WOW. nobody even bothers to read? 5 people complained one right after another. About the same thing. SEARCH. refer to the OP for known bugs and other info.

So far, the bugs are:

1.) Rotation is borked. Use rotation control or a similar app from the play store as a work around.

2.) Camera is broken until an official build or drivers becomes available for our device.

3.) GPS is also borked but apparently some people had some luck with it.

There. Posted for noobs who don't bother searching before asking, and an attempt to minimize clutter. -other than this post-
[Nexus 7 Original Development] barleysoda:
the OP states that the new google launcher is not included in the gapps package offered in the op however it was there when I installed it.

Also the "SlimRom" version of 4.4 seems to have a different DPI setting then the stock 4.4. and the google search bar at the top doesn't go completely across the screen and therefore not centered.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] s33d1ing:
Slim always uses a different dpi. I believe it is set to 182.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] d0ge01:
same bug of Galaxy nexus, fixed in this way:

change res/arrays.xml of the framework-res

<string-array name="config_locationProviderPackageNames">
<item>com.android.location.fused</item>
<item>com.google.android.location</item>
<item>com.google.android.gms</item>

thnx! :)

dirty flash is possible?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] d0ge01:
I think yes :), i always dirty flash ( from another slimkat 4.4 ) without any issues
[Nexus 7 Original Development] h4gH:
right, just installed using wipe cache/dalvik without any problem (latest CWM)

GPS working (although it was working for me even with the first release)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] usrname42:
Sorry if I'm being an idiot, but how do you change the DPI to stock? Or is it not possible in this build?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dirtygoldfish:
Changing from within the Settings isn't supported yet I believe. But as always, if you have root you can find your build.prop in /system using your file explorer of choice, editing the "ro.sf.lcd_density" value from 180 to 213, and then rebooting.

You can do this to the ROM zip before flashing too (which is what I always do with Slim on my phone), so that at first boot it's at stock dpi.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] twizmwazin:
Hi, at this point is there any reason to switch over from PA's aosp? What features are implemented, I am assuming most of them are absent so far. Also, if i do switch, will I be able to use PA's gapps? This rom seems pretty solid and I am thinking on switching to it for Android 4.4. Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] shinesthru:
All your questions have been answered in the OP or the last few pages. Give it a quick read.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] AidenM:
Can you dirty flash this over the PA AOSP build? Will test later, but I don't have much time and would rather not go through the hassle of having to restore a nandroid.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] alershka:
Any thoughts on how to get otg usb to work? It starts to mount then immediately unmounts.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] shinesthru:
Have you tried Stickmount from the Play Store? I have not tried it on this SlimKat, but it works great on the PA 4.4 build.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Zero Night:
I get an Kexec hardboot error when trying to boot this as a secondary rom through multitom. I already flashed the faux kernel to this rom and multirom still gave me the same error.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] alershka:
I tried Stickmount and usb otg helper. The drive shows as mounted in app but doesn't show any where in storage.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] shinesthru:
For Stickmount, did you try browsing to /sdcard/usbstorage/?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] alershka:
It is very strange. It appears that the drive shows up buried in the internal sd card. It is in /storage/sdcard0/usbstorage/sda1 directory. Prior to this it usually showed up as a separate directory under storage.

I noticed it was lumping the file storage total under the storage settings.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] RobertsDF:
Flash faux to the primary rom
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ricardowec:
I had the same problem. Facebook app was updated on the 30th and seems to be that it doesn't install properly.

You have to uninstall it manually and clean download it and install it again
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Metalazzo:
Yeah, I did something like that and it works now :)

For the moment, I am pleased with this beta2 (smooth, quick), it's very good work the slimrom team ! Thank you all !! :cool:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dled1286:
Yeah it had been awhile since i messed with my n7 since i was waiting on the 4.4 to be released. I have alot more free time now so i really do need to stay up to date now. At least i learned somethings whilst doing the fix which is always a plus

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 PM ----------

When i first flashed slimkat to my GS4 i had the FB app force closing but i rebooted and it went away.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Bo0bz:
I am having an issue with my n7. Since beta 2.0 my tablet shuts down randomly. I tries switching to other kernels but the issue remains. I attached a log which hopefully shows the issue.

