I'm a toroplus user actually with slimkat..I believe you can find how to do it in the toroplus thread..I did it using WinZip and can walk you through it if you have WinZip on your PC..you can also do it with root explorer..pm me if you can't figure it out..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rushead:
All you have to do is edit /system/build.prop

ES file explorer has a built-in editor. Just find the lcd resolution line & change it. 320 is stock. I personally run @ 280 to 295. Don't forget to reboot.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexusbandit:
I found that 280-295 don't work well with a lot of games..it really messes things up with my need for speed and real racing..root explorer is actually more easy then es and its only 2 clicks and a reboot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shadow Death:
I prefer X-Plore four a root explorer. It takes a little getting used to but once you've got it down the app can be very powerful.

Fast as a bat out of hell Lol. Battery life is amazing. 4-5 hours on screen time with like 16 hours off charger and still 38% battery left mixed wifi and 4G very heavy use. Today completely on 4G 7.5 hours off charger 1:15 on screen and I am sitting at 64%, moderate use. Still feeling out the rest. Already using Nova launcher prime which works great on the phone. Still feeling out a lot of stuff though. Camera hasn't gotten a ton of use accept at home taking pictures of my daughter (which works well). Haven't played any games so no comment on that. I'll update ya as I use the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
I actually don't know for sure but it would say it's quite likely.

How's the situation with Samsung devices and ROMs?

I had an SII, loved the hardware but all AOSP ROMs were constantly buggy and Touchwiz is one of the worst softwares I've ever seen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cuzzinz:
TouchWiz doesn't bother me much especially using Nova. Plus neb I think there is an asop version of the phone coming out which I am sure would be helpful.

Small Text

The status bar and the home key/back/recent apps bar is too small for my liking. I was trying to figure out how to make them bigger, but I couldn't find a way. Is there a way to do this?

Also, is there a way to make long press back button kill app? And can you change the colors in the status bar? I like to have wifi/data show blue when active.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
To increase the size you would've to change the DPI.

For the rest I recommend you poke a bit around in the settings ;) (a little hint look in navigation and interface)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saintdice:
Just wanted to say thanks. This is the first 4.4.2 ROM I've found that doesn't have all the handoff and glitch issues the other ones have on my phone.

I just flashed Slim for the first time. Seems nice so far, but is there no built-in way to change screen DPI?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Not yet, we're working on a method to change DPI on the fly however.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IIDr0iDJuNkiEII:
@ the Slim Team.. a.k.a feature request(s).

Been running Carbon for a bit and I like it. Having some data issues though and i kinda miss my SlimKat.:(

Some Carbon features that would be awesome in Slim as well..

1) Active Display

2) Progress Bar Style color changer.

3) Quick Setting Tiles flip on touch.

4) Custom System icon color override. Basically, you enter a color code and it changes the color of the the whole systemUI at once.

5) Contextual notification panel. Basically, it displays an image based on current date and time in the notification header. Very neat feature!

6) Notification text that wraps around the lock screen ring. Looks great when I get a text.

Not in order of importance. Just thought these would be cool to add.:good:

Thanks!:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rushead:
Just edit /system/build.prop

I do that on every rom regardless of whether they have a method baked in or not.

Sent from a flashead cracker.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] demlv:
I thought changing DPI with this method caused trouble with the Play Store. Is that no longer an issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
It never caused Problems with the PlayStore when you use a modified version of it, which we provide with our Gapps.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PhilD41:
So I have to ask before taking the jump back into SlimKat, how are the lockups / reboots? I had to revert back to 4.3.1 as I was pulling my battery every few hours. Would LOVE it if this was mostly solved. Also, are you guys rooting? I heard that rooting increased lockups and such. Unfortunately I need root for a few things... actually ad blocking mainly.

Appreciate the feed back on the 06 build so far and look forward to hearing more!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schnob:
I have been running Mpokang or Golden, rooted, and I have only been having one or two reboots a day, if that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrchambo:
Same here. Actually, I've only had two reboots since flashing slimkat.

Now on Golden kernel, also tried Mpokang with good results.

