That's the md5 as what I flashed. Running great! scrubbadubdubbed (clean flash)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
is there a way to speed up charging time? i had my phone on charger for 8 hrs and it only went up about 60% from where it was when i plugged it in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
I clean flashed the latest beta, and after selecting ART runtime and rebooting, the runtime option still says "dalvik". I could swear my previous build displayed "ART" (to confirm ART)

Minor issues:

SlimCenter > SlimOTA Update says "Cannot read SlimOTA properties"

I can't find the option change "LTE" to "4G" in notification bar
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
SlimOTA won't work because this is unofficial. And LTE is the standard now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Thanks. I cleaned wiped, reflashed, switched to ART and rebooted, and "Select runtime" displays "ART" like it should.

First rule of flashing: If something doesn't work/stick, wipe and reflash :p

Edit: I figured out Xposed framework was the culprit. Xposed is not fully ART compatible, so you have to choose between using Xposed or ART runtime. You can't have both :(

Oh well. The only modules that I used were App Settings and YouTube ad blocker, no big deal.

dialer issue

Using this ROM, does anyone else have an issue where the Dialer adds a "+" to the beginning of all incoming calls (that are not a contact)? I received a call from an 866 number, and Dialer formatted it to +86 67xxxxxx instead of 866xxxxxxx so that when you go to return the call its treated as an international connection despite it not being one? I live in the US and my location services are on, and accurately showing where I am located.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MHatter469:
Tested and USB tethering did not drop data when I made a call. Last week I was tethering at a clients and received a call. Immediately, Windows popped up that it had lost connection. I had to reboot the phone and the computer to get the connection back.

Still does not work with WiFi tethering for me.

Thank you gchild320. I love the ROM.

Someone posted the other day about a battery charging issue. I am encountering one now...

Last night went to bed with low battery, single digits. Charging LED on, circle battery meter spinning... Got up this morning and it was at 56%, 7 hours later. Went to the dentist, then came home and took the day off work. Plugged in the charger about noon, and now at almost 11pm it is 66%.

The display is off and nothing is really running. I mean it dings when there is an email or something, but the phone has not been used all day.

I am using 2 amp charger. I never had any charging issue before 1.9. I did a clean install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Did you try a different cable/charger? It is a longshot, but cables and chargers fail just like anything else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jeremiahEJ54:
Also try removing your battery and then rebooting. I know sometimes mine gets picky, but I do this and its back to normal.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] daedal_arcanum:
This ROM is fantastic. I'm having an issue though: I upgraded from beta 1.6 to beta 1.9 the other day, and now I have no GPS. It was a clean flash after a full format and wipe since the slimROM site recommends a clean install for 1.9. I haven't re-flashed or anything since then. I might try a dirty flash first so I don't have to reinstall and set up all my apps. Any other ideas? I saw something earlier in this thread about restoring a touchwiz ROM and going straight to recovery from a GPS lock and then flashing, but that seems to go against the full-wipe recommendation.

thanks in advance,

--Brandon--
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Did you format /system before flashing? I read losing GPS may be linked to that. Flash a Touchwiz rom, get GPS lock, then flash SlimKat without formatting /system
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
it was me that had the problem with slow charging. i made 2 changes. not sure which one helped more though. i switched outlets and i put phone in airplane mode when i charge it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Does anyone else have proximity sensor issues? When I move phone away from my face, the screen often refuses to turn on, even if I press the home or power buttons. Not a deal breaker, but it is annoying. I do not recall having this issue on beta 1.1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] homephysician:
There was proximity sensor issues on the alpha build but those were resolved on the next build. Try a dirty flash to see if it corrects itself.

I love your work on SlimKat gchild320. But I have one question. Shouldn't this thread be in Original Development since it is a Non-TW? Just wondering.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lukegman:
What other kernels work with this? And any chance of getting how and where to look for the one line of code in the framework2.jar that needs to be changed to framework-2.jar so I can flash the devil 4.4? Or any plans on new ROMs being compatible? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] .shawn.:
Will mj9 radio work on 4.4?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chopt51:
I'm interested in checking this out. Have not had a chance to read everything here. Does anyone have a moment to give a quick review on this ROM. On what's not working and not working in the current build? I think reviews should be added to xda somehow. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
Have you tried it? It should work as people are saying it works on cm and they use the same naming. It's in frameworks/base android.mk though. Fw2 is the standard, not sure why he thinks otherwise.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lukegman:
Yes...I have tried the devil2 kernel for 4.4 with cm11 which has the same kitkat base... the framework it is also named framework2.jar without the dash... The devil kernel works with cm11 but not this ROM...I even tried changing the file name and tried replacing frameworks from cm11 and this ROM looking for the difference because they are both 4.4...not having any luck...just boot loops....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
My guess is that it's a different issue (logcat would tell for sure) but it would be the kernel devs responsibility to change if it is the kernel's fault. No reason roms should adapt to him when they are using the correct naming.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] daedal_arcanum:
I did format /system. If I flash a touchwiz ROM and then restore a SlimKat nandroid without restoring /system, do you suppose that would do the trick? Or should I clean flash and reinstall everything? Thanks,

--Brandon--
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonofevil77:
I had to power off my phone on the charger, let the green battery popup and then power on and the charging time increased. Mine wasn't charging at all.

