Yes they are, and have been for a while, here and other roms, slim and other gapps. Has been mentioned, but never any feedback.

Would love to see a fix.

I've tried them all, even bought a few, but keep going back to trickster. It's simple, changes what I want to change, and never had a problem with it. I don't argue with success.

I only recently left stock to come back to Slim after using it on my previous 2 phones and to be fair am not missing the dialler which I thought I might as everything looks the same to me with the exception of getting recommendations I never used anyway so not bothered about the business search. Only reason for coming from stock is that I wanted quiet hours and quick tiles but have also found the customisable nav bar ring targets even more useful then quick tiles for turning the phone on vibrate and removing the annoying Google search from it.

So all in all I use 3 things with everything else wasted on me :laugh: If I could have those 3 things on stock I'd be back to it as get better battery on stock and after removing all the AOSP apps (music, calendar, browser, mms) along with a few other Slim things and replacing them with the Google variants I'm basically running a version of Slim that mirrors stock. I could flash any basic ROM with these functions but Slim has always been my chosen custom ROM which is the only reason I'm here :D

Did you have any audio playing when you took the screen shot? If no audio is playing it'll show not enabled. You might could try enabling the Expert Ui and try Force Enable V4A. Sometimes I'll have to toggle that a time or two to get headphone jack to process. Kinda running out of ideas to help you lol What music player are you using? Some music players like Poweramp work best with V4A when you change FX Compatible mode to Compatible. Google Play Music should work fine leaving it set to Normal.

Check out NiLS from the PlayStore along with the Floating Window Beta for it. It's pretty awesome and looks to have many of the same features AOSPAL has. Definitely much much more useful on the lock screen than DashClock.

Is anyone else having trouble with the proximity sensor? Idk if it's they way I hold my phone or what but when I end a call, my brightness well be turned all the way down and/or I'll be in a random app or something like that. I can try to get a logcat if it would help. I was just wondering if I was the only person that was having this problem?

need to clean up...other then that working and finished :p

But to be clear big big big big thanks go to Xiao-Long ChenXiao-Long Chen which worked some weeks on it to figure out how to integrate it as open source. So nearly all credits go to him please :)

I used my phone as a phone:silly: for the first time in a couple weeks earlier and had the same issue. On stock kernel.

Edit: Just took another call as soon as I clicked reply and had the same thing happen.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
We've narrowed it down to SystemUI, probably statusbar/notification issue. In the process found 2 other bugs there as well. As for a sure answer to the problem, not yet. Unfortunately it isn't fcing for us so logcat doesn't tell us specifics except it complains about delays and skipping frames. We've noticed that on a good wakeup surface flinger takes up close to 10% cpu and on a slow wakeup systemui eats up more. Now for the good news we have a internal test build across a few devices that, although doesn't fix the problem, makes it livable with. You won't need to wait 3-10 seconds for it to wakeup but animations will yank like a mofo. So progress ;)

Are many/most SlimLP builds now bundling SuperSU?

Has that become pretty standard...that is, do you know if others in the Builders Collective are now also bundling SuperSU?

PS [MENTION=2095315]ezio84[/MENTION] I had to look up Giovinazzo; not many places I'd like to visit more than your corner of Italy...Castel del Monte, Bari, Cattedrale di Trani, Il Colosso di Barletta...wish I could say, "I'll see you soon."
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ezio84:
You are always welcome, we have good places and good food :D (also a lot of bad things, but that's another story)

iirc Yank's build doesn't have a bundled SuperSU installer but if you install it manually you'll have a SuperSU entry in the Settings menu :good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SOHKis:
any sprint users here? after returning back to the n5 from some time on my n6, I have noticed that the toggle/switch for 'cellular data' seems to have disappeared when I go into settings > data usage on slimlp 5.1.1 & haven't been able to isolate when/where this happened. (Last I used slimlp on the n5 was a 5.0.2 build) Image of the missing toggle attached.

