+1 on that art. Can't wait to give that a go.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Yriel40k:
ART does work if you use Odexed Gapps. Google for odexed gapps from PA.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Squarex:
Why isn't ART working when I use no Gapps?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Dionysus2389:
These are early stages, so I guess is kinda normal that somethins isn't working yet.

Even on PA 4.4 builds, switching to ART means force closes.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Squarex:
I understand this. I was just wondering how could it work with odexed gapps, when it doesn't work without any gapps.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jmcdonald58:
Seems fine here - I flashed with PA Gapps and enabled ART and haven't had any issues t speak of I have Nova launcher set as my backup - I understand though the Slim team needs us to flash their gapps package for testing purposes I like TRDS and you won't get that with odexed gapps?Anyhow I will flash slim gapps later -Thanks Kufi and Slim team foryour time and effort as always

OP, I have a question.

How did you compile 4.4 KitKat from source? Whenever I build, I only get 4.3. I did repo sync last night, so that shouldn't be an issue.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jonny68:
Everything working OK but flash doesn't seem to work on Maxthon and X Scope browsers but on a, 4.2 RIM it works fine, and ideas?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jfed:
I installed slim and prescribed gapps and for some reason I lost root. I wiped everything and re installed but same result.

By the way running 4.3 slim on my note 2 and love it
[Nexus 7 Original Development] PapaMag:
It happened to me as well found that flashing SuperSU at the same time held my root for me
[Nexus 7 Original Development] RobertsDF:
This is not pre-rooted. You need to flash the SU file linked to on the first page.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] coolek33:
Yes there's is no aroma anymore but you can remove whatever you want with slim center or root explore manager. If you want to use PA gapps don't count on TRDS.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] chikimonke:
Griff isn't the OP, he's just part of the Slim Team who most recently produced the Slim Launcher and broke his phone. He's since gotten a new one, but feel free to donate to him or other Slim members if you feel compelled.

Is anyone working on slim - lp for our beloved grouper?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] SkOrPn:
I was wondering the same. It is obviously the best running ROM so far on my device but Freak broke his laptop screen and can't build SlimLP anymore. With SlimLP running so amazingly good as it is now I am surprised they have not publicly released the alpha builds. Even the alphas feel like a final product to me.

What's the best kernel to use with this ROM?

[Nexus 7 Original Development] joeshmoe666:
I'm using a 1st gen Nexus 7 running SlimKat 4.4.4. Can someone please tell me which system apps are safe to uninstall? I'm already aware of Slimsizer in settings (which allows you to uninstall system apps)(other apps can do this too) I would just like to avoid breaking anything.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Natakranta:
Use Titanium Backup to freeze system app you want to delete. Have it for a day like that, make few reboots. If you don't experience any bugs, you are good to go to delete this app with Slimsizer or Titanium Backup. If problems occur while app is frozen, just defrost it and reboot - now you know you shouldn't mess with this particular app.

Any case if things go wrong you can always just dirty flash your ROM without doing any wipes in recovery. This will bring back all deleted system apps, but you will not lose any of your settings, user apps, user apps data, or generally any use data at all.

The Answer to The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is: CLEAN FLASH.

I cannot get the computer to recognise the nexus 7, MTP works fine but the device refuses to keep usb debugging enabled or for the computer to recognise (device manage shows nothing) have tested two cables and different usb ports on the computer nothing will work with this device :(

my other devices work fine with adb, any ideas how to get to the bottom of this

Update fastboot works and adb sideload works in TWRP recovery so its only in the rom that adb will not work? Any help much appreciated

This is a two pipe problem
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bombadier:
Bump

Dont understand why adb is broken,just flashed Euphoria and adb works fine, wiped and reinstalled this and when booted get adb problems it registers for a second then I lose the device,this is frustrating

I see android devices for a split second before it gets lost :mad:

Seems like my partitions got messed up. fastboot flashed the factory images, wiped then reflashed and everything is good again

Hi everyone

Just installed latest Slimkat, along with normal addons. I seem to be mising "google play services". Play Store won't load, and I get a bunch of errors in the notification area along the lines of "An application requires installation of Google Play Services".

Any ideas?

Thanks!

EDIT: Reflashed Gapps, removed google accounts and trying to add them. "Can't communicate with Google Servers" :(

How will this fix my missing Play Services? It the ones on the slim page should be fine, why is it still missing? I can download the APK and install it, would just need to know which version I need.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] shaggyskunk:
The Gapps that you Flashed are from January - The ones that I linked you to are from April.. I don't know why Play Services aren't in the Gapps that you Flashed... But it's kind of beside the point - The April 4th Slim Gapps is FAR more current.... Flash them - I'm sure that it will resolve your issue.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ferparedes:
Ok thanks for the tip. I ended up installing an APK manually and that did it. Weird why it wasn't installed with the GAPPS.

I searched the thread for "lollipop" but didn't find anything.

Does anyone know why there is no SlimPop for this device yet?

I just installed slimkat 4.4.4 to replace laggy stock 5.1.1 on my grouper. It works great - my N7 is back to being a delight! One question though: sometimes, when I swipe down on the home page, instead of getting the notification page, the screen goes black, as if I had tapped the power button. Is this a feature or bug?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Original Development] beppemila:
back to KK from LP

Hi all, I'm now on a custom ROM that is LP 5.1.1 based. It's so laggy that I want to switch back to Slimkat KK.

