Questions and Answers

Guys !

Can we please try to keep this thread clean. Its a development forum thread which is basically for the use of the DEVS. Its not a Q&A forum and that too with the same problem (which has several solutions posted in previous pages) popping up again and again. Please READ before you post.

I have started a Q&A thread so its easier to find solutions and to keep all these questions out of this thread. Please guide new posters and even old posters to that thread and also help me in maintaining a Q&A for the SlimKat ROM. Your help in keeping this thread clean would be greatly appreciated by all.

SlimKat Q&A forum : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48821767

What its for:

- Questions and Answers pertaining to SlimKat ROM

- Solutions to frequently asked issues

- Feature Requests

- Guide to all features on SlimKat ( work in progress)

Thank You

Merry Xmas.

This is the best rom for me so stop whining like a little girl about dpi setting I change it to 420 as well no problem at all learn how to modify build.prop this is nexus device
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bkai:
QuickRecord is very handy! Thanks! BTW, where are these recordings stored? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Or is this just a single recording overwritten each time and cleared on a reboot?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jubakuba:
Glad you like it.

It's never cleared from a reboot, but yes, rewritten each time you record.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
All the talk of wakelocks and battery...have any of you guys tried DS battery saver? You can set it to kill all apps when the screen is off, turn off Bluetooth, WiFi, gps, etc. I've been using it for over a year and has always worked good. It has an xposed portion just like greenify does. Anywho, using that I get about 1% battery loss in standby every hour with my phone hooked up to a smartwatch by Bluetooth. Just a suggestion, there's a free and a paid version. Oh and if any decides to try it just go to settings and set a custom profile, that's where all the goodies are. :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
Yes you can. Settings>Sound>Advanced Options>Scroll to the bottom. To make it silent enable sounds and chose "None" for sound.

EDIT: just re-read your post and realized you may actually be inquiring about your phone making a sound when its fully charged. If that's the case then I do believe you need to use tasker. My method just makes a sound(or disables) when power is first connected.

How is that working out for you?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] derukun:
Noticed something strange with stock messaging app: With the quick reply pop up window, I can't paste anything. The only long press option is 'add to blacklist'...

Is this possible to fix/change for Slim? Sorry if this is a stupid request/impossible.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
I suppose that is because of the way slim has implemented heads up. If you are using dalvik there is a xposed module that should fix that as I remember not having that issue(that is before I switched to ART hence not being able to use xposed). I would recommend trying out https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hellotext.helloHelloSMS. I always liked using stock Messaging App but hellosms is awesome.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
I always thought YouTube was in the gapps package I flash(banks) but I guess it isn't. My issue is I can't ever select 1080p video in the quality settings. The highest quality I have is 720p. I know slim gapps includes YouTube because of TRDS(which I don't use which is why I use banks) but I was wondering how I can get 1080p YouTube videos? I read that editing the build prop to make your phone think you're running 4.4.2 will work but that seems silly.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] silvan g:
Silly but true..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Natakranta:
Holy frog! It really works!

Any disadvantage of doing it, changing build.prop from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2 to fool YouTube?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
Does play store use this to determine android version?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] derukun:
I want to run ART though... oh well. Guess I'll deal with it
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] indian84:
Did not make much difference. Still got around 4 hours SOT..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jerseykirby:
Switched to device only mode for the day, battery was worse. Oh well.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
I was wondering the same thing if there was any disadvantage.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RobbieL811:
I have gotten my best battery life w/ device only mode. When I use WiFi to get my location, I find that I get a lot more NLP collector wakelocks. I definitely think that device mode is the best way to go if you're trying to conserve battery life. For sure!

How do i get the notification power toggles on this rom? will it be in xposed?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
You can either have quick tiles or notification shortcuts. Both are in settings > interface > notifications and qsq
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] coolek33:
I'm starting to like soft reboot option in power menu from unofficial builds. Could it be implemented officially? I'm asking cause friend of mine need it too on s3. He's using xposed for it right now.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
There are issues with battery drain when soft reboot via gravity box. Are we sure it works properly here?

Soft reboot is not very elegant. I wouldn't recommend it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] coolek33:
Yeah I know but he uses it when his camera doesn't want to record. Some weird bug on SLIMKAT on s3. After that kind of reboot he doesn't have to enter pin code and it's faster of course. And there is a standalone module for it. No need for GB.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ezio84:
Need to check it better, but on my mako i had a battery drain after a soft reboot. Maybe a coincidence...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
My point is its probable the battery drain is bug with soft reboot itself. Not gravity box. I only mentioned gravity box because its been report there a lot.

