTots:
That is just the way that I learn how to build I guess. I do also build for grouper. I do know that if I do a make clobber it does take alot longer but I also haven't done it in a while. I will give it a shot when I get home thanks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
it takes longer because it's doing a clean build (compiling everything fresh). personally, i always make clobber in between builds. just an ocd for me, but it may fix your problem, especially since there were a LOT of kernel commits merged for hammerhead within the last week.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] NaterTots:
Yeah I'll give it a shot and keep you updated. Thanks for the tips. :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] blanksuspect:
So I've searched around a bit but I can't seem to find any answers pertaining to a particular issue that I've come across. I recently tried out SlimKat and played around with it for a bit. I enabled TRDS and while it was nice, I just didn't like the feel of the ROM in general. I switched to a different ROM (Purity) but it seems the Play Music app has retained the TRDS theme. Now, it's not too much of a bother as I kind of like the dark theme for the music app, but when tracks are playing, the text for the song and artist name are black, and thus unreadable on the dark background.

Is there some what to revert the Play Music app back to the original theme without having to reinstall SlimKat again? I've tried reinstalling the stock gapps package but that doesn't seem to do anything. Any help would be appreciated.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Sounds like you didn't clean flash the new rom properly. Wiping system and data. If you did, it wouldn't still be themed. ;)

Sent from my N5, N7, Moto X, G Tab 3 or S2.....
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] damngood98:
as mentioned, a system wipe would be recommended first...twrp? -- advanced wipe, wipe your caches and system, flash rom, flash gapps

if this is your only problem however, you could just delete the music app from system/apps, do a reboot and download it from the play store
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] blanksuspect:
I'm sorry for not stating that I follow all routine protocols for flashing new ROMs including backups, factory resetting and clearing caches. ;)

This worked. I didn't even think to use Titanium Backup to delete the music app and reinstall it. Thanks for the help!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
Been thinking of switching this from gummy ROM and was just curious as to whether the latest nightly is recommended over the latest stable.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DigitalUnderground:
They're weeklies and you can flash them clean with no issues... U don't have to be on the last stable.

BTW the weeklies are all stable too so don't be afraid. This is the best ROM available and u will have a hard time using anything else after using slim. I promise
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kufikugel:
Na....that the music app survived definitely shows you did not manually format system before you flashed ;) so backup scripts (they survive as well on factory reset....only format system can get rid of them) went into place and restored old gapps and libs.

Thats why I always say that manually format system is a must when changing ROMs or changing gapps packages.

A bit deeper explanation: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51568150

And this counts for every ROM. Do not know one ROM which does not use the backup system.

The last nightly is as stable as the stable.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] efan3719:
Stable is good. Weeklies are pretty stable as well. Either way you'll enjoy this ROM
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bikeryder007:
I would say so go with the weekly after running both.

The newest weekly is stable as can be, and the new kernel improvements make Slim even smoother and faster than before.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] efan3719:
Perhaps you should include an manual wipe of /system if you don't already. The Slim Team generally recommends doing that
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Phazmos:
Fwiw - this is a clean flash

In cwm (twrp users are on their own)

Wipe data/factory reset

Mount system

Format system

Flash away

Pretty simple. If everyone did this I'd bet post counts would drop by 30+%
