I wish I could upgrade parts on my phone. I would definitely keep the gnex longer. This rom makes it smooth as butter.... No custom kernel. Battery is iffy but that could be that I flashed recently.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bbernardini:
Clean flashed RC2 yesterday. Still no working mobile data. Status bar icon shows 3G and/or 4G, but nothing is coming through. Had to restore back to OmniMetal while on the PA Turnpike so I could use Waze to get to work (since some roads are still impassable because of yesterday's storm).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cuzzinz:
Lol. This why we don't flash and drive :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwrecording:
This rom is great. It is smooth and seems to be very stable. Thank you.:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IIDr0iDJuNkiEII:
Oooh... New Slim "swag" in the OP. Available? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dirtsky:
Anybody else have huge buttons like this?

I didn't clean flash 2.6 but, that is my next step.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ecs1984:
It's mentioned on the main Slim site in the post about the 2.6 build if you dirty flash, just go to the nav bar size settings and reset to default, then re-select whatever height/width you want.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] audit2:
This is one smooth Rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwrecording:
I was running CM11 and my battery would be dead in 4 hours. I ran this rom for 2 days now and after 9 hours I am still at 40%. One of the best roms I have ever used. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dirtsky:
Ahhh. I didn't even notice that but, I ended up clean flashing any way. It's been awhile since I've done one. Running great now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schnob:
RC3 is up! It's been a while since I've run Slim, but I'm about to give it another try.

Hey guys, been meaning to ask this but does anybody know where the audio file for the quick record toggle is stored at?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OptoChip:
Something interesting I've noticed, double tabbing on the Status Bar turns the screen off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Sounds are usually under /system/media/audio
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] volcalstone:
I looked there and couldn't find the audio clip that was already recorded with the toggle. I'm not even sure if you could save it, just wondering that's all. I already tried looking under every /sdcard directories but couldn't find it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Ah sorry confused it with something else. I'll have to ask Jubaka where the file gets stored. I reckon it's somewhere on the USB storage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cuzzinz:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexusbandit:
I tried the slim ROM coming from the cm ROM and it was a major step up but I was forced to return to cm 11 because slimrom had yet to add the DPI setting to change everything from the tiny appearance..my eyesight isn't very good and I just can't use the awesome slimkat until you guys add that setting back to your ROMs..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Why not just using one of the apps which allows you to change the DPI?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cuzzinz:
I would bite but I am going on call tomorrow morning so need my phone to be stable.

Btw started using textra sms and it is awesome. Has a individual notifications, customizable vibrations, etc. It is like handcent and come mixed together. Not too much, not too little, with the Google feel instead of some wannabe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] volcalstone:
I change my dpi manually and I'm fine with it. Just a quick edit and I'm on to the next step with every update or clean install. It's worth the time though cause the rom is awesome like Lego!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cuzzinz:
Flashable over rc3?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Same as always you can try it but don't blame us if things brake ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kinfolk248:
Slim ever add halo?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cuzzinz:
It's all your fault! How awesome this rom is. Will flash stable tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ricarpe:
Tried loading Slim-toro-4.4.2.build.3-OFFICIAL-3083.

Long story short, after following the same instructions (backing up, wiping, etc.), the new SlimKat keeps coming up as a failed installation. I've tried using TWRP and through a sideload. Neither worked. Anything
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cuzzinz:
I believe you HAVE to use clockwork recovery to flash this rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lesclark:
I used TWRP to flash. I did have an error loading but it was a bad download on gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ricarpe:
Time to find something new, I guess. There's plenty of KitKat-based ROMs out, but I think I may go back to 4.2.2. I've been experiencing horrible hand-off issues with regards to data. It forces me to reboot my phone several times per day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kinfolk248:
Well that doesn't give me a lot of confidence in the rom hearing it has hand-off issues...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nalanotae:
Try unmounting system in using twrp. I have run into this problem on several different kk based ROMs.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ricarpe:
The hand-off issues are with 4.3.X.

I haven't even tried 4.4.X yet. Researching the ROMs now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cuzzinz:
I use to have a ton of handoff issues. All of the RC releases for SlimKat have been amazing no hand off issues. Even when quickly flipping off Wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kinfolk248:
They ever throw halo into the pot?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nalanotae:
Did they include DPI settings? Wanting to try it out just wandering how stable is it?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PoohBears:
Jumped to stable SlimKat...

Just jumped from SlimBean to SlimKat now that the stable build is out...looks and runs great so far. In case anyone has some insight:

I'm not sure I like the Google Now launcher...is there a way to change which screen it centers on? If not, maybe I'll just go back to Nova Launcher.

Also, am I missing the kill all and RAM in the recents menu options somewhere? I liked those.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
GEL doesn't offer much customisation besides adding widgets and folders.

The recents menu will get changed at some point that's why we didn't add any of that features back.

