heh heh heh heh heh, using different kind of reading glasses:silly:..I see your point...i was just curious if any of app acting strange when you said:good: that..
[Nexus 7 Original Development] occtec:
Quick very noob type question. If I'm running stock 4.4.3 can I still install this ROM or will it cause issues going back to 4.4.2??

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 7 Original Development] coolek33:
Try latest weekly so you won't be going back.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] occtec:
yeah, saw that after I had already flashed 4.4.2 anyway can I just flash 4.4.3 weekly over the top or do I need to wipe everything first?

EDIT: anyone using Franco or recommend best kernel for this ROM
[Nexus 7 Original Development] coolek33:
Wipe cache, dalvick and system. Flash rom and gapps. And you're set. It's dirty flashin' but it shouldn't cause any trouble.

how to use CM Themes

just wondering if any of you guys using any CM themese on the SlimKat ROM on N7..

I used to use HKThemeManager way back, but now I installed new one, when I open it, it won't even recognize any of CM themes I have..

greatly appreciated for any feedback or suggestions..:good:

hopefully, SlimKat brings some theming options like CM...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] slovenec88:
Good question!

CM11 has a new theme engine, so I guess this is the issue.

Anyone got insight on this?

i guess so....hopefully next release of SlimKat get this integrated into ROM, it would be a shame not able to use theme in SlimKat!

guys, I am on offical SlimKat stable release...

Recently I got notification that saying "Android 4.4.3 System Update" available - this is official Google update pushed to Nexus 7.

what I should do? funny thing is that I killed OTA update, but some reason keep popping up...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] coolek33:
Update to latest SlimKat weekly. It's on 4.4.3.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ferparedes:
Hey, just installed the latest weekly 4.4.3 and I'm still getting that system update notification. How do I get rid of it?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jazzespresso:
yeah...same here...that's quite annoying..hopefully all ironed out with stable 4.4.3! wondering when that would be:confused:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ferparedes:
Curiously it just went away on its own a few minutes ago. Weird.

I was about to go through the instructions here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2429820

But the notification had already disappeared. Bear in mind, if you're getting the notification, the tablet is downloading the OTA again and again (checked data usage stats and showed over 4GB of data over wifi over the last few days). Right now I'm running a data manager to check for massive downloads.

Luck!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] billjobs:
Hi Guys,

All members of my family use this. Does it have User Profiles option ?? Can multiple users have their own accounts?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Original Development] coolek33:
You mean something like this?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] billjobs:
[MENTION=4741244]coolek33[/MENTION] Yes that is it, but problem is, I had flashed these builds long time ago and could not install any other apps in the other User Profiles. The Admin/main Profile was fine but the add-on profiles would install Yahoo Mail etc. from Playstore but the app would not show up in the app drawer or main screen! Weird problem! So I had to go to stock since only there this problem wasn't showing up.

Could You please try setting up an account and install an app to see if it opens? Would be great.

Thanks.

[Surprisingly I had posted a reply yday but it didn't show up!! thats crazy!]
[Nexus 7 Original Development] coolek33:
Well I don't have Grouper ATM to check it but I've checked it on Flo (should be the same). It seems to be working fine. Apps from playstore are in drawer and they're working. I'll check it on Grouper when I have opportunity.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] pmauzao:
I'm on last stable and the one thing i miss in this ROM is the "kill app back button", is there a way to enable this?

Thks
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Natakranta:
Settings / Navigation / Navigation bar / Buttons > long press back set kill app.

done :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] coolek33:
Like my homie ;) said. You can add it to slimpie to.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] wilzard:
IDK if I had a bad flash, the md5 checked out.

But my tablet has been turning off randomly at any percentage. It's happened when I was in the middle of using it, and it has happened when it has screen timed out and went to sleep and then I am unable to wake it.

Sometimes it decides to bootloop on the SlimKat splash and go no further.

When I can get it to boot back up my data will be corrupted. I've had to reset all my preferred system settings, all my icons (but strangely not my wallpaper) on homescreens. For example, greenify will no longer have the pro key or experimental features enabled. My games and files will be corrupted or just gone.

I have tried dirty and clean flashing. Full wipes, system and data... still keeps happening.

I have tried lean kernel, m-kernel a67, a68, and a69 with the recommended settings.

and

Sometimes the battery percent jumps up without any charging.

