what does Pre-Weekly 5.7 mean ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Natakranta:
It was test build only for Nexus 5 to see how 4.4.3 merge went. All good so after adding few fixes guys started Jenkins to do automatic 4.4.3 builds for all supported devices, tagging it 5.8 weekly. Coming in anytime now :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] docck:
It mean unofficial build which was made from newest sources before official nightly. If you'll read few last pages you'll know much more about this. BTW it's history now because 5.8 build will be released very soon
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] CitizenLee:
Tried Slim for the first time last night and was really impressed. Only thing is I couldn't get Contacy Sync to work. This was using Danko's latest GAPPs, so I'll maybe try PA next time. I'm back on my Purity back-up for now but will try Slim again later once 5.8 drops ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] adl:
This has been reported before. It is working for me, but i heard it from other people as well, i think even on Stock 4.4.3.

Just keep hitting "contacs" in the sync window, it should work after some time.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] CitizenLee:
First time I've encountered it on any ROM but I'm keen to try Slim properly so I'll try again tonight when I have more time to troubleshoot :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] adl:
I did a fullwipe and it was working fore me with syncing, but did a little search on the official discussion as i think i read there and found at least 2 entries:

Happy flashing!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] CitizenLee:
Interesting, thanks :good:

I was on Purity previously, so did full wipe in TWRP, flashed ROM then Danko's Slim GAPPs (with no reboot between ROM and GAPPS).

I'll see how I get on with 5.8 and will try a different GAPPs too ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
Dunno if anyone noticed but new gapps are official too. http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/1150-addons4-4 they contain everything up to the fixed "subscribed" button in YouTube I did last night.

Flashed the ROM and it booted up nice. I flashed ElementalX kernel and now it got stuck on the screen where it says: "unlocking SIM card" with the spinning circle.

I had this on a previous version of Slimkat ROM from [MENTION=1277872]dankoman[/MENTION] i think. Anybody else experienced this ever?

EDIT:

A simple reboot fixed it, but as this happend only twice to me i was wondering if anybody else had this.

So what is your guys method of dirty flashing (i feel dirty saying that...) i ALWAYS clean flash slim but i want to try flashing 5.8 over 5.7 and see what happens. Do you wipe anything prior to flashing?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bartolinio:
[MENTION=2627301]reinert012[/MENTION]

wipe system, cache and dalvik

flash ROM

flash gapps

reset
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] adl:
I´d say wipe cache, dalvic and system. So all apps are still there and all ROM settings as well.

Got 3 sudden restarts already from a clean flash of 5.8, which i dont get from the 5.7 test build. I really wonder why?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] damngood98:
well if it's clean, no other kernel, your post should include a logcat :good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] adl:
Hm, "clean flash" meaning wipe system, dalvic, cache?

No problems so far except for the one time "stuck-on-unlocking-SIM-card" screen after flashing ElementalX kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gzax:
iI made a clean install after setup everything phone boots into system without asking PIN Unlock. Reboot twice, nothing happened. I restored EFS that i had a backup and worked but signal was like on off all the time. Restored EFS again and Slimkat 5.7 all working fine now.

Dunno whats the problem, But i think i will stay with 5.7 for now.

Any suggestions or solutions are welcome,

Thanks again for the great rom you provide us.

is anyone else having issues installing the Google Camera app from the play store ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] CaspaTheGhost:
Nope, nothing... Flash ROM, reboot, profit...

Not with a clean install, the key bit being a data wipe.

I had to side load the apk before the clean install, it would then install over the Slim camera rather than alongside but it stopped working in that fashion on one of the recent builds.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jax Teller:
Clean flash is when you wipe dalvik, cache, system and data.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shaker2k:
With twrp I just flash rom, gapps and viper. I believe cache and dalvik are wiped automatically.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ranasrule:
why doesnt the camera in SlimKat include photosphere ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] reinert012:
Man, google keyboard is throwing a fit after that dirty flash. I had to install swiftkey from google play online to be able to type. I flashed PAGapps thought, wonder if that is why.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
Photosphere is closed source/proprietary therefore, can't be included. Slim Camera is based on AOSP camera, which doesn't include Photosphere. However, since Google Camera was released to the Play Store, both can coexist just fine on your phone. Best of both worlds.