Beside that "kill all" is most likely a feature which we won't add back because it's actually a bad behaviour on android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PoohBears:
I think the "kill all" was nice to simply clean the recents menu as it becomes a little pointless to consider something from over 10 apps ago recent. So maybe not a "kill all" per se, but maybe a "clean up" would be nice. I'll admit, it is a bit lazy of me to ask about a button versus just swiping a few times and taking a few extra seconds to clean it up manually. I just wanted to ask about since maybe I was just missing the setting to activate it somewhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bbernardini:
Okay, I'm completely perplexed. I keep trying to get SlimKat to work on my phone, but mobile data simply refuses to work for more than a few minutes at a time. Even running the new stable (with a clean wipe), with and without the Bionic rollback patch, I just can't get it to work. I keep having to roll back to 4.2.2, which is frustrating, because it's clearly working for others. What, if anything, could I be doing wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cuzzinz:
You wipe system/cache on its own separate from a factory reset?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kinfolk248:
Okay someone please explain how kill all is bad for Android? The new ram/memory management in Android has me all messed up, so I'm a little lost...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sickopsycho:
No worries, just wondering if i was missing it or what. Latest build is running like a champ for me too. Had a data drop and some glitchy graphics but no random reboots since install last night. Seems to be on the right path. =) Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Photosphere is unfortunately not part of AOSP that's why we can't include it by default.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MaceBewley:
Just had my first reboot after flashing yesterday. Was in a video hangout with the wife, changed camera views, locked up then rebooted.

Passed that, it has been first class!! Thanks for the hard work!

Bluetooth: Pandora works fine, TuneIn Radio works fine. iHeartRadio plays no audio, and Google Play still goes crazy whenever locking/unlocking the device.

Seems to be app specific rather than a Rom/KK issue
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaizero:
Just an FYI, Golden Kernel XXG09 seems to be working with this ROM as well. Can't comment on performance or battery life yet as I just flashed the kernel a few hours ago and I don't use my GNex as my dd.. Replaced it with an iPhone 5s. :highfive:

Will twrp recovery work? Or does it have to be cwm?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KlugN:
CWM - read the OP please!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schnob:
The devs are working out bugs for now, so it's basically an AOSP release. Until it's more stable there won't be more features.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KlugN:
Can't wait for the sexy!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schnob:
Unless TWRP has gotten an update within the past couple days, I would say it has to be CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hexto:
CWM seems so archaic in comparison to TWRP. It works fine but it's just so ugly. Can't wait to go back to TWRP
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KlugN:
New build is smooth so far. Don't notice the speed improvements yet but I'll keep playing. Love the center clock in the status bar. Hopefully % battery is next!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Az Biker:
The basic unscientific explanation is this:

Leaving open apps in recent remain idle but use VERY little resources (mem, cpu) while "idling" in the background.

The next time you "open" an app already in recent, at "idle" it take less mem & cpu to bring the app up because it's already at "idle"... This is the way Android memory was designed, so the powers that be say.

KILL ALL in recent closes ALL apps that were "idling" and temp boosts the avail memory. The "bad" part comes when you re-open an app that WAS idling in recent, it MUST open from scratch and takes more cpu and mem than "waking" it from "idle"...

So android users obsession with seeing avail memory really means that most apps you open will need to be opened from scratch, which in the long run uses MORE memory and cpu than leaving those recent apps "idling" in recent.

I typed this with my eyes closed so hopefully it made some sense :D

Bottom line, unless you have apps in recents that you WON'T be using anytime soon (just got home from vacation and navigation is open in recents) do the single slide to kill that ONE app (and any others you WON'T be using for a while.

Will you hair fall out and your mom start dressing you funny if you KILL ALL? NO.

Will you win the lotto and marry a SI swimsuit model if you NEVER kill all? No.

Will you see a slight boost in efficiency by leaving frequently used apps open in recent? Probably.

Will your device explode and void your warranty if you KLILL ALL? Nothing is impossible, but I highly doubt it.

Choose one or the other and move on :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kinfolk248:
Soooo, what if I win the lotto, use the nav to take a swimsuit model on vacation and laugh at ppl who get dressed by their mom forcing them to pull their own hair out and blow the phone up...?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Az Biker:
Then you have to switch to a pink AT&T flip phone, bedazzled with red gems, with a tassel hanging out of the headset jack.

Hotspot Issues

This may sound strange to some but I use my hotspot for everything, literally. Since I updated to SlimKat my laptop recognizes my hotspot fine, but my chromecast and xbox refuse to connect to it no matter what. Anyone else run into issues similar to this?

Did 4.4 change the way hotspots work?

Other than that everything seems to be fine, some stutter when opening the notification or quick tile pane, and battery seems really bad, it's always been pretty weak but the last Slimbeam I was on with Lean Kernel made less ****ty. Currently using DirtyV.

Thanks for the smooth build though works great.

Edit: Well never mind, after trying to get chromecast to connect on multiple builds over a few weeks it decided to work right after I posted this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Did you post a logcat at some point?

Maybe it's something from our side.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bbernardini:
No, just the standard wipe in TWRP.

