This post and previous.

Yes I saved Slim Minimal Gapps on my PC and using 7-Zip I added non-hacked TRDSed (first danko version) to it. I changed as well DPI in build prop to 480 to have it stock upon flash. Then I did a clan flash in the morning. All looked good. I received a notification, I don't remember which app it was. Bright Weather and racing 3 were available to install. I gave it about an hour during which I uninstalled Messenger, rebooted, restored old version from Titanium. Notification did not appear. I rebooted and still no notification. Apps with pending updates were not showing notifications neither.

I changed DPI to my fav 420 ;) and at the beginning all seemed fine, compatibility was OK, and I was waiting for notifications which were not coming. I though I'll give them time. I did one or two reboots to provoke them. No luck. About noon I checked usual suspects for compatibility and it was gone. It looks like Google is realizing after some time that DPI is not 480 and is blocking "not compatible" apps.

In the afternoon I started to play (!) with newer danko's Play store, the half-hacked TRDSed and GPS 4.4.52 (1174655-

038

), setting permissions, clearing data, rebooting and so on, but I stayed on 420 DPI. The same. At the begining compatibility was fine, but there were no new updates. After some time compatibility was gone.

I think that the key to your success is that you stay on 480 DPI. I'm curious to see how it comes out for you after you go lower. 420 is nice :)

Now I refreshed Slim minimal Gapps with half-hacked Play store and GPS...-038 and flashed it with SlimKat 5,4 set to 480 DPI wiping cache, manually formatting system and wiping dalvik. Compatibility is still gone, I guess that because I did not do clean flash this time and I did not wipe Play, Services and Framwork cache and data prior to going to recovery.

As far as I see it, for 420 fans and other non stock DPIs fans, the stock full hacked Slim Play Store is still the only way to go = TRDS and compatibility with all apps on expense of notifications.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AvRS:
Ok cool, it probably is like you say the fact I remain on 480 all the time that's keeping it working for me. I've just changed to 420 dpi as remember it being mentioned in the thread before as a popular one in my build prop, wiped system, cache, dalvik etc and then flashed the ROM and AIO Gapps with same Play Store from before and all is fine at the moment. I've not cleared data or anything from any of the apps, framework or whatever and just going to leave them be as I did last time. First thing I did was check for any updates which there were none and checked the problem apps which are showing as compatible for now. Will see how they are in the morning after giving it some time to settle in.

420 is bearable actually however Airdroid and G-Music widgets now look rubbish as they're not filling the width of the screen and can't be adjusted which is annoying. Will probably go back to 480 after I've done this testing as I'm a creature of habit and once used to something stick to it haha.

Will let you know my results tomorrow I'm off to sleep on it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
Thanks for doing all that testing. It is seeming more and more that Google is doing stuff on their end to make our lives miserable. I'm kind of sorry I caused all of this in the first place. (I was the one that initially said something about Bright Weather that seemed to snowball into the last 30+ pages) Hopefully something good comes from all of this.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Garrykd:
Update: Like most, I woke up to play store app incompatibility again this morning. I decided, because some users have reported problems even with stock AIO 5.4 gapps, that I would do a system wipe, wipe the Google(x3) app data and install the 5.4 AIO. I did that early this morning and have had no comparability issues yet @ 420dpi (though I expect that with the hacked play store and older play services - the 5.4 gapps uses play services version 4.4.51 (1168931-070) by the way). I still have not received any update notifications though.

This evening I was thinking of doing [MENTION=1277872]dankoman[/MENTION]'s procedure again but this time I might try the play services version 4.4.52 (1174665-036) just to see what happens.....can't get any worse, can it? :p
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
Are you using Nova Launcher? if you are, check out the latest Beta, along with being able to resize all widgets, you can also remove all padding from them too, so the widgets can fill edge to edge of your screen if you want to. I use it with the Event Flow - Agenda View Widget on one home screen and it acts as a full screen calendar. It's quite nice.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Garrykd:
You caused it? I thought I did by asking [MENTION=1277872]dankoman[/MENTION] for an unhacked play store. But of you want to take the blame glory, be my guest. :silly:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
I started it, you catalyzed it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ralpheboyo:
Did exactly the same as mentioned albeit running play services version 4.4.52 (1174665-036)

Exactly the same results as stated with the benefit of not having incompatible issues

4 hours later am still good ( dpi 370)

If errors occur....

Step 2 will change dpi

Step 3 danko' s fix

Step 4 throw nexus against the wall ( must have done some serious damage to the battery today)

Seriously have you checked slim FAQ:

http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/faq
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Garrykd:
So you've tried the -36 version of play services but is that with hacked or unhacked play store?