Try again with Slim Gapps. There's a reason they make their own.

[MENTION=1277872]dankoman[/MENTION] and everyone else interested in playstore issues

just wanted to write a bit of my observations about playstore app compatibility.

i have flashed 5.6 clean, and dirty flashed pretty much every update since. i decided to fullwipe because all of the testing i did with all the versions of phonesky and gms dankoman posted. since then, i flashed updates to rom and gapps but that is about it. all i did was randomly check if there are still app compatibility issues. i dont get update notifications or auto updates from play, but you have this part pretty much figured out. the interesting part is that compatibility issues come and go on their own for no apparent reason. it works for some time, and then stops at some point, but starts working fine again after some time. services and playstore havent changed from 5.6 i think, my data is allso the same since i didnt wipe. i hope someone can make better sense of it then me, or maybe at least conclude that google is somehow changing its mind on app compatibility on their own. thank you all and have a nice day :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] reinert012:
Doing it with slimapps too. I'll just clean flash.

Hey, is there still a need for installing the Google Camera compatibility addon (to make HDR+ work)? There is a lib called libgcam. Is there a new version of this lib? The addon was created in August, so I suspect there can be some new versions of this file.

The other thing is that the Google Camera 4.4.3 package from PA has more libs apart from this one:

libgcam - this one is almost two times bigger than the one from the Slim Camera compatibility addon.

libgcam_swig_jni

libjni_tinyplanet

libjpeg

liblightcycle

libnativehelper_compat_libc++

librefocus

librs.layered_filter_f32

librsjni

libRSSupport

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] t.d:
Hi guys! Just got a nexus 5 a few days ago :)

It came to me prerooted stock, I flashed the bricked kerbal and enables knock2wake which is so awesome. So i felt the need for some android tweaks so I flashed slim 4.4.2 last week and noticed that my phone calls weren't working yesterday hahah. Lucky me slimcat has updated and calling works again, but I've lost root. Is root normally applied with a computer? It stayed with every rom flash till this one, im using twrp. I found one guide and I think it calls for adb, so I gotta borrow a computer I guess.

I can't use titanium backup right now, and could use some help :)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Not really sure what causes little settings like that to change sometimes. I think on first rom boot where it asks to have google restore apps, data, etc sometimes something gets lost in translation. That's my best guess. But it's just one of first things I always check on first boot after an update. Sometimes it's on and sometimes off. :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] CitizenLee:
Don't think so. Slim is the only ROM I've flashed where root is there, but disabled by default.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bo0gietrain:
If you swipe left in google camera to view your pictures, you get the world icon on the bottom.

Looks like AOSP gallery doesn't support that though.

Programmable refresh button with learning mode to add to slim pie etc. Long press gives you a 5 second window to teach it an app. To teach, go into foreground app and press refresh. Function learned for that app. Short press refreshes that app if in foreground.

Google services draining battery like hell

Hi

I've updated from stable v 5 to weekly build 5.7, 4729 and it was a clean install. Followed by the latest minimal gapps in the addons provided on the slimroms website. But the battery drain is still as it was in the previous versions.

The 2 main culprits are

Google play services & Android system.

They don't let the phone go to sleep. The screen is off but the CPU seems to be in a wakelock.

I tried the AIO version of the gapps on the last stable version but even that gave me same pathetic battery life. Tried the latest bricked kernel as well but to no avail. :eek:

Any help is deeply appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Here is a compilation of the replies you might receive:

-try the latest version of slim 5.8

-give it a few battery cycles to settle in

-seriously, have you checked the slim faq?

-try clearing data in play services, and maybe play store and services frameworks and reboot?

-install better battery stats and check your wakelocks!

-try a different kernel

-logcat or gtfo!!

Actually, while we're on the topic of the Lock Ring Targets, here's a suggestion for [MENTION=3087740]Jubakuba[/MENTION], any chance we can make it so if you only populate one of the targets (say the left one for camera) that the rest of the lock ring still unlocks the phone? I currently don't use the extra lock ring targets because I like my no look, just swipe to unlock the phone setup. But being able to set up a few in strategic locations while leaving the rest of the lock ring to unlock (without having to set the unlock action and subsequent icon to the remaining targets) would be awesome.