Asking slim to implement soft reboot to address what you say is a slim bug is nonsensical. Perhaps efforts trying to help slim identify the initial bug would make more sense?

There are apps to restart camera service by the way.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lightingcloud:
This one was making me crazy, I reflashed twice. Thanks a lot!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eddiehk6:
Says 'file not found'

Could you reuplaod? Or use different file sharing service?

Really want to try it, thanks.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Mubs:
I don't want either. I want the power toggle widget at the status bar when I pull down the notifications.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] agurudev:
Were you ever able to get it fixed?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] coolek33:
Then use some app from playstore for it. Power toggles or something like that.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
not really :(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
Why isn't that "notification shortcuts"? Because it's at the bottom and not the top?

If that's no good, you're stuck.

Plenty of 3rd party apps can do it though.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Mubs:
The notification shortcuts places actual shortcuts. I want to be able to toggle WiFi, 4g, GPS etc.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
Use the notifications shortcuts option, the toggles are on the bottom not top which IMO is better and easier to access.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
Shortcuts > Slim Shortcuts

Some of those toggle. For those that dont...

Shortcuts > Slim Shortcuts > Chamber of Secrets (make your own toggles)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
An idea :) Are you on dalvic or art. I used to get the exact same thing: on a phone call, take the phone away from my ear and black screen until I push the power button...sometimes 2 to 3 times for the screen to come back up. Interesting thing is since I switched to ART it doesn't do it anymore. Could have been an xposed module, dalvic or whatever, but I don't get it anymore on ART.

Taking a break from Slim

Hey guys,

I want to inform you that I'm taking a break from Slim and XDA.

It was a great time with you all.

It's nothing which you have to be concerned about. I just need some time for other things (school, etc).

I'm not leaving the Slim team completely however,

I'll stay as passive member and if everything goes well will see us again at some point in the future.

Have a good time and keep the atmosphere friendly.

P.S. Please remember, if someone posts a question you don't like or you have heard too often don't bother answering it.

The community will answer it soon enough in a friendly matter.

Greetings

Confirmed letmedanz's most recent build caused bootloops after flashing... I wiped system, flashed rom, flashed gapps, kernel, and then bam.. bootloop. Had to come back to 7.4.

I'll try again today.

Thanks a lot for every time you helped me and politely answered my n00b questions!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
Thought you fell off the face of the earth or something :p
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
Yes.. you would need to clean wipe & flash as the latest version is built with Sabermod toolchain.

Please head over to this thread to discuss - http://xdaforums.com/slimroms/general/rom-builders-collective-t2861778
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] derukun:
Thanks very much, will backup important apps on 7.4 before wiping then :) I was going crazy trying to figure out why it was stuck in bootloop for hours lol

(Wait... I was on your version of 7.4 before, I thought that was also built with Sabermod? @_@)

Edit - Wiped data/system then flashed, flashed gapps. Booted up fine. Stuck in bootloop again after trying to switch runtime to ART :/

Turns out your build of Slim seems to already have gapps, so I wiped clean and tried again only flashing the rom, booted up fine but stuck in bootloop again trying to enable ART.

I know I ran a Sabermod 4.8 build a little while ago on ART fine, so it's not like its incapable of running in ART... what am I doing wrong?

Good luck Neb! All the best!

It was you and kufi in GNex thread who drove me into Slim Bean exactly a year ago. For this and your always balanced and nice replies you'll always have my gratitude. In January this year I wanted to send you a small donation for a pint of beer but you don't have donate button so I asked you where to send it and you replied my, send it to kufi, he needs it more. At that time I didn't know he was having health problems.

Neb, you are one kind of a man! Take care and see you in the near our further future.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] rockknee:
It's funny how some people say here "where do ya need theme engine?" and then other people are posting here themes... So theme engine would be most likely wanted feature after all. Btw is there some information what happens to recents when we reach Android L releases? I've been just wondering, I like slimrecents but Android L's recents as well...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Köhvwezd:
Imho, Slimrecents is way better, IF it were my choice, Slimrecents would stay, but alas, it isn't.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Andromendous:
I think it would be neat if the slim team could somehow combine slim recents with the new L recents, basically, just make L recents smaller and on the side like slims. But still keeping the stacked rotating design of L, only smaller and on the side like slim. If that makes any sense.
