[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Drugoli:
I'm out of ideas, so I'm posting here to see if anyone might be able to help. Before that though, some SlimKat weekly feedback:

Newest weekly is awesome, as expected with Slim, buttery smooth. And I think my battery just got a boost somehow, I seem to be getting better battery life then with the last official (8.0), which is always nice :). So keep up the good work, excited for SlimPop :D. Good idea with the launcher too, seems nice. But I'm way too adjusted to Apex to ever switch to anything else :P

My problem has something to do with audio. Whilst listening to music through headphones, I get these weird sounds/glitches randomly during playback. I managed to record a mild version, sorry for the potato quality, which you hopefully can hear here.

It happens randomly on all of my files when using almost every music player (PowerAmp, N7, RocketPlayer), but oddly enough doesn't seem to happen with Google Play Music (playing the files, not using online functionality). I can sometimes listen for an hour with no problems, and others I get them every 10 seconds. The glitches can also vary in strength and length, with some being almost a full second long.

Can someone please help me, it's driving me insane and I can't seem to find a fix anywhere (my own testing hasn't helped either). PowerAmp is my favorite player, so preferably I wanna use that.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Well, I always say start simple :) Did you try different headphones? I always use double twist for my music playback and don't have any problems. It's a free app with paid add-ons. Would you mind trying that? Also if you still have the stock music app installed from gapps, I would try that as well. More than likely it's something simple. What kernel do you use? Some kernels allow changing sound volumes, etc. Any changed values for sound at the kernel level?

I would look at all those things. They are all easy enough to look at and more than likely one of the culprits. If none of that works though, let us know and I'm sure we can get ya fixed up. ;)

One other thought, I've not used poweramp, but if you don't get the pops with gplay music but you do with poweramp, is there a separate equalizer you can disable in power amp. That could be the issue too.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Drugoli:
I'll try Double Twist tomorrow, when I've travelling (since this is where I notice the glitches the most). Don't have the stock music app, I'm using normal Slim Gapps. As for the kernel, I'm using the one that comes with Slim. Tried running with ElementalX (+SlimKat ROM) at one point, same issue there, also with Linaro Kernel. As for the PowerAmp settings, I've tried changing all of them relating to sound in any way, no luck.

And thanks for replying :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] colida:
I had this kind of sound issues as well. First I had BusyBox installed, without knowing that Slim has its own build in. After I unistalled the additional BusyBox, the issues were less, but not gone.

I made a clean flash and tested it. No problems so far. After I installed Viper and Shuttle+ as my standard player, the sound problems came back, but not as ofter as before. I tried several kernels but now I do use ElementalX and the issues are gone.

In my case the cause might be viper in combination with slim kernel??? but I really don't know. What I do know is that I can't go without viper and I can't live without Slim.....

So for me this setup works best: Clean Flash, Viper, Shuttle+ and ElementalX.

By the way, do you have viper installed?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Drugoli:
I don't have Viper installed no. I only have SlimKat+SlimKernel and that's about it for under the hood stuff.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] coolek33:
U have to slim launcher :) still missing 2 things. Close drawer after app selection (comes handy when multitasking comes in) and desktop rotation.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] VictorLapin:
Well, i'm using poweramp via linaro kernel and have never experienced issues you describe. Have you tried changing sound buffer and/or priority in poweramp settings? PM me if it needs further investigating, will help if i am able to.

Tapatalked from Slim Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Yeah. I'd say if you're on slim + provided kernel and trying everything you've tried I'd try different headphones or different app. Whenever you get around to it though, like I said if you could try double twist and you don't get the pops it would tell a couple things: it's not your headphones and it's not your music files and it's more than likely either poweramp itself or your settings within.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] graffix31:
There is no way in slim launcher now to get to the apn settings right?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] coolek33:
Someone please make him happy.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jubakuba:
Just a small little thing that makes life easier.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
:) Played with the slim launcher a bit, but for now switched back to my usual. You're not seeing APN settings in the usual system settings spot?

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 PM ----------

I bow to the almighty juba :) You've always got some kind of good idea floating around in that head of yours don't ya?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fastmikey1969:
Love Slimrom. It there a way to disable double tapping the status bar to turn off the screen?

I seem to accidentally turn off the screen when I swipe down for notifications.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jubakuba:
Nope, [MENTION=1277872]dankoman[/MENTION] had the idea at the BBQ :laugh:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] R3Lax1:
Technically, you can, on the Sabermodded Slim.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
So then you got Dan drunk and took advantage of him eh? :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fastmikey1969:
Thanks, I never looked into the modded versions, is there a particular build that you recommend?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jubakuba:
Only twice.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gravedigger76:
Can it speaker be deactivates when brought back up to the face? ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] theesotericone:
Rad. Now when I pass a cop while driving and need to put the phone down the person on the other end won't have to wait those annoying 15 seconds for me to pick it back up. Genius I tell you, genius.:cool:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
Yes, that's exactly how it works.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] iverson01:
This is teaser?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
that must be it :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
So I was thinking about this feature, and I like it, but I think a small tweak should be made. If you've already thought of this, please ignore me. I feel the gyro should be used I conjunction with the prox sensor. This you're just switching ears or something it doesn't kick to speaker for a quick moment. With the gyro it could be that the phone is close to horizontal (not sure how much you can control this amount) before it switches to speaker. Thoughts?

