OK now guys with the DPI questions. There has been ALOT of talk in this thread for DPI. What I always do when I first start with trying out a new ROM first and foremost I read the op from start to finish to include clicking all links in the op. Really just doing that alone will answer about 90% of your questions. Look at what version of android it's on, cm or aosp based, what feature are in it etc. This will tell right from the start what you can expect from the ROM performance and features wise. Then I have my tapatalk set up to show 50 posts per page. So I read at least the last 2 pages so I get a really good idea of what the current issues are with the ROM and recent features. THEN, after I do that, if I haven't seen anything related to my issue, I search. DPI has been talked about a ton in the thread along with many, many options for changing and also what the stock DPI is. If you're just now coming to Slim, then welcome. :) But also please do as I suggested above for the sake of the dev's and the community and the furthering of the ROM. Thanks everybody. :)

Question : I have been running this for the first time today and noticed that the switching between H+ to LTE takes a lot more time than AOSP based ROMs . Now this is not one location but everywhere that I have been today. Is this something ROm related ? bTw I am running this on Elementalx kernel

i notice a bug i think.sometimes,screen goes black when im on call..so ,when i take the phone away of my ears,it remains black
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
I get the same too, something goofy with proximity I think. Sometimes next to my cheek my screen will go on and off. Then sometimes when I take the phone away from my cheek to hangup, the screen stays black too.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen!

After once again clicking on Interface when my destination was supposed to be Navigation, it occurred to me that this isn't me -- it is the settings that are unsorted.

Why not unite Interface and Navigation under one heading, with the following subcategories:

Interface

- Navigation bar

- Global menu

- Notifications

- QS-Drawer

- Statusbar

-> Battery icon (subcategory under Statusbar)

Thoughts? Am I overshooting?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jimlarck:
It was originally this way, it was changed so that Slimbean looks more "stock" and not just a mixup of random features added because the developers could.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] micr0g:
Hello there and thanks for this awesome ROM.

I don't see the "kill background" apps button and i think it isn't a feature of this rom.

Is there a way so i can add it?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Yeah there's an xposed module. It's either gravity box or xblast, don't remember which. :) I found using either one though they acted kind of funky with SlimKat...introduced stutters and such. I think probably because Slim has enough code changes that those modules don't quite work like they're supposed to. Both those modules are pretty much meant for basic aosp and not so much for more specialized ROMs like Slim. So, you can try them, but I'd make a nand first. :)

from my N5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bkai:
One could say the same about TRDS; that being strictly interface related. My own preference would be just to have SlimCenter in Settings and everything Slim related handled from a side slide out menu from there.

But again that's just my preference. So long as the functionality is there I don't really care. Once I adjust a setting to my liking I rarely visit it again anyway.

At some point it's good to have features broken down into categories, Slim just decided to make that point the root of Settings.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] micr0g:
Thanks for the reply,but i'm using ART:(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Ah OK. :) Think the team had said that clearing all recent apps is actually detrimental to the overall functioning of our phones. They had looked into it but will not be adding it into the ROM. I'm sure there's other ways to get it, but xposed was the only way I know of.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Das IceDice:
Does SlimKat kernel support color profiles? (To use with Display Control from Franco or N5 gamma app from faux)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 0rigin:
Why not try and report back? If not, you could still flash faux or franco...

Also, go with Franco's app, it's way more user friendly...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
We had it this way before. However it became very "chaotic" because we had so many features.

Therefore we decided to integrate the features as much as possible into the normal settings.

And the ones which don't fit into the normal settings go into the categories navigation and interface.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Das IceDice:
Yes, I probably will try when next weekly build arrives. If it does not have support I hope devs will add it soon ;)

Now I'm usin faux kernel with franco's color app, and true it's (franco's) superior compared to faux.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AvRS:
It does have support and has done for a while now.

I have been looking for theme engine, but did not find it yet, still there or is not merged yet? Thanks

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AndrasLOHF:
Do you have touch and lockscreen sounds enabled? If so I've found that the wakelock time is not keeping your phone awake while the screen is off as it is counting wakelock time while the screen is on. As a test you can go into Better Battery Stats and look at the wakelock time for Audio Mix, turn the screen off for a few minutes, then turn it on a check again. You should see that the timer has only counted a few extra seconds for the time it took for the screen to turn off, and to turn back on and refresh the stats instead of the time the screen was off.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shawnaye:
I forgot when weeklies are supposed to be built. Haha.