Can I do it safely by a full wipe and then installing the ROM?

Or do I have to take other precautions?

Thank you!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dexter93:
double tap to sleep is a feature. you're probably accidentally double tapping the status bar

Unfortunately, 5.x is too heavy for grouper. A full wipe should be all that you need

Does this rom have the latest patches (e.g. StageFright) backported? Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dirtyl0lharry:
Will I be able to get full F2FS support if i install this rom together with M-kernel for 4.4.4 version ? My N7 feels pretty snappy with the 4.8 full supported f2fs but i think it got a bit updated.

If not, is there any way to get this rom along with system+cache+data F2FS support ?

Thanks by advance.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] adeelraj:

I said that im using that rom at the moment, the 4.8 M-kerneled version (4.4.4). Also I said that i started to think that it got a bit outdated so i wanted to switch to this rom.

Is is possible to get this rom working with full F2FS support ?

Hello everyone!

I tried various roms lollipop on my tablet, but unfortunately the results are disappointing.

This is why I'm coming back to KitKat, and many advised me this rom.

Is recommended to change the kernel? if yes, which kernel advise me to use?

I am particularly interested in the fluidity and speed!

Thanks a lot to everyone! :)

Is there any chance to have a hide root option incorporated in the ROM? As it is for now Slimkat as useless if using play apps. Regular hide root apps like Rootkloak is not working at Slimkat rom.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] smajlo:
Hi all,

after few months on Android 5.x.x I came back to this ROM. Everything is running well, I'm just not able to flash M-kernel a69 with the ROM. I was using this combination in the past, so I really don't understand why it's not working right now.

I'm using Pico Opengapps 4.4.4, M-Kernel a69. zip, TWRP 2.8.7.0

In recovery the prosess looks OK, ends with 'DONE... pls reboot', but when thy system loads, I still have stock slim kernel.

Any advice, what I'm doing wrong?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bloomer2011:
I've been using SlimKat 4.4.4 for about a year. I loved that the tablet became usable again after stock and custom Lollipop attempts.

However, while the tablet is smooth, it freezes frequently for periods of 5-30 seconds. Often the screen won't wake up for 15-60 seconds, or not until a few more presses of the power button (I'm not talking about powering-on the device). Apps often crash.

I'd welcome any suggestions on what to play around with/change to try to get the experience to be better.

Currently 4.4.4 build 9.0 (8258). TWRP 2.8.70. Gapps 20150107. Stock kernel.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] kufikugel:
it is currently a hard task on the one hand we bring all our devices up on the other hand we put back our features...some are redefined some we programm completly from scratch with new stuff. Eg today we pushed about 200 commits from 4.3 into 4.4 for our other devices + fixes for current devices

but mostly ppl are interested in new features...so new build has:

- superuser included (need to be enabled in developer options!!!)

- a lot new features just discover them...to much to write up

- a new crt animation...check it out

- fix settings locale language problem

- and tons of fixes under the hood

and new build is up

I added a simple list yesterday but it is actually more we have already included:

- all keyboard features are back (force auto rotate, disable landscape fullscreen, force enter button, ime notification, volume key cursor control)

- clock statusbar features

- crt animation

- statusbar brigthness slide

- safe headset volume

- volume rocker features (wake device, sound skip)

- slims privacy guard

- volume panel features we had

- keyguard on supported devices shows now transparent navbar/statusbar as well

- wifi country code

- advanced reboot menu

- custom LED battery and notification features

- swipe qs -> notification and back

- disbale OTA from google

- slims camera and video features (smart capture, image quality, image size, gps indicator etc)

- implemented root (needs to be enabled in developer settings or in superuser settings. Disabled by default)

- tons of fixes in google code and optimizations

- a lot under the hood stuff

- and whatever I forgot to mention lol

Is the gapps package provided by slim odexed or deodexed?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] madAdam6LOVE:
Deodexed. ART will not work. PA Odexed GAPPS will work with ART.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] friedsonjm:
Yes, I'm running that way now... couple of observations:

1. System seems slower and with noticeably more 'lag' when starting apps.

2. AnTuTu seems to confirm this, as score 'dropped' just over 1,000 points after conversion to ART.

Now, this may be the result of our current group of apps that are NOT optimized for use of ART, but that is just a guess on my part based on reading I've done... or it may have something to do with PA GAPPS, as I noticed a bit of the same thing right after I flashed them, and before conversion to ART.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] NexusPenguin:
Hi Dangnhap,

What do you mean "I can't use ADB" ?

First possibility : it means that you know how to use ADB but that is not working ;

Second possibility : you can't use it because you do not know how to use it...

If the second possibility applies, I might be able to help.

If the first possibility applies, I (like many others I guess) won't be able to help :(

i was only ever able to get flash working in 4.3 roms with UC browser. all other browsers crashed. i guess it would depend on the browser. i dont think it's anything Slim can address. i new webview recently got update to be the same as chrome. so maybe that is it.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jonny68:
What is UC browser?

I tried on Maxthon, Boat browser and X-Scope and didn't work, didn't try Chrome as it's not likely to work on that same as stock.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] efan3719:
UC browser is just another browser. it was the only i could get to work past 4.2. if flash isn't working it's either something adobe didnt update, the program needs to fix, or something google did on the back end that broke things. i really doubt it something that slim can fix.