I also get 'no sim card - sprint' displayed on the lockscreen when connected to LTE, however it doesn't seem to be related.

some searching has brought me across this com commit to restore the missing 'cellular data' toggle - http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/98073/

and this 'no sim card' fix that was implemented for the m8 - https://review.slimroms.eu/#/c/6864/

something tells me it's related to the n5 as the cellular data toggle appears on my n5 running 5.1.1 on sprint. any insight would be appreciated.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] efan3719:
hello all. just thought i'd share something real quick that may possibly help others. In recent builds of Slim I was unable to get MMS working even though the preloaded APNs looked 100% correct. Today I deleted the APNs that were in there by default and added the correct APN manually and all works. I really did not notice anything that was different between the two but I don't really have a good eye for detail so maybe there was some tiny difference. But I guess if you are having problems with APNs try just manually adding things even if the preloaded ones look correct. might not help everyone but it helped me so I just thought I'd share.

Skip Buttons

Having an issue with Robbie's latest build. I just clean flashed and setup the phone. I am noticing the Lag on the Lockscreen that is talked about. Only other issue I am having is trying to skip tracks with volume button. It does not work. Yes I have checked the box in the settings to allow. I am rebooted and turned the setting on an off multiple times. Still no luck. Anyone else having this issue? I have only tested in Google Music as I use no other music service. Glad to be back on Slim.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] panni:
Same for me with the lockscreen lag. Is it kernel related or ROM related? I've switched from ElementalX to yank555's kernel, which improved battery life significantly, but the lockscreen lag still is there about half the time.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dokie80:
Rom related afaik. Ezio's SlimLP version was said to have No issue on this. Head over to Slim builder's collection thread to read about this.

He use Nova for launcher though and has several mod on the rom.

I'm waiting for Robbie for fix, but not seeing the lag.

Try a clean flash with an old gapps package - something before July
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] panni:
Won't the play store still update the apps regardless of the gapps package version I flash?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Phazmos:
Yup, a long as there is an update from play store
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DigitalUnderground:
I've never seen a ROM fall from pure greatness and dominance to a broken ghost town like this. Sad... Really. Slim was BY FAR the best kk ROM, and for whatever reason, just never figured it out with LP... Now MM is here and we're still talking about beta?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ezio84:
Do you really think a beta tag for a software or a rom means something?

Stock L is more beta than this rom.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maxwen:
Some people always complain about everything :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Yank555:
Yep complain AND miss out on the good stuff, just because of labels ;)

Call the same ROM "v2.4 stable official" and they'll download and flash, and it's just text in the about setting :D

It's to their loss anyways... ;)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dokie80:
Why not call it stable then? He got a point, but u guys too. :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] theesotericone:
How about we call it a stable beta. Hell, it was a stable alpha. It's a DD and if people want to get hung up on the beta tag so be it. Most of us that build or use it know the real deal. The Slim team have delivered a very solid ROM.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Yank555:
Look at it this way, it was never labeled 'unstable', was it ? ;)

The alpha/beta tag is nothing but an administrative decision to call it that way (and is linked to feature set only, never stability), and that's what it is in most custom ROMs, someone calls it 'a new version' because well it's evolved, but when is it enough for that next step ? Hard to tell, gut feeling ?

So I stand by what I've always said about this, who lives by labels will miss out on good stuff, but it's their decision alone to do so.

And don't get me wrong, I don't criticise them for doing so, just for posting stupid 'Slim is dead, used to be good' posts, because that's unfortunately what they are, just stupid posts (sorry for the honest language, but at some point being politically correct only doesn't get the message through anymore), which help development in no way, so they could even be seen as 'against xda rules in dev threads', but Slim threads have never been so strict.

I have had an excellent rock solid ROM on my device(s) for months, gaining on features as time went by, that's what matters to me.

I share the ones I compile, free for anyone to use, and so do the others in the BC and does Slim in general.

We don't get anything out of this if 1 or 1000 persons flash it on their device, that's also something many don't seem to get, all we get by working on this is a better ROM for our own devices ;)

So these stupid posts, to get back to that, only clutter the threads, and won't make even the slightest difference in the way the ROM will evolve nor how fast they'll do, so it's just lost time for those who post and those who have to read them...

But now back to my vacation ;)

Politically correct never gets a message through. Glad you're finally understanding that. I live in Cali, which is basically the PC capital of t he universe. I grew up 40 miles from NYC however. They don't do PC on the east coast. You tell it how it is and if people have a problem with that it's there problem not yours. Anyway, since I moved out west I've refused to change the way I speak or address people. Some people take offense and walk away to talk behind my back. Others get it. I'm not trying to be rude or hurtful, I'm just trying to tell it how it is. I've actually had a few people thank me for pointing some things out that most would not. I've always believed in being honest with myself as well as others. My wife likes to say I'm "brutally honest". I can live with that.:cool:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SOLheel:
I agree with this post a lot.

