What's the highest nexus that works with a slimrom? I can upgrade next month and I love my nexus and can get a nexus 5 or galaxy S4 for free for renewing my contract ..if I can't put a slimrom on it I don't want it..

I installed this ROM a few hours before the newest build (4.0) was released. :crying: I upgraded soon after. Gotta say, very good rom! I'm getting better battery life than I was on CyanogenMod 10.2.1, way better on RAM usage than on Jellybean, no graphical glitches in the latest build, stable data and gps, and excellent "real dark slim" feature.

Only one or two small issues:

DPI changer is not built into the ROM yet. (I actually like the default slim DPI settings, except for the size of the homescreen icons, which are too small for me. Leading me to issue # 2)

The default launcher, Nova, does not allow you to change icon size unless you have the Pro Version. (IMO, you shouldn't have to purchase the pro version at $4 just to change icon sizes. Maybe we can get this feature built into slimkat or default to another launcher which has this feature unlocked. Again, I love the DPI settings, but the homescreen icons are just so tiny to tap on.:(

I would gladly test out builds for this team, if needed. Where can I sign up?

Thank you and the team for your collaborative efforts on SlimKat!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexusbandit:
I downloaded and installed apex launcher..its got most all of the nova launchers setting in the pro version for free and uses a lot less ram..you can change the DPI settings a few different ways..its actually pretty easy..slimkat uses 280 DPI where the toroplus uses 320..you can actually edit the build prop file with root explorer or I hear there is an app that you can use to change it..I just edited the build prop and rebooted and the DPI was fixed..icons were nice and normal sized again..

We did a few tests a while back and found that Nova performed the best over all our devices.

We have currently enough testers.

However I'll write here in the thread if we need more.

First of all I'm loving this ROM however I'm having a problem with data connectivity. I'm in an LTE area so I shouldn't have a problem connecting to 4G. When I do turn on LTE the signal bars just stay orange. Is anyone else having the same problem? Or can anyone help? Thanks.

By the way, is there a way to add the camera in the tile? I miss that function on CM

It seems stuck on 3G for me. I tried changing to LTE and Global, but the setting stayed stuck on 3G.

Also when I turn off Wifi and let it connect to 3G, the icon in the quick toggles turns orange. It is still white in the status bar.

The other strange thing with the quick toggles in the status bar is that the touch and hold and tap are switched from 4.3. Touch and hold toggles, and tap goes into settings for the selected toggle.

Maybe try a real clean install and as well use latest CWM

yup as always a big thanks :)

[MENTION=291743]reboot[/MENTION]s...as stated in the OP this is currently a tuna problem due of the open gles 2.0 changes in 4.4 which are triggering some bugs in our TI drivers. This mainly happens then when application are doing work which are using open gles.

A bit help to get around this reboots is to go into developer options and turn off background activities. Other then that we need now to find a way to hack around this probem to get it working.

It is already a wonder that 4.4 at all works on tuna devices and google dropped any support for tuna. So we are now completly on our own without updated driver/binaries for gpu

ah and someone asked if we use the new 4.3 blobs....half and half...we use since longer now 4.3 blobs from maguro. The ril blobs we did not update till now though...will come for sure. The gpu problem just has at the moment more priority

beside that guys do not forget it is an alpha....4.4 is starting from scratch with a lot lot new stuff from google on an unsupported device. It is an preview...not all will work. But we need to get it working with the help of the community. One alone cannot solve that all and get bugreports etc etc ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MizzouBrent:
Thanks for the response. You guys are doing great work already, especially considering no official support and it's only a week in.

I'm not really having any data issues on mine at all..my area has been fully upgraded by sprint though..I did a complete wipe and format and installed the newest stable and I've had no problems at all..I now have two of these phones with this ROM done the same way without any problems at all..I did reflash the gjo4 radio on one phone and upgraded the prl and profile which took care of signal issues with that phone..if you came from cm or a cm based ROM I would recommend a full wipe and reformat to clear any left over settings from the previous ROMs..it works well for me and has fixed several strange bugs..