Been holding off flashing kernels because I wanna start completely from scratch.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Weekly is a really loose term when it comes to Slim. :) Been since the 13th though, so I'd say tomorrow. Think it's more at a minimum, once a week.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AndrasLOHF:
They've been pretty consistent putting out an update every Sunday since going to a weekly release. Every now and again we'll get a something in between whether it's a bug fix or great dev generosity. =)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dark_ente:
I also think that it's better to put them in one place, so when there's a new feature it's easy to find.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
Aye that would be a benefit of this.

However the current way looks a bit more professional and will stay.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] enzomtrx:
Used slimkat on my HTC one s, just got a nexus 5 and am stoked about using slimkat again! Runs great, not one complaint for my daily use. Thanks dev.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
Is there a way in the Slim Center menu to display them all together, as well as having them integrated? Beginner mode maybe? From a clean flash, all Slimified settings are shown in this menu, then when upgrading, it's just the settings that are new or have received an update.

Another thought, similar idea, but have a Slim logo next to all the menus and settings that contain a Slim option and if there is a feature that is new in that menu, the logo changes color for the first boot (or 3?)

Not sure how easy/hard this would be, but would be really cool. Both ideas would work as an active changelog of sorts.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TJKV:
Or just read changelog :p

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
I'm aware people can and should read the changelog, but sometimes it's not clear where to find that new setting that you read about. Having some way of highlighting new changes would be a nice/cool feature.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TJKV:
Sounds like the 'Highlight newly installed programs' feature on older windows (ones with start menu) :p

But also sounds a bit useless. Imagine if you clean flash and you get the full 'menu' or whatever you call it... Also the devs do spend time to decide where to best place the functions and I've never had a problem of them being places in unintuitive places and me not finding them or something.

Only exception I can think of was when lockscreen setting got merged with the aosp lockscreen settings under security. Even that was actually a move to make it MORE intuitive and the problem was only that we were used to it being separate/unintuitive.

Leave the rom alone, put a tree diagram on the slim site showing all options, update that as needed.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] LorD ClockaN:
you go to this link:

https://gerrit.slimroms.net/#/q/status:merged,n,z

it's merged section of slim's source

than click on some package you are interested for example packages_apps_Settings

than you are redirected here:

https://gerrit.slimroms.net/#/q/status:merged+project:SlimRoms/packages_apps_Settings,n,z

than chose any feature that has been added, for example Glow Torch:

https://gerrit.slimroms.net/#/c/2116/

than you see which file has been updated with this patch: 3 in total

and you can clearly see that the lockscreen:interface package has been updated and that is the place where option has been added
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
Aye that will come again.

However I have a bit of a vision for this and haven't found a nice solution yet.

It should show you the feature map and when you click on it should open a short description.

In addition it would be nice if the descriptions could be browsed like some sort of wiki.

And everything should be easy updateable :)

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shr33kant:
Dont kill all your apps bro, it's bad for your phone :P
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AvRS:
Sw2w no as it's not power efficient on the N5 at the mo and won't likely make it into Slim unless they can re-do it themselves to make it fit with the ROM and goal of efficiency. As for gamma yes as said on the previous page, search is your friend or at least reading a few pages ;)

Can you elaborate how to do that?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ChazzMatt:
Your opinion. Clearing all recents can save battery life, depending on the app cleared. It's not a blunt process killer.

Google kept the ability to clear recents in KitKat and specifically put it on this Nexus 5 first.

If people want to clear their recent apps, it's their phone. Has nothing to do with RAM, so don't go there.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] journeyman73:
Sorry for the OT but..

I was seriously trying to stay away from ART because I use Xposed but I decided to check it out to see how much of a difference ART really made. I'm totally blown away with the speed, fluidity and responsiveness compared to the dalvik patches.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shr33kant:
So why not just clear the app that you feel like you need clearing? Wanting the 'clear all' button for clearing a 'depending app' to save battery is absolutely ridiculous.

"Google kept the ability to clear recents in KitKat and specifically put it on this Nexus 5 first."???

You act as if the Slim Team have completely removed the ability for you to swipe your thumb across your screen.

"If people want to clear their recent apps, it's their phone."

If the Slim team don't want to add a button that wasn't there in the first place it's their ROM...FYI clearing that app from the recents just means that when you load it again it's using precious CPU cycles of your battery life to load it again if you do open it later.