Regarding step 4: We have a beanbag chair in our living room (I know, tacky) and it has been great for releasing frustrations (I do not have a temper) I've thrown several phones at it and haven't damaged anything... yet :angel:

Running Slim w/ Bricked kernel on the N5, nothing seems to happen when I plug in a drive even when I install Stick Mount (shows nothing mounted). I was using my charging/adb data cord with an adapter. What am I actually looking for? Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Silentbob999:
That's a really funny gift :D

By the way I lost compatibility in playstore after more than 30hours. We should just boycott incompatible apps. I think all of the apps I am using are OK anyway :p

Good evening everyone. Does anyone on here have any experience building just the Slim kernel from source? I am trying to do so and it appears that everything is compiling fine without error, but I can't find a boot.img anywhere. I am using the same toolchain that is normally used to build the ROM/kernel. It is in /slim_source/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.7/bin Here are the steps I am taking to start the build.

export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=~/slim_source/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.7/bin/arm-eabi-
make slim_hammerhead_defconfig
make -j32

Am I missing a step somewhere or something? Is there something else that I need to be doing?

okay, so google just released play store version 4.8.20 a little bit ago (4.8.19 was the old version), so i thought i'd do some poking around to see if there were any fixes to our "issues." unfortunately, all that was updated was cosmetic stuff, as well as some string translations and such. however, during my comparison, i realized that the version ("semi-hacked") that i posted here yesterday that was supposed to still auto-update, well...... dunno what i did, but anyway, it still had auto-updates disabled. :o whoops, sorry bout that guys... anyway, i changed that in the new hacked version. so auto-updates are enabled again, and play store *should* think you're using a 480 dpi device regardless of your dpi setting. oh, and i brought over all the TRDS stuff to the new version too.

here is the hacked version: http://d-h.st/rUQ

i have also prepared an unhacked version that's all stock except for TRDS additions. this will probably only work for you if you stay at stock dpi (480) all the time and never mess with your dpi at all.

here's the UNhacked version: http://d-h.st/kGi

So now I'm incompatible, again.....I didn't do anything, update-wise, still on the official 5.4 AIO gapps ..... :confused:

I'll try the new 4.8.20 play store later and see what happens.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
It probably won't install in the traditional sense. You have to rename it to Phonesky.apk and use a root explorer to place the file in the /system/priv-app/ folder overwriting the one that is there and change the permissions to match all the other files in the folder rw-r-r. Then clear data for Play Services and Play Store and reboot.

I just installed latest 4.8.20 hacked playstore. I already had 0.38 gms pushed to system, I only wiped playstore data and rebooted. for now, everything is sweet, apps are compatible and I get update notifications. will se how it goes...

So after 12 hours of having the phone at 420 dpi I was still compatible with bright weather when checking in the play store but I had an update pending which it didn't notify me of. Half hour later I've just gone back in and both bright weather and real racing have disappeared so it seems when you go in the first time it looks all to be good but triggers some sort of check so the next time you lose compatibility. Well that was all for the love of science I'm going back over to 480 dpi with the latest Danko store ;)

I'm still looking for proper emoticon.

Yesterday night I did a clean flash of SlimKat 5.4 and Slim minimal gapps 5.4 exactly as downloaded from slimroms.net no messing around with zips.

Today I realised I lost compatibility on testing apps being on 420 DPI :(

Having nothing to lose I copied the above newest phonesky.apk to system/priv-app and set permissions, rebooted and voila! Apps started auto updating just after I have consent to play store. I smelled few updates. Set the setting to not auto update and rebooted. After reboot I received notification of 4 apps pending update, those I cancelled their auto updates.

I rebooted again to see if notification will come up again but 5 minutes left and no luck. And guess what? I've just lost compatibility which was there after first and second reboot.

Be cursed Google!

PS all the time on 420 dpi

This morning (about an hour ago) I changed my play services to 4.4.52 (1174665-036) and updated to [MENTION=1277872]dankoman[/MENTION]'s latest hacked play store 4.8.20. (wiping app data as usual)

All seems well (I have compatibility and the "free" labels are present) - haven't received any update notifications yet.

However, just now I have noticed that I have been updated to the -38 play services and I have com.google.android.gms-1.apk in data/app (where previously there was none - I deleted it before updating)

I imagine I will lose compatibility again.....I'll see how long it takes.

So, I guess the Google servers are polling the phone in a different way than the current hacks address, to check for dpi.....maybe

As a side note, the wife's mako, that I updated to the original unhacked play store 4.8.19 from several days ago, has been auto-updated to the latest play services and play store - 4.4.2 (1174655-036) and 4.8.20 - it has no compatibility issues and is still receiving update notifications.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tylog:
0.38 / 0.70 at the end of the version number is the one for our device. Sometimes it's 0.38 , sometimes 0.70 , why ever Google exchanges the sometimes. The latest aktuell play Service end with 0.38 , it's for 480 DPI Devices. Only this only these two version numbers run properly.

audio scrubber for the NPR app is no longer working. I have tried an uninstall, wipe cache, wipe data (app) and reinstall...but no joy. All other media player/service scrubbers work as intended. This just started happening after an update to 5.4. Has anyone else had a similar experience?​