I started off with custom roms using cyanogenmod, little while later I found slimrom and I used it on every device I had with no issues. Top devices or low end cheap devices, The performance, battery life, and customization options was far beyond every other rom back then.

Regardless of what the builders and people working to keep slim alive say, the reality of it is that it could be considered dead to most people not heavily involved with slim.

Messages about problems with the website, with other sites/servers for files, problems with the team, still having the "nightlies are coming in a few weeks" on the OP that was posted December 2014. I know work is still happening, and there is a lot of different people building for Slim on various devices. But it is 100% not the same as before.

You can't goto the slim website every month and download the latest official rom for a device with a few clicks and have a common slim experience across devices.

Now there is tons of builders, incorporating all sorts of different features and stuff into their roms. Slim may not actually be dead, but I'm pretty sure the average ROM flasher no longer looks for Slimrom first.

I'm not even sure how long slim has been at beta .5 for but trying to convince people it is not dead is not the way to go about it IMO. Having a consistent official up to date rom that all the developers are working towards making a cohesive experience across various devices is the only way to prove to everyone slim is not dead to the normal user.

I'm not trying to disrespect anyone working on slim, but if you try other roms compared to slim, or have been using other roms for the past 3-4 months, the progress on non-slim roms compared to slim is a big difference.

Instead of taking offense to the perception people have that slim is no longer what it previously was, maybe that opinion can be used in such a way to inspire the devs to try and improve the image of slim in the eyes of those that have been using it for years and wish that slim was once again the top custom rom to install without having to look through a collective thread, and then figuring out which build has the features a user wants.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] efan3719:
Slim isn't dead. Check the Gerrit. Being worked on and updated constantly. Maybe the OP is a bit out of date and the website isn't fully 100%. But Slim, the ROM, the collection of code, is not dead. Check the Slim Builder's Thread if you want newer builds and up to date features.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DigitalUnderground:
The reason why it's not called stable, like their other stable releases, is because its not stable. I've read all the bugs in this thread since the first slimLP release. I've never complained about this ROM ever until my last post. The original n5 slim devs are my favorite. Most appear to be gone. It's unfortunate, that's all I was saying. Wasn't even a complaint. I'm a slim fanboy just like u guys, no need to get all defensive. I mean, the website issue is enough to turn people away. It's sad. I miss it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Good discussion so far :) I personally think both sides have valid points. Slim is not dead and it's not the same as before. There is a ton of work being done on it daily and features added almost daily. Actually it seems to me the threads have more dev talk in them than before. The community is asked for feedback all the time....

If I can make a suggestion. The way it is now, the BC thread is really where most of the builders are and where most of the dev talk takes place. Guys like [MENTION=2033478]Yank555[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2095315]ezio84[/MENTION] and so on put out builds for different devices and ask for feedback. When they get the feedback they sometimes feed that to Robbie or whoever and it gets pushed out. :) I guess what I'm trying to suggest is since that's the thread where most of the dev/user interaction happens maybe that should be the central thread now. I think the "slim is dead" stuff keeps coming up partly because slim is a little less centralized and maybe it should be centralized around the BC thread because that's where the most builds get put out...just an opinion :)

---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:22 PM ----------

Just had another thought :) Another reason probably for "slim is dead"...is there a lead dev? I mean I think by defacto for awhile it looked like it was Robbie. He sort of came in and started taking the reigns a bit...heya Robbie :) Now it just kind of loosely floats. Maybe somebody needs to be an elected spokesperson so again it feels more centralized. Somebody to come out and say " hey we're working on xxzy".

I've actually thought about it before myself how it's different more now from how it was before and these are just some things coming to mind. Is there anything wrong with it...no I don't think so. Is Slim dead...no. Is it different than before...well yes and I think just a little different enough from all the other ROM's that some keep making the "slim is dead" statements...

OK, so I had a few thoughts :)

As I recall, slimlp has the same features slimkat had.

Sure, others add tons if features, but do remember the part of the name of this rom that has never changed - slim.

That's what always set slim apart from most roms - it's slim base.