If there's an app that's molesting your battery life so much that it requires you to unload it from the memory every time you leave it; then I think you need to consider using an alternative app.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jubakuba:
OK. While you're pretending to know things that you obviously don't.

I'll correct you.

Again.

No. That isn't how android works. Google doesn't "put it in the _____ first."

Every device builds from the same exact source. There ere overlays and device specific things that can be changed...

But nothing is "put on a device first for reasons."

Also...what the hell are you talking about? Recents have been here long before the nexus five. And google hasn't added a clear button...so...you're looking at literally the exact reverse logic to what you're pretending is true.

Google has had plenty of time to change the fact that it doesn't "clear all" for people who don't understand how android works.

They haven't.

Also. We've said 1000 times to you. And it isn't going to change. No. Clear. All. Button. In. Recents.

If you're supposedly so knowledgeable...

The commits have been uploaded by a non-team-member to add the button.

Build it youself.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] habitformer:
Thanks.for.the.explanation. I needed a laugh while I get my taxes done.

In all seriousness doesn't this come down to personal preference? Since the reality is we assume the possible risk of something detrimental happening to our device by flashing or clearing "all",just on different levels.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TJKV:
You know what is a surgical scalpel then? Configuring longpress back to kill an app for example. Do that and you can happily stab away at any app you deem offending with the sharp object rather than massacre loads of innocent bystander apps too in the process of clearing all.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] genaro12543:
Slim is always a great rom
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jubakuba:
Here's the discussion that goes on internally with Rom teams about this button...

I've been in on multiple versions, not just Slims.

"Should we add the recent kill all to make them stop crying about it again?"

"Why? It's useless."

"Because they'll cry about it."

"Maybe we should keep it this time..."

"Ugh...why!?"

Etc.

On and on.

The only reason it's included (generally) is because someone came up with the idea...

And everyone kanged it...

And now some people insist they "need it" because of...reasons.

Exhibit A:

I don't want those apps running when they don't need to be, that wastes battery ehmehergeherd.

Answer A:

No. It doesn't. Never. Not ever. Will "clearing all" your recents be better for your phone's battery...performance...or any other aspect of the device.

An app cleared from recents isn't the same as an app that's been KILLED. I.E. if you go into the app manager and select "Kill app" and the little warning comes up and tells you "Hey, this could make this app stop working. It might be running something it needs."

When you clear an app from recents...it still has every right to run those things that it has decided it needs...and will continue to do so.

This. Is. How. Recents. Work.

Oh, I opened gmail earlier. Tap recents.

Oh gee wilickers. I'm back in Gmail.

It's nothing more to the user...never will be...and never should be.

This Android 1.0 based OMG I HAVE TO KILL THE THINGZ!!!!!! Trend needs to die. Seriously. Kill it.

Captain causes-drama likes to twist his words in 20930948 different ways every couple days to see if he'll get ONE...just ONE person to agree with him...and never does.

This time he attempted to pretend to knows how it works.

Yes, you're right...it's not a task killer...so...kinda right...and yet wrong...

Why remove them then?

Oh. Because it's better for your battery for some apps. Right. Brilliant.

REMOVE THAT APP. Simple. (Either way, you're probably also wrong about that app).

Exhibit B:

I just like the recents screen to be clear because it looks better.

Exhibit B:

Well. Since you're obviously not using the recents screen as an area to actually use...but something you want to look pretty when you go to admire it for fun...

Remove the button from your navbar. It's that simple. Put last-app there or something. A picture of your girlfriend. An app that opens directly to a random cat picture from the internet. That will do you just as much good as having a clear (but omg pretty) recents screen.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Phazmos:
Y'all are going to hate this, but I actually found a use for clear recent button.

Someone was saying there is some lag when bringing up recents. I tested and noticed there is a slight, like maybe 200ms. Then I emptied everything in recent - no more "lag". Animations are still smooth as can be, but that slight delay was gone.

Don't shoot the messenger!

[MENTION=3087740]Jubakuba[/MENTION]

What do you think of an option to 'anchor' the soft keys to one side of the device, like the side with the notification led? Or instead an option to display it on the led side when the device is held at 270 or reverse landscape so that it can be held and operated by the left hand?

Basically an option for lefties using it in landscape... It should probably be better thought out than what I suggested above though.