Sorry about that I didn't even think about that..I've only had that happen once out of a few hundred phones I've flashed and turning it on under mobile networks usually takes care of it on everything I've flashed..but I did have one that I had to do it like you did..glad you got it going..I hope you enjoy slimkat as much as I do

.I have two phones in my house on it now.this is the only KitKat for toroplus I've found that works perfect on art for me with the stock kernel..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cr08:
One odd thing I noticed last night and not sure if it is Slimkat or not but it never occured before the recent stable build. Up to this point I have just left it on 3G only. Went to the movies last night and the theater is in a known working 4G area. Coming out I swapped to 4G and while sitting in the settings panel with no other apps open it doesn't even pull a 4G signal, stuck on 1x. UI starts to slow real bad and eventually the notification bar and nav buttons disappear and come back as if it was a heavy memory issue and the launcher got killed and relaunched. I had to quickly swap back to 3G and reboot to get back to sanity. This also happened a day or two ago under the same circumstances at home. The only other change I made is switching to the r45 fancy kernel at full stock settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rootbeer001:
are there any issues with slimkat 442 and titanium backup? i seem to recall there were some issues with previous releases of slim that had issues with restoring backups from titanium.

i am looking forward to this. i have been on slim 422 for a long time. i have been dealing with mms issues (not being able to send or receive consistently) and picking up my lte signal. i hope 442 will help with these.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bloopblah:
So after switching between three ROMS (CM10.2.1, [4.4.2] SlimKat, and [4.4.2] Liquid Smooth), to figure what could be the problem that was causing the abnormal data connections and switching. I reset it by dialing in this code: ##72786## in the dialer and putting in the MSL afterwards and just let it activate it on its own. After the automatic activation and updating PRL & Profile ended the data began working normally. I am sticking with CM10.2.1 for now because I do not want to deal with loss of data. But I will try the reset method with a KitKat ROM to see if it will fix the data issue.. I hope this helps out anyone who is having similar problem. :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nullfeed:
Hello again, I have noticed a few issues with the stock SMS app that are worth noting.

The 'split sms' and 'multi-part sms' options in the settings of the stock SMS app are not working because the app does not allow more than 160 characters to be typed. This is on slimkat (4.4.2 build.4-official-3681). If I recall correctly, the split option did work on the previous release. I realize that SMS is limited to 160 characters -- what I am referring to is being able to type more than 160 characters in the text box before being sent, and then splitting them into multiple messages. This feature has been standard for many phones now.

From what I have read, it seems that the slimkat SMS app is slightly modified. Is this true?

Should I try replacing the app with one from a different rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexusbandit:
I haven't had any data problems at all with slimkat..its been a daily driver since before its release..I even run it on art and its been a really great ROM..its on two of my phones

My daily driver was slimbean for a while. Deep sleep and CPU tweaks were a big issue for me, even with multiple kernels. Liquid Smooth KK with the all powerful Vanir kernel has been hands down the best thing to happen to my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayshocka:
Flashed the latest build. All seem good! data is switching flawlessly...

I look back and Slim was the first Rom I flashed on my GNEX and I have probably used slim more than any other rom...

seems fitting that i just leave this slim build on my phone for my last 7 days as a gnex owner.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quattros:
unfortunately, this ROM suffers from the dreaded data switching issue

In fact, it's data switching behavior is worse than any other 4.3+ ROM I've tried for toroplus.

At least when the other ROMs didn't have a data connection, the status bar correctly displayed the lack of mobile data.

On Slimkat, the status bar indicates that there is a 3g connection when there is no data connection.

It may work fine in your area, but once you travel to an area that has the right network topology, you will be out of luck. :(

In fact, the most reliable trick for getting your data connection back (make a phone call and then hang up) doesn't work on this rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexusbandit:
This is the only kitkat I haven't had this problem with..when I don't have data it doesn't show that I do..I did a full wipe and reformat for my install and I run a custom prl file..if you read this entire thread you'll notice your the first to mention this problem with slimkat..you will find this issue mentioned in nearly all toroplus kitkat toroplus Roms though

Tips or info for a new SlimKat flasher?

Hi,

I've been fighting with data and stability issues with CM11 for months, and I'm ready to give up. It sound like SlimKat might be the only toroplus KitKat ROM without data issues, so I'm about ready to dive in. I've read the last 2 month of posts in this thread, but not all 6 months of post, which always makes me a little nervous. So I ask you...

Anything I need to know before flashing SlimKat? Is everything working (4G & 3G data, SMS/MMS, GPS, bluetooth, wifi, camera, etc)? Anything else a SlimKat noob would need to know?

(Sorry for being "that guy". And thanks in advance.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
The two things I can say are:

We can't promise that data is working and read the FAQ.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jean15paul:
Ok, I have a couple of Slim-noob questions...

1) I like The Real Dark Slim concept. When I turn it on the ROM changes to the dark "theme" (I know it's not actually a theme), but the most of the GAPPS don't. They still look normal. The Play Store and the Calendar app with the old icon (not the new one from the Play Store) are the only GAPPS that I've come across that recognize TRDS. (I flashed the "Slim_AIO_gapps.4.4.2.build.4.6" zip.) Is this because the others updated from the Play Store? Is there a fix for this?