Sorry but I think you are in the wrong thread. This is the SlimKat thread and your question pertains to a general Q&A

Is slimkat rom and kernel compiled with Linaro or Sabermod toolchains?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Original Development] k4bbe:
Hi guys.

Is there some secret code or something you have to enter in order to get the ART runtime to stick after a reboot?

Im stumped.

Select in settings, tablet reboots, no Optimising apps message, and Dalvik is reinstated in settings.

Currently on stock rom but I've also tried with M kernel with the same outcome. Any pointers? Just want to check it out to see what all the talk has been about.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] friedsonjm:
If you have Xposed installed ART won't stick.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] k4bbe:
Oh... I see. Disable first, reboot, then reenable or does it not work with ART at all?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] friedsonjm:
Completely incompatible it's one or the other right now. I gave up ART to get Xposed ad blocking.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] k4bbe:
Deal breaker for me too in that case then as the Xposed functionality is crucial for me these days.

Ce la vie.

Thanks for the heads up

I just clean flashed from beta 2 to beta 2.3 and it seems great except for one small issue.

On every boot, recovery (twrp) briefly flashes on screen right before the slimkat logo shows up. It shows the last screen twrp was on when it was last used for a split second.

Has anyone else encountered this? I tried everything obvious, and it doesn't seem like it'd be a rom issue, but I'm out of ideas, and the rom update is the only thing that changed recently. Any ideas?

display settings

hi all,

I just flashed the 2.4 weekly (clean flash) and i get FC when i select display settings. the other settings work fine.

any ideas?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mystx2112:
Having the same problem with settings as well, tried flashing the rom again, and no luck.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Natakranta:
Hi Guys, I am a long time Slim user (Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 now) signing up here. After over a year of usage my wife’s Nexus 7 with three user accounts on it and hundreds of silly apps installed got so unresponsive that she finally allowed me to mess with it as I promised to bring the speed back :cool:

Up until last Saturday it was Google full stock KitKat 4.4.2. Doing factory clean up on it I decided it’s perfect moment to unlock the bootloader, flash CWM and flash latest SlimKat, at the moment it was beta 2.3.

I’ve never seen Slim on tablet so I’m surprised with little differences comparing to Slim on phone, Nexus 5 in this case. I see Notifications and Quick Settings are separate pull downs. Is there a way to have them as one pull down covering whole screen, as it is on phone?

So far my 2 year old daughter while watching YouTube managed somehow to cause a reboot which looped on SlimKat booting. I had to hard reset. I didn’t see what she was taping so no idea what was that. Happily no strange reboots since then.

Sometimes on a top line of the screen a graphical glitch appears, a line of colourful pixels. As well User Picture in QS sometimes is crisp and sometimes is very pixelated. It was clean flash with checked and matching checksum and latest available Slim Minimal Gaaps beta 1.x from December. I set DPI to stock 213. If I remember correctly these pixelated lines were appearing on Slim DPI as well.

I don’t have any logs as I didn’t see a point in capturing them when next beta was just behind the corner. I’m going to clean flash beta 2.4 tonight and see if it’s still there.

Definitely I’m going to be regular visitor here now :)

Is the Display Settings FC happening to everybody on beta 2.4? Or is there someone without this issue?

I claen flashed beta 2.4 on my Nexus 5 today and as others reported, I had a problem with new Slim Gapps messing up Play Store user apps restoring process.

Maybe I'll hold on a day or two with beta 2.4 and see if anything new comes up.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] friedsonjm:
I use SPEC-Gapps, which makes some additional changes so I have to flash it as well, every time I flash a ROM, and to be clear, I flash it last - ROM, Kernel, then SPEC-Gapps, all at the same time, but in that order.

