[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fujimoh:
I just installed this ROM coming from CM11 (which I only had for about a day...TW before that) and had the same problem as you. I followed the directions in that post and the phone froze on the slimkat boot logo. For me, I pulled the battery and restarted into CWM recovery. I followed the directions you referenced again, but this time I did not install GApps, just flashed the ROM itself. I rebooted and the phone booted up fine. I then rebooted into recovery and installed GApps and the phone restarted fine again. I know you already referenced that you tried installing without GApps, the only thing I can think of that would replicate my situation is if you flashed a CM11 ROM, then did the clean install with multiple wipes, then flashed just Slim Rom (without GApps), then flashed GApps. I don't know if that will work, but it would essentially replicate what worked for me. Oh, and my recovery is Philz Touch

On a different note, is there any way of getting the Google search bar widget that is built into CM11? I'm new to AOSP and 4.4 (coming from Beans TW.....took me quite some time just to figure out how to enable developer mode in this ROM) and I really liked that the search bar could be activated by just saying "OK Google" at any time to the phone, without having to touch the search bar first. Is there a widget that I don't know about, or was the search bar just a feature unique to CM11? Also, what mA are people getting when they plug their phone into an outlet? My charging seems slower than it was on Beans rom, and the charging mA settles around 331 using Battery Monitor Widget to measure. I saw someone posted previously about "hot reboot" and I did a hard reboot with the battery out, but it still seems to be charging slow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheDiabolicaL1:
Word fujimoh thanks. I'll try again later tonight or something.

Slim is a favorite of mine so I'll be working diligently to sort out what I'm doing wrong.

*edit

Installing cm11 first did the trick. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TrojanDroid:
Hm. I can't get this to install - I get an endless boot animation.

I did a clean install from Beans (including the triple wiping strategy posted by .shawn. above) and that didn't help. The only oddity I noticed that I don't recall seeing before is that when I wiped Dalvik I got this error message:

E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]

And I get that right when i touch "wipe dalvik cache" but before I confirm that I want to wipe. i do get a Dalik cache wiped confirmation so meybe it's a red herring.

Any ideas? I'm going to try just installing the ROM and not installing GAPPS to see if that works

** separate installs worked.

I'm still curious about the sd-ext error though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Aryantes:
Ok, so I was also getting the constant pulsating SlimKat logo when I first tried installing it.

These are the things I tried that did NOT work

1. TWRP

2. Wipe / Factory Reset

3. Install Rom

4. Install Gapps.

5. Reboot - failed

Next, I tried the same thing, but without installing the Gapps. still failed.

Then

1. Changed to CWM - Philz touch version.

2. Wipe / Factory Reset

3. Install Rom

4. Install Gapps.

5. Reboot - still hangs.

Then this worked

1. Reboot to CWM

2. Wipe / Factory Reset - Choose prepare to flash new rom or whatever the option is.

3. Install Rom

4. Wipe / Factory Reset - just a regular one, not flash new rom.

5. Boot up successfully.

6. Reboot to recovery

7. Flash Gapps.

8. Reboot - works - see android upgrading apps.

I'm not sure what is necessary and what is not, but maybe this can help someone.

I came from PAC ROM and have never installed CM11.

Data

Hey all--

I can't seem to figure out where I've gone wrong. I've tried just about everything to keep mobile data after flashing and can't seem to fix. I've searched high and low in the CM11 thread and can't find a solution. Flashed on the latest version of CWM and then even tried on the latest TWRP, with no luck. Someone mentioned a fix they saw in the CM11 thread, but I couldn't find it. Anyone found a workaround? I'm jumping from Bean's latest 4.1.2 to this...

But without data, wow, I'm so impressed! I just want to find a fix to start using this!!

EDIT: I can sometimes access the APN and carrier selection menu, I can sometimes get roaming on Verizon, other times it will register but then fail to connect to the Verizon network.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffuser1:
hoping someone can confirm before i install...

if the screen is off and you press the front/home button, does it turn the screen on AND also press the home button (bringing you to the launcher), or just turn the screen on (bringing you to whatever app was open when the screen turned off).

also someone asked on a previous page about data while talking on the phone. can anyone confirm if this works?

thanks

Thanks--I'm def using 2.6.3.1, but I only get Verizon roaming with no data each time I flash this rom for the first five minutes and then it craps out to emergency calls only and then to no service.

No idea why I'm not getting data? Do you think just waiting until a later version of this rom is available?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
No idea why I can only say slim has played differently with kernels and recoveries than other roms. Not trashing slim but I have a suggestion, try phils recovery and go into the setting of the recovery and enable selinux back up before making the back up and it may help your issue.

Thanks for putting this together! Very slick ROM.

I did flash in the latest TWRP without issue. Formatted data, wiped, flashed ROM, then booted without gapps, rebooted to TWRP, flashed gapps, wiped cache & dalvik. Also, I do have the MJ9 modem installed. No issues so far.

Is un-checking the hotword detection in Google now really the fix? Is there something I'm missing? Is it keeping anyone else's device awake?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MHatter469:
I have had that happen, but it is not always. I just tried it and it worked fine.

---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------

The other day I was out and the opposite happened... I had data, but my phone was not getting voice. It never rang but I kept getting missed call alerts from Google Voice. I tried to make a call and it said I was not connected to Verizon network, but 4G data worked fine.

I rushed home and reflashed. That got the voice working with data. I have since had 2 other occasions where it has happened, but in troubleshooting, which I had done on the first occasion and did not work. I put the phone in airplane mode, and when I took it back out it reconnected.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TrojanDroid:
I've been enjoying SlimKat for a week now and it's been pretty excellent except for a few quirks -

wireless hot spot seems to be sketchy (as in, I couldn't connect but sometimes my laptop sucks too so there's that)

speaker volume seems fine for apps like pandora but it's very low for the phone. Significantly lower than when i had various touchwiz roms installed - The phone volume is also very low through the headphone jack.

Is there some kind of app out there for improving output volume?

Stuck in a hotel room and downloading 4.4.2 beta on the very slow "high speed wireless" connection, hopefully that will be even better.

Nice work! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nycthunder:
Thanks again--It still isn't working (tried Philz with two different basebands). I haven't updated my kernel, so that's going to be my next step in seeing if I can get this to work. Will update once I try! I really want to try out this ROM!

tethering not working

I dont think so. I was going to ask if anyone else as having tethering problems. This is really the only thing i have found to be wrong with this. I am rooted and other apps are running fine.

Anyone gotta a idea on the tethering issue?

Awesome rom. I didn't think I would leave Carbon, but I have been on SlimKat for a couple of weeks and I absolutely love it. However, I am not a fan of the default camera app. I know there are a zillion camera apps available, but any suggestions from fellow SlimKat users?

Love the rom unfortunately I was having reboot issues and the radios wouldn't come back after the reboot. Might be because of TB. Question. Is the small call window that shows up when you're using your phone specific to this room or kit Kat feature?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Did you flash via CWM or TWRP? TWRP borks the radio. If you used CWM and still have radio issues, redownload the rom and try again. I don't follow what you mean by "small call window" while on the phone. Please elaborate.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adamw1101:
Cwm flash. The radio worked for days then one day. It rebooted when I was using voice to text. Its a small box at the bottom for the screen when using the phone and it'll ask you to accept or decline the call.

Are you using xposed modules? I have the same call window when I'm in hangouts.