2) I had purchased and downloaded Deus Ex when I was on CM11 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.squareenix.dxm). Now that I've flashed SlimKat, the Play store tells me that Deus Ex isn't compatible. I assumed it was because of SlimKat's custom dpi (looks like 245), so I modified the build.prop to changed it back to the standard 320, but that didn't fix it. The Play Store still says incompatible. Any idea why? How can I fix it?

3) This might be related to #2. I see on the SlimKat GAPPS page (http://slimroms.net/index.php/262), that it specifies "Play Store (dpi hack)". What exactly is the dpi hack? Is it just related to how the Play Store get displayed with the custom dpi (e.g. 1 vs 2 columns), or does it have anything to do with compatibility?

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
We're working on an updated version atm.

Some of the Gapps proved to be very hard to TRDSify.

Shouldn't be a problem with our Gapps.

We include a modified PlayStore which should work fine with the smaller DPI.

Has someone else here Problems with that game?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jean15paul:
Nevermind on the issue with Deus Ex compatibility. It must be a change on the Play Store side. I flashed back to CM11 with the intention to install it and then backup the APK. But it shows as incompatible with CM11 also. I purchased it with CM11 a few months ago, so I assume the dev changed the compatibility.

Either way, it's definitely not a Slim issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
That's good to know thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jean15paul:
That's a pretty ringing endorsement. I must try this fancy kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexusbandit:
I can agree that fancy kernel is rocking my slimkat..i did a backup before trying this recommendation because slimkat is the only kitkat rom i have been able to run in art mode and the rom stay perfectly stable and run really great right out of the box!

I've been trying this ROM and I've gotta say I expected more speed. Its so slow constantly getting little random freezes and taking 5 seconds to open the app switcher. Also it seems to come preinstalled with a version of Google Play Music that doesn't work. I can't play any of my music. I tried installing from the play store, but it just seems to fail without error
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
And you're surely using our gapps and did a factory reset with wiping /system before flashing it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jean15paul:
I came to this ROM from CM11 which was buggy and had data issues. So I was looking for stability. Front what I've read, many 4.4 ROM have similar issues on the toroplus (and toro). I've only been using SlimKat for a couple of days, but it seems to provide that stability that I was looking for.

I kinda agree with you that's it a little more laggy than I was hoping. I don't know if that specific to this ROM or if it's just because this 2.5-generation old hardware just can't keep up anymore. I just flashed Fancy Kernel today because I read a few reports that is will get rid of the lag. I can report back after I use it for a few days, but so far so good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ExEvolution:
of course, i rarely dirty flash even when switching versions of the same rom, switching roms is a no brainer

I'm using Slim-toroplus-4.4.2.build.4.9-WEEKLY-3948.zip and Slim_AIO_gapps.4.4.2.build.4.6.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Then you shouldn't have compatibly problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ExEvolution:
It sounds like you're implying to me that I didn't format before installing which, I assure you, I did. I formatted both /system and /data through clockworkmod recovery version 6.0.4.3 and then did adb sideload to send and install the slimkat zip to my phone. Forgot to install gapps so I downloaded it through the built in browser, rebooted to recovery and installed the gapps zip

This shows Google Play Music as not being installed through the Play Store, but it obviously is when you go to open the app. If I try to install here. It appears to be installing, but once it "should" be complete, it returns to looking like this.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-ag7o0NLWZoUk5lVGtRbnJyZ2M/edit?usp=sharing

This shows I have some pre-installed version of Google Play Music, which can't be uninstalled. Also if I clear data, the moment I try to play a single song, the app data skyrockets to what is shown in this screenshot

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-ag7o0NLWZoSDJVLVhQSUc1ek0/edit?usp=sharing

This is what I get whenever I try to play any song through Google Play Music on this rom. It stays at 0:00, with a constant loading circle. This time it actually caused my phone to reset right after taking this screenshot

Did you do a checksum on the files after you downloaded them? File corruption is possible.

Try uninstalling google play music through the slim center, which will remove it as a system app, and try installing from the google play store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jean15paul:
Question about the change log. I see it says this

NOTE:

For dirty flashers: Before you flash, you MUST wipe your system manually. Gapps has received major rework, and this way you ensure that nothing old will be left.As usual read the changelog, install instructions and known issues below.

So I can dirty flash stable 5 on top of stable 4, but I need to wipe the system in addition to cache and Dalvik? And I have to reflash GAPPS? I just want to make sure because I'm not used to doing that (wiping system and refreshing GAPPS) when's dirty flashing.

Is this always the case with Slim, or specific to this update?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ExEvolution:
You should really clean flash every time BECAUSE things like this happen. This time they were nice enough to warn people who dirty flash to do it right but you can't always expect it