MrC
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tattedupboy:
Where can I get those kernels?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeverSeparate:
They're on xda. Search golden kernel and mpokang. Or just look in the development section. If it isn't in Verizon gnex development just look in the general gnex development thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sickopsycho:
Just another bump on the photosphere front. Supposedly shinyrom has it working and panarama working too (it was there but didn't work on earlier build, haven't retried). Got the impression from the other thread it was part of aosp. Anyway, just love the feature, I'll be patient, though =)

---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 PM ----------

Btw- regarding kernels... Are you using a 4.3 kernel on this ROM or what? I found mpokang but its listed for 4.3... Is there a 4.4 release I'm unaware of?

I am a long time user of CM, decided to try out other ROMs. So far, I like SilmKAT but there is one option I can't find. In the sounds options of CM, there is an setting to vibrate on all notifications regardless of app settings when in vibrate mode. I prefer to turn that off when in vibrate mode so that it's not vibrating like crazy with every email. Is there an equivalent option in SlimKAT?

Thanks!

Toro is my daily driver and I lurke in this forum all the time - I just flashed the stable rom (build 5) and gapps(build 5). So far it's working absolutely perfectly! Haven't been into 4g area yet but it's because my workplace is practically a bunker. Anyways - DPI has been changed to 275, flashed Nexus Louder (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/themes-apps/mod-beats-xlouder-4-3-1-4-4-2-t1748803), flashed Franco R395, modded the kernel a little with Trickster and... I think that's all. If any of these changes "void" the tester results let me know otherwise I will report any issues if I can find them.

Thanks for your work on this! I love Skimkat!!

P.S. I never use bluetooth and rarely use wifi so i'll probably not report on either of those.

Notification light (led)

Anyone else having issues with notification light working?

I have it enabled, speed and color selected, testing (press test, turn off screen, etc) works, but when I actually get an email or an sms, I don't have any notificaiton from the led. (Gmail/sms icon in nav bar work).

Edit: I actually am getting the led for a split second, at the time the notifiation comes thru, but then it instantly goes off as if it was turned off / notification opened.

Edit2: The original problem was fixed and there were 2 things that I noticed that may have done it. I got a message while the phone was not charging so I figured battery led was battling the notification led somehow... so I turned battery led and notification led on/off a few times, rebooted, set my preferences and sent a few messages thru and it worked fine, charging or not.

I'm new to Slimkat. This is a great ROM and not really much less customizable than any other. Thanks for the excellent work.

After less than a day running, I have three issues

1) at security settings, it force closes

2) the torch has randomly come on a couple times

3) keyboard presses vibrate, although I set it not to.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks.

Did you use slim gapps latest(5) with slimkat (5)

I'm assuming you did a clean install

since you said you're new to slim...

Here's a great little app..

For when you do a clean install

It wipes everything but your SD card ..

So far, so good on my end! One thing I did notice is that compared to Build 4, Android System and Kernel (Android OS) are the #1 battery consumers (according to GSam Battery Monitor) These were never near the top of the list in Build 4. I haven't really noticed a significant battery drain because of this, but just found it rather odd. I did a full wipe and a so fresh, so clean install on both builds.

So I'm pretty sure I've narrowed down my MMS issue down to any CM based roms. I'm on Omni right now and MMS sending is a breeze.

I see in the op Slim is AOSP based. Is there any cm shenanigans hidden that may play wonky with toro?

Well, it would appear that my phone is simply going to refuse to play with 4.4. Installed stable 5 yesterday, and after about 10 minutes, mobile data disappeared again. Had to restore SlimBean. I really wish we could figure out why some phones have this problem and others don't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jodsfk421:
I don't believe it's the phone. My data was fine on all the build 2 weekly's of SlimKat and it worked great (if it ain't broke don't fix it). But then the crackflasher appeared on my shoulder & I tried the last build 4 weekly, had the data issue, raged then reverted to my nandroid. The NEXT day Build 5 was released and the data is perfect again. Basically what I'm saying is between build 2, 4 & 5 I went from data, no data, data again.

It's super simple to check -

Flash the new rom

Open the phone app

*#*#4636*#*#

Phone Information

Scroll down to "Set Preferred Network Type"

If you have GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) it'll work, (yes, on Verizon)

If you have LTE/CDMA auto (PRL) it wont work.

As stated in previous posts, I don't know how/why, but I know it works - Also, all of this info is only related with my experience on toro.

*You CAN change it from LTE/CDMA to GSM/CDMA but when you power off/reset your handset it'll revert back to the original setting.