I'm not having any problem with Gapp, just the display FC, and only because I checked to see if it was an issue.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ferrari35:
Getting fc in display settings and user apps won't download fresh install of both slimkat and gapps gonna go back to 2.3 for the time being
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Natakranta:

I'm waiting for news about this display settings FC.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Metalazzo:
hello

back again with my facebook app problem.

now, i can't even install it (error -20 in google play)

i tried to clean cache, davilk, etc. but no chance.

i'm still on davilk, not on art.

edit: last gapps (beta 2)

anyone has an idea ?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] friedsonjm:
Did you go to data/data and search for the facebook file, delete it, and try again?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Archaic1881:

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Natakranta:
Thanks! I knew it's worth to wait a day. Anybody who flashed todays (21/01/2014) build: Slim-grouper-4.4.2.beta.2.4-WEEKLY-2471 please report how it is running. I need to know if there are any major bugs before I flash it to my wife's grouper as I don't have time to test it as intensively as on my phone. Thanks!

2.4 running great for me too on ART, not 1 issue
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Natakranta:
ART sounds tempting, maybe it would give some kick to this old slab.

After all I'm not using Xposed on it, so why not give it a try.

Thanks for reminding me!

I've just done a clean flash and I'm setting things up for my wife and daughter.

Newer version of gapps from yesterday did not fix play store auto restore bug.

TiBu pays it's price once more.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Metalazzo:

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Natakranta:
Anything I should know about TiBu backups and ART?

I don't think backups done in dalvik can be restored in ART or vice versa?

Am I right here?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] annoyingduck:
Nope, has absolutely nothing to do with it. Art & dalvik are run times, zero impact on the apk+it's stored data. The only choice you need to make is whether or not to restore apps first, or enable art first. Both take a long time. Enabling art first seems to be a bit faster overall, tough to tell...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jyesucevitz:
I have backed up all apps in dalvik. Restored them and then turned ART on with success. Of course rebooting will take about a half hour while the apps optimize, but almost everyone has said that. I will say that I personally saw no difference in the way the tablet ran with it on, but had to try.

Advanced Reboot menu

Dear all,

maybe I tell really common thing, but for me it took me 10 min Google search :o

I always though it is in Developer Options.

To get the Advanced Reboot menu you have to go to:

Settings - Security - Secure Reboot.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

default it is:

1) Normal Reboot - When selected, it shows:

Message:

Your phone will reboot now

Cancel | OK

2) Advanced Reboot - When selected, it shows:

- Reboot

- Recovery

- Download

Cancel | OK

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope I could help some noobs like me :angel:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tuniel:
great job (i mean it seriously :) ), but you could've saved 10 mins by looking at the FAQ (http://slimroms.net/index.php/faq/slimbean/287-where-s-the-reboot-to-recovery-in-the-power-menu)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] simarilon:
sorry my friend :) but this is what I did first, but they say:

"It's hidden.

Go to the developer options and look for "advanced reboot" and set the option to whatever you like.

Now you'll have it again."

And this is a maybe old information. Now it is in --> Settings - Security - Secure Reboot.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Natakranta:
I personally didn't see substantiation difference either switching to ART.

Beta 2.4 on both Dalvik and ART, I had problem with flash hacked app not playing nicely on Dolphin, lagging and freezing on full screen.

So I moved back to stock just rooted. As it's my wife's tablet it doesn't have to have fancy features, it just should work fast and reliably stream TV :D

I will test Slim once again when Stable build comes and I have some free time.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Cliniclyinsane:
Very noticeably faster with art for me. Like night and day
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Natakranta:
Do you have a lot apps installed? I didn't. Just Slim minimal gapps and few basics from market.

Maybe ART is more noticeable when there's plenty apps installed.

I need an authentication certeficate to connect to an ecxhange server.

Try using the Touchdown app to access Exchange.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Lupin The Third:

It's cheaper (and better) using stock email client or another ROM.