Sent from my SCH-I605
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] THEbigSWEEN:
If you tried to restore the nandroid without /system that would basically leave you on the TW rom still. Here's what you want to do: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39761558&postcount=702
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] daedal_arcanum:
I've been using mj9 with no issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lukegman:
Well I know gchild made his own kernel so I was looking to see if he could point me in the right direction.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigw34:
Hey guys, im currently running Slim 1.9 and I'm having issues updating dashclock widget to version 1.6 that was just released. When I try to update via Play store, it gives me an error saying "package file was not signed correctly, uninstall the previous copy and try again".

I went into SlimSizer and also ROM Toolbox and tried to delete the system app and it wont delete. Any else having this issue and or have any idea on how to fix it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] homephysician:
Try this. Go into slimsizer and delete dash clock apk. ( make sure slimizer has root permission) then reboot. When rebooted go to market and install dashclock. I just did it. The reboot is key. Hope this helps.

SLIMKATN2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] .shawn.:
Having used 4.4 you can't use something like this to delete the apk. It will auto restore on reboot. You must go in with a root explorer with it mounted system rw and delete it then remount ro. Then reboot and it will go away and you can install the new one. The one that's there is unable to be updated due to it has prob been altered from its original state in some way and it will see this through play store and prevent you from updating. Same goes as I'd you were to use some kinda pirated app. Sure you can install it but you can not update it. And no I'm not endorsing the use of a pirated app. Will prob go and install this rom again tomorrow and put it through the works to pin point what bugs there are and list em out. Plus 4.3 tw is gay if ya ask me lol. Slim and pa 4.4 tho have been amazing options from the get go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] homephysician:
I'm not disputing you, but I did just what I said I did. It deleted it and I was able to install 1.6 from the play store. I'm on the latest slimkat.

SLIMKATN2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
You can't update it because Slim includes their own modified version. Removing it and reinstalling it would be the only way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] homephysician:
Ding ding we have a winner! Just kidding but yes that is what it takes, and it works.

Man I went from 4.3 to 4.4 Beta after wiping system/cache/dalcik and I'm getting a few FCs (basically everything Google)... Everything else seems smooth. I am on ART. Everything else seems fine and quite fast.

I chose the jb modular gapps when installing . which one should I be using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Gotta use kk gapps.

MultiWindow from OmniROM on Slim?

I'm been keeping an eye on this feature, as I would also like to see it. I just found that it has been ported to CM:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/56080/

..and the original OMNI commit: https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/c/1510/

..hope this helps!

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
This isn't ready for use yet with any ROM. Omni still working out the kinks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] travisn000:
I know its not "done", but if you have any hints on how to apply it to a slim git sync for personal use, I would still like to try... I tried this feature out on my i605 with an OMNI nightly from 12/19 that didn't have a working cellular connection, and the feature seemed to be quite stable.

I have never tried compiling a ROM from source; I found the instructions for syncing to the git repo, but I'm not quite sure about the correct way to apply a patch from Omni or CM (..or even which has a higher likelihood for success). I'm guessing I would use the patch command, but not sure what directory in the git sync to start in?

I have a bit of experience building / compiling RPM's in linux.. just never really messed with ROM building for android... any tips are appreciated.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Yeah if you want to build it for personal use that's no big deal, just a big no-no to release something that hadn't been merged by the releasing team. Hit me up on pm or hangouts if you want my 2¢ on starting compiling android and cherry-picking WIPs.

Is it possible to remove the alarm from the quick settings? I like having the alarm icon in the status bar, but having it in quick settings is redundant imo. I looked for a toggle in interface, display, dev options, advanced options, clock app settings, and no luck. I thought I could remove it on earlier builds, but I may be confusing roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] trollishtrucker:
I've used this ROM once or twice. Has the WiFi tether issue ever been resolved?

Tethering

I am not getting tethering anymore after the 12/31 updated.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
Does the notification bar support full transparency? I have tried 100 and 0 and it is the same.

V2.1.

Is there a way to change the overall DPI? I tied ROM toolbox and unless I don't understand what Im doing (possible) the setting won't stick. Everything is too big, I got used to 187 on a different ROM.

Otherwise loving the ROM, its all I ran on my s3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
You need to enable root first for DPI change.

And yes you can make notification bar transparent if your launcher supports it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
That might be it, I was trying the stock launcher and switched back to nova.

I will check root, and maybe reinstall ROM toolbox and clear data. I know root is active

Edit: figured out the notification bar, still unsure on the DPI.