So I'm guessing that we'll have a Weekly 8.9 this weekend and then on Nov 2nd/3rd we'll get SlimKat Final 9.0! It's pretty crazy really--I've been on Slim for over 18 months now (back when SlimBean was 4.1!), and this is the highest build number we've ever had consecutively! Can't wait for SlimPop 0.1! Great work, team! I (we all) really appreciate everything that goes into SlimRoms.

:) :D :laugh: :good:

EDIT: Oh, and btw, a few of you have messaged me over the past few months, so for those who remember my post nine months ago: My wife just gave birth to our first child two weeks ago! :D We're all doing well and just getting back into the somewhat normal rhythm of life. :) [MENTION=2495716]chikimonke[/MENTION], soon I'll be following your lead and changing my profile pic to something that has me and my son. ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
Congrats man. I've done it twice now, so if you have questions, just hit me with a PM or email. Enjoy every minute of it, it goes by fast, no matter how slow it seems to go right now.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] derukun:
I'm just patiently waiting for full functionality TRLS, I'm quite frankly not very interested in Android 5.0... I like Kitkat :D.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jubakuba:
I did consider extending an option for this. Personally I liked how quick it was so to change the audiomode so I didn't bother...but I totally get that...and it would be easy to implement.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
Cool, maybe it can be a secondary option, possibly with some way to calibrate how close to horizontal you need to get?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RobbieL811:
Lol. Well, you better get interested in it. You won't see TRLS until then at least. I think Dan is gonna wait until 5.0 to drop to work anymore on TRLS. At least that's what he told me.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Archipago:
I can't wait for SlimPOP. The way Lollipop is designed is really good and IMO eliminates the purpose of the theme engine so this ROM will be absolutely outstanding! I cannot wait :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
It looks great and since its already quite white, TRLS won't need to add much. TRDS would be great though, particularly if it had a standard mode as now and one that only swaps white and black so other material colours remain in place because they are really nice.

I actually flashed L yesterday and really like it. Looking forward to getting some slim settings in there.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Archipago:
Yes Tldr won't be to great. I also flash lollipop yesterday and damn it's great, with slims features and speed improvement damn that slim pop is gonna be one damn good rom
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] graffix31:
Are you guys staying on L until then or coming back to slim and was just trying it out?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
I'm going to stay on L for a while I think...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Archipago:
Will there be an option to disable slim recents on lollipop? I really like lollipop recent.. If not its ok I geuss
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] swat4samp:
No, they won't remove it until android r arrives :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Archipago:
I didn't say remove. Please read my post again..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
Disable / remove. Semantics.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
That's how my last patchset had it working before i abandoned the commits. Switching trds state manually cycled through normal, TRDS, and TRLS. But the daylight mode and light sensor mode just switched between TRDS and TRLS.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
Cool. Although I was sort of meaning a different mode to normal. Kind of 2 types of TRDS.

TRDS full (all blacked out)

TRDS Partial (All whites blacked out, but other materia colours still present)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] graffix31:
have you noticed a lot of apps not working on L?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JaylanPHNX:
The question for me is more what Slim recents will look like on Slimpop. Will it be the same visually and just incorporate the improved function of L recents, or will there be a whole new design carrying over the core philosophy of Slim recents?

From my SlimTab Pro 8.4
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Phazmos:
Fwiw - a few need updating, vast majority seem ok. Some tweaking apps have some troubles, but seems to depend on the version of l used. Some have betas that do seem to work ok.

All in all, not too bad, nothing that's keeping me from testing l out.

Worst part for me is the nav bar - can't change button order yet - I keep hitting home instead of back!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
I've not been using it heavily. The main apps I use work, which are Spotify, Tapatalk and Facebook.

The built in email app doesn't seem to have an Exchange option, so I can only setup my work account as IMAP, but then the app force closes / does nothing... Got around it by downloading K9 mail and an app that sync's calendars. Calendar also doesn't work, but you can install google calendar and then it does.

Theres a thread in general listing apps that dont work, but not sure how up to date it is.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Phazmos:
I couldn't use a kk rom without slim recents - but damn - l recents sure looks nice - and animations sure make it a lot more fun to play with.

The mighty goog did a great job there.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] hooliganx:
for me, don't exist better recents than Slim.

thinking in usability... not in effects or fantasys...

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Phazmos:
L recents are too good to discount.

I think they are my new favorite - 1 of the things that makes me keep going back to l.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AA1973:
And they do survive a reboot. Hrhr ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jubakuba:
Abandoned?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
I personally like the look of both current slim recents and L recents. For my opinion on it, if the team could keep the same functionality of the current recents but maybe just bring it in line with how the material recents look I'd be completely happy with that. My opinion :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Drugoli:
I've already tried with different headphones. Both my SoundMagic E30's and my Razer Tiamat 2.2 have these glitches. I just tried using Double Twist today both to and from school (roughly 2 hours music playing), no issues. But I also remembered, with the free version of Rocket Player, I had no glitches either. But right after buying the premium version, I started having them.