I've opened the tablet, cleaned the contacts with alcohol and i've unplugged the battery cable and let it sit overnight still keeps happening.

It's hopefully not a soon to be dead battery.

Normally I would think it is a bad battery, these 2 things are probably related but this wasn't happening when I was using another ROM. It didn't happen when I flashed back to the other ROM and let my kids use it for 2 charging cycles. I honestly am at a loss right now.

Curious if anyone else has experienced this on this ROM or any other? I love the snappiness of this ROM and would hate to leave it.

((My guess is that the battery is dying a slow, and agonizing for me, death.))

Just trying to see if this is common or ???

Offical SlimKat 4.4.4??

wow...all other ROMs already moved up to 4.4.4, but this one....maybe I should not pick SlimKat ROM for my Nexus 7...:confused:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Natakranta:
Wow... Did you check the weekly download section for grouper ?

4.4.4 weekly 5.10 is there since 23rd June.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] peddarson:
How come that the latest release is a weekly one for the grouper?

The website says that there are no testers!?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jazzespresso:
I know there's weekly, as you mentioned above, it is there since 23rd June, what I don't get that is why it is not moved up to Stable section yet.

Top of it, I am keep getting Android System Update 4.4.4, which is weird since this is custom SlimKat ROM, not Stock ROM...it is quite annoying...when I kill Android System Update 4.4.4 update, my play store service crashes badly...and couple days later it again "Android System Update" pops up...

ohh well, maybe it is about time to move up to different custom ROM!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tuniel:
6.0 is out too

from slim's site:

"Ok we've gotten to a point where we think we are stable, at least for most devices :D"
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jazzespresso:
don't take me wrong, I love SlimKat, it is probably one of the best ROM out there...I have Galaxy Tab 2 7, which is also on SlimKat..obviously, I am tend to use "stable" ones, as it makes me feel kind of secure knowing it is stable and bug free, and of course, nothing wrong with weeklies too :D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] chikimonke:
Grouper got the same 6.0 build that all the other devices got, but since they had no testers for it, they didn't want to call it "Stable" (See the note at the bottom of this post). The definition of a Slim weekly is a build that is automatically produced on their build server once a week with the latest commits, no testing done so some things MIGHT be broken. A Slim Stable release is one in which a code freeze happened and the build was tested by a group of predefined testers (of which I am one) and only once it is deemed stable by the testers is it released as a Stable build. Slim ROMs are nothing if not stable, even personal builds with cherry picked open features are pretty rock solid most of the time. So do not fret, download the 6.0 "Weekly" for Grouper and continue to enjoy the greatness that is Slim. :D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jazzespresso:
so this one " Slim-grouper-4.4.4.build.6-WEEKLY-5289 " pretty good stable no bugs? hey my wife uses the tablet, if some bugs there, she will kill me :angel:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] chikimonke:
The N5 6.0 release is rock solid, so I'd say with 98% certainty that the Grouper one is too. However, since it hasn't been fully vetted, there's always the chance there's a bug for this specific device. There's not a whole lot of development done for the Grouper these days, so it's basically just adding in all the stuff from 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 as well as any of the new features that have been introduced since the 5.0 stable. All those features have been fully tested and work great. So feel confident in your upgrade.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] hotdog125:
The security tab in settings isn't opening in build 6.

EDIT - Problem gone after reboot.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Treboeth:
Just updated to 4.4.4 Slimkat is so stable forgot to check for updates was still on 4.4.2[emoji33]
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jonny68:
on the slim ota in settings it says I'm up to date but I've checked and can see another weekly this time 4.4.4,any reason I didn't get a notification, not to worry I'm downloading now, cheers
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Treboeth:
Same with me , my guess is the change up to 4.4.4.

Done now and flying[emoji2]
[Nexus 7 Original Development] skidaway:
It only shows stable updates. Regular weeklies don't show up in slimota.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] limaunion:
Any idea when this 'weekly update' will be labeled as stable in order to show up in slimota? I've just switched a week ago from smoothrom and don't know about this. I'm very satisfied how stable it is and how well it runs. Congrats.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] skidaway:
I've been using Slim on my N4 for many months now. The weekly builds are just as stable as the "stable" releases. The official stable releases usually come every 1.5 to 2 months, but you shouldn't run into any major bugs flashing the weekly builds, the Slim team is pretty good at fixing any major bugs before they release a build.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jazzespresso:
About Slim-grouper-4.4.4.build.6-WEEKLY-5289;

That's what I am planing, but before I do that I have a few questions:

do you guys think it would be OK if I do dirty flash - Slim-grouper-4.4.4.build.6-WEEKLY-5289, top of my current Slim-grouper-4.4.2.build.5-OFFICIAL-4072.