There are plenty of other roms with tons if features - that use slim as a base - and still do. That says something.

A house is only as solid as its foundation - this is solid foundation.

---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TJKV:
Hmm, this is an interesting discussion actually :p

To add my opinion:

1. I personally don't think Slim is "dead", although it has taken a relatively slower pace since a few of the main devs are busy with Real Life(tm).

2. Of course the community is still very much alive and kicking, hence so many others are contributing code to slim gerrit and also making their own builds, as their own take on a rom based on SlimLP.

3. Now I for one don't consider these builds official SlimLP builds, but I have nothing against them either. IMHO it is actually a very nice way of testing out different features and getting feedback, and evaluating if they can be merged into the official codebase.

4. So basically the focus has shifted from roms of the official SlimLP codebase to roms with a little (or a lot of) extras.

But as long as the vision behind the official codebase (code that works really well and is lightweight, since that's where the name "Slim" comes from, and only the features that really matter) stays the same, and a relatively recent build from this codebase remains available, I'm perfectly content with Slim, just as I had been since the days of SlimICS/Slimbean on my previous device (Initially maintained by Kayant, and then by me for Slimbean and Slimkat)

As a comparison CM goes hard and fast at merging stuff, and very frequently their automated nightly builds are full of bugs. Slim on the other hand, due to how much care the codebase receives, can always be counted on to work as expected when compiled at ANY time straight from github. When I was maintaining for my old device, it was a very easy job for me because of this. I only needed to deal with my device tree and vendor, the other stuff was GUARANTEED to work and any problem the rom had (not booting etc) was most likely on my end only.

The weekly releases were also done with a lot of love and care, and even more so for the once a month/once in two month Stable builds. But these require a lot of time to do, so I completely understand why these are not happening (Lack of time and lack of the previous infrastructure)

Like [MENTION=3276129]Phazmos[/MENTION] said above, Slim has a very solid official codebase that has been curated with a lot of blood, sweat, and tears from our official devs. That's what I value about Slim, and that is why it has been my ONLY option for a custom ROM for the past three years. But I do wonder what pace Slim (ie the official codebase) will move at once Marshmallow code drops, it could do with more core contributors for the core android repos I suppose. If our Slim Builder's Collective rockstars are familiar with these parts of the OS then it shouldn't be an issue I guess.

So that's my take on this matter :)

Btw who is the "Gatekeeper" of the slim code base these days, who decides what gets merged in from gerrit?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] efan3719:
Dunno if there is any one person. It seems like they just all work together. But I don't know anything behind the scenes as far as that goes.

But if anyone wants an up to date build of slim all they really gotta do is repo sync and build. Robbie has been busy with real life like you said and doesn't get "official" builds posted often.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TJKV:
Yep, hence I've been itching to get the source synced up and get back to my building days. But that may not be possible anytime soon....

But [MENTION=2640853]Garrykd[/MENTION]'s builds are actually pretty much official with just the addition of Layers, so that works just as well I suppose. The layers commits are definitely not problematic in any way, and it is nice to have theming options available. In fact I would suppose the only reason layers hasn't been merged into official is because maybe they are thinking of/debating about TRDS/TRLS, since that is a Slim original feature.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] efan3719:
yeah. his and my builds are usually pretty similar. just slim with an extra feature or two. usually winds up getting merged down the line.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DigitalUnderground:
That was kinda my point. I love Robbie. He's a cool dude who helped me way back in the day and has contributed a ton. As have some other new faces, and I see familiar names who have been around forever like [MENTION=2757264]efan3719[/MENTION], but its not what it was.

When kufi and juba were around, they were implementing requests on the fly. Slims original features plus the rock stability was what set it apart. Bug reports didn't really exist often. All nightlies were stable, and stables were perfect. Bugs squashed in 24 hrs.

Of course it's not dead. Development is still happening and good people are volunteering time to work on it. All I was saying was it's not what it used to be around here
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] efan3719:
yeah we've lost some rockstars but we are getting new ones. the pace has slowed a bit but the progress has been steady. i guess i havent really thought about it too much since the builders thread opened and we had dozens of roms to flash in the mean time.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Phazmos:
Another unofficial build is from bokbokan.

I believe it's straight slim, but odexed and compiled with uber tc.

Been running it for a while now, and never had any lags.