---------- Post added at 08:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 AM ----------

I have not. As soon as I get a chance, I'll restore the SlimKat stable install from yesterday and figure out how to do a logcat again (it's been a while). Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kinfolk248:
Okay but what about cleaning cache? What effect does that have on resources?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Az Biker:
Cleaning cache removes temp data, frees mem, but doesn't close app... I guess theoretically it's half as bad as killing app? I only clean cache if I change an apps settings and the old settings remain, or if I'm removing default settings

Pretty sure I did this right. I tried running Klyph Pro, Flow, Waze, Tapped Out and tried to open a webpage in Naked Browser. Nothing worked, even though the signal icon in the status bar showed a 4G connection. Any help or insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Handoff issues

I cannot get on LTE after a 3g switch or from wifi. It seems to me a prl issue as my phone sometimes dials *228...

After a factory wipe and reflash the lte show up again but after a 3g to LTE toggle is gone again. I have plenty of LTE signal ( -80dbm)

This is the the only rom I am using since it started. Never had any issues.

any ideas?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vladimirhtg:
I believe you're wanting to change the dpi, which I also want to do.

Where the heck is the superuser application in this rom? I'm having trouble performing root operations (edit buildprop, change dpi) and I'm trying to figure out what's going on.

This rom is really great. I've used AOKP builds for probably 1.5 years straight, and this is the first variation away that's lasted more than 24 hours. Awesome work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ecs1984:
Settings-->About phone-->Tap Build number 7 times to expose "Developer options"-->Enable root access in "Developer options". Then your apps requiring SU permissions are managed under "Advanced options"-->Superuser.

You'll be around for much longer than 24 hours, Slim team is fantastic.

Yes, like vladmir says above, you can simply modify DPI in the build.prop file located in /system. Stock Gnex setting is 320, Slim default is 245. 270 is my happy number.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vladimirhtg:
Thanks for the quick response! I didn't even notice Dev options being gone.

New question....I've figured I'd try 270dpi out before going to my "happy place" (280 :) ) and I'm unfortunately hanging at the Google logo. Just now changed it, trying to boot for the second time. This perchance hasn't ever happened to you, has it?

Edit: I'm kind of short on time and would like to try flashing a zip with the build.prop for this rom. I can easily put the file in the zip, I just need the file. Anybody on RC3 feel like pulling theirs and posting it?

I'm trying to pull it manually to flash...we'll see.

Edit2: Flashed rom (dirty) and booted normally. So....should I just leave it at 245dpi? lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abe_cedar:
I wonder if anyone has this issue?

the radios are not updated since 4.3. I have seen that is a problem with other roms.

TIA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ecs1984:
I've never had any issues booting up with changed dpi, not sure why that happens but it's an issue that others have encountered from what I've read. My build.prop is attached if that helps, it's untouched other than dpi. I just zipped the file so I could upload easier, it's

not

flashable.

EDIT: Actually, you mention being on RC3. My build.prop is from the new stable build 3.0. Make the jump to stable, then try.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] V1215:
Quick question (just curious).

Anyone else unable to use 4G? I have mine set to Preferred Network 3G just because I can't seem to get 4G, even with a reboot. /:

Not really a huge issue, but.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AquilaDroid:
Yes, I just switched to another rom to see if it was a problem with SlimKat. It's working fine on Carbon, so it must be a Slim issue. I used the Slim Gapps on both, and tried the same kernel on both...

(I was doing all this on my G-nex, not this phone!)

From my Nexus 5
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jodsfk421:
I've had this issue on multiple KitKat roms -

go to the phone dialer *#*#4636#*#* > Phone Information > Double check your Set Preferred Network Type is "GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)". Yes, I understand you're on Verizon. I don't know the technicalities of if, you may need to ask around if you want details, but I found it somewhere and it works... so I use it. Most likely you'll need to reset this setting after every reboot (I did) unless it sticks for you.

What rom version are you on? I'm on RC3 (dirty flash from RC2) and haven't had any issues, one of the main reasons I'm staying with SlimKat- other than how awesome the Rom is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AquilaDroid:
I'm on RC3 on the G-nex as well the N-5. No problem on this one. Will go back to Slim on the G-nex and try your suggestion. Thanks!

EDIT: Restored my RC3 nandroid on the G-nex and tried all the options available, but the only way I could get LTE/4G was to set it to LTE only. When I switched the phone from LTE (using the LTE tile) it wouldn't go back to LTE again.

From my Nexus 5
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abe_cedar:
Barely gets on lte. Not usable for me. This is my favorite nexus rom. Been using since the early days.

Is this big reds issue with not updating the radios?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AquilaDroid:
As I said above, it seems to be a Slim problem since it worked for me on Carbon.

From my (Toro) G-Nex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cuzzinz:
I had problems a while back too. Nebs suggestion was to wipe system and cache separate from a factory reset. Since I did that especially with a clean install I have had no problems at all with handoff between Wifi, 4G, 3G and 1x for MMS

Did that

After a switch to 3g never gets back to lte.