What about gapps.4.4.4.build.6-112 one? after I get Slim-grouper-4.4.4.build.6-WEEKLY-5289 going, just flash new gapps.4.4.4.build.6-112?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] coolek33:
Backup. Wipe cache, dalvick and system flash Slim 6 and those gapps and boot. If you face some issues clean flash before reporting.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] peddarson:
Actually this is a stable release. Just not for the n7 (2012) because they say on the website that there are no testers anymore for the n7...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] RknDroidFreak:
I hoped there would be a fix for security setting bug by now. Someone mentioned it earlier. Guess, I have to wait till next nightly.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] kufikugel:
the guy who reported it solved it with a reboot.

whatever we do not have on any tablets this problem.....so we need a logcat otherwise we cannot fix it.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] RknDroidFreak:
I'm back to slimkat 6 and reboot indeed fixes the problem. I feel stupid now. Thanks anyway kufi!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] kufikugel:
Did you restore settings in tibu? The log looks like this is the case. You have a boolean in you shared preferences and not a string. This only can happen usually when something was restored there. Especially if it is restored from cm due that they use other then we do a Boolean
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Snoshrk:
I did restore settings at least once... But I was pretty sure that on the last restore it was only user apps.

I kinda figured that might have been the problem.

I'll give it another try...

Thanks

[Nexus 7 Original Development] NaveenKD:
Where is 6.2 weekly for our Note? Or this the death of slimrom development for GT-N7000?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Treboeth:
Probably best to ask on the correct forum￼

Slimroms are alive and well.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] 0355:
I can confirm the bug myself. Waiting some time after a reboot the security panel in settings app is not accessible (settings app hangs indefinitely). Immediately after the reboot and for an unspecified amount of time the panel is accessible and fully working.

This is the one and only bug in the otherwise perfect rom for me.

Latest weekly 6.2.

Yes I used tibu but only for restoring apps and their data.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Jubakuba:
Guys. Try it without restoring apps at least until you can verify that the issue isn't there before you do so.

We haven't touched the settings that are apparently causing you issues since January 14th...

If the issue is there without restoration, okay, but I've already spent enough time trying to reproduce it myself...and searching for possible commits that may have caused it. This is a two-way street and we need you to help us with this one since we can't reproduce it.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tuniel:
Anyone having issues with latest weekly build and Facebook app? The parts where the statuses should be are black and the text is grey, so no way to read. I tried to turn off TRDS, but no luck. Was OK on weekly 6...

has any one been able to get cast screen to work with their chromecast? I have the exact same setup on my 2013 nexus 7 and it cast screen perfect but og nexus 7 cast screen shows no devices available. I'm just curious if its a feature we wont be able to use or if something is up. I'm on current weekly build with no special kernel or mods.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tuniel:
I can thru chromecast and ezcast, but no native screen cast yet. My GE S4 can, though. I guess it'll be in the next weekly ?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Frenetyc:
Any news on theme chooser? Thank you! ^_^
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tuniel:
Hi there again, as I mentioned last week I have an issue with Facebook starting from the previous weekly (6.2).

Basically I can't read any status update. Tried clearing data, uninstalling FB, reboot are reinstall, but no dice.

Anyone can shed some light on this?

Is there another place to report bugs?

Thsnks
[Nexus 7 Original Development] DjCalvin:
I have the exact same problem. Both slimkat weeklys and Liquid Smooth last 2 builds.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ChavitoArg:
Where do i activate 'heads up' ? Thanks in advance
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tuniel:
The settings are under interface/notification & QS drawer.

For the actual heads up you need to select the apps individually in settings/app (same location you use to clear cache and data for an app or to uninstall it)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jugg1es:
You can also long click any notification and enable heads up from the small drop down

[Nexus 7 Original Development] jazzespresso:
they don't even release stable 4.4.4, talking about theme chooser...as it seems to me, development of Nexus 7 (2012) stopped...