I'm still as stumped as to what the cause of the glitches are.

On the note of battery life, 2 full days on a single charge. I'm happy with this :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Aerowinder:
Nine is a fantastic app for Exchange. It is most definitely worth a look if you grow tired of K9. Syncs email, calendar, tasks, and contacts.

The only issue is the price. There is a trial though. I bought it after using it for 20 minutes.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Well, definitely some kind of settings in power amp then. You could either continue to try to tweak the settings in there or go with double twist if it grows on you. Honestly I just use the settings in DSP to tweak my sound and leave everything else alone. I've been using DT + it's paid add ins for about a year now with no problems, both on headphones and through Bluetooth in my car. I really like the lock screen controls of DT too. But yeah, if you want poweramp, I'd keep trying settings in there and then if I couldn't get them to work without the pops then I'd switch.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] pkelly517:
Feel free to grab the code from the Abandoned section of gerrit.

That's where Dan left it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] abdielol:
Absolutely can't wait for SlimPOP
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
They do indeed. Its vastly different from KK recents and so far haven't found much that needs to be improved. I've got 32 items in recents. I've not had any issues launching apps from there, or anything losing focus and dying. I don't even seen to have Android killing apps like I did with KK. Its all round a Much better experience than KK.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AA1973:
Thats my overall impression, too. And the animations are awesome.

Edit

Stopped counting at 45 [emoji15] called the cleaner...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Hopper8:
I have no issue on KK with not clearing them. But on L it just takes too long to scroll through such a long list because each preview is so big and not many show at once. Because the list doesn't clear on a reboot, after a couple days my recents list was around 50 apps :eek: while it wasn't a problem performance - wise, it was just annoying to try and find the one I want in there.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Phazmos:
I would bet Google's thinking was something like - recents is for recents - going back 50 items doesn't exactly qualify as "recent", by their definition anyway.

Wouldn't it be quicker to just open the app again from app drawer, or wherever it is?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
I don't know why they go so far. Since they're in order of last used, I never have to go back that far anyway. Recents is only to switch between apps recently used, so for a user, having to go back more than 8 cards or so is pretty superfluous - which on turn renders the point about it taking more time to find the app, more-or-less moot.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Phazmos:
I can see the opposite happening. Adding options like app info to l recents - and a scroll bar, or swipe down and hold to keep scrolling for those wanting to go back a lot of items faster.

Hmmm ..... there's an idea for slimpop!

Y'all heard it here first!

---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 PM ----------

Exactly. As mentioned, going back too far isn't exactly recent. The logic is there.

Why so many held - only showing like last 10 certainly wouldn't do justice to those gorgeous animations!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
I bet that's it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] derukun:
Oh crap, I didn't even know Danko abandoned the commits for TRLS/stopped working on it.

I really do enjoy the stability of Slimkat though, not to mention L will be missing Slim's awesome QS and Pie (which are the two things I love most about Slim haha).

I'll definitely try Slimpop builds though!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Hopper8:
Yeah I know. I wasn't trying to find an app that I'd opened yesterday, I open it from the app drawer obviously ;) It just irks me to have so many in there..... if I left it for 3 or 4 days I'd likely have every app on my phone listed there. Why bother having an app drawer inside my recents? :eek:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kevjef420:
I am having the same problem and for me it just started out of the blue. Flash was a clean one and about 1 week after installing 8.0 stable it started. I just installed 8.8 hoping that flashing a new version would solve it but no luck. I am very frustrated with this. If I install a third party dialer app there is no issue with it. just the stock one. :S
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Finally someone who thinks like me. I too like how the L recents look but not so keen on the functionality.

I guess I am also part of the problem... Since ICS I have really taken a habit into (re)launching apps mostly from recents. I only touch my app launcher when I have rebooted. Now I'll have to re-learn using the phone again.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Phazmos:
Another feature request for slimpop

# of recent items = user configurable

Another 1 first heard here!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] graffix31:
Just tried out l. It really is awesome. Can't wait for the official build and slimpop. Man I can't wait for slimpop. Preview is just to unfinished and slimkat is just so good. Had to come back.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JaylanPHNX:
So after talking with the wife, I'm officially in the market for a 64 GB Oneplus One. If anyone has or gets any invites, I'd appreciate it if you think of me.

From my SlimTab Pro 8.4
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bbabiuk:
I thought that after the 27 you no longer needed an invite. They Starr pre-orders then
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
pre-order is only for a limited time I believe, and it's first come first serve. Invites are still good, and I believe they get you one right away, no waiting.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JaylanPHNX:
Exactly my understanding as well. If I can't get one by the 27th, I'll certainly try the pre-order.

I don't understand why people are acting like losing root while flashing a rom is normal. I've never heard of it before flashing Slimkat
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Phazmos:
Losing root after flashing a rom isn't normal.

And I don't know of anyone who lost root after flashing slim.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Archipago:
Well obviously you don't get around to flashing much Roms. Lol