---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 PM ----------

for some reason Rom Toolbox is not gaining root access, and it isn't giving me the option to allow it. I had root access before backing everything up and restoring (tried CM11, but quickly came back)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
Got the DPI changed, set it to 213 and it is perfect for what im used to ( not sure where I got 187 from)

When I used slim on my s3 the Nasioc app did this same thing it is doing here in the screenshot. The bottom where all the buttons are gets cut in half and it doesn't matter what DPI is set.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Go to Settings > Dev Options and make sure Root Access is enabled. To change global DPI, use a root file manager and go to /system and open build.prop as a text file. Change "ro.sf.lcd_density=245" to whatever DPI number you want. Save the new build.prop, then reboot

My bad big Mike, I thought you were talking about slider shortcuts. The option you are talking about is not compatible with dash clock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
Haha o ok, its all good man no worries. What lock screen do you use?

For GPS, I am seeing some people with issues and no issues. I am one that is having issues, no lock at all, came from a 4.1.2 rom, it lock in seconds, came here let it ran for 30 mins and nothing. I flashed back, got a lock, the re flashed this rom again and still same result, no connection. Any thoughts? Eveything was left stock (kernel), second time around all i did was sign in and open maps (kernel)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gammaxgoblin:
How's battery life versus tw?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Breezer23:
Much like International TouchWiz ROMs - No GPS. No other AOSP ROMs have given me GPS issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Not sure why some have issues and some don't. My GPS works instantly. I will look into it for next build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
For battery life today will be a full charge and discharge but will report back. On R3d Touchwiz rom i was getting 24-28 hours off charger and 5-6.6 hours on screen.

I flashed carbon rom after this and instant gps lock. This is the only rom giving me issues. Haven't flashed any other kernel besides stock rom kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
OK enough people saying GPS is an issue that I'll make it a priority next build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SonOfUncleSam:
Root?

My phone is having issues with root privileges... I started Titanium Backup, and it says that it cannot obtain root privileges. When running a root checker, it does the same thing.

I did a clean install (wiping everything in CWM recovery except the external SD), with the full Google Apps. I also download both files again to ensure that one of them wasn't corrupt, but got the same result.

Looks like a really awesome ROM, but I may be waiting until the next build...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HerroMoto:
I really don't think there's anything you can do about gps. It works for me but I'm one of the lucky ones. I notice people have issues only with international tw ROMS and some aosp ROMS. I think that gps is more of a hardware issue buy I really can't prove it. Just from seeing what people are experiencing it was just a guess
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
In settings < dev options < root access should say apps and ADB. This option is turned off sometimes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikelikesbikes:
I am having trouble getting a lock as well. I have never had trouble with GPS on aosp ROMs, only international TW ROMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
Developer options, root access, APS,adb did you activate root this way?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
GPS is fine for me but if you could look into the force closing MMS when trying to send a pic that's the only bug I've found
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] troc240:
Does this ROM include active display?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SonOfUncleSam:
No I did not... I wasn't aware that I had to do that. But I will reflash and retry. Thanks for informing me of this!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
Some aosp ROMs you have to do it manually and some its already done. I learned the hard way too

I installed beta 2.1 and I've lost root access. Enabling it in developer options doesn't seem to have any effect. Any ideas?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
In Phil's recovery you can reapply root that is what I had to do
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Did you guys dirty flash? Just wondering, I got root right away once I enabled it....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] daedal_arcanum:
Yep, I did dirty flash. I didn't see any recommendations against it, but I'll clean flash if I have to to get root back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Didn't realize it would cause any issues
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] travisn000:
Mine was slow to get root after dirty flash, but did eventually kick in. I'm not sure what I did to make it work; I was installing a new root app and wasn't getting the prompt to give it permission upon using it, then poked around the su logs and didn't see any indication that the app had been used; awhile later I opened another root app (I think it was from pre-flashing) got the prompt, and when I tried the first app it also worked. I think I might have rebooted a time or two, so maybe that helped? (I think I installed the gapps zip in between as well)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] donbudafuko:
I had to install the supersu zip to get root I had no root app or nothing wouldn't give me root so I installed zip an got it..I did a clean install as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Joebroni:
I've actually had Root issues on a couple 4.4 ROMs I've flashed over the last couple days. I get everything enabled and it appears to work fine, then I download Titanium and right off the bat it gives an error about not having Root. Solid Explorer won't be allowed to RW the /system files. I know how to activate it on these ROMs and I always select Apps/ADB as well as Grant automatically. Maybe something on that option is causing the problem, I don't know. But I end up downloading SuperSU 75% of the time and updating it there and it's successful after that.

Camera worked perfect for me on this. I ended up having to leave on this 01/06 build because of data issues. I lost data during calls, only getting voice. And then a couple hours later, I got a voicemail but no missed call (I was playing games on the phone at the time). I looked and saw I had 2 bars of LTE, but then it disappeared and over the next hour I never got data back. It was Emergency Calls Only. I burned Devil over to see if that would help and it made no change. I finally popped CM11 on since it was the wife I was needing to talk to, and I've had no data issues since. I dont know what happened. I've been running the ROM since it dropped and did nothing but play games tonight night on my breaks at work.

I always clean install as well. I even go so far as to wipe everything on the phone before ROMs just because I have everything I need on the SD Card. I go on a perfectly clean slate every time I flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
"No wife calls" is a feature, not a bug :p