And for others, who will comment on my above statement, stop telling us that there's weekly release (Slim-grouper-4.4.4.build.6.4-WEEKLY-5656), we know how to check weekly release..

considering first 4.4.4 weekly release on 06-23-2014 (almost a month ago), it has not made to stable release yet tells me no one cares about Nexus 7 (2012) anymore...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] kufikugel:
??? The only reason why it did not get a stable release was that we did not have testers for it. Simply as that .... And the two team members which still have this device were on vacation.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pielvrx:
Man i appreciate when u guys do stuff period, i just wonder if some of these peeps get it that u guys are doing it for free on ur own time. Anyways thanks
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jazzespresso:
It is OK...I moved to PURITY ROM
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Treboeth:

Good luck with purity haha
[Nexus 7 Original Development] arq7203:
Same problem here.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rockknee:
So can we expect stable releases in future or is it now just about weekly releases?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] coolek33:
What's so scary about flashing weeklies? They're my daily drivers on all of my devices.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jugg1es:
The weekly slim releases are as stable as the stable builds, being short of testers doesn't mean it hasn't been tested it just means that the testing pool is so small that the amount of bugs might not get spotted before release. Weeklies have been my daily drivers since i installed slim on both devices, flash the rom post the logs and see stable releases more often

“Our great democracies still tend to think that a stupid man is more likely to be honest than a clever man.”*―*Bertrand Russell
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rockknee:
No, I'm not scared of flashing weeklies, I've been using them for a while. That was just a question...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] kevria:
Does anybody know what the bed with the moon icon means? Ive never seen that one before.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] :
It's for the quite hours. The icon is new since the last weekly :D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jugg1es:
I think it's for the quiet hours, when they become active.

“Our great democracies still tend to think that a stupid man is more likely to be honest than a clever man.”*―*Bertrand Russell
[Nexus 7 Original Development] kevria:
Weird because quiethours arent supposed to start until 11PM and it was only 9PM. I will double check my settings.

Edit:

Yes it was quite hours. I had it set to always be on on that device for some reason.

A question for anybody who has recently clean flashed the lastest Slim weekly and slim gapps normal pack... how much space do you have left in your system partition?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] chikimonke:
Hello fellow Slim users. Have you been enjoying the latest Slim release? How about that awesome Slim Launcher? Well the hard working dev behind Slim Launcher, [MENTION=4527723]gmillz[/MENTION] , is currently phoneless. He's got terrible bad luck and very limited funds to purchase a new phone with. So if you've been thinking about donating to Slim, now would be a great time to throw a few bucks Griff's way. Every little bit helps. Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] raddison:
First of all great ROM, thanks! Started using on my N7 2012 in May '14 (4.4.2 build 5). Donation on its way!

Sorry I searched but didn't find an answer to this:

When I installed in May I used the AIO Aroma gapps. Now in your downloads section I only see mini, normal, and full. Is there no longer an aroma version? I like to pick and choose! :)

Thanks!

Check out PA GApps (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942). Lots of options and flexibility. They work great on any custom ROM with any device. In addition, [MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION] is a superb maintainer; lots of help and very frequent updates.

Just flashed this and its wonderful. Everything's awesome. Aside from the known issues. Hopefully navigation bar customization comes in the following builds. I don't think my n7 has been this smooth in awhile
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Moonshield:
Hey,

Installed it yesterday, and up until no it seems to spring new life to my aging N7 (the life that the 4.3 update sucked out of it...!)

One relatively irritating bug though- every account that I tried to add caused a soft reboot. After the system booted up again the account was added successfully, as if the soft reboot was a part of the account addition :confused:

Other then that it looks promising. for now I'm keeping it as my N7 daily driver :good:

Looking forward to the next updates :D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dirtygoldfish:
You should try and reproduce it and get the devs a log. Public alpha builds are for bug squashing, so I'm sure it would be appreciated.

Is CWM 6.0.3.6 touch the latest? I was on Slim-grouper-4.3.build.2-OFFICIAL-1333. I tried flashing after wipe data / factory reset..wipe cache...wipe dalvik cache...format system. I got the error 7. Am I missing something here?

There's a 6.0.4.3 (and a 6.0.4.4 nightly, but that's not official I believe).
